The Beginning of Warning Signs.

OLAADEGBU: The Beginning of Warning Signs.

The Beginning of Warning Signs was when God warned Adam and Eve not to eat these fruits.
Not positive, does not help that when someone searches for an answer does not.
Christians often tend to seek answers to justify or give credence to things confusing.
The Judeo-Christian God loved and loves to punish ... flagellar create floods, plant pests ...
The fruit may have been just a block ... God was angry (as it often is in the Bible) and Adam and Eve paid ...
According to some reactions that god, we can conclude that it is merely irritable, angry and quite unbalanced.

Side effects of not taking heed to the warning signs.

Image123: Gen 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
Gen 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Obviously, from this passage it is not figurative. It was planted by God , and grew, and was in the middle of the garden of Eden. the garden of Eden is not Eve's body BTW. And the name of the tree is stated so i wonder why the question. The name of the fruit is the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil

Well I get ur point, but I view the whole scenario as figurative. Sometimes I view dat forbidden fruit as SEX, datz ya sexual organ in d midst of ur leg... And the man ur spirit being... Juz as u get tempted to have sex now...(urge) so were Adam and Eve tempted. Well it could also mean as exact as the bible said but the answer will be revealed when we get there. Take heed all don't let any deceive you... Their are several wolves sent among us but with God on our side we will win.
HE WILLS ALL IN MY LIFE!

Babe. U should have said it now! since U re near to the answer. Anyways, for me. That fruit is SEX[/size][size=8pt]

This answer is wrong. It was neither fruit nor sex. What d bible said is an allegory or symbolic. Its not a physical tree b/c there's no such tree of d knowledge of good and evil nor life. Its not sex b/c thesame God who created them asked them to be fruitful n multiply...He also created naked. Actually, the bible is figurative. The words we see in it have deeper meaning. There's a spirit behind d words which gives life to them that find it but the physical letters kill if u see them physically. The word tree means 'a source'. Naturally we eat of d fruits of trees to get vitality; to substain our physical body. Trees are source of life physically. So when d bible used the tree of d knowledge of good good n evil which result to death and d tree of life, it meant to say source of death n source of life. The eating refers to a drawing inspiratn frm any of d sources or mediating in any of them. Of a true, these two trees are in man b/c d garden itself is in man. The tree of life is christ in man or God's plan for the man, dwelling in it gives life. That is why Jesus Christ said He's d bread( source) or tree(source) of life. On the other side d tree that result to death has to do with d fear in man. D fear of what to eat, drink, n wear. Put together, the desires of men. So when d bible says do not eat frm that tree, it means, do not meditate or do not think about ur desires but that of God whici gives life.

The fruit was s_e_x and it bare Cain. Read Gen 3:15 - the Bible clearly says the serpent had a seed. The only blood that could mix with the human blood was the serpent BEFORE God cursed it. It was a beast very close to man. Its the missing link between man and the ape which science is looking for. but they wont find it because God broke every bone in it and completely changed it in judgement
I would want somebody to show me one place in the Bible where it says Cain was Adam's son! If he was his son, then where did the murderous spirit come from? I will show u where It says Cain was of the evil one: read 1 John 3:12

However this is one of the mysteries to be revealed in the last days and I wont expect everyone to agree with it but one day you shall know it was the truth.

Seriously, this story is all allegory. There was no literal tree or fruit, there is spiritual symbolism in this story, but no need going into it as christians can't handle it

Easy.

Why can't Christians handle it?

God knows best

gulfer: Why can't Christians and... handle it?

... Man will give their opinion but take heed, theirs is not Gods' opinion

gulfer: Why can't Christians handle it?

because christians,at least the very ignorant ones will accept that the Bible in itself cannot eplain itself optimally.you require other sources,principally an unbiased mind coupled with more knowledge of history and psychology to understand many of the Bible stories.Christians will insist that samson killed 5000 phillistines with the jawbone of an axe,they will insist that David single-handedly killed 10,000 phillistines.they's never accept these tales as been metaphoric.

Yes, exactly ... Let's put it that way.

If the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that adam and eve ate was "sex" then what is the tree of life?
The scripture said that God Commanded them to go and multiply. Abinito they had the sexual ability. that fruit is not sex. that's the devil delusion. the tree is a physical fruit. thats what the bible said. dont add or subtract

Actually the whole thing is confusing,initially I believe it was sex, but when I looked deep from the inside, I became confuse, now if I should say it is an apple, today we still have an apple, and moreover the bible does not make it clear to us, that it was an apple, neither does the bible tells us that it was a sex either ways I began to wonder why did God not make it clear to us, if that fruit was really a sex. At least I have seen many area where bible said, so and so knew his wife and she bear him a son or a dauther, so why did God not make it clear to us to understand if the sin they committed was actually a sex or not, so I will not be 100 percent sure to call it a sex or an apple.yes it is good to have a revelation, but how many of us will understand such a revelation, i pray that the almighty God will give us the understanding. Thanks

Well lets just say its a fruit... nobody know the actual fruit but it was use to test them.. to know if they are obedient.. maybe to test what he has created.. to see if the human he created are perfect..
Same test came to Christ Jesus... but he resisted.. well lets just say its the fruit of truth... beautiful and sweet...
