On the day that the Lord gave me the opposite of shame ... I began thinking of all other opposites in the first 3 chapters of Genesis ... It's been helpful thinking through some of these things though now as I am looking at the list some of them need to go together or I would shift them a bit but I thought it would be helpful to have it written here for my future study. I'm not sure which of them came first - so this list is random...
Garden Gift - Curse: work the ground
dominion - curse the ground
earth fruitful - curse the ground
live forever - finite
naked - animal skins
naked - fig leaves
eyes closed? - eyes opened
presence - cast out
access to God - cast out
image bearers - now image marred
unashamed - shameful
blessed - cursed
tree of life - tree of the knowledge of good and evil
open walk with God - hiding
relational peace? - blame
peace? - the enemy
righteous - broken
truth - lie
innocent - guilty
fullness - emptiness
life - death
wholeness - sin
provision - work
delights - toil
unlike God? - like God
freedom - guarded
humility - pride
God-centered - self-centered
see the Lord - see only self
sin - innocence
shame - wonder
