True... True.. and like I always say, God created man (and woman), if he did not want them to eat from that tree, why didn't he just make humans that can't eat from tree's or somethin LOL. If I were smart/powerful/divine enough to make something living, and as complex as humans, I would have never let them be able to "do" bad things. So if I were God in the beginning, I would have done it the right way (I know, I am not as smart as God) Mickle  |

The following will show that the sin Adam and Eve were guilty of was the sin of disobedience unto God...1 Cor 15 1 For since by man(Adam) came death, by man (Christ born in the flesh) came also the resurrection of the dead (raised for eternal life) ..For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive...Romans 5:12 ..Wherefore, as by one man (Adam) sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned...God had told Adam..If you eat from the tree of good and evil,you shall die..He did eat of that tree which God had told him not to eat of..When he disobeyed an did eat, he did bring sin and death into the world to all mankind..He brought death (a separation from God) into this world..They would have lived forever in the garden in a perfect state.. God evicted them from the garden and blocked the tree of life..When God blocked this tree, Adam and Eve would now suffer a physical death due to their sin of disobediece..They could no longer eat of the tree of life. Therfore, their disobedience brought a physical death to all mankind... Gen 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man,(Adam) saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat.. 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...This shows a commandment God had given unto Adam and if Adam disobeyed then he shall surely die..God gave forth a coomandment and a punishment if Adam would disobey Him..What did God tell Adam not to do?...Not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.. Did Adam obey God or disobey Him? Read Gen 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden. 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. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die.. The *serpent* just called God a liar and Eve believed him.. For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil..When Adam and Eve disobeyed God's commandment,Adam(first man) brought sin into the world..Sin brings death.(the wages of sin is death)..As for the sin of having sex..Read Gen 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. God instituted the first marriage..He made Adam and Eve husband and wife...Read Matt 19:5 For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh. Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together,let not man put asunder..In a few verses down in the same passage, we will find that the subject is divorce and fornication..In Gen 18 God said to the man and woman " Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it,etc.. One can not multiply without having sex..God had intended for them to have sex and multiply before they disobeyed His commndment.. I hope this helps..It is late and I need to get to bed..((hug-zzzzzz
