Discuss Genesis 3 Page 44

the word of GOd is right from the begining to the end. If GOD said that the husband should rule over his wife, then it is just what it is. The word says also that the husband should rule his wife as christ ruled and rules the church. To know your job as a husband, find out about christ and his job as savior.

Genesis Chapter 3 is so BEAUTIFUL! God planted two GOOD trees in the MIDST of the garden of Eden: The tree of "LIFE" and the tree of "THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL" ( Genesis 3:3,3:24,2:9). It was only the fruit of the tree of THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL which God forbidden for a man to eat ( Genesis 2:17). But God allowed man to eat all of the fruits of the garden of Eden, therefore the fruit of the tree of "LIFE" was also included ( Genesis 2:16). Since the fruit of the tree of "LIFE" shall make a man to live for ever ( Genesis 3:22), therefore it only proves than in the beginning, before the man disobey the commandment of God, He seen it good also for a man to live for ever like Him and His Angels. That if a man be with Him, he shall be alive and shall not die.

MY COMMENT IS THAT, WE SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD. THAT JUST COMES TO TELL YOU HOW TRICKY SATAN IS, WE CAN NEVER PRAY OR READ THE BIBLE ENUFF.GOD LOVE'S US

The book of GENESIS Chapter 3 tells us the exact scenario that happened in the garden of Eden involving the snake, Eve, and Adam. If ever God mean anything other than this then for sure He won't left it unrevealed but rather He shall show us the interpretation thereof.

God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, they are infact 3 different beings, they are One. "let 'Us' make man in 'Our' image". People think that the trinity is one person but if you go through the scriptures you will find that they are different beings. Jesus is know as the Son of God, He says..I am in the Father and the Father is in me...They are in agreement!! Like one church has many bodies,different people but they are all in agreement to God..Jesus also said on the cross..Father, why have you forsaken me? the scriptures have the answers to all your questions..don't take my word for it..go and study. Seek and you will find. Pray for wisdom. God bless. Amen

The principle of double reference will be apply in this explanation. The seed of a woman could either be use literarily or symbollically.The first literal meaning is the first reaction of the seed of a woman (man) and a snake when their come in contact.Either the man or the snake will try to hurt each other. The second principle had interpretation in the spiritual dimension.In this case,the seed of a woman represent Jesus Christ and all those who are spiritual sons through salvation( John 1:12).The spiritual battle between satan and man,with the defeat of satan on the cross ,the pain satan inflicted on man and inturn the later victory of the christains were as a result of this inherited curse in Genesis 3:15.Jesus even had to go through pain before He attain glory.Hence the first son,Jesus and other sons had finally bruise the head of serpent.

(This is my response to Shane's comment dated 9/12/2013 at 3:46am on Genesis Chapter 3):

It is FALSE to say that the devil was with God in the beginning because God said in Isaiah 45:7, "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things" which means that God was already there before He created evil and that includes Satan, the Devil.

Why is it that no one really addresses the first part of this verse "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman" What does this mean. You keep answering the latter part of this verse. Please stick to answering just the first part only please, please

This scripture proves that people do not burn in a fiery hell. "For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return," is fairly clear.

I feel the Satan hide himself using a serpent, i just only wish Eve would have been more on point i mean a snake talking to you, i would have found that really strange but we are all human and God is the perfect one, but thank him for grace and mercy. lets just pray for one another and agree on the internet prayer has no distance. we don't have to know one another just believe.

When god said behold he has become as one of us to know good and evil : understand the snake or serpent was the devil even in his very name the devil has evil if you take that away , and God good? You see it's plain and simple he has become to know the specifics of knowledge good and evil therefore meaning to know there are two choices in life god and evil. The devil was with God in the beginning.

when speaking one of us I believe he is talking about Jesus becauce Jesus was still with God at this point

The snake was more crafty than any other beast God made, does it mean there were other crafty animals?

God offered Adam the chance to eat from the Tree of Life and live for ever to understand the joy that comes with the Good and all the pain and suffering with the Evil imagine that for Eternity !!! Now everyone suffers because He ( not just Adam this goes for everyone ) couldn't deal with his mistakes

its well indeed lighting to imagine that god is talking about a possibility of other as he has mentioned us in other parts of the bible.

Well, take a good long look folks. Everything goes to pieces after this.

Genesis3:22 a bit confused:who was God refering to when he says the man has become like one of us? Who was with him? was there another God?please help with this verse

" one of us " I believe He refers to the Angels together

777Yeshua777: I think your theory regarding the creation of humans other than Adam and Eve does not withstand analysis. See Genesis 3:20: "And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living."

I see the serpent appealing to the flesh of EVe, tempting her through the lust of the flesh the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. The battle is on to walk by the spirit or walk by the flesh.Eve believed Satan because she lusted after that which God said to not yield to.We live with the same choices everyday. Trust and obey God or yield to the lust of our flesh,lust of our eyes and the pride of our life.

The seed of the women's heel will first be crushed by Satan. This was literally fulfilled on the cross of Calvary. but the prophesy also says the crushing of the head of the serpent, which is still future and will occur at the second coming of Christ.

TO ANSWER SCOTTS QUESTION;GOD GAVE THEM FREE WILL,THEY COULD HAVE OBEYED WHAT GOD SAID.THIS IS AN OLD SAYING,WHO'S YOUR DADDY?GOD OR SATAN/choose this day who you will serve.

on verse 13 God was talking about two progeny the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent, he put enemity he is going to bruse his heels(nail to the cross and adam and eve seed is going to bruse his head by jesus been nail to the cross he destroy the works of the devil the first profeshy of the bible.

shall ye touch lest ye die. on verse 3 the word touch in the Hebrew is (naga) lie with a woman or a man. and i can not find the fruit apple anywhere. so they sin and make aprons for their private parts where they have sin they did not made masks.

This a very touching verse, where Art thou. Where are you Adam. God continues to ask us as people on this earth. Where are you?

I do agree with Herman that God could have made hides without ever killing an animal...BUT the reason He did was to show that it took THE BLOOD to cover their sin....you see all through the Bible "under the law" you see where sacrifices were made unto God - under the law the blood sacrifice would cover sin for 1 year...but then God sent His Son Jesus Christ for our ultimate sacrifice - PRAISE GOD IT'S FOREVER PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE!

I see the bible verse, but where is the scientific part where both man and women possess the seed of life discovered in the 17th century?

men do not follow the lord because of sin. The Lord is waiting and calling. He is looking and wants to have fellowship with us. Such love the Father has for us. His love should constrain us to worship and serve Him.

The serpent had a seed..Cain. Follow the lineage of Cain and u will see it coming to head in the end time as the anti-christ. Why did JESUS SAY TO THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES "U ARE OF YR FATHER THE DEVIL?

I'm a little confused, why did God tell adam and eve not to eat of the tree of knowledge? If god is all powerful surely he could stop anyone he wanted from eating from it?
The answer to this could be that he wanted to keep free will as a factor, but again god is omnipotent so he could make it so they had free will and also didn't eat the fruit?

When they did eat from the tree of knowledge, shouldn't that be according to gods plan as nothing is outwith his knowledge or power?
So if his plan was to make Adam and eve eat the fruit anyway, why not just make them?
