Claim about the badness of God

Claim:

”God is the one who punished every living being because some couple ate a fruit that he knew they'd eat. (He's all knowing, isn't he? Or do we just forget that when it's inconvenient?)”

Answer:

The Bible says that every human being has been tempted. And adds: Temptations must come. Adam and Eve were tempted, but that was not their sin, the sin was to give in to that temptation. We are in the same position as Adam and Eve in this sense. We are also tempted and we also ought not to give in. God certainly knew that we would give in. But He also knew that there would be a way out of that state of rebellion. He knew that any fallen man can be redeemed.
