Adam and Eve, the first couple in the area East of Eden, were evicted by their landlord, the great I AM, last week for violating the only rule to remain in this utopian garden home. They had resided there since the sixth day of the world. Their garden home was located just East of Eden, and was fed by four major rivers, the Pishon, the Euphrates, the Gihon and the Hiddekel. Adam, famous for naming all the animals, was quick to point out that the eviction was not his fault but caused by his wife Eve. He states that God had told him that he could eat of all the vegetation in the garden except the fruit of the Tree of Good and Evil. He further states that he told his wife about the restriction, but she continued to pass by the tree daily. Adam, a farmer by trade, admitted that the fruit looked good to eat and wasn�t sure why they couldn�t eat of it but maintained his distance anyway. Eve, when asked why she ate of the fruit blamed a serpent. She stated that while passing by the tree a serpent standing by the tree called to her. She began talking to him though her woman�s intuition told her not to. He asked her why she didn�t eat any of the fruit as he could see that she wanted to. Eve says she told him that if she were to eat of the fruit that she would die, whatever that meant as she had never seen anything die in her short life. The serpent, she states, told her she would not die and that God had just lied to her to keep her subservient. He then reached out and touched the bark of the tree and said, �See I didn�t die.� He then plucked a fruit from the tree and gave it to her. Eve says that just after she took a bite and realized how good it tasted, Adam came upon her and the serpent. Upon seeing what she had done and that she didn�t die, he also took a bite. It was then that they both realized that they did not have any clothes on and they promptly hid in the bushes. Adam relates that later in the evening , God walked through the garden as was his usual custom and not seeing Adam He called for him. Adam said that since they were naked, he and Eve had hidden. God asked him how he knew he was naked, and that was when the conversation began to go from bad to worse. Both Eve and Adam agree that had they been honest and open with God that perhaps they could have stayed. However Adam blamed God for giving him Eve, even going so far as to say �This woman YOU gave me.� Then when God asked Eve about the fruit, she blamed the serpent saying that he had beguiled her. The serpent didn�t have anyone to blame so he just shrugged his shoulders �-for the last time. God told Adam that his days of easy farming were over and that the ground would be hard to get food out of. For Eve he told her she would have pain in childbirth, which she did not totally understand not having felt pain nor childbirth. He also said that Adam would be over her. She wasn�t sure which she disliked the most pain or Adam as a boss, but figured the latter. As for the serpent, He took away the serpent�s legs and arms and ability to speak and made him crawl on the ground. God told the snake that the woman�s seed would crush the serpent�s head. God then escorted Adam and Eve from the garden. When asked how things were going now both said they wished they could take back their decision to disobey. And they both restated their belief that if they had repented instead of making excuses the outcome may have been different. Adam said that he misses the quite talks with God and feels like something inside him curled up and died. Eve also states she understands the pain in childbirth comment now that she is pregnant. She says every time the baby kicks it feels like he is just raising Cain with her insides, and hopes that her pregnancy is not as long as the elephants. When God was asked for a comment, He just shook his head and mumbled something about humans and free will. As God turned away, the writer thought he heard Him say something about a Cross, but perhaps He was just saying he was cross with Adam. Gabriel Staff Writer |
