It is the way how everyone of us is made:from material of this earth,our
tabernacle body
Why Eve came from Adam Why they had to become one fresh?
There is only one origin of fresh and bone i.e. from Adam, Eve was created
the same way as Adam but she was built from Adam body material. The description
of the bible was just over simplified the procedure in order that people
might understand what had happened.
How Adam knew that Eve was mother of all?
Because he is the father of all
Was Eve there when God command Adam not to partake the fruit of knowledge
of good and evil?
Eve know the commandment directly from God or from Adam. But she might mingle
the commandment with her own ideas that Satan had a chance to beguile her.
Adam was clear about the commandment without mingling with his own interpretation,
so he was not beguiled by Satan.
Why Eve partook the forbidden fruit?
Her natural self drove her,when she heard the lies of Satan
Why God plant the tree of knowledge of good and evil?
It might be a tree that was not suitable for eating, might be poisonous to
the celestial bodies of Adam and Eve, but the look and taste were excellent
just like many poisonous plants in the world.

It was cursed because it followed the will of Satan
Did Adam intend to eat the forbidden fruit?
Adam did not intend to eat the fruit, but he ate the fruit because of Eve

she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
Genesis 3:17:And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the
voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree,
What happen when Adam ate the forbidden fruit, what trouble came to
him when his eyes opened?
He is the first time he acted for his own will alone. After his eyes opened,
he could see his nakedness that makes him feel shameful and frightened. He
first experience the guilty of his transgression and tasted the sadness and
horror of result brought by sin.
3:7And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked;
and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. 8And
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.
Why Adam use leaves as apron?God prepare skin for him as garments?
Adam was like child with only primitive skill, so he made apron with leaves
only. As everything was prepared for him before he had only little things
to learn. Contrary to Adam, God knew how to use skin as garments.
3:21Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins,
and clothed them.
What happen to Adam when he fell from his position?
Before Adam transgressed, he had celestial body (although using material
of the earth, the material used and nurtured were the finest) but afterward,
he changed
1.he became weak (we can say he had been poisoned)
2.he know good and evil ( because evil brought him shame and frighten)
3.he couldn't face to face with God (he lost direct spiritual guidance) but
he could still hear the voice of God (Not like many people nowadays)
What is the state of a sinner? (
ref
)
Definitions: One whose actions are not motivated by the will of God but by
the will of his terrestrial mind (natural human) Is called a sinner state
because
1. he experience weakness and frighten
and shameful before God
2. he is away from the face of God
Eve first beguiled by Satan to partake the fruit,that action was motivated
completely by her own desire, not thinking of God’s will neither consulting
the Holy Ghost, so Eve first fall into a state of a sinner. Adam followed
Eve to partake the fruit and that action was motivated by himself also, as
he chose to be with Eve and not left her alone (may be because of love and
promise)
Why God sent Adam to work?
Adam became weak and lacked protection from God, so as to maintain his body’s
condition(sustain by blood rather than spirit), he had to work and exercise
(he did not need exertion when he was sustained by spirit)
3:23Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till
the ground from whence he was taken
Why did God drive Adam out of Garden of Eden?
1.he had nothing to learn in the Garden of Eden
2.He attempted to eat the tree of life that he might become immortal but
also in eternal fallen state (shameful, frighten and away from God) before
God
Why Adam need to die in his fallen state?
1.his spirit is eternal, but his tabernacle is temporal , its temporal life
might serve as a period to test himself and learn the way of salvation
2.A temporal body will give offspring, providing tabernacle for many spirit,
he couldn't do so in his immortal body
How Adam inherited the origin of sin from Adam?
1. When Adam ate the fruit, his offspring
were already inside him,so how Adam’s body changed his offspring would inherit
genetically.
2. Adam’s fallen state (spiritually and
physically) was inherited. The action of Adam and his offspring are motivated
by their own will,this change make them able to learn from their experiences
and obtained knowledge of every thing prepared by God especially the plan
of salvation which bases on human’s free will of choice.
Why a fallen state turned to be a blessing to Adam and all human family?
1.he had his eyes opened, he learnt about good and evil, strong and weak,
glorious and darkness, happy and sad; everything that has its opposite side,
positive and negative forces that enable one's action by his own will.
2.his tabernacle will die, because of this, the breath in him will be shared
and passed to his offspring, and let spirit to come to this world clothed
with his tabernacle (image of him)
He will hence enjoy the happiness of family .
3.he can learn about salvation of fallen state prepared by God before the
foundation of the world. After learning the knowledge of salvation man can
progress back to live with God forever, not as child but grown up with intelligence
like God who choose righteousness by his own will.
What had Adam face in his fallen state?
1.physical and spiritual weakness. Man will face with sickness, hurt,and
death

