Creating Adam and Eve.

Alexander Suulimov. Adam and Eva

Adam and Eve were created by God on the likeness of him for the sixth day of creation. Adam was created "from the dust of the earth." God endowed his soul. According to the Jewish calendar, Adam was created in the 3760th year BC. e.

God settled Adam in the Garden of Eden and allowed there to be fruits from any tree, except for the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Adam was supposed to cultivate and store the Eden Garden, as well as to give names to everyone created by God, animals and birds. Eve was created as Adam's assistant.

The creation of Eva from the edge of Adam emphasizes the idea of \u200b\u200bhuman duty. The text of being is emphasized that "is not good to be a person one." The creation of a wife is one of the main intentions of God - providing a person's life in love, for "God is love, and the abiding in love is in God, and God in it."

The first person is the crown of the world created by God. He has a royal dignity and is the Lord of the Novosvativny World.

Where was the Eden Garden?

We are already accustomed to the emergence of sensational messages that the place was found where the Eden Garden was found. Of course, the location of each "discovery" differs from the previous one. The Bible describes the area around the garden, and even used recognizable toponyms, such as Ethiopia, and the name of four rivers, including Tiger and Euphrates. This led many, including the Bible researchers, to the conclusion that the paradise garden was somewhere in the Middle East region, known today as the valley of the Tiger River and Euphrates.

To date, there are several versions of the location of the Eden Garden, none of which has a good evidence.

Temptation.

It is not known how long Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden (according to the book of Jubileev, Adam and Eva lived in the Garden of Eden 7 years) and were in a state of purity and innocence.

Snake, who "was cunning all the animals of the field, who created the Lord God", tricks and cunning convinced Eve to try the fruit of the forbidden wood of the knowledge of good and evil. Eva refuses, referring to God, who forbade them to eat from this tree and promised death to anyone who tastes this fetus. Snake tempts Eve, promising that, having tasted the fetus, people will not die, but will become the gods knowing good and evil. It is known that Eva could not stand the temptation and made the first sin.

Why exactly the snake acts as a symbol of evil?

Snake is an important image in ancient pagan religions. Due to the fact that the snakes drop the skin, they were often persongalized with rebirth, including with natural cycles of life and death. Therefore, the image of the snake was used in fertility rituals, especially those related to seasonal cycles.

For the Jewish people, the snake was a symbol of polybamism and paganism, the natural enemy Yahweh and the monotheism.

Why did the sinless Eva allowed himself to be deceived by Zmiem?

Comparison, albeit indirect, man and god, led to the emergence of gogling sentiment and curiosity in the soul of Eve. It is these sentiments that pushing Eve to the intentional crime of the commandment of God.

The sin of the sin of Adam and Eve was their free will. Violation of the commandment of God was only proposed by Adam and Eve, but not imposed. And the husband, and the wife participated in his fall by goodwill, for no free will - there is no sin and no evil. The devil only excites the sin, and does not forcing him.

HISTORY OF FAIL.

Lukas senior cranes. Adam and Eva

Adam and Eve, not to withstand the temptations to which they were subjected from the side of the devil (Snake), made the first sin. Adam, fascinated by his wife, violated the commandment of God and tasted from the fetus of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. So Adam and Eve brought the wrath of the creator. The first sign of sin was the constant feeling of shame and vain attempts to hide from God. They appeared by the creator they were gone guilt: Adam - to his wife, and his wife - for a snake.

The fall of Adam and Eva is a fateful for all mankind. The gathering order of life was broken by a fall and was adopted by a devilochiel, people wished to become gods, bypassing God. The fall of Adam and Eve introduced themselves in sin and sin in themselves and all the descendants.

Original sin - Molds the goal of life defined by God by God - like God. Originarian sin contains all the coming sins of mankind in the bud. In original sin, the essence of all sin is its beginning and nature.

The consequences of the sin of Adam and Eve have affected all humanity, inherited by the human nature spoiled by sin.

Exile from Paradise.

God expelled Adam and Eve from Paradise to cultivate the land from which Adam was created, and they were fettered by the fruits of their works. Before the exile, God made the clothes to people so that they covered their sorts. God put in the east at the Garden of Eden Cheruvim with a fiery sword, so that he guarded the path to the tree of life. It is sometimes assumed that Archangel Mikhail was an armed sword, the Guardian at the gate to heaven. By the second version - it was Archangel Uriel.

Two punishments were waiting for Eve and all her daughters after the sin. First, God multiplied Eva's pain in childbirth. Secondly, God said that the relationship between a man and a woman will always be characterized by conflicts (Genesis 3:15 - 3:16). These punishments come true again and again in the life of every woman throughout history. Regardless of all our medical achievements, childbearing is always painful and busy experience for a woman. And it doesn't matter how much our advanced and progressive society has, in relations between a man and a woman, the struggle for the power and struggle of the sexes, complete strife.

Adam's children and Eve.

It is known to be known that Adam and Eve had 3 sons and an unknown number of daughters. The names of the daughters of the progenitors are not captured in the Bible, since, according to ancient tradition, the genus was conducted through the male line.

The fact that Adam and Eve had daughters testify the text of the Bible:

The days of Adam for birth, they were eight hundred years old, and he gave birth to sons and daughters.

The first sons of Adam and Eve were. Cain from the envy kills Abel, for which he was expelled and settled with his wife separately. From the Bible it is known about six generations of the Cainy Knee, then the information is not traced, it is considered that the descendants of Cain died during the Great Flood.

The Third Son of Adam and Eve was. The descendant of Sif was Noah.

According to the Bible, Adam lived 930 years. According to Jewish legend, Adam rests in Judea, next to the patriarchs, on Christian legend - in Calvary.

The fate of Eve is unknown, however, in the apocryphastic "Life Adam and Eve" it was said that Eva dies 6 days after the death of Adam, having time to cope with their children to focus on the stone history of the life of the first people.

Talk about the creation of the God of Adam - Slavic Old Testament Apocrif, telling the biblical history of the creation by God of Adam's first man. The tale is based on a dualistic idea of \u200b\u200bthe world and for this reason in the creation of Adam participates like God and the Devil.

Despite the fact that the tale has been preserved in the XIV lists (South Slavic lists) and XVII -XVIII (Russian lists), the researchers associate the origin of his text with the Bulgarian Bogomilian heresy, which arose in the X century. The testimony of this is a message of the Tale of Bygone Years, which under 1071 contains a story about the wrappers, which appeared in Novgorod and invest in their speech a similar legend.

About the creation of Adam

From how many parts God created by Adam

The human body, they say, of four parts created. It takes heat from the fire, and from the air the cold, and from the ground dryness, and from water moisture.

And elsewhere it is written that Adam from 8 parts was created. First, the body, secondly, from the Red Sea, blood, thirdly, from the sun, fourth, from the wind, the breath of his life, fifthly, from the cloud of thought, good and evil, Sixth, bone stones, in-seventh, from the Holy Spirit, which invested the righteousness and a particle of eternal light in man, which is called Christ. The 8th part of the very breathing of Christ is the soul.

When God created Adam, there was no name from him. And the god of four angels called on and told them: "Find the name to him." Angel Mikhail went to the east and saw a star there, whose name is Anaphol, and took from her az. Gabriel went south and saw a star named Ador there, and took good from her. Uriel went north and saw the star named the machines, and took a thought from her. Rafail went to the West and saw the star called Brion, and took EP from her.

And they appeared before God and said: "Here are the parts that we received, and read, folding them, and will be the name then Adam." He said the Lord Almighty: "Yes, he will be so called by name." And they said all the angels: "You, Lord, have mercy with us."
