I have a third possible explanation: although Eve was tempted and ate, when she offered some of the fruit, Adam could have refused and talked to God about it. God would have confirmed the consequences to Adam of Eve’s sin and offered Adam the option to die in her place. If Adam had agreed, Eve could have been restored. God could have resurrected Adam just like he did Jesus because Adam was without sin. That didn’t happen. Unfortunately, after Adam (who did not stop Eve before she ate because he did not know God well enough to realize God would NEVER deceive them) ate, it was THEN that their eyes were opened. Then they were both beyond the point of return. I base this possibility upon the reference to Jesus in the NT as “the last or second Adam” (I Cor 15:45-49). The Last Adam did what the First Adam failed to do and DID die for His bride, the Church and was Raised.
That makes a lot of sense
@@nicholasdimauro5324 nah Adam and Eve was made perfect and knew the consequences beforehand lol. If Adam didn’t eat most likely God would just replace Eve with another woman.
First off, Satan was not a serpent physically. The garden was beautiful and everything in it. Eve was not threatened or afraid during the conversation. It was after , when god curse Satan to crawl on his belly. The ground was a symbol of dirt and sin. He would forever dwell in darkness and sin would be all over him. Satan twisted the conversation with half truth. He still does it today.
This idea continues through the Bible to the very end. A woman who is Serpent's helper becomes a foolish woman or a strange woman, while the woman who is God's intended help for man is known as a wise woman who helps man find his way back to the Tree of Life (Pro 3:1,15,18; Pro 31:10). It's probably not a coincidence that woman was tempted with wisdom ("...and a tree to be desired to make one wise."), yet desire for more wisdom which is not in accordance with God's word often turns a wise one into a fool (Eze 28:2; Rom 1:22).
Yes! Thank you for sharing that. It never ceases to amaze me how themes run through the entire book. Super fascinating!
kjv Genesis 3:3 (3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.) hi,do you even consider this verse , this is the key of the fall of eve as the serpent heard what eve just said, eve lack of information, because in the midst of the garden there are 2 tree and the worst part is eve added the word neither shall ye touch it,eve doesn't define it well: paralel verse kjv genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Ur blessed keep teaching us ❤️🙏
This is awesome. GOD IS GOOD
Thank you.
This some interesting information.
Good Lord, there's so much misinformation here, both in the video and the comments below it. God told Adam about the 2 trees in the middle of the garden, right away. We don't know how long Adam was alive before God created Eve. The only reason we know they existed at all, is because God gave this information to Moses who wrote it down in what we call the Book of Genesis. God said he brought all the creatures he had made to Adam, and whatever Adam called them, that was their name. We have no idea how long that process took. It could have been years. At some point, God made the decision to make a mate for Adam; someone of his own kind. We don't know when that happened in the life of Adam. God didn't tell us that. We don't know what the conversation was between God and Adam when he introduced Eve to him, or how he introduced her to him. God didn't tell us that either. We don't know how long they lived together before the incident with the forbidden tree. We DO know that Eve knew it was forbidden, because the serpent asked her if God had really forbid them to eat of it, and she said yes and repeated what God had said. God did tell us that much. The point is there's a lot we haven't been told, and it's good to take that into account and be honest about it when teaching others.
I don't know why some people seem to have a hang-up about the serpent talking to them. It's no secret that animals have languages, and speak to one another. At that time, everything spoke the same language (it wasn't any language we have today) and they were able to communicate with one another. Ask anyone who owns a dog or cat, and they will tell you they DO communicate with you.
There's a lot about the relationship Adam and Eve had together that we don't know, but we can clearly see by the time we get to the incident with the forbidden tree, things don't seem to be going too well between them. Adam is standing there with Eve when the conversation between her and the serpent is happening, and he doesn't say a word. Adam knows what God said would happen if they even touch the forbidden fruit, or eat of it, and he's standing there watching his wife considering doing something he knows would kill her, and he says and does nothing; just watches. When Eve decides to actually reach out for the fruit, Adam doesn't try to stop her, he just stands there watching, apparently willing to watch her die. After they both disobey, and have begun experiencing the consequences, when God asks Adam if he had eaten the fruit he was commanded not to, not only does Adam blame Eve, but he really blames God; "The woman YOU gave me, gave me some and I ate of it." There's absolutely no hint of Adam being protective of his wife, or caring if she's there or not. In fact, he's telling God it's her fault and she should be the one to die. That pretty much tells us Adam was done with her by that point. There's a long story there, but I'm not going to go into it.
