I was startled this morning when I read that Adam heard the Voice of the Lord walking in the garden in the cool of the day and hid himself. it appeard to me as if God 's voice began to walk and to make sound that was audible to the couple. what do you think?

Jim Cape's comment on 2014-08-09 03:37:13:

The "Voice " of God walking was God Himself that took upon a form such as that of Melchizedek. Until God used the womb of Mary to become flesh, He made himself known in various forms. But now, in Jesus Christ.

Truth's comment on 2014-06-30 23:04:40:

I believe the meaning walking is actually echo. As we all know voices travel and is known as an echo. I believe God spoke to Adam and Eve it traveled through the Garden as an "echo " they heard His voice and hid. As always He knew where they were and got close and personal with them. Just as He does with us. We realize we have sinned and try to cover it up. He speaks directly to us in His Spirit and we ask for forgiveness. But the greatest part of this verse is the "cool of the day ". The same day they sinned, God promised them a Savior for the sin debt. AMEN

Since we 're made in His image, and God WALKS, no wonder this is the Creator of the universe JESUS CHRIST.

So Good walks. He has a form and walking mechanism

RALPH M. WATERS's comment on 2010-12-30 09:32:19:

The sound of the LORD walking - The voice of the LORD walking - Angels are ministering spirits to GOD - I believe this was an angel materialized for Adam and Eve's benefit - Possibly "Gabriel"
