Setting The Record Straight — The Brew Is A Musing

“And God said, “have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from? What do you think we should do about it?” And the man and the woman both said, “we think that we should just let it go and see it it ever happens again.” And God said, “sounds good.” […]

  3. Well there was immediate discipline which rocked the world. Contempt is far different than accidentally spilling something as you are doing sanctioned things.

    Either can be rectified by confessing your sin to God and asking for forgiveness. And the Blood of Jesus, washes away the sin and restores you. Something not available to Adam at the time.

    What we should remember is Sin is actually something we shouldn’t do cause its not good for us, and it cost the human life of Jesus, required a beating and nailing and suffering. So our sins we may say cost us, but really it cost God more. We smashed up the car but then he took out his savings to have it repaired. It really just cost us some emotion, but for him, our sin cost him, not us.
