Satan's Attack on the First Marriage

The First Marriage

Man was created to resolve the prehistoric Angelic Conflict. After Satan sinned, he was tried, found guilty, and sentenced to the Lake of Fire (Matthew 25:41). Man was created with a volition and placed in the Garden. Satan was allowed to cross examine him. Since Satan was not thrown into the Lake of Fire after he was found guilty and since man was created with a volition to choose between good and evil, it can be deduced that Satan appealed the guilty verdict. Man was created to resolve the issue in the appeal trial. Adam was created and placed in the Garden of Eden. He was perfect, with a body, soul, and spirit; and his environment was perfect. The Lord made for him a perfect mate. 'Ishah, the woman, was beautiful, intelligent, and perfect for Adam.
The Divine Institution of Marriage was established as the basic building block of the human race. Before there were children or cities or nations, the perfect relationship was marriage. The man and the woman were complete with each other. The man represented life and the woman represented love. They bonded with perfect coalescence of spirit, soul, and body. Recreation wasn't badminton or tennis, hiking or fishing. It was sex - the most beautiful expression of love and intimacy ever created under the stars by the light of the moon. Before sex was for procreation, it was for love, recreation, and exhilarating happiness so that the angels came from billions of light years away just to watch the daily ritual. Incidentally, they still do. Angels are watching you.

The Garden was full of delicious fruit, which symbolized the genitals and sexuality. However, the fruit of one tree was forbidden. The Lord warned Adam and 'Ishah that they could eat of the fruit of all the trees of the Garden except the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for the day they ate of it, they would die. Since the man and the woman were perfect, they could sin in no other way. They did not have old sin natures because there was no sin in the world. The animals without contamination from sin were docile and completely friendly. Even the serpents were beautiful and charming.
