If only imperfect moral character is the cause of disobedience, then Adam and Eve were necessarily created thusly.
The conundrum of Lucifer's rebellion is resolved in the same way as one resolves Adam and Eve's. | I understand that much. And I understand that the answer will be the same for Adam and Eve. My only question is how the moral character of a being created by God can be imperfect. Is it possible for God to create unfallen beings who have a capacity to sin, or is that an attack on God's goodness? Is it possible for Him to lower others' characters from original perfection to another state that would allow for sin?
