There are some who says He came in angelic forms throughout the Bible yes He did but thats through another likeness. The term used to explain this and other episodes is anthropomorphism (human-forms). God Arraigns Adam and Eve. Ive heard so many people claim that the Bible says Adam and Eve walked with God in the garden (and some even add these words, in the cool of the day). The NRSV's rendering makes the time more explicit, "at the time of the evening breeze" (also REB). Maybe it is implied elsewhere in the Bible? It is very possible that the angelic beings are also made in the image of God. Haha very eye opening. It says that he went to the land of Nod and then she conceived a son (Enoch). I suppose so, but seems illogical, Hi Daniel, It seems likely that many people have just remembered some of the wording in this verse and assumed that it says Adam and Eve walked with God. CLAIM #1: Canada AKA Commie Da under seditious King/Crime Minister Justin Trudeau!! Thanks for taking the time to read the article and for the comment. He knew good because he once served God; he then knew evil because he committed evil in his rebellion from the Father. Adam and Eve were happy and satisfied in the beautiful garden. They were created with perfect bodies and were husband and wife on the day they were created. When God asked them how they knew they were naked, and asked them if they had eaten from the tree they were not to. We must know that Eve and Adam's life in the Garden of Eden was beyond happy. On page 57 of Heaven you say Before the Fall, God came to Eden to visit with Adam and Eve (Genesis 3:8). This passage refers to God walking in the Garden after Adam and Eve have fallen, but before God has confronted them. Again, in Gen 3:24, we see that God drove the man out of the Garden of Eden.

Im not sure where you got the idea that Im hellbent on trying to make a point of saying that Adam and Eve did not walk with God.

Every description used can also be said about the angelic beings. Just like when we will be fully glorified in the new age, we shall see God, because we shall be sinless then; Adam couldnt have hid himself from wind alone, there must be an accompanied physical presence that he knew about; When you follow the account of Genesis at that material time, its hard to think that God was just coming through the medium of wind, then why did he create man in the first place, if at all he didnt want the man to see him? God had told them to be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1:28). But, despite the beauty of God's new world, there was one thing missing. So, it is not a far stretch to suppose that God and Adam might have walked together in the Garden, if not regularly, else why would God have gone to the trouble to create a garden and put man into it, if not to have a direct relationship. Hi Tim. This is stated in the incident where Moses disobeyed by striking the rock instead of speaking to it (Numbers 20:1011). For Adam to know that the sound he heard was the sound of God, he must have heard it before. My post is not arguing against the idea that Adam and Eve had some sort of relationship with the Lord prior to the Fall. When everything fell apart, so did the people.

No sowing or reaping for 3 years! Because at this time there are only three people left from the list. You read that correctly, the Bible never states that Adam and Eve walked with God in the Garden. Adam said, I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself (Genesis 3:10, ESV). Far too many people run around claiming, The Bible says Adam and Eve walked with God in the garden, but as Ive pointed out, it doesnt say that. It is a special, peaceful garden oasis God created as a home for Adam and Eve (and maybe also Lilith) where their two jobs were to give animals names . My main point is that we dont go around saying that the Bible says that Adam and Eve walked with God in the garden, because that just isnt in there.

The Bible even indicates that God may have taken on a physical form in order to walk with Adam and Eve in the garden (Genesis 3:8). Once God addresses him, then Adam could say, I heard the sound of You in the garden (Gen. 2:10, ESV). Well, in Genesis 2, Adam names the animals, and the only words quoted from him in Gen. 2 have to do with what he said when he met Eve: This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh (Genesis 2:23). Further, although the phrase could be translated as a strong wind, the text would still say that he came walking in a strong wind. This post isnt about whether they enjoyed fellowship with Him prior to sin and walked with Him in a metaphorical sense. Considering that each year subtracted from Cain and Abels ages at the time of Abels murder could be added to Adam and Eves time in the Garden, its quite possible that Adam and Eve spent many years in the Garden, which would make their sin all that more sorrowful. 2.

I happened on this post because the thought came to my mind that God only walked with Adam, not EveI do not know why I had the thought, and I had not checked Gods Holy Word on the issue, but I read your article which partly validated my thought in an unexpected way. The parts of the claim that are not in quotes are my reasonable inferences of your intent, given what you do *say verbatim*. (Gen. 3:8) Adam is placed in the garden to "cultivate (abad)" and "keep (samar)" it (Gen 2:15). Like a child jumping in his fathers arm as he comes home from work. Hi Nucc, The complete bible account of the story of Adam and Eve can be found in Genesis 1:26 to Genesis 5:5. Mentions of Eden are also made in the Bible elsewhere in Genesis, in Isaiah 51:3, Ezekiel 36:35, and Joel 2:3; Zechariah 14 and Ezekiel 47 use paradisical imagery without naming Eden. 9 The Lord God called to the man and asked him, "Where are you?".

Walked with God is a favorite expression in Genesis, depicting the righteous conduct of Israels heroes, including Enoch, Noah, and Abraham. Do you think that statement is a stepping stone for misleading Gods people? They were to work the land 6 years right? 5 Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth[ a] and no plant had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, 6 but streams[ b] came up from the . Or perhaps just the knowledge of being disobedient & the result of knowing their nakedness is what caused him to be afraid. Yes, I do understand that God desires relationship with His peopleto walk with them as they walk with Him. Thanks for the kind response. However, God could have manifested himself as a human being, but this would not be the glorious spirit being that he actually is. 21? With that being said, I agree with you that it is reasonable to infer that He spent time with them, but the Bible does not imply that He did, and that was the point of this post. Why? However, God did come physically to Abraham and ate. Gen 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. The reasoning for this conclusion may make more sense in the next post on Cain and Abel. The idea of God openly talking and physically walking with Adam and Eve is that God is interested in humans and want to develop a close friendship with them. But its entirely different to claim that the Bible teaches or implies that they did when there just arent any statements in the text that teach or imply that position. No, I mean that God must have spent time with them in order to teach them, how else would they learn to talk, to till the land, to eat, to basically live their lives in a way that was pleasing to Him!

I love my time with Him and when Im not with Him I want to do the right thing by Him, unlike Adam and Eve! I think that would be fantastic. So Adam hears a sound, which he knows is the sound of God. I do however give a lot of thought when people preach/teach as truth that which is not written but surmised by man/woman to have taken place. But even if that happens to be the right way to look at it, then it may still be correct to view this as a theophany. I would agree with much of what you wrote, and I believe Ive stated as much in the article and follow up comments.
