In Christian art the square halo identified a living person presumed to be a saint. Square Halo Books' materials intend to encourage and equip the saints.
@HustleBitch_ Adam was told not to eat from the tree and clearly, for God to hold her accountable, Eve had to know not to eat it as well. If you want an explanation that is helpful, read The Beginning: A Second Look At The First Sin by A. D. Bauer published by Square Halo Books.

@drantbradley@RevRunD If I can add one more observation, if Adam thought eating the fruit would be good in any way, he was deceived. But I Tim. 2:13f says Adam was not deceived. That requires that Adam knew he would be harmed by eating the fruit…or he was deceived.
@drantbradley@RevRunD This is a “fallen “ view of the fall that makes Adam and the Woman like us. Attributing any sinful thought, attitude, or motivation to pre-fall humanity makes them fallen before they ate the fruit. They were made good and fell by disobeying the commandment not to eat the fruit.
@RevRunD@drantbradley We need to walk back any suggestion that evil in any form motivated Adam’s decision to eat the fruit. The first Adam was unfallen like the second Adam. Our book explains how that works. https://t.co/c3tVkqi7hF
@RevRunD@drantbradley That doesn’t really work either. Are we saying that a perfect man and woman made good by God and who walk with God find their perfect Father undeserving of trust? Per Scripture the woman was deceived and Adam was not. Doesn’t mistrust suggest Adam was deceived?
@Loyal2tGo17@theafrotect@drantbradley Actually there is no such thing as slicing the exact moment of the fall. Romans 5:14 is clear that Adam broke a command and Genesis is clear that THE command was not to eat the fruit. That action occurred in time and space. Before Adam ate he was innocent and after that fallen.
@Joao241098 @drantbradley We might have that motivation but only because we are sinful and have always been sinful. Adam (the first Adam vs the second Adam) must be innocent when he bites into the fruit or he does not fall by disobeying God’s commandment not to eat the fruit.
@drantbradley Everyone assumes that Adam sinned out of evil motivations and thoughts. However, that suggests a fallen (sinful) man ate the fruit. If so, he did not fall by eating the fruit. The correct solution is found in The Beginning, https://t.co/wclHGSqwUv
@drantbradley Sadly it’s not a different pastoral orientation. Distrust is just a different flavor of rebellion that comes from a sinful heart. Such a view denies that our first parents were without sin until they ate the fruit and requires that they did not fall by eating the fruit.
We want people to know about a book by an unknown author, that includes a workbook and helps you see how your self talk, based in past powerful experiences, ambushes soul satisfying conversations, making them soul crushing. https://t.co/KkgsiLV1YV
