Adam and Eve |
||
Adam (Hebrew: Adam, "man")
and Eve (Hebrew: havva, "living
one")
were the first man and woman created by God,
according to the Bible and the Qur'an.
________________ The story of Adam and Eve is found in the first few chapters of the Book of Genesis. The most popular version of that account says that God created a man and a woman and placed them in the Garden of Eden where they were tempted by the Devil, expelled from the garden by God, and subsequently populated the world.. It is the source of many of the most important symbols in Western religion, including the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the Fall and Satan as a serpent. TheMormon view The Latter-day Saint attitude regarding Adam and Eve differs from all other religions. Adam is the father and patriarch of the human race on the earth. The transgression in the garden of Eden was necessary to the advancement and spiritual progress of humanity on this earth. Adam is the Ancient of Days and is also the archangel Michael. He will come again to the earth as the patriarch of the human family preparatory to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. They also teach that Adam had a pure and perfect language that was both written and spoken, that he was taught the gospel of JesuChrist, that he was baptized in water and received the Holy Ghost and that he was visited personally by the Lord |
CORRECTIONS Garden of Eden: The word "Garden" is used interchangeably with "paradise". "Eastward" can be translated as "beyond". "Eden" is a form of Adam meaning "spiritual" God placed paradise beyond the spiritual. Tree of the knowledge of good and evil A tree is an organic system. Knowledge is not choice. It is experience. A better translation would be the system of experiencing good and evil. She ate the fruit of the tree It is a simple matter of translation. The word "Eat" can also be "absorb". The word "fruit" can also be "result". Thus: She took of the resultt thereof, and did absorb it, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did absorb it |
