I believe God discovered that people’s hearts were so stuck that they were going to make the wrong choice. And, God being God, God figured out a way to work with THAT. God figured out a way to work with the most horrible, awful choice people could make. God figured out a way to work with Jesus’ crucifixion. God figured out a way to turn worldly sin into Godly victory. That’s what I believe. And…God can STILL do that….regardless of what we choose.
