In the first
story in Genesis, Elohim did seven acts that measured TOV (good)! In the second
story, the two humans did “one prohibited act together” and “the
process of dying began on earth.” This had nothing to do with “evil.” “Dying
wasn’t the punishment.” Continue reading at - https://mailchi.mp/f30b6aff8cb6/judgment-day-for-the-man-and-woman-in-the-garden-17999659
And
Yahweh Elohim said: “Who told you that
you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I
commanded you that you should not eat?” And the ADAM said: “The ISHAH (woman) whom
You gave to be with me, she gave it to me
from the tree, and I ate.” What
did Yahweh Elohim think when the man blamed Him for giving him the woman?

Yahweh
Elohim planted every tree in the Garden, formed the humans and formed the
serpent. Everything in the Garden is there because of Yahweh Elohim. Yahweh
Elohim gave the command to the humans about not eating from the Tree of the
Knowledge of Tov (good) and Ra (evil) before the serpent existed. And
finally remember, both the humans and serpent are “subtle, shrewd, clever, crafty, and cunning creatures.” So who
will be the most subtle, shrewd,
clever, crafty, and cunning?” Let the Main Event begin! Continue

According to
the text the man needs a “help meet.” Notice the text does not
say that he needs “a helper.” Not someone to “boss around!” The
Hebrew word means, “one that corresponds to, a counterpart of, equal to, and
matching.” This matches what we learned about ADAM #1 – “the male
and female are equals in the eyes of Elohim.” Male and female are equal
partners! Will the man and woman be more subtle, shrewd, clever, crafty, and cunning – and not shame themselves? Continue reading at - https://mailchi.mp/d3134895ec02/final-preparations-for-the-epic-confrontation-in-the-garden-in-eden
The first story in Genesis began with – “In the beginning
Elohim created the Skies and the Earth.” The notes below will help you see
differences between the two stories. There are others but I won’t discuss them
today. (1) In the beginning / in a day. (2) Elohim / Yahweh Elohim. (3) created
/ made. Continue reading at – https://mailchi.mp/db595a95eae4/setting-the-stage-for-the-main-event-in-the-garden-in-eden
Americans
are living in a culture and economy that highly values and markets “individual pleasure” and “instant gratification” as top
priorities. The unintended and deadly side effects of this are constant anxiety, isolation, loneliness,
indifference to others and increased violence. As isolation increases,
self-rejection increases; as self-rejection increases, isolation increases.
This is a toxic and potentially deadly mix. Without being anchored to
principles and values that are shared by others, life is like living in a
washing machine that is on a perpetual spin cycle. Continue reading at - https://mailchi.mp/d6775d7c4450/introduction-to-tov-life-1st-values-based-relationships
The Hebrew word “ADAM” reveals there are two kinds of humans: “male and female.” In order to have an ADAM, there must be “one male and one female bound together by the Alliance and Covenant” in Genesis 1-10. There is no third type of human. When the two humans act together to fulfill Elohim’s blessing, they reveal the image of Elohim on earth by doing the following.
