The New Revised Standard Version of the Bible contains the book of Genesis where the creation story of Adam and Eve is told.

there are ones some that are on the other side of the spectrum like death, unfaithfulness, and alienation. Alienation is a key theme in Genesis and continues throughout the Old Testament. First found in Genesis, alienation started in the Garden of Eden and affects man’s relationship with God, the garden, the people, and the land. Genesis, the first book of the Bible, begins with God’s amazing creation of the world. The first two chapters are about God’s detailed creation of light, animals,…

Though the discovery of a westward route to Asia had not been achieved, European explorers made the sagacious decision to capitalize on their alternative findings – the North and South American continents. Settlements within these wilderness lands offered plenty of commercial and political benefits which would eventually have historical ramifications on the world order. Investment into colonization would therefore allow participating European polities to expand their economies and remain…
That’s what happened in the garden of Eden. But prior to this in-cident occurring Lucifer, was expelled or as we like to say kicked out of heaven because he wanted to be God. He was created by God and he wanted to be God to be worshipped as God was being worshipped by the angels he had created. But God is God and he will not share his glory with another. Earth became corrupt because of the pronouncement of God upon it. Man would now have to live by the sweat of his brow. No longer could he walk…
Said claims the boundaries are “arbitrarily drawn” by delineating his abstract notion of imaginative geography which originated from nature of humanity. In concerning this imaginary space “some distinctive objects are made by the mind, and that these objects, while appearing to exist objectively, have only a fictional reality,” in exemplification “[a] group of people living on a few acres of land will set up boundaries between their land and its immediate surroundings and territory beyond,…
Very true. But this evil finds its source in the Serpent from the Garden of Eden, on through to the days of Noah and from Noah to an evil line that passed from his son Ham to his offspring, the Canaanites. I believe it’s this kind of wickedness that explains the evil we see presently in the Middle East. ISIS is known for kidnapping ten-year-old girls as sex slaves. They rape them in a kind of religious ceremony where a man prays before he…

The fall of man occurred due to temptation that Eve fell into inside the Garden of Eden. Although there were certain rules put in place and Eve ultimately knew what she should and should not do and temptation became too strong for her and she made a deliberate choice to pick an apple and share it with her husband Adam. Throughout my time in church and numerous sermons preached by Pastors I have formed an image in my head of the moment the fall of man occurred. As I have grown up I have come to…
