This
is the second part of the “What Happened in a Garden in Eden” discussion
between Rabbi Jeffrey Leynor and Jim Myers. In this video, God decides the man
by himself is not “TOV,” so God decides to create a mate for him. The first
thing God creates to fill that role is a wild
predatory animal! What was God
thinking?
This sets
the stage for one of the most important events in the Scriptures of Judaism and Christianity. As a matter of fact, the Garden
of Eden story was reinterpreted by Augustine in the 5th century CE and
his new interpretation laid the theological foundation upon which modern
Christianity now stands.
The
verses discussed in this video set up the first confrontation in the Bible -- “Two Humans vs. a Walking Talking Religious
Snake.” The questions raised in the minds of the ancient Hebrew audience
were these:
● Will the two humans act together and be “the
image of God”?
● Or will the two humans act as individuals and
be “images of a wild predatory animal”?
This
