Adam and Eve Sent Out from the Garden

1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which Yahweh God had made. And he said to the woman, “Indeed, has God said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?” 2 And the woman said to the serpent, “From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; 3 but from the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God said, ‘You shall not eat from it, and you shall not touch it, lest you die.’” 4 And the serpent said to the woman, “You surely will not die! 5 For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6 Then the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, so she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate. 7 And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings.

8 Then they heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God in the midst of the trees of the garden. 9 Yahweh God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” 10 And he said, “I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.” 11 And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” 12 And the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave to me from the tree, and I ate.” 13 Then Yahweh God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” And the woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” 14 And Yahweh God said to the serpent,

“Because you have done this, Cursed are you more than any of the cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you will go, And dust you will eat All the days of your life; 15 And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel.”

16 To the woman He said,

“I will greatly multiply Your pain and conception, In pain you will bear children; Your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you.”

17 Then to Adam He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat from it’;

Cursed is the ground because of you; In pain you will eat of it All the days of your life. 18 Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; And you will eat the plants of the field; 19 By the sweat of your face You will eat bread, Till you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return.”

20 Now the man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all the living. 21 Then Yahweh God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and He clothed them.

22 Then Yahweh God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us to know good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat and live forever”— 23 therefore Yahweh God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken. 24 So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life. — Genesis 3 | Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) Legacy Standard Bible Copyright ©2021 by The Lockman Foundation.

Hope Through the Curse

[gxxdnxises]

I started really reading the bible today. I believe in being grateful to the universe. I’ve tried to think of Christianity as something I believe in but mainly out of the fear of going to hell. but so far I’m still struggling. I think it may be real but I think it’s gross how much God punishes women in Genesis 3:16.

Genesis 3:16 NIV

“To the woman he said,

“I will make your pains in childbearing

very severe;

with painful labor you will give birth to children.

Your desire will be for your husband,

and he will rule over you.”

Even the spacing freaks me out. I don’t want to worship something that wants me to be ruled. I dislike being referred to as an inferior being from the moment I’m created. If God is all-knowing he should have seen how wrong this is,,, but that’s according to today’s standards. Why is God against equality? It doesn’t feel like something to worship.

Genesis 3:15 however also feels freakishly real.

Genesis‬ ‭3‬:‭15‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“And I will put enmity

between you and the woman,

and between your offspring and hers;

he will crush your head,

and you will strike his heel.”

It feels as though it refers to bickering and the disagreements within partners and children. It all sounds so real but I do not like it.

Don’t you just have to agree that God created and gave himself for our “sins”. Do I actually have to support him?

there is a sacred pause

in the inhale and silence

a lingering hallelujah

a fading amen

how are you anyway?

looking away for an answer

bitten by the words welling up

behind a throat

so this is what it means

to be heard and understood

'Ye shall be as gods'

What is up with that serpent in Genesis? The narrator tells us it is a wild animal like any other made by God, but "more crafty." And then it starts talking – and somehow it knows more about the Tree of Knowledge than God had revealed to Eve and Adam. "When you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil,” the serpent says.

The depiction in this early 16th century woodcut engraving by Lucas Cranach the Elder is appropriately enigmatic: a snake-tailed woman whispering in Eve's ear. The print is in the British Museum [CC BY-NC-SA 4.0]

[theexodvs]

Christ is King. Adam was also king, but he failed to exercise dominion over the serpent. Jesus has conquered the serpent, and all authority on Heaven and on Earth has been given to Him. He is enthroned at the right hand of the Father and will reign until His last enemy, death, is subdued.

Hosanna!

[tabernacleheart]

In the Garden of Eden, the devil urged Eve to eat the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden. When Eve objected that God told her she would die if she did, the Old Snake responded, “You will not die” (Genesis 3:1-4). In a certain sense, the devil is telling the truth; after all, after Eve eats the fruit she doesn’t immediately drop dead. But of course Satan’s half-truth conceals his [ultimate] lie, for he knew that by eating the fruit Eve will die— she will break her communion with God and be under the reign of sin and death.

