ADAM AND EVE

122
Question.—What is the truth of the story of Adam, and His eating of the fruit of the tree?
Answer.—In the Bible it is written that God put Adam in the garden of Eden, to cultivate and take care of it, and said to Him: “Eat of every tree of the garden except the tree of good and evil, for if You eat of that, You will die.” 1 Then it is said that God caused Adam to sleep, and He took one of His ribs and created woman in order that she might be His companion. After that it is said the serpent induced the woman to eat of the tree, saying: “God has forbidden you to eat of the tree in order that your eyes may not be opened, and that you may not know good from evil.” 2 Then Eve ate from the tree and gave unto Adam, Who also ate; their eyes were opened, they found themselves naked, and they hid their bodies with leaves. In consequence of this act they received the reproaches of God. God said to Adam: “Hast Thou eaten of the forbidden tree?” Adam answered: “Eve tempted Me, and I did eat.” God then reproved Eve; Eve said: “The serpent tempted me, and I did eat.” For this the serpent was cursed, and enmity was put between the serpent and Eve, and between their descendants. And God said: “The man is become like unto Us, knowing good and evil, and perhaps He will eat of the tree of life and live forever.” So God guarded the tree of life. 3 123
If we take this story in its apparent meaning, according to the interpretation of the masses, it is indeed extraordinary. The intelligence cannot accept it, affirm it, or imagine it; for such arrangements, such details, such speeches and reproaches are far from being those of an intelligent man, how much less of the Divinity—that Divinity Who has organized this infinite universe in the most perfect form, and its innumerable inhabitants with absolute system, strength and perfection.
We must reflect a little: if the literal meaning of this story were attributed to a wise man, certainly all would logically deny that this arrangement, this invention, could have emanated from an intelligent being. Therefore, this story of Adam and Eve who ate from the tree, and their expulsion from Paradise, must be thought of simply as a symbol. It contains divine mysteries and universal meanings, and it is capable of marvelous explanations. Only those who are initiated into mysteries, and those who are near the Court of the All-Powerful, are aware of these secrets. Hence these verses of the Bible have numerous meanings.
We will explain one of them, and we will say: Adam signifies the heavenly spirit of Adam, and Eve His human soul. For in some passages in the Holy Books where women are mentioned, they represent the soul of man. The tree of good and evil signifies the human world; for the spiritual and divine world is purely good and absolutely luminous, but in the human world light and darkness, good and evil, exist as opposite conditions.
The meaning of the serpent is attachment to the human world. This attachment of the spirit to the human world led the soul and spirit of Adam from the world of freedom to the world of bondage and caused Him to turn from the Kingdom of Unity to the human world. When the soul and spirit of Adam entered the human world, He came out from the paradise of freedom and fell into the world of 124 bondage. From the height of purity and absolute goodness, He entered into the world of good and evil.
The tree of life is the highest degree of the world of existence: the position of the Word of God, and the supreme Manifestation. Therefore, that position has been preserved; and, at the appearance of the most noble supreme Manifestation, it became apparent and clear. For the position of Adam, with regard to the appearance and manifestation of the divine perfections, was in the embryonic condition; the position of Christ was the condition of maturity and the age of reason; and the rising of the Greatest Luminary 4 was the condition of the perfection of the essence and of the qualities. This is why in the supreme Paradise the tree of life is the expression for the center of absolutely pure sanctity—that is to say, of the divine supreme Manifestation. From the days of Adam until the days of Christ, They spoke little of eternal life and the heavenly universal perfections. This tree of life was the position of the Reality of Christ; through His manifestation it was planted and adorned with everlasting fruits.
Now consider how far this meaning conforms to the reality. For the spirit and the soul of Adam, when they were attached to the human world, passed from the world of freedom into the world of bondage, and His descendants continued in bondage. This attachment of the soul and spirit to the human world, which is sin, was inherited by the descendants of Adam, and is the serpent which is always in the midst of, and at enmity with, the spirits and the descendants of Adam. That enmity continues and endures. For attachment to the world has become the cause of the bondage of spirits, and this bondage is identical with sin, which has been transmitted from Adam to His posterity. It is because of this attachment that men 125 have been deprived of essential spirituality and exalted position.
When the sanctified breezes of Christ and the holy light of the Greatest Luminary 5 were spread abroad, the human realities—that is to say, those who turned toward the Word of God and received the profusion of His bounties—were saved from this attachment and sin, obtained everlasting life, were delivered from the chains of bondage, and attained to the world of liberty. They were freed from the vices of the human world, and were blessed by the virtues of the Kingdom. This is the meaning of the words of Christ, “I gave My blood for the life of the world” 6 —that is to say, I have chosen all these troubles, these sufferings, calamities, and even the greatest martyrdom, to attain this object, the remission of sins (that is, the detachment of spirits from the human world, and their attraction to the divine world) in order that souls may arise who will be the very essence of the guidance of mankind, and the manifestations of the perfections of the Supreme Kingdom.
Observe that if, according to the suppositions of the People of the Book, 7 the meaning were taken in its exoteric sense, it would be absolute injustice and complete predestination. If Adam sinned by going near the forbidden tree, what was the sin of the glorious Abraham, and what was the error of Moses the Interlocutor? What was the crime of Noah the Prophet? What was the transgression of Joseph the Truthful? What was the iniquity of the Prophets of God, and what was the trespass of John the Chaste? Would the justice of God have allowed these enlightened Manifestations, on account of the sin of Adam, to find torment in hell until Christ came and by the sacrifice of Himself saved them from excruciating tortures? Such an 126 idea is beyond every law and rule and cannot be accepted by any intelligent person.
No; it means what has already been said: Adam is the spirit of Adam, and Eve is His soul; the tree is the human world, and the serpent is that attachment to this world which constitutes sin, and which has infected the descendants of Adam. Christ by His holy breezes saved men from this attachment and freed them from this sin. The sin in Adam is relative to His position. Although from this attachment there proceed results, nevertheless, attachment to the earthly world, in relation to attachment to the spiritual world, is considered as a sin. The good deeds of the righteous are the sins of the Near Ones. This is established. So bodily power is not only defective in relation to spiritual power; it is weakness in comparison. In the same way, physical life, in comparison with eternal life in the Kingdom, is considered as death. So Christ called the physical life death, and said: “Let the dead bury their dead.” 8 Though those souls possessed physical life, yet in His eyes that life was death.
This is one of the meanings of the biblical story of Adam. Reflect until you discover the others.

