Leather Jacket Theology


What was the first death in the Bible?

God told them: On the day you disobey, you'll surely die.

She wanted God's knowledge and in one taste, she knew evil. He joined her, and together they cowered in fear, nakedness, and shame.

God found them. He cursed the earth, Serpent, man, and woman. Then He approached bringing death ...


... to a sheep - the first death in the Bible.

The lamb had been killed, not them. Not only were they forgiven, but covered in the bloody lambskin their shameful nakedness was gone.

It was Golgotha in Eden.
