- Now this verse is quite interesting because it is not only the fact it was forbidden for them to eat the fruit but they could not touch it !

- God was the creator and he would not tolerate any discussion of his authority!

- Man could do everything except one!

- THE PRICE FOR IT: DEATH!

- Since then the devil and man have discussed God’s authority!

- When Jesus comes back as a warrior, he will put an end to this discussion!

- Then no one will be authorized to put in question God’s authority!

- Well, only one more time!

- But that’s another story!

4) But for the devil it was not sufficient!

- He accuses God of being a liar!

- NO YOU WON’T DIE!

- But they died!

- And it has not changed!

- We still hear the same message from religion!

- NO YOU WON’T DIE!

- BUT IT DOES NOT COME FROM GOD!

- GOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN CLEAR!

- But for the devil it wasn’ t sufficient!

- He wanted Eve to believe she could become like God!

- And it is not different today!

- The devil tries to make man believe he can be like God!

- But when we look at our poor human society, we are only away from God and in big troubles and we are looking for more and more big troubles!

- MAN NEVER UNDERSTANDS!

5) Then Eve uses her free will:

- She starts looking at the fruit!

- As something good to eat!

- As something good to see!

- As something desirable to get wisdom or to decide by herself and go away from God!

- It’s a process!

- It takes time!

- It must reach maturity!

- It is the same way when we know something is wrong!

- But finally we decide to do it!

- And finally she eats the fruit!

6) And the best if I can say is for the end:

- She gives it to Adam!

- And he eats it!

- He wouldn’t have eaten it otherwise!

- NO WAY!

- He didn’t want to lose her!

- He could have said NO!

- And God would have provided!

- Remember Abraham and the sacrifice of his only son!

1) and 3) are messages from the same person !

3) is connected to :

- Adam chose his wife Eve instead of God !

- Yes, I say it again, Adam wouldn’t have eaten the fruit if Eve hadn’t given it to him or better said if she hadn’t eaten it !

- In fact, he didn’t want to lose her !

- It proves the strong connection he had with her !

- It means she was perfectly adapted to him !

- She was part of him !

- But by acting this way, he cut himself from God !

- Of course, it’s free will !

- Of course, mankind is paying for his choice !

- In the Bible, we have some examples, not many, but some examples, who stayed faithful to God !

- There are only two ways!

- And it is always a question of choice!

I am waiting for this time when no man will be authorized to discuss God’s authority because I am fed up with leadership of man!

- If man is the leader of human society, it can only leads to destruction!

The natural and then the spiritual

“Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural;

and afterward that which is spiritual.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:46‬ ‭

the natural creation the earthy

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:1-4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

but then this would happen spiritually to creation darkness would come but the lords light would later rise again and be seen upon the people

“For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: ( this would be the problem )

(to solve that issue this would happen later )

but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭60:2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

So you have a point where creation became once again where darkness covered the earth this time. NOt a natural darkness but a spiritual darkness by sin and mans wickedness on the earth

“For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge

. I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭4:22-25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

and so Into this spiritual darkness over creation again once more God spoke the spiritual light forth by his word

The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭9:2, 6-8‬ ‭

And then his word was fulfilled

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth.”
‭‭John‬ ‭1:14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

and the true spiritual light of the world began to shine

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭8:12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”
‭‭John‬ ‭1:1-5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

and he is dividing the darkness from the true light

“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”
‭‭John‬ ‭3:19-21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

To summarize when we hear and believe the gospel this is happening

“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

which is causing this to happen

“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭3:18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

ultimately fulfilling this

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:26‬ ‭KJV‬‬

In tbe new testsment it sounds like this

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:28-29‬ ‭

and we know

Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: for by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: and he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; and, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1:15-20‬

The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭9:2, 6-8‬ ‭

And then his word was fulfilled

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth.”
‭‭John‬ ‭1:14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

and the true spiritual light of the world began to shine

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭8:12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”
‭‭John‬ ‭1:1-5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

and he is dividing the darkness from the true light

“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”
‭‭John‬ ‭3:19-21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

To summarize when we hear and believe the gospel this is happening

“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

which is causing this to happen

“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭3:18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

ultimately fulfilling this

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:26‬ ‭KJV‬‬

In tbe new testsment it sounds like this

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:28-29‬ ‭

and we know

Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: for by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: and he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; and, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1:15-20‬
- My question: only hear and believe? That's it?

- A second person participated!

- His first message is:

If you look higher for the answers we can know why Adam and Eve were not ashamed before God.

Because they were unaware of being naked. Then they became aware, and were afraid.


Genesis 2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Genesis 3:10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

And it is fearful to fall into the hands of God.

So through Christ coming to earth ( which the antichrist spirit denies and does not confess) we can abide in Christ, so when He appears the second time, we can have confidence this time and not be ashamed before Him.

Hebrews 10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

1 John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.


Now we no longer recognise the earthly, ( house) we look for the testified house made without hands in the heavens, and desire to be clothed with that house ( the church which is Jesus Christ the chief corner stone. Ephesians 2:20.) and if we are clothed with Christ, we shall not be found naked ( as Adam was in his shame) for mortality to be transformed into eternal life, which is Jesus Christ.

That is why the final chapters of the bible tell us to be counselled of God and then to not hear man ( the many false prophets) and to buy the gold tried in the fire, which is the faith of Jesus Christ who came to baptize with fire, because that pure faith of His is the white raiment to cloth us so we do not have shame of nakedness appearing, which we only can recognise when eyesalve from Gods counsel gives us sight to see.

2 Corinthians 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.

Revelation 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

The chronology of Genesis is gorgeous and especially the circular time span from the birth of Adam in Genesis 1 to the first drop of rain in Noah's flood of Genesis 7 v11.

The clue for a more perceptive Christian is the life span of Enoch compared to the other Patriarchs as it hints at the structure of the genealogy and its purpose within the Hebrew work.
Joeseph Campbell.......wow.......He embraced Catholicism at the end. Don't recall where recorded but quite certain.

29) My answer:

- Animals have always been naked!

- In human history, we find tribes who were naked!

- It wasn’t a problem for them!

- It is a problem in our society because of hypersexualization!

- In the same way, God’s authority on man was normal for Adam and Eve!

- But because of the devil they rejected it!

- And they started to be afraid!

- But they lost their connection to God!!!!!

- It is like committing suicide!

- Cutting oneself from the source of absolute knowledge and wisdom is such a loss!

That is why we have an upgraded understanding and knowledge of Christ, to not hear the ordinances of man to, touch not, taste not, handle not.

All commandments and considerations of man are to perish.

Colossians 2:20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

We are not come to the mount that might be touched and we die by touching...

Hebrews 12:18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:

But we are come to Jesus Christ, who we looked upon and our hands have handled, of the word of life..

Hebrews 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

1 John 1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;

Now we do not touch what is unclean to us ( forbidden by God) instead our only focus is Christ.

2 Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
