EXPLORE Week 2: The Rebellion – Genesis Chapter 3: 1-19

Questions and thoughts
1) Were the punishments to heavy?

2) Supposing God is full of love and compassion, why was He acted cruelly and cursedly when human just disobeyed Him?


- God created all the sufferings because He cursed?
- God was unreasonable because He wanted man to do what He says?
- You have to do things wrongly in order to know what is right.
- There was no right and wrong, it was just the matter of obey and disobey.
- Do we need to do what God says, otherwise we will be punished?
- Do you completely obey you parents because they “created” you?
- If God did not curse, then there will be no suffering.
- Are all the sufferings caused by sins?
- God was imperfect because he did not have unconditional love (including forgiveness).
- God was like a dictator.
- Did God want human to continue to be ignorant as He said to man that you must not eat from the tree of knowledge…

Insights
- Parents gave birth to use but God created us
- God defines what is right by saying what are the things suppose to be done and vice versa.
- God is having both the characteristics of unconditional love and justice.
