3941 BC: Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden

1.)  When was Adam and Eve placed in the Garden of Eden in world history and biblical history?

a.)  3941 BC!

2.)  It is in the context of 4000 BC.  It happened nearly 7000 years ago.  This is taken in context of Christ.  From a historical viewpoint the Bible is 4000 years old where the Old Testament Book of Genesis is the oldest book like this:

a.)  It provides the earliest and reliable record of pre-mid-post fallen man.
b.)  If Adam could name the animals and his wife, I suppose he was also able to write, because language is contacted to thought and thought to language.
c.)  Adam and Eve understood what was God-breathed in their changeable condition because their wills were subject to change but for a time being they kept God's first covenant.
d.)  Even in mutable changeableness Adam and Eve touching a pre-Fall changeable sinlessness obeyed God's commandment but here is where Adam and Eve were human beings of radical conditional salvation.  Imagine if preservation of the saints was not true for changeless glorification?  It is true because of Christ.

3.)  When did Adam and Eve fall in the Garden?

a.)  3940 BC!

4.)  It took about a year for them to fall in the Garden, but will it take a year for you to fall out of Jesus?  By no means!  It keeps His children forever no matter what.
