Garden of Eden

There was no real curse involved; this is only a misinterpretation.

When the bible speaks of partaking of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil you are reading what is called a metaphor. Knowledge of good and evil is a metaphoric reference to judgment. When you judge something you attempt to determine if it is acceptable or not. In effect you are deciding if it is good or evil from your point of view.

Once we were just like the animals and recognized that everything in the garden that God had given us was good. At some point we started to judge some thing as being better than others are. This set up a situation where something’s were more appealing to us than others. We started wishing for these things and were no longer happy with some of the other things in the garden.

This is what is referred to as the fall of man, or separation from God. Some references actually call this the detour into insanity. This self-induced separation from the knowledge of the perfection of god’s gifts to us was never shared by the animals. They were too smart to fall for this silly idea and were not fooled by the ideas of good and evil. For this reason they exist along side of us still experiencing the perfection of the garden. While we have excluded ourselves with our ideas of judgment. This is a truly fascinating subject that has many interesting facets. Including how to reverse the process and return to the original state. If you feel the need to discuss it further send an email.

Love and blessings.

Before he ate the apple, he didn't see Eve as being naked therefor they would of probably only had sex for procreation because seeing her naked all the time would not have aroused him, he would only become aroused a certain time a month when eve was putting off a high level of pheromones.

After he ate the apple, he realized that eve was naked and got all hot, so GOD told Eve and Adam to go put some leaves on. From that point on all Adam had to do was see a little titty and he got all excited and from that point on Adam and Eve and all their children and grandchildren and so on started to have sex for pleasure which is a sin. God seeing this figured I got to throw some kind of curse on this guy...EVE...MAKE EM PAY

First off,it was the fruit of Knowledge of Good and Evil.Before they ate it they did not know anything but obeying God,after they ate they had Knowledge of Good and Evil and they could choose to be blessed or cursed.God did not want that for his creation he wanted to keep blessing them and taking care of them with a relationship,and that is why he did not want them to eat of the fruit.It is not because he preordained things as people say.
He knew that he had cast Satan to the earth and outside the Garden was where Satan's realm was.Satan is the prince of the air.
Adam disobeyed God and that's why the curse came on him.He should had said NO to Eve.

The result of biting the fruit was not the curse. It said their eyes began to be open and they realize that they were naked.

The curse is Adam, Eve started growing old (they started the origin of sin)and they were kicked out of the GARDEN and their lives became miserable.

He had to earn the living while Eve was pregnant.
In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground that you came from.
For dust you are and to dust you will return.
Look at the horrible jobs men have had to do.
From coal mines to chicken houses to cleaning out cow barns.
Cattle drives to building sky scrapers.
There jobs havent been easy.

Adam did not eat an Apple, Adam ate from a tree, but we don't know what he ate,

And he was not cursed he was only sent away from Heaven.

First of all, Man's attempt to nursery-rhymn the Bible is where we get the idea that Adam ate from an Apple tree. Read Genesis yourself - any translation - and you will find no reference to Adam eating an apple as the actual "fruit" he consumed. Genesis 2: 8-9: 8 Now the LORD God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. 9 And the LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. And then in Genesis 2: 15-17: 15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."

Here is what God says to Adam after God learns of Adam's disobedience by eating from the wrong tree:
Genesis 3:17-19 (New International Version)

17 To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat of it,' "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. 18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. 19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return."

So, read now Genesis 3:22: 22 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, Adam's true curse was not being allowed to eat from the tree of life and, thus, live forever. Instead he would now face death and would have to work hard for everything he would ever have while alive - including food which, up until that time, was plentiful and free for his choosing without having to work any harder than pulling it from the tree. ((Note here also that God says Man will now eat from the ground and the plants therein suggesting that perhaps "tree food" was better and more life sustaining than "plant food"))
Today we have absolutely no idea what a sweet life we would have if all we had to do was go outside and pull our food freely from many varieties of trees. Unfortunately food-bearing trees are in short supply around the world. Wonder why? Plants, however, abound everywhere and "vegetables" are Man's mainstay food group still today. Interestingly, we still do exactly as God said we would when He cursed Adam - we work ourselves literally to death just providing for ourselves. Another interesting point here is that God states that the ground - previously free of anything but good - will now produce thorns and thistles for Adam - or Man. Think about how many problems thorns and thistles represent for the average man today. Do you own a home? A yard? Do you not toil endlessly over that yard keeping the thorns and thistles out? We run to the beach and, Oouch! Right there in the sand, for no apparent reason and/or purpose, is a sticker plant/bush. Walk through a country pasture. From a distance it looks calm, peaceful and serene. Once in the thick of it, however, you will come across some serieous plants like Bull Netle, Posion Ivy, Poison Oak, Brambleweeds and many, many more.
Ever since Adam ate the forbidden fruit Man has had to endure incredible hardships and countless antagonisms just to get by. We work so hard that we die long before our allotted 120 years is finished. Adam seriously messed up by not obeying God. We "Adam's" of the world are still messing up - just like Adam did - We (men) do not obey God, We rush for that which We are told We cannot have, and it doesn't take much persuasion from a female to turn a mans head still today. Have we learned? No, we continue to operate within Adam's original sin...which was not obeying God - our Creator.

They brought sin into the world-which introduced "death". Everything has gone downhill since.
