Eden Revisited - A Short Story

Have you ever pondered what might have happened

between the first two verses of Genesis 1?

 

Does reading Genesis 1 spark your curiosity about a seeming gap between the first two verses? Honestly, it’s quite a stretch for me to imagine The Lord creating anything in an imperfect form. I am not alone in wondering what may have happened between those first two verses. For sure, one day, we will understand it all in the so-called ‘by and by’. 

 

I recently wrote a short story, Eden Revisited, that answers the call of my imagination on this question. It reflects how I understand what many call ‘The Gap Theory’. If you might be curious and interested to see what I imagine, click on the link below. My intent is not to distract from Genesis account of creation, nor am I promoting what I imagine, as dogma. As noted, I am merely responding to the call of my imagination’s on the above question. No need to ‘get bent out of shape’ if you might disagree. Here's the link to my short story:

Eden Revisited - A Short Story

 

By the way, in Romans 5:12, Paul wrote, 

 

Therefore, just as through one man [Adam],

sin entered the world, and death through sin, 

and thus death spread to all men [all people],

because all sinned.

 

There is an apparent missed insight among believers who point to this verse, and assert Adam’s sin ushered death into the world, i.e., in the Earth. They seem to omit two Bible facts that dispute their assertion:

 

     1. Eve sinned before Adam, and

     2. satan (ex-Lucifer) was in the garden, in the land of Eden,

         before Eve sinned.

 

For a more accurate understanding of what Paul likely meant, please see: An Earth’s Age War (Part 2).
