Original Sin


What is Sin? … Not obeying God (His word)
Lucifer was the first to sin – rebelling against God – See Lucifer
But Lucifer wasn’t a human, he was an Angel!
God created Adam …. Genesis 2:7
God Placed Adam in the garden of Eden, to take care of it … Genesis 2:15
God instructed Adam in what he was to do and not do … Genesis 2:16
Adam was to name all the animals (and probably all the plants) … Genesis 2:19
How long was Adam in the Garden alone with God? The Scripture doesn’t say.
But it was long enough for Adam to observe the animals he was naming and see how they were paired with their own kind. No doubt Adam longed for someone of his own kind … Genesis 2:20
God put Adam into a deep sleep, took a part from Adam (translated rib) and formed the woman. Genesis 2:21-22
Note: The Hebrew word is normally translated as side, corner, chamber or flank not rib.
God presented the woman to Adam.
The woman was to be Adam’s help meet; he was responsible for her, to teach her God’s word.
The Apostle Paul writes of the responsibility … Ephesians 5:22-33
Adam and the woman were to dwell in the Garden of Eden doing God’s will.
But SIN interrupted this relationship.
Now, who sinned first… Adam or the woman?
Adam left the woman alone in the Garden, WHY? Where was he?
While alone, Satan took advantage of the situation, taking on the form of a serpent … GENESIS 3:1-5


The woman was beguiled, tricked by the serpent (Satan) … 2 Corinthians 11:3
Adam returns and finds Eve had eaten of Forbidden Fruit.
(The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, which God had instructed Adam NOT to eat of … Genesis 2:17)
Adam knew God’s command and yet He also ate of the forbidden fruit.
So, the question, WHO Sinned First, The woman or Adam?
The woman was tempted… Did she disobey God? Yes, but she was beguiled, led astray.
Adam willfully disobeyed God’s word.
As the Apostle Paul writes in Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
That man was ADAM, who willfully disobeyed God. 2 Timothy 2:14
And because of that sin, death both physical and spiritual entered into the world.
Death by definition is separation.
Physical death separates soul and spirit from the body.
Spiritual death separates us from God.
The woman was not called Eve until after the fall … Genesis 3:20
And then they were casted forth out of the Garden … Genesis 4:23-24

Wealth Part 2

Wealth is mentioned 27 times in the Scripture.

Sons of Jacob seek revenge their sister:
Genesis 34:29 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house.
Remember where wealth comes from:
Deuteronomy 8:17-18 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
1 Samuel 2:32 And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.
Ecclesiastes 5:19 Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
Ecclesiastes 6:2 A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
Boaz, a mighty man of wealth
Ruth 2:1 And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.
Menahem, king of Israel raises money to avoid war:
2 Kings 15:20 And Menahem exacted the money of Israel, even of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not there in the land.
Put God first, not material things:
2 Chronicles 1:11-12 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king: Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.
Israel warned to be separate:
Ezra 9:12 Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their wealthfor ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever.
Mordecai watched out for the well-being of his people:
Esther 10:3 For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the wealthof his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.

Proverbs 5:10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
Proverbs 10:15 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.
Proverbs 13:11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.
Proverbs 13:22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
Proverbs 18:11 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
Proverbs 19:4 Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.
Spoils go to the victor:
Zechariah 14:14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
Demetruis made money selling idols:
Acts 19:25 Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.
Paul is NOT speaking of money, but well being:
1 Corinthians 10:24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth.

Wealth in Scripture does not always mean money, but overall good living.
Remember, WEALTH always comes from God.

New World Order

The USA needs to be reduced in power for the New World Order to take charge.
Here are the 10 steps to accomplish this:

  1. Expand Government Spending, Devalue US Currency
  2. Higher Taxes
  3. Increase unbalanced Budget
  4. Wild, uncontrolled Inflation
  5. Government control of wages, prices
  6. Socialistic control of daily lives
  7. Bigger central government (eliminate States rights)
  8. Central control of education system
  9. Peace on Communistic system
  10. Willingness of US citizens to accept all this

Looks like the Biden Administration is well on its way to accomplish the Surrender of US Sovereignty.

Unless the Lord steps in, we will soon see a One World Government. And then the Anti-Christ will bring in the 7-year tribulation.

Of course, if you are a true believer (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 and Romans 10:9) you won’t be here, having been taken out in the Rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
