The english version of genesis, the story we all know was all made up by the early translators. To hide the original text. |

!?! User ID: 1362 United Kingdom 09/18/2006 08:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Forbidden fruit – could be one of the following: 1) Knowledge – the Church don’t want the masses to think or learn – easier to control that way and therefore makes the church leaders appear more intelligent 2) Human Brains (seriously) to keep the masses from cannibalising each other - appears that this was a relatively common practice in those days 3) On a more personal note, Kiwi fruit – as this gives me terrible wind |

lacarolina User ID: 164204 United States 11/30/2006 06:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Time travel. [link to thebeloveddisciple.org] "Most people who believe in God would agree that He/She needs us to know whether our own actions are good or evil, if only to stop ourselves from repeatedly performing evil acts. Therefore, knowledge of subjective good and evil cannot be ‘forbidden fruit’. Knowledge of the good or evil of others could be forbidden because of our propensity to judge. If we are not present when another carries out an act we cannot know (with certainty) whether the act is good or evil. However, were we to go back in Time and witness the act of another unfolding before our eyes, we would consider ourselves in a stronger position to know if the act were good or evil. It is that knowledge of the good and evil of another (that we would obtain by going back in time to ‘experience with our senses’ the act unfolding) that would be forbidden." |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 178594 Sweden 01/07/2007 02:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I already posted this... Quoting: Stan P. 78539God's First Warning to Mankind: "The Knowledge of Good and Evil" is JUDGEMENT. When you JUDGE. You limit your consciousness. This also starts wars due to divisional thinking. Rather than unity thinking. Anyway... When Jesus said: "Father, Forgive them..." it was an example of NON-JUDGEMENT (aka Un-Conditional Love). That's what The Lesson (or "the meaning of life) is. But don't tell anyone because they'll call you "crazy". Best Wishes, Stan Plock you hit the nail there buddy! |
MeThinks.!. User ID: 161564 United States 01/07/2007 02:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | from what I read You ALL GOT THIS ONE WRONG. The Fruit it's self was NOT THE POINT. IT IS THE FACT THEY WERE TOLD NOT TO EAT IT THAT IS THE POINT. It Was a TEST, YES A TEST. The Sin was DISOBEDENCE. Until they ATE the Forbiden Friut they Knew NO Sin. When they ate the fruit Their EYES Were Opened, They Knew THEY HAD Disobayed GOD. That's it in a NUT SHELL. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 178259 United States 01/07/2007 04:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It was the knowledge that satan shared w/Adam and Eve to put a wedge between God and man because he was jealous of the relationship Adam(man) had w/God. Lucifer(satan) felt left out as being God's highest angel. So, to answer your question..why do you think it was named "The Tree Of Knowledge"? I believe it is only a metaphore. We were hungry for knowledge after satan convinced us of how great it would be...so we "partook" or ate from the Tree Of Knowledge...If you will. Very easy. |
