3 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”how did the serpent get more crafty than all the other wild animals? was it from eating the fruit of the tree, or had it been created that way? so, in essence, eve may have seen it eating from the tree, and noticed it was indeed more crafty, and with "opened eyes" [wisdom/craftiness]. This would have swayed the doubts she might have had about eating the fruit, and made her waver in her faith and also in her trust in God. So, she submitted to the devil's tempting and ate it, simply because of what she saw. 4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.she [or they] "saw" the serpent had eaten the fruit and was still alive? |
The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:somewhere, in between God commanding adam not to eat from the tree, and eve repeating God's instructions to the wily serpent, the issue somehow arises of somebody touching the tree. God's original instructions did not say anything about touching, so eve included that in her conversation because either: 1. adam had specifically told her not to touch the tree, vis a vis a more detailed talk with God 2. she saw the serpent was already touching the fruit of the tree the second scenario brings to mind the possibility the serpent had already eaten some of the fruit before eve got there. |
genesis 2 15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. |
Genesis 3 3 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” |
^ 12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?” |
what exactly is innocent about the photo? ![]() |
how come moses who even wrote the book of genesis used the snake as a symbol of healing when the isrealites were dying?if you check the subject thoroughly, you'll find serpents are also called seraphs in ancient hebrew translations of the bible. seraphs are winged, have the form of serpents, and fiery, perhaps fire breathing. on earth [different environment and dimension], they'd take the form of dragons, for want of any other description. the brass snake moses used was lifted on a pole, typifying the fact that these seraphs fly. the original serpent in eden was reduced to a mere snake [no wings/flightless], and condemned to eat dust. the symbol of healing used by moses was referencing the angelic beings known as seraphs, which might be linked to purification. |
You're imagining things sweetie. Like i said, the topic might be above your cognition level. |
I just told you the serpent is different from snake, but somehow your cognition is unable to grasp any single exegesis here. |
You should try to drink the pulpy part of the orange juice. Its better even if not so smooth as the pulpless part. @ topic Who is "you" ? |
The chinese will soon take over garri processing, if care is not taken. Right now, their dodo is top notch. I hope nigerians are studying these things in relevant R& D ? |
why did you marry her son when you knew quite well that she didn't like you because of where you come from?i dont understand why women do this. if the opposition is very fierce, why would you go ahead with the relationship? ![]() wedding is different from marriage. after the wedding, wont you interact with the people who dislike you? una get strength sha |
but when you're looking for husband, you wont mind. . . . . . |
well, now we all see what the mil saw, which made her so antagonistic to the union. |
Wendyslim: Am a mother inlaw to be and shall not die cos i wont be a pest to my son or daughter inlaw. Gbamcheck yourself- something is wrong either with the way you raise your kids, your culture or you [ie your value system]. |
is it mandatory to marry someone your parents dont approve of? ![]() @ men. which mil is she referring to- the current one or the previous one. women these days are really something else. The way they just act and talk like people under some serious addictive substances, is mind boggling. |
acidtalk: Regina Askia : For those who can still remember the sudden union between Regina Askia and the reported Igbo business man who proposed and 'married' Regina Askia within 4months of their meeting. Unknown to Regina, he had a good bet with his friends that he could get Regina as his heartrob and even get her to marry him. All the Assets and valuables the Ibo business claimed to be his in which it was believed Regina fell for him was reported to belong to his friends. That discovery broke down Regina emotional and that was rumored to be the main reason for her sudden relocation to the US.at least yall didnt kill her, not so? would have been nice if cynthia had had that chance. |
no comment. |
Sweetlemon: I have experienced this with two guys Iv been close to. At the end of a chat session at night, when I say "good night" they say something like "Ok" or "thanks"more chat sessions to your belt. |
oh, this is you. ![]() |
i wonder why she keeps mentioning my name in every single one of her posts long after i've quit the thread. are you bisexual/lesbo? ![]() |
plaetton: I dont get you.can you support your claim from the bible. |
I hope it is not thesame evil spirit disturbing nigeria's power that is after this pregnant woman hereof course it is. |
interesting bio http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/09/my-life-is-full-of-blissful-moments-folorunso-alakija/ never heard of her before now sha, although i've heard of the alakijas in broadcasting. |
Or what they are renewing their vows, she can have a stylist turn it into something great and she can wear if again.hehehe, yes, just like that. |
Now, just curious, wondering why ojukwu had a thing for married women. Even his first wife, in her interview, said she used to be married to a ghanaian man and had two kids with him before later marrying ojukwu ( not sure she had any kids with ojukwu) |
Ndipe: She was adopted when Ojukwu and his then wife, Stella, lived in exile in Ivory Coast.She lived with her mother originally, then was adopted by ojukwu and his wife after a while. The mother was married but separated from her husband when she had the affair with ojukwu. She later either went back to the husband or married someone else after she had the child. |
mama-gee:Happens all the time, not only in nigeria. |
