Free will. God gave humans the abiity to think for themselves, to have their own desires. Their own preferences their own right to choose what they do and how. If they love God and how.

Now, the devil didn't like that. Not at all. Why should humans have a choice in the matter, he certainly didn't. The angels certainly didn't. Why would God, he thought, want them to have a choice? To have free will. It was a test, he reasoned.

It was a test.

It was a test. Obviously, God wanted him to test the humans. If they had free will, if they really had free will, anything he did to sway them in any particular way would have no effect. They wouldn't do what he said, asked or ordered. Not unless they really wanted to.

Coercion.

This was the test. Come down mortal. Come down serpent. Come down seducer. Take the woman. The second, for she is not the first. Chawah. Asherah. Hawwa. Eve. Take the woman. Tell her of the tree, tell her of the fruit. Forbidden fruit. Fruit of knowledge. Fruit of lust. "When you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

Tell her.

love her want her use her fuck her

Coercion.

Say she takes the bait, take the advice, takes the fruit, eats the fruit, shares the fruit. Then what? Then what? How will he know that she didn't want what he offered? How will he know he made her do it?

How will he know?

How will he know?

Free will.

Angels don't have it.

And this is the test.
