There are some questions we must ask of the text which will help us understand the home story Genesis is telling.
God said we are “good”; does that mean “morally pure and without sin”? What does it mean humanity was created “from dust”? Was Eden a pristine place of immortality? Did God make us perfect, without the capacity to make a mistake? Is that even a biblical definition of perfection?
And, most importantly, can we really live the way God designed for us to live?
