In entering into what most people call the fall, I wish to first build upon the information given last week as well as to point out the statment Solomon makes in:

Ecc_7:29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man (Lit. Ath Eh'ADaM / ??????? ) upright; but they have sought out many inventions.

So when we consider Adamic man and the creation which YHWH God had made, it is by seeing what was prior said in Gen_1:26-28, that originally Adam as a people were made in the image and likeness of God, not only in the physical but also in the psychological, this is a word which has been shrouded with thoughts of sanity and insanity, yet it is a great Greek derived word to speak of the soul and cognitive portion of a being; and when we consider Adam made in the likeness of the spiritual God we are left with no other thought than to understand that he was made sinless, as well he was endowed with the mind, heart and soul which was prone to love God and his first instinct was to be perfect like YHWH, yet also like YHWH Adamic man had a jealousy and a desire, unlike YHWH Adam is not self contained as eternal and immortal as he is flesh (this is controversial, but we will see the language in the text which offers us evidence that Adam without the tree of life was made to die from the beginning and he as flesh was dependent upon the fruit of that tree, to freely eat and live himself).

Here in Gen 1 we saw the duel nature of Adam as a spiritual being in his likeness and a physical being in his image; both came from YHWH God, yet neither were exactly like YHWH, rather they were copies, being "in our image and after our likeness", yet nevertheless Man was created upright as Solomon clearly says, drawing his thoughts from this part of Genesis.
