“Laws To Live By”

Dear Early Reader,
The Bible took roughly sixteen hundred years to write, and the first five books were written around 1425 BC by Moses. Moses lived thousands of years after Adam and Eve, and that means that Adam and Eve didn’t have a copy of the Bible. The reason for this is simple – the Old Testament is a law for Jewish people (Deu 5:1-3), and the New Testament is a law for christians (1 Cor 9:21)… Adam and Eve weren’t Jews or christians. Adam and Eve had a law from God, and it can be found in Gen 2:15-17. Adam and Eve’s law was to care for the Garden of Eden and to never eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. God has always had laws for people to live by, but Adam and Eve’s laws were different than ours.
