explains why the apple was offered to eve . . .

Published Nov. 30, 2008

After reading DJ's blog this morning on persecution, I began surfing into atheism & it's persecution, the demographics of growing atheism in Europe, USGS river levels in North Carolina, WRAL's various weather reports, Youtube music as always in the background...

...and then I came across a piece of work that may explain which the Serpent offered the "fruit" (which we usually think of an an apple) to the gullible Eve, who then offered it to the equally guillible Adam. When questioned by God about the action, Adam blamed Eve with his now often quoted, "She made me do it" which has been used trillions of times since that Garden of Eden encounter.

But enough of theology.  With all this rain I would expect discourses on boats made of gopherwood and animals lined up in reproductive units (Not Adam and Steve, but Adam and Eve) yet again I digress.

In the course of my electronic ramblings I came across this little "So Happy Together" video which may bring a smile to your face as it did mine. I hope so anyways.

Donnie I for one am glad that you have faith. I would hate the thought that you would go out like that. ((((((hugs)))))

"...is man doomed to darkness, empty nothingness, nevermore?" If I thought that, I wouldn't hesitate to open my veins.

It's the age old story of love and glory,lies and deceit,knowledge and ignorance.Adam and Eve were eight day creations. After God had rested ,Genesis ch.2vs2.Then on the eight day God saw he had created no man to till the ground, Genesis ch.2 vs5.There were humans before Adam and Eve. Genesis ch.1 vs 27. The tree of good and evil, this was the serpent,that old dragon whom we know as Satin(the forbiden fruit).Satin seduced Eve ,begeting Cain.Eve seduced Adam begeting Abel.Brothers but with different fathers,thus the conflict where cain slew Abel.Genesis ch.6vs 4.The sons of God went in unto the daughters on men and had children by them.The story about the apple is just that, a fairy tale.

Any female reading the Genesis story should take immediate umbrage. :-) The patriarchal societies of the Old Testament were grossly unfair to the 'fair' sex weren't they?

Of course the apostle Paul (in his epistles) was no more generous regarding the roles of women. Women were plainly told to be obsequious and subservient to their husbands, obeying them in all matters as they would obey the lord. A very sweet deal...if you're a man, at least. ;-)

There will need to be a lot of healing from that tree when the time comes. There will be a lot of hurt from seeing loved ones who made the wrong choice.

New American Standard Bible (©1995)

in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

Rev. 22:2

Bye all!!! Off to the train show!!!

IMHO, "eating" of the symbolic "Tree of Knowledge" opened the door for humans to start thinking - and assuming they were right - in rational terms, which is faulty at best, if one looks at the bigger picture. As long as they were able - like other animals - to follow their instincts rather than needing to qualify and quantify everything, they were more open to guidance.

The tree of knowledge of good and evil gave Adam and Eve the mind of no longer being 'animals.' Eve was already said to be the "mother of all" before Cain and Abel were born, who were born after the fall. Adam and Eve represent generations of humans. The garden was man living in harmony with nature, another animal, even if the summit. The tree, the knowledge, is knowing of his mortality, of right and wrong, of judgment. My dog doesn't know he is going to die. I wonder about the tree of life, and does that represent our quest to find God again, find immortality in God. Or failed, is man doomed to darkness, empty nothingness, nevermore?

Reb, I wholeheartedly agree with you. Better still, children raised by BOth parents in a loving environment, which is not so common these days either.
