MaxInDHouse:
All you need is the wisdom to discern what happened in the Bible book of Genesis chapter 1-4. Satan lied saying "you will not REALLY die" whereas Adam and Eve died without nothing surviving their death apart from their children,

I agree Max, "you need wisdom to discern what happened is written in the Bible", but I guess some people need to lie to themselves so they can continue to believe what they want to believe but they can't or should not expect everyone to believe their lies.

We read in the Holy Book of Truths that when Adam had lived one hundred thirty (130) years, which was after he was supposedly meant to have died in the Garden of Eden, he became the father of a son in his likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth. Thus all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred thirty (930) years; and he died". Gen 5:3&5

So effectively, at least 800 years after eating the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil which was supposed to kill him if he ate, Adam finally died. Isn't it sort of odd for you to claim the eating of the fruit at least 800 years ago killed him? I mean, does that not seem like a very ineffective poison to you or that at least the person who forbade them eating the fruit lied to Adam for some reason?

Instead we read that Adam's eyes opened and he saw that he was naked. And he and his wife stopped being slaves and got their own farm instead of working for the owner of the Garden of Eden whom some think is their God!

If we teach this to the Adams and Eves in the North of Nigeria would alimanjeri not be eliminated through education and they not be freed from the slavery they are kept under?

Is it not the truth that the entire teachings of Christ is "Eat fully of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil so thy days may be as long as Adam's?

In fact, can it not be said that for Christians at least, the closest we have to the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is the Word in the Holy Bible, which we are advised to imbibe daily so that we may acquire understanding and live?

Yeah, I know it's not what they teach you but I know some are capable of wisely discerning.

So. Did the so called serpent lie?

Isn't it sort of odd for you to claim the eating of the fruit at least 800 years ago killed him? I mean, does that not seem like a very ineffective poison to you or that at least the person who forbade them eating the fruit lied to Adam for some reason?

Adam was never meant to die at all if he never ate the fruit. In fact, we wouldn't even be counting the years he lived if he never disobeyed God's command.
God made it clear that in the day that Adam ate the fruit, he would die. From God's perspective, a thousand years is like a day.[Psalm 90:4, 2Peter 3:8] so since Adam died at 930-years, it meant that he didn't live up to a day(1,000years) in God's eyes.

So Jehovah[the name of the God of the Bible] never lied.(Titus 1:2)
Since Adam was genetically close to perfection, he was able to live that long but since then the life expectancy of humans has greatly reduced because of obvious reasons—but eventually he died and decomposed back to the dust of the earth, which Jehovah said would happen.(Genesis 2:17, 3:19)

Instead, we read that Adam's eyes opened and he saw that he was naked. And he and his wife stopped being slaves and got their own farm instead of working for the owner of the Garden of Eden whom some think is their God!
If we teach this to the Adams and Eves in the North of Nigeria would alimanjeri not be eliminated through education and be freed from the slavery they are kept under?

Yeah, I know it's not what they teach you but I know some are capable of wisely discerning. So, did the so called serpent lie?

The eyes of Adam and Eve were OPENED in that they became ashamed and were fully aware that they were sinners.(Genesis 3:7)

Maybe it's like you don't understand what actually transpired in Genesis chapters 2 and 3 so let me give you a brief rundown.
Jehovah provided the following for both Adam and Eve:
1. A beautiful home. Genesis 2:8
2. A marriage partner. Genesis 2:21-24
3. Nutritious food. Genesis 2:9,16
4. Satisfying work. Genesis 1:28, 2:15
5. Prospect of living forever. Genesis 2:17
ALL FREE!
And he was going to do more, if only Adam and Even closely followed God's program.
All of these were free provided they both obeyed a simple rule given to them to keep away from a tree that represented God's authority over them.(Genesis 2:17)

But then came along one of Jehovah's spirit sons/angel, though unnamed, later came to be addressed as Satan and Devil, acted on his own freewill and employed the use of a serpent and performed the work of a modern-day ventriloquist so he hid his true identity.
He came to Eve because he knew she was the youngest intelligent creature so she might be naive and curious. Then he sowed doubts in her mind by:
1. claiming that Jehovah was lying to Adam and Eve that they wouldn't die if they ate the fruit.
2. claiming that God wasn't completely honest with them and was withholding something good from them. Genesis 3:1-5

But ask yourself this question, in contrast with all Jehovah provided for them, what had Satan(using the serpent) given to them? Did he provide them with anything good? Food? A home? A marriage partner? Life?
As in why should we give attention to someone who has nothing worthwhile to offer?!!! Try and reason please.

