After creating heaven and earth, God created
Adam and Eve. And the first thing He said to
them was: "Don't."
"Don't what?" Adam replied.
"Don't eat the forbidden fruit." God said.
"Forbidden fruit? We got forbidden fruit? Hey,
Eve...we got Forbidden Fruit!"
" No way!"
" Yes WAY!"
"Don't eat that fruit!" said God.
"Why?"
"Because I'm your Father and I said so!" said
God, wondering why he hadn't stopped after
making the elephants. A few minutes later God
saw the kids having an apple break and was
angry. "Didn't I tell you not to eat that
fruit?" the First Parent asked.
"Uh huh," Adam replied.
"Then why did you?"
"I dunno," Eve answered.
"She started it!" Adam said.
"Did Not!"
"DID so!"
"DID NOT!!"
..............
Having had it with the two of them, God's
punishment was that Adam and Eve should have
children of their own. Thus the pattern was set
and it has never changed. But there is a
reassurance in this story. If you have
persistently and lovingly tried to give them
wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't be hard
on yourself. If God had trouble handling
children, what makes you think it would be so
easy for you? |
