In The Garden

Adam and Eve by Lucas Cranach the Elder.

So God created man in His image and likeness (Genesis 1:27). http://www.biblegateway.com/ This made man superior to all of God's creation. God gave man dominion over His creation and Adam was given the task of naming all the animals. By the way, Adam had superior intellect which debunks the evolutionist view that man was dumb (caveman) and could do little more than grunt! No, Adam named every kind of animal.

Out of Adam, God created for him a helper, woman! Adam said she was now "bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh." God said that for this reason," a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife and the two shall become one flesh." God instituted marriage and sex (be fruitful and multiply). Wow, what a great God!

God took Adam and the woman and put them in the Garden to care for it. He told them that He gave them food from every kind of tree and they were free to eat of any tree at any time. However, God gave them one command that the tree of the knowlwedge of good and evil was off limits for them to eat its fruit.

Tomorrow, what went wrong in the garden and the loss of Paradise.
