Today we look at the immediate results of partaking of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil.
It is feasible that the fruit contained a substance that would bring about a physical change that would alter the bodies of Adam and Eve, resulting in aging and eventual death, but the act of disobedience or defiance would have a more immediate effect.
Whereas the couple had, up till now, been innocent they now experienced new feelings and emotions.
Some of these we are told about.
Whereas before partaking of the fruit they had felt no shame about being naked, now they felt vulnerable and the need to cover up.
Their response was to sew together fig leaves to make aprons.
Then, when they heard the Lord was coming they attempted to hide themselves from his presence. When Adam was questioned as to why he had done this, he mentioned that he was afraid, because he was naked.
Obviously his feeble attempts at covering up, not only his nakedness, but also his willful disobedience, had been woefully insufficient.
It was a whole new world for Adam and his wife.
By starting to experience the opposite poles of emotion they were able to comprehend more fully.
What had, up till now, been a homogeneous paradisaical existence of neutrality, now began to condense into polar opposites.
Being able to experience both they were consequently beginning to understand and comprehend that some feeling, states and emotions were more desirable than others. They were beginning to develop a knowledge of good and evil by their own experience. Not unlike our own turbulent experiences as we exit the paradise of childhood and enter adolescence.
Adam was beginning to learn about cause and effect, that present actions have future consequences. The future would be affected by actions made in the now. No matter how unpleasant that future might have been to contemplate.
He and his wife were taught the consequences of their choices and from here on Adam refers to his wife as EVE as he contemplates that she will now be the mother of all living.
The interview is ended with a very small but intriguing aside.
Adam and Eve are not left to their nakedness, shame and fear, that the fig leaves were unable to cover.
GEN 3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
They were only considered and felt adequately clothed once a coat of skin had been provided.
This begs the question: What was the difference between a coat of skins and a fig apron?
In order to produce a coat of skin the animal would need to be killed and the leather cured. Hinting at a slightly longer process that just one simple interview. Also this hints at the shedding of blood or sacrifice and that the results of disobedience and transgression cannot fully be resolved through our own feeble efforts.
It was only the sacrifice and shedding of blood that would sufficiently cover the consequences of Adam's willful act of defiance.
This act of clothing Adam and Eve in coats of skin, that had been produced at the cost of the life of an animal, would also hint at the blood and sacrifice that would be required to overcome all of the results of the fall.

The evolution of Adam - a conundrum
i'm not gonna lie. this is so...something like an eye opener as i can see... but it just my insight 😊 all in all i love this article 😊
"Cynics do not contribute, skeptics do not create, doubters do not achieve." I agree that the cynics do not contribute and the the skeptics do not create...but doubters are my favorite kind of people. Inquisitive by nature, they find it difficult -if not impossible, to doubt any story not based on fact.
I can't wait to go down your list for more thought-provoking articles. Thanks!
That kind of doubter transforms into a seeker and does not remain a doubter.
Hmmm. That rings true to my ears. Hurray for doubters and seekers!
You mean hooray for cynics? Hooray for Socrates? Hooray for....... actually I feel just talking to you is a waste of my time.
Freedom of though, freedom of expression...look it up.
Sounds like a liberal thing :)
I tried to provoke your thoughts but seems it is a one sided thing.... which is why i said pre-hand "waste of my time"....
Besides freedom of thought(fix your english please!)
and Freedom of expression
You have the freedom of selective hearing; you choose to have an incomplete picture and portray it as an complete image.... you are still a searcher.
Thus you are a searcher who pretends to be more (who sells products of steemit).
I'll end it with saying I belong in a different world; a more ancient one.... but enjoy your life! No wonder people of other planets have shown no interest for us; only a war-conquering race would want to come here..... I wonder if there are good creatures willing to go so far as to prevent them from making a strong hold here......... blog away blogstar!
Wow, your grammar and language skills are really good. Forgive my spelling. Out of the three languages I speak, English is the one I find more difficult not only to write but to pronounce. Thank you for taking the time to mention my horrible typo and write such nice comments. So kind of you. ;-)
When you say "cynics do not contribute" then I disagree... but funny enough you later mention doubters as being your favorite kind of people.... CYNICS is derived from cynical "believing that people are motivated purely by self-interest; distrustful of human sincerity or integrity".
