In Genesis 3 verse 11, God asked Adam a question: "Who told you that you were naked"?

Let's start from the beginning.

Before God created humans, God has always been existing gloriously in eternity. If God has decided to not create humans (or anything at all), God will still be fine in Himself. However, as an expression of His nature of love, He decided to create humans and place them on earth where He can share His love and dominion with us.

Since humans came from God, He is our Source, and we are meant to be connected to Him to keep flourishing. However, after Adam and Eve sinned against God by yielding the counsel of the devil, God asked Man "Where are you?" (Genesis 3:9).

Note that this question wasn't about the geographical location of Adam and Eve, since God knows all things. However, God was asking: "whose side are you now?"

And when Adam lamented that he was naked, God then asked him: "Who told you that you were naked"?

In other words, "what have you been listening to that is telling you what I'm not saying?"

This is the same question you must answer today. Have you been embracing ideologies and trends contrary to the Will of God?

You are meant to flourish by living your life in accordance with God's Word, and not popular opinions. God is your Source, and you can only be fulfilled in Him.

Today, there are many evil voices people are listening to that are bringing discomfort to their spirit, soul and body. Voices of lesbianism, homeosexualism, immorality, greed, selfishness, pride, indecency, love of money, and so on.

Anything anyone is saying that is contrary to God's Word should be discarded, because they will only strip you of your true supernatural identity as a child of God if you obey them.

Therefore, you should get yourself familiar with the Word of God in a time as this.

The first step is to have the Word of God reside in you. Jesus is the Word of God, and you should embrace Him as your Lord and Savior.

Say this simple prayer:

"LORD JESUS, I believe in my heart that You died for me and You raised on the third day for my justification. And so I confess with my mouth that You are my Lord and Savior. From today, I belong to the family of God. Thank You for giving me eternal life."

God bless you.

Please, ignore the evil trends and opinions of the devil and his evil worldly system. Obey God only in all things, and it shall be well with you in all ways. Jesus is Lord.

Happy Sunday everyone. Jesus loves you

So why do you think Satan wasn't punished immediately?

Bruh this whole religion matter get as e be, if it works for you fine!

My questions are:

Wasn't the biblical God already aware before creating Adam the choices and actions Adam would make?

Why allow Lucifer/Satan a place to deceive them?

Why didn't the biblical God forgive Adam there and then and save Himself the stress of having to later kill himself/a part of himself or His son?

Yes He was! Like we are all aware that our children can either pass or fail Junior WAEC.

YET, THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO PASS!

AntiChristian:

Why allow Lucifer/Satan a place to deceive them?

To disgrace the evil Fool as Job did to him.

But Adam messed up big time.

AntiChristian:

Why didn't the biblical God forgive Adam there and then and save Himself the stress of having to later kill himself/a part of himself or His son?..

It is not a stress or bother to Him so you don't have to stress for Him. After all, it is not your stress!

God’s first ever question to man.

“Who told you you were naked?”

chatinent:

Where was Satan mentioned in the story and why would Satan need to be punished?

AntiChristian:
1. My questions are:Wasn't the biblical God already aware before creating Adam the choices and actions Adam would make?

2. Why allow Lucifer/Satan a place to deceive them?

3. Why didn't the biblical God forgive Adam there and then and save Himself the stress of having to later kill himself/a part of himself or His son?

1. So?

2. Why not?

3. Why should he have done that when the law clearly states that Adam would die if he disobeyed - Genesis 3 vs 15 - 17 and Adam by his choice accepted the consequence of his action?

[quote author=AntiChristian post=117191914]My questions are:

Wasn't the biblical God already aware before creating Adam the choices and actions Adam would make? The question is, is God aware of the choices we would make? It is not revealed if God has knowledge of our future choices but we are told that he knows the future. I really can't tell if he knows all our future choices.

Why allow Lucifer/Satan a place to deceive them? The question is why allow satan to deceive us? remember, we too are open to satans vices. God wants us to overcome sin and satan. We wouldn't overcome unless we pass through satan's temptations.

Why didn't the biblical God forgive Adam there and then save Himself the stress of having to later kill himself/a part of himself or His son?

How do you know God did not forgive Adam? You don't need to assume.

“Who told you you were naked?”

Yes, its true that God asked that rhetorical question.

Its kind of similar to talking to a mirror, asking:
Mirror, mirror on the wall, cant you see that what you're showing me, is not flattering me, not praising me nor paying me good compliments?

God is omniscient. Omniscient, in layman's terms, means, knows everything

AntiChristian:
Why allow Lucifer/Satan a place to deceive them?

1 Corinthians 10:13
'No temptation [regardless of its source] has overtaken or enticed you that is not common to human experience
[nor is any temptation unusual or beyond human resistance];
but God is faithful [to His word—He is compassionate and trustworthy],
and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability [to resist],
but along with the temptation He [has in the past and is now and] will [always] provide the way out as well,
so that you will be able to endure it [without yielding, and will overcome temptation with joy].'

in light of 1 Corinthians 10:13 above, why wouldnt God, allow Lucifer/Satan a place to deceive them

AntiChristian:

It doesnt work like that, and thats because governing decree(s), procedure(s) or system of rules et cetera need to be respected, these all, in the spirit of fulfilling all forms of righteousness

_{Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.}

"And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ." Colossians 3:23‭-‬24 NKJV

In all you do today, choose to honour the Lord your Creator.

Happy Sunday everyone. God bless you all in Jesus Name. Amen

So many things/questions to ask but we are afraid.

I still think Genesis is Hebrew own version of creation just like our own local tales
