There are large numbers of ministries that focus almost exclusively on prophecy. They are keen Middle East watchers; they delve into the New Age; they find signs in the heavens; they speculate about the mark of the Beast and keep track of computer technology.
Gen 3:14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
One of our Creation Moments listeners has written to ask how evolutionists explain the development of male and female. The problem is, if a mutation produced the first male, it isn’t likely that another mutation would have produced the first female at the same time and in the same neighborhood. The writer further pointed out that studies now show that with the current genetic errors we all carry within us, one male and one female would not be enough to establish a new population of male and female creatures.
Some people try to discredit Genesis by saying snakes don’t eat dust, as Genesis 3:14 claims and that, therefore, the Bible is in error.
“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:19
Numerous passages of Scripture clearly teach that God is omniscient. The Bible declares that God “knows the secrets of the heart” (Psalm 44:21), that His eyes “are in every place” (Proverbs 15:3), and that “His understanding is infinite” (147:5). Of Jehovah, the psalmist also wrote:
Most people think Jehovah’s Witnesses are still saved even though they don’t believe Jesus Christ is God.
It’s not enough to say, “We believe in Jesus.” The question is: which Jesus?
The Jesus of the Bible is eternal, uncreated, and uniquely God.
The verse is doubtless a metaphor, or perhaps it was a manifestation of God for Adam and Eve to see and interact more personally. Perhaps the author used this as a literary device to highlight the fact that God’s grace was still on Earth and with mankind, this being prior to the Fall.
While most would agree that our circulatory system is vital to life, many of us don’t fully appreciate the almost miraculous workings of that system.

Genesis 3 states that Eve ate the fruit first, but Romans 5 states that Adam caused sin to enter the world.
The “Problem”
The Genesis account of the Fall indicates that Eve ate the fruit first. This has led many people throughout history and even in our modern times to believe that she was the person responsible for original sin. You have likely heard the old canard, “We wouldn’t be in this mess [meaning the general sinfulness of our fallen world] if it weren’t for a woman.” But is that an accurate statement? Is Eve to blame for original sin?
The “Sacrifice” was to be a LAMB. Exodus 12:5. An emblem of meekness and purity, such was Jesus. “He was led as a lamb to the slaughter.” Isaiah 53:7.

Question:
Did Adam and Eve know of good and evil prior to sinning? It was only after Adam and Eve ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that the Bible says they came “to know good and evil” (Genesis 3:5,22). How could God punish them for an evil action if they did not know what evil was?
The Nature Of The Beast
The Bible teaches that in the last days an antichrist alliance will rise to power—10 kings who give allegiance to the “beast” (Rev. 17:12–14).
Although God says that Adam (and Eve) would die if he ate from the tree, he lives 930 years.
For 600 years the Roman Catholic Church attempted to keep the Bible out of the hands of the people.