Remember that Satan seduced Eve into thinking that she would become like God so that she wouldn't need anybody to tell her what was right or wrong! Genesis 3:5
By giving in to Satan's claims, she never became like God, instead she later died. She had served Satan's interests and had come under his rulership even though Satan deceived her into thinking that she was doing it for herself, but actually she became a SLAVE to Satan.(John 8:44, James 1:14-15)

Ever since then, the vast majority(99%) of mankind have come under the influence and authority of Satan in one way or another(1John 5:19)
Satan the Devil has been misleading the entire inhabited earth for more than six millennia but all we can see since then has been pain, suffering, war, crime, injustice and several other woes.(Revelation 12:9-12)
So now considering all of these, who was being honest between Jehovah and Satan?
Because Satan is the one who has all the governments and world powers of the earth at his beck and call(Matthew 4:8-10, Ephesians 6:12) and nothing good has come out of his rulership even with the advance of science and technology and with the different types of governments that have been experimented since then.
So who was actually lying in the Garden of Eden, budaatum?

DappaD:

Adam was never meant to die at all if he never ate the fruit.

Could you kindly explain to me how you happen to know this please?

DappaD:
The eyes of Adam and Eve were OPENED in that they became ashamed and were fully aware that they were sinners.(Genesis 3:7)

The text you reference states:

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

Do you think being able to see is a bad thing?

DappaD:
Maybe it's like you don't understand what actually transpired in Genesis chapters 2 and 3 so let me give you a brief rundown.
Jehovah provided the following for both Adam and Eve:
1. A beautiful home. Genesis 2:8
2. A marriage partner. Genesis 2:21-24
3. Nutritious food. Genesis 2:9,16
4. Satisfying work. Genesis 1:28, 2:15

ALL FREE!
And he was going to do more, if only Adam and Even closely followed God's program.
All of these were free provided they both obeyed a simple rule given to them to keep away from a tree that represented God's authority over them.(Genesis 2:17)

Do you know that some slaves refused to be freed from their chains?

Some will inform you that they would rather be free to work for their own food and home and wife than have a chain around their neck and be slaves for free food etc. We call it maturity when you stop relying on your parents.

DappaD:
But ask yourself this question, in contrast with all Jehovah provided for them, what had Satan(using the serpent) given to them? Did he provide them with anything good? Food? A home? A marriage partner? Life?

In exchange for perpetual naked slavery? May God forbid me bad things! Personally, rather than accepting fish I'd love to be taught to catch my own.

DappaD:
As in why should we give attention to someone who has nothing worthwhile to offer?!!! Try and reason please.

My freedom is very worthwhile, thank you very much.

You might as well ask why we teach you to read today's Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil instead of telling you what you should believe.

DappaD:
Remember that Satan seduced Eve into thinking that she would become like God so that she wouldn't need anybody to tell her what was right or wrong! Genesis 3:5

Please stop twisting what is written in the Holy Book! The serpent did not write the following:

"For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

The serpent offered the maturity to stop being told what was wrong or right and acquire the ability to discern good and evil for herself, which can only be done by acquiring the ability by imbibing the fruits of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

DappaD:
So who was actually lying in the Garden of Eden, budaatum?

I have full faith in your ability to answer your own question if you would just become as a child and free your mind from the nonsense it has been filled with.

Please go and chat with someone else i'm done with your type, thanks!

DappaD:


You're the one who claimed the serpent was right now I've asked you one simple question and you're gallivanting.

