Reading Notes Adam and Eve Part B
Adam and Eve Part B was a story I never knew about. Showing what happens when Adam and Eve are cast from the Garden of Eden. Things that we are so used to such as night time, heat, having to drink water, to be aware of our surroundings etc. neither Eve or Adam had to experience until being cast from the garden. The both killed themselves multiple times and were constantly weeping about the situation they had put themselves in by defying the word of God. The Lord made a promise to them that after 5 and a half days had passed he would let them and their seed back into the garden but that is more like 5500 years, after the end of days.
This gives me the idea that for the story Adam and Eve need to come from a well off or royal family and be cast out into poverty. It could show that they are not prepared for the struggles of an average life such as not knowing where to sleep at night, how to get money for food, knowing when a shower is gonna happen and other things of that nature. Bring some humility to them and humble them to show compassion for the world and not just themselves.
