Something I did not see earlier was Eve was deceived (she was never given the command from God not to eat of the tree, Adam was before she was created. See Gen. 2:16-17). Adam was openly disobedient and blatantly blamed God and Eve. “The man said, ‘The woman whom You gave to be with me (Blame!), she gave me from the tree, and I ate (Adam’s rationalization)’” (Gen 3:12, NASB).
Then God gave Adam an order “You are free to eat from any of the trees of the garden except the tree of knowledge of good and bad. If you eat from that tree you will died god said. Then God put Adam in a deep sleep and the god took out one of Adam ribs and closed it up with flesh. Then God created a woman in his own image and name her Eve. Then God told Adam and Eve to be fertile and multiply.
Specifically meaning, the nature of God is monotheistic. Genesis 1-3 consists of the creation of the world, the creation of man and woman, and the fall. The creation of the world explains how God made the world in seven days. Within the creation of the world, the narrative describes how God made everything. He made the night, day, sky, water, earth, animals, plants and stars.
God trusted him to take care of the garden and pick the names out for all the animals. God and Adam had relationship with each other. He respected the creator and love him for all the great things God done for him. Adam and Eve wanted to know how it feel to have good and evil (Sharpe.2014. pp.3).
After reading The Federalist Papers #10, 48, and 51 I believe that James Madison saw human nature as being selfish and self-centered, "Ambition must be made to counteract ambition" (319). Madison continues on to explicate on his previous thought, "It may be a reflection of human nature that such devices should be necessary to control the abuses of government" (319). The devices that he talks about are the checks and balances that Madison declares that the government needs. The government needs the checks and balances because Madison believes that trusting one man to govern everything just feeds the selfishness inside the chosen man, "If men were angels, no government would be necessary" (319).

1. Genesis 3: 1-5 (Temptation) The serpent was smarter and wiser than the other beasts/ animals. Was the serpent a snake before “The Fall”? He knows that God gave the instructions to Adam and not directly to the woman.
Their God at the beginning of the
God, the figure who watches over all 7 billion humans on Earth, and gives each one hope through their difficult journey. Due to the immense amount of injustice in the world, acts that go against God’s wishes are abundant and inevitable. Usually God does grant forgiveness for people who ask for it, but for the few who don’t, God inflicts the harshest punishments on them. For example, people that disturb Mother Nature can cause storms, climate change, and even death to the innocent. These consequences are all caused by the wrath of God.
The story of Adam and Eve is quite similar until “the fall” of mankind occurs. It is around this point that the story starts to differ, as it appears in the story of Enkidu that there were other human inhabitants on the earth, while Adam and Eve are the first humans to be created in according to the Biblical account. However, another similarity can be drawn between the facts that the harlot in Enkidu’s story was the one to entice him, while Eve was also the one that the serpent used to entice Adam in Genesis. As stated earlier, there were many parts of the story that were quite different from the story of Adam and Eve, but drawing the comparison between the two helped me to flesh out some of the plot of the story of
“Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being” (The Bible Genesis 2:7).According to this scripture Adam was the first man created, but before Adam there was of course God, whom is male. Adam was given power over the sea, animals and the land. He had power and
Although they are derived from different cultures and faiths, both Noah’s Ark story and The Epic of Gilgamesh portray the wrath of God or gods on disobedient and ignorant people by a flood. God is portrayed as annoyed and enraged in Noah’s Ark story and in The Epic of Gilgamesh. The Gods are dissatisfied about mankind’s actions. However in Noah’s Ark, God sees that in every human’s heart there are only evil intentions and people are marrying whomever they desire despite having morals and respect for other people’s wives. In the story God reinstates the fact that he has made man mortal and that they will die one day, but he still wishes to kill them now because they a disobeyed him.
However, throughout the book, trickery and deception play a key role in the tales told. The third chapter shows the first ever act of deception, which takes place in the Garden of Eden. The “craftiest” animal of all, the serpent, tricks Adam and Eve into doing exactly what God told them not to do--eating forbidden fruit from the Garden of Eden (Gen 3:1-13) From the moment Eve ate the fruit, we are overwhelmed with stories of deception and trickery. One of the most significant and well known tales of deception in Genesis is the story of Jacob.
The story of Adam and Eve serves as a tale on how mankind and womankind were created and placed on Earth. The story takes place in the Garden of Eden, and because the woman was deceived by the Serpent, both the women and the man were cast down to earth. The Serpent deceived the women by allowing her to eat the fruit from the forbidden tree, as she also influenced the man, God punished both. “Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.” (Genesis 3:16 NIV) and that He allowed “Adam (to) named his wife Eve” (Genesis 3:20 NIV).
From the beginning God was the only being till he decided to create earth. Then came man. God, being such a perfect God created man after His own image (Gen 1:27 God created man is His own image, in the image of God He created them.) He crafted man with his hands and breathed life into humans. However,