Distrust = Doubt
IF the Cynic can proof that someone is acting purely on self-interest then he does achieve something BUT it is up-to the people to listen to him (if this does not happen, if the person who acts on self-interest tries to make fun of the cynic and all the idiots laugh along.... who is not achieving? Is it the cynic or is it the people who gather around the person whom behaves only for his self-interest that achieve nothing?
Believing that people are motivated purely by self-interest; distrustful of human sincerity or integrity.
https://www.gearbubble.com/gbstore/biznznet this is your webshop..... you made it why? to make money? because it benefits you (self-interest).
The best way to fix your quote is that the cynic is most likely to become the martyr (and why does someone become a martyr; because the people around him DO NOTHING).
(don't think this world is without a new Diogenes...)
Just FYI.... Before I follow someone, I check out their "about" lines. They SAYS A LOT about a person. The quote which evidently upset you, was not originally mine. It was @gavvet's (the author of this post). I got it from HIS "About" line. I found it interesting and worth commenting on.
I noticed that your "about" line is empty and that your profile picture is that of a scarred little boy picking his nose... I'm not your enemy Aurelius. I'm sorry that, for whatever reason, my comments upset you. Peace out.
I hate the quote... Barack Obama used it as well... I have a philosopher that I like; Diogenes of Sinope - he is a cynic; if you say that cynics achieve nothing then you might as well say that "no one achieves anything"; what do we achieve in life?
There is a disease mentioned after him.... insults about cynics are about bad cynics (whom I personally would not call cynics; when you use it the way the quote is aimed you better aim at the MASTER cynic and then the quote becomes unusable ); people who do not believe in the good of others nor of their selves and thus doomed to never believe in the good of others.
I believe you are good. I do. And Obama is a douche.
Very well explained! It is fascinating how the whole Bible comes together as a whole even just reading Genesis.
love this. very easy to read and fabulous insight.
remarkable!..this can also be seen in scripture regards pass over...where they put the lambs' blood on their doors and the sickness passed over the houses with blood.- it being God's will. Even when we assume 'choice', that temptation is just another means of our judgement.
Signs and types everywhere.
I agree. & believe in the idea of our world, life , existence - all pre written, no escape as such :]
I must say your article gave a lot food for thought.
Nice article. I would add that it's important to look at Adam's response to God's obviously rhetorical questions. When asked if he had done what he wasn't supposed to do, he laid out our basic fallen nature in one sentence. He said to God "this woman that you gave me..." God desired confession, yet Adam blamed his wife, and ultimately God for his own freewill choice. We see the same pattern to this day all around us. Sometimes, even in the mirror.
or he just plainly stated the sequence of events in simple terms...
Do you really believe that, or just trollin'? Because I have many children, and whenever they get busted, they do the exact same thing as Adam with the intention of passing the buck! What you've said doesn't make any sense in the context of the the Bible as a whole. Confession is met with mercy 100% of the time. If Adam had confessed instead of placing the blame elsewhere, they wouldn't have been expelled from the garden (Hosea 6:6 "...I desire mercy not sacrifice.").
Likewise, if Judas had confessed, he would have been right there with the other apostles, and his sermons would have most likely dealt heavily with the subjects of conversion and mercy. Had events played out this way, it may very well have been Judas Iscariot who would write the epistle explaining how we will be transformed in the twinkling of an eye.
edit: it just occured to me that the answer is much simpler. We can know this wasn't an innocent explaination in plain terms for one reason. You see, God didn't ask Adam "what happened?" God asked Adam explicitly "Have YOU eaten of the fruit that of which I told YOU not to eat?" The plain and simple contrite answer to this question would have been "yes father." This would have opened up the door to penence and reconciliation. The actual answer he gave was a convoluted attempt to shift the blame away from himself. This is why they were punished so harshly.
And let's not forget that Eve then, did the same thing and blamed it on the serpent!
Fascinating. Personally, I think the bucolic state of pleasurable neutrality was just fine. One wonders why their creator felt the need to mess with it.
And if it is indeed a parable of imperfect humans and not a deity too proud to admit error, then perhaps the story would look much the same and make more sense without the latter.
Variety is the spice of life, the same thing every day gets pretty boring.
It is only in experiencing opposites that we get to figure out what we like and what we don't like and hence are able to discern what is good and what is evil. There was no error on the part of deity, this new adult and accountable state was the desired state and the innocence of childhood does not accomplish much in the way of real growth.
The exercise of free will is more desirable than a robotic puppet. The fall introduced free will to its fullest extent and hence responsibility and accountability with it.
