The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat


And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.  And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. (Genesis 3: 12-13)

People say that Adam is making excuses. People say that Adam is an unscrupulous man who blames his wife. Even people say that Adam made all humans sinners. In Genesis 2:24, "So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. In Ephesians 5: 31-32,For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

The church means the spirit. It is true that before the creation, Christ and the Spirit were one. However, because the spirits were deceived by Satan and wanted to be like God, they tried to leave God. God sent the spirits who wanted to leave to the material world, and Christ first put on the clothes of the flesh. So, the existence of Adam was born. "Adam received fruit from his wife and ate it" explains this situation.

Therefore shall a man(Christ) leave his father and his mother(God), and shall cleave unto his wife(spirit): and they shall be one flesh.

Originally, Christ and the spirits were one, and since the spirits were separated from Christ, Christ will come to save their spirits. So, the apostle Paul described the relationship between Christ and the Church as a secret. It is the spirit that the church was born again.

Jesus prayed to be one before the cross. In John 17: 20-23Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;  That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.  And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Salvation must be one with God in Christ.

In Genesis 1: 26-27And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. God's image means the spirit that is one with God in Christ. In other words, it means that Christ came to the earth in the flesh. The first man, Adam, acts as a body that traps all spirits as sinners. The last Adam is to act as a body that frees sinners.

In Romans 5:14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. Those who have not sinned, such as Adam's sin, are angels who have not kept their position to leave God. It was that Adam ate fruit from a woman, and that woman ate fruit directly. The woman has tried to leave God in violation of God's command, and that Christ bears the responsibility of the spirits to leave and has left God.

In John 1:51And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. This expression is also mentioned in Genesis 28:12. This is what God showed to Jacob (Israel), and the Gospel of John (1:51) is what Jesus said to Nathaniel. The Son of Man is Christ. The ladder also means Christ. It means that angels who have sinned through Christ come down to this earth and through Christ to the kingdom of God. The first man Adam and the last Adam are the same Christ. The expression of the apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:45And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. (Genesis 3:13) It may seem that God is asking the woman why she ate the fruit, but the Bible explains the process. And the key reason is to reveal through a woman. It is a confession that the spirits of the kingdom of God wanted to be like God after being deceived by Satan. Here God expresses the delusion of Satan and the greed of the spirits (self-righteousness). It wasn't that Satan approached her because she was greedy first, but she was greedy with Satan's delusion. Soon, Satan's delusion can be used synonymously with greed. In Colossians 3: 5Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

Being on earth means dying. The Bible says, "There is covetousness in the fleshy tabernacle of the earth, and they must die." So, the apostle Paul described "a member of the earth" as an old man in Romans 6:6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. The old man (a member of the earth) must die and be reborn as a member of the spirit from heaven. In Romans 6:4Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Everyone who is not born with a new life is a child of the devil. Jesus also said to Israel, who did not abide by the Word, as devils. If people don't eat what God gives, they are all children of the devil. It expresses what the spirits who sinned in the kingdom of God followed by being deceived by Satan. Spirits who did not maintain their status have sinned against God, but Satan is the object of God's judgment. The angels who have sinned come to realize their will in the world with the spirit and come back after realizing that their thoughts are wrong.

People can repent and use Christ as a ladder to return to the kingdom of God. However, Satan is deceiving that "the righteousness of his own" can still be achieved on this earth. Eternal life is not something humans can achieve for themselves, but it is God-given. It is impossible to return to the kingdom of God unless you deny yourself, because you are greed (idola). The difference between those who follow the Holy Spirit and those who follow the law is whether they deny themselves. The law is to try to fulfill the righteousness by observing the Word of God. However, those who follow the Holy Spirit are those who have died of the body of the flesh and have been regenerated into the body of the spirit. So, it is to escape the law in Christ and live only as the Holy Spirit leads. To hear the Holy Spirit lead, you must remember that you died with Christ every day.
