Eating from the tree literal?
The persons in the new testament accepted Genesis as a literal story. Never when it is quoted it is mentioned that the story is symbolic. And never is mentioned that Satan had sex with eve. The new testament would surely have mentioned it. Why? Because the Bible exposes sin, and not hide it. It has hidden wisdom for sure 1 Cor 2:7, Col 2:3 but that is about the good news, and not about how sin came into the world
This are the Bible verses (in KJV):
Gen 2:16,17 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, 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 3:1-7 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food,and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons
Gen 3:14-16 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
2 Cor11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
1 Tim 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
Rom 5:14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
Rev 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God
Rev 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
Condemning Satan
Genesis 3: 15 God is condemning Satan. God does not use symbolic talk when h is condemning anybody. n Genesis 3” 15 God talks about Satan’s seed, and the seed of Jesus. Satan is an angel. Angels do not have seed. Think about this…to have seed Satan would have had to be human, or animal. God told the angels to serve man. They refused.
That is not true. It's a condemning prophecy that can have symbolic talk like
boiling pot Jer 1:13,14 and a
rod Isaiah 14:28-30 The fallen angels are cast down because of this:
Jes 14:12-14 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
And this is a picture of the seed of Satan and the Seed of the woman.
Rev 12:1-11And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
It is about Satan (in his followers) will destroy Jesus. Because Satan himself did not take the hammer, to say so, but for sure his followers did.
Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
And Jesus did destroy Satan by dying on the cross.
Joh 19:28-30 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
1 Cor 15:21-22For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
Sex between Eve and fallen angel?
God will always force his will on those who refuse, and punish at the same time. God cast those angels who revolted down to earth in a form lower than man, and above the animals. Angels in this form had seed that could mix with human. God warned Adam not to take of that tree (The animal tree), but only of the human tree. Satan had sex with Eve to destroy the Human relationship with God, so the angels would not have to serve man…
Satan had no sex with Eve. Nor had his seed sex with Eve. But there is a verse that explains that fallen angels had sex, or came in unto the woman.
Gen 6:4 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The sons of God are in the old testament angels/fallen angels Job1:6
As I said in the bible is no sex between Eve and Satan. But the the seed of Satan for sure has tried to destroy human race, and the birth and life of Jesus. So we see every time that Satan tries to destroy Eve's seed by dragging them into sin, and by trying to destroy salvation in Jesus, Seed of Eve.
Symbols
We all have a family tree. We a have a racial tree. We are part of the human family tree.
Animals are of the animal tree.
Trees are used throughout the scriptures in only a symbolic way.
The tree in the Garden was only symbolic.
The tree is literal and symbolic. So is the Last Supper. We eat literal wine and bread, but symbolic His flesh and blood. Adam and Eve eat literal from the tree, but symbolic it is eating knowledge.
Not all trees are symbolic in the Bible. Gen. 18:4 2 Kings 16:4 But a lot of trees mentioned in the Bible have indeed a symbolic meaning. The symbols of the tree are: knowledge, life, person bearing fruit or not, and kingdoms and kings.
