I think that
one of the most difficult things to do is to study to show yourself approved. The reason is because you are forced to believe and realize that there are some things that you have been misinformed about. The easiest thing to do is to go to church and let the Pastor do all the studying for you. However, this is the one thing that Jesus Christ tells you not to do. Believe it or not, you have to do the studying for yourself; and that is the hardest thing to do.
It means that you have to change your way of thinking; and even lifestyle to meet with the demands of a state of solitude in order to study correctly. It is interesting that Jesus says "Be ye perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect (Matthew 5:48)," or as my Rotherham's Emphasized Bible says, "Ye therefore, shall become perfect: As your heavenly Father is perfect." Hard statement for Jesus Christ to make; and it leads me to a study that is totally against what the majority of the church's in the U.S. teach. Most teach that nobodies perfect, which contradicts what Jesus Christ is actually saying. In essence, they are calling Jesus Christ a liar.
Simply stated, what was the sin in the Garden of Eden? Was it eating the apple as we have all been taught. I will give you some pointers (bullets if you may) for the reason why I don't think that the sin in the Garden of Eden was eating an apple:
1) If eating the apple was the sin, than please someone tell me why Adam and Eve covered their private parts and not their mouths.
2) Since when do serpents talk?
3) I know that God can do anything, or can he?
Here are three points that I want to make, and there are many more to come; but this is going to be extensive, so please bare with me.
First of all, there is a sin in the world that seems to have everybody stand up and take notice. It is a sin that if you speak it, people will listen; they will take notes, men, as well as women die for this sin; and yet, there are so many diseases associated with this sin, as well as different lifestyles that many seem to like to enjoy. It is a sin that has been over exploited as well as under exploited; in the majority of the time it is never treated with respect, or put into its proper perspective. So what is that sin? You guessed it, "sexual." Could it be that the sin in the Garden was not eating an apple, but sexual in nature; and not between Adam and Eve in the beginning, but between Satan and Eve, and then Adam? I know this is a hard thing to swallow (Sorry, no pun intended), but it definitely makes sense:
"It happened after the sons of men had multiplied in those days, that daughters were born to them, elegant and beautiful (Gen. 6:1-2). And when the angels, the sons of heaven, beheld them, they became enamored of them, saying to each other: Come, let us select for ourselves wives from the progeny of men, and let us beget children (The Book of Enoch Chapter 7:1-2)." (This Enoch is not to be confused with the Enoch that was fathered by Cain ( Gen. 4:16-18) This Enoch was fathered by Jared; who was a direct descendent of Adam. This Enoch walked with God, fathered Methuselah, and was eventually taken by God, never to see death. This is important, because this is a mistake that many make. Gen. 5:18-21).
This passage I got from the "Book of Enoch," but the Bible is a lot more subtle in its interpretation of this sin; and it takes a great amount of study to reveal the true meaning of what the Bible is trying to say. First consider:
1) There is the Law of Kind after His Kind, and the Law of the First Born. In other words if Cain was fathered by Adam than he would have the right to Adams inheritance of the first born. However, he is not listed in Adam's genealogy. He should be the first one after Adam, but Seth (meaning - replacement) is there and not Cain, and in fact; Eve states that Seth replaces Abel, because "Cain slew him (Gen. 4:25) This is unprecedented; since when do you replace a dead son (second born) with a new son, when the oldest son (first born) is still living. Very simple, the Oldest son (Cain) was not fathered by Adam; but was fathered by Satan.
Lot of Christians like to spiritualize this by stating that Cain sinned by killing Abel and was banished from the Garden of Eden. Therefore he was disinherited by this act of murder. However, he would still be listed as the first born of Adam if he actually was. It is interesting to note that God chose Jacob over Esau (the first born), and there is a suggestion that Esau may actually have been fathered by another race; or angelic being. This could be the reason why he disregarded his birthright. God rejected many first born: He chose Isaac rather than Ishmael (Hagar was Hebrew; however, the promise went to Sarah, not Hagar), he took Joseph rather than Reuben, and Pharez rather than Zarah. All for specific reasons that would take to long to explain here.
2) There actually is no word in the Bible for "serpent." The Hebrew word that is used here is "nachash," and it means hiss, whisper a magic spell, divine enchanter, to use enchantment, learn by experience, a snake (hisses like a snake), a serpent (symbolic for a hissing serpent, one that uses stealth). (#5175 - Hebrew Chaldee Dictionary of Strong' s Exhaustive Concordance to the Holy Bible). In the New Testament, the corresponding root word translated from the Greek is "Ophis," and it means sharpness of vision, from #3700, to gaze with wide open eyes, as at something remarkable, a snake, (figuratively- as a type of sly, cunning), an artful, malicious person, especially Satan: Serpent. Is it any wonder that Satan is known as the "Dragon," and "Serpent." Another thing that is interesting is that the symbol of Judaism, or modern day Israel is the "star of David," which is a Satanic symbol that comes out of Babylon; and also the "Serpent" is one of their symbols.
3) "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 (Genesis 3:15)." The first question to ask here is simply, since when do woman have seed? They carry seed; they don't have seed. It is true that this is the first prophecy of the coming of Jesus Christ, but still he has to come from somewhere. It is easy to spiritualize this scripture like most Church's do, but is that what is really referred here? Could this mean that the woman's seed (Adamic), and the Satanic seed (Cain) would be at enmity with one another.?
Enmity - Hebrew "eybah #342 and #340 and means to hate, be hostile, be an enemy, hostility, enmity, hatred. The truth is that God is speaking of the seed line that the savior (Jesus Christ) was to come from. Hence, Jesus Christ is a direct descendant of Adam through King David, Abraham, Noah (perfect in his generation, In other words pure blooded, not of mixed race), Seth, and finally Adam (white man, blood in the face red). Yes, Jesus Christ was a direct descendant of Adam who was white. Jesus Christ was white, not black; and the Hebrews were not black, but white. Adam was the father of the white race, no other race. There are big problems of believing that all races came from Adam. This will result in a follow up article.