As for the serpent, you at least recognized it was used by satan, but you didn't consider why. Satan through the serpent was actively trying to get Eve to kill herself, basically a murder by suicide, but why? What grievance did he have with Eve? Satan is the first created son of God, Morning Star, whom we now know as lucifer. The sons of God are the angels, and they are all male; there aren't any female angels, contrary to what religions show. Morning Star was upset that God created Adam in the first place, and called him a son, elevating him to the same level of family that he and his brothers were. He began questioning God about this, but when God created Eve, that changed things dramatically because he gave her an ability he didn't give Morning Star or any of his brothers. Not only was Eve quite beautiful, but God gave her the ability to reproduce their own kind. This angered Morning Star greatly, and was the reason why he was able to convince a third of his brothers to join him in protest over this. The humans weren't impressive in any way; they were even made of dirt, so why was his father doing this?
This is where the grievance came from, that was behind satan using the serpent to try and tempt Eve to kill herself. He didn't expect Adam would join her; that was just a bonus. It was Eve he wanted. He wanted them both dead, but especially her because she could reproduce. As clever as he thought he was in doing this, he made a serious error. He thought they would die immediately, which Adam also clearly thought, and when Eve didn't appear to be dying or even having a bad reaction, Adam joined her instead of trusting his father God. For while God did say they would die, he did not say _when_ or how, and that was the error in satan's scheme. Instead of putting an immediate end to the humans, they wound up reproducing and filling the earth, which was the exact opposite of what satan wanted or thought would happen. He's been obsessed with defiling us ever since, constantly accusing us before God to show how stupid we are, and what a mistake it was to create us.
There's MUCH more to this story, but the essence of it is trust God and lean not on your own understanding. Obey what Jesus commanded us just before he left: "As I have loved you, love one another." That love is described in detail in 1st Corinthians Chapter 13, and that is in essence, the straight and narrow path.
Woah 😳. That’s a handful for sure. Lots to think about.
Lucifer wasn’t Satan… he was the fallen Babylonian king in Isaiah. Also, Eve couldn’t reproduce prior to eating the fruit. It wasn’t until God burdened her with childbirth as punishment for eating the fruit did she have the capacity to reproduce. So wouldn’t Satan deceiving her into eating the fruit defeat his purpose of preventing reproduction?
Thank you so much for this explanation I really learned from this.. God bless ❤🙏
You are welcome. May God bless YOU and fill you with his light and joy.@@elviravalenzuela4243
You just made it easy for me to understand man. Thanks for breaking everything down, including the small details..
I have always wondered why she was so far away from Adam that the serpent had an opportunity to talk to her alone? And why didnt Adam slap the fruit from her hand?
Because Adam was not fulfilling his responsibilities as the spiritual head of his union with Eve. He told god it wasn’t him, but the woman God gave him who did it first. That’s a sin nature right there
In modern urban language, what Adam did is called being a simp. Sympathetic to the woman's narrative.
He should have done exactly as you said but, knowing this was going against God's command he went with Eve, since she was already committed.
1, it wasn't satan, that's a label forced upon the serpent.
2, she wasn't tempted, she was able to be misled by herself by adding the addition of death by touching the fruit.
Thank u all very much
I listened to this earlier this morning and I couldn't stop thinking about it. The more I kept thinking about it, the more it just kept making more and more sense because of how many parallels it unravels. This makes so much sense. Thank you so much for this. 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Enmity, between Satan's seed, and Eve's seed, and Eve is the mother of all the Living
Hey Chris just a quick question that I’m having trouble answering.
Is the creation account meant to be Parnell to the flood account ?
The Egyptian had similar accounts just trying to figure this out.
Thxs so much
There are quite a number of parallels between the creation and flood accounts. The flood is a reversal of creation so to speak and afterwards a new creation appears out of the waters. See my video on the design of Gen 1-11.
Wow. This is amazing teaching. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Hey Chris cool video.. just wondering if you would do a video on the Trinity?.
Thx u
Hi Peter, depends what kind of video. Anything in particular you're thinking of?
I like how you explain things.. the Trinity is complex just thought you might have a way of bringing it out to help the common man understand.
Listen to your videos a lot lately.
Cheers Peter .
