WHAT IF ADAM HAD JUST SAID “I’M SORRY – IT’S MY FAULT”

Adam and Eve ran among the trees and they hid

When they heard God walking through the garden

Because the moment Adam ate of that fruit

He knew all along what they both had did

Their eyes were opened to the fact

That he and Eve were naked now, and

The first thing this great nobility thought to do –

To the Almighty God – was to disavow

He said; “God, it was this woman that you gave to me –

She gave me the fruit, and of it, I did eat”

The Lord asked Eve – “How could you do such a thing?”

She said to the Lord - “Lord the snake tricked me!”

I wonder if Adam had just manned-up and said to the Lord

“I’m sorry Lord, It was my fault and I take full responsibility”

Whether or not Adam’s line of decent would not have been

In all probability fraught with such hostility!

I believe if Adam had simply said

“I’m sorry Lord, and I repent”

Instead of breeching God’s trust with fraudulent intent

That mankind would have much more use of its brain

Than just that infamous (10%) ten percent!
