2 | What was the original sin? | Gen 3:1 | BradK | 123165 | ||
gawdzdice, In Genesis 2:16-17, God warns, "The Lord God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die." The original sin is called The Fall of Man and is recorded in Genesis 3:1-6: "Indeed, has God said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?” 2 The woman said to the serpent, “From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; 3 but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.’ ” 4 The serpent said to the woman, “You surely will not die! 5 “For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6 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 desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate." I hope this helps, BradK |

4 | knowledge of good and evil | Gen 3:1 | Rowdy | 123327 | ||
Naturally I assume you're referring to Adam and Eve and I would have to conclude from the first two chapters that they DO NOT have such knowledge. I guess they could be compared to a small child before he has learned about right and wrong. We notice that God is on a very intimate, face-to-face basis of relationship with them, therefore there is no trace of sin in their lives prior to this point. Seem pretty straight forward to me. Is there any question in your mind about their condition? God bless. --Rowdy |
