There is a famous story that is in the bible. This story is about Adam and Eve. It is probably one of the most important stories in the bible. This story tells about the very first sin that was ever created. It goes on to tell about how everything changed once Adam took a bite of the apple. It is one that I have heard since I was just a little girl and it still holds meaning today. This is how the story goes. The story starts out with God creating Adam. After God was done creating Adam he placed him in the garden of Eden to work it and to take care of it. In the garden of Eden there were many tress that were beautiful and had plenty of food on them. In the middle of the garden were the trees of life. One of those tress was the tree of …show more content…
God then wanted to know how they knew they were naked and wanted to know if they ate off of the tree of knowledge. Adam proceeded to tell God that Eve gave him some fruit and he ate it. God then questioned Eve and asked her why. She told him it was because the serpent told her she could eat it, so she did. Because Adam and Eve disobeyed God they were punished. God told Eve because of her sin she would have to give birth to children and he would make the labor extremely painful. Adam's punishment is that he would have to eat food from the ground and the ground would be cursed. The ground would produce thorns and thistles. After this, God drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden. The moral of this story is to listen to your parent(s). Just because somebody tells you something doesn't make it true. Your parent(s) tell you not to do something for your own good. They tell you to protect you. You will always have the option to make your own decisions. It is what you decide to do with that decision that is important. Your parent(s) only want the best life possible for you. All they want to do is spare you from a lifetime of heartache and headache. In the end the choice you make you have to live with the consequences. Telling a story to teach a lesson versus just setting ground rules helps give the other person a better insight. If a parent tells a child not to do something nine times out ten they are going to do it
Dated back to the 10th century B.C., the story of Adam and Eve is told in Genesis chapters 2 and 3 of the Christian Bible. The creation is the main focus of chapter 2 and their fall and punishment is the main focus in chapter 3. God creates Adam in his image from mud, he blows to his face and gives him life. God presents all of the animals of the land to Adam and he is not satisfied, so God created Eve out of Adams rib as a companion and helper for him, and he is satisfied with Gods work. God commands Adam and Eve to not eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. But, the serpent persuades Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, and she persuades Adam to do so as well. After they eat the forbidden fruit they realize they are naked
He created man from dust and named him Adam, but Adam was lonely; so God took from Adam a rib. With Adam’s rib God created a woman and called her Eve. Adam and Eve were placed in the Garden of Eden to live in harmony with God. The garden was a perfect utopia for Adam and Eve.
The serpent eventually persuades Eve to eat from the “Tree of Knowledge”. After she eats from it, she has Adam eat from it. Shortly after, they finally notice they are naked and become self conscious and cover up. God then asks about what they have done and Eve blames Adam, while Adam blames the Serpent. God curses them, and makes Eve suffer through labor and banishes both of them from the Garden of Eden.
The story of original sin takes place in the Garden of Eden Adam and Eve are the only humans on earth at the time God tells them that they could eat from any tree in the garden except one. After a serpent tricked them
In the book of Genesis, we are introduced to everything. From the creation stories to the sagas in between Genesis is an opening to the old testament and an opening to the book of exodus. This essay will contrast each creation story and describe each stories interest, explain how Genesis 12: 1-3 links the stories of 2: 4b-11 with the ancestral narratives in 12-50 and connect the sagas of Abraham/Sarah, Isaac/ Rebecca and Jacob/ Racheal.
Gen (2) revealed the formation of mankind from the dust of the ground Adam was made to take care of the land. Then God thought man should not be alone and form Eve from one of Adams Rib first to help him take care of the living creatures take care of the earth and obey the laws that were given to them, by being fruitful and multiple the earth as well as taking care everything on earth. (Gen 2)
When comparing the ancient Greek creation myth of Prometheus and the Judaeo-Christian Adam and Eve story we find some striking similarities in both of them.
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.
Gandhi once said, “I have also seen children successfully surmounting the effects of an evil inheritance. That is due to purity being an inherent attribute of the soul”.
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
In the beginning, God created the heavens, and the Earth. The angels, and the humans. The sky, the land, the sea. Plants and animals. When he created humans he instructed them to protect and nurture the world. Adam and Eve were the very first protectors of the garden, and the earth. they would never reach their full potential, as Lucifer the angel saw it, he wanted to help them. He told Adam and Eve to eat from the tree and They would be free to do as she wanted in the world she could choose her destiny.
Just like how a child becomes fascinated after hearing stories of their babyhood, or how a family is eager to discover their genealogy, the book of Genesis is a very intriguing story to many Christians because it depicts how mankind and the world around them were formed. Genesis 1-3 allow a base knowledge for understanding the rest of the bible because it portrays the way that God created the world – how it was supposed to be and why the world is the way it is today. After God spends six days working on creating his idea of a perfect world, it says “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good,” (Genesis 1:31). However, as Eve disobeyed God’s word and listened to the deceitful serpent, God knew he needed to punish Adam and Eve in order
In the story Adam and Eve were let to be living in the Garden of Eden, where God had created one of everything. He created many fruits and vegetables, animals, plants, and trees. It was first Adam’s job to take care and live in the Garden of Eden, till one day God saw that Adam was lonely so he took matters into his own hands. God created Eve out of Adam’s rib, that’s how Eve began to live in the Garden of Eden. The Garden of Eden was Adam and Eve’s home and it was beautiful. Till one day God and Jesus had come over to the garden to talk to Adam and Eve and what he was expecting for them to do while they lived there. There were many trees in the Garden of Eden that Adam and Eve could eat from and take care of. God had told Adam and Eve that they could eat fruit from all the trees but one. It was the tree of knowledge of good and evil, it was the center tree of the garden. God had said if they ate fruit from that tree that they would die and have to leave the Garden of Eden. If they didn’t eat fruit from that tree they would be able to live in the Garden of Eden forever.
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
In Adam's case, Satan in the form of a serpent persuaded him to bit the apple.
