  • Jeff Berry on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    The Word of God deserves more than just a cursory reading. Did God create darkness or is "darkness" the result of the creation of light? The word "created" in Isa 45:7 is more accurately translated (the) "one-creating"
  • Atlanta on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    Isaiah 45:7
    I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
  • A disciple on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    AMEN Jeff; It was a real species of fruit tree! What was in the fruits had power to give knowledge of good and evil; just like the tree of life's fruits have power to give eternal life to the one who eats it. God has always very good and wise reasons for the commandments He gives us, and expects us to keep them that it may be well with us. Deliberate defiance to God's guidance is to self destruct.
  • Jeff Berry on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    It is the tree of "KNOWLEDGE of good and evil". It was forbidden. To eat of it was to expierence disobeying God. Out of love He wanted us to choose obedience. Choose Him. God did not create evil. He allows it to give us a choice. For this reason, evil will exist until the end of time.
  • Celia W. on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    so it looks to me like God created the subtil serpent (which a lot of Christian mistake for satan)
    God also is the one that CREATED the tree of good and evil so does that mean evil came from God and not any one else?
  • Sidonia david on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    This a hard story to to explain but to n good create life food n away to live a good life,but because Satan's evilness drove them away from a wonderful life,the creation n things he s done for a greater life but Satan's has a way of making things real good that we drift away from the goodness of good n ruin our godly living to such evilness n loose out on what we were created to live in paradise
  • Rickson on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago

    Thinking of he forbidden tree was this tree a apple or fig tree ?
  • A disciple on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    BSP; Very well said! We have the Word of God in the Scriptures to know, to speak forth in faith, to stand on by His grace, against every wicked thought or desire of the flesh that seeks to take us away from Jesus! The temptation isn't the sin! And if when we are tempted, we "Take the kingdom of heaven by force and violence" over our own thoughts and passions, by standing on the Word, we will win!
  • BSP on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    Verse 6: Eve did not control her thoughts and actions and this led to disastrous results. We must continue to put forth effort to control both our thoughts and actions so that we can make wise decisions that are pleasing to Jehovah God.
  • Bruce on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    Tamara: Adam was not deceived, but The Woman being deceived was in The Transgression. 1Timothy 2:14
  • A disciple on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    Tamara; Because of Adam's disobedience and hearkening to his wife over keeping the commandment of God, death passed to all men. The woman being deceived and drawing her husband away from innocence and into crime, was in the transgression; and so put all women under subjection to the rule and authority of their own husbands. Those who rebel against this are in disobedience rebellion against Christ.
  • Tamara on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    Since Adam ate of the tree that's when sin fell on the world. Not the woman, but the man cause God forbidded him first not to eat of the tree. And God sent his son Jesus into the world to give us a way to the tree of life. Salvation through his son Jesus making right what the first man messed up. That's why it's so much killing and wickedness going on in this world because of Adam. We must repent.
  • A disciple on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    Jevon; Adam means "Red" as from the ground he was taken from and created. The first murderer sinned against God, against his brother whom he slew, and against his own moral consciousness; for God came to him beforehand and said, Why are you wroth? and why is your countenance fallen? If you do right won't you be blessed? but if you do not right sin is at the door. Cain chose to be heathen instead!
  • Jevon on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    I have a questions also that I was getting to. How did this come across my mind. Because I thought about it many times...what is the commandments, law, precepts...who broke it first...it look like it was me as well as Adam a human being isn't that what's adam name means?
  • Jim on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    Eve wasn't created yet when God told Adam about the tree of good and evil, the devil went for eve instead of adam.
  • Donna Cromb on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    16, many women may have trouble understanding why God said the husband is to rule over the wife, but face it, God said it! Someone has to be the boss and make the final decision especially in marriage and family. Not all men were created with wisdom and understanding though, and neither were all women. Which means they had to work together and let God be in charge. Right?
  • A disciple on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    Rene; you can be sure that there are multitudes of parents who have since likewise mourned over a son that went to the devil! Even though they turned aside after wickedness; this doesn't make them not their parents; but the wicked chooses to NOT be their son! It is a wonder to me that God is so good and self-controlled toward wicked men; something I really have great difficulty with myself doing!
