1 | Did God really walk around the garden? | Gen 18:1 | MSU | 30746 | ||
I am new to this group. While not a new Christian, I have decided to study the Bible in earnest and I am grateful to this resource and you scholars out there. Question: Can anyone explain Genesis 3:8 to me where in speaking about Adam and Eve it says.. Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day... Was God actually physically walking around the garden with Adam and Eve? I guess this surprising to me |

2 | Did God really walk around the garden? | Gen 18:1 | Lionstrong | 30747 | ||
Welcome to the Forum, MSU: God is spirit (John 4:24) and as such does not have a body. Being almighty he can manifest himself in a body as he did to Abraham (Gen 18). Having said this, I've never been sure if there was physical manifestation in this case with our first parents. One thing is clear though, Adam was aware of the presence of God by the audible sound of God walking in the garden. One important point not to miss in this detail is that the Eternal, Almighty God is personal; and that man, before the Fall, had an intimate, personal relationship with this God! This relationship, lost for us in the Fall, can be retored to us in Christ! Enjoy the Forum! Peace, Lionstrong |
