ORIGINAL SIN

The Expulsion of Adam and Eve From EdenIn the beginning, when God made man all was perfect.   Yet, the ‘evil one’ was lurking about.   Opposing all that is beautiful and lovely to God.

The God of heaven has many Angels.   In the hierarchy of Heaven, some of these angels are known as Arc Angels.   They are with-in the highest degree of heaven, and within the presence of God.   Their power is of God,  and  so are blessed indeed.

The angel that chose to remove himself from the presence of God and defy
God, is known to us as Satan.

Satan, saw that the ‘Garden of Eden’ was of God, and that God had created  people like himself.    Satan made haste to tempt the couple God had  made perfect in His image.    When God made Adam and Eve He formed the world and all within the world.   Pleasing to God, that He should enjoy the fruits of His labor he chose to make Man and Woman. 

Upon creating Adam, God realized He did not want man to be alone, so He put Adam in a deep sleep and removed a rib from his side, creating woman. 

From the Book of GENESIS: Chapter 21-25

21)’So, the Lord  God cast a deep sleep on the man, and while he was asleep, he took out one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh.  22)The Lord God then built up into a woman the rib that he had taken from the man.   When he brought her to the man, 23) the man said:”This one, at the last, is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; This one shall be called ‘woman’, for out of ‘her man’ this one has been taken.”   24)That is why a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, and the two of them become one body.   25)The man and his wife were both naked, yet thay felt no shame.

    When it was finished the Lord God told Adam and Eve that they must not eat from the ‘tree of knowledge’ good and evil.   The tree,  (apple tree) was in the center of   the Garden, and forbidden to touch. 

Chapter 3: The Fall of Man  verses:1-7

1)Now the serpent was the most cunning of all the animals that the Lord God had made.    The serpant asked the woman, “Did God really tell you not to eat of the trees in the garden?” 2)The woman answered the serpent: “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden; 3) it is only the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden God said,’You shall not eat it or even touch it lest you die.'” 4)But the serpent said to the woman, ” You certainly will not die.! 5)No, God knows well that the moment you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you be like gods who know what is good, and what is bad.”6) The woman saw that the tree was good for food, pleasing to the eyes , and desirable for gaining wisdom.   So she took some of its fruit and ate it; and she also gave it to her husband, who was with her, and ate it. 7)Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized that they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths for themselves.

   This act, of defiance brought forth original sin.   The original sin of Adam and Eve is ingrained unto and into each soul upon birth.   This is why we ‘must’ have baptism.   The stain of original sin is removed upon baptism; and yet temptation remains with us through out our lives.  

Jesus Christ the Son of God came to us on Christmas Day to live out the ‘Ten Commandments’ and the teachings of our Heavenly Father.

The Crucifixion of Jesus Christ completed the purification of the sins of mankind in that one perfect pure act.    Yet, obedience to God is a requirement; Through acceptance of the Son of God as Our Lord and Savior.
