Bible Note: Remember God not only told us how he created man (in Gods image of course) but also WHAT he created man with (dust of the earth)a study of the word of God tells us that dust was contaminated from the begining with sin and death. When God threw satan out of heaven and to the earth sin and death came with him. We find out in Job that satan was IN the earth not just on it, sin and death were IN the earth that God created man from. Sin and death where Jesus went down IN for 3 days! Now back in Gen 2 we find that man was already under the curse BEFORE man ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, man was acting already acording to the curse but until he ate from the tree and gained knowledge of good and evil man did not realize it. After eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil God REVEALED (gave them knowledge) the curse to man not placed it on man. |
