So there stood Adam and woman, realizing that they had done evil and that they were in opposition to God. In that realization came the understanding that they were naked and they were ashamed of being naked. So they made clothing out of their surroundings.
And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
As we just saw, they were standing there when they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden. How can you hear a voice walking? You and I have a voice, have you ever heard it walking? No. Our voices are a part of us. they are contained and produced by our body. This fact means that the voice of Lord God would be a part of the Lord God. Why then would it be treated in Scripture as a seperate entity than the Lord God? The fact that it was walking and could be heard walking means that this voice had a body. So I ask, who was the voice of the Lord God?
So this voice was walking in the garden and it was the cool of the evening and when they heard the sound of the voice walking, they hid themeselves. This means they were familiar enough with the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden that they knew the sound of his tread. Hearing this familiar step, they hid themselves. It is important to note that they hid themselves "from the presence of the Lord God." The voice here becomes the presence of the Lord God. I have a presence. My spouse has a presence. My friends have presences. Yet when we are together, our presences are not interchangeable. Therefore, only God has the presence of God. If the voice has the presence of God, that makes him God. Who then is the Voice of God?
They hid themselves from the presence of God among the trees. Our children, when they have done something they shouldn't have done and think they might get into trouble for it, will also hide though they realize that we shall find out.
And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? Well, the Lord God called out to Adam saying "Where are you, Adam?"
And he (Adam) said, I heard thy voice in the garden (again showing that Adam was familiar with the Voice of God enough to know the sound of Him walking in the garden), and I was afraid (Adam was scared because he knew he had been disobedient), because I was naked (herein was his shame: he was naked and because of his new-found understanding of good and evil, he knew it was wrong); and I hid myself (because of his shame at being disobedient and being naked).
And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
God goes right to the heart of the issue. In asking who it was that told Adam that he was naked, God directs Adam's understanding to the fact that no one could have told Adam that he was naked. This knowledge had to have come as a result of eating the fruit. Had the serpent, for example, simply told woman she was naked, Woman would have no understanding of the concept of nakedness. It had to come as a result of the understanding.
In asking if Adam had eaten of the tree that he was commanded not to eat, God allows man the opportunity to confess and be repentant. More to come next time.
Dear readers, I asked you who was the voice of the Lord God. We see from the text, that this voice was a part of God (voice of the Lord God), it had a body (heard the voice of the Lord God walking), it was a being (presence of the Lord God), and it was God (presence of the Lord God). Therefore, it could only be the second entity of the Godhead. We are told in John 1 verses 1-3, that "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. The Greek word used here is logos. It means "something said (including the thought); by implication a topic (subject of discourse). . ." So we gather that the Word (who was in the begining with God and was in fact God, is the same as the Voice of the Lord God. As we read further in John 1 specifically in verse 14, we see that the Word/Voice became flesh and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Why Does It Matter?

He remembers what the squall was, but his mom and dad never even had a
clue. Not even when the event took place. There is nothing quite like the
experience...

Christian, here is another interesting scripture along this line:Num 7:89 And when Moses went into the tent of meeting to speak with him, then he heard the Voice speaking unto him from above the mercy-seat that was upon the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubim: and he spake unto him.
Have a nice day--Deboraw
Dear Deboraw;
It is an interesting point. There are many indications throughout the Old Testament as to the pre-incarnate existence of Christ. Be looking for such terms as "the voice of God" and contextually "THE angel of the Lord" such as in the case of Gideon. In a lot of places, it simply reads "an angel of the Lord" and we can read through the context and see that the angel mentioned is simply an angel. But in the case of Gideon, "THE angel of the Lord" allowed Gideon to sacrifice to Him which any other angel would not. It makes for an interesting and uplifting study.
Happy Hunting.

