Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Oct 25, 2010

Truth And Consequences

Contributed by Horace Wimpey on Jan 25, 2014

As we look at the conversation between God and Adam and Eve in the Garden, we learn that there are always consequences to our actions.

The Tree Of Knowledge And The Tree Of Life

Contributed by Tarran Dookie on Jan 6, 2025

God did not forbid Adam and Eve to eat the fruit from the tree of life in the garden. However, once they ate of the forbidden tree of knowledge of good and evil they were driven out of the garden and cherubims and a flaming sword were placed to keep the way of the tree of life. Why was this done?

The Rejection Of Truth Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 10, 2001

In the story of Satan in the Garden we see the beginning of Relativistic Morality and the absurdity it now has reaped upon our society

OPEN: A famous preacher once joked from the pulpit: “In English they teach us that 2 negatives make a positive statement (i.e = "there’s no way I’m not going to go"). So the way I figure it, if I know I’m lying, and God knows I’m lying – I gotta be telling the truth.” APPLY: That strikes us as ...read more

The Day Of Temptation

Contributed by Darrell Jones on Mar 11, 2003

Several things the Bible records concerning the tactics satan used in the Garden of Eden. He is still at work in the same way.

Beware Of Witchcraft Manipulation.

Contributed by Adeolu Akin-Abraham on May 11, 2010