[Satan's] ambiguous, partially-true [statements are] far more effective than an outright lie; [even today, such a half-truth spoken by those claiming religious authority] allows those who want to be deceived to claim a "Catholic covering" for their deception, and it fools the naive into letting [those false teachers] off the hook. [Because evil loves to twist and blur reality,] when dealing with the devil (or his minions) Catholics need to oppose half-truths and ambiguities with clear, direct, and fully-true statements... If we mitigate [God's] truth in any way, trying to defend [heretics & apostates] or giving [them] the “benefit of the doubt,” we simply fall for the trap designed by the devil himself and practiced to perfection by [those who prefer deceptions to reality].

“Your desire will be for your husband and he will rule over your life”

God cursed both the husband and the wife.

It doesn’t break or bend,

Because this longing never ends.

And all I crave is you.

Are you out there longing too?

I have been told, more than once, that I (cishet female) should be thanking the feminists in this world for alleviating the problems caused by the bad men in this world. Granted, they do have a point there.

But as a Christian, I see it this way: who is ultimately responsible for sin, in the first place? That's right. It was a woman. Furthermore, it was a woman that considered herself higher than both God and her husband. She was convinced that she should have the right to decide for herself (placing herself higher than God) and that she should have the right to tell her husband what to do (placing herself higher than her husband). These are the primary mindsets that I see in feminists.

Conclusion: feminism is, at its core, sinful.

At its best, it's just the feminists attempting to clean up the mess they made in the first place (which God already promised He will do, we don't need to). At its worst, it is yet another reason for people to completely reject God in an act of sheer rebellion (with the attitude of "I will do it MY way").

Old Words That Teach New Life

I teach church history as part of my profession. In doing so, I’ve discovered it to be exactly what my teachers described—a wonderful means of keeping the faith. Of the figures from our pasve helped me, Martin Luther stands at the top of the list, as he continually points me away from myself and onto Christ and his word of promise. Luther’s Lectures on Genesis[1], begun arguably in 1535, serve…

The Curious Upside Down Kingdom of God Revealed in the First Prophetic Utterance in the Bible

The imagery in Genesis 3:15 is confusing in light of Isaiah 53, but that is a clue to our understanding

In my last blog article, I focused on the way that Genesis 3:15 anticipates and foreshadows the coming of a Messiah, generally, and how it was specifically fulfilled in the virgin birth of Jesus. Not only that, but it introduces a thread in Scripture (the elevation of women) at the very beginning that runs through the entire Bible. That the Bible uniquely elevates the stature of women despite…

Church notes 10th December 2023

10th Luke 19:1 - 10 Luke 18:9 - 14

Zaccheaus Roman rule

Salvation

Zaccheaus

For us

Romans

They used puppet rulers whenever possible.

Therefore they favoured the existing power structure.

Therefore while Jesus was drawing large crowds Rome wasn't concerned, nor involved. However, the Jewish Leaders were concerned that if things got too far that Rome would intervene in a way that wouldn't end well for them.

John 11:41 - 50 That they would loose everything.

Zaccheus Roman Taxes

Land tax

Import and Export

Entering Judea via Jericho because Samaria was avoided.

The tax collectors had a reputation of cheating others.

Salvation vs 9 Repentance. The starting point. Sin

It is more than being naughty or disobedient.

There is more going on.

Genesis 3 Adam and Eve wanted to know more and to decide for themselves what was Good and Evil.

Sin

Removing God from the situation.

The parable The Pharisee was boasting to God about how good he was.

Repent Turning around. The tax collector knew he was in the wrong.

The starting point. Also the continuing point. We should always be calling upon Him,

Ezekiel 36:25 - 27

He comes into our heart and He works on it.

Zaccheaus A sense of right and wrong.

There is an objective right and wrong This is determined by God.

We are all sinners

We need to be in a relationship with God.
