Genesis 3:1-7
Excerpted from: Flag of Our Father

It has been postulated over the years as opposed to the picture drawn from the minds of men of an apple from Eve to Adam, that the actual fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was a fig. So here in chapter 3, verse 7 we see another very significant hint as to what happened from taking of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Verse 7 tells us the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.

The first thing that man did after the sin of taking of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, disobeying the truth of God's Word, was to see their physical differences not from God's perspective toward unity but in the perversion of disobedience and the mind of men towards division. Then taking the leaves from that very tree, they determined for themselves to protect their own different parts that God had made to perfectly unite them physically.

Genesis 3:6-13
Excerpted from: God's Stare Decisis

There are two things that happened here that changed our relationship with God and each other. They go hand-in-hand with what has been the point so far in this sermon, because they are both, perhaps, the most significant part of the problems we face today. There is failure to stand by the decisions not to be disturbed in the truth of God's Word. And there is a drive away from God by Satan's own self-deception of, This is your right!

Brethren, we live in such divisive times that are only getting worse as rights are being demanded, and the making of decisions that are not built on truth, but on what is best for our side and convincing others that it is to ensure our rights! Do we really think that we can make proper decisions based on the truth of God's Word as long as we hold on to the this is my right, attitude that is trumpeted all around us throughout this world from all sides?
