Men fell to calamity when Adam failed to ask a question
His question should have been: “Eve, why talk to this silly animal?”
“Ask God your questions.” Poor, gullible Eve!
Since that day men have tried to compromise with God.
In their zealous waste of vision they’ve broken boundaries;
daring to venture ever closer to the fire and flame of Hell.
In this present age men have lost all reason, inviting war more often
over nothing more than self-interest. God’s tolerance for this may seem
peculiar but the scriptures declare one day God will make His stand.
And that is what my joy and happiness depends upon
God’s promises to correct man’s likeness back to His own
His agape form of love is so much more than any man could ever display
It brought Him to earth to battle the opponent then humble Himself in death!
Oh you don’t know, man!
To endure the shame of sin for even a minute’s time;
Then return His Spirit to earth to seek kindred for His kingdom!
How unique and precious can the One True God be!
Man! Where is your desire? What do you require to feel free?
This very moment you are tethered to the keeper of the key
To hell’s front door and how do you respond; with a tear?
No. You believe it is more expedient for you to return to dust
Or to seek the long night rather than cooperate with the Great God!
Well, the scroll and the Spirit testify truth.
They never lie, but sing the quality of life
They exemplify the just God
Able to bestow life eternal to men of faith!

well done
Use of words and imagry were great. The story wise and crafted well.

The past, present and future all rolled up in your write, clever usage of the word prompt, lot of truth, conviction, restoration, jubilation shouting in your write. Excellent. Thanks for entering. Blessings.

And to think that Adam could have gotten a New Wife and avoided this whole global mess.
Thanks for sharing.

No no you have it all wrong.
Adam should have asked
" eve, why does allknowing god who forsees all events pester you with this persuasive snake... becuse it seems to me like its a mousetrap"
and she being the women would reply
" Ask god your questions "
But we know the story. Dont we? And we know men...
" later eve, im enjoying this front row view of heaven under this tree"
Apparently we exist becuse of it. If it be the mousetrap that spawned me - then be it my task to master it.