Ahhhh but why does the creator require their growth at all? Why not simply make them as desired from the start? Why make them innocent, create the circumstances for that innocence to be lost and then spend the rest of human history punishing the entire species for what was ultimately and entirely said Creator's idea?
If free will itself is the highest possible good (which is the only conclusion I can see that follows from the story as presented), then the only sin is to not act in accordance with one's free will.
Perhaps its not the Creator that requires their growth but the created that needs to experience the growth for themselves.
Experience is only gained by (dare I say it) experience.
One must taste the bitter to fully comprehend the sweet.
True Justice requires free will and accountability for actions, but with accountability come consequences, good or bad for the exercise of that free will.
We operate in an environment surrounded by laws and consequences.
It is in figuring out the nuances, that we are able to fly, yet without breaking the law of gravity.
Holy Sh%t! What an intelligent conversation I stumbled across. I bet you can feel my IQ several dozen points below the two of your's already. But I felt compelled to comment as I've been living out of a backpack for the past 10 years, continuously "budget" traveling around the world. One thing for sure is that you should "dare to say it" Experience is only gained by experience.
That is what has been keeping the fire lit within myself. I love love love to travel! That's all I know. It's given me perspectives on the world that I would never have had. Before I left the US, I was just another ignorant American, now I see how all over the world people are trapped in belief systems that often keep them complacent as well as a host of other negative attributes.
It's interesting being new on here. Steemit has been a real trip of an experience in itself. I find myself being quite useful to the community and I've already done quite a bit of travel consultation so far. It makes me happy to help others. Keep up the good work!
-Dan "World Travel Pro!"
And that is the purpose of experience... Perspective and depth of character.
Character can only be developed by testing said character.
That is why I love to travel. Get out of my comfort zone, challenge myself, and learn from other people and cultures. I'll be doing a month in Laos in a few weeks. Now I'm hanging in Koh Phe Ngan Thailand.
What about you? How did you get to be so wise, captain gavvet?
I love this. I never got the revelation of the bloodshed before their clothing before now. God bless you for bringing the understanding. Indeed, everything about the scripture is highly significant.
I also punches a few holes in the no death before Adam line of thinking.
wow what an interesting article, really makes you think, i'm definitely going to check out more of your blogs and u just got a upvote ;)
I hope you enjoy the others in this series.
Their sense of shame was the immediate response of a guilty conscience. Now, however, Adam and Eve both realized that they had done wrong, and so they contrived to cover themselves by sewing fig leaves together
It's almost a Rod Serling type twist how the tree of the knowledge of good and evil turned out to not be some supernatural entity that would elevate mankind to the level of his creator. No, it was just a beautiful tree with some tasty fruit like all the rest. The knowledge of good and evil came about in a purely natural way. They had to experience and partake in evil in order to have any knowledge of it. And, unfortunately, this knowledge had the absolute opposite effect than what they were lead to believe! Que Twilight Zone music.
Wow! Adam freely took upon sin for the love for his wife. As Jesus did for us on the cross.
No he didn't! He totally tried to pin it on her while blaming God for giving her to him in the first place! "This woman whom YOU gave me..." made me do it! I said this on another reply. Anyone who has kids (plural) knows this scenario all to well. Also, notice how Adam not once takes any responsibility. He never confesses his sin. He doesn't even try to offer a half-assed appology! If he had cofessed when God asked what he had done rather than pointing the finger elsewhere, They wouldn't have been expelled from the garden. God's mercy is infinite and given freely 100% of the time to those with a contrite heart.
So well laid out and thought provoking! Thank You.
