Caregiveness And Corruption In Genesis
In Genesis several of the stories were misconduct, although the result of them shows the act of forgiveness. Starting with The Fall in Genesis God created the men, Adam and the woman, Eve they both had a command from above “From every fruit of the garden you may surely eat. But from the tree of knowledge, good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day you eat from it, you are doomed to die.”40 Unfortunately Eve decided to listen to the serpent to eat fruit from the garden and gave some to her man who also ate. They both have sin and God punished Eve and cursed Adam but God forgive them.as he claims, “Now that the human has become like one of us, knowing good and evil, he may reach out and take as well from the tree of life and live forever.”

    In the Bible Genesis 3:16,page 161 in our text book, God is talking to Adam and Eve after the apple tasting debacle and He says, “I will terribly sharpen your birth pangs, in pain shall you bear children. And for your man shall be your longing, and he shall rule over you.” As punishment for the sin, and clearly placing men above women in the hierarchy scale, He punishes Eve harshly. Adam gets in trouble as well but it was “ Because you listened to the voice of your wife and ate from the tree that I commanded you .You shall not eat from it.” This almost gives Adam a pass on the sin of eating the apple but gets Adam in trouble…

    They did mistake and fail to meet the Gods’ expectations. For the Genesis, Adam and Eve were enticed by a serpent and ate the fruit anyway even though they were warned before by the God. Feeling angry from their mistake, God forced them out of the Garden and began to be multiplied and full-filled in the earth. From another part of the Genesis, God was unhappy from what he created because the humans at that time were very greedy and did not follow God’s expectations. Therefore, he created a great flood on the earth, destroying everything and killing everyone from this flood. “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth,… for it repenteth me that I have made them.” (Genesis 70). In contrast, in the Popol Vuh, when animals, mud people and wood people could not reach Gods ‘expectations because they did not praise the creators as they wanted them to do. Therefore, Gods made a flood to kill all the mud and wood people. “The manikins, woodcarvings were killed when the Heart of Sky devised a flood for them.” (Popol Vuh 82). While God in Genesis gave humans a second chance to live by saving life for Noah’s family after destroying everything, Gods in Popol Vuh began to create the corn people after a flood to serve for their desire because they could praise the Gods and did everything that they…

    In Genesis, the story of Adam and Eve is set in the Garden of Eden. In the garden there was no sin, suffering or pain. Everyone was happy and had everything they wanted. The one thing God told Adam and Eve was to stay away from the tree of knowledge of good and evil and to not eat the fruit from that tree, yet that was too much to ask. “When the woman saw the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he also ate it” (Genesis 3:6). This sin had grave consequences such as “the eyes of both of them were opened and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig-leaves together and made coverings for themselves” (Genesis 3:7). Gene’s sin had similar results from when he shook the tree and Finny fell, his life changed largely. The impact of his actions struck him extremely hard and at once he became ashamed and embarrassed of what he did, just as Adam and Eve were of their nakedness so they…

    Adam 's sin, as recounted in the Book of Genesis is sometimes called in Hebrew (translated: the first sin of man, or Adam). The account in Genesis (2-3), implies that Adam and Eve initially in communion with God. God warned Adam not to eat the fruit of "the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil" (Genesis 2:15-17). The serpent persuaded Eve, who in turn persuaded Adam, to disobey this commandment. After eating of the fruit, they realised the mistake they had…

    It is truly amazing to find out how much God’s love is to mankind is. HE is a supreme being, because how can we explain the knowledge he possess. HE is a God of new beginnings and HE has existed before the world was even created. The bible says “In the beginning, God…” there was no account of how HE came into existence and the whole idea of what we are seeing today has been predetermined by HIM and it is still very much relevant to our lives today.…

    The point to see in Genesis is the reason that God was disgusted with “His” people, and how he controlled the situation. At the beginning of the book of Genesis, “God created man in his own image” (Genesis 1:27) , which gave His people a connection to Him, but, by Adam’s sin and essential separation from the unity of God, the world became wicked. In the book, “A Survey of the Old Testament”, the authors say, “The flood represented God’s punishment on the world, but also his grace” by sparing the human race and not obliterating humans totally (Hill and Walton 85). It was justice that God was demonstrating by the flood, and the act of God sparing Noah was the act of God’s mercy and love that is not demonstrated in the Epic of…

    In both Genesis and Popol Vuh, humans were created by their gods. The gods created nature and all creatures before creating humans. The humans were the god’s last creations. Both gods were dissatisfied with the humans and punished them. One of the punishments was the floods in both stories, nearly killing all living things. “A great flood was made; it came down on the heads of the manikins, woodcarvings.” (Page 82, Popol Vuh). Now humans are imperfect, having flaws and sinful.…

    Are there differences in the inspired narratives of Genesis 1 and 2? Of course there are. Many also scholars argue that Genesis 1:1-2:4a and Genesis 2:4b-25 are products of two different sources. It reflect different authors, different time periods, etc. It is further charged that the narratives contradict each other in several particulars. Genesis 1 and 2 provide accounts of what God did during creation. But these two chapters don’t seem to agree. It seem like Genesis 1:1-2:4a and Genesis 2:4b-2 are different from each other in many ways. First, each of these two sections of Genesis contains a different introduction for the creation story. Genesis 1 launches with the eloquent and imminently quotable, "In the beginning God created the heavens…

    In the book of Genesis, it says that the Lord created the world in seven days and in the last day he took a rest and looked at his work. When he saw that his work was good, he decided to create a man and a woman to continue the world and have it be populated with him humans. After God tells the man and the woman about the garden and where they’re allowed to go and what they are allowed to touch. He explains you cannot touch the tree with the forbidden fruit on them or else they will die. The man and woman agree to God’s rules and regulations, until a serpent comes along and persuades the woman to take from the forbidden tree first. The woman is hesitant but then eventually agrees with the snake and takes a bite. She also gets the man to take a bite. God sees all of this and ascends from heaven and reprimands the couple and punishes them. Before the man and woman see God, they realize they are naked and being to make clothes out of leaves and hide themselves from God. God asks why they did something he told them not to do. The man blamed the woman and the woman blames the serpent. All in all, since all three creatures God created were in the wrong, God punished the man so that he’ll have to earn everything he wants by working hard for the rest of his life. God punished the woman by giving her excruciating pains during child birth. Lastly, the serpent was punished by being stripped of his legs and must lay on his belly to get to his destination and that all will quiver at the sight of a serpent.…
