Genesis 3

1 Ang ahas nga ay lalong tuso kay sa alin man sa mga hayop sa parang na nilikha ng Panginoong Dios. At sinabi niya sa babae, Tunay bang sinabi ng Dios, Huwag kayong kakain sa alin mang punong kahoy sa halamanan?

2 At sinabi ng babae sa ahas, Sa bunga ng mga punong kahoy sa halamanan ay makakakain kami:

3 Datapuwa't sa bunga ng punong kahoy na nasa gitna ng halamanan ay sinabi ng Dios, Huwag kayong kakain niyaon, ni huwag ninyong hihipuin, baka kayo'y mamatay.

4 At sinabi ng ahas sa babae, Tunay na hindi kayo mamamatay:

5 Sapagka't talastas ng Dios na sa araw na kayo'y kumain niyaon ay madidilat nga ang inyong mga mata, at kayo'y magiging parang Dios, na nakakakilala ng mabuti at masama.

6 At nang makita ng babae, na ang bunga ng punong kahoy ay mabuting kanin, at nakalulugod sa mga mata, at kahoy na mananasa upang magpapantas sa tao, ay pumitas siya ng bunga niyaon at kinain; at binigyan din niya ang kaniyang asawang kasama niya, at ito'y kumain.

7 At nadilat kapuwa ang kanilang mga mata, at kanilang nakilalang sila'y mga hubad; at sila'y tumahi ng mga dahon ng puno ng igos, at kanilang ginawang panapi.

8 At narinig nila ang tinig ng Panginoong Dios na lumalakad sa halamanan sa kulimlim ng araw: at nagtago ang lalake at ang kaniyang asawa sa harapan ng Panginoong Dios sa pagitan ng mga punong kahoy sa halamanan.

9 At tinawag ng Panginoong Dios ang lalake at sa kaniya'y sinabi, Saan ka naroon?

10 At sinabi niya, Narinig ko ang iyong tinig sa halamanan, at ako'y natakot, sapagka't ako'y hubad; at ako'y nagtago.

11 At sinabi niya, Sinong nagsabi sa iyong ikaw ay hubad? nakakain ka ba ng bunga ng punong kahoy, na iniutos ko sa iyong huwag mong kanin?

12 At sinabi ng lalake, Ang babaing ibinigay mong aking kasamahin, ay siyang nagbigay sa akin ng bunga ng punong kahoy at aking kinain.

13 At sinabi ng Panginoong Dios sa babae, Ano itong iyong ginawa? At sinabi ng babae, Dinaya ako ng ahas, at ako'y kumain.

14 At sinabi ng Panginoong Dios sa ahas, Sapagka't ginawa mo ito, ay sumpain ka ng higit sa lahat ng hayop, at ng higit sa bawa't ganid sa parang; ang iyong tiyan ang ilalakad mo, at alabok ang iyong kakanin sa lahat ng mga araw ng iyong buhay:

15 At papagaalitin ko ikaw at ang babae, at ang iyong binhi at ang kaniyang binhi: ito ang dudurog ng iyong ulo, at ikaw ang dudurog ng kaniyang sakong.

16 Sinabi niya sa babae, Pararamihin kong lubha ang iyong kalumbayan at ang iyong paglilihi; manganganak kang may kahirapan; at sa iyong asawa ay pahihinuhod ang iyong kalooban, at siya'y papapanginoon sa iyo.

17 At kay Adam ay sinabi, Sapagka't iyong dininig ang tinig ng iyong asawa, at kumain ka ng bunga ng punong kahoy na aking iniutos sa iyo na sinabi, Huwag kang kakain niyaon; sumpain ang lupa dahil sa iyo; kakain ka sa kaniya sa pamamagitan ng iyong pagpapagal sa lahat ng mga araw ng iyong buhay;

18 Ang isisibol niyaon sa iyo ay mga tinik at mga dawag; at kakain ka ng pananim sa parang;

19 Sa pawis ng iyong mukha ay kakain ka ng tinapay, hanggang sa ikaw ay mauwi sa lupa; sapagka't diyan ka kinuha: sapagka't ikaw ay alabok at sa alabok ka uuwi.

20 At tinawag na Eva ng lalake ang kaniyang asawa, sapagka't siya ang naging ina ng lahat ng mga nabubuhay.

21 At iginawa ng Panginoong Dios si Adam at ang kaniyang asawa ng mga kasuutang balat at sila'y dinamitan.

22 At sinabi ng Panginoong Dios, Narito't ang tao'y naging parang isa sa atin, na nakakakilala ng mabuti at ng masama; at baka ngayo'y iunat ang kaniyang kamay at pumitas naman ng bunga ng punong kahoy ng buhay, at kumain at mabuhay magpakailan man:

23 Kaya pinalayas siya ng Panginoong Dios sa halamanan ng Eden, upang kaniyang bukirin ang lupaing pinagkunan sa kaniya.

24 Ano pa't itinaboy ang lalake; at inilagay sa silanganan ng halamanan ng Eden ang mga Querubin at ang isang nagniningas na tabak na umiikot, upang ingatan ang daang patungo sa kahoy ng buhay.

