earth? How can they be used to support respecting and taking care of our planet?

 What is our culture’s common misinterpretation of Genesis 3 (the Fall)? What actually

took place according to the text?

 Was the woman tricked by the snake? What do you think? Look back at the text and

take a position.

Gen 2)?
