Same old same old. . ."Hath God said?"
No,
deal with the argument. I am laying out an argument using evidence assessing the composition of Gen. 2-3.
Do you agree that there is a great deal of similarity in the way that the story of Israel is presented in the Deuteronomistic History and how the story of Adam is presented in Gen. 2-3?
Nope. . .those supposed "similarities" show an ignorance of Scripture.
Israel's history as a nation can be broken down as follows:
1.
Israel is “created” by God at the exodus through a cosmic battle (gods are defeated and the Red Sea is “divided”
;
Israel was "created" without cosmic battle at Ge 32, 42-43, not at the Exodus.
2. The Israelites are given Canaan to inhabit, a lush land flowing with milk and honey;
The Israelites had to take Canaan in bloody battle in order to inhabit it.
3. They remain in the land as long as they obey the Mosaic law;
They were not expelled from the land upon their disobedience, nor after their first warning regarding their disobedience.
4. They persist in a pattern of disobedience and are exiled to Babylon.
Israel was in violation of the covenant for at least 300 years before being exiled to Babylon.
Israel’s history parallels Adam’s drama in Genesis:
1. Adam is created in Genesis 2 after the taming of chaos in Genesis 1;
Adam did not exist prior to God's forming him from dust in Ge 2, whereas
Israel existed over 400 years before the Exodus.
2. Adam is placed in a lush garden;
Adam did not have to take the garden in bloody battle, as Israel had to take Canaan.
3. Law (not to eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil) is
given as a stipulation for remaining in the garden;
"Thou shalt not eat of it" was not stated as a stipulation for remaining in the garden,
but as a stipulation for retaining eternal life.
Exile from the garden was the result of his loss of eternal life, verified in his loss of physical life.
4. Adam and Eve disobey and are exiled.
Adam is exiled immediately upon disobedience, not 300 years later, as was Israel.
Your source is ignorant of the Scriptures and handles them very loosely.
Nor do you know Scripture well enough to evaluate what he says.
I suggest you get in a good Bible study and learn the Word of God.
