“I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that

I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing;

therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;”

Deuteronomy 30:19

Since the time God created the first man and woman, He has given them a part of His divine inheritance, and that is to make their own choices.  Unfortunately, they chose to make a path that caused the downfall of all mankind.
