Birthday suit

A humorous take on Adam (the one who lived with Eve in the Garden of Eden) and how easy it was for the entire human race to fall into corruption comes from a surprisingly funny source. I've been reading the writing of a guy called "Doc Love" who editorializes for AskMen. In his book "The System" he states:

Adam, the first wimp, had his shot, missed it, and it's been downhill ever since. Just because a Kim Basinger look-a-like named Eve walked by in her latest birthday suit, he didn't have to slobber all over himself and beg to take a bit - of the apple that is! Adam knew they had it made in the garden; no pollution, and the best, no parking enforcement!

What Adam should have said was, "Eve, forget that snake, or forget me." He might have even tried bluffing. But Adam was "whipped," and the rest is bad history. You guys must never underestimate the power of a woman, even without a serpent.

The Roman philosopher Seneca stated that, "He who boasts of his descent praises the deeds of another." I don't mean to sound like a misogynist because Adam was fully responsible for his own actions, but look at how easy it was for our descendant, Adam, to fall from his lofty position before God! On the other hand, look at how difficult it was for Jesus to redeem those who would be called sons (and daughters) of God! In order to repeal Adam's disobedience when he bit into the apple, Jesus had to bite, swallow and digest sin, death and the grave for us. Are you the descendant of Adam or Jesus? Just something to chew on as you consider the truth behind Easter...
