Who Told You That You Were Naked? By William E. Combs is an interesting book, He opens with some fictitious events from the beginning of Genesis, but strays too far from the truth found in the Word of God. in my estimation, William E. Combs gives the reader an interpretation of some of the early passages of the Old Testament. This book is great to have at Bible studies as it encourages people to develop critical thinking skills when reading the Bible stories of Adam and Eve and others.
The author used personal experiences to help illustrate his points, as well as provided study questions for the discussion of the bible verses. And since Adam and Eve were certainly not the last to disobey God he lists many other Biblical characters as examples of people who have sinned and then received forgiveness because of the sacrifice of Jesus. . Combs goes on to explain how that one simple act opened the world up to the concept of sin. He delves into how prior to the eating of the fruit what was once not noticeable became suddenly apparent. And since Adam and Eve were certainly not the last to disobey God he lists many other Biblical characters as examples of people who have sinned and then received forgiveness because of the sacrifice of Jesus.
And since Adam and Eve were definitely not the last to disobey God he lists many other Biblical characters as examples of people who have sinned and then received forgiveness because of the sacrifice of Jesus. Choosing to disobey God created all sorts of feelings that Adam and Eve had never dealt with before shame, fear, knowledge of good and evil. I think God would have preferred to spare them from these feelings, but it was their choice. Learning faith can be tough. The author examines faith, redemption, and the walk of a Christian including the opposition of the adversary.
I will admit some of the personal testimony included in this book caused me to wonder if Combs didn’t take some liberties with those events. One key occurrence was when his wife felt compelled to open the door when at home and what followed after. I’ve never heard testimony such as that, nor have I heard testimony related to what used to keep Combs and his wife up on Saturday nights. The book is absolutely refreshing and goes a long way to assist a Christian's walk with the Lord. It opens your eyes to the various dimensions to overcome sin, challenges and grow spiritually. I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. As such, there wasn’t anything I didn’t like about it.
