Walking out of paradise
Ink and water color
God created all living creatures’ human beings on the sixth day of creation. “Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam…” (Genesis 5:2). “Adam” is a general term, like “Man” and could refer to the whole of humankind. God blessed them to be “fruitful and multiply” and ordained that they should have “dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth” (Gen. 1.26-27, KJV).[6]
And God Created Adam
William Blake
God first formed Adam out of “the dust of the ground” and then “breathed into his nostrils the breath of life”, causing him to “become a living soul” (Gen. 2. 7, KJV). God then placed Adam in the Garden of Eden, giving him the commandment that “Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 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” (Gen. 2.16-17, KJV).
God then noted that “It is not good that the man should be alone” (Gen. 2.18, KJV). He then brought every “beast of the field and every fowl of the air” (Gen. 2.19, KJV) before Adam and had Adam name all the animals. However, among all the animals, there was not found “a helper suitable for” Adam (Gen. 2.20, NASB), so God caused “a deep sleep to fall upon Adam” and took one of his ribs, and from that rib, formed a woman (Gen. 2.21-22), subsequently named Eve.[6] There is no mention of Adam waking up from his sleep.
Adam and Eve were subsequently expelled from the Garden of Eden, were ceremonially separated from God, and lost their immortality after they broke God’s law about not eating of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This occurred after the serpent (understood to be Satan in many Christian traditions) told Eve that eating of the tree would result not in death, but in Adam and Eve’s eyes being opened, resulting in them being “as gods, knowing good and evil” (Gen. 3.4-5). Convinced by the serpent’s argument, Eve eats of the tree and has Adam do likewise (Gen. 3.6).
As a result, both immediately become aware of the fact that they are naked, and thus cover themselves with garments made of fig leaves (Gen. 3.7). Then, finding God walking in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve hide themselves from God’s presence (Gen. 3.8). God calls to Adam “Where art thou?” (Gen. 3.9, KJV) and Adam responds “I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself” (Gen. 3.10, KJV). When God then asks Adam if he had eaten of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, Adam responds that his wife had told him to (Gen. 3.11-12). Herein is the second sin that Adam committed, the first being that he ate from the forbidden tree.
As a result of their breaking God’s law, the couple is removed from the garden (Gen. 3.23) (the Fall of Man) and both receive a curse. Adam’s curse is contained in Gen. 3.17-19: “Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field: In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return” (KJV).
After they were removed from the garden, Adam was forced to work hard for his food for the first time.

I just noticed the thorns on the path, having been thrown out of Eden. Good work,Marco, and so many have never read or heard the words on the side.

Parece que conocen la historia…
no les sorprende lo sorprendente.
Se aceptan relatos de misterios y símbolos…
tal que sí.
Y la mujer anda detrás del Hombre….sospechosa de envidiar el pene de la Vida.
Siendo ella misma la Vida…. la Madre del mismo Dios.
Por eso…tuvieron que encontrar el Dios humanizado..cómo en todas las religiones…mujeres vírgenes copulando milagrosamente con un Espíritu…
Eso del Paraíso….es una…. “putada”.
Pero tu “momento”me encanta.
La serpiente es cómo espermatozoide travestido de serpiente… con una cola larga y “loca”. Dios mismo contiene la locura en sus cabellos..no sabe si volver a re-nacer otra humanidad…o enfadarse todavía más (dió muestras, posteriormente de tener muy mala “uva”) y ellos…. benditos.. retozan en un abrazo pareciéndome dos perros “enganchados” a los que no se puede soltar hasta que la cópula se ha consumado y el miembro relajado. Por eso…. caminamos completamente neuróticos, por el mundo, porque no se nos ha permitido consumar el “Orgasmo Original”...y malas artes y malos corazones lo convirtieron en el “Pecado Original”.....Eso!!!
Rosa (que es de tu vida? me alegro de volver a ver tus creaciones…Marco…te echaba de menos!!)

Y la cópula, se convirtió en vergüenza cuando el semen se derramo solo por placer,
talvez el placer dio vergüenza, al suprimirse el amor…
quizás el amor perdió su calidez, al ser un frio sexo
…al tener un precio, al cambiase una manzana, por amor
tal vez, la vergüenza de la copula es solo un mito, un símbolo, una reflexión.
¿Acaso el sexo se convirtió en pecado al dejar de ser amor
acaso el amor, paso a ser sexo cuando nació el engaño
acaso el engaño se hiso sexo
acaso el sexo, se volvió un engaño?
No lose…nunca lo sabré
No sé lo que paso…
solo sé, que dicen que paso,
originalmente así…
como un pecado original.
Gracias siempre por estar presente Rosa.
Tenía yo mucho trabajo, mucha soledad…poca inspiración
había perdido Rosa, mi capacidad de soñar despierto…
pero, te cuento amiga Rosa, que hace algunos días atrás, de repente…
Como la brisa,
como un rayo,
como una bendición,
como asiendo alusión a su apellido “Cruz”, dios la mando, y sacudiendo mi alma, Liliana apareció.
Quiero retar a los gigantes del molino nuevamente Rosa, se lo comunicare a Sancho, en momento oportuno.
… creo Rosa, que otra vez me enamoré…
Yo, que ya no creía en el amor
mago
Thanks “The Healing Journey Group” for favorite this work, thanks Julie Marks
RosaCobos
Ella….Presencia. .
Nombre de “fotonovela”…nombre de flor cargada de pasión y de momentos.
Cuanto me alegro Marco!!!
Quien es Sancho…?
Tu alter ego… la voz de la carne razonada… atada a la materia.. atada a lo que es seguro..mientras la locura se abre camino, y se ríe de pecados originlaes, paraísos pedidos, serpientes confidentes o alcahuetas, dioses cabreados, amenazantes, procuradores de una mente humana eternamente infantil, subdesarrollada….
Yo sabía que estabas lejos. estando cerca…
hoy es el día de las paradojas.
Muchas personas me han comentado paradojas… perplejidades… y me alegro. Lo seguro es irreal… cómo vida de plástico.
Y todos… reviviremos y la pasión a través de espejos… algo queda siempre que se retuerce cómo un papel de seda en una llama.
Cuando alguien se enamora… me enamoro un poquito….
Gracias.
Rosa

If Adam and Eve had not partaken of the fruit, they would have had no children. The commandment to “be fruitful and multiply” brought about the tension and confusion that allowed the serpent to enter and speak with Eve. Having partaken of the fruit there would not be enough room in Eden for the countless generations who would not have died. They were innocent and unknowing in the Garden, then their eyes were opened. due to their disobedience, giving them the choice to choose good or evil. They were like little children spiritually in the Garden. Note that God says the ground would be cursed for Adam. That is, for his benefit. Work is part of being human. A nd a woman dies a hundred deaths when she gives birth- every concern about her child is a another death.
Once outside the Garden, Adam and Eve sought God’s teachings, but His pure teachings were mixed with the teachings of man. They longed to return to their Father’s side, but God didn’t come to teach them because God can’t tolerate sin. Coming as a Man, Christ could make the payment for us all, but our Father and Christ’s, the same Father God, expects what any good parent expects of us: to follow His teaching; His rules, and to care for our fellow man. So if Adam and Eve had not partaken of the fruit, the whole Plan of Salvation would have been ruined before it began.
We have a representative of Christ today on the Earth. It’s comforting to know we haven’t been forgotten and left to bumble around the Earth on our own. All that I’ve said here is the truth, and I have told it to you in the name of my Savior, Jesus Christ.
