Blaming Others - Confession of Sin

   Blame never affirms, it assaults.
   Blame never restores, it wounds.
   Blame never solves, it complicates.
   Blame never unites, it separates.
   Blame never smiles, it frowns.
   Blame never forgives, it rejects.
   Blame never forgets, it remembers.
   Blame never builds, it destroys.
   Let's admit it -- not until we stop blaming will we start enjoying health and happiness again!

See:  Gen 3:12

The Entrance Of Sin  Genesis 3-5

"I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid" (Gen. 3:10).

One of the great mysteries that puzzles philosophers is solved in Genesis 3. Sin is no unexplained remnant of humanity's supposed rise from beastiality, but a heritage flowing from Adam's fall. Yet the focus in these two chapters is not on the fact of sin, but on its consequences.

• Eve succumbed to temptation and induced Adam to disobey God (3:1-6). 
• Overcome by guilt and shame, the pair ran from the Creator God who loved them (vv. 7-10). 
• God found them and explained the consequences of their act (vv. 11-20). 
• God Himself offered history's first sacrifice (v. 21) and led them from the Garden (vv. 22-24). 
• Adam and Eve lived to see sin's consequences in their own family as Cain killed his brother Abel (4:1-16). 
• Lamech, Cain's descendant, represents the sinful society that emerged (vv. 17-26).

Man is not as bad as he can be. But mankind, separated from God, is as bad off as it can be.
