Genesis. Chapters 1 – 5. There is no better defined explanation of the beginning than the Bible.

Nothing can come from nothing, so there must have been a beginning.

This beginning is called God, it is impossible to prove that He does not exist.

When God planned the human race, the earth already existed, it was covered with water, and everything was a chaotic mass. God put everything in order with his Word. He commanded and made laws according to which everything was to continue. When God spoke a word, it became so. Later, he gave himself as the Word, who became alive among us and paid for all the chaos and sin that the human race had managed to do and still does.

The crowning glory of creation, after everything was created, was Adam. God formed him in His own image and breathed life into him and gave him Eve as a helper in the Garden of Eden. The human race had now become immortal, because God gave a part of Himself, we became spirit soul and body. God formed all kinds of animals and birds, and Adam gave them names. One must assume, that Adam at that time had great knowledge, since he was created in the image of God. God shared His knowledge with him, because Adam gave names to all animals and birds before He created Eve.

Two of the many trees in the Garden of Eden were mentioned: Eternal life and death. Thus, man had been commanded to respect and follow God forever. We know that this is not so. The serpent seduced Eve, and Adam was persuaded, even though God had forbidden Adam and not Eve to choose to know good and evil. We must assume, that animals could communicate at that time, and that they will do so again in the eternal kingdom, when creation has been restored, so to speak.

As a result of Adam and Eve’s sin, three great sins were born, which still exist today. To covet, what one sees and what one desires and the pride of life, 1 John chapter 2, 16

Sin does influence and seduce, even today children are born with it, and must learn to deal with it. There is hardly a person who can say, that he is free from bad thoughts. Adam and Eve had fallen, they no longer had the same communication with God as before. They still had a spirit, but separated from God, and with the prospect of dying later, when their bodies no longer couldd exist. Dying without God means eternal torment, because our spirit is immortal.

God withdrew from Adam and Eve, they had to leave Eden, otherwise they would have had access to the tree with the fruit of eternal life. God created everything from the beginning and said: It is good, the plan of salvation was also in God’s mind, from the beginning. He chose a man, a people, a place to put forgiveness into effect at the right time and place.
