A SPIRIT CREATURE
ENTERING THE SCENE
Adam
and Eve chose to eat the forbidden fruit (see the article: From The Very Beginning Of Human Creation, published by
ideacreamanuela). What let them to this course? The Bible explains
that a spirit creature of God had taken a rebellious course against
God. This one, better known as Satan (means ''opposer'', in Greek),
spoke through a serpent in Eden and led her and through her, Adam
away from God's sovereignty. (Rev. 12:9)
By
eating of the tree, the first human pair placed their judgment above
Gods' by deciding for themselves what is good and what is bad (Gen.3:22). Satan says to Eve:"Is it really so that God said you must
not eat from every tree of the garden?" In other words God was
withholding something good from them. The issue thus raised was, Does
Jehovah have the right to rule humankind, and does he exercise his
sovereignty in the best interests of his subjects? (Gen 3:1) The
rebellion also raised another issue: Can humans under test be
faithful to God? (see the article: Jesus, A Witness Faithfull Even To Death, published by ideacreamanuela)
Once
raised, the issues had to be settled. The passage of time, about
6,000 years, and the visible failure of human governments clearly
demonstrate that humans need God's sovereignty. But do they want it?
Yes! Jehovah has his witnesses! But
what does it mean to be a Witness? See :
