Reading Notes: Adam and Eve

 Adam and Eve

The LORD God created a man: Adam and did not want him to be lonely so also created Eve. He created cattle and land for them to live on. He told them they could not eat the fruit from one tree and that they would be okay. But they disobeyed and ate that fruit so God sent the man to another land. No man to come ever compared to Adam. God showed all the history to Adam. God knew Adams brain when he named all of the animals. Adam created all the languages and all we know so we owe it to him. Adam had amazing characteristics which began to rouse jealousy from the angels. most of all in Satan. God invited the angels to come meet Adam but Satan, the strongest angel refused. Satan wanted to challenge Adam. Satan tried to name the animals but failed each time. Satan refused to like Adam and tried to challenge God with it so God released Satan and put him onto earth and that became the first time satan and mankind knew each other. 

God put Adam back to sleep to give him wife so they could multiply but the earthly creatures began to worry that there would not be enough for more people. God gave Adam Lilith but she ran away and did not want to be his wife so God punished her by making her not have children and she accepted. God realized that making women was much harder. Considering Eve brought sin into the world. The first wedding was a big celebration for Adam and Eve. Now people pass through the Garden of Eden on their way to heaven, it is one of the seven stops. The first portal is the Cave of Machpelah. The second is the gate of Paradise where you are taken by a sword if you are not worthy. The third is Zebul which is the portal to heaven. There lies the two trees. The tree of life and the tree of knowledge. Amount God creations was the serpent. He stood as a man but was very manipulative, he is the reason that Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit. That was the first sin and God wanted to let them repent for what they have done. But Adam did not confess. Therefore God put space between Adam and Eve. God stripped Adam of this clothing and gave Eve ten curses 


Here is a picture of Adam and Eve and the serpent about to manipulate them.
