1. God does not punish anyone for the sins of another.
This means any church that preaches all are born with "the sin of Adam" upon them, is preaching a falsehood... because sin seperate us from God... and that "inherited" separation is a type of punishment.
2. God doesn't punish the innocent.
The things you do without knowledge of right and wrong are done in innocence. So, when Adam and Eve bit the apple from "the tree of knowledge of good and evil"... they didn't yet know what good or evil was. Thos means they bit the apple in innocense. Something God does not punish.
3. Being forced to leave the garden was not a punishment... it was a blessing.
God created us that we might find joy... and all things must come in opposition or joy cannot be found: if you've never known hunger you can't be grateful or appreciate food; if you've never known cold you won't find joy in warmth; if every sunset is the same... "ho hum... the sun is going down."
Being forced out of the garden was actually God saying, "I want you to find joy. I want you to appreciate the fruits of your own labor, and the blessing if filling a grumbling stomach. I want you to know the joys of both of you leaving one to another on cold nights to find warmth. I want you to feel the sun of your face after a hard rain so you can appreciate the better times. I want you to know a a beautiful sunset from any other... SO.. you can't stay here in the garden... because no joy can be known without also knowing suffering."
4. God does not set people up for failure.
This means, when God told Adam and Eve to multiply and replenish the earth... He also wanted them to teach their children up in the ways of righteousness... and warn them of evil. This means Adam and Eve need to have the knowledge of good and evil in order to be successful parents... and it was actually in Eve's wisdom that she realized this.
And because God doesn't set us up for failure... He didn't allow us to follow Adam and Eve into this world until they gained the knowledge they needed. ... if they didn't eat that apple.. we'd still be waiting for them to bite it.
5. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.
He is the way back to Heavenly Father (no one may come before the Father except through Jesus Christ)... and Jesus is 100% of the truth... and He is life eternal.
We also no that if any should deny Jesus... He will deny them before the Father.
So... if you deny these truths... even if they only make up 1% of the entire truth of Jesus... then He will deny you to that same extent... because denying truth means denying Jesus.
This also means that if tou attend a church that refutes these simple truths... that church is not of God. -- there may be much good in that church... but it is teaching up to one day be denied 1% of the way back to Heavenly Father... and that means that Satan loves the church you go to.
There's only one church that teaches these truths... look for it... and rely only on the Holy Ghost for your guidance to it.
That church will always be demonized by others... but do you have faith to enter it... accept it... and desire enough to be part of it?
There are so many more truths to uncover... but for now these should suffice. And if it be wisdom in God that you should read these things... having a pure and sincere intent to know the truth...and asking God... having faith in Jesus Christ... the truth of these things will be made manifest unto you.
I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ.. amen.
