Interesting how you ignore the obvious.
If Adam was complete and perfect, then why did Adam sin at all?
Because he was perfectly capable of doing so. Duh
Adam was incomplete and weak.
Incorrect. He was incomplete, not weak. Adam was good and sinless, and had been given all the power and authority to subdue the earth and rule over it prior to Genesis 3:7. The weakness came AFTER his disobedience. You are adding things not stated in scripture.
His flesh was weak just like your flesh.
No, his flesh was good, and sinless. After Genesis 3:6 every other human's flesh (except that of Jesus') was weakened by sin.
Irrelevant. He could have been made from anything, a drop of dew, an atom of lightning, or flea dung,
Which is why God is merciful to us.
You are asserting a cause and effect you have nowhere evidenced. In other words, you're making stuff up.
He knows we are all but dust....
Gen 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
Psa 103:14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
Both verses were written AFTER Genesis 3:7, not before. It is very, very, very bad use of scripture to apply post-disobedient conditions to anything existing prior to Genesis 3:7.
And you do that quite often. That one error leads to a lot of your posts being wholly unscriptural and irrational.
- Can a three-month-old jump from the half-court line and dunk a basketball? No, s/he lacks the ability to do so.
- Can a three-month-old jump from under the net and dunk a basketball? No, s/he lacks the ability to do so.
- Can a physically fit, well-practiced, athletic twenty-year-old male jump from the half-court line and dunk a basketball? Yes!
- Can a person living at sea level ever contract HAPE (high-altitude pulmonary edema) by staying at sea level? No, the only way to acquire HAPE is by quickly ascending above 8,00 feet (2500 meters).
- Can a person living at sea level hike up Mt. Everest quickly, stay too long at the top and contract HAPE? Yes, it is inevitable.
Your answers to questions like this when they pertain to the pre-Genesis 3:7 Adam and sin are always wrong. These are the kinds of mistakes you make, and you make them quite often. Prior to Genesis 3:6 Adam was not sinful, imperfect, or weak. His flesh was not sinful, imperfect or weak, either. Prior to Genesis 3:7 Adam was stated in scripture by God Himself to be good and sinless AND possess the divinely given power and authority to subdue the earth and rule over it. Adam's first sin was not eating the forbidden fruit. His first act of disobedience was in not ruling over the serpent and Eve's disobedience! Had Adam obeyed God's blessed command to subdue the earth and rule over it he never would have eaten anything he was told not to eat. You need to stop applying post-Genesis 3-7 conditions to pre-disobedient conditions. Until that practice ceases your hamartiology will be thoroughly unscriptural and irrational.
Because of the many, many, many, many occasions you and I have had to discuss the facts of scripture
correctly and your abject failure to do so, you don't get the kind, gentle, patient, forbearing, hopeful, trusting Josh anymore. You sow bad teaching into the forums and it's not okay because the less mature or less informed may be led astray. Stop putting sin on the sinless Adam. Place sin on the sinful Adam all you like, but never conflate confuse the two.
