>letting women make decisions

What do you mean what does it mean? The Bible is to be taken literally. The story of Adam and Eve is to be taken literally, nothing to interpret.

the original meaning of the story was about banking, predatory loans, usury, merchants and their contracts:

Then why don't you enlighten us?

why?

forgot to add, this is why usury was illegal in christian/catholic based societies up until the seventeenth century, but non-messianic jews could charge interest and that's why they managed the kings gold and ran the banks

Emanuel Swedenborg had a great take

Never forget that it was Eve who convinced Adam to eat the Apple, not the snake.
The whole thing is one giant metaphor of Jews corrupting women and causing the downfall of their men.

Its an economic methaphor. It took me years to understand it. In the garden, everything is abundant, so you don't have to work. In earth, everything is scarce, so you have to work.

Scarcity of goods, creates the institution of property. For instance, air is abundant (more than our necessity for air), so we don't need to appropiate. There's no private property of the air. But 99% of the goods are scarce, therfore property must exist. In the garden of eden this wasn't the case.

Now mix this with the traditional slutblaming, and you have the story.

It is a warning to humanity that women are easily deceived by false promises, and men are easily swayed by women through their lust for them if they do not obey God. Men must aspire to and practice high virtues and keep women modest and humble if a nation is to continue to exist. Swaying from God's commands means a sure path to societal decay and death.

This

anyone who sticks with the "woman are bad" do not understand the meaning of the story.
Stop posting shit, you're too ignorant

Human consciousness is induced from inhaling psychotic chemicals from plant.
Before that Humans were mere hunting animals.
Go take your dog and feed him pure DMT, see him talking and writing.

It was first Eve who sinned but Adam blamed God for giving him a woman instead of accepting responsibility and repentance for what he did. Woman was cursed that man will rule over her and have pain in child birth.

The woman sees knowledge as an okay thing to partake in, for she has no responsibility and therefore sees nothing wrong with the awareness that the fruit of the tree of life brings. Because it worked for her, se is now more after partaking, she offers the fruit to Adam. Adam, holding all of the responsibility,but knowing not yet to distrust,partakes of he fruit,and in doing so learns of the cost of the responsibility that he bears, and also the suffering that must come from living a life in sin. Thus, he tells eve to cover herself, and he does so as well, fearful of the judgement that he now knows awaits the both of them.

The meaning of the Adam and Eve story:
>Taking out a loan is mistrust that everything you need is in the Present Moment.

>In the Hebrew text of the Bible, we can clearly see that the Serpent in the Garden of Eden is a Creditor (as in Banker). We can see that most all the words for serpent in Hebrew refer to debt and lending. The serpent lends at interest to the couple in the Garden of Eden. This is taking the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Credit and Debt. And the son born of this loan is called Cain, which means "purchase".
And Cain, "Purchase", is the very first Seed of Commerce and the very first Murderer. The word Canaan is a pun outgrowth of the word Cain. Canaan means "Trade", or "Commerce" in the Hebrew Bible.
This taking of forbidden Fruit is the beginning of a debt that keeps reproducing 7-fold (7-fold vengeance), as the Biblical Seven-Headed Leviathan, as the Canaanite Seven-Headed Lotan, as the Greek Nine- or Seven-Headed Hydra. In the Hebrew, the Great Serpent Leviathan also clearly refers to Debt. The root of Leviathan is Levi, which means "to bind" and "Debt". Levi is the Israelite tribe that brought in the Levitical Law of Moses, the Law of Credit and Debt. Leviathan is the Beast of Commerce. Leviathan is threaded through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, as the Seven-Headed Dragon.

