What If-

What if… By Dane Smith-Johnsen In the Garden of Eden, Adam lived while life was wrought. He knew God's work was taking place beyond that garden wall. Together, he and Jehovah walked; everything was taught. God brought first creatures formed on earth and gave Adam a call. “Please help me. Name each one,” said God. That was before man's fall. Adam, in the garden's light said, “Sure, there's so much time.” I'll help you, Lord; I'll name them all, from over sized to small. With this new work, his thoughts were full; and naming things was fine. The eons passed, new creatures formed, all before man's fall. One by one, he named them all as his light shone straight and tall. At last our Earth was interlinked, all creatures and the man. As soon as all that work was done, there was some time for fun. But idle Adam all alone forgot God's greatest plan. Although, God came, Adam was sad, creation all but done. Jehovah did not hesitate. None found? Should He clone one? God and Adam, best of friends, had both worked tirelessly? But time had come to be a man; so God made Eve, woman. We cannot tell how long those two lived romping, happily. Or when God gave that first command to test immortal man. But as we know, the story goes; they ate and then were banned. There are some questions one must ask and answers to invite. If, Eve perchance had skipped the fruit, then, where would we all be? Would we be watching earnestly with hopes that Eve would bite? We unborn spirits that God knew, all waiting patiently? The winners of all heaven's war who won God's fight for right? And why did Adam, knowing God, decide to join in sin? Did he prefer a mortal life in place of lonely days? And if he chose the other way, then, what would be our end? Should he have spared another rib and sent Eve on her way? Can we say, he loved her much. So, he choose to join sin's fray?
