AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more crafty (subtle, skilled in deceit) than any living creature of the field which the LORD God had made. And the serpent (Satan) said to the woman, "Can it really be that God has said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'?" [Rev 12:9-11] |
Subject: Why did Eve orginally leave the garden? |
Bible Note: Dear Emmaus, I don't think that speculation is necessarily wrong when pondering the deep things of God. It may be a means by which The Holy Spirit leads to the truth. But, caution should be exercised lest we drift from from the foundation laid by the Apostles. The Word is our anchor and as such it keeps us from the rocky shoals of heresy. "Would you care to speculate on why Adam and Eve failed to obey the command to "be fruitful and multiply" until after they were evicted from the Garden and what that may imply?" I'll bite! (bad pun) :-( Well...It might be that Eve simply had not concieved before the fall. I'm not even sure that "Be fruitfull and multiply..." was a command. Perhaps it was a blessing which God had pronounced over them (?). "Thou shalt" is conspicuous by it's absence. As old Artie Johnson used to say....Veeery intersesting. Grace and Peace, John Reformed |
