Make sure you study Pelagianism very closely. You are moving close to that
position. Such leads to moral government theology and open theism. Make
sure that is where you want to be.

I really do not care where it might lead. Should I?? The fact of the matter is this: God expected Adam and Eve to do what He told them to do. He expected the same of Cain, of Abraham, of David, of Samson, of the Babylonians, of the people of Nineveh, those who listened to the Sermon on the Mount, to the adulterous woman ------------- to us all.
Adam , with the very same human nature I have, finally responds porrly to his condition and in so doing, changes his situation. Our response to that Adamic circumstance is to go and do likewise !! We all die because we have joined adam in his response to his human nature (Ro 5:12) Only Christ responds differently to the condition of the First Adam.
It is not that we cannot accomplish great good - rather, that we will , given enough time, commit sin that condemns. We don't have to - but we will.
