Judaism ForumWHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL SIN? ANYONE? TRY THIS!No worries mate! The issue is an important one, as this Eden story sets the stage for the rest of the Bible. Eden is a story of beginnings and the proper understanding of this text influences how we interpret the rest of scripture. If the simple capitulation to God's requirements is the point of this narrative, we might as well all become Jews, or a Muslim, or whatever flavor of religious bondage you want to subscribe to. God wants us to know Him - mercy supercedes sacrifice. Christ set us free from the slavery to sin and shame, so we could get back up on our spiritual horse and seek his face again. Despite our weakness, despite our habitual sin, and through knowing him, we are empowered to obey. |
