Modern Day Eve Ever since the Garden of Eden, women have made up their mind that they can make their own decisions. This plague happened in the Garden of Eden, when the woman (Eve) was so easily persuaded by the serpent (Devil) yet the man (Adam) was so gullible to follow. Men possess a certain type of power that some women want in their life. In the memoir The Only Girl In The Car, Kathy Dobie fell into this category of a modern day Eve; she wanted to feel like she had power. The only way she…

I interviewed two of my co-workers (Dan and Jaclyn) and one person that volunteers in third through fifth grade ministry (Steve). I found it intriguing that none of the people I chose to interview subscribed completely to a literal Biblical Young Earth interpretation. I have summarized their answers below. On the question of length of day, Steve was in the 24 hour camp. His reason was that he believed the text was talking about the amount of light in a given period of time since on the first…

and spending time with family. There is a slight twist with the whole spending time with family part though. On my father’s side of the family most are avid outdoorsmen and women, and from this common characteristic sprung a new tradition. Christmas Eve ice fishing. This tradition may seem uncommon, but it has now become one of the most anticipated family activities each year for me. For those who live in Houston, or somewhere where it rarely gets below freezing, ice fishing may seem like a…

Adam and Eve, Judas, Apollo, Pan, Phthonus, and Jesus are all strongly alluded to throughout the book within the characters of Gene, Finny, Leper and Brinker. This will be strongly demonstrated through the following comparisons of Greek myths and biblical stories and, the events that surround the characters of A Separate Peace. The story of Adam and Eve is quite simple; God created a man named Adam and gave him a wife by taking one of Adam’s ribs to form her. God also gave Adam and Eve all the…

In the book of Genesis of the Hebrew Bible, when Adam and Eve were first in the Garden of Eden, they knew not of good or evil. Their God told them to not eat from a tree that would give them insight on what is lawful and what is not. As time passed they were eventually deceived by a serpent, and went against God and became enlightened with the matter of good and evil. This knowledge was not only something that changed everything in their lives for the worse, but it set them apart from their…

In the story of Creation and Fall from Genesis, the main characters of Adam and Eve gain wisdom through the realization of sin which Eve exposes by eating fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and Adam later uncovers by eating the same fruit that Eve tempts him with.

created the world and man. God promised man a partner and asked them to dominate over all the animals and live happily in the Eden Garden and in return asked them refrain from eating a fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. This covenant lasted till Adam and Eve were innocent, before their original sin. The Adamic Covenant is made after the fall of man. It begins with the Adam and Eve’s awareness of their sin (Gn.3:7). Scofield terms this as the ‘awakening of moral responsibility’ (Scofield). This…

“Lord of the Religion” In the novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding there is the use of religious symbols to support a deeper interpretation of the novel. First, the symbol of The Garden of Eden is represented in many ways. Second, the structure of the book is similar to the story of Jesus and his disciples. Last, throughout the entire story a character is met named Simon, who is Christ-like. He somewhat resembles the light on the island like Jesus resembles the light of the world.…
