Then the Bible says that God now puts man in the Garden of Eden to tend and keep it. There is a spiritual union that occurs when two people marry for true love.Īnd when one or both want out of the marriage for whatever reason, the pain can literally be excruciating because of the spiritual union that has taken place within the love and bonds of that marriage. This is why divorce is so painful when one or both of the partners try to break it off. It’s like flesh ripping from flesh when two married people try to dissolve the marriage union.
Bone of my bones, flesh of my flesh – two people becoming one flesh! These words right there tell you why divorce and marital breakups are so painful. Right at the beginning of creation, with the creation of the first man and the first woman, God tells us how powerful and how holy the marriage union is going to be. “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” (Genesis 2:24).“This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh …” (Genesis 2:22) Here is what he says in reference to Eve: After God brings Eve to Adam to be his helper, Adam makes a very powerful statement that has future implications for all married people. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from the man HE MADE INTO A WOMAN, and He brought her to the man.” (Genesis 2:21)Īgain, both of these accounts show that both Adam and Eve were created by God and that they did not evolve from any kind of evolutionary process or any kind of primates.Ģ. “And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Here is the verse that specifically tells us that Eve was also created just like Adam was, and that she too was not a product of some type of evolutionary process. God meant for Eve to be a helper comparable to him and He then tells the both of them to be fruitful and multiply and to fill the earth and subdue it. God literally creates the first woman from the rib of Adam. After a certain period of time, God then sees that it is not good that Adam continue to remain alone – so He then creates the first woman Eve by causing a deep sleep to fall on Adam and then takes out one of his ribs. Then God plants Adam in the Garden of Eden and gives him total dominion over everything in it – including all of the fish, the birds, and every living thing that moved on the earth at that time.
“And the Lord FORMED MAN of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living being.” (Genesis 2:7) Here is the verse that tells us that the very first man, Adam, was also created by God, and that he did not progressively evolve over any type of period of time:
The Bible then goes on to tell us that God then proceeds to create light, night and day, the seas, the stars, creatures to live in the seas, creatures to live on the dry land, and then finally the man Adam – all in 6 days. “In the beginning God CREATED the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1) The very first verse in the Bible tells us that God created the heavens and the earth. The account in Genesis tells us very specifically, and without any other possible interpretation, that both man, the heavens, the earth, and all the creatures on the earth were all CREATED by the Lord – that they did not progressively evolve over some period of time. There are many secular and atheistic teachers and professors who are teaching in our high schools and colleges that man gradually evolved rather than actually being created by our Lord. As Christians, we have to believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible. I will go ahead and break the story of Adam and Eve down under the following captions. To truly understand our roots and beginnings as Christians, we have to fully understand exactly what had occurred in this story. To really understand how we all got here, what it really means to be “born again,” and why there is so much death and destruction in the world we live in – you have to go back to the very beginning to the Adam and Eve story as told to us in the Bible.
