The Fall & Adam and Eve

    © 10 Colin Melbourne

    Naked Rebellion

    Q: In Genesis Ch. 3, Eve is confronted by the serpent as it tempted her to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which she gave to Adam. Why didn’t Eve see they were naked before Adam ate, and why did Adam not chastise Eve, and rebuke her for listening to the serpent, or rebuke the serpent and cast it out of the garden?

    All my life I have heard the teachings that it was all Eve’s fault for the fall of humanity, and that women have no place in holding leadership in the Body of Christ. I don’t know Greek or Hebrew and would love to know what the original scripture has to say about this issue. Darlene

      Which is the Best Bible Translation?

        © 98 Colin Melbourne

        The Best Holy Bible translation is not a book at all.

        Who Wrote The Bible?

        The Holy Bible Scriptures were Authored by Almighty God, not by men.

        Moses and Paul were not the authors. Nor were James, Peter or Matthew, and the rest. God Himself, The Lord Jesus Christ, Authored them through those believers as they were inspired by His Spirit. See 2 Tim. 3:16 and 2 Pe. 1:21 KJV;

                    He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

                    Rev. 21:7-8 KJV

                      Why are people afraid of dying?

                      Because after death comes Judgment. All men instinctively know this to be the case, that is why natural man fears death.

                        © 06 Colin Melbourne

                        Part 1 of 4

                        God wants you to lose all fear of death, and enjoy His abundant life. But before you can truly live, you need to understand death.

                        What is Death, why does it occur, what happens after you die? Is death the end, or is there a Judgment to face?

                            Be certain you are really Born Again, and forever assured of your salvation. You’ve spent long enough in sin, guilt, fear, loneliness, and confusion.

                            The Holy Bible, God’s written word, describes exactly How to begin a New Life, and rest at Peace with God. The LORD wants you in no doubt. Be confident of a place in Heaven. Settle it right now, make sure that you are saved.

                            Get right with God now

                                The Counsels of the Hearts

                                Q: If a person’s conscience is clear when they die, does that mean they’ll go to heaven?

                                A: Absolutely not! Access to Glory is by The LORD Jesus Christ alone, never through self-justification. Christ made that crystal clear when He said, Jn. 14:6 KJV;

                                 I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

                                  Are you troubled by a guilty conscience?

                                  God does not want you to be plagued by guilt. He wants to lift that burden from your shoulders, and give you a clear conscience.

                                  What is your conscience, and why do you have one?

                                  Born of God: Burden Gone

                                  God took away your guilty conscience.

                                      And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed.

And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount of God.