The Lord #19

19. The Lord as the Divine-Human One Is Called “The Son of God” and as the Word Is Called “The Son of Humanity”

The church knows only that the Son of God is the second person of the Godhead, distinct from the person of the Father, which results in a belief in a Son of God born from eternity. Since this is everywhere accepted and is about God, there is neither ability nor permission to think about this matter at all intelligently, not even about what it means to be “born from eternity.” This is because people who think about it intelligently inevitably find themselves saying, “This is completely beyond me. Still, I say it because everybody else says it, and I believe it because everybody else believes it.” They should realize, though, that there is no Son from eternity; rather, the Lord is from eternity. Only when they realize what “the Lord” means and what “the Son” means can they think intelligently about a triune God.

[2] As for the fact that the Lord’s human side-conceived by Jehovah the Father and born of the Virgin Mary-was the Son of God, this is obvious from the following in Luke:

The angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city in Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, from the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. Having come in, the angel said to her, “Greetings, you who have attained grace. The Lord is with you; you are blessed among women.” When she saw him, she was troubled by what he said and considered what kind of salutation this was. The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary: you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive and bear a Son, and you will call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Highest.” But Mary said to the angel, “How will this take place, since I have not had intercourse?” The angel replied and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will descend upon you, and the power of the Highest will cover you; therefore the Holy One that is born from you will be called the Son of God.” (Luke 1:26-35)

This passage says “you will conceive and bear a Son. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Highest, ” and again, “The Holy One that is born from you will be called the Son of God.” We can see from this that it is the human nature conceived by God and born of the Virgin Mary that is called “the Son of God.”

[3] In Isaiah,

The Lord himself is giving you a sign. Behold, a virgin will conceive and bear a son, and she will call his name “God with us.” (Isaiah 7:14)

We can see that the Son born of the Virgin and conceived by God is the one who will be called “God with us” and is therefore the one who is the Son of God. There is further support for this in Matthew 1:22-23.

[4] In Isaiah:

A Child has been born to us; a Son has been given to us. Leadership is upon his shoulder; and his name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, God, Hero, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)

It is the same here, since it says “A Child has been born to us; a Son has been given to us, ” who is not a Son from eternity but a Son born into the world. We can see this also from what the prophet says in 6 there and from the words of the angel Gabriel to Mary (Luke 1:32-33), which are similar.

[5] In David:

“I will proclaim concerning the statute, ‘Jehovah has said, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you.”’” Kiss the Son or he will become angry and you will perish on the way. (Psalms 2:7, 12)

It does not mean a Son from eternity here either, but a Son born in the world, because this is a prophecy about the Lord who is going to come. So it is called a statute about which Jehovah was making a proclamation to David. “Today” is not “from eternity” but is in time.

[6] In David:

I will place his hand on the sea. He will cry out to me, “You are my Father.” I will make him the firstborn. (Psalms 89:25-27)

This whole psalm is about the Lord who is going to come, which is why it means the one who will call Jehovah his Father and who will be the firstborn-therefore the one who is the Son of God.

[7] The same holds true elsewhere, when he is called “a shoot from the trunk of Jesse” (Isaiah 11:1), “the branch of David” (Jeremiah 23:5), “the seed of the woman” (Genesis 3:15), “the only-begotten” (John 1:18), “a priest forever” and “the Lord” (Psalms 110:4-5).

[8] The Jewish church understood “the Son of God” to mean the Messiah whom they were awaiting, knowing that he would be born in Bethlehem. We can see from the following passages that they understood “the Son of God” to be the Messiah. In John:

Peter said, “We believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (John 6:69)

In the same:

You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is going to come into the world. (John 11:27)

In Matthew:

The high priest asked Jesus whether he was the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus said, “I am.” (Matthew 26:63-64; Mark 14:62)

In John:

These things have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. (John 20:31; also Mark 1:1)

“Christ” is a Greek word and means “anointed, ” which is what “messiah” means in Hebrew. This is why it says in John, “We have found the Messiah (which is translated, the Christ)” (John 1:41). And in another passage, “The woman said, ‘I know that the Messiah is coming, who is called the Christ’” (John 4:25).

[9] I pointed out in the first chapter that the Law and the Prophets (or the whole Word of the Old Testament) are about the Lord, so the Son of God who is going to come cannot mean anything but the human nature that the Lord took upon himself in the world.

[10] It follows, then, that this is the meaning of the Son mentioned by Jehovah from heaven when Jesus was being baptized: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” (Matthew 3:17; Mark 1:11; Luke 3:22), since his human nature was being baptized. Likewise when he was transfigured: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear him” (Matthew 17:5; Mark 9:7; Luke 9:35).

Then there are other passages as well, such as Matthew 8:29; 14:33; 27:43, 54; Mark 3:11; 15:39; John 1:18, 34, 49; 3:18; 5:25; 10:36; 11:4.
