Adam, Eve And The Alleged Original Sin
Forbidden fruit …do you see what I see?
Today, in a separate post I wrote a humorous series of limericks that posed a few interesting and harmless questions.
I learned some cool stuff while compiling the poem, and it got my wheels turning more than usual.
While looking through ancient depictions of the story of Adam and Eve I noticed the apples looked like female parts while a snake is a common phallic shape. Look at the featured image above. Do you also notice the shapely fruits?
I think the story was told wrong in most interpretations. I think the whole thing is about mating, and about mankind using the gift of reasoning to do what they want. Freewill is the most cherished human privilege, even according to the Bible.
Freewill is a precious gift from God, for it lets us love him with our “whole heart” — because we want to. — Matthew 22:37.
Then in opposition to this idea, when someone questions the validity of the historical accuracy of the stories in the Bible, some leaders get very upset.
Anyone who uses their gift of reasoning will agree that whether the stories in the Bible are true or not the events described were hard to believe. If something is very believable, and easily explained using logic then it’s just ordinary information.
When things begin to get interesting is the point when common sense no longer explains the circumstance. Miracles are events that take place that seem to have defied logic and science. Miracles require faith in order to believe they exist.
If you don’t immediately believe the story of immaculate conception, that is understandable, because Miracles are outside of the norm. Spectacular events deserve more scrutiny- period.
