The Fall of Humanity
What happened in the garden and can we learn from it?
27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.Genesis 1:27,N.I.V.
In the beginning, on the sixth day, God created humanity. After every animal on the earth had been made, God took it upon himself to create a being that would emulate His attributes. He wanted something that would join with him in tending and managing the earth.
Man was molded out of the earth, and God breathed his very essence into him. He would be able to create, contemplate, cultivate, and collaborate alongside God. Adam looked around the earth; he saw no other being that was like him. He found no one who would share his space, be his companion, or share intimacy with him. Not just sexual intimacy, but intellectual and emotional as well.
God had created Adam just like God, both feminine and masculine characteristics. In his infinite wisdom, our creator caused Adam to go into a deep sleep. From inside Adam, he removed the part of him that was woman. He removed the part that would be opposite to Adam. Before Adam was able to fulfill all his needs within himself and God himself said that this is not good.
