Can't God do something to correct this? Guess not.

Yes of course. And God put the tree right in the middle of the Garden and made it look good to eat. He could have hidden it away somewhere and made it smell like rotting feces. So of course God has a plan. What really happened was that our conscious awareness changed. It's only a "punishment" or a "curse" from our point of awareness. God is using this to refine us like gold in a fire. All impurities will be burned away. The uncomfortable reality of being self aware is not made better by rejecting the Bible.

@@theTavis01 What do you mean by this: What really happened was that our conscious awareness changed. It's only a "punishment" or a "curse" from our point of awareness.

@@sick_ibg712 Read it and see! Genesis 3 "God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." Their eyes will be opened. But this is not their physical eyes, because it says the fruit looked good to the eyes and Adam was naming the animals already! So it is talking about a greater level of awareness being awakened, one that makes us like God. The knowledge of good and evil is the knowledge of how to create and destroy. It gives us power over the environment, but it comes at a horrible cost. You see, it requires being bound to our bodies in helplessly isolated individual awareness, tempted by animals desires with access to a powerful brain. What is the very first thing that happens when they eat it? "Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves." Looking down and realizing you are naked is an act of conscious self-awareness. But this means that they must suffer the experience of the body succumbing to the inevitable pull of entropy. That is why it becomes a curse. Nothing changes but our awareness. The population of humanity was made in chapter one, male and female humans created in Africa. In Chapter 2, God takes a group of these humans east into an oasis in the Persian Gulf area and creates their human spirit. Adam was the spiritual father of all mankind. As a spirit, Adam did not die. Seemingly individual humans came and went but humanity as a whole thrived and so Adam was alive and there were no individuals only humanity. But when Adam became an individual tied to a body, he now faced death as the consequence. This is the "curse" we all live under. "And the Lord God said, 'The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.' So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken." God gave us the solution in the form of Christ. In Christ we are rejoined into a single living human spirit. We no longer suffer death when we are in Christ.

It’s because of free will

@@JC-cv3up Why would God create a flawed creation and then punish his creation for being flawed. Before Adam and Eve were created God knew they would disobey his rule and thus the rest of humanity would be punished as a consequence and he still created humans flawed. The free will from God doesn't work because he knows every decision anyone was/is going to make before we are even created. God knowingly creates autonomous beings without our permission that he knows he is going to punish for eternity afterwards. The people that God punishes were created with his awareness that they would fail and suffer for eternity. It doesn't matter if they made their own decisions because they were set to fail from the start especially since God doesn't communicate with his creation.

