Was It An Apple or Sex?

Can we eat this and realise we
are naked? 

We have been made to believe that Adam and Eve ate an apple and that caused the fall of man. By the grace of God I will explain for you to see what actually happened in the Garden of Eden. In fact, it does not mention anywhere in the Bible that they ate an apple. If it was an apple, why don't we stop eating it? Who then started this lie which has no basis in the Bible?

Genesis 3

¹Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made.

And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

⁶And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

⁷And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

¹³And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

¹⁴And the LORD God said unto the serpent,...upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

¹⁵And 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.

¹⁶Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children;

²⁴So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

Genesis 4

¹And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.  ²And she again bare his brother Abel.

⁸And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

Please read the following notes and I believe God will help you to see the truth.

1. The Serpent was more subtile than any of the beasts
2. The Serpent was a HE and he could walk and talk
3. The Serpent was not like snake we know today but God changed it nature from that day through the curse  
4. The curses clearly indicate that what they did was not eating of an apple but rather something that has to do with nakedness and bringing forth children-sex
5. There is no fruit in the world, when eaten makes someone realise that he/she is naked
6. The Bible types tree to human (John 15, Psalms 1:3 etc)
7. If the tree of Life in the Garden was Jesus (Genesis 3:22, Revelation 2:7, 22:2, 22:14) so was the tree of knowledge of good and evil a person.
8. According to the curse, the serpent will have a seed (child- Cain also later Judas Iscariot) and Eve will also have a seed (child-Abel also refers to Jesus) and they will be enemies.
9. Cain and Abel were twins
10. The Bible never mentions Cain as one of the children of Adam- (Genesis 5, 1 Chronicles 1, Luke3:38)
11. Cain was the son of the devil (1John 3:12)
12. The first person to murder was Cain because he was from the devil but not Adam
13. Jesus said the devil was the murderer from the beginning, referring to Cain murdering Abel (John 8:44)
14. Cain's descendant (Lamech- Gensis 4:19) was the first to take two wives

Conclusion: the Serpent first had sex with Eve and concieved Cain and then Adam also had sex with Eve and Concieved Abel.

Jesus gave a parable to explain this.
Matt13
²⁴Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
 ²⁵But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
 ²⁶But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
 ²⁷So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
 ²⁸He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
 ²⁹But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
 ³⁰Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Were We Born Wrong?

Nicodemus, a Pharisee and a ruler of the Jews came to Jesus by night confessing that they know he was a Man sent by God. Jesus made it clear that knowing that He was sent by God is not enough but that

Except a man be born again, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Jesus went on to explain he that is born of the flesh is flesh and the Bible says flesh and blood cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. This is bacause the flesh is always in conflict with the Spirit. The works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit are listed in Galatians; sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. (Gal 5:16-25)

Why should we be born again?

THIS IS THE MOST INTERESTING BIT. We must be born again because we were born wrong. This is just like making the correction when we did some task wrong in school. Because we were born wrong, Romans 3:23 says ALL have sinned. In fact, if we want to know the perfect will of God, we must look at Jesus' example. When God decided to come to the earth: Immanuel-God with us, He bypassed the way you and I were born because it is wrong. He was born not by a product of a man and a woman meeting but by a virgin birth. That is why Jesus was sinless but all others have sinned. We therefore need to be born again.

We inherit our parents' DNA when we are born and that is why we look and behave like them- we desire to sin. But once we are born again, our nature becomes like that of God and we behave like Him and hate what He hates. We are no more slave to sin once we are born again.

John 4:24 says God is Spirit and they that are born again have the Spirit of God. They cannot please God that are of the flesh but as many that are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. (Romans 8)

Remember, all our woes started in the Garden of Eden.

Today, many will ask the same question as Nicodemus How Can I Be Born Again?

A Star Has To Die For Us To Live

The Earth is made up of 92 elements and so are human beings, according to science. This confirms what the Bible says that humans were made out of the Earth.

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. (Gen 3:19)

All life depends on Carbon. Humans need Carbon and Oxygen and we get this only when a star dies. Therefore, the dieing star gives life.

In the words of Professor James Van Der Pool, 'we are truly the children of the stars.' But I say, we are truely the children of the STAR.

As we all know, when Jesus was born, a star was born and astronomers of our day confirm that it actually happened. A bright star came on the scene around the time when Jesus was born. When this star (Jesus) died, according to the Bible, we received life. Just as a person dies when he can no longer breath oxygen, anyone who fails to receive that oxygen coming from the STAR which died on the cross of Calvary, will die. 

This is a majestic story.

What shall a man give in exchange for his soul? (Mark 8:37)

Something Has To Die

Something Has To Die For Something To Live

The natural always types the spiritual. That is the reason why Jesus used parables in explaining the kingdom of God. In the natural world, something has to die before something can live. Whatsoever any living thing eats, it must die first; be it grain, animal, fish or whatever it is. In other words, some living thing has do die for us to live. That is the law of nature so no one or nothing can escape that. If something has to die before we can live in the natural world, how much more will something not have to die before we can live eternally in the spirit. In much the same way, we must die to self in order to have an eternal life. Water baptism is a symbol of dieing with Christ and resurrecting with Him.

Christianity can be said to be the only true religion because it is the only religion that follows this law of nature.

God always demands a sacrifice. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they sewed a fig leaf to cover themeselves but God requires blood so He sacrificed an animal and made coats of skins and clothed them. (Genesis 3:7, 21)

In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. Heb 9:22

In Cain and Abel's sacrifice, God accepted that of Abel and rejected Cain's. Why? Abel had a revealtion of what God requires (an animal sacrifice) but Cain did not. It is NOT as some preachers say Cain brought rotten fruit unto the Lord. By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous, when God spoke well of his offerings. (Heb 11:4) He had a revelation of what God would do in the future.

This future plan was also revealed through Abraham when God asked him to sacrifice his only son. God showed how He will sacrifice the Lamb of God (Jesus) on the cross. The lamb sacrificed in Egypt saved  the Israelites. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)

The blood of Jesus shed for our sins is what gives us access to God. Without Jesus' sacrifice, we would be unable to have a relationship with Him. He said, if you do not eat my body and drink my blood, you are not part of me. His body symbolises the Word and His blood represents the Spirit.


Jesus is Lord.

God bless you.

SABBATH

Should we worship on Saturdays or Sundays? Is it really important on which day you worship? This has been a bone of contention for a long time. However, God has shown us the answers to these things as he promised He will do in Revelation 10:7. One of the 10 commandments says Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labour and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

The Bible itself explain these clearly. It even tells us the meaning of the Sabbath and what it is meant for Christians today.

Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest (Sabbath) still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith. Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said,

“So I declared on oath in my anger,

‘They shall never enter my rest.’”

And yet his work has been finished since the creation of the world. For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “And on the seventh day God rsted from all his work.” And again in the passage above he says, “They shall never enter my rest.”

Jesus sets us free from our own works

It still remains that some will enter that rest, and those who formerly had the gospel preached to them did not go in, because of their disobedience. Therefore God again set a certain day, calling it Today, when a long time later he spoke through David, as was said before:

“Today, if you hear his voice,

do not harden your hearts.”

For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience

(Hebrew 4:1-11)

Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. (Col 2:16-17)

Jesus said, Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. (Matt 11:28)

So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath. (Mark 2:28)

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

Jesus gives us rest from our works ( sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, etc).  I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5)