Adam enters sedated Eve beneath wisdomless tree
Death spell of the beckoning of the serpent
Forked tongue wags as his mouth it spews his wretchedness
A paradise of pain
An obscene Eden insane blood drips near the base of his erection
Down her palish thigh much to the satyr's satisfaction

Impart these burdens to all man, corruptively
Poisoned the apple shines in hand, so rottenly
At the tree of life with noose in hand, horrendously
Divine insanity begins

Absurd our innocence was lost
Eternal is the cost
Transgress at the tree of good and evil
Estowing shame and guilt into the hearts of his created fools

All truths will be revealed
Mortality is sealed
In god's name it's believed that we should thank him
When on this blackened day by his foul curse we were forsaken

Impart awareness to all man condemningly
Luring temptation placed in hand pervertedly
The tree of wisdoms deviant in mockery
Conceive our blasphemy

Of god and serpent of spectre and snake
Shamed in our nakedness forever we're the blamed
Of god and serpent of spectre and snake
One in the same are they a fiend of many names

Pillaged hymen perforates
It sorely gives away
Unto the blood engorged lust
Of sick humanity

Swallow whole the both of them
O Luciferian snake
And so was spawned the soulless world
When foul semen met poisoned egg

Carnality unending the torment in divine
In this garden of delight
Depravity unceasing eternity defined
Innocence left behind in this garden of delight

Slithering gold majestic snake
As who would hiss one thousand lies
Coiling around the first created
Constrict them of their mortal lives

Of god and serpent of spectre and snake
Shamed in our nakedness forever we're the blamed
Of god and serpent of spectre and snake
One in the same are they a fiend of many names

>Now, let's see how the Serpent invading Eden is the Creditor, lending at interest (Click on the links to see for yourself the original Hebrew Masoretic texts with lexicons & their meanings, courtesy of Blue Letter Bible):

>In *Genesis 3:13 Eve says, "The serpent *[נחש nahash] deceived [נשא nasha'] me."

>The Hebrew Bible is filled with plays on words totally missed in translation. The word nasha means both 'deceive' and 'lend on interest,' or 'be creditor'.
>*[In Strong's Lexicon, 'deceive' is נשא (nasha'), {Srong's # 5377}, which also means 'lend on interest' {Strong's 5378} which is found in 1Sam 22:2, Neh 5:7, Psa 89:22, Isa 24:2, all of which, like the Koran, strongly denounce lending at interest}.]

>Now look at the Hebrew word for snakebite, nashak [Strong's 5391], which also happens to mean both 'lend' and 'borrow on interest' (Num 21:6-9, Deut. 23:19, Prov. 23:32, Jer. 8:17, Amos 5:19, etc).
> 'The serpent bit me,' Eve says.
> 'The creditor charged me interest,' Eve says.

cont:
>Yes, we see that the word for 'serpent,' nahash, is also a wordplay with the word for 'deceive,' nasha. Nahash also means 'divination,' and also 'copper' or 'bronze,' the basic currency *[Strong's 5174 & 5175], just like our English word 'cobra' is related to 'copper'. You can see this play on words taken into the story of Moses lifting up the Bronze Serpent in the wilderness:

>So Moses made a bronze [nahashet] serpent [nahash], and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent [nahash] had bitten [nashak] anyone, when he looked at the bronze [nahashet] serpent [nahash], he lived. (Numbers 21:9)

>If a serpent had bitten anyone can literally be translated, "if a serpent had become creditor to anyone..."!

>Now it gets even more intriguing. A variant spelling of nasha [5375], pronounced the same, means 'to lift up, bear up, carry, be exalted, bear sins, atone for sins.' And the related word for 'debt' is nashi [5386]. Now you can see what Jesus is referring to when he says,

> As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up. (John 3:14)

> This word nasha is used first by Cain in Genesis 4:13,

> This punishment is more than I can bear [nasha].'

> And, as we have seen, the word 'Cain' itself is a pun on the word canah, which means 'purchase'! Again, the play on words:

> And she conceived and bore Cain, and said, I have purchased [קנה (qanah)] a man from Yahweh." (Gen. 4:1)

>Now we can see why there is a Jewish interpretation that Cain is actually the son of the Serpent!

>Cain is the son of purchase, of credit & debt,
while Abel is the son of Grace.

The symbolism is so blatantly obvious. What is the serpent? hmmm....

