Eve

[lftc]

Allow me to wonder at Eve.  Humor me by putting aside your worries about everything that permeates these forums.

[redacted]

Since I see that the views of this keep going up, I will explain why the body of the article has been redacted.  This is intended for the readers who are wondering what happened.

Most of what I have posted in other topics is of an analytical nature.  But I noticed that other people seemed to enjoy things that not related to deep analysis.

SO I posted a piece exploring what could have been the things that Eve felt as she went through the events as described in Genesis.  Being a person very deeply concerned with the accuracy of scripture, what was posted was very careful to stay within the realm of what could have happened in light of the exact nature of what was recorded.  I knew that the Heresy Hunters prowl these forums seeking those whom they may disrespect, so I added that line at the top of this about putting aside your worries.  No luck.

As you can see in the replies below, the negative comments began to arrive.  On these forums, you expect those as some people generally read things looking for what they don't like and looking for the opportunity to correct.

I started by trying to point out the discrepancies in their criticisms.  But that did not feel right to me, I don't like trying to use someone's own words to show where they contradict themselves in the same post.  And especially in a post that was not intended as exegesis but rather as an expolration of what it may have been like to live through those events.  But at the same time, it was offensive to have these completely incorrect and absurd statements disrespecting the story.  Seeing no way to gracefully address the issue, I pulled the story.  The direction headed was not useful except to illustrate the environment in these forums.

Well... I don't know how to feel about this post. I'd hate to be psychological about this, but is this some form of projection? It just seems to me as if this is less about Eve and more perhaps about the author of it. 

Me, I try not to go beyond what's known. Why do people do anything they do? Heck, why do I do anything I do? Eve's thoughts or feelings were her own, and whatever they were, I don't know.

Thanks for not going beyond what is known.

Oof. Alright, yeah, point taken. Fair enough.

Sorry, but this depth of speculation, particularly with God being so harsh, and the degree of misery, makes me uncomfortable. 

Even in His anger God is Love.

I am sorry to have made you uncomfortable.  Definitely not my goal.  But then again, the non-speculative story of God killing everyone on earth makes me uncomfortable. But I don't say that to say you should be comfortable with this speculative story here.  It is not exegesis.  It is more like modern historical fiction.  Just a imagining of what Eve went through, an attempt to relate to her experience. 

Be blessed sister.

I have always felt, with nothing to back this up, that God didn't just throw them out of the garden and leave them to it, with no skills or food or protection from wild animals etc.

I agree, that would be unlike what I know of his nature.

No problem.  We all speculate.

She and Adam enjoy the life we all wish we had, perfect Love, delightful days, physically walking with God everyday.

Please don't include me in your all, ...I'm a born again child of God, ...every day I walk in perfect Love, every day is delightful, and not only am I walking physically with God ...but spiritually too, ...just like Adam and Eve, ...but even more than them, ...the Holy Spirit is dwelling inside of me, I have relinquished all authority in and for my life to Him, He now lives His life through me, ...the only difference between myself and Adam and Eve is I walk with God in a sin cursed world, when this dying, sin infested world touches my Adamic carnal nature, in whatever form it might take, ...Abba, ...Father, ...is right there with me providing the remedy, ...whether it is prolonging my days that have been written in His book Psa 139:16 or my days have come to an end and I'm called home.

Dear sister, we do have something to back it up, ...God's Word, ...Adam was the most intelligent man that has ever lived, ...he named the many 1,000s upon 1,000s of animals, insects, birds, he knew how to make bread, he knew how to build a fire to bake his bread, he knew how to grow his own food (he taught Cain), he knew how to keep livestock (he taught Abel), ...and most important, he knew and taught us that there must be a sacrifice in worshiping God.

Lord bless
