There would be no point in writing anything if the readers are simply going to take what they want from the passage, rather than what the writer intends. The alternative would make communication futile. A given document means what the author intended it to mean.

As such, it is crucial that we learn how to interpret properly so that we can determine the Author’s Intended Meaning (AIM) rather than forcing our own ideas into the text. We can have perfect confidence that God is capable of accurately relaying His Word to us in a way that we can understand. He routinely rebuked those who twisted the words of Scripture or misapplied them. This ideology flies in the face of Christ’s example. In other words, meaning is in the eye of the beholder, so you can decide truth for yourself. In this postmodern age, bizarre interpretations are accepted because people believe they have the right to decide for themselves what a passage means. The example above highlights the importance of being able to properly interpret the Bible. How does this line up with the Word of God, which states that God made Adam from the dust of the ground ( Genesis 2:7) and Eve from Adam’s rib ( Genesis 2:22)? Has the professor made a plausible interpretation of God’s Word? Is his interpretive work what Paul had in mind when he advised Timothy to be diligent in his efforts to accurately interpret the Word of Truth ( 2 Timothy 2:15)? At that point, they experienced “amnesia of their former animal life” so that they would no longer remember their animal past. So according to this professor, Adam and Eve were animals before God breathed the breath of life into them. Moreover, once God breathes the breath of life into them, we may assume that the first humans experienced an amnesia of their former animal life: Operating on a higher plane of consciousness once infused with the breath of life, they would transcend the lower plane of animal consciousness on which they had previously operated-though, after the Fall, they might be tempted to resort to that lower consciousness.
The pain would be real, but it would not be experienced as divine justice in response to willful rebellion. A popular seminary professor recently wrote the following about the creation of Adam and Eve: Any evils humans experience outside the Garden before God breathes into them the breath of life would be experienced as natural evils in the same way that other animals experience them.
