Tell me this. If you could, would you stop Eve from eating the apple?
Would you prevent the fall from grace? Would you save humanity?
Would you preserve the immortality of man? Tell me now, would you?
Let us keep going. Now, would you stop the bondage of the Hebrew people?
Would you stand behind the Pharaoh or Moses himself?
Oh, but we mustn't stop now! Would you tell King David not to watch her bathe?
Would you tell Solomon of his apostacy? Or would you simply watch as the kingdom fell?
A final test. Would you stop the betrayal? Yes, would you tell Judas "don't do it"?
Would you deny Him three times?
Would you yourself stop the passion?
For me, the answer is clear. No.
God is not naive, he had always known Eve would fall and he had always known what must be done.
If just one was stopped the dominos would fall.
I would not stop the salvation. But I will sit with the New Eve at the foot of the passion and I too will weep.
