If God wanted to save us, why would He make us miserable? Why wouldn’t the punishments be rehabilitative? The thing is, they actually were. Our work likely produces little fruit in the terms of material needs.īut wait. It could be working at the office long hours for little pay. This is part of it! The field man must till isn’t just a field. It is ok if a woman wants to be a housewife but not ok for a man to be a househusband according to the cultural norms. What if a man wants to be a stay at home dad while the wife works? He is criticized severely for being a deadbeat. Does that just apply for farmers? Ever notice that many married women want to be in the workplace, so they can support themselves if they leave their husbands? She is praised as being brave and standing up for equality. Men were cursed to have to labor to till the Earth for food. They cry for equality, while simultaneously hating and making men want to “pay.” They will even kill their own unborn children to assert their equality with and/or superiority over men. Women have the tendency now to want to abandon their motherly vocation and try to be a father instead. We have seen that occur today with the abortion lobby and the 3rd wave feminist movement. ![]() Woman’s labor pains were increased, and they were cursed to always desire the power of her husband. But, you will still feel the effects of your actions. I will forgive you if you repent, and I will save you. Because of this, God extended His mercy to us. As we know, Adam and Eve sinned because of the serpent’s lies. He had already made his decision to go against God. The serpent was an outside force of evil. There is a key player we haven’t mentioned yet. They broke the fast, and all hell broke loose. That fruit poisoned and corrupted Adam and Eve. However, it was the action which was the real fruit – which in this case was the fruit of the experiential knowledge of evil. In fact, I think the only reason it had that name was not because the fruit had any magic properties. It is my opinion that God wouldn’t have kept that tree off limits. Man would have gained experience by choosing good over evil, and in a spiritual way, would have partaken of it. Upon the successful completion, they would know, by experience, good and evil. A rule He had to communicate towards man, since it wasn’t something covered in the natural law. A fast, in proper understanding, is abstaining from something that isn’t inherently sinful. In order to test man, God used one of His good creations, the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, to test them. Taking murder as an example, he not only knew it was wrong, but felt 0 inclination to commit that sin. When I was younger, I used to think that to not eat the fruit was the ONLY rule in the garden. God, in His infinite wisdom, decided to create man and woman and allow them to freely choose Him or reject Him with one simple commandment. They stood to gain something at the point of their creation. They didn’t know obedience by experience. So how were they imperfect? Here is my answer: Adam and Eve had knowledge of Good and Evil, or rather theoretical knowledge. ![]() At the moment of creation, they hadn’t done anything wrong. All the answers were right therefore, nothing can be improved upon.īut what about Adam and Eve? They were sinless. A 100% test score usually indicates perfection (depending on the test) because all the answers circled were correct. Perfect means that there is no room for improvement. But what if I told you that Adam and Eve weren’t perfect when God created them? Impeccable? Yes. Ok, I know that we don’t know what kind of fruit was on that tree… but it is irrelevant. ![]()
