Subject: Things people THINK in the BIBLE but not |
Bible Note: I am sorry Angel, but you are very much misunderstanding what is being explained. The point of debate here is Ancient explaining where we get the modern story of Eve picking an "apple" from the tree of knowledge. I do not believe that in any way he advocates this scenario as "sexual conciousness," nor do I believe he is "simplifying" the sin of Adam and Eve and Satan. Again, he is relating the mythology of the "apple" (as in fruit of the apple tree) in the creation story, as opposed to some other type of fruit. For example, we do not hold to the idea that Eve picked a Coconut or a Watermelon from the tree, nor a peach nor a nectarine. For some reason, the popular idea places an "apple" in Eve's hand. It was Ancient's intention to offer an explanation of where that myth may come from, and not an attempt to advocate that the sin was "sexual conciousness" or any other effect of a sexual nature. I hope this helps you understand the debate. Please read the entire thread. Thank you! |
