BB1.4 - Brokenness entered creation when man rebelled against God's Kingdom...
Brokenness entered creation when man rebelled against God’s Kingdom (reign) and wanted to be like God (Gen 3)
Another of the theological truths or building blocks that gives us some insight in God’s Plan is based on Genesis 3. Genesis 3 communicates a different story than Genesis 1. Unlike Genesis 1 which tells us about God's very good creation and man's uncontaminated relationship with him, Genesis 3 communicates how sin became part of reality. It is the tragic narrative of how devastation, brokenness, sorrow, sickness, suffering, famine, injustice and misery are cancelling out everything that used to be good.
Like Genesis 1, the contents of Genesis 3 also have already given rise to cartoons, jokes and a lot of attacks on the credibility of the story. The two special trees in the garden of Eden, the talking snake, Satan in a disguised animal form, God walking in the garden, fig-leaf clothes for two humans and a whole host of other reasons are used to emphasize the so-called ridiculousness of the story. Their comments: this is just another proof of how Christianity (and Judaism) cling to to archaic superstitions - even the Greek gods are more acceptable to a modern society.
And now thePLAN uses Genesis 3 as a building block to help us understand God's plan? Now we emphasize that brokenness became part of the universe when man rebelled against God's Kingdom (sovereignty) by also wanting to be like God?
Just as the essential message of Genesis 1 is a critical building block in the revelation of God's Plan, so is Genesis 3. It is our viewpoint that it is not possible to have an understanding of God's greater cosmic plan when the implications of Genesis 1 and 3 are denied or contradicted.
Genesis 1 describes God's very good creation.
Genesis 3 recounts a creation that has become broken.
Genesis 1 describes how man thrives under God's presence and rule.
Genesis 3 recounts how man suffers under his own rule.
Genesis 1 narrates how the whole creation was intended to bring honour and glory to the Creator.
Genesis 3 relates how a rebellious humanity has turned away from God and hoisted a banner stating: It's all about us!
Genesis 1 recounts how man flourished with God.
Genesis 3 tells the story of man's aspiration and effort to be his own god.
Genesis 1 is all about God's Will.
Genesis 3 is about man's will.
Genesis 1 describes how man is nurtured by God's holy presence (in the garden).
Genesis 3 tells us how these same people became shy, taking cover and hided away from God. Thus they became the ancestors of a toiling and scheming humanity, searching for purpose and meaning in their existence.
Genesis 1. Genesis 3. Two contrasts with cosmic implications. And also two contrasts with personal implications.
Gebrokenheid het deel van die skepping geword toe die mens teen God se Koninkryk (heerskappy) gerebelleer het deur ook soos God te wil wees (Gen. 3).
Nog een van die teologiese waarhede of boublokke wat ons help om iets van God se Plan te verstaan is gebaseer op Genesis 3. Waar Genesis 1 vertel van God se baie goeie skepping en die mens se ongekontamineerde verhouding met Hom, vertel Genesis 3 ŉ ander storie. Genesis 3 vertel hoe sonde deel van die realiteit geword het, hoe stukkendheid, gebrokenheid, hartseer, verwerping, siekte, lyding hongersnood, onreg en verlorenheid ŉ kruis kom trek deur dit wat so goed was.
Net soos Genesis 1 is Genesis 3 ook ŉ hoofstuk wat al aanleiding gegee het tot spotprente, grappies en baie aanslae op die geloofwaardigheid van die verhaal. Die twee besondere bome in die paradystuin, die pratende slang, Satan in vermomde vorm, God wat wandel in die tuin, vyeblaarklere vir die twee oermense en ŉ hele rits ander redes word gebruik om die sogenaamde belaglikheid van die verhaal te beklemtoon. So sê hulle: hierdie is net nog ŉ bewys van die Christendom (en Jodedom) se verstokte vasklemming aan argaïese bygelowe – selfs die Grieke se gode is meer modern.
En nou gebruik DiePLAN Genesis 3 as ŉ boublok om God se Plan te kan verstaan? Nou beklemtoon ons dat gebrokenheid deel van die skepping geword het toe die mens teen God se Koninkryk (heerskappy) gerebelleer het deur ook soos God te wil wees?
Net soos die essensie of wesensboodskap van Genesis 1 ŉ kritiese boublok in die openbaring van God se Plan is, so is Genesis 3 dit ook. Ons oortuiging is dat dit nie moontlik is om begrip te hê vir God se groter kosmiese Plan wanneer Genesis 1 en 3 se betekenis ontken of afgewater word nie.
Genesis 1 vertel van God se baie goeie skepping.
Genesis 3 vertel van ŉ skepping wat stukkend geword het.
Genesis 1 vertel van die mens wat floreer onder God se HEERskappy.
Genesis 3 vertel van die mens wat ly onder sy eie heerskappy.
Genesis 1 vertel van die Skeppergod oor wie ALLES in die skepping ten diepste gaan.
Genesis 3 vertel van ŉ rebellerende mensdom wat sê dit gaan oor ons – it’s all about us!
Genesis 1 vertel van die mens saam met God.
Genesis 3 vertel van die mens se strewe en poging om sy eie god te wil wees.
Genesis 1 vertel van God se Wil.
Genesis 3 vertel van die mens se wil.
Genesis 1 vertel van die mens gekoester in God se heilige teenwoordigheid (in die tuin).
Genesis 3 vertel aanvanklik van ŉ sku, skuilende en wegkruipende mens. Later van ŉ swoegende en soekende mensdom – onwaardig om in Sy teenwoordigheid te kom (verban uit die tuin)..
Twee kontraste met kosmiese implikasies. Ook twee kontraste met persoonlike implikasies.
