De 32:

4 “The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and upright is he.
Strong's Hebrew: 8549. תָּמִים (tamim) — 91 Occurrences

BDB:

4 sound, wholesome, unimpaired, innocent, having integrity
Was the Garden of Eden created H8549-perfect?

Well, not exactly, Ge 1:

31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good [H3966 H2896]. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
Genesis 1 did not say that God made the Garden of Eden H8549-perfect.

Was Adam created as a perfect human being?

The Hebrew word "perfect" (H8549) was not in Genesis 1. However, Adam was created in a state of moral purity, physical health, and spiritual harmony with God—essentially, "perfect" in the sense of being without flaw or sin at the time of his creation. God's work was perfect.

This perfection was not static or immutable. Adam was given free will (Genesis 2:16–17) and later chose to disobey God by eating the forbidden fruit (Genesis 3:6), leading to the Fall of Man. Imperfection set in. This introduced sin, corruption, and death into the world (Romans 5:12).

Hey Tony

Thanks for this study. It’s a good topic for discussion.

If you could, explain a little to us the point you are wanting us to see about God creating the garden of Eden.

Then we can all engage with you and connect with your perspective.


Thanks. JLB
 
Genesis 1:1-31 and God saw that it was very good.

By these scriptures everything that God created in the beginning was perfect until sin (Satan) entered into the world and started to deceive man. Was it God's fault that man sinned/still sin, or was it the disobedience of one man coming against God's commands allowing himself to be deceived!
 
Well, not exactly
Well, perfectly perfect with no spot nor wrinkle. exactly perfect as God made it.

But, men who study the garden of eden are not perfect, rather likely opposed to perfection; opposed to God? It seems so.

Around 6000 years ago our Lord GOD in His wrath punished the MAN by sent him forth from the garden of Eden, as He revealed to Moses after around 2500 years after Adam, or 1500 years BC, as is written in Genesis 3:22-24:
22
And the Lord GOD said, Behold, the MAN is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the TREE OF LIFE (the invisible GOD is Life-John 1:18, the tree of Life), and eat, AND LIVE FOR EVER:
23
Therefore the Lord GOD sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground FROM WHENCE the MAN was taken -> (the MAN was taken out from the environment of the Garden) .
24 So GOD drove out the MAN; and GOD placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming Sword (Word of fire)
which turned every way, to keep the way OF THE TREE OF LIFE.->The own GOD,the Word is GOD, GOD Himself,the Life,Father of our Lord JESUS Christ,Self-executing,Self-executable.

But, around 4000 years after Adam, or around 2000 years ago, our Lord GOD sent JESUS to make the reconciliation with MAN He had created, and had drove him out of the Garden (John 5:17 and 43); -> Paul Apostle revealed: 2Corinthians 5:18-19: ->18 All things are of GOD, who hath reconciled us to Himself by JESUS Christ, and hath given TO US the MINISTRY of reconciliation; 19 -To wit, that GOD was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not IMPUTING their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the Word of Reconciliation.

>-> (the MAN was taken from a place out of the Garden, and made as GOD said: Genesis 1:26 -> And GOD said, Let us make MAN in our image, after our likeness:...) ->By the way, this will happen again from now on, taking us out from this satanic world of Devil (John 1:12-14) establishing the 3rd heaven-Daniel 2:44-45 and 12:1-3 combined with Ephesians 1:3-23 and Matthew 25:29 and 34 and Revelation 12:10-12, and mainly Luke 20:35-36, take a look),

Revelation 11:15-18 combined with Matthew 5:5 and Revelation 5:10


15 ... The kingdoms OF THIS WORLD are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever.

16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before GOD on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped GOD,
17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord GOD Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

18 And the NATIONS were (WILL BE)angry, and thy WRATH is come (again, after around 6000 years), and the time of the dead, that they should be judged(Daniel 12:2 combined with Isaiah 26:19-21, take a look), and that thou should give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and should DESTROY them which destroy the earth.

Revelation 19:8-9:

9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of GOD.
8 And to her (to the Church, to the GOD's people, sons of GOD by adoption) was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

Alleluia! Praise GOD. Amen.
