Hi, friends! It’s been over a week since I’ve written on here. I’ve been coming up with something I can consider good (but particularly what the Holy Spirit wants me to write), but it’s just hard, since this is one of the most controversial chapters in the Bible. And, spoiler alert, you won’t see this for the last time. I sent a link of my previous post to a friend and she liked it 😊 — also, this passage is found in page 2 of my NKJV and NASB Bibles, pages 4-5 of the VOICE Bible copy I have, and page 4 of the Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy I bought long ago.
I won’t get into who blamed who a lot in any of this, because, let’s face it, it’s a total waste of time. I’ve been blamed of a lot of random things growing up, and it continued into my adulthood by a large extent — I think it was a spirit of blame or even Satan himself going after me since boyhood. I pray against it and rebuke him in the Name of Jesus!! Of course, we know that Adam and Eve disobeyed God, but we don’t know why. Yet I don’t think it was unforgivable what they were doing, though the legacy they made resulted in many horrifying things, including bad immigration laws trying to keep out foreigners that are trying to find safety here in the U.S. (There are people that are offended by this, but I don’t care because I’m ruthless 😂😂😂) Anyway, this is the first episode of shame that had happened as we see in the Bible, seeing that Eve probably was insecure about something. I don’t know if it was a womanly thing or not, but I guess the answer is for another time. I also pray that my niece, Bee, doesn’t get any evil spirits following her anywhere. It’s not worth it.
In verse nine, the Lord God said to Adam and Eve, “Where are you?” — though He know where they were very well. I think He was interested in having a conversation with them there, but He felt the first-ever disconnect from humans that day, too. Also, I think I should mention this now… the Lord God goes beyond gender. We call Him “He” because “She” would only refer to females, and men and women need each other. It’s not “God the Mother” or anything, you know? It’s weird how some congregations picture God as if He were female — yet His love is better than life (Psalm 63:3). Also, the content of verse 11 is worth mentioning; God says, “Who told you that you were naked?” Any ideas as to any reasons why God said this other than the disobedience and loss of connection thing? Let me know in the comments or in person (or by Facebook Messenger or Instagram direct), because I’m not putting this on any social media site. But Eve is right about the serpent deceiving her — I don’t know how it happened, but I can’t spend any time investigating the root causes of the fall of man.
The next several verses are difficult, and I don’t want to get a view in which it would be corrupt; plus, it’s easy to manipulate those next six verses — it’s easy to manipulate many parts of the Bible, unfortunately — and I want to be in the right mind when I write on the next several verses, so bear with me, now. Will I write on them next week? Well, here’s some good news: I don’t have work until next Wednesday, and Christmas is a paid holiday that everyone at my Fry’s store is taking! Now that’s some good news! But tomorrow, I’m actually going to church and I might hear a message or two over the next few days there. I’ve begun to have hard feelings about churches in general over the last two months, but I’ve been more than willing to come to my Two Rivers Awaken group since I first found out about it five years ago and when Jesus called me into it six months later. Have a question why these hard feelings have existed before? Ask me in the comments!
Hope you’re having a good Christmas so far! (Yeah, this is a weird place to be in during late December…)