It's saying that sex is the source of all human sin and suffering and we are damned to it since "creation"

cont:
>Ancient Canaan is the location of present-day Israel. Leviathan is the Serpent of Canaan. We see how Canaan means "trade" or "commerce" in the Hebrew Torah. We have seen the play on the words for 'Cain' & 'purchase' in Genesis 4:1. The Hamitic land of Canaan, called Palestine and Israel today, was wedged between two great Hamitic superpowers, Babylon and Egypt, and two great continents. This made it the land of Trade - the land of war, oppression, and deceit - the products of Trade. And it was out of this that the rage of the Bible is born.

>Now you can see, more and more, studying both the Bible and history, that the Canaanites were not a literal race of people, but were the Spirit of Commerce that possessed the people. Indeed, scholars & archaeologists have generally been confused as to what culture "Canaan" actually refers to. Now we begin to understand one of the very themes of the Torah which has been so troubling for thousands of years: to invade Canaan and wipe out every vestige of Canaanite from the land! The Canaanites were a tribe of seven clans descended from Canaan, a nation of seven heads (Deuteronomy 7:1, Genesis 10:15) , the Dragon of Seven Heads.

>The later Jewish prophets confirm that Canaan refers to a mentality, a spirit, the System of Commerce, not to a physical race of humans:

>Wail, you inhabitants of the market district!
For all the merchant people [canaanites] are cut down;
>All those who handle money are cut off.
(Zephaniah 1:11)

>And there is no merchant [canaanite] any more in the temple of Yahweh of Hosts in that day!
>(Zechariah 14:21)

Is debt a metaphysical thing or just human creation?

the story is a warning never to go into debt by asking for loans, that's it

basically it's a metaphor for women = bad

In order to understand the beginning, you must see it in the context of the entire story, and specifically from the end.
Specifically, Christ, his death and resurrection.
You cannot fully understand the meaning of the resurrection if you aren't saved. Which only a small percentage of you are, even if some of you faggots Christian LARP.

every time a shill posts i'll keep posting more of the meaning
cont:
>And Jesus' clearing the merchants from the temple is a direct act-out of the above Zechariah scripture. Wiping out the Canaanites! Jesus' driving out the merchants from the temple, apparently on two different occasions, is so important it is mentioned in all four Gospels (Matthew 21:12, Mark 11:15, Luke 19:45, John 2:15) .

>Indeed, we even see a play on words, referring to the Canaanite, in the above John passage (2:17), in which John quotes Psalm 69:9: "For zeal [qanat (קִנְאַת)] for your house has consumed me." Yes, the Hebrew word for zeal is qanat (קִנְאַת). The word meaning zealot is translated into Greek in other Gospel passages as kananaios, and translated into English as Canaanite in many English Bibles, as in Simon the Canaanite in the King James Version of Matthew 10:4.

>Zeal is motivation is passion. There are two types of zeal that motivate humans. One is the zeal of self-credit (including money), and one is the zeal of love. Because we humans want motivation, want life, the zeal of fanatical religion often fools us, because it is most often not the zeal of love but the zeal of self-credit. The proof is quite obvious: zealous religion almost always goes hand-in-hand with big-money politics and corporations. People are unhappy with "conservative" religion because its zeal is for money. People are unhappy with "liberal" religion because it has no zeal at all, no life! So people swing from one to another until they are sick of all religion. Neither the conservative nor the liberal religion have the zeal of love, which is what all living things crave, because such zeal is the very Essence of Life. Once in a while, somebody like George Fox, Mohandas Gandhi, or Martin Luther King arise, with the true Zeal of religion, a zeal that breaks out of sectarianism and appeals to people of all faiths and non-faiths: "having favor with both God and people.

heh I went to high school with that guy

cont:
>Thus, Jesus' mission was to wipe out the false zeal (Canaanite) and replace it with the True Zeal. Wipe out artificial life and replace it with Authentic Life.

