Inconsistencies

[Teddyquam]

Nothing that another round of editing and proofreading cannot fix. Do not fear, the reviewers are here!

[Mary1214]

That's some good focus to detail, I think some more clarity and editing can prevent these kinds of inconsistencies

[Magnify3]

There are also quite a few compared to what it actually says in the Bible. I know they're only supposed to be based on biblical stories, but it just seems a bit odd to actually change details and not just fill in the gaps.

I agree with you. It does seem a bit odd to change details and not just fill in the gaps.

I noticed the inconsistencies in several instances also. It seems the author had a little difficulty with dialogue between the first people on Earth and picked words randomly to emphasize their newness in life. For instance, Eve knew what swimming meant because when Adam asked if she had tried swimming yet, she said, "No, I haven't. Not yet. You will have to teach me." There was no form of reference for the word swim, but she understood it. However, he picked payment as a word to show that they were learning new words and I guess forgot that she had already said the word as if she understood it.

Exactly. I registered these same observations. The inconsistencies made the story harder for me to believe sometimes.

Perhaps the author meant to say Eve was asking what their payment would be? Or she didn't fully understand the concept of payment or consequence. We are talking about the first humans ever here. In a world before trade. What is payment? Think of them as innocent children who didn't know right from wrong yet.

If Eve doesn't know what payment is, how come she uses that very same word and concept a few pages before her question?

The instances are about Adam paying for his rebellion and Adam paying for his debt. So very much the same concept.

This definitely felt like an inconsistency, but at the same time, it didn't really affect my understanding of the author's point. It felt like a bit of a slip-up. I really like the idea of thinking of them as "innocent children."

Trying to elicit many points, the author might have made some of those mistakes. But they do not take away the pleasure of reading

[aruntr2001]

I understand the author is good in his stories and vision towards the story but I can also sense a bit or less experience in creating thee strong characters and the story. Though there are many inconsistencies which could have been avoided through third eye review, I would still appreciate the work and efforts put towards this book.

[Priyanka2304]

I missed these inconsistencies completely. The reading was so smooth. Maybe the next round of editing can fix them.

[S Chifunda]

The case of Eve seeming not to have any clue on what payment meant, while she had used the word herself before makes her a fake character. The recurring instances of the inconsistencies in the time factor greatly undermine the feasibility of the story and more so its palatability.

[_priyamvada_]

yes, there is inconsistency but it is so minutely present that noticing is difficult. you have a great ability to spot such details. thank you for spreading the message

[Salma_asa]

Yeah! I noticed it too. Perhaps these are not much of a mistake and quite ignorable.

[TADSAILS]

I can’t believe that kind of error could be made by the author. Better job should be done in proofreading it. Nice observation.

[BookLoverMC]

There is going to be some inconsistencies, of course. The Bible is a very large book that is hard to get 100% studied correctly.

[mariya1214]

I think it was an editorial issue which could've been prevented if refined.

[rwalkup]

There were quite a few inconsistencies in the book as I do think that Adam and Eve shouldn't have necessarily known what payment was and that they spoke in a very modern manner.
