God told us not to do something. And we did it. We sinned. This seperated us from God. We were then unable to be with God anymore. |

I really don't understand how eating a random apple deserves being thrown out of the garden of eden. Would you ever beat your children if they ate a apple when you told them not too. Also eve eating the apple first seems abit sexist and I read of passages saying woman are the cause of sin. Can someone explain how adam and eve deserved their punishment? |

Okay, how is truth sexist? And when your talking about evolution and Adam and Eve thats like adding a positive to a negative. To answer your question, God had given everything they needed to survive, and there was only one rule: Dont eat from the tree in the middle of the garden! Unfortunately that rule was broken. Sucks for us. |

Note that I don't believe in God or the story of Adam and Eve, but Eve eating the apple is not sexist. If the story is true, its because of Eve eating the apple that women were looked down upon. If its true, they writings are only recollections of the events that happened. If the story is true, its because of Eve eating the apple and damning the human race that women were looked down upon, because of what a woman did. If Eve had not of eaten the apple, then there would've been no reason for people to look down on women and thus no sexism. Woman being 'inferior' was because of the story of Adam and Eve, not the other way around. |

well i wouldn't call the story sexist, it's just an excuse for a persicussion of women in the past( and present). The punishment seems harsh but if we follow the old testement then God isn't exactly all loving anyway. Of course you could argue that God made us with temptation and so already knew we would fail his test. |

Perhaps the story is more symbolic than literal? I mean, the entire book is symbolically LOADED, and that's coming from a very strong believer of Christianity. |

I don't know exactly which part you're thinking of. But the Flood was the worst part probably. He killed all those people in the Flood because the world became so evil. People were killing, stealing, etc. So he regretted making us, and wiped all of us out except Noah. Then we were pretty good. Not perfect, but we still knew killing and stealing was wrong and cared about at least a few other people besides ourselves. |
|
The punishment that would of only work and why it was that punishment cause there was a tree of life in the garden that give humans everlasting life which God could not allowed to happen and why did he did not destroy the tree will i don't know for sure yet. |
|
He put an angel to guard the garden from anyone. I've always wondered if the angel is still there |

It is all about symbols, reflections. |

"We" sinned by eating the fruit in the Garden of Eden when a snake said to? What do you mean "we"? I know I didn't. Did you? Did any of your friends or relatives? Even maybe some guy you walked past on a sidewalk a long time ago? Anybody you have ever met? Any of the six billion people presently living? Anybody who has been alive on Earth in the past five thousand years? Why are you saying "We"? Two people did it, supposedly. It makes no sense to punish a person for what somebody else did. If I rob a bank, is it fair if you go to jail for it? Even more importantly, if I rob a bank, does it make sense to jail everybody in the world and every person ever born in the future for it? |

Actually no. Its scientifically proven that women are more guided by emotions, whereas men make their decisions based on logic. (and this time I'm being serious, unlike in the previous post.) |

'The Fall' is allegory written by men so likely to have some embedded sexism - (original sexism?) |

im sorry but men making decisions based on the THEIR logic does not make them smarter. see how stupid male logic is by thinking that? |
|
i beleve in god but not adam and eve the thing is that it is a duled down story it may not have happened like that for examples |
|
First of all, sorry for my wording... by saying smarter, I meant smarter in the logical and mathematical abilities, not in arts, sports, talking, or babbling. I know there is a huge array of different intelligences, and I'm by no means saying that men do better than women in all those intelligences; just the mathematical and logical skills in nature. Women on the other hand, are better in verbal and emotional intelligence... women can read body language much better than men can for example. Once again, this is just the average... just tendencies. |

Well what I said was the feminine symbolizes with the will (love), while the masculine symbolizes with intellect (knowledge). By this, I am not referring to particular people such as me or you, but to symbols for the principles of being. Each person has both principles within them, an Adam-Eve. Masculine and Feminine are reciprocals of each other, and depend on each other to exist (Dao : Yin-Yang). There is no importance placed on one or the other, they are equals - two mirrors of the same thing. |