Well said 👍

@@The-F.R.E.E.-J. Yeah. The serpent spoke. By you saying “so God removed his limbs” reveals that you view this scripture through your own accumulated logic. Understand the stage you have set. Your logic vs the ancient writings of the Bible. Ok fair! As long as we know that the book has its own expressed logic. Just like you do. Let’s do “talking serpent” first. Before Eve it was Adam and the animals. The book says “God brought the animals before Adam to see what he would name them.” Off the bat we have a scenario that doesn’t make sense to modern man but fits perfectly with the logic of the book. You can’t read the Bible without stepping outside of your mental comfortably zone. So Adam dwelt with animals. We’re humans. We talk to our animals everyday. Since there was no Eve, Perhaps God allowed some animals to speak back. Logically, the speaking serpent never made me put the book down. It didn’t fail the logic test. Neither did the cursed serpent crawling and eating dust. Jesus cursed a plant because it didn’t produce fruit like it was supposed to. Move on. God/Satan/Job. There was a day or time that the “sons of God” presented themselves before The Lord and satan showed up. God challenged satan to a test involving the integrity of Job. Yes, in today’s vernacular we can safely call that a bet. Job suffered and was restored and God won the bet. Head scratcher? Yes. God is unjust? Never. He is the potter we are the clay. I’d leave that one alone because if you toss God (or the Bible) because you don’t like that story then don’t read the one about the prophet that was made by God to marry a prostitute to show His people how unfaithful they were to Him. She slept with every guy in town for years and EVERYBODY knew she was the wife of the guy who yelled “Thus sayeth Yhe Lord!” What about Jesus Himself ha! He was led “by The Spirit into the wilderness TO BE tempted by the devil!” Huh? Wah? Why? And then there’s the big one, God allowed people to spit on His Son and mock Him and rip His back open then allowed people to make Him carry His own wood to His place of execution where they nailed Him to the cross. And after all of that the scripture says “it pleased The Lord to bruise His Son.” Bible logic? YES Human logic? No but who cares? It’s 2022- where has human logic gotten us thus far? How are you making out in the logic department ? We don’t even have to address that last one about God creating evil. I say this gently, The Bible is greater than us. It’s concepts and precepts out rank ours. The Bible explains us. We can’t have an elbow to knee sit down with the Bible as if we possess the equipment to adequately challenge its teachings . I know, as humans we are the movers and shakers of the world and no other creature messes with us! No other creature messes with lions either (in their domain.) Or Eagles in their domain. No animal wakes up in the morning saying “time to go bag us a lion.” Or “hey I saw a couple of giant eagle’s about a half mile away. Man what a feast!” Yet! We (humans) put them in cages and train them to go fetch rocks and place them at our feet. Why? Because we have dominion over them! Well guess who has dominion over us? A lion can squirm and disagree all it wants. It’s going in the truck! Same with God! Everybody that has read these stories have had similar initial reactions, but our responses are different. There’s a scripture that put all my “questions” to rest. “The secret things belong to God! The things that are revealed belong to men.” Knowing this makes me say “ok then let me focus on what has been revealed!” I get frustrated reading manuals and instructions. I’ll toss them in a second and do the dang thing myself. Ha. Then my wife comes along and says ”no babe, look, it says right here….” God knew the world would wind up like this so He put an unmovable anchor in the earth called The Bible. For centuries man has fought against its contents. Unfortunately everybody that ever challenged it is either in or on it’s way to the grave. Yet it still stands. But it’s not over! Eventually all other writings and opinions and “books”will suffer the same fate. Because not one of them ever figured out the biggest problem in the world…. How to overcome death! You can tell the Bible has authority because it addresses the “death” problem. Jesus comes… raising the “dead!” Then overcoming “death” Himself. Because He has authority over death. The problem that no other has seriously attempted to address. Ok it’s Sunday. I gotta go praise the God of The Bible for all that He has done for US! You and me! PS… He loves you! He’s not moved by any unbelief you have towards Him. Keep coming at Him. Don’t toss the manual 😎

The Bible writers and the Bible preachers are all speaking for themselves. The evidence points to the human brain as the source.

Wrong. The word of God shows you what is moral. I'll take that over anyone's opinion.

The argument for objective morality is that there is one truth. there is a good and an evil despite what someone thinks. subjective morality means there are no moral absolutes and everything is equally moral based on who you’re talking to. because morality is objective people believe there is a right and a wrong even if you disagree what that is. if morality truly was subjective you would have to agree that somebody else thinks differently than you but that he’s not worse than you. I would have to agree that Hitler is just different and not worse than me.

@@isakhedeen yes. I don’t think hitler is better or worse than anyone. It might seem outrageous, but all you have to do is put yourself in their shoes and ask how you could have possibly been any different under those particular circumstances. For a society that condemns a particular race, it’s not likely for those people to discourage racism, unlike the influences that we have in our current society. But it’s not just that hitler is different to us, he is also the same because he is a human who was raised with certain biases like our own. We just think our morals are better because that was the way we were raised. But they are just biases.

@@geraldbennett7035 there is a relationship between the word of God and people. That relationship is one of the core principles of subjectivity because it requires us the exercise of interpreting what morality means according to God. And as far as my experience in Christianity, there is an essence of subjectivity through the conviction of the Holy Spirit. We know this because everyone’s relationship with God is different.

