ot punished for simply eating from the tree. They desired what Satan promised "your eyes will be open and you will be like ??? God..."
And the principle of inheritance of sin from Adam is key in Christianity because the principle works into both directions. The inverse is we inherit righteousness from Christ. It's a good thing.
Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge, yet did not use that knowledge to apologize to God./One out of 4 of them was a murderer./Herod died from parasites - he killed the babies in Bethlehem./Heaven- the problem is ironically resolved by knowledge./No matter how bad the crime, the punishment of brutal crucifixion would sufficiently cover it./Jesus said, "Unless you become like little children you can by no means enter the Kingdom of Heaven." He's not sending kids to hell.
try reading- the zen teachings of jesus by kenneth s. leong. this has helped me alot! i am not trying to convert you to God/Jesus, but maybe it might help you to understand how some modern Christians believe today. i don't fit nowhere, not with the hardcore christians thats for sure! hahaaa!
i am christian, but i don't fit into the typical stereotype of what is a christian. i don't take the bible literal. adam and eve ate from tree of knowledge, having eyes opened they gained consciousness, but it is the source of all suffering. emergence of intellect comes fear, shame, guilt. anxiety is the price we pay for the benefit of consciousness. this is what i believed happened.
I sense that you have some issues with God. You seem to see him as mean kid that likes to burn ants with a magnifing glass. It maybe be hard but, try to see God with a heart of love. Sometimes bad things happen and we don't know why. But without some kind of conflict, pain or sadness, will we ever know love, joy, happiness? We learn and grow. With life we must take the bad and the good.
But the relationship with God is like all relationships, it is difficult, you have doubt, fustration. When you become a Christian, you don't just flip a Jesus-loving switch. It takes time.
As we read in the Bible, there is hope, that God extends this love and relationship to all people and God wants to love.
Without that relationship, without that mutual love for each other, without God forgiving us of the things that we have done wrong, do we really know God and does God know us? If God doesn't know us, why would he let us live in his house, in heaven, for ever? We would then have to go somewhere else, to hell.
I'm going to focus on, if God loves us, why would we go to hell?
I base my faith on the belief that God loved me first, and he asks me to love him. He asks because he CAN'T force, he has given us a free-will and we can choose to love him and with his love we are given forgivenness of sin. But,one can choose not to love God and not to have a relationship with God.
Very coherent... As adults, humans all chose to make decisions for themselves, apart from God. That's the sin, not searching for knowledge. And a precondition for choosing God of our own wills, which brings perfect happiness in heaven, and only fails to do so on earth because our bodies are imperfect.
I think of the frog describing land to the fish in connection with Heaven. As for Hell, God is offering us food in a wasteland we've lost ourselves in.
I know, there are too many contradictions for me... two points from me here. 1. Sex is a sin, and yet, the bible tells its followers to procreate, in which sex is essential. (hehehe) 2. If every human on the planet came from Adam and Eve, wouldn't that mean we are all inbred and have had, or will have, an incestruous relationship? Incest is also a sin as far as I know... (I havn't actually read the bible or ever gone to church, I am not cath or a... thiest?
I can't really imagine what eternal happiness would be like. From suppositions I've heard from Christians I assume it's supposed to be a constant state of feeling loved by God and being with all your Christian friends and family. Personally I can't imagine being both happy about people in hell and being free of sinful feelings like hate and anger.
Not in the least, because I don't believe in him either. Also even if I did no amount of fear could make me love him, so I'd have no hope of salvation anyway.
She got banned primarily for making death threats. But I think it was all the pro-Nazi stuff that got her the really negative attention. It's a pity really; I was looking forward to what she was going to say to me.

I'm not, because I don't believe in it. But even if I did, I don't think fear alone is enough to make you love someone... even a god.
