Even Adam in a sense was a rejected natural "firstborn". Then the son of man was chosen by God to enter back into his presence. First the natural, then the spiritual.
Yeah Adam was rejected because of what he did though not because of Gods desire vine decision to reject him
This wasn’t Adam and Eve rejected but created and made for and blessed and given dominion upon the earth
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.”
Genesis 1:27-28, 31 KJV
there’s nothing wrong with Adam and Eve they were created in the image of the lord and blessed by him given the whole very good earth to rule. Then God fellowshipped with them and placed them to live in Eden and tend the garden .
“And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
….And they were both naked,
the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.”
Genesis 2:15-17, 25 KJV
There’s nothing wrong with them at all they are accepted already and blessed bit then
after they break his commandment warning the about death by the knowledge of good and evil ….everything changes for them
“And
the serpent said unto the woman,
Ye shall not surely die: for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto
her husband with her; and he did eat.
And the eyes of them both were opened, and
they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. And
they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and
hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the
days of thy life; thorns also and thistles
shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; in
the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because
she was the mother of all living.
And the LORD God said, Behold,
the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
So
he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and
a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.”
Genesis 3:4-8, 17-20, 22-24 KJV
It’s not that Adam was created wrong it’s that Satan corrupted them in thier minds and hearts with
the knowledge of good and evil
man isn’t meant to know both good and evil it was a sin when they partook against gods will and in violation of the true commandment . We are designed by God to do action only by listening ing to what he tells us and believing and following that.
That’s our design like Jesus he walked always in obedience to the fathers word and kept his commandments. We aren’t made wrong we get corrupted through lust by temptation and sin and tbat corrupts us then we’re called to repent and live or continue in sin and die. Like cain was called to repent but continued on and was exiled
We aren’t born wrong we’re born with forbidden knowledge of good and evil that isn’t meant for us we’re meant to just trust Gods judgements of good and evil and be his people and trust his word on the matter
God made mankind from the beginning and blessed and chose them to be the only creature made in his image and likeness and given dominion to rule over the earth .
Adams relationship with God was before any mediation was necassary before even melchezidek was there to intervene or mediate between God and man
“And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; and the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.”
Genesis 2:19, 21-25 KJV
if these are unacceptable “ natural man “ why has god chosen and blessed them and commanded them telling them the truth about life and death ? Places them in Eden and fellowshipped with them ? It seems more like his enemy corrupted thier thinking and led then to forbidden knoweldge that now competes for thier service and loyalty within
good and evil
We aren’t created or born wrong we choose evil which is what sin is
knowing what’s right and choosing the other thing we know isn’t right before God. Because we’re corrupted knowing good and evil which we aren’t supposed to we’re meant to live by what God said to us in a covenant ….like Adam and eves covenant blessed and given dominion over the earth given the freedom and information we need from him to walk and live by
