Right after Adam and Eve at the fruit, they realized they were naked and were ashamed. When they heard God's footsteps approaching they hid themselves because they were ashamed of their nakedness. And so God realized they ate the fruit.
Anyway, if God has footsteps he must have feet. I imagine He must look very human.
Your thoughts?

Ok, let say that ur right and God is very human!!!! But u’ll never ever be able to see Him and no one ever had and no one ever will ‘cause God is too perfect and we’re not. Also, it’s written in Bible somewhere that if u see Him, u will die (God forbid).
.... and I'm not a scary looking person. Anyway, I forgive u.

Adam and Eve didn't write their own story. Someone wrote it for them. In Aramaic. It has since been translated into Latin, Greek, German, English and comic book forms.) (Any every language you can imagine in modern times.)
Over thousands of years and countless retranslations and reinterpretations, its about certain that words and meanings have been altered or changed a least a little.
Isn't it also likely that their story is a parable or holy myth? I mean that not as an insult to the religious, but as a way of explaining the inconsistencies in the text.
Maybe they didn't literally "hear" God's footsteps. Maybe there was no word then to describe the way He made Himself known to them. If, instead, it is a myth, we don't need to wonder how an All-powerful and all-knowing God needs to "realize" that they had eaten the fruit.

The being evicted from the garden was not needed except for the reason of the tree of life. If they had been permitted to remain in the garden, Satan would assuredly have lead them to the tree of life. This would have granted them life while God's judgment was death. So that God's judgment could not be circumvented, they were evicted. Their sin was not simply eating a fruit. The problem was rebellion against established authority and rulership - namely, God's. This rebellion constituted the establishment of another rulership, that of man's and of Satan's - which we suffer with until today. It will be done away with very soon because it has been proved to be wanting.

Before God punished Adam and Eve for eating the forbidden fruit, they were in the garden of eden. Eden was heaven on earth, because it was the perfect place. They were still immortal, and could talk and walk with God. Thus, they could hear his footsteps because God had to show Himself in a form they could look at. God is so great, that you cannot look at His true form. (God knew they ate the fruit, that's why He came right on cue)

God made man in His likeness.
Jesus came to earth as a man.
Revelation 1:13-16
" And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
His head and His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow;
And His feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and His voice as the sound of many waters."
i think that when God wants to identify himself to man He appears in a human like form, (IE.. the being who wrestled with Jacob, the three beings who came to see Abraham, God in the garden, Jesus on earth).
if God showed Himself in His full glory, men would be blinded by His Holiness. so i don't really know exactly what to say because i have personally never seen Him, but some glorious day ill know!!

Here's one to think about:
Genesis 1:26 Then God said, "Let us make humans in our image, in our likeness. Let them rule the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the domestic animals all over the earth, and all the animals that crawl on the earth."
Genesis 1:27 So God created humans in his image. In the image of God he created them. He created them male and female.

People who think god is unimaginable are not about to take the Bible's word for it.
Also, many people believe in God, just not the Christian version.
Terrible logic, yours.
