So are you saying it's Adam and Eve's fault?He did. It just isn't THIS one. This is a world OF natural disease and deformity. That is material nature.

Of course.Then I guess a lot of people must be willing and eager to murder, given have the chance or excuse.
I haven't heard that before. If you don't mind me asking, what is the basis for this belief?
I agree.A person can't be hypnotized to do something they don't want to do.
That they both ate the fruit, obviously.Indeed, you've got a single verse explicitly saying Eve ate of the fruit.
And every other verse mentioning Adam eating "of the tree."
What does the distinction indicate?
The flesh, teaching, the fruit of the tree is what is forbidden.God told them "the day you eat..."
So was the tree forbidden or the fruit?
I don't understand. Why is some freedom of choice an illusion?
I know what I believe. I don't know what you believe.Really? You did not know that?
That's what I have been told.You do know that Satan was originally an angel in Heaven himself too, and fell out of Grace by declaring himself independent of God right?
Those are the best kind of questions, right?You're asking some heavy questions
But I am.that you are not probably ready for.
Can you thumbnail it for me?Even if I were to refer you to the text where this is explained in detail, it would not do you much good because it comprises 18 volumes in hard-copy book for the full set costing hundreds of dollars. It is (mentally) a heavy lift, but if you really want to know, PM me, and I'll tell you where I think it is covered in one volume if memory still serves me that you can still buy used for about $20.00.
The flesh, teaching, the fruit of the tree is what is forbidden.
For instance Idolatry is a sin under penalty of death a curse. So it follows that in the very day someone like ding or Ace Nova set aside the command of God and ate the fruit of the forbidden tree, a despicable deceiver who told them if they got down on their knees to worship and eat a matzo they could commit idolatry and not die but will instead can sin with impunity and live forever (after they died) derp. they died and descended into hell, the netherworld, the realm of the dead, where they remain tormented day and night by reality which contradicts their vile beliefs day and night like a consuming fire that will never go out.
Moses killed an Egyptian, a righteous kill. The command is to not murder which is not about homicide as revealed by Jesus saying, Satan was a murderer from the beginning (of the fairy tale) even though he never committed homicide. What he did was beguile A&E into defying the command of God which caused their death, a curse, expulsion from a sane AWARE life.Thou shalt not kill is God's idea. Murder is yours...
Eve was beguiled, Adam was not. Adam ate from the tree. It's fruit would be the only edible part of a tree. When I eat a pear from a pear tree, I eat the fruit from the tree, not the tree.Indeed, you've got a single verse explicitly saying Eve ate of the fruit.
And every other verse mentioning Adam eating "of the tree."
What does the distinction indicate?
If you are saying some choices are an illusion but not all choices are an illusion, then why aren't all choices an illusion? I think a better way of describing our reality is that it is a temporary or alternate reality. It's not an illusion. But I fundamentally disagree with you. I believe everything is choice. We control our destiny. We control our fate.Again, everything here is an illusion.
A zoo animal isn't free period.A zoo animal is not free but may be given the illusion of freedom.
Fate and destiny do not negate free will. Free will determines fate and destiny.People are both free and not free. We have freedom of choice in some ways while still being subject to destiny and fate in others.
I'm not ridiculing you. I am trying to understand the basis for your beliefs. While simultaneously sharing mine. It's not a competition. You don't have to agree with me and I don't have to agree with you. That doesn't mean we can't share why we believe what we believe.You should probably just take my explanations at face value as the conclusions at the end of a long process, because the more I try to fill in the long process of getting there, the more it might confuse and just open to question farther, and of course, simply expose to the typical ridicule common to social media.
Again... I'm not trying to ridicule you. I'm trying to understand the basis for your beliefs.Besides, you are asking hard questions difficult to explain, and I'm not a library nor interested in endless discussion on the matter which will inevitably just result in yet more questions, ridicule and doubt, (not all necessarily by you) when the best way really to understand is by finding out on your own.
Sure, but the only way I will understand why you believe what you do is for you to tell me.There are many levels to knowledge and understanding, the best being through direct knowledge and experience.
Sure. I know my experiences but I don't know your experiences.Direct Experience is easy: that is simply those things which you have literally directly lived through so know from experience.
I understand that. That's how it works for me too but I can always explain the why because what comes to me makes sense.Direct Knowledge is much harder: It involves knowledge gleaned directly through one's intuition (spiritual heart) coming from the Divine that is not gotten from temporal knowledge but gained through one's own intuitive channels, usually gleaned through spiritual purification and enlightenment. Yeah, that's right--- if one's mind and heart are pure enough, knowledge just kind of "comes" to you, sort of like God just talking to you on some sort of cosmic communication channel.
I'm only asking questions aimed at understanding why you believe what you do.Now you are dragging me into areas bound to open up 10,000 questions, and if not that, then 5,000 doubts, insults and ridicule, so, I'll leave the matter to your own investigation, because I'm sure next, someone is bound to retort that I'm just full of it, and I'm not really interested in arguing with idiots.
The whole idolatry thing was because they were polytheists to begin with. You are tilting at windmills.The flesh, teaching, the fruit of the tree is what is forbidden.
For instance Idolatry is a sin under penalty of death a curse. So it follows that in the very day someone like ding or Ace Nova set aside the command of God and ate the fruit of the forbidden tree, a despicable deceiver who told them if they got down on their knees to worship and eat a matzo they could commit idolatry and not die but will instead can sin with impunity and live forever (after they died) derp. So they died and descended into hell, the netherworld, the realm of the dead, where they remain tormented day and night by reality which contradicts their vile beliefs day and night like a consuming fire that will never go out.
You can never know that.I know what I believe. I don't know what you believe.
Not even sure what that means, ding. If you are willing to spend $20, and read through a big, hardback book full of some really heavy stuff, I believe I know one volume that touches upon the subject you ask of, among many other things.Can you thumbnail it for me?
it is the first commandment. To not worship anything made by human hands, under penalty of the death, a curse. Its what you do in church, always dying, never finding peace in death.The whole idolatry thing was because they were polytheists to begin with. You are tilting at windmills.
Eve was beguiled, Adam was not. Adam ate from the tree. It would be the only edible part of a tree. When I eat a pear from a pear tree, I eat the fruit from the tree, not the tree.
God found both Adam and Eve in the same condition because they did the same thing. They ate the fruit.
Eve was tempted. Adam was not. He ate freely...
That's why I asked.You can never know that.
Nice chatting with you.Not even sure what that means, ding. If you are willing to spend $20, and read through a big, hardback book full of some really heavy stuff, I believe I know one volume that touches upon the subject you ask of, among many other things.
Yeah, there are on line sources, and I've looked at them, but they all suck. Skimming through a website is not at all the same as paging through a book you hold in your hand.
If you're really interested, PM me and I'll link you to where you can buy the book I believe covers the question you asked.
Obviously the fruit. Unless you're a big fan of eating wood and leaves....?And if so, was the fruit forbidden or the tree?
Because they were polytheists and had a hard time letting go of their old ways. Try googling it.it is the first commandment.
Look at you spewing your hatred for Christianity. You literally cannot help yourself.To not worship anything made by human hands, under penalty of the death, a curse, which is what you do, always dying, never finding peace in death.
If you don't believe me open your ears next time you go to mass and hear the priest say that he will take this bread, MADE BY HUMAN HANDS, and it will become for "us" the body of Christ, a lie that desecrates the Actual Body of Christ, teaching, words from God that became his flesh.
Thats why you are oblivious to the fact that your sin is as obvious as a white boulder in the middle of a plowed field. You died and descended into hell, Gehenna, many decades ago.
