Why Humans Have the Sense of Shame - Herbert W Armstrong - December 1983

Herbert W Armstrong

What is the real source of the attitude of shame in humans? Part four. In the Western World we take for granted that the sense of shame came from the teachings of the Bible. Indeed it does stem from the forbidden fruit incident in the Garden of Eden - but the real author of shame is not God! Genesis 3 reveals who the real author is! The incident in the Garden of Eden set the course of human history from that moment. It determined the direction followed by humanity from the beginning until now. God had told the first man. Adam, that he, as a man, was wholly physical. Here was the newly created man. Grasp the significance if you can! Suddenly, a full-grown adult MAN received consciousness. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
