Genesis 3:8 -- A Better Translation Indicates That God Was PISSED.

This isn't my next post. That is still forthcoming.

I invite you to watch and listen to this video: Genesis 3:8 Sound of the Lord Walking in the Garden "Most Mistranslated Series"

Adam and Eve desired independence from God and acted selfishly, disbelieving and rejecting God. God knew it, and He was PISSED! The story indicates that He came to confront Adam and Eve angrily, thrashing in a thunderous storm: "Where the heck do you think you're running off to?" He turned Adam and Eve over to Satan--ignorance and death--illness and suffering, pain, confusion and despair (all this living hell we're in in our worlds without God). This is God's retribution for man's rejection of the Great King. The Great King nevertheless came to earth as man and kept all the Law (don't say that it can't be done; Jesus says, "Oh, really?" - there is no excuse), AND DIED IN OUR STEAD TO SAVE US FROM HIS RETRIBUTION FOR REJECTING HIM. His retribution is so terrible that He went through it Himself to create a way for us to escape it . . . by faith in Him.

THAT is a loving and merciful God. He did that--suffered hell for us--and you, having heard of it, that He took YOUR suffering upon Himself to spare you from it, still reject Him, the eternal, infinite, all-powerful King of Kings? You still disbelieve and reject His words, His being your Lord and obeying Him? You've got more balls than you've got common sense. Go selfless, man, go selfless, before you have to face His being even more pissed off.
