That is true. We must always keep God's greater plan in mind when thinking about any judgement he makes. He is not lax concerning his promises.

What I will try to answer in the next post is the more immediate issue, which people sometimes do not fully grasp. I have seen people accuse God of juvenile actions, yet I disagree that we can judge the judgement of a Holy God. However, as with many things in the Bible, there may be a deeper story here than we realise, and I hope that the view I will present, which I only recently discovered, does shed a light on the events of the Fall.
