Why did God give Adam the ability to sin? I once heard an answer to this question and I thought that it was weak. The answer goes like this: If God did not give Adam the ability to sin, then Adam would have been a robot and he would not have been able to love God genuinely.
That answer is weak because Jesus does not have the ability to sin and He is not a robot. He has a genuine love for God the Father. The saints in heaven do not have the ability to sin and they are not robots either. They have a genuine love for God. Moreover, even if a person did not have the ability to sin, God could give that person the desire to love God and the ability to act according to his desires.
