[quote:Rock Reynolds nli 126161:MV8yNDEwNDJfNDc5MzQ4MV9DMDQyNkY0Mg==] Hi OP!! The "forbidden fruit" was the ability to write. With the ability to write, came the ability to deceive. People can be deceived through spoken words, but written words multiply deceptive powers immeasurably: - Written words don't flinch under cross examination. - Written words don't change their stories. - Written words can be perceived by more people than spoken words, through books and other written instruments. - Written words can be organized more carefully than spoken words. It took several generations from the time that the serpent taught Eve to write, to the fruition of the deception: the Law of Moses. God's true law consists of only two commandments, neither of which needs to be written: "Love God" and "Love your neighbor". The Law of Moses includes the true law of God: "Love God" in Deuteronomy, Ch 6, v 4; and "Love your neighbor" in Leviticus, Ch 19, v 18. But everything else in the Old Testament is a written deception from Satan, carried out by mankind. "Love God" and "Love your neighbor" are the ONLY valid scripture in the entire Old Testament. God does not have the ability to write. We can only contact God through our consciences. The "fall of mankind" is the belief that God's law needs to be written. God only needs two laws, and, although they are written in the Old Testament, we ALREADY KNEW them to be true BEFORE they were written. Jesus was well aware of Moses' deception. Jesus declared the two verses that define God's true law, as God's ONLY commandments (Matthew, Ch 22, v 40). Jesus also knew that the Law of Moses was an oxymoron, that defined itself to be invalid. The Law of Moses declares only one God, yet relies on the authority of Moses, a man. Jesus rendered the Old Testament invalid with his question to the Pharisees that they could not answer: "Was Moses a God or a man?" With Jesus' declaration that the Old Testament was invalid, Jesus also declared the three religions that rely on the Old Testament to be invalid: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (Bet you won't hear THAT in church!).
