Let us seek and find the truth together in this The Story of Adam and Eve in the Bible, shall we?

Who Are Adam and Eve Bible Study
Adam and Eve Bible Story Warning

Welcome back to Daily Bread! Today we're going to talk about Adam and Eve. Most people know that Adam and Eve were the first man and woman created by God. Adam and Eve made choices that affect us today. As you recall, from the Creation study, God created man on the sixth day out of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Note: It doesn't say anything about a virus that progressed into a fish that eventually turned into a chameleon that turned into a chimpanzee that turned into a human which builds skyscrapers and space craft and travels in space. That's all cute and all but let's be real. Which theory is really harder to swallow?

Now, God planted a garden in Eden and He put the man called Adam there. And it was beautiful. Imagine it, pure, the first of everything that God made in it, so clean and perfect. God told the man to take care of it. And God said:

Then God thought it wasn't good for man to be alone, so He made a help mate for him. God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and He took one of his ribs and then closed Adam's flesh. And from that rib, God made a woman called Eve and brought her to the man. So, a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall cling to his wife and they shall be one flesh.

Let's take a second now, for a little insight about the all too well known serpent. The devil, also known as satan was an angel of God. He was one of the most beautiful angels in heaven. He became jealous of God and wants to be God, but he knows that he cannot be all good, so instead, he is all bad. He competes with God to win people's souls by trying to get them to do bad things and join him. He will try anything to get you to do what he wants. He has many faces and many names. In the story of Adam and Eve, satan goes inside the serpent and talks to Eve.

Now, the serpent (satan in disguise) was trickier than any other beast in the garden and he asked Eve if God truly said not to eat from any tree of the garden. Eve told the serpent that they could eat of any tree except the tree in the middle of the garden, and not to even touch it or else they would die. To this, the serpent replies, You will not die! God knows that the day you eat from that tree your eyes will be opened, and you'll be like gods, knowing good and evil and will live forever.

When Eve heard this, she took the fruit from the tree and ate it and then gave some to Adam. Note that it does not indicate what type of fruit it was, just that it was from the Tree of knowledge of Good and evil. That means if Adam and Eve eat from this Tree they will know the difference between good and evil. It was a trick of satan to have them and their offspring (us) punishable for sin.

Well, their eyes were opened all right. And they realized that they were naked, so they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings. Then they heard God walking in the garden, so they hid themselves in the trees. And God called to Adam ... Adam shamefully answered, I heard your voice, and I was afraid because I was naked and I hid myself.

Who told you that you were naked? God asked. Have you eaten from the tree that I told you not to eat from? And Adam said, The woman who you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree and I ate it. And God said to Eve, What have you done? And the woman said, The serpent tricked me and I did eat.

And the Lord said to the serpent, Because you did this, you are cursed above all beasts of the field, and you will crawl on your belly from now on and eat dust all your days. I will put hate between you and the woman and between your offspring and hers, it shall kick your head and you shall bite his heel.

And the Lord said to the woman, I will make your pain great in bearing children and your husband shall rule over you. Now, this I'm sure makes a lot of women want a different interpretation, but people, there simply is no other way to interpret it. God said the husband will be above the wife.

And the Lord said to Adam, because you listened to the woman and disobeyed me, you shall work hard all your days instead of the Earth producing at will.

Then God said to the Holy Spirit, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life he will live for ever: so God sent them out of the garden of Eden to till the ground that he was made out of. God set angels with a flaming sword at the east of the garden to protect the tree of life.

To sum it all up, this is what is known as the "original sin." Mankind, all being descendants of Adam and Eve have inherited it.
