The fall of mankind into sin began when the serpent questioned one of God's commands, namely not to eat of the [[tree of knowledge of good and evil]], and convinced [[Eve]] to eat the fruit, followed by [[Adam]].  The result of disobeying this command resulted in the driving away of Adam and Eve from the [[Garden of Eden|garden]] to live a life of subsistence farming, and eventually dying. Eve was additionally cursed with painful childbearing, and to be subservient to Adam. All of these curses were applied to Adam and Eve's decendents also. Genesis 3:15 is also cited as being the first reference to the coming [[Messiah]].

The creation of man was by a plural form of God, ''Elohim'' (Genesis 1:26: "And God said, Let '''us''' make man in '''our''' image, after '''our''' likeness"). Some Christians cite this and other plural references to God in the Old Testament as ancient proof in Hebrew of the existence of the [[Holy Trinity]].<ref>http://www.bible.ca/trinity/trinity-oneness-unity-plural-nouns-pronouns-verbs-adverbs.htm</ref>
