So many men, so many minds, and when we speak about
the Bible and the origin of life according to it, the situation is
undoubtedly
the same. Everybody has his or her opinion about the very Fall. To my
mind,
the Fall was nothing but the choice. Moreover, it was supposed that the
fruit
will be eaten. It was supposed to be the first and the most important
lesson
for all humanity, "He who makes no mistakes, makes nothing”. We now
live on
the Planet we still don’t know and understand completely, and all our
understanding and knowledge came exactly from our attempts, searchings
and
experiments. Adam and Eve were supposed to choose the wrong variant in
order
to give an incentive to further generations, to give birth to the human
race.
So, here things turn inside out – the wrong variant is the right one
indeed, the
sin is the achievement, the evil is the good and the fall is the rise.
That’s
how our World works – there is always something which is more than meets
the
eye!
Your thoughts sound so temptingly good and adequate! But they were all born out of ignorance and a lazy mind, simply based on stereotypical things and popular thinking. I don't want to shudder the site with my explanations, but all of the achievements of the civilizations have never been thanks to the First Sin. A thought or an opinion must be based on knowledge or facts. Personal interpretations based on attitudes and popular sterotypes should never blur human reason.
Why Adam and Eve didn’t think about what would happen after eating a forbidden fruit? Should we speak about their egoism here or not? What do you think?
I can't understand why the words 'choice' and 'supposed' are used here together. I guess they are mutually exclusive in this respect. If God was sure the first people would eat the apple, then there's no alternative for them. But if it were a, so to say, supraliminal act towards a definite goal, then it is a choice in its direct meaning.
Hmm--- like this idea - to turn everything upside down. Yes, sometimes (even very often) it happens just the same way - wrong decisions lead to profitable results and right (or those that were supposed to be right) lead to crash)) to look at the story of the first sin from this point of view is an untrivial and interesting thing to do
