1The snake was sneakier than any of the other wild animals that the Lord God had made (Bible Gateway, 1995). One day it came to the woman and asked, “Did God tell you not to eat fruit from any tree in the garden?” 2 The woman answered, “God said we could eat fruit from any tree in the garden, 3 except the one in the middle. He told us not to eat fruit from that tree or even to touch it. If we do, we will die.” 4 “No, you won’t!” the snake replied (Bible Gateway, 1995).
From the above, it is evident that sin was brought unto man, and thus one could form a theorem around the same scripture to provide a scapegoat for their action. However, the first couple was at liberty to carry out the endeavors although they had to heed to the first law (Bible

Their interpretation of this figurative language is that their contemplating move to approve the snake’s cunning words, and demeanor was the origin of sins (Bible Gateway, 1995). They have solidified the notion in this primeval event, in point of fact, it has been labeled the origin of sin. As religion has evolved with time and Protestants, have for generations passed on the biblical teachings that the two as the source of all sins. To compound this belief system, Genesis 3 verse 6 “Her husband was there with her, so she gave some to him, and he ate it too” illustrates that the action taken was in full awareness of the two. If one is to argue for the Bible Gateway scripture version, the two would have withheld from carrying out the action, and they would have had a chance for redemption (BibleGateway, 1995). If they had withheld back taken the time to ponder the cunning serpent words, they would have had delayed impulses that would have given room for another course of action to take place. In the same chapter verse 8, “they realized they were naked” illustrates harmonization for actions (Robinson, 2016). It shows that if one had at least withheld back, humanity would have had a chance for redemption. If one had carried and the other had withheld their acting, there is a possibility that they would have beseeched the Almighty God to consider forgiveness as an option. For the believers, there is a possibility that He would have reversed the action for he had created the two so that either would never live in

    The man’s “first instinct” after seeing the snake “was to let him go his way”, avoiding confrontation. This shows that the man initially did not want to do anything to the snake. However, the man’s intentions were changed when he realized “there were children, dogs, horses at the ranch” who could be harmed if he didn’t kill the snake. Furthermore, “men and women” were also in danger. The man felt as if it was his “duty” to protect, for the sake of those he cared about.…

    “Sin, Satan and the Snake” One can help when thinking about sin to go back the Genesis account. Genesis 3 takes an enormous and a very important role in the history and the understanding of the intrusion of sin. It lays in sequence the transgression and its consequence, which is constructed in two parts: part one brings to us the transgression, 3:1—7, and part two the chastisement, 3:8—24.7 Nevertheless, the concentration of this exposition will be on part one. Throughout the Scriptures one sees a tentative correlation between passages; some say that Ezek 28:11—19 may have some connection to that of Gen 3.8 One can say that modernist scholars have considered the accounts of the creation and the enticement to be folklore.…

    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).…

    The snake would lie in order to protect itself from harm. I also found it rather interesting when Paul Ekman stated that there are 3,000 facial expressions. When I think of facial expressions, I think of happy, sad, or angry. I would have never thought more than that existed. Overall, I found this radio segment very interesting and it allowed me to understand the art of lying and…