Glad you're enjoying the videos. I appreciate your suggestion regarding the trinity. As you may have noticed, my focus is more on the text than on topics/concepts/doctrines. If I discover something in the text that could help people understand the trinity better, I will make a video on that. Always willing to answer questions you might have on that topic, though, so feel free to write me either here or at the email address in the about section of the channel.
It's perhaps not quite as complex as you might think. If you think of God as flesh and blood, then it's difficult to comprehend because of the limitations of the flesh, but God is not flesh and blood, God is spirit. God is pure energy. The best analogy is to think of three flames. Each is distinct, each gives off light. If you combine the three together, they become one flame. If you move them apart again, then they are 3 separate flames, yet each is equal to the others and looks like the others. That's the easiest way to visualize the Triune God. The Father is the will of God, he makes the decisions; the Son is the doer, the Word of God, he does the will of the Father; the Spirit is the power of God, he is the power by which the Son does the will of the Father. They are in perfect unity with each other and can function as one, or independently. Though they are three persons and personalities, we know them collectively as God.@@peteryoung4974
Chris, which bible should be studied ?
King James
Adam was around for many years even hundreds before eve arrived. Naming all animals isn't done in a lunch break. So Adam had a trusting relationship with my Father.
Lucifere was told to bow to Adam. This enraged him. He would have been trying to kill Adam many times without success.
Eve was new and Lucifer would have taken advantage of this.
Adam in a panic Eve would die, learned the knowledge too. Most likely from Eve.
He hoped his long term relationship with my Father would save them both.
There is nothing wrong with being an assistant. The serpent chose Eve because it’s easier to manipulate an emotional brain than a logical one.
They had freewill, but it was inevitable for them to both fail in their given unique roles being human and innocent, opposed to the snake's skill and cunning. That they were innocent with no experience may not be an excuse, but I think that God's prime intention to place that tree there :) because He already knew, was to implement His plan to have Jesus Christ come as Saviour through the line of David. Through Jesus, God would be able to display to humans the full spectrum and more of His attributes of His nature and character in a greater measure of love grace, compassion, mercy, comfort, and all the host of different names and titles that Jesus has that describe Him. It's all to His Glory :) and that's where everything lines up and ends up as. His Glory. The Bible says God's ways and thoughts are higher than ours; we are called to walk by grace through faith. Thank you Jesus! and thank you so much for this video! God bless you! ꒰ঌ 🙏 ໒꒱
Because, Adam honored God word fearfully
But the innocence of eve ,failed and weakness of Adam, serpent used eve to Adam to fallen against God to destroy the plan of God for human kind....
Because the Man was not going to fall for Satan's lie! Amen! ✝️❤️✝️
God never told Eve not to eat from the tree and neither did Adam who was there the entire time Eve was talking to the snake
Yes, Eve was told or else she would have not sinned by eating the fruit.
Makes perfect sense 👌
Adam was lonely, so God created beautiful woman. I bet, Adam wasn't very interested about snake's opinion at the time. So Snake Snakerson focused on woman. Adam was there, Eve was not alone.
Adam was alone and not lonely
@@zippora1991
How do you know Adam wasn't lonely? Does Bible say he wasn't lonely?
If Adam wasn't lonely, why God even created Eve? For fun?
Women do not have seed. The seed of the woman referenced in genesis is generally accepted as referring to mankind or the children of God. Almost immediately, with the birth of Cain and Abel, we see Gods lineage of men and satans lineage of men. The sons of God lineage began with Adam to Seth. While Cain started the opposing line.
I like the concept of the woman being created and designed to fulfill and deliver mankind. And it does make sense that Satan would attack that specifically. I have some theories about this as well that I’d like to share one day.
Yea I have so much questions like why did satan tempt eve & what kind of knowledge was there even to know that eve couldn’t have just asked god herself ? Makes me wonder if satan was just jealous or had some sort of idea that his angels were abandoned for god to cater to the future of mankind and wanted to sabotage it out of jealousy ? Maybe he wanted to show god that the future of mankind is a bad idea and doomed because it will create further sin and sacrificed his well being to oppose this idea by taking sin apon his hand and yielding it against god. I strongly believe in the “opposites attract theory” because it is somewhat true the good always well knows the bad and the bad always well knows the good
I think it's a stretch to say that the Woman was created to be man's deliverer, this sounds like it comes from a very egalitarian perspective.
GOD CHOSE MARY
The sad thing is the Bible doesn't have explanations to many things written there.