Con todo el respeto que me merecen, los leo y sigo sin entender. La biblia me dejó con muchas dudas durante toda la vida y una de ellas fue ¿Por qué cubrirse? ¿Qué problema podía existir con sus cuerpos, contradictoriamente perfectos producto de una mano creadora? ¿Por qué los dioses han mantenido su tiranía sobre las mentes de los humanos? ¿Es que acaso necesitamos mirarnos desde la altura de los dioses para entendernos?. Nuestros cuerpos son las plataformas sobre las que navegan nuestras emociones, nuestros sueños y nuestros pesares… también. La vergüenza es un sentimiento muy revolucionario que bien nos puede servir como brújula moral. y ética que sirva de referencia para direccionar nuestros movimientos por la vida que, por cierto, solo llega a lo sumo a noventa (90) vueltas alrededor del sol, apenas entre 80 y 90 vuelticas, con suerte. ¿Por que somos fruto del pecado? ¿Por qué entre el amor y el pecado casi no hay fronteras? En una oportunidad oí a un conferencista manifestar de que el ser humano está bombardeado con “malas noticias” todo el tiempo, eso me impresionó y me hizo reflexionar mucho. Aunque el tema tratado en esa conferencia, no era el que nos ocupa, escribiendo esto se me viene a la memoria que todo el discurso alrededor de este post me lleva a pensar que somos producto, en tanto que especie, del PECADO, peor “noticia” no puede haber. Una de las cosas mas enigmáticas, para mi, de la Biblia, es que todo su edificio conceptual esta basado en el pecado, en el poder del mal, Abrahan para ganarse la confianza de Dios tuvo que demostrar su capacidad de sacrificar a su hijo, casi asesinar a su hijo, Cain asesino a su Hermano Abel, a Job se lo jugaron a los dados Dios y Lucifer, Jesús fue sacrificado, traicionado y sobre su CUERPO se hicieron las vejaciones mas horribles que pueda recibir un ser humano, a Pedro lo crucificaron de cabeza… Todos antivalores. ¿Cómo podemos sobrevivir en nuestra fragilidad humana a la dictadura de los dioses? Ese cuerpo de “seres excepcionales” a los que les hemos entregado el cetro de nuestro edificio ético y moral. Pido disculpas por la vehemencia de mis palabras, incluso por permitirme en este escenario manifestar las dudas que siempre me han acompañado, naci en un hogar religioso profundamente Cristiano, lo cual me empujo a tener que tomar una posición ante ese cuerpo conceptual desde donde se me juzgaba y se me etiquetaba; pero, a su vez doy las gracias por permitir que mi mente volara en busca de mis propias contradicciones. No voy a votar porque esto que he escrito no se trata de dinero, se trata de una reflexión honesta sobre un punto que hacia tiempo no se removía dentro de mi. Muchas gracias a todos.
Usted trae muy buenos puntos, voy a discutir el propósito de la caída en la próxima semana o dos. Creo que usted puede encontrar algunas respuestas a las grandes preguntas que acaba de plantear en esos puestos.
You bring up very good points, I will be discussing the purpose of the fall in the next week or two. I think you may find some answers to the great questions you just raised in those posts.
Gracias por su invitación, me alegra conseguir en steemit escenarios posibles de reflexión. Quizás no coincidamos en todo, pero creo que se trata de conseguir los vasos comunicantes que nos permita armonizar nuestras diferencias en función de construir caminos de convivencia entre los seres humanos a fin de acabar con tanto "derramamiento de sangre" que existe en la humanidad. Muchas gracias y espero nos encontremos frecuentemente por "estas calles". Un gusto conocerlo, mi nombre es German Gonzalez y soy de Venezuela.
Thanks for your invitation, I am happy to get possible scenarios of reflection in steemit. We may not agree at all, but I believe that it is a matter of getting the communicating vessels that allow us to harmonize our differences in order to build paths of coexistence among human beings in order to end so much "bloodshed" that exists in humanity. Thank you very much and I hope we will meet frequently for "these streets". A pleasure to meet you, my name is German Gonzalez and I am from Venezuela.
Eve was not taken out of Adam's head to top him, neither out of his feet to be trampled on by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected by him, and near his heart to be loved by him.
Yup, those are definitely some of the aspects hinted at buy the symbolism there.
Also the rib cage protects the man's vital organs and heart hinting at Eve's symbolic role.
Just one of many examples of Jesus sacrifice forseen in the Old Testament. Thank you for your subject matter - praying there will be many people who are not familiar with where this thing called 'sin' came from who will be eager to learn more about our wonderful God. I'm fairly new to Steemit and am taking the opportunity to focus my posts on 'urgency of the times'. Hope you will check it out. I am now a follower. Blessings
This is strange to me, you somehow make religion interesring, very very good work. Now following.
thanks
If this is the first religious article you find interesting, you have been digging in the wrong corners, my friend! I can point to to some amazing books and other reads that theologians have been pondering for centuries. Say the word if you would like some links.
