Hər şey Necə Səhv Getdi

Orijinal Eden Layihəsi

Back to the Beginning…

Həqiqətən İsanın mərkəzi əhəmiyyətini başa düşmək’ Tövbə və azadlıq haqqında mesaj, Müqəddəs Kitabın Allahın Rəhməti ilə Müqəddəs Kitabın başlanğıcına doğru getməliyik – to the book of Genesis, əslində.

Adam’s Assignment

The early world was ‘very good’ (Gen 1:31): but it was wild and needed taming (Gen 1:26-28). Adam and Eve’s assignment was to rule it as God’s representatives. But they were not yet ready for this; so God put them in a safe place, Eden, which Adam was made responsible for cultivating and protecting (Gen 2:15).

There were two very special trees. The tree of life gave Adam and Eve perfect health (Gen 3:22); and they could eat from it whenever they wished (Gen 2:17-18). But the tree of knowledge of good and evil, was not there to eat: but to teach Adam how to love – by caring for the interests of others. Adam had to be free to choose whether to do this; because love is only love when it is voluntary.

Enter the Serpent

Now we get a master-class on temptation from the most devious con-artist of all time – the serpent (a.k.a. Şeytan), an implacable enemy of God. He had nothing of any worth to offer Adam and Eve. Instead he tricked them into a trade to acquire what they already had! Once he had successfully undermined their confidence in God’s goodness, their own natural desires did the rest.

İlanın mükafatı

What did the serpent gain from Adam’s sin?

• God had put Adam in charge of the earth. When Adam chose to follow Satan rather than God, he became Satan’s servant; and Satan became earth’s ruler.
• Satan was looking for an insurance policy and was aware of God’s affection for mankind. İndi, if God sought to judge Satan, he could claim that God would be unjust to spare humanity but not himself.
• Satan also knew that ‘death’ meant permanent separation from God. He thought that, Allah Adəm üçün bu cəzanı ləğv etmək istəsəydi, he could demand an equivalent payment – either his own pardon or some infinite penalty of his choosing. He thought he had outsmarted God.

Yıxılma

Humans have the same kinds of natural needs and instincts as other animals. But we were made with the capacity to know God, reason, proqnoz və mənəvi seçim etmək, overruling our natural responses when necessary. We were designed to live in an ongoing relationship with God: so that we could draw on his wisdom and strength whenever we needed it. Without Him in our lives we revert to being just ‘clever animals’ - hələ də öyrənə və inanılmaz şeylər edə bilər: Ancaq təbii olaraq özəvarə heyvan təbiətimizi düzgün idarə etmək olmur.

Cut off from God’s presence, Adam was spiritually dead already and, fiziki olaraq, we are all doomed. But what if evil tyrants had been immortal? Physical death was a way of limiting the damage until God’s master-plan was fulfilled.

Uğursuzluqlar kataloqu

Tarixin üst-üstə düşən dərsi bu kimi yekunlaşdırıla bilər: Adam, through his ingenuity can control nature: Ancaq o, öz eqoistliyini fəth edə bilməz. Yer kürəsini idarə edə bilər: Ancaq özü də öz günahı ilə idarə olunur və nəticədə eyni aldanan ruhun manipulyasiyasına əvvəlcə onu bu qarışıqlığa aldı.

Açıqlanmayan borcumuz

Bir çox insan, Allah insanları 'yaxşılarını çəkərək mühakimə edəcək’ 'pislərinə qarşı əməllər’ ones. But the problem is that your ‘best’ is no more than God expected in the first place; beləcə, regardless of what you do, every failure is adding to a mounting debt that you can never repay.
