as an unattractive entity. On the other hand, it is possible to see Satan’s seductive nature and avoid choosing him over God. In their military-like discussion under Satan’s leadership, fallen angels decide to stay in hell while Satan goes alone to Eden, willing to conduct their plan of destroying the humankind. Along his way Satan finds Sin. Sin is Satan’s child born by his disobedience towards God. Sin is attractive but somewhat wicked. These qualities are exactly fits what Satan thinks, making

At first I thought this issue is merely cultural, now however, I think it goes deeper; this is a creation issue. In the Garden of Eden God made everything and it was good. The God told Adam to “take care” of the Garden (Gen. 2:15), Adam’s family was to “take care” of the earth. God wanted them both to use and to preserve. But Adam’s family had to remember that they were made of dust. They were not God; they were finite, not infinite. To live, they needed to eat. So although God gave them the right

The debacle, the war between good and evil, as defined by the author, begins with the telling of creation tales, as the Danes were “[t]elling with mastery of man’s beginnings” (91). Their creation tale is explained as glorious, supernatural, and blessed. Grendel, “whom the creator outlawed,” a seed of Cain, is deemed “a fiend out of hell” (106, 100). Based on context, it appears that Grendel may have at one point been on the “inside,” but because of a murderous act and sin, he is now known as an

Satan did not only encourage them to break the commandment that God gave them, he also gave them false assurance that nothing would happen to them if they disregard the commandment of God. In this regard, the serpent did not force them to disobey their Master, he used the power of persuasion to lead them to disobedience. That power of persuasion was based on lies. He lied about their liberty to disregard the commandments of God, and he also gave them a false assurance to comfort them about the consequences

The bible tells us the reason why human becomes mortal in chapter 3 of Genesis. As a result of the disobedience of Adam and Eve at the garden of Eden, instead of having everlasting life, human becomes mortal. It becomes inevitably that we will age and died.

Lying is the most committed sin. Everyday people lie whether small or big. Every human knows that lying should not be exercised, but sometimes, in certain situations, lying is necessary due to the consequences of telling the truth. In the Bible, James 3:8, quoted is “But no human being can tame the tongue, it is a relentless evil, full of deadly poison.” This quote says that lying happens frequently; no one can resist it. It also says lying is deadly, which is also shown in the Bible within the

Although these creation stories differ among cultures, all display similar characteristics which constitute archetypal settings of creation myths, such as a great tree, the landmass from a watery chaos, and the fall of man. In the Iroquois’ creation myth, “The World on the Turtle’s Back”, the display of archetypal settings parallels the creation depicted in the

the serpent is depicted as a negative force. It is the thing that denies humanity of immortality or some pleasure. In the Bible the serpent is a sign of temptation.

Genesis says that there is one god and Popol Vuh says there are many, both stories are about the trial and error the gods face while trying to create humanity.
