Suffering, Obedience And The Origin Of Sin

Book excerpt: This book explores the meaning of obedience based on the biblical teaching from the book of Hebrews that Jesus Christ as the Son has to learn obedience from his suffering. The author delves into the various issues surrounding the nature of obedience, and weaves them into a discourse on the efficient cause of the sin of the first parents. He draws them together into an assertion; that the fall of the first parents in the Garden of Eden is not a possible outcome, it is an inevitable outcome.