Como usted dice: "Es factible que la fruta tuviese una sustancia produjera en los cuerpos de Adan y Eve, envejecimiento y eventualmente la muerte" No obstante, para no morir fisicamente, también era necesario "comer de todo árbol del huerto" ya que como bien sabemos, si dejamos de comer, en pocos días moriríamos, e imagino que lo mismo les sucedería a esta primera pareja. También podemos apreciar en la Biblia un lugar que generalmente se aplica a Satanás. Pero... ¿Y si lo aplicamos al Adán? ¿Será que cambiará lo que por años se ha creído? Éste se se encuentra en Ezequiel 28, y aunque fue una profecía escrita contra el Príncipe de Tiro, podemos ver lo que ha existido en el corazón del hombre cuando se les otorga un gran poder, y en este caso, el corazón de Adán:
28:1. Vino a mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo: 2. Hijo de hombre, di al príncipe de Tiro: Así ha dicho Jehová el Señor: Por cuanto se enalteció tu corazón, y dijiste: Yo soy un dios, en el trono de Dios estoy sentado en medio de los mares (siendo tú hombre y no Dios), y has puesto tu corazón como corazón de Dios; Es probable que Adán no había tenido oportunidad de pensar en sí mismo y en sus deseos más escondidos y estando con Eve, su mujer, vieron algo que les animó a violar el decreto divino, porque podemos leer que el "que el árbol era bueno para comer, y que era agradable a los ojos, y árbol codiciable para alcanzar la sabiduría; y tomó de su fruto, y comió; y dio también a su marido, el cual comió así como ella" No se le veía nada malo al árbol. Ahora, cuando leo acerca de ésto me pregunto a mí mismo: ¿Es posible plantar dos árboles diferentes en un mismo lugar? Porque la Biblia dice que Génesis 2:9 Y Jehová Dios hizo nacer de la tierra todo árbol delicioso a la vista, y bueno para comer; también el árbol de vida EN MEDIO DEL HUERTO, y el árbol de la ciencia del bien y del mal. Y en Eve nos afirma lo siguiente en Génesis 3:2 Y la mujer respondió a la serpiente: Del fruto de los árboles del huerto podemos comer; 3 pero del fruto del árbol que está EN MEDIO DEL HUERTO dijo Dios: No comeréis de él, ni le tocaréis, para que no muráis ¿Entonces que fue lo que hicieron para pecar y recibir la consecuencia de sus actos? ¿Comer del fruto de un árbol plantado en medio del huerto o la intención que tenían en su corazón para comerlo? No obstante, debemos recordar lo dicho por Pablo en su carta a los Romanos 7:8 Mas el pecado, tomando ocasión por el mandamiento, produjo en mí toda codicia; porque sin la ley el pecado está muerto. ¿Será que Dios a propósito puso el mandamiento para producir en Adan y Eve la suficiente codicia como para no importarles el resultado de violar el mandato divino? Y Pablo siguió diciendo: 10 Y hallé que el mismo mandamiento que era para vida, a mí me resultó para muerte; ¿El mismo árbol que era para vida, a ellos les resultó para muerte? Si es así, ya estaba creada la solución, puesto que a Dios nada lo toma por sorpresa y les enseñó que la única forma de cubrir el pecado era con derramamiento de sangre, como lo dijo el escritor a los Hebreos en el capítulo 9:22 Y casi todo es purificado, según la ley, con sangre; y sin derramamiento de sangre no se hace remisión. Y en vista de este primer sacrificio, (ejemplo de cómo debían realizarse) les enseñó a curtir las pieles para poder vestir a las generaciones siguientes. Ésto nos enseña claramente, que el problema espiritual, sólo puede ser resuelto por el Creador, y que por más esfuerzo que el hombre haga para tapar su culpa (hojas de higuera) con el tiempo quedará al descubierto sus verdaderas intenciones; esas que se encuentran en el corazón y parece que nos dejaran ver, que después de todo, ellos no eran tan inocentes.
Gracias por compartir, @gavvet y mi upvote para este post.
Lo veo de esta manera, hasta que todo lo que habían conocido era obediencia.
Al participar deliberadamente del fruto prohibido experimentaron desobediencia por primera vez y la culpa y otras emociones que son consecuencia de eso.
Sus ojos se abrieron para ahora el podría entender y compren pues su experince era no más unidimensional pero multidimensional.
La próxima semana miraré los cuerpos de carne y hueso frente a cuerpos de flesha y sangre y el significado de la sangre.
I often wonder If the 'snake' is a positive entity who came to free the minds of souls trapped in biologically manipulated vessels unable to connect to the true creator.
