In a beginning, there was a golden age, a time when man lived and did not die. A time when man walked with God in such close communion that death had no recognition or power. Innocence of evil, protected the first man Adam, but also became a snare to him when faced with a knowledge that appealed to the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and a knowledge desired to make him wise. 1 John 2:16: For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the father, but of the world.
