Genesis 3:11-19
Pointing fingers at each other!
No one wanted to take blame
Adam said it’s the woman, the woman said it’s the serpent 🎯
But none of them were innocent
God being a God of justice he knew each one played a part in this matter,so each one received their own punishment!
The woman received her own punishment because she allowed herself to be deceived, she had a choice since she knew the truth,but she chose to take what is desirable to the eye!
The serpent got his share of punishment for deceiving the woman (Eve)!
Adam got his share of punishment because the woman offered him the fruit and Adam took the offering!
11.He said, “I heard you in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked. And I hid.” GOD said, “Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat from that tree I told you not to eat from?” The Man said, “The Woman you gave me as a companion, she gave me fruit from the tree, and, yes, I ate it.”
GOD said to the Woman, “What is this that you’ve done?” “The serpent seduced me,” she said, “and I ate.”
GOD told the serpent: “Because you’ve done this, you’re cursed, cursed beyond all cattle and wild animals, Cursed to slink on your belly and eat dirt all your life. I’m declaring war between you and the Woman, between your offspring and hers. He’ll wound your head, you’ll wound his heel.”
