How come god didn't know that? In chapter 2 he realises that Adam hasn't got a Squeeze. He'd done the male and female thing for a whole bunch of other animals then it's completely slipped his perfect, all wise, all seeing, all knowing, mind, that the pinnacle of his creation has a penis that is completely useless when it comes to procreating the species. Or had he forgotten that too?

The purpose of the account of Adam and Eve is to show how things came to be. GOD creating female was not an afterthought, it is just showing the thought process of GOD........learn to use your thinking ability and power of reason when reading the bible.

14 So the LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,

“Cursed are you above all livestock
and all wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
and you will eat dust
all the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring [a] and hers;
he will crush [b] your head,
and you will strike his heel.”

Why would GOD curse a creation because of something that satan did? So of course, the serpent is satan, and the curse is against satan. Crawl on his belly means that satan is brought down to the lowest form of subjection. Some faiths believe that the serpent had feet before. It does not refer to a literal serpent or snake, but to satan. And then it refers to Christ crushing the serpents head.......to be continued.

We are not responsible for the sins of our fathers, sons or daughters, etc. etc. We are each individually responsible for our own actions. Disobediance came even when GOD's kings were on the earth. If you read the account of Adam and Eve, it describes the sinful nature throughout the entire history upon the earth.

He will not die for his father’s sin; he will surely live. 18 But his father will die for his own sin, because he practiced extortion, robbed his brother and did what was wrong among his people.

6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

The fruit of the tree was pleasing to the eye (the naked body) and also desirable (desires of the flesh). You gain wisdom from the deceptive powers of immorality. When Adam and Eve engaged in the desires of the flesh, they became ashamed and exposed (naked). Therefore they covered over their shame with clothing.

prologos, you are finally thinking......GOD uses His creation in symbolism to teach, i.e. fruitage of the spirit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, as well as a bad tree cannot produce good fruit. Jesus is the root of Jesse, as in the root of a tree? The family tree? Get it?

fakesmile, we choose how we live out lives, GOD does not choose it for us. We can be bad (evil) or good (righteousl). Which way do you choose to live your life?

Lostgeneration is truly lost.......he cannot formulate in his mind the origin of humandkind. All things have a beginning and it is obvious that generations continue through reproduction. We have multiplyed and are filling the earth as we speak. It had to begin with a male and female....think about it.

4 “You will not certainly die,the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Satan is a liar.......humans have come to know evil by the way that we have chosen to live our lives. GOD knew this would take place.......not of GOD's choosing, but of those that He created.
