Was it a doubt?

Everyone of us read at least one time in life Book of Genesis. And even more of us knows story behind throwing out the first people Adam and Eve from the Paradise. We all know that behind all of this was refusing an order given by God. 

But I would like to go a little bit deeper. What was truly behind all of that? And what was behind refusing a Word of God?

Even if this story is actually short, it bears strong message and thoughts.

First of all, keep in mind, that first people had really beautiful life and there was no fear, or anything we can feel right now. They had confidence in God without doubts. They knew just Him, His orders, His words, they were lucky to have His presence as close as it is possible.  They lived in chastity.

What happened that this all took the change? It is easy to say , and in reality, it is true, that it was because Eve obeyed a snake. What caused this? It started with “Did God actually say..."?. 
It was not just simple refusing of God. It was mistrust about His Word. 

Are we not all many times in situation , when we are face to face of mistrusting, or doubts about , for example our future, our every - day lives, our feelings inside of us? 

Is it not normal sometimes for us that we talk with someone and he/she starts with this question? 

I believe that all of us have moments when we are fearful, when we are anxious, when we are unrest. What causes this in us? Is it not similar to situation, which happened many years ago in Paradise to our first parents, but in different understanding? Was it not a doubt caused by snake, which lead Eve to take that apple from the tree?

It is all caused by that slimy voice back in our head which is able to speak to us.  "Did God actually say...?"...is absolutely dubitative thought about Word of God.

We can see it, by the way, now in many situations. Society is so savage nowadays. Many things which Christians are used to say is "Is it truly written in Bible in this way..? And worse: Is the Bible truly Word of God?

The truth is that we can not take from Bible just things we like. The Bible is not the Book, which contains just some passages, which in our opinion fits to our times. It is the Book which fit to every time with all of things which are down there. So if it is written that God said....so be sure that God said it like it is.

Be careful about what you keep in your mind. Be careful about how often you read your Bible and never be unsure about what is written here. There is no bigger and more truthful Word than the Word of God. So if He said something, believe it and live it. And never let yourself with that slimy voice back in your head to make you doubtful. Because that is his goal: to make you unrest and unsure. And it always leads into damage, mainly yourself.