>Canaanite zeal persecutes anyone who questions it

>According to the Markan account (Mark 11:18), this event was what began the conspiracy to kill Jesus.

>Hasn't this threat of conscience against commerce been the true cause of most, if not all, persecutions, assassinations and wars, from ancient times right up to the present?

>The Jewish prophets Ezekiel and Hosea both declare that their very own people, with their corrupt religion, given over to greed and world commerce, are Canaanites and the children of >Canaan (the Amorites and the Hittites):

> and say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD to Jerusalem:
> "Your birth and your nativity are from the land of Canaan;
> your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.
> (Ezekiel 16:3)

> The Lord also brings a charge against Judah,
> and will punish Jacob according to his ways;
> according to his deeds he will recompense him.
> He took his brother by the heel in the womb,
and in his strength he struggled with God.
> A cunning Canaanite!
> Deceitful scales are in his hand;
> he loves to oppress.
> And Ephraim said,
> "Surely I have become rich,
> I have found wealth for myself"
> (Hosea 12:2-8)

Debt exist because of trade.
Humans were no longer groups of hunter gatherer. They wanted peaceful trade of things. Next came the common denominator of concept of money. Its not a bad concept. Then came deferred payment. The debt. The loan. Debt someone creates problem by always benefitting the lender and thus a pyramid of power is born.

Would there could have been better option than money to ease trade and stop hunting and killing?

If not everything can be justifie whether they did it knowingly or unknowingly.

cont:
>Our Fight Is Not Against Flesh And Blood!

>This contradicts the usual conventional Christian and Jewish interpretation that the Canaanites are some other race of people. Those who think they are fighting Canaanites are fighting themselves. Is the fight is against flesh and blood (like Palestinians or Arabs or Islam, or, conversely, against Europeans or Judaism or Christianity) or is the fight against principalities and powers (greed and world commerce, which hijack religion and culture)?

>This commercial mentality, this banker's mentality, found its highest development in the middle-eastern land of Canaan, and continues strong, more powerful than ever, to this day, spread over the entire world. It has, so far, found its strongest power by masquerading itself as "Judaism" and "Christianity," and loves to boast about "God and country" as it conquers and sells out the world, destroying cultures and the environment. Look around: who, indeed, are the great bankers and corporate CEOs of the world? Who are the ones who give greatest support to bankers and corporations?

>But please, beware: Again, I'm not talking about race or even religion, but I'm talking about a mentality, a spirit, that hijacks religion and culture, that hijacks yours and my very own minds. Never be a Fascist Nazi, never forget, Our fight is not against flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12).

>I Am Who I Am, Come to Fulfill the Law

>The great religious mystery is that the Levitical law is to become fulfilled, to become obsolete, at the End of Time. And how can the End of Time be anything but the Eternal Now, the Day of Jah? If the End of Time were in the Future, then it would be part of time, no? The End of Time is Now, and the fulfillment of all Time and all Law is Now. The Hebrew word for God (יהוה) means the Eternal Present. Money does not and cannot exist in the Present Moment, in Reality! This is not opinion. This is simple observation, if we but look inside. Nevertheless, if you are still having a hard time grasping this concept, see What Money Is and What Money Is Not. When the mind is Now, Money/trade has served its purpose and becomes obsolete. All written law becomes fulfilled, obsolete, Now. All that we think, all that we think is ourselves, all that we think is real, is anihilated, crucified, when we enter into Now, beyond thought.

>Behold, Now is the accepted time; behold, Now is the day of salvation.

you asked for the meaning of Adam and Eve's story and yet you reject it?
Why?
Why even bother asking if you don't want to learn

God created man in his own image. But man was too perfect so he created woman to cripple man.

Eve eating the fruit is the first instance of sin in the Bible. Lucifer, who used to be an angel, caused this sin in order to tempt man and bring him down from the garden of Eden.

God wanted to see if man could overcome the cripple of woman and the cripple of harsh human life and once again become as a God or even greater.