Even Jesus spoke largely in parables and never explained them. He withhold many information even from his trusted disciples.
People just rely or hermeneutics and wild interpretations, ideas and opinions.
For example: Adam and Eve, Trinity, Jesus' true identity and his true gospel, where is suffering coming from, the true nature of Satan, our true identity, and many others.
The Bible is like a small pocket dictionary with very limited entries compared to the big, complete dictionary and world's encyclopedia combined.
It is also like a Rorschach Test that anyone can read and find something they like or imagine.
This conflicting (mis)interpretations created divisions, animosity, fighting and 47,000 denominations and thousands of non-denominations.
Christianity is like a glass vase broken into thousands of small pieces that is impossible to mend.
All of them just blindly embrace a faith of what they think and believe is right because of lack of explanations.
Why is Cain not in the genealogy of Adam?why is Cain considered the seed of the devil
He has the devil's attributes. The genealogy only needs to focus on one son of Adam - the son relevant to Jesus' genealogy.
The Bible just simply doesn’t say ,
Ezer Kenegdo, Gods plan for woman
That does not make any sense. Satan/the serpent wins.... The curse of god seems a little feeble, especially as the snake already crawled on his belly (but perhaps it had legsbefore?)
Interesting video. I always thought that the reason that the serpent tempted Eve was due to her being created as a helpmate for Adam, the snake could more easily convince them both to eat the fruit if he could get Eve's approval. Eve wanted what was best for her man and if all these things the serpent promised could do all of that, why not eat and share?
Because the Woman did the cooking 😂😂😂🍳🍳🍳🍳
interesting ... now that mankind knows about good and evil we should be able to discern evil as well even in its more subtle ways and strengthen the bond between men and women instead of creating animosity. The Satan is an intelligent creature but we should mature and make the Satan desperate since we forgive. Don't serve the snake by gossiping for example but instead show compassion. I think the Church should be teaching these values found in the Bible. After 40 (matured intellectually), Christians should absolutely avoid those sins.
Thanks for commenting. The irony is that after the fall mankind is much less able to clearly discern between good and evil than before. On our own we are completely helpless and unable to resist evil. It is only through Jesus and the Spirit dwelling in us that we are able to recognize and overcome evil.
@@MasterpieceBible could not agree more
She had strayed from Adam
Adam was with her 😂
Genesis 3:6 NIV
[6] When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.
@@ebirefunmilayoodunayo4211 the NIV Bible is put out by the Roman Catholic Church and is completely corrupted, altering the word of God,, the one who manifest himself to me in front of the moon,,,, repent, for the kingdom of Heaven is NIGH at hand,,, but I don't think you will see it because you live by the calendar of the devil and are of the world.
Eve was the primary target because she was weaker, most certainly alone, and had not herself received the divine command. Through the shape and likeness of a serpent, Satan tempted Eve, and by her, tempted Adam as well. In order to secure success, Satan sends temptations by hands we do not suspect, and by those that have the most influence upon us.
I agree with your theory & analysis
@@wiltuhoward8164 the Bible states the tree was desirable to the eyes of Eve and Satan used that against her and yes she was weaker lol
The Bible says “and Adam was with her.”
Why was the serpent allowed in the garden in the first place? I thought Eden was like heaven on earth…
The serpent itself was one of the animals in the garden. Satan used it for his purposes and was allowed to do so in order to test the loyalty and love of human beings. Would they trust God even though they had the opportunity to disobey him?
@@MasterpieceBible a talking animal? I find that hard to believe. So essentially God uses Satan?
Good point. What I should have said was: God used the tree. Satan was not necessary for the test. Humans could have eaten from the tree and disobeyed God simply because they were created as beings with a free will without Satan doing anything. As for talking animals: what about Balaam's donkey?
@@MasterpieceBible well I personally don’t think a donkey can talk, my question is if an all knowing God knows your heart then why purposely test someone. That’s like if your married and your wife has vowed to love you and has shown no reason to doubt that but I keep testing her just to be sure, that’s not genuine love; that’s jealous love
With all that being said, I really do enjoy your videos but personally struggle with the morality of some of the stories, it’s the journey I’m on.
@@wtpiep82 in heaven sin will not be possible. So this existence is the demonstration of what sins terrible cost looks and feels like (for us to know and experience good and evil as we chose).
