The wages of sin is death its the law . Why? God is the God of the living, not the God of the dead. Death brings about judgement. And judgement results in condemnation. Take note: Didn't the Lord die? He did and will be judged. He will be judged JUST and the justifier of those in Him. Maybe now, we can comprehend His unthinkable sacrifice and meaning of, "My God why have you forsaken?"
Adam sinned now when there is trouble i hear people blaming it on God! Why has GOD allowed it etc. Well it is not that GOD allowed it but i think it is because Adam sinned and we now have free choice and so we accept Christ as our saviour and thru him, God. So as Christians our choice is made and now we have to have faith until the Judgement day. There will still be disasters etc. until then
If you research Romans 16:20 you will find that Paul had his heels bruised by Satan physically because he preached what bruised Satan's head which was the Ram substitute provided to Abraham and also the dyed red Rams skins used by Moses for the covering of the Holy tent. The original Hebrew had a masculine pronoun, the King James version has it, and the Roman Catholics have she shall bruise.
And Take The Helmet of Salvation and The Sword of The Spirit which is The Word of God(Ephesian 6:17) For The Word of God is Quick and Powerful, Sharper than Any Twoedged Sword---( Hebrews 4:12) A Flaming Sword is The Word of God, That kept Adam and Eve out of The Garden. And The Word was Made Flesh and Dwelt Among Us ( John 1:14)
Satan questioned what God said,which brought doubt.
He questioned then he lied. Don't listen to questioning of God's word. I remember asking Jesus to give a scripture that would show me he is God, he gave Matthew 4:7
1 ow the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the gard
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof,
The Gift of Eternal Separation in a Lake of Fire. We Still have The Same Choice to Choose Right or wrong, Good or evil. They Were Told not to eat of the fruit of One Tree. They had it All. What The Tree Showed was Our Disobedience and Desire for More. Any One of Us would have Done The Same. Thanks to The Lamb We Can Eat From The Tree of Life( Revelation 22:14)
The only thing I dont understand is;
When we were created we were given free will which set us above animals and angels etc.
Then because of that free will we disobeyed. Eating the fruit gave us knowledge of good and evil. But we are not on the same level as God, which is what the tree was meant to do. So what "gifts" did the tree give us, that wasnt already provided by free will??
That's a Little Backwards. It Proves We are Sinners Unable to Eat of The Tree of Life. Keep Back by A Flaming Sword. Verse 24. Christ is not a Replacement. He is The Only Sacrifice that can Open The Way to The Tree of Life. Without The Blood of The Lamb We are Doomed. It is Impossible to have Your Sins Washed Away by the blood of Bulls and Goats( Hebrews 10:4) if Called ask Forgiveness( John 6:44)!
Servant of the most high God on Genesis 3 - 5 years ago
Jesus Christ The Lord Of Lords And King Of Kings The Son Of God. With out Jesus doing what he did every single man and woman ever created was condemed in there sin. Jesus made a way for anyone man or woman to go to heaven for there was no way. Read the gospel of John all of it and pray to Jesus Christ to forgive you of your sins repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
This to me proves we were always forgiven for our innocence and lack of understanding evil due to we are born innocent. Jesus just replaced burnt and blood sacrifice with prayer. Nothing more.
The seed of the woman , speaks of Jesus who he alone will destroy the Devil. Man will have to deal with evil and sin until Jesus destroy the evil Satan. This chapter speaks of the fall of man, and the coming of a savior. Man alone can not stop the Devil. Man faces many tribulation until Jesus come to save us..
Out of all the world religions there are only two religions.The false religion of man trying to create a way back to God on mans terms and the true religion of God providing man a way to come to him. A perfect template of a false and true religion : The fig leaves to present themselves before God (false religion) God slaughtered animals to produce skins (true). Human works (false) Christ (true).
The first two set aside for Gods purpose was Adam and Eve, so they are the first prophets who failed in total submission of one law, so many more laws do not give us Gods respect. The law of avoiding sin is not righteous since we have love and compassion that is unborn toward those we have enmity against. The tree of life is the spirit of sacrifice when Gods love suffered for a son and the word.
God told MOSES that his NAME WAS ABRAHAM ISSAC AND JACOB, THIS MY NAME FORVER MY MEMORIAL TO ALL GENERATIONS SIMPLY B/C THESE 3 MEN ARE A METAPHOR FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD ABRAHAM OFFERED UP HIS ONLY SON JUST AS THE HEAVENLY ABRAHAM OFFERED UP HIS ONLY SON CHRIST JESUS. ISAAC WAS THE PROMISE CHILD MEANING THAT CHRIST IS TH HEAVENLY PROMISE CHILD THUS WE SEE THE KINGDOM IN THESE 3 MEN HIS NAME SAKE.
Animals were originally grass eating, even lions and bears. But after the flood, God allowed man to eat animals (see Genesis 9:3). 1 Tim. 4:3 says, "Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth." During the Millenium, animals will eat grass again (see Isaiah 65:25).
Adam was given instructions by his creator of what he could and could not do and dominion over all living things. That information was past to his help mate. Satan saw an opportunity and used it for his advancement, which introduced sin into the world. And today he has the advantage to deceive but like any guardian or parent. God made it clear of their wrongs and the punishment for disobeying
The conversation Eve was having with the serpent in chapter three showed she was told by God or Adam not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge. My question is could they have eaten from the Tree of Life without punishment. If so, if they were evil they'd have premeditated and ate from the Tree of Life first before being exiled from the Garden. Just a mistake as we all do and we're allowed to repent.
The Ark of the Covenant was an earthy expression of a HEAVENLY KINGDOM IN THE MOST HOLY PLACE WAS THE FATHER BETWEEN THE 2 CHURIBIM OF GLORY,GOD WD NOT SHARE HIS GLORY WITH THE 2 CHURIBIM OF GLORY UNLESS THEY WERE ALL 3 RELATED AS FATHER SON N GRANSON,ISAIAH DESCRIBES ONE OF THESE WINGED CREATURES AS IMMANUEL GOD WITH US, Malachi describes tHE other as the Son of RIGHTEOUSNESS with HEALING WINGS.
Unbelieving is evil.
There is no fear in love.
