Exegesis of Genesis 1-4 for anyone willing to take the red pill.
It was noted in the other thread that if a person was willing to follow the exegetical logic above, it's akin to taking the red pill rather than the blue, since serious exegesis creates a path back into the garden of Eden where a whole other matrix concerning the most accurate meaning of the story lies somewhat undisturbed to this day.
The story of Genesis is one about sin and disobedience!
1 John 3:10 This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.
1 John 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
1 John 5:2 This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands.
1 John 5:3 In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome,
22 And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.
"Jesus IS the life come down from heaven"!
32 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”
35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
.Ok.
For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.Do we learn what love is and then know God once we know love, or do we learn what God is and thus know what love is?
Romans 3:23.
And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
Mark 14:72.

Why do you suppose that Yahweh Elohim suddenly ---right after man has eaten from the tree of knowledge ----fears that he might now take from the tree of life and live forever? It's almost as though Yahweh Elohim knows that the knowledge gained from the tree of knowledge is a prerequisite for eating from the tree of life? He doesn't fear the man taking from the tree of life until he's eaten from the tree of knowledge.
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.Is Jesus being presented as the tree of life? If so, why does Yahweh Elohim not fear Adam eating Jesus (John 6:53) until after he's eaten from the tree of knowledge? It's almost as if Jesus can't come unless and until Adam and Eve eat from the tree of knowledge. It's as though the tree of knowledge opens the eyes of the blind and innocent man to see the tree of life that was always there for the taking, but is invisible to the innocent, the sinless, and the righteous.
Genesis 2:16–17.
Jesus saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.Why does Yahweh Elohim fear Adam gaining everlasting life? Isn't that what Jesus, the tree of life, offers up freely? It's as though Yahweh Elohim wants Adam and Eve to remain innocent, blind, sinless, so that they never know true love, the true God, the living God?
Mark 2:17.

You forget Adam could eat all he wanted everyday from the Tree Of Life it was only from the Tree of Knowledge he was not to eat from!
I was IMMERSED into the Body of Jesus by my baptism and I remain In Jesus by eating the Eternal Life he offers!
53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.
56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them.
Again... "I remain in Jesus by consuming his living flesh"!
I am Christian.... Christians believe the scriptures!
Paul is also Christian..
1 Cor 11:27 So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.
John D. Brey You cannot sin against a Symbol! Fact is... The root word for Communion is Communication BEING....
John D. Brey being in Communion with symbols is called Idolatry! You cannot sin against a Symbol!
1 Cor 11:19 For whoever eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks his own damnation, not discerning the Lord’s body.
John D. Brey At the last supper Judas ate the bread then Satan entered him! .... eats and drinks his own damnation, not discerning the Lord’s body.
I would say the communion service is symbolic. The bread and wine are symbolic. And that all who believe the bread is transmuted, or turned into the actual body of Christ, and the wine into his blood, are swallowing an idol, and might thereafter be possessed by the same devil as Judas was possessed by when he also swallowed the bread under false pretenses.
If the bread and wine were truly transmuted into the flesh and blood of Christ, then a person would only need to attend the service once. All other times they would be crucifying the Lord again, and again, and subjecting him again, and again, to open shame. They're rejecting the singular power of his flesh and blood, which only need be consumed one time.
The communion service is done in remembrance, a symbolic remembrance, of what we do just one time: consume the flesh and blood of Christ.

DOING RIGHT is to be Righteous!
.There's a tradition in Judaism that says the tree of life and the tree of knowledge grow from the same root. The tree of knowledge is the outer foliage where the fruit of knowledge hangs and where the serpent dwells. It's only by taking the fruit from the tree of knowledge that you could peer deeper into the mystery of the tree of life hidden beneath.
I think this is why it's only after Adam and Eve take from the tree of knowledge that there is a fear that they will eat from the tree of life and live forever.
Jesus is clear that you only need to eat from the tree of life once and you will never die. So if the tree of life in Eden represents the same tree of life that is Jesus of Nazareth, then Genesis 3:22 is not implying that Adam and Eve will have constant access to the tree of life. Yahweh Elohim appears to be worried that they will see it beneath the tree of knowledge, eat, and now, not only will Adam and Eve be like the Elohim (plural) who know good and evil, but they will possess the same eternal life as the angels.

The communion service is done in remembrance, a symbolic remembrance, of what we do just one time: consume the flesh and blood of Christ. Vampires and cannibals return over and over to get another bite. In this sense, transubstantiation might be thought by some to transmute the Vatican into Transylvania.
