The Sin of Adam and Eve

Text: Genesis 3:1-15

School LEON omni ttet.

By W. E. GILROY, D..D. Editor of Advance HAT is the nature of sin? And how did it come into the world? Is the story upon which our lesson is based, that of the serpent tempting Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, an adequate explanation? Is it to be taken literally? And. if so, just what does it offer us? These are questions that, a generation ago, would have occasioned bitter controversy. Fortunately, we have progressed to a'stage where we can at least discuss them today without rancor, or . without being accused of being disloyal to Christ and the New Testament if we fail to see in the Genesis story a literal account to the orgin of sin. The obvious interpretation, if the approach to the Bible had not been so seriously affected by the controversy about literalism, would be to regard the story as a sort of allegory. In real life serpents do not talk; and that in itself should remind us that we are in the realm of poetry or imagination when reading this page that comes from the early records and traditions of human experience. ” n 2

UT if the story is not literally real, that does not mean that it has no truth to impart. One must remember that the finest of moral and spiritual teachings have been given to the world in the form of parables and stories, both in the Bible and apart from its sacred writings. The imaginative tales of Aesop and other writers have been a. highly specialized medium of moral instruction. We should remember that early religious writers were seeking to account for what they found in human experience. In human experience they saw with deep reality the fact of sin. They were much truer and more realistic observers than many modern people who tell us that sin is a delusion of an illusion, and who refuse to regard it as a reality at all. The one strong, insistent truth

pr

in the lesson is that sin is a reality in human life. Along with this is the clear representation that sin is a form of man’s disobedience to law. Here, in the story, the law would seem fo be arbitrary, but that is not necessarily the teaching of the writer. What he is stressing, rather, is that sin is disobedience There is, of course, an interpretation of this story which sees the problem in quite a different light. On this other interpretation, the socalled “fall of man” is regarded as a “fall upward.” In this conception, sin comes through the knowledge of good and evil, but it is only through this knowledge of good and evil, and through the possibility of falling into evil, that man can choose the good way, and progress in it. From this view, sin, with all its terrible aspects, is an incident in the progress of man onward and upward.

2 ” »

T would seem impossible to take either of these views as a complete conception. The early pages of the Old Testament correspond to the testimony of human ¢xperience in the clear assertion that sin is destructive and deadly. ‘Be sure your sin will find you out.” sary The possibility of sinning may be implied in the possibility of choosing the good way, but that does not make it any less true that the “wages of sin is death” when man chooses the wrong way. Nor can sin be regarded as a part of man’s progress as he learns by his mistakes. The unfortunate part is that men too widely, and too terribly, sin despite | their knowledge of a better way.