Obviously to implement conception of first sin e.g. every person is guilty just because they are humans and God can punish them even if they are newborn babies or the purest saints.

Um was it not written by Jews?

1. Don't trust empirical knowledge over faith in God
2. Don't listen to women

The story of Adam and Eve describes the fall of man into the state of original sin.

The serpent represents the demon who maliciously tempts Adam and Eve to sin against God.

This user gets it

No, it was written by Hebrews. What we know of as "Jews" today are Babylonian mongrels who worship Satan and pretend that they're descended from ancient Hebrews to trick Christians into supporting them.

it's about humans going from being like pets to being like gods - knowing good and evil. Unlike gods we have to learn these through experience though, but still - thanks Eve, and Satan, rather that than being a fucking pet

imagine being this much of an incel. In the time that this story was written women were fucking dirt. The central story to a religion would not be about women because they are as important as the goat herd. It is about men's sexual desire. It says that all sin and suffering stem from sex.

You’re all idiots. The story of Adam and Eve is intended to establish the concept of original sin and show why humans are so different from animals. Here’s basically how it went, in green text format so you retards can understand:
>Be me, ancient guy
>Life is short, brutish and painful
>Why?
>Heaven exists, so why isn’t Earth like heaven?
>We must have done something super bad and gotten kicked out somehow
>I wonder what we did?
>Later
>Have to kill a chicken for my family
>This chicken is alive like me
>But the two of us are leagues apart
>I can create and destroy by myself, the chicken can’t
>See animals growing, loving, fearing, and dying, just like humans
>But never seen one create
>The only other entity that can create like humans is God
>The first humans must have stolen creation from god somehow
>That must be why they were kicked out of heaven.
>It all makes sense now!
>God my wife is calling for me
>What a bitch
>I bet it was a woman who ruined it all for men.
That’s all there is to it. Literally every culture has a variant of these stories, trying to explain why humans are special. No need for terrible interpretations of Hebrew or overly convoluted explanations. Just a bunch of people trying to find meaning?

Now, the real interesting question: why is pol obsessed with finding the most convoluted retarded explanations for everything, even when a simple one would do just fine?

It's not hard to understand you dumb noob

>all sin and suffering stem from sex
nigger you're dumb as hell
God put a naked man and woman in a garden together, and told them to be fruitful and multiply he obviously wanted sex to happen
if 'sex bad' was meant to be the moral of the story the author wouldn't have had to have a third party convince them to do something to get kicked out, God would have just kicked them out after they started fucking

Since usury was a sin in Catholic/Christian societies but not part of the ten commandments then why was it considered a sin?
Why was it banned from those societies until only a few hundred years ago?

what demon? there is no demon

Nocturnal and Miasma best albums

Even if it was written by the same Jews (it was written by Noah), then it would just be God working through the hand and mind of the writer to get the message through to future generations.

And that serpent is a penis.
> in the garden of pleasure a "serpeant" slithered out and whispered in Eve's ear, convincing her to partake.
> "Innocence" was lost and humans were bestowed with shame and guilt in their nudity
it's so blatantly obvious yet churchgoers think it's just a kooky history lesson or a random reason for original sin. Do you really think some fucking fruit matters?
> Oh yeah it's just vague "original sin"
No it's pretty obvious that it is about sex being the origin

Imagine unironically believing this

too real

I'm sorry but your esoteric interpretation of genesis isn't as profound or relevant as you think it is.

>All truths will be revealed

The Fall of Adam and Eve was a part of Heavenly Father's plan. If they had not transgressed, they would have remained in a state of innocence knowing no sin or agency. By their fall, they carried out the Lord's command "to be fruitful and multiply."
See the book of Mormon, Nephi 2:15-16.

