Eve

lights without worrying that your ladder is going to slip on the ice. In the South, it seems to be expected that macaroni and cheese will be served at every holiday meal. Snot doesn’t freeze in your nose while walking from the car to church on Christmas Eve. If you want to see snow, you can just drive a couple of hours to the mountains! And then head home to warmer weather a few days later when you are sick of it! Parades! I love how many Christmas parades there are in Charleston. There’s even…

a tyrant, though they acknowledge God will “of his kingdom lose no part / by our revolt” (Milton 325-326). In order to retaliate against God, the demons decide to destroy God’s new creations: humanity (Milton 362-370). When Satan tempts Adam and Eve into using their free will foolishly, he assumes he has won a great victory. In the other hand, God already has a plan in place for the salvation of humanity. As a result, God’s knowledge and power do not rely on his ability to control humanity’s…

rap. Pride. Pride was the first sin committed since the beginning of time. In the bible, it says that because of Lucifer’s lust for power God forced him down to Earth to rule in his very own kingdom, which is Hell. Because of this, he caused Adam and Eve to commit the very first sin done by man. Therefore, pride became the root cause of all the sins we commit and will commit in the future. But can pride only be looked at negatively? No. In fact, I think that just because pride has been labeled a…

How does Genesis 1-11 inform our Christian worldview? The first eleven chapters of Genesis begin with the Creation account, from then we go to the Garden of Eden and the first sin, which leads to the fall of man. From there we go from Adam to Noah, the wrath of God over the wickedness of man, the flood, which leads to the covenant of the rainbow, the Tower of Babel and the genealogy of Abram’s family. These first chapters are the basis of the rest of the Christian worldview, in…

spot the best wire reindeer, Santa impersonators and nativity scenes in town is a highlight. 8. Sales Geelong at Christmastime is madness, especially when the sales start early December. For those of us who lack in the planning department, Christmas Eve is wonderful chaos as we strive to find the cheapest Apple gadget on offer, and race to grab it a la Arnold Schwarzenegger in Jingle All The Way. 9. All the carols Hark the Herald Angels Sing? Jingle Bells? Silent Night? You’ll be hearing every…

Hieronymus was 15th century Dutch painter. The artist showed the Pope art work of painter “Garden of Earthly Delights.” It was a triptych, the first exhibited Adam and Eve in the panel, in the center panel there was a landscape, while in the third panel, there is an image of hell. Leonardo said “As a child I didn’t quite understand what it all meant, but through my child’s eyes it represented a planet, the utopia we had…

with a woman who unknowingly, embodies the essence of evil. Similarly biblical Adam is placed on Earth where he is forbidden to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil: he remains oblivious to the evil of the world. In the story of Adam and Eve, Adam is set out in the world naked, oblivious to everything that surrounds him. Similarly, Steinbeck’s Adam, maintains a naivety that blinds him from evil in human life. The naivety and oblivion of the character cannot only be linked to the Bible…

this theological idea of cosmic temple or who has supported it. Based on my original understanding of these two chapters, Lints suggests that Adam and Eve were not the first humans on Earth. After further discussion and looking more in depth at the context around this section I instead gather that he is suggesting that the account of Adam and Eve and the details of the first seven days of creation should be viewed as a separate encounter. Either separate events as if there is a space of time in…

that everything was created by God in the matter of 7 days. God had created a sustainable environment called the garden of Eden. Adam (the first human) was to be in command of everything on the earth, including the animals, but none where killed until Eve (the wife of Adam) committed the first sin. They were punished for what they did and banished from the Garden of Eden and they were basically released into the world. The difference is clear, but in all honestly they both know that nature is an…

As long as Adam and Eve obeyed God’s command he provided freely their sources for life. They were connected with God and had fellowship with him. When they disobeyed God and sinned their source of provisions were cut off and they had to fend for themselves tilling the ground to sustain life. Spiritual death occurred immediately they were separated from God and connected to the earth for dependency. Their disobedience brought about physical and spiritual death for all mankind, we are all born…
