  Scripture:  Romans 5:12

  Tags:  Marriage, Sin, Adam And Eve, Garden Of Eden

  Denomination: Evangelical/Non-Denominational

Adam and his two sons, Cain and Abel, were out hunting one day when Adam turned and started staring at something beautiful afar off. It was the Garden of Eden. Then Adam broke down and starting weeping.

The boys didn’t understand. Finally, Abel asked his father, "Dad, why are you crying over this place?"

Adam looked up and said, "Boys, that is where I used to live.......until Momma ate us out of house and home!"

Eve may have started it.

But Adam sure finished it.

And God held Adam responsible for the sin - Romans 5:12.

If you and I had been Adam and Eve ---- we would have done the same thing. We have the same nature.
