Discussion:
Eve had everything – except one tree. Why do we always want the one thing we can’t have?
Why did God allow Satan in the garden?
We have free will. Why is that important to God?
Do you enjoy freedom of choice?
Would you want someone to love you if they are being forced to?
Adam wasn’t deceived. Why did he disobey?
Did Adam want Eve more than he wanted God?
Adam and Eve had a perfect world and it wasn’t enough. How do you view your world?
They tried to cover themselves but it wasn’t good enough. Why?
Do you believe that all choices have consequences?
Is it easy to obey?
Have you disobeyed your parents?
Did you get caught?
Did you blame it on someone else?
Were you punished for it?
