What Was The Original Sin?
Summary
Sin's entry into the world shattered intimacy in relationships, leading to shame, conflict, and separation from God and nature.
The curse of sin brought about broken relationships, including shame and conflict between genders, as well as separation from God and the natural world.
Despite the curse, God's banishment from the Garden of Eden was protective, preventing eternal life in a sinful state, while also offering redemption through Christ.
“When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the Lord God walking about in the garden. So they hid from the Lord God among the trees. Then the Lord God called to the man, ‘Where are you?’ He replied, ‘I heard you walking in the garden, so I hid. I was afraid because I was naked.’”
