You said : And it’s not Lucifer, he’s the serpent called the devil and Satan. True but only after God pronounced His curse upon him.
Eve was cursed with labor pains and put under her husband meaning that Adam would ruled over her.
Adam was cursed for listening to his wife. He had to toil and thorn and thistle would plague him. And by his transgression the world would be under original sin.

Then you said: Adam was not deceived but the woman being deceived was in the transgression So Adam wasn't in transgression?
Is something that is Spiritual something that is real? I don't think you know the meaning of the word Spiritual.

And don't take the word tree literally. The tree indicates lineage...like your family tree.

So the tree is spiritual, the fruit is spiritual, eating of the fruit is spiritual, etc...when you don’t take the Bible literally, you can make it say anything you want. Hence, your private interpretation.

And it’s not Lucifer, he’s the serpent called the devil and Satan.

Adam was not deceived but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
You said that the tree is spiritual. Is something that is Spiritual. Is something that is Spiritual not real?

What do you mean by Spiritual?

He was the serpent in the beginning of chapter 3 before God cursed him.

1 Timothy 2
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

I never claimed the tree is spiritual. I believe everything in Genesis is literal. There was a literal tree of knowledge of good and evil. It had literal fruit that Eve was deceived into eating. I don’t read of a Lucifer portal anywhere. You made that up.

I would offer. Its using real thing seen (the temporal) to give us the real things not seen (the eternal)

You could say the 20/20 prescription for looking into the dark glass of parables to give us a clearer understanding of the unseen eternal .

2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

He was in. He ate and died .

Advice coming from a heathen look at your comments.
You took a heathen look at my comments? That's very strange.

And besides even if you wanted to become Roman Catholic today you could not!
Thank God for that!

My church as I have stated before is in eclipse and God's punishment to the world is the great apostasy. Which I have no doubt you are absolutely clueless about.
Your ad hominem comments tell me that your intellectual competence is improving.

The mass cease to exist April 3rd 1969 the actual day of my Lord's crucifixion.
Your lord was crucified on April 3, 1969? That says a lot. Mine was crucified almost 2000 years ago.

As an ethnic Roman Catholic I was bestowed a lawful baptism however under an unlawfully elected Pope.
There is no such thing as an "ethnic Roman Catholic". Roman Catholicism is an organized religion, not an ethnicity.

...square with Lord God. I am here to tell you that you are not!
I'll happily ignore your opinion, as I have already accepted God's about me: "adopted and accepted by faith in Jesus Christ".

You want to learn something fine. But you are casting aspersions.
I realize this is well above your paygrade
Uh huh. Look in the mirror, hypocrite.

Did not Jesus Himself place His hands upon Saint Peter and Saint Peter do the same on and on and on. Every lawfully ordained priest ever was confirmed by someone going all the way back to Jesus Christ. Absolutely no other faith in the world can claim that!
Believers in Christ are a kingdom of priests. We are lawfully ordained by faith in Jesus.

they are very real things and events written, just as they are written and described, events having taken place in time and space. and they are very important and pertinent things recorded and written for our sake, things which reveal to us the eternal things. i don't think 'parables' is the right word - a parable having the connotation that they are not actual events, but stories in which everything said is plausible, but may have never actually took place.

Fine. Glad you directed me with that.
God said be fruitful and multiply. Fruitful means acceptable to God and worthy of His table as our offering to Him.
When Eve went to the lineage or tree of the Carnal knowledge of good and evil she began to discover her
sensuousness. Some entity was leading her on. We don't like to use the word but it's called masturbation.As an innocent man
if you've ever gone to a go go bar for the first time you'll know immediately what Adam was confronted with. He immediately became aware of his virility spying his mate. She then gave the fruit to her husband meaning herself and the two became one and Cain was conceived. Only problem this offering or act was unworthy before God and God spoke for the very first time.

What Eve committed wasn't nearly as bad as what Adam committed. The carnal act took place outside the matrimonial boundary
of God. God was everywhere in the garden except at that location. She had caused God to curse all subsequent women from that point on. All except the Woman that will crush the Serpent's head. The Holy Mother of God the Blessed Virgin Maria.
This is total garbage.

AmanII, you need to repent and believe in Jesus Christ and His finished work in His death, burial, and resurrection.

Have a nice life. You'll be gone from here soon.
The current over/under odds of remaining a member is 1 day.

I don't think the word parable which is one of the manners of prophecy that is used to bring the word of God. It is used to represent actual events but does not change the value as historically true But brings another hidden meaning alongside (Para) using the things seen to give us the unseen. what I call gospel, the faith to faith understanding. Comparing the things not seen to the same.

Abraham and Isaac are used a parable that uses the literal historical to give the unseen understanding. The whole period of Kings in Israel until the reformation was set aside was a parable .Healing are parables to show us God is not served by corrupted human hands .The law is without parables Christ spoke not.

Parable simply use the things seen to signify the things not seen used a a figure. The word figure is the same word parable

The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. Hebrews9:8-9
