Revealed: The Reason God Allowed the Evil Serpent in Eden
Manage episode 411769231 series 2906683
The Garden of Eden is the closest place to paradise, the home of a loving God. Why would He allow an evil Serpent to enter?
God refurbished Earth and created humans, whom He placed in His HQ Garden of Eden, to rule and socialize. Knowing only God, the couple was in a Godly state of mind. But one element in this paradisiac picture looks out of place, The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil which leads to death.
Why would a good God plant an evil Tree in the midst of His Garden? Why would God tell Adam NOT to eat of this Tree? If God didn't want Adam and Eve to eat the fruit of that nauseous Tree, why plant it in front of them in the first place?
Is all of this a fictitious myth? Make-believe? The imaginations of ancient authors? These events are the first five minutes of the plot of humankind's story. If we cannot answer these questions with Bible-corroborated replies, we cannot correctly assemble the puzzle of why God placed humans on Earth.
To top it off, an incredible event took place. God allowed an evil Serpent into His Garden. The story says God threw Adam and Eve into the lion's den. That isn't an allegory, "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil (the evil Serpent), as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour:" 1 Peter 5:8. All hell broke loose in the Garden and continues to this day in our world.
In this short episode, numerous fundamental questions about God and humans cry out for solid Biblical answers. How good is God, considering He's at the origin of these events? He could've not planted the Tree of Good and Evil. He could've prevented this evil Serpent from breaking into the Garden. By the way, God could've simply put an end to the Serpent; why didn't He? Why did He allow the couple to choose whether or not to eat from the forbidden Tree? Did God know ahead of time they'd eat the forbidden fruit?
The outcome was Adam and Eve's reasoning ability was drastically altered by their decision-making abilities to the point that instead of enjoying the openness and beauty of the Garden, they hid from their Creator in the obscurity of a clump of trees. their mental stability took a turn for the worse. That's why we've got to go back to the beginning and answer such fundamental questions.