Genetic engineering. Google William Bramley God's of Eden pdf

Adam and eve were living essentially as dumb blind animals in a gated enclosure with no worries or fears. The serpent tempts eve into eating the fruit saying they will become as gods. They eat it and suddenly they become neurotic and ashamed of their nudity; they are no longer in a paradise as the consummation of the fruit has turned from dumb animals into human beings. God, pissed off, says "Since you ate the fruit and wanted to become as gods, then you will now be aware; you will be aware of your mortality, of your weaknesses, of your inadequacies. You will know there are horrible things out there waiting to devour and destroy you, you will be cursed with being aware of your own future, you will feel pain, loss, despair, and most of all, knowing you will ultimately die." In that manner, adam and eve both blessed and cursed themselves, moving beyond being a blind, hedonistic animal, but also coming into contact with all the drawbacks of elevated intelligence and awareness; they would not get to live in paradise any longer

This.

I don't think the bible story is profound because I'm an atheist.

shepherdschapel.com/answers-to-the-critics
To say that I teach racism or practice racism is another outright lie. We have people of all races that attend and study with the Shepherd's Chapel. It is very simple to prove this statement. We televise our annual Passover meetings including video interviews of many of the thousands who attend. Order a video tape of any of these interviews and you will see people of all races which effectively documents the falseness of any charges that I teach racism (a sample of Passover Interviews is also offered at the end of this document). God's Word directly teaches that our Heavenly Father created all the races and that it was good, (Genesis 1:27-28, 31). People of all nations and races shall be in the Temple of the Lord throughout eternity (Revelation 21:22-27).

Why would the first set of stories be about so mundane a thing? Especially right after God creating the heavens and the earth. Do you have a source for your theory? Is that an interpretation held by bible scholars or just some stoner thing you came up with?

the link to the explanation was in my first post in this tragic thread

the snake is never mentioned as satan at all. Chronologically satan was still head angel

Satan was never an angel. You're thinking of Lucifer.

With knowledge of good and evil comes the capacity to sin. It almost seems to parallel the theory of evolution. As apes we lacked the insight to make us wise, but with the power our knowledge grants us, we're also burdened.

just because you guys here are incels doesn't mean that the bible was written by one
holy shit in a patriarchal fucking society where women were literal property you think one of the main stories of a religious text is centered around fucking bitches' behavior and/or sex? For what fucking purpose? That's presentism at its most blatant, get a fucking grip

I'm not a christian, it just seems to be the most logical conclusion. The sex angle you seem to be coming from has some degree evidence behind the symbolic angle, but other than that its a little weak. Also for some reason you posted random song lyrics which doesn't even make sense in a literary criticism. You'll need more evidence to make a convincing argument. Right now you're just coming off as schizophrenic and thinking on base level terms

It's a metaphor for the curse of understanding good and evil... Sentience is a curse.

Man can never be content as long as he can plan for the future. He has a constant battle with his biology, his fears and desires.

Also Earth is the kingdom of darkness and we are preyed on by the evil desires of the ego. An animal accepts what's around them, but a human has the ability to think and plan, which means his displays of dominance a can be rather evil.

one thing the OP got right was this:
>99% of Christians couldn't tell you what it so blatantly means
ironically that includes the OP too

It's just about growing up, losing the innocence of youth and being thrust out into the real wold where daddy won't protect you from every little thing. How is this not obvious?

It is a parable clearly outlining that women are gullible fools and that they will go to any lengths to bring men down with them after they fuck up and therefore are not to be entirely trusted, not even the best of them.

Yes the serpent is a penis. Obvious.

They are nude and have no knowledge of good and evil because they're... CHILDREN. Duh!

The learn "sin" because they grow up and start messing around.

Now that Eve is fucking, she has to pay by giving birth.

They learn good and evil because they are now adults. Their innocence is gone because duh, they're adults now. They have "knowledge" because they're adults.

When you read Genesis with this interpretation in mind, it all makes so much sense. Not sure why people make this so complicated. What the fuck do you think the first book of the Bible is going to be about? Oh, I don't know, the outlines of the human experience? Shit, don't know why people are so resistant to this blatantly obvious interpretation. It's like people have gotten steadily stupider for the last 2000 years.

It's a metaphor for what happens after passing women's suffrage
