Eve

[syo]

Eve gave humanity the greatest gift, she ate the fruit. But people think that this is an evil action. Why? We turn against Eve, our mother of humanity, and we act awful.

How do you know that there was an eve?.

I believe the stories in the Bible.

We apparently don't think Eve is evil, since people are commonly called Eve.

I would like to think this as true.

In the bible story she was female, that was enough.

First, there was Lilith, a beautiful untamed, free woman and then Eve. We should be thankful to both women.

I knew someone named Eve in high school. She was indeed wicked.....but that's why everybody liked her.

OK that's true for millions but who wrote the stories,how do we see how true those stories are or is it taken on faith that the storyteller spoke the truth.

 

[Milton Platt]

Yep. But read what you wrote again....then think about it..or not. Your choice

The comment was meant for those with a sense of humor.

Where's Lilith? Verse?

Genesis 1:27 New King James Version (NKJV)
27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

The female it says isn't Eve. If it isn't lilith, then which female is it?

The stories were written by humans guided by God.

ahhh...
I just interpret that as different way of saying the same thing. In the other verse, it gives the name Eve.

A not unexpected answer but that's what you believe,so true enough for you but how can we confirm it was guided by a god?.

That's a tough question. I don't know, actually

I think the OT isn't exactly complete. I think there are narratives that are missing.

Could be, however, I don't assume there is a Lilith, there, just because of a legend.

I know so kudos for the honest answer.

Actually, it wasn't Eve but rather Adam... but why do you see it as a greatest gift?

As far as why was it evil, at least in the Christian perspective, it permitted the Satan to have authority on this earth.

True. But an untamed human is beneficial to the human psyche, so I like the legend of Lilith.

It is a great gift because it created the human brain complete. I mean, God showed to humans paradise. But there is also the other side of the coin, the mundane. Eve with the fruit gave a new perspective, it completed the picture of existence. It made people take action. If there wasn't the fruit there would be stagnation.

As far as why was it evil, at least in the Christian perspective, it permitted the Satan to have authority on this earth.

I don't like how christians view satan. I see satan as a servant of God. God put the snake in the garden. God wanted to see his favorite humans full potential. And also, he wanted humans to choose him and paradise, and not having humans kept in paradise like pets.
