The Bible Tell Us And The Beginning Of The World

After a close analysis of Genesis in the Hebrew bible’s story of Adam and Eve, some people may ask, did the punishment fit the crime or was the Lord God being harsh and brutal with his punishments? This can be argued by many people because Adam, Eve and the serpent committed a sin. Adam and Eve without knowledge of what a sin is committed the act thinking everything would be okay, but what they didn 't know was that the Lord God was offended by their disobedience and so he punished them the way he saw fit. The serpent also was included in the punishment because of his wrongful doings. It was a harsh punishment because they were two innocent individuals and were mislead by the serpent. They didn 't know what sin really was until they committed the crime and were punished for it. The Lord God is the supreme being in the story where he has absolute power and expects obedience from his creatures or subjects. The Lord God created the universe, the earth, the land, the seas, plants, and all living creatures. The Lord God also created Adam and Eve and placed them in Eden, which was a beautiful land with beautiful creatures, fresh water and many edible fruit trees. The Lord God had only one rule, he instructed them not eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge. Sadly, Adam and Eve couldn 't obey the only rule in Eden and were punished. However, Adams and Eves disobedience came with a harsh punishment for each.

In Genesis, it felt like men were more important than women. Men were created first and women weren’t mentioned much in the epic except for Eve. When Eve was mentioned in the story it seemed like she was to blame for all of the problems because she convinced Adam to eat the forbidden fruit with her. Because Eve talked Adam into eating from the tree, women are responsible for sin on earth.

Things change when the serpent appeared to Eve and talked her into eating from the exact tree that God commanded them to eat from. Genesis 3:6 says, “So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate” (NIV). This is where the root of all human problems began. This is why all humans are born as sinners.

In Genesis, God interacts with Adam by speaking to him face to face. Whether God was giving out instructions or punishment to Adam and Eve, he was always doing it on a personal level. The usual portrayal of God as an omniscient being is instead replaced as mentor to Adam and Eve who is trying to help them understand their existence. This close relationship is shown even when man does something wrong. The only rule that God gives to Adam is that he must not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Adam and Eve go on to break the singular rule and be punished; but not to the extent most would think. Before partaking of the fruit God says that, "the day that you eat of it you shall die"(Genesis). Instead of dying, Adam and Eve are removed from the garden and go begin their lives. God punishes them for their actions, but also gives clothes and allows them to take the knowledge they have gained from the tree. Even after breaking the one rule that he has set for them, God allowed them to keep the knowledge they gained to begin mankind. This grace towards humanity is shown once again with Adam and Eve's children, Cain and Abel. Cain kills Abel after God accepts Abel's offering and not his own. Even with Cain having killed his own brother, God still does not punish Cain severally; "you will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth"(Genesis). This punishment is especially seen as inadequate as Cain goes on to settle in Nod and have his own family. This mercy by God shows that he was unable to punish humanity even for the most serious of offenses. This lack of punishment shows God's sympathy for mankind because of his close relationship with them. This close relationship stems from God's close bond with mankind because of their similar image and knowledge. This relationship that began as two very similar beings, has further blossomed as God has given great responsibility to

The book of Genesis records the creation of the world and everything in it, as well the early relationship between God and humanity. God creates man, Adam, “from the dust of the ground” (Genesis 2:7) and places him in a paradise on Earth called the garden of Eden, where he also places the tree of knowledge of good and evil. From the man, God creates a woman and tells them that they “may freely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil [they] shall not eat, for in the day that [they] eat of it [they] shall die (Genesis 2:16). Despite this warning, the woman, Eve, is eventually tempted to eat the fruit of the treat and convinces Adam to do the same, causing them to be cast out of the garden. Although Adam and Eve do have free will to do what they

Whilst the bible does not specifically mention euthanasia, it does address closely related topics. Euthanasia is essentially killing out of mercy, hence the name ‘mercy killing’. The bible tells us that we are not to murder (Exodus 20:13) and any form of taking a life is seen as killing. It says that we die when God chooses us to, and to murder is an attempt to deny God his right of appointing death. Therefore, ‘mercy killing’ is going against God’s will and is a sin. The sixth commandment is “You shall not murder”, and that justifies what is previously said. However, in the beatitudes, it says “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy”. If we show mercy by killing,

The Bible is composed of many different stories and narratives. Each one of these individual stories contributes to the greater story of the Bible; sometimes called the Grand Story of Scripture. Within each Story, they have elements that define the setting, characters, climax, and themes. The overall Grand Story of Scripture contains these elements in each of the five divisions: prologue, epilogue, and three acts in between.

