ELTB TT 6-7 [∞]
Who did Adam talk with in the Garden? Who did he hear coming when he felt ashamed? Was it God the Father, or the Son? Though this question troubles many scholars and theologians, it is easily answered if we simply believe Jesus, "No man has seen the father, but me." [1] So we know Adam did not see or hear the Father. It must have been the Son.
God the Son, plays the role of God in the play. Now we know why Jesus would be called "Eternal Father". [2]
Adam put to sleep to get Eve | Christ put to death to get the bride |
|
Eve didn't understand Adam's teaching | Jesus taught in parables | |
The tree represented Holiness | The cross displays God's holiness | |
Eve is tempted by her flesh | The church is deceived by the flesh.. carnal mind | |
Adam joined Eve in sin knowingly | Jesus joined to his bride in sin knowingly | |
Adam and Eve in the tree | Christ and the church on the cross | |
Adam blamed God | Jesus Blamed God (Father's will | |
Eve blamed the serpent | Church blames the devil | |
Serpent crawls on belly | Church instinctively of the flesh | |
Cast out of garden to learn holiness | In this world to learn holiness | |
