to test your self control, your faith, and your obedience

God invented metaphors.
by ScienceSwamy on November 22nd, 2009
Incidentally, if you read Genesis very carefully you'll see that;
1. God doesn't tell Eve not to eat the forbidden fruit, only Adam.
.
2. Eve doesn't tell Adam that the fruit that she is giving him is the forbidden fruit.
.
3. Eve isn't punished for eating the fruit but for being deceived by the serpent.
.
4. The serpent doesn't tell her to give any to Adam nor does he tell Adam to eat any.
.
5. Adam isn't punished for eating the fruit but for listening to / trusting Eve.
.
6. Most of what the serpent says to Eve is actually true.
.
7. Most of what God says to Adam is either false or is a deception.
.
8. Adam and Eve did not die upon the day that they ate of the fruit, like God said that they would, calling God’s bluff & proving Him a liar. They died because God kicked them out of the Garden, and he did this so that they would not be able to eat from the tree of life (Mean bastard!). If they had eaten from both trees, God says that they would indeed have become like him - which is actually what the serpent said in the first place.
What a conceited fraud!

I like to think of god as the thunder god who teaches Earth Realm warriors to protect us from the forces from the nether realm to give us a fighting chance against Shao Khan and his allies...What do you think of God?

Why do people believe that if God exists, then he has to be good instead of evil? Or why can't be be both? Or maybe Satan is the good one?

You're reading I wander why God placed the forbidden tree right in the middle of the Eden Garden if it was in fact forbidden?
