Bible passage: Genesis 2:15
"Then the LORD God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it."

This is the 55th Lecture on Genesis. 

In the last lecture, I explained how dinosaurs were driven to the Earth when they tried to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Even as they were being driven out to the earth, however, they still didn't realize their fault. They did not show or feel any sense of remorse or repentant discipline. Instead, they felt that they had been unjustly mistreated. 

They begrudged being driven out of the Garden of Eden even though they didn't eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. How do you feel when you are reprimanded or punished for your mistakes- Those who are humble in heart accept having mistakes pointed out or even the reprimand of a little one. Even when they had nothing to do with the mistake that was pointed out, they check themselves first. However, there are people who don't take it well even when they did do something that should have been pointed out. They fall into many different categories; some seem to acknowledge their fault, but they don't like having attention drawn to it. "I know it's my fault, and I am sorry, but is it really necessary to point it out and draw attention to me-" They feel troubled in their hearts like this. Here is another type of person. 

The person who knows it is their fault, but they consider the faults of others to be worse than their own. They feel that they are the only one whose faults are pointed out and they feel that there are others who have greater faults that are not pointed out. They hold resentment towards those who pointed them out. Some people say they have reasons for their mistakes. They feel they are being treated unfairly because people don't understand the reasons but just point out their mistake. Moreover, some others react to pointing out their faults with harsh words or hard feelings.