Every story after Eden is really mankind trying to do life without God, with the wrong gods, or inconsistently with the Lord. Meanwhile all creation and heaven is witnessing it like a courtroom and evidence being presented. We see time and time again the futility and death of any level of godless life, so that those who agree that evil is evil, that we cannot be truly good without the Lord, and God loves us as displayed in the name, character, and work of Jesus will no longer experience any evil or death in heaven. We'll be free, forever.
All other avenues beside Jesus are being exhausted and shone worthless, that He is worthy of all the allegiance and obedience, love and devotion that the Bible says He deserves. That He should've been trusted in Eden, because His great love gave life and goodness as well as freewill (it isn't love to force someone to love you) and all this goodness should be enjoyed within His boundaries - because He loves us.
The protection was in the commandment not to eat, allowing freewill and logical thinking, and outpouring His goodness into all creation so reasonable creatures would trust their wonderful creator and rely on His word.
Sorry for the rambling.
Still makes no sense.
They were both punished for listening to the serpent.
Hey Chris I’m kinda new and I know I asked a lot of crazy questions but is Genesis 3:22-24 talking about just Adam or is Eve included.
I know it mentions man being sent out to cultivate the soil where he came from.
If that’s the case where does Eve go it seems like she can’t get back into the garden?.
Thxs for answering.
The context suggests that Eve is included. The rest of the narrative makes it clear that they belong together and that they both sinned. There is no indication that the woman remained behind by herself. To the contrary, at the beginning of chapter 4 she is with the man outside of the garden. I believe one of the reasons vv 22-24 focus on man is because they are intended to be the counterpart of the beginning of the narrative in 2:4ff where man is placed in the garden. The entire narrative is about man gaining and losing the garden.
They were both pushed out of the Garden and not allowed back in. Since Eve was literally the mother of all humanity, she was perfect biologically. I believe she had a LOT of children, both male and female. She probably got pregnant very soon after they were out of the Garden, and while she's being a mother and taking care of babies and children, Adam has to be the one bringing in the food. As soon as the first boys (Cain and Abel) got old enough to help Adam, they were out working too, which is why Cain is a farmer like his father, and Abel is a shepherd and works with animals (probably sheep mostly).
We're not told much about them or their lives, either in the Garden or outside of it afterward. God obviously gave them the knowledge they would need to survive, i.e. how to cultivate and grow food, how to deliver a baby, sever and tie off the umbilical cord, etc., but for some reason He chose not to give us hardly any of their story. Considering how much went on in the pre-flood world, God hasn't told us hardly any of it. He has his reasons, whatever they are. Probably good ones, and it would be wise to trust him on that.
Adam and Eve chose to disobey because of the temptation of the serpent who said it was the knowledge of good and evil that God didn't want them to have. We should learn from that and not place the pursuit of that knowledge above seeking and trusting God. If there's a lesson to learn there, that's certainly one of them.
Adam named all the animals.
The snake he never named.
So Adam would of known.
So the nature of snake dwell in man (human nature ; the flesh ) sin reign.
Thats why the sperm of men looks like a serpent?
That's why Yeshua had to be born from a virgin. The one who would bruise the head of the snake.
That's why Yeshua told Nicodemus in John 3 .
Ye must be reborn again
👎While I myself am happy with the interpretation that behind the serpent was Satan, it is not what Genesis actually says -- and we should not give currency to an inaccurate cliche. Click-bait title. 👎
Man was punished for listening to the woman!
man wasn`t punished for listening rather for choosing to indulge in the woman`s suggestion WHEN GOD HAD SPECIFICALLY DENIED IT . For a moment , the man forgot his priorities are set first to God`s word (and thus God himself) and formed an idol of the woman instead of telling her off for doing such.
@@shadow-xy8zn Eve was deceived and the word says re: Adam because you listen to the woman you shall be cursed to work the soil. Also take note God didn’t split the two up. They sinned together, they had to work it out together. God didn’t remove either one of them!
Because Satan never felt threatened of his power....until woman was created
A woman's feminism holds more power than anything in the universe
That why god HAD to curse eve that her husband will rule over her
This is why the bible says NOTHING is worser than an evil woman
Where in the Bible does it say nothing is worse than an evil woman ? Cause I believe it. Please do not deceive me
I believe it’s a lie. Adam ate the apple and blamed it on the woman!
How? Read it again he wasn't even their when she was tempted and sin she sinned 1st now let's not twist the word of God let's becareful and why didn't Adam sin before she was their? Because he obeyed God
