Tension is introduced in the story when Adam and Eve decide to go their own way and seek their own wisdom. They listen to the deceptive voice of God's ennemy, Satan, and doubt God's trustworthiness.
As a result of this rebellion:
The lord banished him [ Adam] from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubin and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life (Genesis 3:23-24).
God's intention in Creation is known, but part of his own creation has put his plan off course.
Can God regain his relationship with humanity and remove the curse from creation?
Or did God's ennemy effectively end the plan and subvert the story?
Acts 1 and 2 take only the fisrt few pages in the Bible to be completed. Yet they introduce the
struggle that dominates the rest of the story.
