all major religions regard adultery as one of the greatest sins
the Israelites had to be circumcised as a condition to become God's elect.(they

25. What is the reason why God love Adam and Eve more than Lucifer?
God decision is unquestionable
God wanted Lucifer to be jealous so that he can tempt Adam and Eve
Lucifer is in the position of servant. Adam and Eve are God's children and
with this position comes responsibilities which God expected of His children.
That is also why the commandments were given to Adam and Eve.
Adam & Eve are the last of God's creation.
26. This illicit love relationship between Lucifer and Eve is the
physical fall
spiritual fall
physical and spiritual fall
27. Why is it difficult for us to accept the possibility of a sexual relationship
between a spiritual being like Lucifer and Eve?

28. The illicit love relationship between Adam and Eve is the

between Adam & Eve. Enter the number sequence to the events.
she wanted to return to Adam(pure and innocent) to correct her wrongdoing

with Adam
her uneasy conscience and realisation that her intended spouse was Adam, caused
her to have fear
30. Explain how the blood lineage of sin and fallen nature is transmitted
to the descendants of Adam and Eve(all mankind)?
we cannot inherit the sin of our ancestors
Sin and fallen nature that result from the fall of Eve and Lucifer is passed
down to the descendants of Adam & Eve in the same manner she inherited
it from Satan.
God cursed the descendants of Adam and Eve because of their disobedience with
the plan of sending the Messiah for salvation later.
Satan planted sin and fallen nature on the descendants of Adam & Eve
31. Explain what would have happened if Adam and Eve had obeyed God instead
of succumbing to Lucifer's temptation.
God would have tested them in other ways
They would have perfected themselves as sons and daughters of God and God
would have blessed them as husband and wife centering on God's love and multiplied
children of goodness.
Lucifer would have other ways to make them fall
We cannot know for sure because God has not revealed this in the Bible
32. If Eve obeyed God
Eve would be the Tree of Knowledge of Goodness and the fruit she eat(love)
would be good
Eve would not be married to Adam
she would not die and she would have eternal physical life
God would have created mankind modelled after people like Adam and Eve
33. Since Eve disobeyed God
Eve became the Tree of Knowledge of Goodness
Eve became the Tree of Knowledge of Evil and giving the evil fruit(love) to
Adam have resulted in children of sin
God would destroy all fallen mankind except those that believe in Christ.
God cannot keep His original purpose of creation and since then has changed
His plan altogether
34. Eve is likened as a Tree of Knowledge of Good & Evil because
her love(fruit) can either be good or evil depending whether she is centred
on God or Satan
Eve has both good and evil nature
Eve should be wise and knowledgeable
God wants her to be a person of great knowledge.
35. How has Satan been so effective in accussing and demoralising mankind?
man's false love of sexual promiscuity and infidelity and through this Satan
has condemned the human family to destruction
man's advocate in Christ has not returned
man has lost his spirituality
man is inherently materialistic
36. What are the consequences of the Fall of Man? (check if true)
Unprincipled or false love was multiplied horizontally giving birth to children
of sin
Satan uses evil men on earth and evil spirits in the spirit world to manifest
his powers. Evil spirits controlled fallen man by exploiting man's sinful
and fallen nature
Love is good or evil depending on the motivation, direction and purpose of
the love action. Adam and Eve's love centering on Satan's love resulted in
sinful and evil children. Love centering on God would give opposite results:
children of goodness
Good and evil is not determined by the action or the person.
