Why did God so hate heterosexuality that he threw Adam & Eve out of the Garden for committing a sexual act?

Question

Sometimes the biggest of all sins can be right in front of us and so obvious that we miss them.

And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where
art thou?

And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was
afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou
eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou
shouldest not eat?

And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me,
she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

Answer 1

Wow, what a humorless,bunch of concrete thinkers. I think they just did not get it.

But I find that religious fervor/lack of humor are often hand in hand.

Answer 2

First off, good for you, you know your Bible (the real one, not the KJV which any scholar will tell you is fake). The Hebrew and Aramaic text do state the "forbidden fruit" but it has been taken to literally by pseudo phony Christians who don't bother doing real research. You are quite correct that the act of sexuality was a part of the reason for the casting out of the two, but there was knowledge given by the serpent. The Apple is merely a metaphor for the knowledge of sexuality. Also, and this is important to note, there are many books in Hebrew and Aramaic that were written around the same period which take a different tack on what or rather how Adam and Eve really left. Add to this that realistically they are more than likely just a story to explain how man came to be, after all, if they were the first, we would all be born of incestuous coupling, hardly something God would condone.

Answer 3

He kicked them out because they did something which He said was forbidden. The TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL was the forbidden tree. Once the ate from it, they were no longer innocent like the animals. They now had knowledge of right and wrong, and they would forever be held responsible for their actions. This has nothing to do with sex, heterosexual or otherwise.

How could the fruit be a symbol for sex? God TOLD them "be fruitful and multiply." How could they do that without having sex? Sex is NOT a sin, and nothing in the Bible says that it is.

If God hated heterosexuality, he would never have made it the only way to reproduce. This is the most ridiculous question I have ever read.

Answer 4

God did not trow Adam out of the garden for commiting sex. Where does it say that? It says they ate of the forbidden fruit. They partook of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They were naked before they ate the fruit too, they just didn't know it before they were enlightened to know what good and evil was.
After they were ashamned since they were no longer innocent. it is like a baby. A baby is unaware of it's nakedness.

Answer 5

Sex had nothing to do with it. They were told not to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. What kind of tree or fruit that was is not known. The point is that they were told not to or suffer the consequences. They were given their free will to do as they pleased with that fruit but needed to know that God forbade the act. The serpent (Lucifer) beguiled Eve, convincing her that it was good to gain knowledge of good and evil so she ate. Then she gave Adam some of the fruit and he ate because if he had not, Eve would be expelled and he would be alone in the garden again. After they left the garden, then they "knew" each other and had children.
The fact of the matter was that God knew that they would eventually eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil because they could not multiply and replenish the earth until they did. As long as they were in the garden, living in an innocent and non-mortal state, they could not have children. They needed to fall out of their garden state of existence in order to obey the reproduction command. Thus, the two commands were mutually exclusive. They had to break one in order to obey the other. God knew that, thus the consequences of the one but their were no consequences on the other. He knew that they would eventuall have children because they would eventually eat of the fruit. It was planned that way.

Answer 6

God hated heterosexuality? This is why God's very first commandment to all of Creation is: "Be fruitful and multiply..."

This is why God Created them: "Male and female..."

God only 'hates' what goes against His mandates, THE SIN OF DISOBEDIENCE. Adam and Eve disobeyed God by partaking of the Fruit of the Forbidden Tree. How was this a "sexual act?"

If through some perverse theology you construe this as being a sexual act, then let me answer your question, by all means!

God's very first commandment is: "Be fruitful and multiply..." Now how does this "sexual act" that you think led to their exile from the Garden of Eden comply with God's Commandment? It doesn't, now does it? Be honest, at the very least, with yourself.

Answer 7

Well here's another question based on ignorance. He didn't throw them out for having sex, He threw them out for disobeyng His ONLY commanment, whch was not to eat the fruit of the tree that contained the knowledge of good and evil. He told them that they would die "spiritually" in that day. Since He is God (perfect in every way and cannot lie), He had to follow through with His promise. God always follows through with what He says, He is bound by His own word. Nice try, but once again another point shot down the drain do to ignorance of Gods word. If you are going to make such a comment, make sure it is based on the truth of what the Bible actually says.

By the way I read your addtional comment and Yes, Eve ate first and then gave Adam the fruit to eat. The serpent talked Eve into "eating" the fruit first, then she talked Adam into it. It IS NOT a metaphor.

Answer 8

Intelligence has escaped you again!This is a common occurrence for you. I can tell by the fact you post a question that has not a spec of accuracy in it.Do like many of these others said pick a bible up and actually read it after that if you don't understand then you can form an intelligent question till then maybe not so much typey type from you my friend.God still loves you he probably isn't happy with your analysis of His eviction policies,but he still loves you.

Answer 9

he didnt hate sexuallity read Genesis....SEX was the gift that he gave to MAN and WOMAN, for each others pleasure.he also Made marriage the first covanant between man and God. God provided all needs for man in the Garden of Eden, and asked ADAM first, then Eve not to eat of the tree of knowledge, or they would die.Because God gave man free will , he chose to disobey.hey did not die instantly...but contunied to live on earth,and populate the world, he had to now work and suffer, due to disobediance, but through Christ who died for our sins, was crucfied ,dead,reseructed,and who was victorious over death hell and the grave....we have that assurance of life as intended by god in The Garden of Eden...By the way you wont be juddged on what you do wrong... you will be judged on what you do for christ....and how you approach others in life,spreading the gospel {which means truth}

Answer 10

God didn't throw Adam and Eve out of the garden for a sex act, he threw them out for doing the one thing he said not to: eating the fruit of the tree of Knowledge. Check your sources.

Answer 11

I don't know where you are getting this nonsense, but read the command: Genesis 2: 9, 17 and then the braking of the command:Genesis 3: 6/ and then the result. Genesis 3: 14-24.
