Before sin, the parents of the human race enjoyed a freedom not known in the world until today. They were created perfect in every sense of the word and understood the uniqueness of their design as being different than the rest of creation; they were to carry on the cultural mandate in a productive manner. Of their own free will, Adam and Eve made a choice to disobey/rebel against one commandment given to them not to participate of the forbidden fruit even though they were warned not to. When they did, they brought the disaster we find ourselves up until this day.
