Q

The Fall

A

Adam and Eve, tempted by the devil, preferred themselves over God, ignoring the fact that they were only creatures and not God.

God commands Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit on the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The serpent distorts the truth, promising Adam and Eve that if they eat the forbidden fruit, they will be like God.

Their self-centered choice alienated them from each other and God. With sin came sweat-producing work, painful childbirth and death. The worst consequence of sin is the destruction of close intimacy with God, symbolized by banishment from the Garden of Eden.
