According to the biblical account, God fashioned the earth's garden with no resistance and replete with natural beauty and resources for man's flourishing. Man, in turn, lacked any attributes that could challenge this divine creation, as such opposition would risk detracting from God's glory. Instead, man was designed to be wholly captivated by the personal gifts bestowed upon him by God.The origin of time is believed to have been initiated by God through the process of speaking everything into existence, reminiscent of an artist filling a canvas with beauty. The story of the garden, with its meticulously crafted landscape and the creation of the most glorious creature, man, was described with perfect unity and symmetry. Adam's task of naming the animals demonstrated his discernment and pleasure in matching their unique characteristics. This idyllic setting was free from negative emotions such as sorrow, weakness, pride, envy, and worry, with the story being recounted in a manner that paid homage to God's superiority. Through the establishment of the implanted law, individuals attained a heightened level of rationality that enabled them to accurately articulate the interconnectedness and coherence of all phenomena. All activities and pursuits were executed with an acute awareness of the distinction between God's directive and God's reverence. The execution of these activities was carried out flawlessly, leaving no room for the notion that assisting God would lead to a reduction in success. The effectiveness of God's word was fully realized through a covenant of faithfulness established with humanity. In this covenantal bond, humanity had no justifiable grounds to resist or oppose anything as it would constitute a breach of trust in God's honor and glory. The serpent entered the garden with an astute comprehension of man's inability to resist opposition in pursuit of God's word, and offered man the glory for creation. Having been expelled from heaven for defying God's command, the serpent employed the same law that had proven successful for man to now curse him with bondage. Sin introduced the new reality that man was incapable of comprehending God's perfect gifts, causing him to turn inward and don leaves. However, it was God who restored the saints by cursing the devil and initiating a new renewal of all things.David was very honest with God. He complained and cursed and blamed in Gods presence. Whatever the bible teaches we must submit without question. There are many man who have no experience in pronouncing the Psalms who do not teach the raging GOD IN THE BIBLE.According to theological beliefs, every individual who sins is inherently born with a state of spiritual blindness. This blindness was forfeited in a covenant bond of complete trust without any impairment. Moreover, not only are we unable to perceive the blessings bestowed upon us by God, but we are also incapable of resisting temptation due to our inherent nature. Consequently, the apostle urges us to utilize the word of God, which contains laws and curses, as a means of opposing our natural tendencies, as our own ability is bound to fail.Throughout my 45 years of observation, I have witnessed the fervent religious devotion of many honorable individuals who lack familiarity with legal concepts and malevolent forces. This has resulted in a society teeming with nefarious influences, and the most difficult reality to acknowledge is our inherent incapacity to confront evil. Our excessive trust and naivete make it difficult for us to recognize and address the profound depravity that surrounds us. As a Psalmist who has spoken about laws and curses, I have been shunned by even the most esteemed Biblical scholars.