What thou has written was perused. Thou hast written concerning the meeting of His Highness Christ after the crucifixion and that some of the apostles perceived Him but did not recognize Him; but that they did recognize Him after the breaking of bread.
Know thou that the Messianic Spirit and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is always manifest, but capacity and ability (to receive it) is more in some and less in others. After the crucifixion the apostles had not in the beginning the capacity and ability of witnessing the Messianic reality. For they were agitated. But when they found firmness and steadfastness their inner sight became opened, and they saw the reality of the Messiah as manifest. For the body of Christ was crucified and vanished, but the Spirit of Christ is always pouring upon the contingent world, 194 and is manifest before the insight of the people of assurance.

By the “three days” of His death is meant that after the great martyrdom, the penetration of the divine teachings and the spread of the spiritual law became relaxed on account of the crucifixion of Christ. For the disciples were somewhat troubled by the violence of divine tests. But when they became firm, that divine spirit resurrected and that body—which signifies the divine word—arose.

Judas Iscariot was one of the greatest disciples, was called unto Jesus; he thought that Jesus increased his kindness to Peter, the disciple, when saying to him: “Thou art Peter; upon thee I shall build my church.” This speech affecting Peter with special impression whereby envy was created in the heart of Judas and, therefore, he turned after advancing, denied after confessing, hated after loving, until he became the cause of the crucifixion of the Glorious Lord and Manifest Light. This is the end of envy which causes people to turn from the right path. Such has taken place and will occur in this Great Cause; but there is no harm in it, as it is the cause of manifesting the firmness of the rest and the arising of the firm souls who are as solid as the lofty mountains in the love of the Manifest Light.

Answer 2

This is hard. A lot could be said, but I will try a few...
The Fall of Man
Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden. They were given two commandments. Don't eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge and have children. They couldn't have children, but they had a nice time in the garden with all that God had created for them. Then one day Satan appeared to Eve and got her to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge. She ate it and gave it to Adam to eat. He also ate it. They were then kicked out of the garden where they had to live in a corrupted world. Here they fulfilled the second commandment to have kids.

Noah's Ark
Noah was a good man, a prophet of God. He preached repentance to a wicked generation of people. God finally had it with the people and told Noah He was going to flood the place and start over with Noah and his family. So Noah was instructed on building an Ark, or large boat, and he and his family got in it. They also took two of every animal. The floods came and killed everyone but Noah and his family. Finally the floods receded and Noah and his family started repopulated the planet.

The Ten Commandments
Moses and the Israelites are wandering in the wilderness trying to learn the things God wants them to learn. Because of the people's wickedness, God tells Moses to meet Him on top of a mountain. Moses goes up there and God writes ten commandments on tablets of stone. These were given as laws to the Israelites. Many laws were made in addition to this, but the Ten were the high laws. They are good laws to follow to have a stable society.

The Last Supper
Christ and his apostles meet for the passover. While eating of the passover feast, Christ blesses the food and as a symbol of His sacrifice, God tells the apostles that the bread represents Himself and the wine represents the blood He will shed on humanities behalf. He washes the apostles feet as a token of their righteousness and to show true humility. After the passover, they go to Gethsemane.

The Crucifixion
As stated above, after the passover, Christ and the apostles go to Gethsemane where Christ offers a prayer to the Father. He begins to suffer the atoning weight of all sins. Blood drops from every pore and He suffers to near death. Then, Christ is taken by the Romans. He is judged by the Jews and then delivered to the Romans. They decide to crucify Him. He is beaten and abused, mocked and humiliated, however, He knows this is all part of the plan. He then carries His cross to Golgotha where He is nailed to a cross and hung. He dies in this way, forgiving those that did these terrible deeds to Him.

The important thing to remember is that the Crucifixion was not the end, because He rose again! He is a living God and is still active today.
I would read the Bible stories, I have answered this question, but the Bible is far better at delivering these stories. Good luck.

Answer 4

The Fall of Man: God placed Adam and Eve in paradise. He said don't eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Satan told them they would be wise like God. They ate. They were thrown out of the paradise they had enjoyed.

Noah's Ark: It had never rained, water came up from the ground. God told Noah to build an ark and put animals in it to save them. Clean animals he had 7 pairs and unclean animals were 2 pairs. The heavens were opened and it rained 40 days and 40 nights. When Noah, his wife, sons and wives embarked after the ark sat on the ground, They were the only people left.

Ten Commandments: A basic part of the Law of Moses. They were commandments that taught respect for God and man and honor for all.

The last Supper: The Jews were having a feast. While at the feast, Jesus took the bread, and passed to each apostle. Later He took the wine and passed it to the apostles. Both times He told them this represented Him, first his body, then his blood. He would not take it again with them until He took it in His kingdom.

The Crucifixion: Jewish people did not want Jesus teaching His good news about God and Himself. They wanted Him out of their hair - so to speak. They had the Romans allow them to crucify Jesus on a cross.
