step 1
in the creattion Adam and Eve are cerated to enjoy the delightful garden and be intimate companions for each toehr
2
they are privelaged to talk to the creator
3
soon they are aught up with disobedience and guilt
4
they ate the forbidden fruit from teh tree of knowledge of good and evil
5
as a result fro eating from the tree they have knoweldege they are naked and try to coveer themselved up
6
to avoid god who is appproachign they hdie
7
god vcalls adma and his excuse for hiding nakedness yeat earlier adam was naked and not ashamaed
8
god asked adam if he has eaten from the tree yet adam unable to bear punishment shifts the blame to eve
9
eve also unable to own up blames the serpent for tricking her
10
sin has done its wokr and has ruined the relationships between god themselves and ceration
11
god tells tehm the consqueneces of tehir sin, mans work will not give him perfect pleasure but will be difficult and weary to him, woman will be subject to ehr husband and will bear pain while giving birth
12
this was the first sin of humankind thus called original sin
13
the readson why Adam and Eve sin is bc they have to much pride in themsleves that they want to be like god and have his knwoledge yet that is an illusion bc no one can be god
14
their sin reminds us of what sin essentially is the refusal to acknowlegde god as god and ourselves dependent on him
15
it was free human beings not god who screwedd up life in the garden
16
god didnt create injustice in the world humans did by their won bad choices
17
all suffering even from natural disters illness death are stems from the sdin of Adam and Eve not from god
18
sin is evrhwere in the world
18
from the excesive amount we spent being selfish and self centered to in a way where we dont give back or particpitate in charity to the amount of time we lack faith in god and belived that we dont need god in our livs
19
sin today isnt like adama and eves sin it can be as little as dishonoring or yelling at our parents lying that we did the homework but didnt treating others horribly while expecting everyone to treat us like royalty
20
to stop sin we must utrn to god for help we have to be true to oursleves we have to say the truht and above all we have to treat toehr the way we would like to be treated
21
i could help living out this way i could be kind and helpful and expect to be treated teh same if not i could strive to teach tohers about equality living out my life with god present and not letting sin trick me into believing it is the right chouice to sin, this will spread somehwy or antoher to my friends and family and evetually to more and ore people andthus this will achieve peace
