First Sin

The first earth was complete just like this one, there were people, there were cities, there was nations etc. Everything was perfect. But Satan was put in charge of this first earth; God gave it to him, just as the second one was given to Adam. But because Satan wanted to be equal to God he convinced the angels and man to rebel against God in order to destroy this perfection, and tried to make himself the real God.

In Genesis here we find him doing the same thing.

God recreated or remade the new earth and this time man was put in charge of it, but Satan again tried to make himself greater than God and tried to destroy God’s perfection again by having man become disobedient to God and rebel against Him.

Now I would like to take this article and prove what I said about Adam and Eve. I ask that just for a few minutes forget about your traditional teachings and look at what the Bible says. From things written in the Bible, it is my hope you will be able to see that what I am saying makes more sense than taking a bite out of the apple, that is not mentioned anywhere in the Bible, in connection to this.

Yes the main sin committed here was the disobedience to God.
This disobedience was brought about by the temptations of Satan through lust of the flesh. I think it is important to see that the two major sins of today outside of rejecting God started here with these two people, adultery and homosexuality. The destruction of family unity, of family values. I firmly believe that the fruit Eve ate of was sex, and I will try to prove why I feel this way. When Eve had sex with Satan, she was already married to Adam, even though their marriage had not been consummated, thus the first act of adultery. When she gave Satan to Adam and he partook, the first act of homosexuality.

This relationship also shows the falling away from God. We let other things come between us and our first love, God. It shows how worldly things are more important than a personal intimate relationship with God. We have to have our desires first; we are selfish, self-centered little gods.

Now read the first two chapters of Genesis and let us study them for a minute to see a major event in time.

One thing we must look at here. Some people want to look at chapter one and two as being two separate events, but they are not. Chapter one tells about God making everything and chapter two goes into a little more detail about how He did it.

Now as I said in the article before, there is a time break between verse one and verse two here in chapter one.

Read the first three or four verses here and pay close attention to what is being said.

Genesis Chapter 1

1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Now everything that God does is perfect, there are no mistakes with His work, so in verse one we should realize that when this was done everything was perfect. Now let us look at verse two.

2. 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.

Now this is not the way God would have made it, this is what Satan turned it into when God destroyed the first earth. Another thing God has nothing to do with darkness. He is the light. The darkness was Satan’s doing through sin within the first earth age.

3. And God said, let there be light: and there was light.
4. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9. And God said, Let the waters under the Heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11. And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13. And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14. And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15. And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18. And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20. And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24. And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26. 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.
27. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28. 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.
29. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31. 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.

Now have you read these verses real close, or have you read them like most people, just read one verse and go to the next or have you looked at what is being said. Okay you read them good right.
Now let us look at one thing you probably did not catch with the creation events.

At the completion of each day’s work God looked at it and saw it was good, except the recreation period of verses 6, 7 and 8. He did not call that good, why not?

I feel that it was during this period when the atmosphere was redone in order to support life, that Satan and his angels reentered this earth and because of it God could not call it or see it as being good.

Now look at what all was made during the sixth day.

24. And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 25. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26. 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.

Now notice here when it is telling the creation of man that He said let THEM have dominion over everything, in other words at this point He had created both Adam and Eve. In chapter two He just tells how He did it. But they both were created on the sixth day.

27. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28. 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.
29. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
32. 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 chapter 2

1. Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

On the 7th day God rested from all of His work. This meant everything even to the driving man out of the garden.
4. These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,
5. And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
6. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
7. And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8. And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9. And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
10. And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
11. The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12. And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
13. And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
14. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
15. And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
16. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17. 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.
18. And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
19. 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.
20. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
21. 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;
22. And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23. 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.
24. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Why would they be ashamed, everything was pure, sin had not entered in, except the presence of Satan and his angels?

Now everything that is talked about from verse six through 25 was done in the sixth day as well as some other things we will see.

In this study, I will explain some things, that is the way I see it and try to support part of my views with other verses.

Some of these things may offend you, if it does please forgive me as that is not what this is about, if you do not want to accept what I write, that is perfectly okay, as I said it is only the way I see some things.

Let us go back to the last couple verses of our study and learn a little more if you are not already aware of it.

Here I feel are two very important elements and for one to truly understand it must study the Bible. In almost every situation in the Bible when a tree is mentioned in this way, it refers to man, or a man or a nation of people, like Israel.

In verse 9 of chapter 2, God plants all the trees that was pleasant to the eye and good for food, (one group of trees, real trees); and He said the tree of life was there as well as the tree of knowledge of good and evil, (second group of trees Christ and Satan).
But they were not to take of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Now they could have taken of the tree of life and lived forever, but were forbidden to do so after they committed the first sin.
Once they sinned, they were required to pay for that sin.

I will not put all the verse in here that shows where a tree represents man or a nation, but I will list where some of them are found so you can go back and read them for yourself.

Read Daniel Chapter 4 Verses 11 - 37

Now we can see clearly in this dream that Nebuchadnezzar was that tree.

Judges chapter 9, Isaiah 56:3, Jeremiah 11:16-19, 17:8, Ezekiel
17, Ezekiel 31, Daniel 4, Hosea 14, Zechariah 11, Matthew 3:10
(Christians), 7:17-19 (Church), 12:33 (Fruit), Luke 3:9, 6:43-44,
13:7 all of these verses uses trees to represent man in some form.

When you read the New Testament you will find where Christ refers to Himself as the tree of life.

Now I feel the tree of life mention here was Christ, the tree of knowledge of good and evil was Satan

I said the fruit was not fruit, as we know it, but that it was sex, not just sex but sin sex.