Its a question you can answer yourself if you but tried. Or did you not read in the Holy Book that Adam and Eve went on to live very long lives and have children long after they were supposed to have died?

MaxInDHouse:
Noted Ma, thanks!

This just reminded me of one sound advise Paul gave: “Be on guard that no one takes you captive by means of human philosophy and traditions that are contrary to God's word” ! Colossians 2:8//1Corinthians 3:19;1Timothy 4:7/6:20

Certainly budaatum here just wants to make a show of intelligence and critical thinking but just like all the founding fathers of philosophy—Plato, Socrates, etc, none of them could ever proffer any real solution to the problems humans were facing in their day. Sadly budaatum has taken after their footsteps.

Like I earlier said, we wouldn't even be counting years if they had not sinned in the first place.
Now I understand why 900+ years might seem to be a long time in human eyes but compared to other intelligent creatures before humans came on the scene, there has never been anything like counting of years of one's existence amongst God's spirit sons.

DappaD:

Please! Have you got any eyes apart from the human eyes in your head? Do you even know anything that happened 900+ years ago?

But let's go by your reckoning, shall we. You mentioned a thousand years was like a day in God's eyes. So, Adam lived 900 times 1000 years before he died, yet you want to claim the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil he ate when he was 120 (times 1000) years old killed him when it is clearly written that people die of ignorance.

Do tell, Is the knowledge of good and evil poison that kills? Can a person who eats of the fruits of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil still be ignorant?

:. . .You're the one who claimed the serpent was right now I've asked you one simple question and you're gallivanting.

The time left is shorter than ever DappaD, this is not the time to start chatting fruitlessly on some form of Critical thinking of no benefit, if anyone wants to chat on critical thinking let them go out there and fish for their type. Jesus sent us out to search for the lost sheep of the house of Israel not some prideful philosophers who have nothing to show as result for their so call "CRITICAL THINKING".

So far so good the GB of JWs claim they are God's representatives in out time, they have successfully gathered over 8,700,000 people from all races under the sun, they have produced zealous preachers and industrious teachers, they have removed weapons not just from their hands but uprooted the thought of weapons from their hearts, they have formed a global family of peace loving worshipers. Let those following Plato and Socrates present the result of their theory or better still critical thinking.

DappaD:


This just reminded me of one sound advise Paul gave: “Be on guard that no one takes you captive by means of human philosophy and traditions that are contrary to God's word” ! Colossians 2:8//1Corinthians 3:19;1Timothy 4:7/6:20

If only you really understood how much Plato and Socrates have influenced your thinking and the Bible itself. But unfortunately the enslaved will always believe they are free.

DappaD:
Adam was never meant to die at all if he never ate the fruit.

Adam actually was meant to die. If A&E weren't meant to die, then, the TKGE will have never been placed in an unmistakable, unavoidable and central place.

DappaD:
In fact, we wouldn't even be counting the years he lived if he never disobeyed God's command.
God made it clear that in the day that Adam ate the fruit, he would die.

"¹⁶And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden,
¹⁷but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil;
for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”"
- Genesis 2:16-17

From the moment we are born, our mortality (i.e. the state of being subject to death) clock, starts to tick down.

The Hebrew words, "muth, muth", used in Genesis 2:17 above, which often as equally seen above, is usually translated as "surely die" or literally, as "you will certainly die," if truth be told, in a Hebraic manner of speaking, the Hebrew words "muth, muth," correctly, indicates, a beginning of dying.

The Hebrew words, "muth, muth," in fact, not only conveys a meaning of beginning the point of death but also gives, a sense of entering into cessation of life (i.e. a sense of gradual or slow death starting), hence why and how, it is, we die by the second, we are in fact, slowly dying. It will interest you to know that, one million cells in your body, die every second. That means in one day, approximately 1.2 kg of cells in your body dies.

Let me shock you with something unusual you won't get to readily hear from the bullpiss pulpit. Forget Methuselah and 969 years. Why he had to live that long, is a story on itself, for another day and another topic heading, just know that, ideally, man really isn't meant to live past circa 30 years old. Yahshua Ha Mashiah, aka Jesus Christ, lived 33¹/₂ years, go figure

The thing is, it is not the the number of years we live that matters, but it is the number of lives, we impact with the number of years we've lived, that matters.

