Gen 1-3

The day has come.

Genisis 1-3

We've all heard the story. God makes the night, day, light, earth, water, animals, etc. What struck me is that I've never really paid too much attention to the origin of the man-woman relationship or the Adam-Eve story other than the cursory side of it.

So God makes MAN, both male and female at the same time or should I say that he creates the concept of male/female at the same time in Gen 1:27. More specifically he creates woman out of the rib in Gen 2:7, but truly male/female were all "realized" before he phyically made either. MAN is both genders and all people, not male or female.

The Adam and Eve story is interesting to say the least. I guess Adam just believes whatever Eve says and eats whatever she gives him. Interesting. Seems as though if God TOLD you not to eat it, that he would at least checked what he was eating. Maybe he was more interested in farming or something than paying attention to what he was eating. Is that prophetic or what to many husband/wife relationships of today just substitute farming for tv/sports/internet/whatever??

Gen 3:10 - hiding from God - probably not the best idea.

Gen 3:14 - I never knew that before this curse, serpent were likely vertical creatures as opposed to horizontal.

Take Away:

Man had it all and just idly sat by. The very FIRST temptation cursed MAN for eternity and we are still paying for it. Initial sin is in us all and we are pre-disposed to sin because of it. If only Adam would have stepped forward and said something beforehand, maybe we would all still be sin-free living in that Garden.
