Cain asked his brother Abel to go with him out to the field. 

        While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

Then God asked Cain why he was angry and why his face was downcast.

        God told him if he did what is right, he would be accepted. But if he didn't do what is right, sin is crouching at the door desiring to have him, but he must rule over it.

Later Eve gave birth to Cain's brother Abel.

        Abel kept flocks and Cain worked the soil. In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord.

                And Abel also brought an offering, fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering but on Cain and his offering He did not look with favor.

                        So Cain was very angry and his face was downcast.

Adam made love to his wife Eve and she conceived and gave birth to Cain.

        She said, "With the help of the Lord I have brought forth a man."

So God drove Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which Adam had been taken.

       After He drove them out, He placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

God made garments of skin for Adam and Eve to clothe them.

         God said that now man has become like one of them, knowing good and evil. He must not allow them to reach out and take from the tree of life and eat and live forever.

Adam named his wife Eve because she would become the mother of all the living.

God said to Adam that because he had listened to his wife and ate fruit from the tree about which God had commanded him not to eat; that the ground is cursed; and because of  painful toil, he would eat food from it all the days of his life.

        God said the ground would produce thorns and thistles  and Adam would eat the plants of the field and by the sweat of his brow he would eat his food until he return to the ground. Since Adam was taken from the dust he will return to dust.

To the woman God said that He would make her pains in childbearing very severe with painful labor she would give birth to children. Her desire would be for her husband and  he would rule over her.

So God told the serpent that because he had done this, he was cursed above all livestock and all wild animals! He would  crawl on his belly and eat dust all the days of his life.

       And God told the serpent that He will put enmity between him and the woman. And between his offspring and the woman's.  And that the woman's offspring would crush the serpent's head and the serpent will strike the woman's offspring's heel. 

And God asked Adam, "Who told you that you was naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?"

       Adam said, "The woman you put here with me, she gave me some fruit from the tree and I ate it." He blames God for the woman.

Adam and Eve heard the sound of the Lord as He was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord among the trees of the garden. 

       The Lord call to the man and asked where was he. Adam answered and said he heard the Lord and that he was afraid because he was naked, so he hid.

Then the eyes of both Adam and Eve were opened and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

The serpent told the woman that they would not surely die because God knows that when they eat from it their eyes would be opened and they will be like God, knowing good and evil.

        So when the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and gave it to her husband, who was with her and ate it.

Adam and his wife were both naked and felt no shame.

        Now the serpent was the most crafty of the wild animals that God had made. He asked the woman if God really said that they must not eat from any tree in the garden.

                The woman told the serpent that they may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but that God did say they must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and that they must not touch it or they will die.

 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all wild animals.

         But for Adam no suitable helper was found. So God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep and while he was sleeping, He took one of the man's ribs and then closed up the place with flesh.

                 Then God made a woman from the rib he He had taken out of the man and He brought her to the man. The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, for she was taken our of man." That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife and they become one flesh.

God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."

       Now God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.

The God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.

      And the God commanded the man to freely eat from any tree in the garden; but he must no eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when he eat from it he would certainly die.

A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four rivers.

     The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold.

     The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush.

     The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Ashur.

      The fourth river is the Euphrates. 

The God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground, trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food.

        In the middle of the garden was the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Then the God formed a man from the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

        Now the God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there He put the man He had formed.

This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when God made the earth and the heavens.

       No shrub had yet appeared on the earth and no plant had yet sprung up, for God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.

The heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.

      By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all His work.

              Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it He rested from all the work of creating that He had done, [not because He was tired, He never tires].

Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food."

       "And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground, every thing that has the breath of life in it, I give every green plant for food.:" And it was so.

               God saw all that He had made and it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.

        God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground."

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the animals and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

My blogs have had technical difficulties since Nov 20th. The company I am with put up a create a new blog page and it kept me from getting to my blog dashboard. So I had figured I am out of the blogging business.

There has been a lot of communication between myself and google, blogger.com and webcolleagues in order to get this back online.  I do thank every body for their patience and all those who helped to solve the problem. I am sure I wasn't the only one who was having this problem because there are 100's of thousand of people blogging on these cites.  Thanks again everyone!