@@jesusislord2164 the only difficulty in that is proving wether or not it was written from the Lord or rather inspirations of the Lord from mankind

@@The-F.R.E.E.-J. It took a while but I figured you'd eventually respond, lol. I hope you are doing well. Your question "assumes" God is "people" and straightforwardly says that. God is not 3 individual people as you ask. That's probably why you don't understand who God is. You are trying to view Him as a super one of us or super individual people. So no, I haven't "visually" met the Father, Son or Holy Spirit. Through conviction and spiritual guidance, I've met the Holy Spirit. Through the written word I've been introduced to the Father and Son. But after I've departed this life, face to face with Jesus. Why Jesus and not the Father or Spirit? Because we've been created as physical beings. God the Son will interact with us through Jesus, in bodies incorruptible. Then, to know Jesus is to know the Father. As saved Christians, we have already met the Spirit in a limited way. So, on your point #1, ALL of what I say is Biblical. On your point #2, you treat the Father, Son and Holy Spirit as isolated beings. They are NOT. They are one but not in a modal sense. Since God transcends the physics of the universe that He has created, He can be one and also tri-relational as atoms are in a molecule. A "crude" analogy would be if you could imagine ONE complete molecule consisting inseparably of 3 atoms.

@Digital Renegade You said: _"Sex, money, and power all come from God."_ Really? Is that what people believe nowadays? I can give you sex, because that is intricately interwoven with our physiology, and I have never heard anyone claim it was a product of the Fall. But money clearly is a human construct; and does Jesus not say it should be returned to the emperor who made it? As for power... I am not sure what that refers to. In general, I would say that power presupposes a difference in strength and the threat to use that difference to the advantage of the strong and the disadvantage of the weak, which doesn't sound at all like the teachings of Christ that I grew up with. On the other hand, the ultimate difference in strength used to the advantage of the strong an the disadvantage of the weak is probably the story of the Fall itself, so I guess an argument can be made that this concept does originate with God. You said: _"God is good and every good and perfect gift comes from him."_ Well, I would say that neither sex, nor money and power are are "perfect", so that would argue against your view.

@Digital Renegade You said: _" I wouldn’t expect you to understand Wisdom. Foolishness is your creed."_ I note you do not address anything I said at all. You do claim you are wise, or at least proclaiming "Wisdom", and I am foolish in spite of your refusal to demonstrate that claim, to which I would say that it is not foolish to conclude that does not sound "wise" at all.

@@hansdemos6510 Money is never good very true. But since he compares money to sex and power; if we do good things with them they favor and honor God. That's why we should never love money because it will lead to evil.

St Paul had a stroke or an epileptic seizure while moving Christian converts to Damascus for trial. He describes his near death experience (NDE) as a blinding light and a voice asking him "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?' He asked the voice , 'Who are you, Lord?' The reply came, 'I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting." According to Paul, Almighty God or Jesus, (whichever) is being persecuted and has to send a lightning bolt with a message from Heaven for Paul or Saul to stop it.

@@JamesRichardWiley To be sure if I understand what you are say, are you say that "the blinding light and a voice" was Satan masquerading as an angel of light?

@@JamesRichardWiley The Bible refers to Christians as 'the 'Body of Christ', So when Jesus says 'why do you persecute me', he's referring to his body i.e. Jesus Way followers whom Paul (then Saul) was persecuting. Paul was on his way to Damascus to capture Christians, none were with him yet, if it were just a seizure how did Paul's companions also hear the voice? Around the same time a disciple named Ananias, who was in Damascus, had a vision from The Lord informing him to go help someone named Saul who had been blinded, another confirmation it was more than something in Paul's head. Peter later on also affirmed Paul as legit.

He did not interrupt the moment when Adam and Eve were about to eat the forbidden fruit, since they could choose to do so (Free will), even though God had told them they should not.

Then they and their children are to be released, and they will go back to their own clans and to the property of their ancestors. Because the Israelites are my servants, whom I brought out of Egypt, they must not be sold as slaves. Do not rule over them ruthlessly, but fear your God."_ (Indebted servitude) _"Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves.

We can never compromised God’s words to make things work out or be suitable for us. If God says it is a sin or it defiles a man then that’s that.

