Genesis: 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 3:12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 3:13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
The above verse is King James translation which explaining the Adam falls into sins because a fruit.
But unfortunately, almost all Bible translation didn’t give the name of the fruit, I didn’t know why. So, when I ask to some peoples, they said it is better if to explain the fruit, we name it as apple or peach. Some said it is just to make it simple, and some said if some Bible translation perhaps also use that name to explain that fruit. In Bible, Adam eats the fruit because of his wife whose had been beguiled by the serpent, and they did eat. Later, because of they did eat the fruit, both of them falls to the sins and sent out from heaven into this world, and all of their descendents get falls into the sins even all of them didn’t eat the fruit like Adam and Eve.
That unbelievable sin makes a big question, even to the Bible followers itself. Some of my friends give me Luther remarks about that, but it was in my local language and I didn’t know how the real words in his language. So this translation is not 100% same with his words and this is just a free translation and forgive me if it is wrong. Luther said if Adam didn’t do any killing or adultery, even he didn’t robs or slander to the God, not even do any scary sins bigger than earth size, but he just eat a fruit after had been beguiled by Satan through a woman. Logic or normal brain asks, do we think that fruit so important even the world must be sacrificed to redeem Adam’s sins with so many peoples who’s wise, good personality, and even son of the God himself with all God’s messengers, holy man, and all preach must die to redeem Adam’s sin?
It is right what had said by Luther, the story about the fruit is so scary and creepy. Because Adam eats fruit, belongs to Christian teaching, all human being must be born with carrying Adam sin run in family heredity. The strange think is, because of that sin also son of the God must forming to be human and comes to the world to be sacrificed to redeem all human sins which begins from one think, Adam eats fruit. This condition forcing trinity concepts comes up in the Christian tradition, redeem of the sins, and forcing God to make a child, to make a son.
From these religion concepts, if we analyzed back to the beginning that we can say if from the first time Adam didn’t eat the fruit, God didn’t need to come to this world in the form of Jesus as the son of the God. So, Jesus didn’t to be hanging on the cross to be tortured and died to pay or to redeem Adam’s sin. Also those concepts want to tell us that live of the son of the God just as much as a fruit which had to be eaten by Adam. Even more, the consequences, if Jesus didn’t need comes to this world, Christian religion didn’t need to be exist. It is different if bible comes to correcting the human behavior; the Christian religion must be exists on that era.
So, from these few things, to be recognized or not, it was very clear that trinity concepts was not central or centering on Jesus, but base on the fails of Adam into the sin just because of a fruit. Then why God so late to producing a baby and at the same time send his baby to this world to take away all human sins, whereas the distance between Adam era and Jesus time is very far until thousands years. So, how about the sins of millions Adam descendants before Jesus time?
God must be unfair isn’t it!!
That is trinity concepts…………..!!
Why there are story about God have a child and sending that child to this world as human? Because Adam eats the fruit.
Why God must die on the cross in scary condition? Because Adam eats the fruit.
Why since the birth age all human get heredity sin? Because Adam eats the fruit.
So, why all Adam descendants who are never touch and eat the fruit suffered from Adam’s sin? Could some body help me to answering this? That all reason is unbelievable for me……………………….!@#$%^&*()
May be the problem is the believers who’s believe with the concepts are holding their logic by the “traditio declarativa” and “traditio constituva” characteristics inside the church institute. Those conditions make all the doctrines from the church even if illogical at all, still would be kept and believed as the truth. Perhaps just few of them still use the logic and make their own concepts, just like Luther, and the Unitarian community.
Furthermore, if God really have a child, the personality who’s more eligible to be the son of the God wasn’t Jesus, but Adam. If Jesus born from a virgin woman that mean he need a mother, but Adam with no father and mother at all, just with the order from the God and comes up as the first human. Also Adam’s wife, Eve, she is more reasonable than Jesus because she born with no mother and just from the rib of Adam with the command of the God. So, for a person whose believes Jesus as the son of the God, it is better to understanding this analyze.
About God have son, Allah said in Holy Koran:
قل إن كان للرحمن ولد فأنا أوّل العابدين
“Say (O Muhammad): ‘If the Beneficent One hath son, I am first among the worshippers’.”
(Surah 43/Ornaments of Gold: 81). Note: please check again the translation. May be I make a mistake. Thanks.
Afterwards, because of the God is the creator and the God is not a creation, the God wouldn’t make a baby or become a baby, and it is improper thought to think the God as a pathetic creation and think the God so unethical. So, because of that reality, Adam and Eve or even Jesus couldn’t be a son of the God isn’t? Also, the Jesus crucifixion can be analogized, when a toothache patient ask to the best doctor to be take cared and wish his toothache clear up, but the strange is the doctor didn’t pull out the patient teeth, but the doctor pull out his own teeth as apart of his own body and hope that the patient will be cured.
This is a glance of the fruit story which I hope it is easy to be understanding and took the means. Don’t forget to think positive and objective because all thought from any body about any think if analyzed with relax and high objectivity will fixing our mind pattern and our faith. Amiens. Thanks for your attention and I am waiting for the feedback or the reply.
