and sees this being and he says to God, Woh-man what do we have here. God says that this is a uh, a I being made from you. I took one of your ribs too, so that ya’ll can be linked together until the end of time. Wait, says Adam. You mean that by you joining us bone of bone and flesh of flesh we are forever linked, yes says God. Well I tell you what, if you put us together then together we w ill be, no matter what. Now I have to give her a name. Dangit I just ran out of names, I named all these animals and I have no name for may wife. God says what? Adam says my wife. Yeah that sounds good, but she still needs a name. Well it is getting to be evening now. What says Adam to God, evening that is a day that I called when the sun goes down. Yeah, how about Eve. Call your wife Eve okay. Yeah, cool. So now that Adam had gotten all the rules and laws of the creator he now has to tell all that was told to him, he must now tell to Eve, his wife, his uh help mate. Now that all of Adams work is done he and Eve now are just having a time of his life, well their lives. So now that God has left, well not just quite yet. But before he leaves, he calls them both to the throne, cause he first has to do with Eve what he did with Adam. God had to bless her and keep her, he has to make his face shine upon her and give he peace. You when we are all born it is really by the hands of God that we are placed inside the womb of women to bear her fruit for he mate. You see God is always in the amalgamation process and has the power to do this to keep this world going. We know that today we are living a life not suit for mankind, but that is another story. So now that God performs this miscegenation of these two, he now leaves them alone to do what they do. But as time goes on and years pass by, Eve is now going on he own in a sense to have time alone to herself. We all need that me time alone so that we can have a chance to miss one another you know, cause being with someone 24-7 is a bit much and you grow sometimes tired, frustrated and just want to be alone. So Eve is alone just waling and admiring all that God has done and all that Adam had done as well. She walks along the grass with her bare feet with the feeling that she has not a care in the world. She whispers things in the air as if Adam was with her, she plucks flowers off of trees, she graces across the waters of the rivers, she lays naked in the sun that shines upon her skin. But as she walks and continues to grace upon the grasses and the streams, she comes across the path that leads to a field, and there she sees a tree in the middle of the field with a sword of something swinging in front t of it. Now mind you that God had told her not to touch this tree, stay away from this tree or she would surely die. Now she wonders a bit about this, and wants to know why is this such a big deal to stay away from this tree. Let me see, she thinks it was the tree of knowledge she ponders. Well as you see she has a bad memory and can’t remember what the tree was and she can’t really recall why he did this to them. Let me think a minute she says to herself, this a nice tree and it has a lot of fruit on it. Now Eve does not know about the serpent and God. Adam must have forgotten to tell her of this serpent. But be mindful she was aware of the tree to not to touch it or even go near it. So she shows disobedience already. Now on the other hand I have to look at Adam and the part he played in this. When you are joined together by God in marriage, you are to cleave to your spouse and not let harm or danger come to them. This is a place now that even though that God had created this wonder place there lurks evil as well as good. Now we all think about that since God made all and created all, it is all good, but don’t forget about the fallen angel that was banished from heaven. What does that mean by fallen angels and demons and all this evil talk. She did not quite comprehend all of this talk about evil and demons and stuff of that nature. Even though she was disobedient and not really understanding, she was ascertaining all that was around her. She has a heart to really listen but to go on about her own way to find things out on her own, but she had a big heart. So now that she stands there in the midst of this tree contemplating on whether to take this fruit from the tree, she now is approached by the serpent. Now that she comes across this slithering being on the tree, she is not afraid for it has a upper body as hers, so there is no fright at all. He says to her, hey wzup, and where is your help mate and why are you all alone out here in this place and your husband does not accompany you. Don’t you know that what God has joined together let no man put asunder. Now she looks around stupefied at what the serpent is saying. She does not really understand what he just said to her. She says, what do you mean by put asunder. I have no clue of what you say to me in that language. It is okay says the serpent, let me tell you this much about what God says not to do. Now here you are without your help mate alone, that there should be a red flag for me to know that I can persuade you to do what I want you to do without the help or hand of your husband. Then I see that God told you to stay away from this tree and all that other stuff, right. Yeah????!!!, says Eve. So now she is really curious. How does he know all about God, he was not there at the marriage ceremony, who is this being, how does he know so much about me and my husband and even God!!?? So now she goes back and tries to find her husband, but he is no where to be found. She thinks out lot to herself in frustration. She still wonders who this is that knows all about the plans and guidelines of the land. So she walks around for a minute and then she goes back to the same tree where the serpent is waiting for her. The serpent says to her, did you find your husband yet, have you seen him. He is probably busy tending to the animals and fishing or something like that. But I tell you what, says the serpent. Let me tell you a little sumtin’ sumtin’. Now if I recall God said that if you eat of this fruit you will die, right. Yeah, she says. And he told you to stay away from this tree and me right. Yes, and no she says. The tree yeah, but you he did not mention. That is why I’m so confused as to why you are here telling me all about what we have been told not to do. But can you now tell me who you are, because it is really messing wit me at this time and I don’t like to be left in the dark on things. So the serpent says look I tell you what, just take a bite of this apple, it is not gonna kill you, look at me, I’ve been eating on this fruit, so I’m not dead, I ’m just as lively as you are. But what about your, Uh, oh, your uh, lower part of your body, I mean who in the hell are you or what are you. Well says the serpent, to be honest with you, if you just take this apple and bite into its juices then I will tell you all that you need to know. Yeah, says Eve, but I can’t do this cause I have to obey my husband and God, I just can’t go against what they have told mi what to do. Can you understand that. Yeah I guess, but what is obeying, what does that mean. Any ways, says the serpent, just take a bite and then you will see the whole truth and nothing but the truth of who you are and what you are. What do you mean, asks Eve in disarray. Look at you says the serpent, you are naked……. Well I’m saying, just take a bite, okay. NO, I can’t, says Eve. Well I tell you what, if I take a bite then will you take a bite. Okay and then I will show you that you are not gonna die okay. I guess, I mean I know you married and all (wink, wink), but I won’t hurt you, I just want you to know the truth of who you are and then you will see who I am, okay. Okay says Eve. So she takes a real good bite and then soon as she does that, look who decides to show up and raise all kinds of cane. Eve!!!!!!! Eve!!!!!! Stop, don’t, don’t get away from that serpent, put that down, and you, you you you snake, get away form my wife, I’ll kill you, get away from her. So the serpent leaves the scene and is never to be found again. Now Adam has to deal with Eve about all kinds of things. Why didn’t you tell me about that, what you called, a snake, why didn’t ya’ll tell me about him. I didn’t know about him that much, but God told me but I didn’t think that he would be around here. You see when I named all the animals and fowls of the air, I didn’t see anything like him so I figure it was no deal. But woman we told you to stay away from this tree and not to go near it. Why did you go against God and his wishes for us. I’m sorry but he told me that we would not die, and he even took a bite too. So I said if he is still living then it can’t be bad. Oh yeah, why does he have that kind of body,
