Genesis chapter three uses the allegorical story of Adam and Eve’s original sin to describe the process of humans maturing into adulthood. Like children, Adam and Eve begin the chapter under the ruling of a parental role (God); Eve’s act of taking the fruit becomes a metaphor for the desire for freedom children develop as they grow.

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…

since many people do not agree that the Old Testament is still applicable to today. In the beginning, God spoke directly to Adam and commissioned him as the worker to bring home the food for him and his family, as God speaks directly to him and says “By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread” (English Standard Version, Genesis 3:19).

(214) As he reminds Eve "despairing, seeks to work us woe and shame" (253); extremely conscious of what could happen. While Adam continues giving forth order. Eve's human authority and her responsibility to comply is underestimated by her already "by thee infomd I learne" what could happen when she over hears "as…

In 1787 a much smaller percentage of people were educated, there were way fewer people living in the country, and people were very concerned with the president being elected by “smart” people.
