I would. If I could go back in time and undo so many stupid things I did, I would. If I could go back in time, back to when I was innocent and clueless about the sins and wickedness of the world, I would. If I could go back time and take a different path, get to know God sooner, be a lot wiser, I would. But I can’t.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
So I cannot help but wonder, what would have happened if Eve had not fallen for the devil’s antics? What would have happened if the devil never succeeded in fooling Eve? What would have happened if the devil did not succeed in fooling Eve or anyone else? Where would we be today? Would we still be parading the naked in the garden of Eden? Would we still not know the difference between good and bad?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If Eve had not fallen, would the punishment for men and women be non-existent? If Eve had not fallen, men would not have to toil for the upkeep of themselves and their family. Women would not suffer the pain of childbirth. But I also wonder, would there be menstrual cycles, or is that just as a result of Eve’s sins? Would there be sex, or is that part of knowing the difference between good and evil. If there is no sex, how would we have children? Oh, yeah… just like the Virgin Mary did. If there is no child birth, how would we give birth? Are we gonna wake up one morning and discover we are now parents?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Without Eve’s sin, does that mean there would be no money? After all, [the love of] money is the root of all evil. Without Eve’s sin, does that mean there would be no such thing as having a career et al? Why have a career since there is no such thing as money? After all, money is what compels us to have careers. Without the sin of our first parents, there would be no cancer, no HIV, no heart disease, no diabetes, no headaches. Nothing. We’ll be perfect. No birth deformities. No broken bones. No unusual genes causing unusual illnesses like down syndrome. No sickle cell anemia. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
How would we get married? Would we still court\/date? Would there be any such thing as kissing? Would oral sex exist? Fingering? Anal sex? Fetishes? If the sins of our first parents were non-existent, there will be no betrayal. No cheating. No hate. No insecurities. No infidelities. No barreness. No troubles. No enemies. No prejudice. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
No hurricanes. No fires. No air crashes. Would we even have air planes? No mudslides. No tsunamis. No hails. No erosions. No volcanos. No tornados. No mistakes. Will we have doctors? If we did, they would never, ever make mistakes. Everyone will be perfect. Everyone will be happy. Perfect. Happy. Perfect. Happy. Perfect. Happy and perfect. We’ll spend our days praising God. Singing of His goodness and awesomeness. Adoring Him. Magnifying Him. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ah, Adam and Eve, una fall my hand oooo! See the kin life I for dey live. I woulda been rolling deep, living the good life, life on the fast lane (with God, of course). Chei. Now, I’m stuck with tryna fight the damn devil everyday. Now I’m stuck with binding and casting, rejecting and refuting, praying and hoping, believing and trusting. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
God dey sha…..!!!<\/div>\n

Disclaimer:<\/b> Dear God, this is not an indication that I am craving Heaven right now – at least not the Heaven that is in Heaven. If there is a way for me to experience Heaven while still on earth, then please, Father, bring it on! Yes, yes, I will meet You some day, but not anytime soon. When I’m 114, I’ll come meet You. That’s what we agreed on, remember?<\/i><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
