sin before the fall :think:
...
Well, when their eyes were opened to their sin they saw their nakedness, not their eating, which they had before they ate.
And the word used to describe the evil of the serpent,
subtle crafty or cunning is the same world used for Adam and Eve,
naked. Only the vowels are different and they were not introduced until the mid 600s AD.
So if nakedness means to be sinful for them as it does for the serpent, then it either means 1. they were created naked, that is, sinners, and GOD created them evil and thought it was good, or 2. they were already sinners before coming to the garden and only accepted it, that is, were ashamed by it, when their eyes were opened to it as bling seems to be suggesting.
And apropos this topic, eating of the tree of the knowledge of, (not experience of which they already had but still claimed to be righteous), good and evil, would apply to any and every experience which opens the eyes of a sinful elect to their sin so as to bring them to repentance.
Of course there are those whose theology depends upon GOD only creating evil people by putting them into Adam which HE did not need to do, as if such an idea was not a blasphemy against HIS loving nature at least just as blasphemous as suggesting GOD
created A&E evil in the garden...
