Your Questions About Genesis 3

Linda asks…

what are the symbols in genesis chapter 3 and more?

what are the symbols in genesis 3?
what is the theme and the climax?
what are the verbal, situational, and dramatic irony?

admin answers:

Everything is a symbol, meant to be taken figuratively, not literally.
The theme can either be obedience (the god perspective) or knowledge (the human perspective) and the climax would either be god’s curse or the opening of their eyes, depending on the theme.
Do the rest yourself.

Michael asks…

Does Genesis 3:21 Constitute An Animal Sacrifice On Behalf Of The Sins Of Adam And Eve?

I am amazed because I have never heard such a thing before; yet some posted this in response to a question asked earlier about Adam and Eve. Please, on what scriptural basis do people believe that what God did at Genesis 3:21 constitutes some sort of animal sacrifice for them?

admin answers:

4 Clearly there is a difference between being an accomplice to wrong deeds and simply being one who renders certain services such as are commonly rendered to all persons, without discrimination for or against anyone. We have an example in God himself as to providing service to personal needs without taking into account people’s righteousness or lack of righteousness. As Jesus pointed out to his disciples, Jehovah God “makes his sun rise upon wicked people and good and makes it rain upon righteous people and unrighteous.” (Matt. 5:45) Paul, too, says that God the Creator “gives to all persons [without discrimination] life and breath and all things.” (Acts 17:25) Since God permits rain to fall even upon the fields of wicked men, does this make him share in the guilt of their wrongdoing? When, for example, God clothed the sinners Adam and Eve, did he thereby lay himself open to the charge of condoning or supporting them in their wrongdoing? Rather, his act was simply one of undeserved kindness.—Gen. 3:21.
