“Eat Nor Touch”

“Eat Nor Touch”

Blessings folk!

There was one fruit that man was not allowed to eat.

Gen 2:16-17

The LORD God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may eat freely;

but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat,
or in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.”

Adam received this command before Eve was created.

Afterward…

Gen 3:1-3

Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman,
“Indeed, has God said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?”

The woman said to the serpent, “From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat;

but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said,
‘You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.’”

They were not to eat from the tree.
(Eve added her own addendum…”or touch it”…God did not say that. Perhaps Adam added it.)

Regardless.
They broke the one rule that God gave them.

Why?
Not “falling”.
Rebellion.

It sounds innocuous…eating the fruit from a tree.

Yet, it brought sin.
It brought death.

Sin not.
