@[josegee21:25176] This is pretty much my sentiment on the fruit part, except, I was pretty sure that Eve ate the fruit of The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. The thought was likely that they would become all-knowing, like God. With a false promise of being equal to God, they were not only tricked by Satan, but banished from the Garden so they would not have access the The Tree of Eternal Life. |

@[the:25174] Edge @[the:25174] Edge 16 years ago… What I find so beautiful about her faith is her acceptance. I was reading the book of Job. The Lord quite casually speaks to the angels about Job and his unwavering faith. A demon appeared before God. Lucifer pointed out that no man could remain righteous in the face of losing all they know. God permits Satan to test Job’s faith; to showcase the rock-solid rightness. Job loses everything, and yet he submits to his Father. The demon says that the addition of an affliction will surely push him over ‘the Edge’. Having lost everything and his health, Job prays and begs for answers. His friends, his family, those closest to him, demand that he repent. They say there’s no way he is without sin if he is being punished this way. Job dismisses every single attack made by the enemy. He returns ridicule with ridicule and points out the unbelievably small faith his closest are displaying. Again, turns to God and demanded answers for why he is being punished and forced to suffer. Satan bows out with his sack tucked between his legs and moves on to roam and devour the weakest of the earth. You don’t challenge God. Job was not devoured. The Lord restored Job. Judith was not devoured. When she excepted Christ, she had been restored. Her body may be temporally dead but her Spirit lives eternally. |
