MODERN DAY CONVERSATION between
ADAM and EVE in the Garden of Eden.
Adam: "We should not have eaten the fruit of that tree!"
EVE "Uh, what tree are you talking about, Adam?"
ADAM "That tree over there in the middle of this garden, the
one God told us not to eat the fruit of it!"
EVE "Oh yeah, THAT tree, the one God said we would die if we
ate from it. Well that two legged snake told me not to get to
concerned about dying, because God wouldn't **** us. He just
said He would, bcause He didn't want us to be as smart as He
is. Hey! we ate and dead we 'aint, just as that snake said to
me, "You will not surly die" Adam that snake has known God
a longer then we have, and knows Him better then we do, so I
think we ought to listen when he tells us something!"
ADAM: "Yeah, well as you said 'Dead we 'aint' but I have noticed
that ever since we ate from that forbidden tree, you look a
lot different now then when God introduced you to me."
Eve: "Well I've been noticing you too look different when God
brought me to you then you do now. Hey, Adam, we started
looking different right after we ate the fruit of that tree down
there in the middle of the garden.
Adam: "You know Eve, you are right, and think I know why. 'Dead
we 'aint', but 'dying we are starting.' Before you listened to
that multi-colored snake and conned us into sampling of
that tree, unh what did God name it? the tree of good and
evil, we lost the shimmering light that surrounded our
bodies, and now we are unclouthed."
They stopped talking to each other and just looked at one another,
then Adam broke the silence and said:
"Eve you look different with out that shimmerng light covering you, but something about your new look kind of, uh, well is causing me to uh, well I don't really know how to explain it, but I feel like touching yo......"
Eve: "Yes Adam, I feel the same way about you, and it sort of excites
me when I feel like you touching me and me touching you".
Adam: "Yeah, I know what you mean but you know what? we need
to replace that light and cover our bodies with some thing. I
don't think it's healthy to be running around unclouthed like
we are.
Eve: "But what should we use to cover our selves? O I have an idea!
Let's sew some of these big fig leaves into gaments!"
So that's what they did, and when they were finished, Adam looked at Eve, and Eve looked a Adam; they both smild at each other and xpressed how beautiful each other looked. Then Adam
said all that sewing made him hungry, so Eve walked over to a fruit tree of which they were allowed to eat and tossed Adam a couple,
(you decide what she tossed him) but just as he as about to devour them, Adam heared God walking nearby, and instinctivly knew
God would not be pleased with them, and grabbed her hand and said,
"Quick Eve! we need a place to hide" and pulled her behind a big
Red Wood tree. God of course knew where they were hiding, being Omniscient, but He gave them an opportunity to confess their where-abouts. "ADAM! ADAM WHERE ARE YOU? I HAVE COME TO FELLOWSHIP WITH YOU! Adam and Eve. Why in the world are you two standing behind that tree?"
Adam: "Well thou Omnipotent One, I heard your voice calling me,
and I was afraid, because I was naked."
God: "Adam, you were naked because you ate of the fruit of the tree
I specifically commanded you not to eat, and your disobediance destroyed my righteousness that engulfed you covering your body."
Adam: "But.. hold on a minute! That woman you gave me, she was the disobediant one before me and she insisted I eat it too, but I only took a small sample of it."
God: "Woman, do you realize what you have done? Did not the man I gave you to, warn you about the conseqences of eating the fruit of that tree of good and evil? Now just look at yourselves, both of you have lost my light of righteousness and just as I told you, do not eat of that midle tree, lest you die. Now your nakedness is the first symptoms of death."
Eve: "But, but that two legged curly creature living in this beautiful garden you created, it conned me into trying a little of it. It said we wouldn't really die if we ate some of it"
God: "Serpent, because you went over my athority and lied to this lovely young lady, I'm cutting your legs out from under you and you are going to have to crawl around on your belly, eating the dust
of earth for the rest of your life"
In this Bible account of Adam and Eve and Lucifer the serpent, are many spiritual applicaions one can give.
1. It's the origin of the 'ol blame game; don't blame me, he's the one
that started it or said it. Adam blamed God and Eve.
a."That woman you gave me, she started it all."
b. Eve blamed the serpent "He beguiled me into eating it"
c. The serpent had only himself to blame.
2. Every one has to answer to God for them self - Romans 2: 6 God
will render to every man accoding to his deeds."
3. Adam and Eve blamed God and each other for their deeds of sin,
but they still had to pay a price individually for their own deeds
a. Gen. 3:14 -19 tells the price they each had to pay.
4. However in God's punisment, we see His Grace and Mercy
Vs 21 "And to Adam and his wife did the Lord God make coats
of skins and clothed them."
5. Turning to the New Testmt, Rom. 5:18-21 is a referene to wha
happened in the Garden of Eden.
What a wonderful God who reign and rules in the affairs of man kind.!
