To sum it up in three words: seduction, sin, punishment. In between these words is a great drama. Adam, the first earthling, made from the earth, and the first woman, made from the first man, begin their life together in the Garden of Eden, and already standing between them from the start is the snake.<\/span><\/p>\n

The snake presents the temptation to eat. But temptation is not just a sensory desire. It is a temptation to be like God who knows good and evil. And eating seems to do the job, and the woman and man\u2019s eyes are opened. And surprisingly, or not, the first thing they discover in a world of knowledge is sexuality and shame.<\/span><\/p>\n

The punishments, or the price tag of knowledge, are in some ways the existential problems that human beings face: the pain of childbirth, the rule of \u201cthe stronger sex\u201d over \u201cthe more beautiful sex,\u201d the difficulty of making a living. As for the snake, his punishment is that it must crawl \u00a0on its belly–not such a big deal at all!<\/span><\/p>\n

Points to Ponder:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0<\/span> The snake – What sort of creature is he? At the end of the chapter he is the most familiar crawling \u00a0creature in the field or in the zoo. But at the beginning, the snake is something completely different.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. \u00a0<\/span> The woman – She is the one who brings knowledge into the world. Is this good or bad? \u00a0It seems left for us to decide.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. \u00a0<\/span> On the one hand, in the story, “knowing good and evil” is “to be like God.” On the other hand, the first thing people come to know is their sexuality, which is completely realistic.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. \u00a0<\/span> The story also has the Tree of Life, and not just the Tree of Knowledge Good and Evil. The Tree of Life remains in the Garden of Eden, and we were expelled to work the land until we return to it.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. \u00a0<\/span> In Chapter 1 – The woman is called \u201cAdam\u201d (God had created the first human being male and female). \u00a0In Chapter 2 – She is called \u201ca woman\u201d (because she was taken from the body of the man). In Chapter 3 – She gets another name “Eve” and a new role – \u201cthe mother of all the living\u201d (Genesis 3:20).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
