How did sin enter the Garden of Eden?

Answer 1

MAN FALL INTO SIN FROM BIRTH AS THE SON OF DEVIL; THE FIRST ALMIGHTY MOTHER OF CREATION. FOR THE ALMIGHTY FLESH OF TE DEVIL IS SIN/DEATH. THEREFORE AS WE COULD ALL SEE TODAY WHAT THE MOTHER SOW; SOWN THE CHILDREN REAP; SO ADAM REAP DEATH BECAUSE HIS MOTHER SOWN IT ALL IN HEAVEN REVELATION 14....

Answer 2

Adam and Eve disobeyed gods command in the garden of Eden, and Satan tempted Eve to eat the fruit.

Everything God created was perfect, but an angel wanted more....he wanted worship for himself. He made himself Satan (opposer) the devil (slanderer), and brought sin (in the form of lies and a rebellious attitude) into the Garden of Eden.

(Genesis 3:1-5)(1 John 3:8)(John 8:44)

When Adam and Eve listened to him, turned away from God's rulership, and started following Satan, sin (a 'falling short') also entered the human race.(Romans 5:12)

Answer 3

Islamic Answer

They disobeyed God (Allah in Arabic).

The story is described in Qur'an that says:

وَيَا آدَمُ اسْكُنْ أَنتَ وَزَوْجُكَ الْجَنَّةَ فَكُلَا مِنْ حَيْثُ شِئْتُمَا وَلَا تَقْرَبَا هَـٰذِهِ الشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكُونَا مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ ﴿١٩﴾ فَوَسْوَسَ لَهُمَا الشَّيْطَانُ لِيُبْدِيَ لَهُمَا مَا وُورِيَ عَنْهُمَا مِن سَوْآتِهِمَا وَقَالَ مَا نَهَاكُمَا رَبُّكُمَا عَنْ هَـٰذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ إِلَّا أَن تَكُونَا مَلَكَيْنِ أَوْ تَكُونَا مِنَ الْخَالِدِينَ ﴿٢٠﴾ وَقَاسَمَهُمَا إِنِّي لَكُمَا لَمِنَ النَّاصِحِينَ ﴿٢١﴾ فَدَلَّاهُمَا بِغُرُورٍ ۚ فَلَمَّا ذَاقَا الشَّجَرَةَ بَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْآتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخْصِفَانِ عَلَيْهِمَا مِن وَرَقِ الْجَنَّةِ ۖ وَنَادَاهُمَا رَبُّهُمَا أَلَمْ أَنْهَكُمَا عَن تِلْكُمَا الشَّجَرَةِ وَأَقُل لَّكُمَا إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَكُمَا عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ ﴿٢٢﴾ قَالَا رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا أَنفُسَنَا وَإِن لَّمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ ﴿٢٣﴾ قَالَ اهْبِطُوا بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ ۖ وَلَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرٌّ وَمَتَاعٌ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ ﴿٢٤﴾ قَالَ فِيهَا تَحْيَوْنَ وَفِيهَا تَمُوتُونَ وَمِنْهَا تُخْرَجُونَ ﴿٢٥﴾Meaning English translation:

{ And "O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat from wherever you will but do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers." (19) But Satan whispered to them to make apparent to them that which was concealed from them of their private parts. He said, "Your Lord did not forbid you this tree except that you become angels or become of the immortal." (20) And he swore [by Allah] to them, "Indeed, I am to you from among the sincere advisers." (21) So he made them fall, through deception. And when they tasted of the tree, their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten together over themselves from the leaves of Paradise. And their Lord called to them, "Did I not forbid you from that tree and tell you that Satan is to you a clear enemy?" (22)They said, "Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers." (23) [Allah] said, "Descend, being to one another enemies. And for you on the earth is a place of settlement and enjoyment for a time." (24) He said, "Therein you will live, and therein you will die, and from it you will be brought forth." (25) } [Qur'an, chapter 7, verse 20-25]

Christian Answer

Simply reading the text may lead us to believe that because of Adam and Eve's sin/disobedience they were cast out of paradise. Similarly, we may want to blame the Jews for crucifying their Messiah Jesus. Scripture clearly teaches that the crucifixion was ordained of God.

Acts 4:27-28

"For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, 28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done. KJV

Acts 3:17-18

7 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.

18 But those things, which God before had shewedby the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.

KJV

Rev 13:8 the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world KJV This Lamb of God was clearly not "PLAN B". All of Christianity revolves around His Crucifixion---The end of sacrifice-the beginning of Grace. The Jews, Israel, Jacob, were given the Laws, Commandments that they had no hope of ever being able to obey fully; they were given a choice, life or death, blessing or curses; yet ( BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW SHALL NO FLESH BE SAVED) all of us, who strive to obey the law, will live by the law; because we, believing that we have a choice are blinded ("by design", like the Jews who crucified Jesus) thinking that we can be like Him. ONLY GOD IS GOOD. not man, no not one. It is by Grace through Faith we are saved, not by works, so that no man can boast of what he's done, IT IS A GIFT OF GOD. Even what some believe to be "Their Part" such as "believing", an act of their free will, frees God or gives Him permission to act on their behalf is done in ignorance/ blindness. My intent is not to offend or to come across as arrogant, but that we might see that "by design" God has us in DARKNESS, we can only see what he shows us not what we think we've figured out or discovered/reasoned. Truth comes by the Spirit of God not by the wisdom of men. It is God that brings us into His glorious LIGHT not by the will or desire of man but by the Spirit of God "by design". In order for us to even begin to believe, God beginsto create in us a new heart. The heart (is wicked) of the "old man" / "old nature" must/will be destroyed. But there is one who lives in us (He is our New life/new nature) and causes us to believe, He speaks through us and we cannot deny His witness. "By Design" we're not supposed to be, or look as if we've got it all together. Consider Jesus' ministry... what a failure he turned out to be, surely Israel's Messiah would not end up hanging on a cross pathetically helpless. But He was The Lamb Of God, Israel's Messiah, our Messiah, all of us; and only seen as such "by design". Sorry this got so long. It seems then that I've said all that to say that it is "by design" or Gods will/plan that man would be pathetically helpless, unable to save himself. So like Adam and Eve, we don't fellowship with our Father in Paradise, but rather we walk in darkness not believing or trusting in Him. We're not allowed into the Garden/Into His Presence...Gen 3:24

So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life KJV.

But when we "each in our own time" enter into the Garden/into His Presence not because He called-off the Cherubims, but "by design" we will be broughtthrough the flames- the consuming fire where all that is not of God, will be lost/taken from us, and there in His Presence naked and humbled we will know that He Is God, we will see His Face and We, "in Him" will Live. BTW without Faith which is a "gift" from God (Faith is not like a muscle that can be exercised ) , a key that cracks open the door where light begins to shine, we're in outer darkness and unable to believe the things of God.

Thank You Lord!

Adam and Eve, or the serpent that tricked them

Answer 4

Man listened to Satan's clever lies, Satan appearing in the form of or inhabiting the serpent. The account is in Genesis 3:1-7.