The bible remains a mystery to many people in society today. Therefore, the relationship between God and Adam can be said to be a very complex relationship. Genesis shows us many examples of God 's interaction with Adam, apparently there is so much more about God’s disappointment and righteous anger in the garden. The world of Christianity fails to see there’s so much more to the story about God and Adam, I think many of us do the same. He was the first man, the father of mankind, however, Genesis does not fill-in the missing background information as to the reasons why man and woman came to be the first rational, mortal creations of God 's divinity. Moreover, most believers in the Bible do not know the specific similarities and differences regarding the two humans ' characteristics, and how their relationship impact each other as well as all other living creatures in the garden. We see the wrath, but we miss the grace. The bible does not tell if Adam was Baptized and upon his death he went to heaven, however many of religious leaders tried to read and to the relationship between god and Adam, without facts to back it up. Non statement should not be used to formulate doctrine. A conclusion cannot be drawn from something that God did not say. If Adam had been faithful, God may have had any number of plans for Adam, none of which are touched upon in Genesis. If all other aspects of earthly creation tend to decay and death it makes as much sense to conclude that human 's

The first thing the Lord God does after creating Adam is make a place for him to live in Eden, but Adam’s actions get him sent out of the garden. After breathing life into Adam, “the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed” (Gen 2:7-8). Eden when translated means delight, showing that the garden that the LORD God made for Adam was a divine place. Then the LORD God commanded Adam “you may eat freely of every tree of the garden; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat” (Gen 2:16-17). This is the one command the LORD God gave to Adam, but he disobeys because of his selfishness and is deserving of death. For Adam’s disobedience, the LORD God “drove out the man” so that he could not enter back into Eden to eat from the Tree of Life

I honestly think Adam is the blame. Him being the “head” should have had a sense of this act being a trick. And the idea that he is considered the head of the household, he should have told Eve that it was wrong. Eve as a woman, was persuade by Satan in his disguise as a serpent. Satan approached Eve because he knew she would be easier to persuade. After Satan persuade Eve, she went and persuaded Adam to take a bite from the fruit of the forbidden tree of knowledge. I think Eve wanted Adam to eat the fruit because she knew it was wrong after she did it and was scared of the consequences which was death. She insisted on Adam eating the fruit so they could share the consequences together. I think Adam is to be blame because he knew of the consequences

In six days God created the universe, the earth, and every living thing on it. This includes human beings, who were made in Gods own image. God created Adam and Eve to have an unobstructed relationship with him, He placed them in a paradise called the Garden of Eden and gave them freedom to live in friendship and trust with him. God saw that everything he created was good and He rested on the seventh day (Genesis 2:2). God left Adam and Eve in the garden with specific instructions: they are NOT to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. However, they rebel and sin enters the world after a serpent tricks Eve into questioning God’s love and motives. In her gullible innocence, she ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 3). Eve shared the fruit with Adam and they spiritually and physically die. This was catastrophic to Gods Order and led to the condemnation of all human

Many have wondered if it was Eves fault for eating the fruit/apple. Today we blame Eve for eating the apple and beginning the down fall of humanity. At the same time there’s a lot of questions about this subject. For example, was it as much of Adams fault as it was Eves or was it Primarily Eves fault, and does the truth get lost in the translation of the text. Many would argue the truth is the lost in the translation but many have different opinions on the topic.

However, they rebel and sin enters the world after a serpent tricks Eve into questioning God’s love and motives. In her gullible innocence, she ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 3). Eve shared the fruit with Adam and they spiritually and physically die. This was catastrophic to Gods Order and led to the condemnation of all human beings (Roman 5:18). Immediately, they

The Question of Morality - Mankind was created good, but sin entered the world through Adam according to

This notion has created controversy over gender equality. God commands Adam not to eat fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, but Eve persuades him to and the act of disobeying God is the original sin.
