Questions about evil and suffering are difficult for anyone; and yet the Bible does provide answers and today we'll look at the Fall of Man in Genesis 3, but specifically God's solution to Evil. The answers may surprise us! So, please join us in this foundational passage on why there is evil and suffering and what God is doing about it. GENESIS KEY CHAPTERS DISCUSSION AND THOUGHT QUESTIONS: The following discussion questions can stand alone or be used in conjunction with the Key Chapters podcast. They can be used in a Small Group, family discussion, or for personal reflection. The idea is that the person/group/family will have read the Key Chapter and then answer the questions. Perhaps there would be time to listen to the podcast as well. 1. Based on the podcast, how do you understand the origin of Satan? 2. How did Satan tempt Eve to doubt God's integrity? What is the significance of the fact that Satan used lies and deception to cause Eve to question God? 3. How does Satan deceive people into doubting God today? 4. In what ways does a twisted understanding of God's commands cause people to have a twisted understanding of God, Himself? 5. What does sin look like in the Bible? What does it look like in our world today? How about in our own lives? 6. When Adam sinned, what did he want to learn about? How does this same root still manifest itself in our lives today? 7. Why is love that is expressed volitionally, superior than love that is expressed because it's commanded? 8. What is the Gospel Promise of Genesis 3:15? Who is it speaking of and what will He one day do? How is getting crushed on the head way worse than being wounded on the heal? How did Jesus fulfill this promise? 9. Did God curse Adam in verse 17? If not, then what? How does this help us understand God's love for mankind and the image-bearing-dignity of all people? 10. After the fall, Adam and Eve began to have conflict in their home. How does this passage help us understand the conflict that sometimes arises in our homes today? 11. Did God's command to work come before or after the Fall? How does the curse impact our work experiences today? 12. What do we learn from God making clothes of animal skins for Adam and Eve? What does this teach us about God's loving mercy and provision for His people? What does this tell us about what we need for God to "cover" our sin, today? 13. Why did God send Adam and Eve from the Garden? What would be so bad about living forever but eternally separated from God?
