Genesis 3 Questions
In between eating the fruit and sharing it with Adam, what was Eve thinking? Did misery want company? Or did she think she was sharing something good, since no curses had happened? Was there a gradual realization that hadn't really hit her yet or was there an instant insight that left her immediately wishing to share this painful knowledge? Or happy knowledge? Man, you gotta try this. I notice people always want to share mind-changing substances and very few spend much energy on peer pressure for broccoli.
What was the root of the problem- eating the fruit, touching the fruit or listening to the serpent at all? Did those other animals talk? Did they already know that serpent? God gave Eve and Adam a chance to give an excuse, but didn't listen to the serpent and just cursed them all with consequences involving dust. Today it hit me that the serpent would end up eating what man would become.
What was the comparison between the fig leaf aprons and the God-made leather outfits? I don't picture long robes, and was there a big difference in quality when they had to make their own after the initial ones wore out?
How long did that revolving flaming sword stick around?
What did the earth outside the garden look like before it was cursed?
Did they forget that God had already seen them naked?
Did they talk to that snake again?
What would they have been doing if they had not started tilling? Lolling?
Did those leather clothes have seams or linings, and how did his compare to hers?