*CHRISTIAN APOLOGETIC RATIONALIZATIONS* To anyone not already indoctrinated into Christianity reading the above passages it is crystal clear that according to the Bible Jesus was supposed to return in the first century of the Christian Era. That has not happened. Yet the Christian religion persists with the majority of its adherents still awaiting the return of their savior. How have they reconciled their scriptures to reality? There are several lines of thought in Christendom about this. *Rationalization #1: Matthew 16:28 refers to Jesus’ transfiguration, not his second coming.* The transfiguration of Jesus is a story recorded in Matthew 17, Mark 9, and Luke 9. The first problem is that these Gospels place the transfiguration at different times. In Matthew, it occurs after Jesus made the prediction about his second coming. That might make it seem reasonable to think that it was a fulfillment of the earlier prediction. However, Mark and Luke place the transfiguration event before Jesus made spoke the prophecy. Laying aside the obvious discrepency in timing, we can say for certain that an event occurring before a prediction is made can’t be fulfilling the prediction. The “prediction” wouldn’t be a prediction at all. The preceding verse (verse 27) starts off the description of Jesus’ coming by saying he would come “in glory” with angels to dole out judgment to “every man”. That is not what happened in the transfiguration stories. Therefore, the explanation doesn’t work. Some try to make it work by separating verse 28 from the preceding verse so that the two verses talk about different “comings”. This is a baseless tinkering with the passage in order to make a doctrine fit the scripture. The same Christians who do this will accuse other of taking verses out of context when they disagree with an interpretation. Yet, this is exactly what they do here. *Rationalization #2: The word translated “generation” can mean “race”. So, Jesus meant the Jewish race would not die out before he returns.* This is a manufactured definition to suit doctrinal purposes. When you see “generation” in the New Testament is means just that - people living in a particular era, not a race of people. Elsewhere when he speaks of the Jews, he does so by saying “Jews”. It’s rather strange that he would speak cryptically in just this one instance. *Rationalization #3: When Jesus said “this generation shall not pass away” he meant the generation living at the time of the end times tribulation.* Correct! Jesus told his followers that they would go through persecution. So, he apparently thought they would be the generation living at the time of the end. It is evident in the writings of the New Testament that first century Christians saw the tribulations they were going through as a fulfillment of Jesus’ prediction about the end times and the tribulation. If they saw it as such, modern Christians have no real justification not to see it that way as well. Notice that Jesus didn’t say “that generation” - which would be the normal way of referring to a future generation. He said “this generation”. Besides through a plain common sense reading of the text, we know he meant the people alive while he was speaking because he said that some of his listeners (and the high priest at his trial) would still be alive to see his return to Earth. *Rationalization #4: When Jesus said that some of his listeners would be alive to see him return, he was talking about the Day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit descended on the church.* This is another explanation that is so far from rational that is it hard to accept that anyone sincerely believes it. The Book of Acts tells the story of the Holy Spirit appearing over the heads of the saints as tongues of fire endowing them with the magical ability to speak in unlearned languages. There is no mention of them seeing Jesus in the clouds with angels. The supposed event did not accompany the final judgment. None of the things Jesus said would occur at his return happened on the Day of Pentecost. *Rationalization #5: When it was revealed to John in his visions that Jesus would come quickly, it is to happen on God’s time scale, not a human time scale. “The time is near” and “coming quickly” are not to be taken literally. To God a thousand years is a day.* This is actually the first Christian attempt (found in 2 Peter 3) to explain away the fact that Jesus had not come as expected. Believers of the time had begun to waver in their faith because Jesus had not come back as promised. The writer tells them not to listen to people who say, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” (2 Peter 3:4) By “fathers”, he evidently means the founding fathers of the faith who had all died by that time. This is evidence that almost from the start of Christianity, believers have been wrestling with the apparent failure of their savior’s end times prophecy. In verse 8, the writer tries to reassure them by saying, “with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day” and continues in the next verse to say that the Lord is not slacking on his promise. He basically tries to make the argument that time is meaningless to God. This passage is in obvious contradiction to what Jesus himself said about his return and everything else written in the New Testament about it. This contradiction raises the question: Did the Simon Peter, one of Jesus’ personal disciples, actually