Polarity is a catalyst for growth. You know what you want by knowing what you don't want.
Lucifer symbolized by the serpent sought to thwart the plan of God, just as he did in inspiring wicked men to crucify the Saviour. In all these and other actions, his meddling is foreknown, catered for in the plan and ultimately turned to enable the requisite purpose.
Choice is only possible when you have multiple diverse options.
What if, the story of creation was tinted to portray a 'creator/God' who manipulated the first humans & their environment so that they did not have innate access to the true creator/God. And this work was mixed into the true creator's story, with the 'false creator/God' being written of as the True creator and instructing them not to 'eat the fruit of knowledge' as this would trigger a re-connection to the true God. And the serpent was actually something entirely different who came to set their minds free and open them back up to the polarity's that shapes the path back to the true creator.
This idea was first presented by the gnostics who were one of (if not the very first) Christian heresies to be condemed by the Church. So I wouldn't dedicate too much thought power to that one. You can read all about it with a quick Google search.
Also, if you read between the lines, the entire Genesis account of the first humans' relation to God and their environment portrays a father bringing up his beloved children. Adam recieved everything from his Father including his perfect companion. God can do all things, yet he always had Adam present to cooperate in the work he was doing; just like any good father would suffer through his child's first attempts to use tools or cook a meal, drive a car, etc.
So what I've never understood is this:
The bible says fathers won't pay for the sins of the sons and vice versa... So why are "we" paying for Adam and Eve's sin?
Not being an asshole, just one of those things that can come off, contradictory! @trendhobo
Inheritance works on all levels, we inherit human nature a mortality from them, not really a punishment in my estimation but necessary for our eternal progress and development
You use the word "pay" in your question. I don't know if there is a bible that uses this word for what you're asking or not. I'm too lazy to look it up now, but I've always understood this as God will not punish future generations for the sins of their fathers. This is very true as far as judgement goes. This does not mean that future generations will be immune to the evil actions of previous ones.
Example: If a man commits a serious enough crime, he will be punished with prison time or even execution if the crime is murder. He alone is being punished, yet his family and others in his life also suffer along with him. His absence means fewer resources and experiences for his children to pass down to their children which will contribute to the hardships of the next generation. This can have a ripple effect where the following generations, as a result of this crime commited by their great great great grandfather, will have had fewer resources and stories passed down. They will experience an increase in hardship developing relationships as abuse would likely follow the anger of one's father getting himself thrown in prison... I'm rambling now :D. Did this help?
Great posting
i like your profile..
so following you :)
thanksssssssss... :)
Woooow...cool.
Very amazing. I like you.
A very good religious story and lots of benefits. I am very interested to read the history of Adam. And I think there are many lessons we can take from the story. You are a great steemian. I am proud to always follow your post. And I also want to learn a lot from you. Your posts are great. I love @gavvet. I like your post.
I agree with you @ nonasweety. This is a very miserable story and also teaches us about the values of life. Much of the science we can take from the story. This post is very great and meaningful.
Adam's story tells us and symbolizes the humanity. We have freewill and we should not do the things that God doesn't want even we have free will. Because it always has consequences. Eve is always the pushing force or temptations as well here. So we should always have faith in our God @gavvet.
Excelente post, me parece hasta muy profundo para mi poco entender sobre la intencionalidad del mensaje y del mensajero, pero lo que si me gustaría compartir mi perspectiva sobre el por que Dios les elabora trajes a partir de pieles de animales y no los deja con la improvisación de la higuera. pienso que el creador en su infinito amor a lo mas preciado de su creación (Adán y Eva) extendió su gracia para proveerles una mayor y mejor protección de su desnudes y de su vergüenza, y una vez así, caídos y distantes de la presencia de su creador mas no de su cobertura, el hombre podía hacer frente con mayor seguridad al arduo futuro por venir fuera del paraíso. la higuera por su parte no le aportaba la cobertura y seguridad necesaria en ese mundo incierto y totalmente desconocido para los dos condenados al destierro, entonces en ese sentido, Dios mostrando su misericordia les provee de una cobertura mas apropiada. gracias @gavvet por compartir y permitir crear un punto de disertación y opiniones diversas de un tema tan álgido como es el de la creación y todo lo que esto envuelve. Voy a leer las publicaciones anteriores con el fin de agarrar tus ponencia desde el principio.
