People want to be their own gods. Is that good or evil?
The real Original Sin, then and today, to most Christians, is based on this quote.
“For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil" (Gen. 3:5).
Jesus seems to have wanted this to happen, as that would make us his brethren.
Here is the real way to salvation that Jesus taught and that
Gnostic Christians have embraced.
Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore
thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love
me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto
him, and make our abode with him.
Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did
predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the
firstborn among many brethren.
Allan Watts explain those quotes in detail.
If Jesus wants us to know of good and evil, as a
prerequisite to being born again as his brethren, it goes well with Jesus’
prediction as quoted above.
That may be why Christians sing that Adam’s sin was a happy
fault and necessary to god’s plan.
I am not a literal reader of this myth, but this seems to make sense.
It follows then that it makes sense for Adam to ignore Yahweh’s command not to
gain an education.
Thoughts?
