It was important to the plan of salvation that humanity be created
susceptible to sin and death because Christ was already assigned the task of
giving his life for the sins of the world before there even was a world (1Pet
1:20, Rev 13:8). In other words: humanity's susceptibility to sin and death
was essential, it was deliberate, and it was designed.
†. Gen 1:31 . . And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it
was very good.
The Hebrew word for "good" in that passage is extremely ambiguous, which
Webster's defines as capable of being understood in two or more possible
senses. Well; in the case of towb (tobe) there's a catalogue of senses to
choose from. However; in context, towb simply means everything turned out
exactly as God planned; including, but not limited to, humanity's
susceptibility to sin and death. That is just a cold, hard fact of life so
everybody might just as well bite the bullet, and get used to it.
