Luo Sheng and Qiao Li sat facing each other, in the warehouse where daily necessities were stored. Qiao Li was so impressed by the abundance of high-quality food that he jumped in surprise – the bags of food indicated that they were still within the expiration date.

"I don't have to go out to buy things, these can last for a while, and I don't eat much." Qiao Liang grinned and looked at Luo Sheng with a soliciting look, "You won't be cruel to let me starve to death—"

These things are all stockpiled goods that Cheng Yin has people send regularly. Of course, Luo Sheng would be very generous, and he didn't even plan to distribute food.

After eating, the solution is forced out - that's what he thinks. After all, death can come sooner than the planned distribution of food, and it is better to think about the latter than to think about it. For example, the moment I swallowed my breath, I regretted not eating my favorite piece of cake, and I ended up hungry and crying.

It's super blind!

Seeing that Luo Sheng was silent in thinking, Qiao Liang suddenly jumped up and said in a spirit of enlightenment: "Ah! Wouldn't you be planning to imitate the changes in those disaster movies, under the same roof during extraordinary times, premeditated not only not to give food to others, but also to eat others? Then I can be said to have died worse than the others outside. ”

Suddenly felt that this girl was very interesting, and Luo Sheng couldn't help laughing.

"Eat you? It sounds exciting, but I don't think so. He laughed and shook his head, then pointed to the snacks with his chin, "Eat, it's not a strange thing." But let's finish what I just said. ”

"Genesis? Okay, shall I eat a bag of potato chips first? ”

Luo Sheng gestured to the food on the shelf, so that he would not say the word "please", Qiao Li grabbed a bag of potato chips, tore open the aluminum foil, took two slices and put them in his mouth, and chewed out the sound of clacking.

"I'll read a few paragraphs to you first, you go and find the problem yourself, if you don't find anything wrong with your best, I'll say it's okay to wear it?"

"Hmm." Luo Sheng nodded.

Qiao Liang sucked his finger on the potato chips, and then said.

Gen2:8 And the LORD God set up a garden in Eden in the east, and put there the man whom he had made.

Gen2:9 And the LORD God made every tree grow out of the ground, that it might be pleasing to the eye, and that the fruit thereof might be food. And in the midst of the garden there was a tree of life, and a tree of good and evil.

Gen2:15 And the LORD God put the man in the garden of Eden, and gave him repairs and guarded it.

Gen2:16 And the LORD God said unto him: Of every tree of the garden thou shalt eat as much as thou shalt please.

Gen2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it, for in the day thou shalt eat of it, thou shalt surely die. ”

When biting on the word "death", Qiao Li's eyes revealed a mysterious light, as if death was the final ending of the whole story.

"How? Hear that? She asked again.

Even if the question thrown by a girl ten years younger than herself can't be answered perfectly, since there is an abnormality, it will not be impossible to find it at all.

Rasson began to feel confused again, and he was sure that these passages sounded fine, and who would doubt the Bible? Waiting to go to hell? Having said that, the logical trap can't be seen through on the surface, and I am a graduate of philosophy, how can I not find it. Luo Sheng seemed to see his former mentor knocking him on the head with a book.

"What kind of logical trap is it about?" Luo Sheng asked.

Qiao Li hooked the corners of his mouth, and the smile with the pear vortex became a little brighter: "I remind you of one thing, free will." ”

Luo Sheng's heart skipped a beat, and it was free will, a question of nerves that had been tortured for the past ten days. This is my dish, Luo Sheng thought secretly...... I thought about it for a long time, yes, there is a big article here, but I can't find the entrance. He ends up putting the blame he can't think of on physical and mental exhaustion, and then surrenders.

"Teacher Qiao, please advise."

Qiao Li pursed his lips: "It's boring, what are you doing with your brain?" Are you surrendering so soon, uncle? ”

Uncle? Luo Sheng hurriedly touched his chin, whether he would consume himself as an old man in Cambodia for a few days. His chin was bare, freshly shaved in the shower, and the scent of aftershave. But at this moment, he was really tired of thinking, "Well, I didn't take brain pills in the morning, and I was sluggish." ”

Qiao Liang patted his hand on the crumbs of potato chips and said, "Okay, let me explain, the question starts with the first sentence: 'God set up a garden in Eden in the east, and placed the people he had made there. Do you understand who you are right to whom you have made? ”

"Adam."

Yes, in other words, God created Adam as soon as He first set him up in the Garden of Eden, with nowhere else to go. Is that right? There is no doubt that this sentence is so understood. There can't be a second explanation, right? But that's one of the traps, and the source of the whole trap. So, did Adam not have freedom in the first place? ”

Luo Sheng opened his mouth and was stunned, feeling a trace of fear at Qiao Li's bold idea. That's right, it's not taken out of context. Rasheng turned on his phone and wanted to look up the contents of Genesis 2:7 in the Bible, if that was the case......

"Verse 7 is the LORD, who made man out of the dust of the ground, and breathed life into his nostrils, and he became a man of spirit, whose name was Adam."

Qiao Liang added as if he could penetrate his heart. Luo Sheng's fingers were trembling slightly, and his heart was pounding and pounding......

Qiao Li's voice continued to ring in his ears: "Standam was placed in the Garden of Eden in verse 8, and in verse 9, 'God made every tree grow out of the ground...... and what kind of tree it grew was also arranged by God. Until verse 15, the trap came again, and 'The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden, and made him repair and keep it.' 'Do you see?' Adam had no choice but to guard the Garden of Eden until the back—"

"I see." Luo Sheng interrupted Qiao Li, and he thought of Harry. Frankfurt's assumption in The Freedom of the Will and the Concept of the Individual –

"Having free will" means being able to choose another way of doing things, and free will offers an alternative.

Imagine that Adam was free to move in the Garden of Eden and eat the fruit of the tree when he was hungry, but he did not have free will because he had no other choice, at least he could not go to the sea to catch a fish.

Luo Sheng repeated this idea to Qiao Li, and Qiao Liang nodded.

"Yes, as you say, and the trap is not over until later—Genesis 3:1, 'The serpent is more cunning than all the living creatures of the field, the Lord, God has made.'" And the serpent said unto the woman, Did God really say that ye should not eat of all the books of the garden? You may already be thinking now, why did an all-knowing, all-powerful, all-good God make such a thing as a serpent?

Then the serpent tempted Eve to eat the fruit of the tree of good and evil, remember, it was the serpent who tempted her. Verse 5 says, 'For God knoweth that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God knoweth good and evil,' and you should know what the trap is—"

Luo Sheng nodded, he already knew what Qiao Li meant.

Adam, Eve, and all livestock, birds, and beasts were created by God, and for the time being, Adam was created with or without intelligence, but it is undeniable that he had the first-order desire of living beings (wanting to do this and that) and the second-order desire of human beings (that is, the desire to want to do something, marking a reflective self-evaluation), which is also the difference between humans and living beings.

For example, if you want to eat, you will eat, but if you want to kill someone, you will make an evaluation first.

And free will means that someone is free to have the will to do what they want to do, and when you have the will you want to have, you are in line with the second-order yu desire, and you have free will.

So, imagine that when Eve was seduced by the serpent, she had a second-order yu hope, she wanted to be wise, and she wanted to know the difference between good and evil. Later, her behavior of eating the fruit was also in accordance with her second-order Yu hope, so how can we be sure that the seduction of the serpent and the Yu hope of Eve were not given by God?

The same applies to Adam, who was created by God. Or maybe us.

Are we free?

Luo Sheng's eyes were blank, and the whole person was frozen in his thoughts for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses......
