Obviously, those things shouldn't be in the same melting pot. And I just want to add language, biblically and theologically, as to why God allows suffering. That he doesn't permit it and God does not orchestrate suffering, but God allows it to happen in order for us to experience a compassion with him. And I think that's something that a lot of people get confused on.

And I think that's something that a lot of people get confused on.
Well, why does suffering have to happen in order for compassion to be placed with God? Is it there any other way he could have done it? Why do I have to suffer on the behalf of God? All these things. And we're going to talk about those things today. So buckle in because the Lord is just going to say what he's going to say. So let's just go to chapter... Genesis chapter one.

And we're going to talk about those things today. So buckle in because the Lord is just going to say what he's going to say. So let's just go to chapter... Genesis chapter one.
We're going to start there in the beginning. Anytime I have a question about scripture, I get really stumped in area, just a little life hack. I usually go to the same two spots. I'll go to the crucifixion and I'll go to the beginning of time because that will usually show us two avenues as to where we could be falling and where we need to be more appreciative.

So a lot of the reasons as to why we fall in the same cycles is because of the same things that Adam and Eve fell for in the garden. And then the reason as to why we're saved and redeemed, well, that's what Jesus Christ has done. So those are kind of two pivotal stories. And I think the entirety of like the gospel and this love story we have with God, that's like super important.

And so in Genesis chapter one, through chapter three, we're seeing this unraveling of God creating the heavens and the earth, the birds in the sky, everything in the water and below it. And then he creates male and female. And while he created all the universe and said that it was good, he created us and said that it was very, very good.

And then he creates male and female. And while he created all the universe and said that it was good, he created us and said that it was very, very good.
And so we have to first know that God created male and female and humans in general for the intention for us to be in correct and perfect harmony with God. God's intention to create humanity wasn't for us to do all these things for him or to alter or accelerate his ego, but rather humans were created with God because God wanted to enjoy his relationship that he made with his creation.

So the reason as to why we're alive isn't because we're made to make God egotistical or because we're called to do all these things. But humans, me and you, are simply made to be admired and loved by God. And so we see that man and woman were made. And then we see that Adam's name in all the animals and everything. And then we...

Come to Genesis chapter 3, and we see that there's a snake planted in the Garden of Eden. And so God gave Adam and Eve very simple instruction. He said, look, you can eat from any of these trees, but this one right here, you cannot eat from this one. This is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and you are not allowed to eat from this tree.

Whatever you have, everything else you see in this garden, you could touch, you could eat, you could swing from the trees. But this one right here, that's a no because you will surely die. And so we go to chapter three and we see that Eve is acting just a little delulu and she goes up to this tree. And this is when we have our first or when she has her first encounter with Satan.

And so we go to chapter three and we see that Eve is acting just a little delulu and she goes up to this tree. And this is when we have our first or when she has her first encounter with Satan.
As us reading the Bible, this is the first encounter we have reading about Satan and who he is and the attributes of which he holds. And so Satan, who is masked as a serpent, then tells Eve, Well, if you eat from this tree, like you will certainly not die for God knows that if you eat from it, you will just be, you will be just like him knowing and obtaining all knowledge of what he has.
