Genesis 3 Part 1

Genesis 3 more theology, The Fall, Satan's appearance, and the outcomes of it all.. This can be looked at as the worst chapter in the bible, and in human history.  If you have ever felt like God can't love you because your to bad of a person this chapter should help you cope with your transgressions.  I have to answer 2 questions that may bother some believers, WHEN did Lucifer rebel against God? And perhaps the better question, WHY?????  Lucifer was an archangel, his name literally means in Hebrew "Shining one" get out of Genesis for now and go to Isaiah 14:12-17 and read about how he was referred to and particular his pride show in verses 14 and 15.... He says 5 I will's to show you the impudence and arrogance of his pride AGAINST God in heaven.  And in 15 you get the understanding of death to those who pridefully want to be just like God.  Which is exemplified in Genesis 3:5 which I am back into.  He took the form in his fall (right after creation) as a serpant (2 Corinthians 11:3) and we all know the story, Eve (not being with Adam at the time) was temptable, she never sinned, but she could reason out things.  There is an interesting note (as written by Paul in 2nd Corinthians 11:4) that because Eve seemed to respond to him so well, that though he appeared as a serpant, did he also appear as an angel of the light shortly afterwards?  Anyway, enough about Satan, let's jump ahead to verse 8, when they heard God walking, again the physical embodiment of God in man's form?  Either way, you get a rather contradictory statement of God looking not so omniscient in 3:9 when he asks "Where are you?"  If you read Psalms 139: 1-12 you learn that THEY CAN'T HIDE FROM GOD, NO ONE CAN.  This was God's way of getting them to confess, yet instead they didn't confess anything in 10.  So now we get MORE THEOLOGY in 11, we're gonna go on kind of a rabbit chase here.  God knew Adam and Eve ate from the tree, it was obvious in the change of their nature, he just wanted them to acknowledge it and repent.  This is actually a very merciful verse, God is dealing with sinners in the way that God does in awaiting repentance for the evil deeds you do, for God already knows them.  If God was Just in his Judgement and without Mercy, Adam and Eve would have been obliterated right there, God cannot be in the presence of Sin he cannot stand it, it is all that seperates him from his creation.  If you think all the blame gets put on Eve, then you never read verse 12.  Adam makes a last ditch and prideful effort of his reluctance in repenting; by putting the blame on God and Eve. And Adam wasn't tempted, think about that.  He wasn't decieved by Satan, Eve was (2nd Timothy 1:14).  Adam had no reason but his own for eating the fruit, so Adam is absolutely not blameless.  This is gonna be part 1 of 2, to many theological implications to try to get past.  I will have the rest finished by tomorrow morning, peace out brothers and sisters, and may the God of Mercy reveal himself in your lives.
