    First when God said "US" who are the us, we plural?

    He was not talking to the serpent (devil) or Adam and Eve

    Did God tell Eve not to eat or just Adam?

    Why did Adam take so long, even after God appeared to decide to call her Eve? Why did God "Curse" Adam and Eve and say that children would be a punishment along with the other punishment, like telling her she would always want Adam etc.? When we also read he said go forth and replenish the earth. When replenish means (to make full or complete again, as by supplying what is lacking, used up,) Can we assume that there were people there before and now there is no one so God made Adam and Eve Again to re stock earth?

    How did God make the skins from animals for them and why? I know they were naked but why would he care.

    When God was saying about cursing their seed was he talking to Adam and Eve or Eve and the Devil?

    Jasmine,

    I'll take a few of these. As to your first question, I fully agree with what Adam has shared with you. I also believe in the Deity (eternal existence) of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. All three, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are all co-equal, and co-eternal.



    Q. Did God tell Eve not to eat or just Adam?

    A. Genesis 2:16 would indicate that God told this just to Adam as he was the only human in existence when God said it. We don't see Eve come into the scene until Genesis 2:22.

    Q. Can we assume that there were people there before and now there is no one so God made Adam and Eve Again to re stock earth?

    A. I would say no to that one. Even though it says to "replenish" the earth, the word replenish in Hebrew meant to fill the earth, not re-fill it.

    Q. How did God make the skins from animals for them and why? I know they were naked but why would he care?

    A. My guess would be that if God could create the entire universe, just by speaking things into existence, it would be simple for Him to make animal skins. But why would God do so? This was done as a covering for their sin. Up until the point where they disobeyed God, they had no knowledge of being naked. But when God appeared to them, they hid themselves from Him because they were perhaps ashamed of their nakedness. That's what sin does. It exposes us!

    Genesis 1:28, other translations say "to fill" or "make full" the earth, replacing "replinish" , it would be interesting to do original text reasearch on the word.

    Genesis 2:16,17,

    If you look at Genesis 5:1-2, it can change the perspective, to who exactly the name Adam, is referring to. It's similar to referencing "man or mankind, man made" the difference seems to be clarified more when it says "the woman " Genesis 3, if we look however as Genesis 2, being in chronological order, then the woman arrives Genesis 2:18,19,21,22, after. However Genesis 3:1-3, shows she was very aware of the 'law' 2Corinthians 11:3, 1Timothy 2:13-15,

    Genesis 2:23, He 1st named her ' woman ' interestingly Jacob also seems to do the same when GOD changed his name to Israel he continues to be referred to as Jacob, also. Genesis 32:28, Genesis 35:10, Genesis 46:2,5,

    It doesn't say their children would be a punishment, Genesis 3:16, pregnancy & childbirth is difficult, painful, with distress. Woman also have hormons that magnify crying 'sorrow'. Explaining the curse also. Why, seems to be explained in Gen. 3. Revelation 12:2, John 16:21,

    Genesis 3:7, fig leaves, will decompose & provide no warmth, It's a temporary, hasty, bad choice. Genesis 3:21, compassion, provision, love, mercy, knowledge, wisdom & protection, is why GOD made coats of skin for them. Remember they were no longer allowed in the protected environment of the special garden. Genesis 3:23-24, Ephesians 2:4,

    "how, did GOD make skins from animals for them & why" It appears to be the 1st animal sacrifice to cover "mans sins".

    Romans 5:14, John 3:15,16, 1Corinthians 15:22, 1Corinthians 15:45, 1Chronicles 1:1, Luke 3,

    Proverbs 7, Romans 8, Hebrews 10, Matthew 13,

    Hopefully these are all helpful

    Hi Jasmine, you asked several questions but I will just address your first question about God plural. It's plural because God is a triune being composed of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Beware of anyone pushing their own ideology and twisting scripture in order to accomplish their desired outcome. The Bible already says what it means and because it says this about God I choose to believe it.

    Here are verses describing that. God bless.

    John 1:1

    1 John 5:7-8

    Genesis 1:26

    Genesis 11:6-7

    John 10:30

    John 8:19

    Philippians 2:5-8

    2 Corinthians 5:19

    John 1:3

    Matthew 28:19

    1 Peter 1:2

    2 Corinthians 13:14

    Deuteronomy 6:4

    John 14:10

    John 20:28

    1 John 2:22-24

    Isaiah 7:14