Christian, I'd always thought it humorous that God asked Adam, "Hast thou eaten of the tree...". When God knew he had eaten.
Dear Deboraw;
I often ask the same question of my children: "Did you do ...?" for the express purpose of getting them to understand/realize what they have done. Some people say this is wrong for it allows them the opportunity to lie or develop lying skills. However, if the parent already knows that the child did the offense, then the parent can address the issue of lying and correct it.
In the case of Adam and Woman, God wanted them to realize they had done wrong and sinned as well as admit to the wrong-doing. In this accunt, we also have the first court of law. :)

GODHEAD i just knew it.... as i say the only joke i have is that i do not C him....
it is so sad when c while country men attack eachother with all... big man tells me what are you gonna do about it? NOTHING that´s for sure.... but move my given grace a little you know me father... then you know how i fly around like a little alien.... with a grey and sad expression in face...
from the dead sea fish can be found funny as you know fish that "in funny stories" maybe contain some good DNA to look for... who knows but who prove if not by words belief is put.... we could be wrong we could be right, but at least we don´t blow up buildings and innocint people by testing such fish... or do we? I don´t think we do... i think ark is a big battery with + angels and - angels but i know there is a GOD and have shown that for 4 years yeah i mean shown for real, didn´t do that from birth that´s for sure... think if just by given a name with GOD means you can talk to him, so has it allways been said, but even if i read it 100 times i would not fully understand the depht and truth of the meaning... i think for some bible is read in a couple of days... and closed like hmmmmmmmmmmmm............can i go now. don´t get me wrong i am not smart or arrogant but a bang can be just a bang and not a long talk with father... some things are simply plain simple... yes i know not to put faith in too many bird nor fish so maybe thats why it is said so do not let the fish drown you so to speak or don´t think you are free as a bird, they said i was a little bird when i was born, yeah in lightning then you have understood that too... tell me you can misunderstand what concers your life.. i think GOD ofc knew me from birth and he don´t c with his eyes, he knows and if he lets some hold his chest sometimes i can´t beleive i still sit here in allive.... so ofc i can find good in that, but HE does as he feels as the only one... btw have allways thought it was a sealion but i actually beleive your fish/version more... sounds more right... to me...

why diff times/versions of bibles? i never understand how a man or woman can bash into another with arrogance telling so and so, cuz what right have one to play arrogant to another in that´s YWHW house of HIS that´s where you have read too much text with eyes peiled... to be gentle and therefore vulnable bye thinking of others ofc is to have the true courrige where true love can only lie within... if some delete texts i shout clan work clan work and shame yeh kabala to his withnesses... cuz then you haven´t understood any of it... truth to 100 % or nothing why you think Jesus in a way pushed romans authority away cuz he knew the truth as the light he was.. In my oppinion sorry you read way to much to even understand mass transit, I didn´t c Jesus at one single time walking around with books.? yet he might have seen that knowledge through another thing hmmmmmm wonder what that only thing could be...that´s why i feel that a reader can never tell a receiver cuz why do x more time by reading it out again, that halleluja... sorry for saying so but in the other way text cannot by an smart originator corrupt souls of men cuz they know where to fly all the way to his witnesses hehehe.... :) just fun... putting out light for others i would say is a bad parrent 1,2,3 or 100 children doesn´t make up for that turn off of lux. you can think so but maybe that´s why there is war... Cuz i haven´t seen any preacher or priest that said something i couldn´t not have asked father for myself... and by latin what is that to the old... Jesus didn´t talked any language yet i beleive ofc he could speak latin.. so the "pope so to speak also had a mass transit headphone key thing" to tune in with... :) yes this is wild, but i am Jan no JOB, no messiach and JAN with faith in his yeah of 2010 with that time visiable to higher ones... I don´t care what people state so is it allways, truth lies within you and all around you... split a piece of wodd in am inside lift a stone (from your heart) and i will lay under it ouside the churches of men... i don´t need to read all thoose illusive bibles, cuz GOD is the WORD why 1000 pages in so many disturbs... if so only to understand life bye a book why then war in the land of holy where i think the pagers of bible have been turned many more times than it has been in europe... gutenberg, bl.al how many bibles we need to seperate the only one thing between.. we thought many bibles was good but in fact we only made GOD bigger and harder to understand.. sable me down i don´t care and don´t get so lifted by hearing your envy which is a thing mold from desire of the hearth.. in hearth lies the secret of angels and therefore secret the secret among men...