write this book? The most truthful answer: Not likely. When reading 2 Peter, we must keep in mind when it was written. It is well-known that many of the writings floating around the early church were not written by the people claimed to have written them, but were forged by believers to push their particular doctrines. This is most likely the case with the book of 2 Peter. The first clue is that the writer acknowledged that “the fathers” have died. Since Peter was one of those founding fathers of the church, he couldn’t have written this book. It has proven difficult for scholars to pinpoint exactly when the book was written, but they all place its origin sometime between 60 and 160 A.D. This means that it was written at least 30 years after Jesus’ crucifixion is believed to have taken place when he was 33. Assuming his disciples were somewhere around his own age and taking into account average life expectancy of that time and that, according to church tradition, the apostles were all killed, none of them would have likely been alive in 60 A.D. (the earliest date scholars say the book would have been written). So, what can we make of the fact that this is in the Bible? It was written by a believer who didn’t want Jesus’ failure to come to cause the faith to die out. Knowing that Peter was a founding apostle and a personal disciple of Jesus who was deemed to be the first Pope of the Christian faction that came to be known as the Roman Catholic Church, the writer forged this book in Peter’s name. It seems likely that this was an attempt to keep believers in the nascent Catholic churches in the fold. This is not the only case of forgery to uphold Catholic doctrine. (There are other forgeries in the New Testament that have been recognized by scholars as such.) Whether written by the apostle Peter or something else, it is an obvious rationalization to try to deal with the failure of a prediction that came to be central to the Christian religion. We do not accept similar rationalizations from modern-day doomsdayers and we shouldn’t accept them from ancient religious people either. *Rationalization #6: In Matthew 16 when Jesus said some of his listeners would see him “coming in his kingdom”, he was talking about his coming into his kingdom in Heaven after his resurrection when he went back to Heaven. Many saw this event through visions.* This fails to take into account what Jesus said his “coming in his kingdom” would be connected to the day of judgment when he would “reward each according to his works”. As far as I know, no Christian apologists say the judgment occurred when Jesus supposedly went back to Heaven in the first century. Everything in the New Testament places judgment day at the end of the world. Even if we were to throw the Matthew 16 passage completely out of the Bible, there would still be the problem of other passages where Jesus said “this generation will not pass” before he comes and New Testament writers testifying to their belief that he would come in their lifetime. It is no wonder that this rationalization has largely been dropped by Christian theologians. *Rationalization #7: Maybe in our human understanding we don’t know what Jesus meant when he said “this general would not pass away” and that “some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom”. He couldn’t have meant he was coming in the first century because he hasn’t come back yet and that would make him a false prophet.* This rationalization is nothing more than interpreting the Bible by a doctrine you want to be true. If you’re going to believe in the Jesus of the Bible, shouldn’t you base your doctrines on what the Bible actually says? It is self-deceit to look at Jesus’ “prophecy” detailing his return in the lifetime of his disciples and rationalize why it didn’t happen. Only a mind interested in maintaining the illusion of faith could twist and mangle the plain words of the Bible the way Christians have in an attempt to make the incredible credible. An honest mind looking at the facts would have no choice but to admit that Jesus’ prophecy of the end of days has failed to come true.

More ironic, by the time that was written everyone was dead.

The problem with that looong list of reasoning: (1.) is your obvious unbelief in WHAT Jesus said, who He was, and WHO He was referring to. (2.) When Jesus addressed the generation of the time He lived on earth, He was talking about those who witnessed His resurrection and ascension (according to the ending of the 4 Gospels) and those who went with Him to paradise and those who He ministered to when He went to hell and took up with Him! ... Keep in mind, that ALL of the END TIME EVENTS that He spoke of were happening then and are still happening now. People are still dying (and "their world" is ending and they are yet facing their maker as we speak!!) Oh yes, Christ has been returning for the souls of believers and unbelievers for generations, and the end time rapture is still eminent... Your lack of belief in what He said does not change the fact that "our world" will end in death sooner or later and often when we least expect... (And here’s the HOTTEST question....) You went through ALL of that trouble, even listing scripture that you barely understopd, trying to obsessively put the issue of JESUS behind you... at the same time... Are you prepared to be wrong? --- I am just asking, because I am well-prepared to be wrong as well. (just a thought)
