Hi Hecklerboy.
God did not fail he never does ,Adam was in communion with God , Eve ate of the fruit,so they both rebelled,chose to be independent to find things out for themselves,Eve was outwitted by the Serpent who injected doubt into her.
Gen:4 then the serpent said to the woman "You will not surely die".5,For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened ,and you will be like God ,knowing good and evil.
The penalty was the curse and death.the fall.In the beginning God blessed Adam and Eve and told them to be fruitful and multiply ;fill the earth and subdue it.
Gen 3:15 tells us of God's plan what He will do to redeem man.
Gen 10 shows the genealogy of the sons of Noah.12 shows the promises to Abram.
Isaiah 9.The government of the promised Son.Mathews Gospel shows the genealogy of Jesus Christ.
Jesus is the Way,the Truth,and the Life,He says: John 47. Most assuredly ,I say to you,he who believes in Me has everlasting life"
51."I am the living bread ,which came down from Heaven.If anyone eats of this bread,he will live forever;and the bread that I shall give is My flesh,which I shall give for the life of the world"
54.Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life,and I will raise him up at the last day"
Acts 2 Peters Sermon.
22.Men of Israel,hear these words,Jesus of Nazareth,a Man attested by God to you by miracles,wonders,and signs which God did through Him in your midst,as you yourselves know.
23.Him being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God,you have crucified,and put to death.
24.whom God raised up,having loosed the pains of death,because it was not possible that He should be held by it.
Acts 7 54 Steven the Martyr .
When they heard these things they were cut to the heart,and they gnashed at him with their teeth.
55,But he, being full of The Holy Spirit gazed into Heaven and saw the glory of God,and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.
56.and said "Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God!
57.Then they cried out with a loud voice,stopped their ears,and ran at him with one accord;
58.and they cast him out of the city and stoned him.And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul.
59.And they stoned Steven as he was calling on God,and saying,"Lord Jesus,receive my spirit"
60 Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice." Lord,do not charge them with this sin" And when he had said this,he fell asleep.
Acts 9 Paul converted.Acts 10 .39.And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem,whom they killed by hanging on a tree.
40.Him,God raised up on the third day,and showed Him openly.
41.Not to all the people,but to witnesses chosen before by God,even to us,who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.
42. And He commanded us to preach to the people,and to testify that it is He who who was ordained by God to be judge of the living and the dead.
43.To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name,whoever believes in Him will receive 'remission of sins'.
