Tree of Life

Tree of Life: trees function How would they have understood the tree of life without knowing what death meant? Does Gen 2:16 imply they could eat of the tree of life? Cf. Gen 3:22; Rev. 22

3 Views of the Tree of Life: Tree’s meaning Magical View: eat fruit live forever--magical fruit Health Food view: perfect nutrients -- live forever Sacramental view: symbolized fellowship with God/life

Tree of the knowledge of good and evil How would they know what “evil” meant? Why would God put this tree in the garden? Choice necessary for moral agents Choice and love

Does the serpent speak the truth? Gen 3:5, 22 They do become more like God –what’s the problem?

More Like God?

Temptation Gen 3:6 cf. 1 Jn 2:16 Lust of the flesh Lust of eyes Pride of life Man’s dilemma... only thing he knows is not good

Results of Fall God & man: man goes into hiding From Presence [Immanuel]  Absconditus Humans & all nature--groans: Rom 8:22 People & self: body --> dust Man & woman: conflict/blaming

Curses Serpent: Woman Eat dust 2 Seeds: Proto-evangelium Gen 3:15 3:15 enmity to serpent 3:16 relationship to self – pain Fighting against the curse 3:16 relationship to husband--Desire

What is the “woman’s desire”? What does Gen 3:16b mean? Sexual desire? Desire to be subservient Gen 4:7 parallel Conflict/power struggle in marriage

Male & Female in Genesis Woman “help” (ezer) to Adam ... God is called an “ezer” does that mean He is inferior (Ps 33:20; Hos 13:9) Eve named by Adam ... Adam named animals shows he is master No--shows he recognizes her character Havah -- mother of all living, the hope

Male and Female in Genesis Gal 3:28 as model Eph 5:22 remember Eph 5:21 (context) Beware power grabbing // victim status

Man’s curse Is work a curse? Futile work (toil and unproductive) Man’s struggle with the dust

Why was Cain’s offering rejected Meat offering versus Cereal offering? Shedding of blood = Abel’s Cain’s no blood shed Cain Question: Am I my brothers keeper? Good brother / bad brother phenomena Competitive nature -- jealousy Sibling rivalry Sense of failure -- hatred/anger Cain’s curse – wanderer, absconditus

Flood: Son’s of God Who were the Sons of God? Gen 6 Why did God get so ticked at their marrying the daughters of men, hamas Sethite view Kings/nobles view Angel view Job 1:6 // Heb. 13:2 But Matt 22:30 says angels don’t marry

What does it mean God was sorry? Gen 6:6: “The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain.” Is there grief [tears] in heaven? Can God be sorry over something he has done? Can God change his mind?

Noah’s curse on... Gen. 9:25f What did Ham do or fail to do? Where did Ham’s descendants settle? Was this the curse that enslaved Africans? Who was actually cursed? Is it right that children suffer for sins of parents? Is that a reality? Apple and tree
