      Gen 3:1-5

      1)Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”

      2)The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,

      3)but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”

      4)“You will not surely die,” the serpent said to the woman.

      5)“For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

      (since there were no other human beings on earth, the unseen spirit of Satan spoke through the serpent, which Eve could see, with an appeal to ego/pride—their downfall)

      Gen 3:6-8

      6)When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.

      7)Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

      8).....and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden.

      (they failed the test of obedience God had allowed through Satan’s temptation. God’s spirit of innocence then left them, replaced instead by Satan’s spirit of shame and guilt when “their eyes were opened, and they hid from the LORD”. Thus, the first-ever sin, or disobedience of God.

      As a result their relationship with the Lord was separated; they became dead to God’s inner spirit, and their physical bodies would also eventually die. Worst of all, their “infection” by Satan’s self-centered spirit would be passed on to all human offspring, as each generation to come would find its own ways of disobeying God)

      Gen 3:13-19

      13)Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

      14)So the LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, “Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life.

      15)And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”

      16)To the woman he said, “I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”

      17)To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat of it,’ “Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.

      18)It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.

      19)By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”

      (it is obvious God regards our disobedience of Him more seriously than we human beings do...the consequences were enormous for every single person who would follow.

      Death, weeds, difficulty supplying enough food, storms/ bad weather, hail, drought, and disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, etc. can all likely be attributed to the random forces of nature God set into motion as a result, not only of Adam and Eve’s curse, but Mankind’s continuing errant ways ever since that first failure to obey) see entries below.

      Gen 3:22-24

      22)And the LORD God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.”

      23)So the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken.

      24)After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

      (innocence had been lost; death would now reign over mankind...they no longer had access to the tree of life. The process of physical aging and death began instead, starting with the first generations of people living more than 900 years, then gradually winding down through time as they became more and more corrupted in God’s eyes)

      Gen 6:1-3

      1)When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them,

      2)the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose.

      3)Then the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days will be a hundred and twenty years.”

      (God warns us about being unequally yoked...see 2Cor 6:14-15. The “sons of God” most likely refers to Believers in God descended from Seth, Adam and Eve’s godly son born after Abel was murdered, while the “daughters of men” are most likely the non-believers descended from ungodly Cain, who killed Abel...see Gen 4:25-26)

      Gen 6:5-9

      5)The LORD saw how great man’s wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time.

      6)The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain.

      7)So the LORD said, “I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air—for I am grieved that I have made them.”

      8)But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.

      9)This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God.

      Gen 6:11-14

      11)Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence.

      12)God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.

      13)So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.

      14)So make for yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out.”

      Gen 6:22

      22)Noah did everything just as God commanded him.
