[@MrGilfred]

There is no way of knowing just how old Adam and Eve were when they disobeyed God by eating of the forbidden fruit. I know it couldn't be no one hour later. Plus they couldn't have been only 9 hours old when they were told. In fact God taught Adam then Adam taught Eve. Adam had been naming animals before Eve was created. It no doubt took some time before God created Eve. Adam knew what death was because God had told him what death is. Along with the animals that died as well. Because animals never had the prospect of living forever, only man would have that opportunity. God's days are not 24 hour days like ours are. A thousand years is a day to god and a day for a thousand years. That is correct because God allowed Adam and Eve to live to close to one of his days 1,000 years so that man could see if he would be better off determining for himself what is good for him and bad for him. Even though Adam knew better, still Satan attacked Eve (lesser experienced) like he does with us through our children. Satan was very effective in deceiving Eve into eating of the forbidden fruit. If God were to bless man's efforts in trying to choose for themselves what is good for them and bad for them it wouldn't prove who's way of ruling is the best for man. Their job was simple, they had to become many and fill the earth. Along with spreading that paradise garden of Eden to cover the whole world. That is what they would've done had they remained obedient. God never intended for man to eat of the forbidden fruit. Because if he did then Satan wouldn't have gotten involved at all. Plus adding more punishment for doing what God intended wouldn't be right and God wouldn't do that.

[@MrGilfred]

The reply I needed to say that by saying that God intended for man to eat of the forbidden fruit you are blaming God for the evils in the world. Satan was the one that asked Eve is it so that God said that you are not to eat the fruit of the trees of the garden. She said the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat to satisfaction. But for the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden we must not eat of it or touch it because we shall surely die. Satan replied thou shalt not die. In that day your eyes are bound to be open and you are bound to be like God knowing both good and bad. Satan's lie was effective because it reached Eve where it would've reached a lot of us. Our desire to be like God. If Satan's lie were true man wouldn't need God to tell them what is good for them and what is bad for them. So Satan was challenging God's way of ruling. Saying man would be better off choosing for himself what is good for him and what is bad for him.

[@Rick_Alden]

Saul of Tarsus of the first century, himself a Rabbi taught at the feet of Gamaliel, had a complete other take on the events in the Garden of Eden. "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned." (Romans 5:12) That doesn't sound very positive to me.

Any Christian who considers themselves a real follower of God should probably take more from Jewish teachings considering that all of the first books of the bible were kept mostly the same or accurate in Hebrew. Translation to English, Latin, Greek or otherwise results in so much being lost in translation. They say that there are many levels to understanding the bible and even many well known translations feel very off to many who speak the language (which also has not changed much as far as we know).

[@PeaceIsYeshua]

I don't believe this rabbi know the truth. He said God created Adam, that is not true. God created man in their image ( representation, idol) male and female. No breath of life here. Lord God form Adam (man) from the dirt/clay and has the breath of life. If you know the Lord God you know he hates idol. It's written in the law: no idolatry, do not make any carved image from heaven, on earth, or below the earth. The rabbi also didn't get into eve ate the forbidden fruit and got pregnant. So the forbidden fruit isn't really a fruit. From my guess, that's probably Lucifer. Eve/hava had sex with Lucifer and got pregnant. Then hava/eve brought a forbidden fruit to Adam and he had sex, probably lilith. Eve/hava gave birth to cain and able. Put the two together and you get cannibal (cainnable). It's true hava/is the mother of all life, because she has the breath of life. So the man from genesis 1 mix with genesis 2, death mix with life. This is the world and it's system you're in. As for death, when the Lord God said if you eat it you shall die. He didn't mean you die in the flesh. It's your soul that died. Angels in human host body is being transmuted into a different source of energy for the locusts in the bottomless pit.

I have had a few "questions" before with the good Rabbi's teachings, but this time I feel he is demonstrating the theory that if one thinks too much on a subject one tends to get lost. I am not Jewish, and I suppose the "Hasidic" he mentioned regards a theory most haven't heard before; that Adam and Eve were in Heaven and came down to Eden? He then adds a long-winded conversation between Adam and Eve that is purely fictional and is complete supposition. I'm sure no one is interested in my personal interpretation of the story of Adam and Eve. But the question I would ask is - If after several thousand years we still cannot agree to what the first stories of the Torah mean, how can we preach what the will of God is?

[@imhotep8008]

What were missing is decency to be obedient. It was a direct commandment from God. Now if you want to interrupt something why not say that Adam knew that death followed eating of the tree but sacrificed his life for eve because he knew that she would die and didn't want to be without her.

I was always taught it was an explanation of how free will came about, and the ability to recognize and do sin. The problem with this is that they were given a choice, and they chose to eat, despite God's word.

[@jflaugher]

I have a question, Rabbi: I truly love your interpretation of the Garden of Eden story. I love the positive interpretation vs. the usual negative interpretation we hear from most circles. As I read the Genesis story with your interpretation in mind, the only word that troubles me - the only word that seems to not fit your interpretation - is when G_d says to Eve, "What did you do?" and Eve says, "The snake tricked me" (some translations say, "beguiled" and others say "deceived"). Is there a way to reconcile your positive interpretation (which I prefer) with Eve's use of the word, "tricked" "beguiled" or "deceived"?

[@ayubamuazu7488]

I think a positive interpretation will be the snake explained it to me or he gave me an expo

[@jflaugher]

@@ayubamuazu7488 right, but does that fit the Hebrew? Can the Hebrew word that's usually translated as "deceived" or "beguiled" go the other way towards the positive?

[@tsividia]

I love this so much. Here is my question: If Adam and Chava chose to go down to this lower world to fulfill their purpose. Why are we demanding that its enough already, that we want Moshiach Now? Doesn't H' know when what we are doing here in this lower world has been completed? Unless in the same way H' wanted us to not eat from the tree when H' really did but wanted it to be our choice, H' wants us to initiate out of this? Is the Rebbe telling us to demand Moshiach Now the Rebbe being tuned in to H's will and letting us know what H' wants from us? Is that still the directive of the moment? or is it to do another act of goodness and kindness? Or both?

God is pleased when we hear Him, and remember Him in our thoughts. A believer always carries the Lord in their hearts, but the chosen carry the thoughts of the Lord. We have free will, walk freely but be warned! The gate of Heaven is like finding the mountain in a thick forest. Feel rather than see 💙

This is the story of every marriage. When you are still at home with mom and dad, that is the Garden of Eden. When you leave your father and mother, there is toil, pain and hardship. G-d doesn’t promise marriage or life will be easy. But He will always be with us. Even in the lower worlds. Rabbi thank you for this teaching!

[@hilaryswan4323]

"On thy belly shalt thou go" . The serpent lost his legs. God didnt seem very pleased.

[@rubiks6]

The scripture does not say the serpent lost his legs. It merely said he would go on his belly. Many lizards with legs go on their bellies. I have a pet turtle with four legs that goes around on his belly. Do not add to scripture what is not there. This is an example for you to consider how you read scripture. Read carefully. God's Word is important.

Jewish Numerology Look up the meaning of 9 and then look at the meaning of 10 Rewatch the video to understand using the context of numerology

[@adsgsjjb5711]

9 When nine reveals what it conceals inside, there is fruitfulness, multiplication, and the building of the House. 10 Esehr [f.], ahsahrah [m.] Divine order, completed cycle, measure, or group (congregation) whether for good or evil, blessing or judgment. A tenth part represents the whole in a tithe. Thus, ten represents a complete congregation, body, or kingdom, whether good or evil.
