Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina
After the man, Adam, had eaten of the tree, the Lord God called to the man and asked him, “Where are you?” He answered, “I heard you in the garden; but I was afraid, because I was naked, so I hid myself.” Then He asked, “Who told you that you were naked?” (Gn 3:8-11).
The Scriptures are full of questions – by one count, more than 2,500 of them. The first is posed by the serpent in the garden of Eden, “Did God say, ‘You shall not eat from any tree in the garden?’” (Gn 3:1). The last is mournfully cried out by seafarers in the mystical vision of the fall of Babylon recounted in the Book of Revelation, “What city was like the great city?” (Rv 18:18).
