>>23828392That's why I'm asking you what I should think about it
>>23828392you are on 4chan dude
>>23828385You think that it aged poorly and has worse gameplay than the New Testament.
>Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this You know I want to, but I'm in too deep
You thought the following:When one describes the "fruit" of something, they indicate the product of that thing - such as the "fruit of your labor". Given this, the "fruit" of the Tree of Knowledge of Good And Evil, indicates some product or outcome that comes from having knowledge of good and evil. What is that product/outcome? The ability to make moral judgements of one's own. If one knows what is good and what is evil, they are then able to categorize acts according to which of these it matches with. Prior to eating of the fruit, man lived in innocent and humble deference to God's judgement - but after eating of the fruit. man began to make his own judgement about right and wrong. Being imperfect, their judgement was imperfect, resulting in a warped morality. He immediately gained shame and fear, and was expelled from paradise lest he eat of the Tree of Life and live forever under his unbearable burden. What followed was a gradual descent into such depravity that God deemed it necessary to flood the Earth, killing nearly everyone. The key takeaway here is that the Bible is retarded and man's fear and shame preceded his ability to make moral judgements, as many lesser animals have fear and shame as well without even possessing a concept of good or evil.
>>23829459oh now that's interesting
I just read Think. What did I genesis about it?
>>23828385Mankind is put to sleep as Adam and only awaken when Christ rises within.

>>23828385you thought: "Im hungry. but I need to take a shit... hmmmmmmmm I think Ill try eating while taking a shit for the first time. Ive drank while pissing before, back in high school when I had my first Bud Light. I remember how euphoric I felt in that moment. It was like a Joseph Conradian "duality of man" situation, where one side of mans styngian soul thirsts, another replenishes in that same moment."All prior boundaries broken, every line in the sand crossed. Hanging between the profound and the profane. All that was once known as lies, were truth in the end. All limits, held in orthodoxy, cast aside in one hedonistic act."You then microwaved some Cup Noodles and sat down on the toilet, besides your socks, being already naked in your squalid bachelor pad. You attempted to eat while squeezing out a fat one but simply farted
>>23828385As a believer I find it most fascinating.John's Gospel has a particular beauty to it, but there's something special about the pure and unique experiences of God. The garden and the walks with God. The desert and discovery/revelation of the One God. The mysterious visitors, the angels, visions and dreams. Terror and wonder. Now we have complex theology, Church's structure and large communities, so raw experiences of Old Testament, and Genesis in particular, are incredible.Imagine the situation of Abram realizing the truth of the One God among the pagan falsehoods.
>>23828385That it starts very interestingly and quickly becomes exceedingly dull Jewish history that accidentally portrays jews and their interpretation of God as fundamentally unlikeable and impossible to get along with. A microcosm of the entire OTIt left you wondering how you could possibly reconcile it with the far better and more truthful NT, which can often be remarkable in its insight on God.
>>23829782>Ive drank while pissing before, back in high school when I had my first Bud Light. I remember how euphoric I felt in that moment.This is like how it feels good to be balls deep in a woman while her husband fucks you in the ass
>>23829459>apply metaphorical symbology to book>"this book is retarded because it's not literally true"Huh?
