The First Divorce

When Adam and Eve (Havah) sinned, Yahweh "sent him forth from the Garden of Eden" in Genesis 3:23. Then in verse 24 it says" He drove out the man". Interesting. So he sent them out twice? Huh? Maybe they were holding onto a tree and wouldn't let go?  So, He had to say it twice.  No.  When He sent him forth, he was casting them out of the Garden.  They had to leave but when you look up the word drove in Hebrew it says to divorce as with a woman.  When Adam sinned and broke the Eden covenant he was given a divorce.  He no longer had the relationship with Yahweh that he had in the Garden.  "They heard the voice of Adonai, Elohim, walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze,"  Gen. 3:8.  For there to be a divorce there had to be a covenant with commandments, statutes, etc.  Christians will argue there was no Law given until Sinai.  No, it just wasn't written down until then.  You know, tell a child several times to do a chore then write it down, in stone.  Maybe then we will get that He meant it.

If there was no Torah given before Mt. Sinai then why:

Adam and Eve chose to listen to satan, god of this world and sinned. "You shall have no other gods before me"   Which was in violation of the first commandment. 

Jacob was told to get rid of the idols that they had with them.  Gen. 35:2-4 "Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that [were] with him, Put away the strange gods that [are] among you, and be clean, and change your garments:"  Violation of the second commandment.

If what Ham did wasn't sin why did Noah curse Canaan?  Gen.9:24-25 "And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. And he said, Cursed [be] Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren."

And if Cain killing Abel wasn't sin, why is he cursed? Gen. 4:10-11 "And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. And now [art] thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;" Violation of sixth commandment.

What about Joseph telling Potiphar's wife he would not sleep with her and do wickedness and sin against Yahweh?  Gen. 39:8-9 "But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Be There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?" Violation of seventh commandment.

Gen 26:5 "Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."  Abraham was considered a friend of Elohim.

Gen. 38:6-8 Y'hudah took a wife for 'Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.  But 'Er, Y'hudah's firstborn, was evil from ADONAI's perspective, so ADONAI killed him.  Y'hudah said to Onan, "Go and sleep with your brother's wife - perform the duty of a husband's brother to her, and preserve your brother's line of descent."   This is from Deut. 25:5.  "If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her."

There are many more scriptures that show that Torah was given before it was written down. We have to understand that Torah will all its commandments, statutes, judgements, etc. were given to not just to the Jews, but to the Israelites, His people.  So if we are grafted into the Commonwealth of Israel and the root bears us, we partake of the root not the other way around.  The Jews who have always kept His Torah will not have anything to do with christianity because it is not of Yahweh.  It is not the Jews who have to come over to chrisitainity but, us who have Yeshua need to repent and keep Torah.  And then will their eyes be opened to recieve Yeshua.
