God Wants
Sociopaths!!!
Very
forward.
The Bible is the Ultimate reference to God and Jesus, so the Bible is the literal Word of God. To view the Bible, in any way, metaphorically, figuratively, and symbolically is an insult to God himself. People that Believe...
may NOT interpret the Bible different than it is written...
may NOT make excuses for how it is written...
may NOT pick and choose what to believe...
HAVE to take the Bible as Black and White, Face Value, LITERALLY!!!, lest they be hypocrites!!!
2 Peter 1:20-21 In short, no one person is allowed their own interpretation of the Bible.
Genesis Chapter

Torah Verses 1-24
NAB (Catholic) Verses 1-24
KJV 1. Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field
which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye
shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2. And the woman said unto
the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3.
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath
said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4.
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5.
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be
opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 6.
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was
pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of
the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he
did eat. 7. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they
were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves
aprons. 8. And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden
in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence
of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. 9.
And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 10.
And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was
naked; and I hid myself. 11. And he said, Who told thee that
thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that
thou shouldest not eat? 12. And the man said, the woman whom
thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 13.
And the Lord God said unto the woman, what is this that thou hast done? And the
woman said, the serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. 14.
And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art
cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly
shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 15. And I will put enmity between thee and
the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and
thou shalt bruise his heel. 16. Unto the woman he said, I will
greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring
forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over
thee. 17. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the
voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee,
saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow
shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18. Thorns also and thistles
shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 19.
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the
ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt
thou return. 20. And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother
of all living. 21. Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of
skins, and clothed them. 22. And the Lord God said, Behold, the
man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth
his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: 23.
Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground
from whence he was taken. 24. So he drove out the man; and he
placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which
turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
NIV Verses 1-24
…well,
after reading that little lovely story, we know that God had good intentions in
not wanting us to eat the fruit from The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
He
did not want to burden us with the knowledge of Good and Evil, Right and Wrong,
Morality and Corruption.
He
did not want to burden us with becoming Moral Civilized people with the Civilized Feelings of Love (there is
logic to Love), Sympathy, Logical Understanding, Remorse (feeling responsible),
Guilt (accepting responsibility), Moderation/Self-control (tempering, controlling one’s actions),
Emotional Modesty, Seriousness, and Sincerity.
Without
these Civilized Feelings, we would
freely run rampant as animals with Natural
Freedom, the freedom of beasts, to do what we want with no regard of the
impact of our own actions.
If
we had not eaten the fruit…
Praise
be to God for his…Love
of Hatred…Peaceful Violence…Life of Death…Comfort of Pain…Justice of Prejudice…Purity
of Perversion…Fairness of Bigotry…Generosity of Greed...Understanding of Arrogance...and Humility of Self-centeredness!!!

, and I have cross-referenced this,
the story of the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil is a
parallel copycat of the Egyptian Heliopolitan Creation myth about Atum’s two
children.
