Review
While reading the Act 2 - Rebellion in the Kingdom of the book Drama of Scripture. We find that Man who was created by God stood against Gods commandment, he rebel and act as per his own will. As it is mentioned in the book by the writer and I code it “the word rebellion did not occur anywhere in the chapter. To be sure, the term mutiny is used. But the central term that emerges is autonomy, defined as "choosing oneself as the source for determining what is right and wrong, rather than relying on God's word for direction".
The chapter of the book does emphasis that it is very important to understand the type of literature writing of Genesis to understand the core of the book. If we could not able to understand the true meaning of the Genesis then it would not be wrong that we could not able to understand the whole mission of God for the mankind and also for the world. So it is very important that we should understand that which type of literature writing it is.
Let us take a plot, there is a garden name Eden. Which is the only fertile land in the whole world, it is also mentioned that God himself planted that garden. Also God’s master

But I find that it would be more clear that if it is also mentioned that what is the nature of the sin, why it is called THE FALL OF MAN or REBELLION. I might be wrong but as serpent has motivated them to take a step other than God’s order. It is very important to mention that the act or motivation is not doing something on its own but the intentions are to be like God, Gen 3:5. You will be like God know good and evil. This act of man destroyed everything which God has planned. And it was there confirmed that Jesus has to die on the cross for the salvation of

    In the beginning of time, in a paradisal world of sustained perpetual bliss, man was unflawed, an “infallible” construct, created and contrived by and in the image of an omnipotent being. However, a malevolent serpent—an embodiment of mankind’s insatiable gravitation to depravity—tempted man into partaking the forbidden fruit, considered to be a manifestation of corruption’s scarlet allure. As soon as the first man and woman of creation partook in the fruit, the souls of humanity were mauled, defaced by new evil desires: avarice, lust, and self-servitude, for humanity was now plagued with “original sin”, a brand to mankind that doomed man to perish by the inexorable evils of corruption and sin. However, God made a covenant with man,…

    Adam and Eve were “free to eat from any tree in the garden; but [they] must not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil” (Genesis 2:16-17). In the beginning, they were completely fine with obeying these laws. However, just as Gene was enticed to hurt Finny, Adam and Eve were drawn to eat from the Forbidden Fruit. They were tempted by the devil in serpent form. The serpent informs Adam and Eve that God did not want them to eat the fruit because “when [they] eat from it [their] eyes will be open, and [they] will be like God, knowing good and evil” (Genesis 3:5).…

    Treason or Justified Rebellion? Are we traitors to the crown or are we justified men defending our rights and future? In our recent past, many happenings have unfolded to make us question our place in the English hierarchy but now we know that if we want to live with the rights of free men we must rebel against the oppressive governance that currently holds power. It is as Samuel West said, “the same principles which oblige us to submit to government do equally oblige us to resist tyranny” (West 1776). Men, think about your family in what fashion of future do you wish for your loved ones that they live under a government that will not give thought to their wishes or well-being.…

    Reasons for Colonial Revolt Against England Parents of newly adult children often try to continue parenting as they may have done prior to their child’s coming of age. The children, not wanting to displease their parents, may go along with it for a little while, silently resenting the rules and suggestions.

The Epic of Gilgamesh, Popol Vuh, and Genesis, like many creation stories, show similar themes that create a common lesson for the reader to learn from. There are rules, laws and commandments that the gods use to instruct man on how to live. When these commandments are broken, the gods impose punishments that show their authority over man. The punishment is not only given to the immediate offender, but to all of mankind.…

A primary theme of Milton 's rewriting of Genesis is, therefore, this aspect of free will demonstrated by Adam and Eve. Doing their free lead them to be disobedient to God.…

    According to author Michael McGerr, the argument of his work A Fierce Discontent: The Rise and Fall of the Progressive Movement in America, is “that progressivism created much of our contemporary political predicament” (xiv). While the author states that this is his purpose, his work seems to be more of a summary of the progressive era, devoting just a miniscule conclusion to connecting how progressive battles then led to the political situations of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. If one takes McGerr’s work as merely an analysis over the progressives and their movement instead of a political commentary about today, the book makes much more sense. The author clearly defines who the progressives were, why they did what they did, and how they were related to the Victorians before them. From there he details the main battles of the progressives: “to change other people; to end class conflict; to control big business; and to segregate society” (xv).…