DappaD:
From God's perspective, a thousand years is like a day.[Psalm 90:4, 2Peter 3:8] so since Adam died at 930-years, it meant that he didn't live up to a day(1,000years) in God's eyes.

Kobojunkie:
So what you are essentially saying is that in the story, God lied when He told Adam that He would surely die in that day?

No, not exactly, since God never wrote the text I'm discussing here.

More accurate would be to say that what God is written to have said did not exactly happen but what the serpent is written to have said did.

budaatum:
I agree Max, "you need wisdom to discern what happened is written in the Bible", but I guess some people need to lie to themselves so they can continue to believe what they want to believe but they can't or should not expect everyone to believe their lies.

We read in the Holy Book of Truths that when Adam had lived one hundred thirty (130) years, which was after he was supposedly meant to have died in the Garden of Eden, he became the father of a son in his likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth. Thus all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred thirty (930) years; and he died". [url=https://classic.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Gen+5%3A3-5&version=KJV]Gen 5:3&5[/url]

So effectively, at least 800 years after eating the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil which was supposed to kill him if he ate, Adam finally died. Isn't it sort of odd for you to claim the eating of the fruit at least 800 years ago killed him? I mean, does that not seem like a very ineffective poison to you or that at least the person who forbade them eating the fruit lied to Adam for some reason?

Instead we read that Adam's eyes opened and he saw that he was naked. And he and his wife stopped being slaves and got their own farm instead of working for the owner of the Garden of Eden whom some think is their God!

If we teach this to the Adams and Eves in the North of Nigeria would alimanjeri not be eliminated through education and be freed from the slavery they are kept under?

Is it not the truth that the entire teachings of Christ is "Eat fully of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil so thy days may be as long as Adam's?

In fact, can it not be said that for Christians at least, the closest we have to the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is the Word in the Holy Bible, which we are advised to imbibe daily so that we may acquire understanding and live?

Yeah, I know it's not what they teach you but I know some are capable of wisely discerning. So, did the so called serpent lie?

You, budaatum, need to stop perverting the Scriptures. Leave them alone. They are not forcing you to read them. Budaatum, stop twisting the Word of YAHVEH ALMIGHTY. Na wa o. Aren't there other books out there that you could read and literally play with and leave the Word of life alone?

budaatum:

No, not exactly, since God never wrote the text I'm discussing here.

More accurate would be to say that what God is written to have said did not exactly happen but what the serpent is written to have said did.

God never wrote any of the other texts we discuss elsewhere either, so it does not matter that He did not write the text with His own hands for us to read.

Somehow I need to be certain that you understand that you are implying here that in at least this one case God failed to uphold His "Truthiness"?

budaatum:

Its a question you can answer yourself if you but tried. Or did you not read in the Holy Book that Adam and Eve went on to live very long lives and have children long after they were supposed to have died?

There is reason you skipped where he explained that one day in the sight of YAHVEH Almighty is one years for us humans.

No junkie. It is you who infers. And it does matter that He did not write it with his own hands since it is relevant to its understanding.

Something is clearly wrong if a loving Almighty God would rather keep Adam and Eve as ignorant naked slaves especially if that same God blessed them at creation and told them to “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth”, which I doubt they'd be able to do if they did not eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil to learn how it should be done.

But I did not skip it. See it dealt with below.

budaatum:

Please! Have you got any eyes apart from the human eyes in your head? Do you even know anything that happened 900+ years ago?

But let's go by your reckoning, shall we. You mentioned a thousand years was like a day in God's eyes. So, Adam lived 900 times 1000 years before he died, yet you want to claim the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil he ate when he was 120 (times 1000) years old killed him when it is clearly written that people die of ignorance.

Do tell, Is the knowledge of good and evil poison that kills? Can a person who eats of the fruits of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil still be ignorant?

You need to consider not ordering buda on what buda may or may not do.