  • A disciple on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    Rene; You have to read it again; Cain was their first son. There's multitudes of real sons and daughters that are not mentioned in the genealogy, because there was a specific purpose in WHO is named; that is, the line of the LORD's Anointed. Cain knew full well what was right, and chose to have a wicked mind against God and the Saviour to come; so he willfully omitted all reference to Christ.
  • A disciple on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    Hi Donna; you know the more we read the Word the more we will get; and that's the way the Lord raises us, first we are toddlers then we get a little bigger then we can go to kindergarten elementary school, etc. And when you think back when you were little how kids tried to guess (or lie) about things only grown ups know about? Jesus said, "I have MANY THINGS to say to you" but we have to GROW UP.
  • Rene from Gods Ambassage on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    The reason Cain is not in Adam genealogy is because Cain is not Adams son. Eve did eat which is to say take in the fruit parah paw-raw' that which brings forth from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which symbolized Satan. Because she did this God said He was going to multiply her conception. God is talking about adding to her conception, her pregnancy.
  • Donna Cromb on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    Insight and disciple, u bring up some good points that sin is making a choice to disobey God, to willfully turn from God, and sin is death in a spiritual sense. I never understood that and my father said it's just a story. I don't think so any longer. God is saying how we were separated from Him by Adam's sin, how we lost the garden of Eden. And it was not all Eve, Adam made a choice.
  • A disciple on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    Hi Cynthia; That is a very interesting point you bring up. Going over the whole thing we can see that neither the man nor his wife actually said they were sorry; but the LORD didn't hammer on it, and released them anyway to live the rest of their lives under toil and sorrow until they died; upon the Word of the Saviour the Seed of the woman to come, to break the serpent's head by His own bruising.
  • Cynthia on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    All I can say is that women tend to love flattery so it could be that Eve caved to the guile of satan or rather Satan played on her naivety, luring her into a false sense than she would become as wise as God.
  • Karyssa on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    Adem really loved eve and nothing can split them apart
  • A disciple on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    Insight; Paul never said that Adam was innocent; Adam caused an alienated from God sin-nature and death to pass to all men; that is not innocence! The woman being deceived was in transgression; and the man hearkened to the voice of his wife, and disobeyed the LORD God. When sin conceived, they knew that they were naked, and ran to hide in shame; afraid of the holy voice of God. So we all must die.
  • Insight777 on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    Explain how Adam is innocent of sin. I do not see that. No matter how I view this, Adam knew he was not supposed to eat yet he willfully chose to turn against his Lord God. Some think it was because he loved Eve more than God. Adam wanted to do as he pleased without restrictions. Paul says Adam is without sin but Eve should be punished for sin. How is that righteous, male sin is not sin?
  • A disciple on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    I wonder where all this projected importance about blood-lines began, and to what end? It is clear, that God has made of one blood all nations of men, and that the life of the flesh is in the blood; but next to that, what is really the issue? The LORD said through the Prophet, "I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed:" and also that He will turn to all people a pure language.
  • A disciple on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    Insight; Yes, and may I add, that the blood does not pass through the woman, but through the seed of the man. Jesus came in the flesh through His mother, as we all do; but He was separate from sinners in that He was incarnate through the Spirit of God. Very thoughtful, but not too bright men, might well ask, How can these things be? But we then have to ask, How can God create by simply speaking?
  • Insight777 on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    It is important to understand it is Josephs linage that is traced and not Jesus. Joseph is not the biological father of Jesus. Before Abraham, Jesus existed. How is David his father? Jesus denies
    bloodline connection with those men. Salvation does not come from Adam or any of his sinning sons.
  • Lu2677 on Genesis 3 - 6 years ago
    "read the account again"v.14 To Satan;because thou hast done this you are cursed.God started the curse in 14, continued the curse in 15."And unto the woman he said."Continued the curse in 16 "And unto Adam He said."through 19.The physical death of the body, and having knowledge of good and evil is a given,happened when they ate.Did the new covenant change the events of 14-19? NO. Still cursed
