Bible Question: How was theocracy established in the Garden of Eden? |
Bible Answer: Hi Jashon2007, Gen 2:16 The LORD God commanded the man, saying, "From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; Gen 2:17 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." God demonstrated His rulership over the man by giving His command. God allowed the man a certain freedom of movement, but the rules, the consequences, everything was part of God's established order. So to answer your question, I would say that God established theocracy by creation a creation, and a people that are less than He is, and are subject to His ways. I hope this helps! Love in Christ, Mark |
