“God might have created man without the power to transgress His law; He might have withheld the hand of Adam from touching the forbidden fruit; but in that case man would have been, not a free moral agent, but a mere automaton. Without freedom of choice, his obedience would not have been voluntary, but forced... It would have been unworthy of man as an intelligent being, and would have sustained Satan's charge of God's arbitrary rule.” ... Ellen G. White