my brother's keeper? (4:10)He could lie to Adam but could not to LORD
What is the words of Enoch about Adam?
And as Enoch spake forth the words of God, the people trembled and could
not stand in his presence. ] [ (Genesis 6:49) And he said unto them, Because
that Adam fell, we are; and by his fall came death, and we are made partakers
of misery and woe. ] [ (Genesis 6:50) Behold, Satan hath come among the children
of men, and tempteth them to worship him; and men have become carnal, sensual,
and devilish, and are shut out from the presence of God. ] [ (Genesis 6:51)
But God hath made known unto our fathers, that all men must repent. ] [ (Genesis
6:52) And he called upon our father Adam, by his own voice, saying, I am
God; I made the world, and men before they were in the flesh. ] [ (Genesis
6:53) And he also said unto him, If thou wilt, turn unto me and hearken unto
my voice, and believe, and repent of all thy transgressions, and be baptized,
even in water, in the name of mine Only Begotten Son, who is full of grace
and truth, which is Jesus Christ, the only name which shall be given under
heaven, whereby salvation shall come unto the children of men; and ye shall
receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, asking all things in his name, and whatsoever
ye shall ask it shall be given you. ] [ (Genesis 6:54) And our father Adam
spake unto the Lord, and said, Why is it that men must repent, and be baptized
in water? ] [ (Genesis 6:55) And the Lord said unto Adam, Behold, I have
forgiven thee thy transgression in the garden of Eden. ] [ (Genesis 6:56)
Hence came the saying abroad among the people, that the Son of God hath atoned
for original guilt, wherein the sins of the parents cannot be answered upon
the heads of the children, for they are whole from the foundation of the
world. ] [ (Genesis 6:57) And the Lord spake unto Adam, saying, Inasmuch
as thy children are conceived in sin, even so, when they begin to grow up
sin conceiveth in their hearts, and they taste the bitter, that they may
know to prize the good. ] [ (Genesis 6:58) And it is given unto them to know
good from evil; wherefore, they are agents unto themselves. ] [ (Genesis
6:59) And I have given unto you another law and commandment; wherefore teach
it unto your children, that all men, everywhere, must repent, or they can
in no wise inherit the kingdom of God. ] [ (Genesis 6:60) For no unclean
thing can dwell there, or dwell in his presence; for, in the language of
Adam, Man of Holiness is his name; and the name of his Only Begotten is the
son of Man, even Jesus Christ, a righteous judge, who shall come in the meridian
of time. ] [ (Genesis 6:61) Therefore I give unto you a commandment, to teach
these things freely unto your children, saying, that by reason of transgression
cometh the fall, which fall bringeth death; and inasmuch as ye were born
into the world by water and blood, and the spirit, which I have made, and
so become of dust a living soul; ] [ (Genesis 6:62) Even so ye must be born
again, into the kingdom of heaven, of water, and of the Spirit, and be cleansed
by blood, even the blood of mine Only Begotten; that ye may be sanctified
from all sin; and enjoy the words of eternal life in this world, and eternal
life in the world to come; even immortal glory. ] [ (Genesis 6:63) For, by
the water ye keep the commandment; by the Spirit ye are justified; and by
the blood ye are sanctified. ] [ (Genesis 6:64) Therefore it is given to
abide in you, the record of heaven, the Comforter, the peaceable things of
immortal glory, the truth of all things, that which quickeneth all things
which maketh alive all things, that which knoweth all things, and hath all
power according to wisdom, mercy, truth, justice and judgment. ] [ (Genesis
6:65) And now, behold, I say unto you, This is the plan of salvation unto
all men, through the blood of mine Only Begotten, who shall come in the meridian
of time. ] [ (Genesis 6:66) And, behold, all things have their likeness;
and all things are created and made to bear record of me; both things which
are temporal, and things which are spiritual; things which are in the heavens
above, and things which are on the earth, and things which are in the earth,
and things which are under the earth, both above and beneath, all things
bear record of me. ] [ (Genesis 6:67) And it came to pass, when the Lord
had spoken with Adam our father, that Adam cried unto the Lord, and he was
caught away by the Spirit of the Lord, and was carried down into the water,
and was laid under the water, and was brought forth out of the water; and
thus he was baptized. ] [ (Genesis 6:68) And the Spirit of God descended
upon him, and thus he was born of the Spirit, and became quickened in the
inner man. ] [ (Genesis 6:69) And he heard a voice out of heaven, saying,
Thou art baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost; this is the record of
the Father and the Son, from henceforth and forever; ] [ (Genesis 6:70) And
thou art after the order of him who was without beginning of days or end
of years, from all eternity to all eternity. ] [ (Genesis 6:71) Behold, thou
art one in me, a son of God; and thus may all become my sons. Amen. ]

What had Jesus done during
the three days in spiritual world?
Why Jesus can break the chain
of darkness and death when his body is still under the power of death?

Where people go after death?
To a spiritual world, similar what we are now on the same earth.
2.
Is there Limbo?
limbo describes the temporary status of the souls of good persons who
died before the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the permanent status of
the unbaptised who die in infancy (without having committed any personal
sins, but without having been freed from original sin). 【From Wikipedia】
3.
Is there Purgatory?
Purgatory is a place of cleansing after the particular judgment. After death,
persons who repented of their sins but had not expiated them in life are
purged before entering heaven. Because everyone who enters Purgatory will
eventually reach heaven, it is not some lesser form of Hell.【From Wikipedia】

What had Jesus done during the three days in spiritual world?
He was in the spiritual world, but the power of death and darkness, i.e.
power of fear, guilt, accusation, misleading, shame, pride could not trap
him in the darkness. He could hear the voice of God who call him back with
the power that all must obey, and he could return to his body. He did not
return by himself, but by someone who had the authority of calling dead return(
A resurrected person), there were two messengers from God descend to roll
the stone and called Jesus to resurrect

Why Jesus can break the chain of darkness and death when his body is still
under the power of death?
