Zone1 Was Eve expelled from Eden, or did she leave with Adam?

[hobelim]

So are you saying now that they weren't actually eating flesh, and drinking blood? That it was an analogy, referring to the Law?

No, I said that "the flesh" of Jesus was a new metaphor for "teaching from God" that had been called from the beginning, bread, manna from heaven. This bread came down from heaven from God to Jesus and became his flesh, his teaching, given for the life of the world. Life being the promise of God to all those who fulfill the Laws easy to comply with demands.

And no. They weren't actually eating flesh and drinking blood you ghoul.

Strike 3. Game over.

Because the Garden of Eden was a perfect place. Free of sin because there was no knowledge of it. But beyond the knowledge of sin, eating from that tree caused a blood issue passed down through the generations. We know about sin to this day, and are tempted by it daily.

Eve was evicted. Adam had a choice. Continue to have dominion over the earth, or turn dominion over to Satan and follow your wife. So, he ate the fruit and followed his wife out the door. God put guards at the entrances to Eden to prevent Adam and Eve or their offspring from eating from the tree of life thus making sin eternal. And then God followed them out of Eden and continued to guide them.

Sin is a blood issue that affects us all. God sent His Son to offer us a blood transfusion. It is how we are cleansed by the blood of the Lamb of God.

I grew up with very devout parents and spent A LOT of my youth in Church and bible study. I have never heard of the "blood issue" aspect of eating from the Tree of Knowledge. The story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden continues to be quite bizarre to me. But thank you for offering your interpretation.

Jesus identified bread as a metaphor

HE DID? You mean He didn't make them eat flesh and drink blood? That you already knew that and just wanted to stir up discord by pretending Christ was giving them actual blood to drink?

Jesus said "unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood you can have no life in you." True? So then please tell me, what is the blood of Christ and how does a person drink it?

A person doesn't. They were drinking wine.
You are a fraud.

HE DID?

Yes. Jesus identified bread as a metaphor for teaching when he said, "Beware the leaven of the Pharisees." Then they discussed this among themselves and concluded, “It is because we did not bring any bread?" Jesus heard their murmuring and said, "How can you fail to see that I was not speaking about bread"..... Then the disciples UNDERSTOOD that Jesus was saying beware of the teaching of the pharisees not bakers bread.

Just go back to the drawing board. This is becoming pathetic.

hob, you are referring to Matthew 16 and an event that took place after Christ met with the Pharisees that has nothing to do with the last supper. ^ That is a lesson the disciples learned during that event. That lesson involved bread/no wine.

The bread that Christ was referring to at the dinner prior to Christ's arrest, was not referring to the Pharisees, teachers or teachings. The time for that had drawn to a close for Jesus. He was referring to His body. He said so. The wine was about the blood he was about to shed. It was imperative for the disciples to remember what Christ had to sacrifice to salvage us.
It's important that we remember...

were they a messiah, heavenly there would be no sacrifice simply a passing event their life would not have been in jeopardy as a mortal there can not be a corollary for all humanity with any particular death.

the crucifixion is not for the salvation of humanity rather the prelude for the repudiation of judaism as a religion of servitude jesus and most good people simply can not abide by.

Yet another biblical story I don't understand. Why would it be bad to eat from "The Tree Of Knowledge" and presumably know the difference between Good and Evil?

It's a creation myth told around tribal fires for over two thousand years before Moses wrote it down for posterity. It tells the tale of how mankind became "smart" over all other animals.
