What do you think regarding this question. Why are humans "subjected to vanity" first, before entering into paradise? Is it as simple as because our Father wants us to learn lessons through the adversity of our subjection? Or is it deeper than that? Also, I don't ask this because I have a problem with it. I don't. I use to. But now I just tell our Father that I just trust you and thanks for going through this with us spiritually. I also tell our Father that I know my subjection is your will and therefore it is my passion. So in a strange way, there is a sense of comfort or satisfaction in adversity or even in suffering. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone has an opinion on this. If not thats ok. But if so, thanks in advance. :happy3:
All of creation was subject to vanity--transientness, depravity, death. It has something to do with this.--
Romans 8
19For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
[the] "creature"
G2937

ktis'-is
From G2936; original formation (properly the act; by implication the thing, literally or figuratively): - building, creation, creature, ordinance.
How about because that's the aftermath of Adam's decision to receive the fruit of knowledge from his Eve? He was consumed by what he consumed. As a result, all who follow after him are now also subjects to that same vainity. It's now the nature of our realm we live in as human beings.
