Bible Question:
iv just been reading a little and I dont fully understand the sin in the garden has anyonre took this information back to the orginal text. I dont know if its just me but im pretty sure its more to it than a apple which is not mentioned or a piece of fruit |
Bible Answer: Shalom EL# The sin was several-fold: 1 - Gen. 1:16-17 God told Adam that he could eat of every tree in the Garden including the Tree of Life but not from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. We must assume that Adam told this to Eve, 2 - but Eve choose to add to the commandment as well. Sin here was disobedience - Eve took of the fruit of the tree. 3 - Gen. 3:4-5 Satan brings doubt to the truth of God's word. Sin here is unbelief. Eve had stated they would die if they even touched the fruit of the tree. She had to touch it to eat and she didn't die, so she ate. She didn't die then either (or so she thought) so she gave to her husband. Well, that's an ABC of it. Others here on the forum will surely give you other details. But this is a start. :-) Cheri |
