Ten Things I Learned about Life before the Fall (An interview with Adam ben Elohim Ayyim) – 6

Reporter: “Our time together is about up, Adam. I’m not sure we have enough space left for much more of your story.”

Adam: “Now that we’re outside the Garden, and learning what it’s like to be on our own, alienated from God, I can tell you, disobedience leads to

5) the cursed ground;

6) a woman’s labor pains in childbirth;

7) knowledge about the snake (Satan), who is a fallen angel and sends his demons to inhabit and hurt people;

8) that God still loves His created ones and will make a way back to Him if we ask for His help and wisdom;

9) as long as we’re alive, we have a mandate to fill the earth with more people through reproduction and building the family God commanded us to; and

10) God has a plan we may not understand, but since we were created by Him, He will never forget us! He has a plan that includes us, even though we’ve sinned. Eve and I choose to believe this, stand on it, and expect God’s help no matter how hard it gets!

Yes, we lost a son to murder and have grieved often. And yes, we have a third son, and trust God will help us raise him properly. All we know is that God is in charge of it all! That’s where we choose to stand!”

Reporter: “Thank you, Adam! That was a whirlwind answer! Okay, everyone. That’s the end of our interview. Goodnight!”