Esto es probablemente relevante también, pero me gusta el simbolismo más profundo señalando el sacrificio o Cristo
Claro entiendo, es mucho mas profundo y con un mayor peso y relevancia al vincularlo con el sacrificio de Jesús
thx for this post again..
I love to read your posts. When I read a post, I read it with attention but when I read yours, I double the amount. Very interesting again. Thank you.
This is excellent! There are tons of little things in the bible that need further investigation and thought. Most times, we just take every store at face value and as either wholly literal or wholly metaphorical. In a story, the literal events sometimes have figurative meaning :)
Keep investigating; I'm going to be more dedicatedly pitching in my thought engine in this regard too.
Perhaps the difference is that the fig leaf is just a disguise, and the skin is a symbol of the ability to cover up fully the intentions.
Intriguing perspective... they may represent many things.
The question I always make myself: is being obedient the same as being moral? Is being disobedient the same as being immoral? Is obedience and morality synonyms?
Is something good because God commands, or does God command it because it is good?
Good post.. love too see more of the series. Did you check my blog of today of the flying dutch festival in Eindhoven noord Brabant. Most Famous dj s of the world were there in 1 day. All flying in with helicopters. But i dont know if you like this music😉
Great read...Keep these studies coming.
Eve was deceived by a snake in eating the fruit then she also offered it to Adam, now we have Bitcoin and Steemit :)
great as always
keep it on
I enjoy your posts
UV
I commented on a previous post of the series as well - we can start a very interesting dialogue! So, now I am done with my thesis on Lilith - the first wife of Adam - but I love reading about Adam (usually the focus is on the women, Eve, Lilith...) I need to catch up with the rest of the articles soon so thank you for putting the links there :D And oh nakedness... the start of all morality... ;)
I read that Adam and Eve had no belly button which makes sense to me because they where created by god and did not got born like we.
If I think. Because the offspring have then he also has a navel but not born but in create. If they do not have, their offspring do not have it. Heredity always follows like her parents. An example of a goat having no umbilical cord? Please check the goat. I thought I saw a goat skin that made the drum do not look navel. Where the navel, when it is conceived and born, the goat does not spawn. Then the god is great and great from everything.
Very Nice !!
I've been told it was connected directly to the sky.
When adam and Eve eat the fruit and that's where the beginning of change, and when not using fig leaves as the cover of the genitals and that is where the beginning of the human taught sometimes something must be sacrificed for a human need even though sometimes even animals must be killed. You are talking about a mixture of religions but we seem very easy to understand even though in terms of religion is more clearly in his lighting. Thank you for choosing this best post at the moment and I really like it. Hopefully anyone can understand and can take advantage of what has been described above. Again this is an interesting post, a post that tells the first person to live in this world.
Very interesting series...keep it up...I mentioned you on my mile stone post of today bcos you a great guy...keep steeming hot
If only they had not eaten that forbidden fruit! Beautiful post brother! Keep up the lords work!
It was Satan who told them that by eating the fruit "it was an apple" you know that , they thought that they'll be immortal , but it was a trap THAT'S the TRUE STORY .

Good information in this blog, what a feeling could result in...............
Very nice article @gavvet. Adam and Eve really played a great role on how sins are made these days. I've read all your series and they are amaZing and well written thoughts. Im a fan! Steemit content should all be like this :)
Thanks
This story is different from the fruit of the khuldi eaten the same adam and is held by the angel kemudia concerned in his throat, so the men have Adam's apple. But you also have breasts because when the air eats the fruit there is nothing to prevent it. Have you heard about this?
Very interesting @ gavvet
I understand at least about the fruit. Because I've heard lectures from a famous scholar in our area.
Very interesting story of her.
Flower post @gavvet
I think this ia true story
Wow! A great story of ADAM and EVE. No matter what we have been done God still loves us.
I once made a post about love and hate and talked about how both emotions are intertwined but both of them have different weight. Emotions that are easier to grasp as well as emotions that we strive to embellish. Love tends to be a deliberate and intentional response to life, while hatred seems to be more visceral and unintentional.
We may strive to please God and be nurtured by him but many think that is too much effort, too strenuous and something that takes time and toil. However, something like hatred clouds one's mind and is something that is easier to strive to and attain.
I guess it does also suggest how from our negative actions there will always be a consequence to greet it. Their sacrifice, in this case, was to cause bloodshed and carnage of another entity to hide his own misdeeds.
A really enthralling post @gavvet
Funny
Intresting Story Thanks Bro :)
