Eve; and the Eden Situation

 

Question: What is your opinion on Eve being blamed for the fall of all mankind?  How would you explain it to someone who believes this way?

 

Question: What is the message of the ancient Bible Apple story to humanity?

There wasn’t an “Apple”; the Word says Gen. 2:17: “but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die”.

Eve's was the first sin, Gen. 3:13, but Adam's is the responsibility, Gen. 3:17, so that the persuasive effect of Eve upon Adam, and the weakness of Adam must be eliminated for the cleansing service and function because the order of Jehovah Zebaoth will be established upon the Earth, which Satan successfully reversed at the Garden of Eden.

“Christ Jesus came at the end of the Ages” to deal with the question of sin (Heb. 9:26), and that started with the promise in Gen. 3:15.

Jesus came to undo what Satan had corrupted in Eden, when he successfully forced death into the world, via Eve and Adam, and God barred the "tree of life", Gen. 3:22-24, from them, and all mankind from then on.  Jesus, the "Second Adam" came that "all who will may come", to Jesus the Christ of God, and in believing in Him, may have eternal life.  “As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive", 1Cor. 15:22.

The obvious answer is that Almighty God set the scene that way, to counter the challenge of Lucifer/Satan!

What is being tested is the ability of mankind to resist Satan, even when Satan is free to make every test worse, and the free-will of mankind to resist!

At the present time, due to the Gift of Christ Jesus’ Sacrifice of Himself; All our problems of self-will are forgiven in Him; and His Redeeming Sacrifice!; the setup by Almighty God IMO is perfect!

What very few people understand is the part played by Satan in all the initial challenge he made to the Loving God of all Creation!

Evil will see its demise, but not until the change of “Age Time” (Dispensation) when Christ Jesus returns!
