According to the Holy bible and starting with Genesis, Ch:3 Versus 1-12.
Gen.3, 1-12
Verse 1:
Now the serpent (evil man) was more crafty (clever) than any beast (human) of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, ';Indeed, has God said, ';You shall not eat (admire) from any tree (people/family) of the garden (earth)?
And the woman said to the serpent (evil man), ';From the fruit (wisdom) of the trees (people/families) of the garden (earth) we may eat (admire);
but from the fruit (wisdom) of the tree (people/family) which is in the middle (control seat) of the garden (earth), God has said, ';You shall not eat (admire) from it or touch (understand) it, lest you die (be away from God).';
And the Serpent (evil man) said to the woman, ';You surely shall not die! (be away from God). For God knows that in the day you eat (admire) from it your eyes (mind) will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.';
When the woman saw that the tree (people/families) was good for food (knowledge), and that it was delight to the eyes (mind), and that the tree (people/families) was desireable to make one wise, she took from it's fruit (wisdom) and ate (understood/believed); and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate (understood/believed).
Then the eyes (mind) of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked (away from God/dead); and they ';sewed fig leaves'; (blaming each other) together and made themselves ';loin coverings'; (made excuses).
And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden (earth) in the cool of the day (noon), and the man and his wife hid (ignored) themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the tree (people/family) of the garden (earth).
Then the Lord God called to the man and said to him, ';Where are you?'; And he said, '; I heard the sound of Thee in the garden (earth), and I was afraid because I was naked (spiritually dead/lost/disobeyed/sinned) so I hid (ignored) myself. (In subconscious Adam ignored himself from the calling of God).
And He said, ';Who told you that you were naked (away from Me(God)/spiritually dead)? Have you eaten (admired) from the tree (people) of whcih I commanded you not to eat (admire/understand).
And the man said, ';The woman whom Thou gavest to be with me, she gave me from the tree (people/family) and I ate (understood/believed).
The end.
So here you are ladies and gentlemen, my spiritual understanding of how it all started off wrong. Wisdom made us knowledgeable but put us away or numbed our senses to hear God. Or should I say spiritually dead.
Peace and Love, all comments are welcomed. What do yo think?Is this the Truth about the Fall of Man, interpreted?
I think that you are very good at adding to/interpreting into what you want to believe. If the trees represented people/families, then after they disobeyed God why did he not simply kill them on the spot and produce another Adam and eve from the families?
When we change the God of the Bible or the Bible to suit our own personal agenda/wants/desires/etc. we have created an idol for ourselves. Tis very dangerous ground.Is this the Truth about the Fall of Man, interpreted?
k. sounds like u may have american muslim influence in ur understanding. if so, look into a hebrew bible dictionary...since the old testament was written in hebrew. sometimes a tree is just a tree. the english language leaves much to be desired. being a former muslim myself trying to read the bible was rough. but once i got access to the resources i needed, it made sense...and now i believe, and it's the most precious reality in the universe. but don't boast in thinking that u got it figured out. the bible also says...'; if a man thinks that he is more than what he is, let him take heed...lest he fall.'; don't rejoice yet in your ';interpretation';. u are in error. peace and love...try ';vine's'; bible dictionary.
