Light and Darkness

Part I

  In a talk Br Brilly shared about darkness and and light and out of that one Word of God from Genesis were touched me a lot.  Gen 3: 1-13 Now, the snake was the most subtle of all the wild animals that Yahweh God had made. It asked the woman, ‘Did God really say you were not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?’. Br said, why the woman talk to the snake. She should keep quiet for not get into trap of Satan. 2 The woman answered the snake, ‘We may eat the fruit of the trees in the garden. 3 But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden God said, “You must not eat it, nor touch it, under pain of death.” ’ 4 Then the snake said to the woman, ‘No! You will not die! 5 God knows in fact that the day you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, knowing good from evil.’. Br said again, he twisted the Word of God,“did God said any of the fruit in the garden should not eat? God knows you will become like gods. This was the doubt evil put in the mind of Eve. 6 The woman saw that the tree was good to eat and pleasing to the eye, and that it was enticing for the wisdom that it could give. Br said, Eve was looking into the things externally and not obeying the commandment of God. Her eyes and mind went into the darkness  of evil and he tempted her to do the sin against God, what a pitiable thing. So she took some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it. Br said, she gave this fruit to Adam also, her husband, when we sin, we make others also to do the sin. She thought it was the right thing to do. (Verse 7) Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they realised that they were naked. So they sewed fig-leaves together to make themselves loin-cloths.  Br said, before they sinned, they were under the grace of God, the aura of grace were covering them and they felt no shame to each other as they were one flesh and one soul. 

 The man and his wife heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from Yahweh God among the trees of the garden. 9 But Yahweh God called to the man. ‘Where are you?’ he asked. Br said, 10 ‘I heard the sound of you in the garden,’ he replied. ‘I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.’ 11 ‘Who told you that you were naked?’ he asked. ‘Have you been eating from the tree I forbade you to eat?’ 12 The man replied, ‘It was the woman you put with me, she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it. Br said, here we can see God has given many chances to repent for Adam and Eve to admit mistake and to tell the truth, but they never done that. Adam said: the woman You gave me tempted me to eat the fruit. So here Adam is just blaming both God and his wife Eve. God asked woman, 'why did you do that?' the woman replied "The snake tempted me and I ate it' . Br said we always blame others while we make mistakes and wrongs. We never realise what we are doing, is it right or wrong and never examine our conscious.
