About Brenda Martin
Expertise
I have been one of Jehovah`s Witneses now for over 30 years, in those years I have brought up 4 children, teaching each of them the bible.Being one of Jehovah`s Witnesses has helped me cope with my Epilepsy and bring up a daughter with learning difficulties.I have conducted bible studies with people from nearly every denomination i.e. Muslim. Having used the bible all these years to answer peoples questions, I feel I am qualified to give any answer regarding Jehovah`s Witnesses and the bible.

Experience
My experience has been one of attending bible lectures 5 times a week,taking part in these lectures in front of an audience and being with thousands of J.W. at conventions where I have seen the bible at work in peoples lives.It is truly a miracle when you see thousands of people meeting together and not one policeman needed, and not even a piece of litter in sight.It is like another world.

Jehovah`s Witness - Adam and Eve


Expert: Brenda Martin - 8/19/2006

Question
If God never intended adam and eve to sin why did he build them with repoductive organs ?

Answer
HI there, Many people think the "sin" was having sexual relations, but this is not what the bible teaches at all.

God's purpose was to have the earth "filled" with perfect humans enjoying everlasting life, so of course that meant them having relations.

The sin was simply; they ate from a literal tree in the garden they had been told not to eat from,it was a simple test to see if they appreciated all that God had given them, they failed.

If you would like a more detailed explanation with supporting scriptures let me know.

all the best
Brenda
