Why didn't God blame Satan for tempting Adam and Eve?

He was the one who tempted us. And why did God even put a tree, with fruit, in the middle of the garden and get mad at US when it was all Satan's fault? That's a really nice God!

Update:

Yes but God knows everything, right?

So he should have known I made something to fck up my plans so in a thousands of years I should flood it and start all over.

    Ha ha! Fail! A lovely peaceful growing tree with bright red apples…tempting…I'm not going to blame this on Satan because it was Adam and Eve's fault for giving into the VERY VERY strong temptation! XD

    Source(s): I SO see your logic.

    God didn't command Satan to not eat from the tree. He commanded Adam.

    The tree was for satan. It was only half satans fault.We were told not to eat.Satan got the worse end of the punishment all in all tho.

    God did not blame satan because he only persuaded them to make decision, ultimately final decision was of adam and eve. it is just like a boy slapping another boy and giving an excuse that my friend say so. whom to blame???

    Well, unfortunately he forced satan to do that.

    And he forced "adam and eve" to eat it.

    God forces us to be evil, and he forces satan to be evil, and he forces the angels to be evil also.

    It's all just his machine of evil!

    But unfortunately to be good and appreciate good you have to know evil, to do good and appreciate good but most importantly to desire good you are forced to go through an experience of evil, and who could deny that this is just a bunch of evil!

    Like a kid, he goes trick or treating right, and you say "hey, you can't have to much candy, it will hurt you! Don't do it!" So, what is nessecary for the kid to do? Eat to much candy, and of course it hurts him, so depending on the child he learns at some point not to do that, he ends up even not wanting to and having all of the knowledge nessecary to do right and want right, and has a full and mature appreciation for right.

    Now, unbeknownst to some God is a being. He was born, his world made him, it just made him. So, even God was three at one time, and then he was a teenager, and through much pain and suffering he learned to do right, it was his experience of evil that taught him to be perfect, he paid his wage and went through the "lake of fire" and he was finally whole.

    don't get me wrong. He cannot die, this is actually impossible, but that doesn't mean that his "being" doesn't work a certain way and just like us he can't just hammer himself in the mouth and knock out his own teeth, you know?.

    So, eventually he wanted children, because it's "not good for a man to be alone" right? Just like it isn't good for us to be alone it isn't good for him to be alone either. So, in much much grieving he set out to have children, it came to the point of our earth in his mind, a reproducing element was needed and thus you have earth don't you?! And that is all that earth is really, it's a proving ground to get to the goal of loving children and family.

    Sorry, im on a tangent, he didn't blame satan because it wasn't satan's fault, it was God's doing, God is responsible for it all.

    Im at a loss though right now, i know that we need to know this stuff, but want to know exactly and specifically why you know. It isn't specifically like earth at all, that is obvious, but what is it like exactly? He makes it all for a reason, can't wait to see why thats all. It will be good being immortal, and finally happily live, with the knowledge to do and desire right(be comfortable/love/well being).

    God grafted all of his children into the Tree of Life long ago. even you are saved through this mercy. Keep the sins small.
