Whenever we hear about Adam and Eve in church, it is usually discussed in one of two ways:
1) We're told about how bad we are and how badly we need to feel about how bad we are. We leave church wallowing in self-pity and feeling even more exhausted than we did on the way in for all of our sins, past, present, and future.
Or
2) We’re told all about how people outside the walls of the church are bad and how it is our job to go out there and fix them in all of their badness by bringing them in here so they too can start feeling bad about how bad they are.
But if that's all it is, then the Good News has become Bad News.
