Because I Loved You!


I pray that something in this article is helpful to you in possibly understanding or seeing things somewhat  differently from what you may have been taught or have heard from others. I do not claim to be anything or anyone other that His Willing Servant. I am starting off with a version of the story that most people know or have heard about at some point. This will begin in "The Garden of Eden", and center around Adam and Eve. I hope you will enjoy this story and gain from the contents.

Have you ever thought; "Why didn't God kill Adam and Eve immediately, in the physical, when they very blatantly disobeyed Him in The Garden of Eden?" Here is my answer to this question. God still loved them, Adam and Eve, so much that He took an innocent "lamb" and killed it to cover their nakedness. He did that because He loved them unconditionally. Even though they disobeyed Him they were still His first and greatest creation. Why would I say such a thing? Because "man" is the only being that was created with His (GOD'S) own hands. Then He created Eve from that wonderfully created being called Man or Adam. God answered this question I believe very well when He gave Adam and Eve life instead of death for their disobedience. Now some will, I'm sure, take offense to that statement but hopefully they will read farther too see and understand what I mean by that statement.

First: Adam and Eve were to receive the punishment of death for their disobedience in touching and eating of the forbidden fruit, from the forbidden tree, which is called and known as: "The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil". Yes, you are right, those having argument or disagreement with me about that former statement, but please look with me for a moment then consider what I said and how I actually meant what I said. Here's one way to look at this; God gave Adam and Eve "LIFE" instead of death because they had a job to complete, which was called Replenishing the Earth. Yet they did receive the punishment of death in that they lost their right to commune with God, which is the or a total seperation from God forever. They did die for their disobedience, and yet on the other hand they did receive life because physically they did not die right away.
