    The sin in Eden was a man and his wife committing fornication.

    Colossians 3:18, "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord." This verse means that husbands and wives can do what is unfit. And the cross reference to "as it is unfit in the Lord" sends me to Ephesians 5:3, to explain what is unfit. "But fornication, and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not be once named among you." Oral and anal sex is forbidden and unfit for husbands and wives for it is stated in Jude 7 that the sex of Sodom and Gomorrah is called fornication, "Sodom and Gomorrah giving themselves over to fornication and going after strange flesh are set forth for an example." So, we can see that God forbids all men and women, all husbands and wives, to use their bodies for fornication, the sex of Sodom and Gomorrah. This truth is reinforced and made clear in 1 Corinthians 6:13 where it declares, "The body is not made for fornication, but for the Lord."

    So what you're saying is adam and eve as husband and wife committed fornication by obeying god.

    so you says adam and eve brought sin into the world as husband and wife by committing fornication,

    ( genesis 1:28. and god blessed them, and god said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth,)



    you've been proven wrong on this issue already. let it go!!

    everyone knows the sin of adam was disobeying god, eve was deceived.

    the devil was a deceiver and a liar from the beginning,

    the devil misquoting scripture is his tatic.

    we need to beware of the devil disciples who uses these tatics as well..

    beware of who you give god speed!!!

    JOB's' wife's sin was the same as the sin in Eden.

    Job 2:9."Then said his wife unto him, dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God and die."

    Gen 3:6 "And when the women 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."

    Job's wife is giving Job some advice. Why don't you lose your inner goodness, which is your integrity, which comes from having the Holy Spirit---truth? Why don't you sin the sin that blasphemes the Holy Ghost? Curse God and die (speaking of a spiritual death.) Job's wife was asking Job to do the same as Eve wanted Adam to do. Job would not. He made the choice not to sin. Job was unequally yoked together with a person who served the devil, and in most cases the person who serves the devil will want their spouse to do so also. They will try and persuade their spouse to commit unnatural sex.

    Job was a person who feared the Lord, which means he hated evil and would not join his wife in evil.

    Human kind needs to understand what has brought all the violence to earth. This sin in Eden is the sin Jesus comes to earth to put an end to so we can experience heaven on earth. He will not come to condemn but he comes to deliver. How many homosexual would choose deliverance over acceptance?

    Dear Marilyn, I had a similar conversation with a homosexual and went like this. " I asked a homosexual this question"

    Which is greater of the two Life or Death ? and the homosexual stated Life !!!

    I then said, since the union between a Man and a Women is the only way to create Life.

    Then why do so many homosexuals choose the oppisite ????

    Death !!!!!!!!

    When I was a teenager and a member of a local church my pastor said this. If you cannot decide if something is right or wrong ask yourself the question, If all people were to do what you are thinking of doing would the world be better off or worse off? If all people were homosexual that would be the end of the human race.

    The story of Job and his wife is a picture of being unequally yoked together with a nonbeliever. Job was a person who hated evil. He did not believe in committing oral or anal sex. His wife did commit Satan's sex. Jesus is going to change the grounds for divorce from adultery to fornication. That means Job had the right to divorce his wife. She believed in fornication.

    Matthew 19:9 "whosoever shall put away his wife except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery." Job could have divorced his wife and he could have married another wife and he would not have committed adultery. Job had grounds for divorce, however divorce is not the only choice. He could remain married and not join his wife in sin. The day will come when the grounds for divorce will be changed from adultery to fornication.