You may say that is impossable, angels can not have sex with people, read my article about Angels.

Now in the Bible, everywhere it mentions the fruit of man, it references fruit of the loin or fruit of the womb, and here is a list of verses you can look this up in.

Genesis 1:1, Genesis 3, Genesis 30:2, Exodus 30:2, Deuteronomy 7:13, 22:9, 28:4, 28:11, 28:18, 28:53, 30:9, Psalms 1:3, 21:10 etc. it is all through the Bible, just get you an concordance and look them up.

Does not both of these represent life as created by sex. Does it not indicate that if the tree of knowledge was Satan that the only fruit he could offer that man could eat of, would be sex?

Now I am not saying sex is evil, but when used in the manner as I see it here in Genesis, it is, adultery, and acts of abomination.

Genesis Chapter 3
1. Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

First we must realize here that the serpent here is not of the form of the snake we know today. The word subtil here means more cunning. In other words, his mental ability or knowledge was greater than any other beast of the field that God had made. He walked upright, whether on two legs or four legs we do not know, but we do know that at this point in time he walked not crawled. The serpent here questions God’s authority.

2. And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3. But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5. 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.

Their eyes were not really closed to things around them, only closed to sin, as sin had not yet entered in. Here the serpent is denying God’s power.

6. 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.

This verse proves their eyes were not really closed, as she had not taken of the fruit yet, but still she saw the tree and saw it as being good for food.
Food for knowledge, for self-satisfaction, for lust, not food for the body as nourishment.

Adam the first man meant "Red earth". The first human being, who was created by God on the final day of Creation (Genesis 1-2).
He was made in the image of God from the dust of the earth. From his rib, a female, Eve, was later formed and made his wife. Adam and Eve had power over all living things, but as a result of disobedience they were expelled from the Garden of Eden and condemned to work for a living. He died at the age of 930 years.

The first woman, According to Genesis 1:27, both male and female were created in the image of God. In Genesis 2:22, Eve was formed from the rib of Adam. In the Garden of Eden.

She was seduced, (from everything that I was ever taught, seduced meant to lead a person into sexual relationship. Yes I know it can reference other things, but this is the most common) by the serpent, to be disobedient to God and persuaded Adam to follow her example. Because of this, they were expelled from the Garden and Eve was condemned to labor in childbirth and to be subservient to her husband

7. 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.

Here we see their eyes was opened to sin, they realized they had sinned and tried to cover their own sin. What parts did they cover?

8. 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.
9. And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10. And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

Here we see Adam confessing to God that he had sinned, the first step for forgiveness. If we do not acknowledge our sins, how can we turn from them and ask God to forgive us.

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?
12. And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

What tree did they eat of? the tree of knowledge or Satan, what fruit is a fruit of man? fruit of the loin or sex.

Here we see the normal action of man. Refusing to accept the guilt and try to pass the blame to someone else.

13. And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

Synonyms DECEIVE, MISLEAD, DELUDE, BEGUILE mean to lead astray or
frustrate usually by underhandedness.
DECEIVE implies imposing a false idea or belief that causes ignorance, bewilderment, or helplessness (tried to deceive me about the cost)
MISLEAD implies a leading astray that may or may not be intentional (I was misled by the confusing sign)
DELUDE implies deceiving so thoroughly as to obscure the truth
(we were deluded into thinking we were safe).
BEGUILE stresses the use of charm and persuasion in deceiving
(was beguiled by false promises).

When Eve said the serpent beguiled her, she was stating a fact far greater than we would normally look at. I feel Satan put the image (knowledge of good and evil) sex into her mind, the image was so real that she could actually taste it or feel the joy of it and then she had sex with Satan, when she saw how good it was, she brought Adam over and Adam had sex of some form with Satan, probably the first act of homosexuality.

Just the showing of an apple would not have been enough to make them disobey God, it had to be something far greater, thus sex, and with this the opening of their eyes of what had occurred.
14. And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
16. Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17. 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;
18. Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19. 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.
20. And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
21. Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

Notice here God was not satisfied with the covering they had made for their sins and thus sat an example that was to be carried on down, pointing towards Christ, a blood sacrifice. He killed an animal and made them clothes from it.

22. 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:
23. Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24. 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

Now all of this you have read dealt with the sixth day as well as the first statement of verse one of chapter 4. I believe this to be the case in that in almost every situation when a man and woman is married, they will consummate their marriage before that day ends.
Genesis Chapter 4
1. And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord.

I think she made the statement here the way she did, because of the punishment passed to her from God for her sin. I do not think it meant a holy child.

I think Satan conceived Cain when she had sex with him, and Able was conceived when she consummated the marriage with Adam. I think they were born at the same time and I will give my reason for thinking this.

Is this not what 1 John 3:12 implies?

1 John 3:12
Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. In almost every place I have read in the Bible, with the exception of the birth of Christ, when a child is conceived it states and he knew her and she conceived. In other words the man had sex with the woman and she conceived and brought forth a child. As you see in verse two it does not say again that Adam knew her first, it just says and she bare his brother Abel. Based upon these statements, I feel Cain and Abel were twins.

2. And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3. And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord.
4. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
5. But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
6. And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7. If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
8. And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
9. And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?
10. And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
11. And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
12. When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
13. And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14. Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
15. And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
16. And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
17. And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

I hope you can see what I have tried to show here in this article. When one sees it in this manner, they can more clearly see just how desceptive Satan is, and can realize he will use everything in his power to draw people from God if he can.
