oDDID-URO;
Would you/daughter think it strange that my Dad & mom did not hardly let me eat sweets often, or white bread. But they loved me much, told me they did, love me ,hugged me.
I hope you love your daughter[God bless her!];
enough to keep her from eating anything/all she wants.
===========================================
Another lesson from that Book of Genesis incident;
ther are some God ordained limits to man, or an evil empire.
Also Adam & Eve were adults;
personal responsibility is part of life, reguardless of redemption beliefs or Bible beliefs.Does the media have you playing the blame game??????They got to eat all except {one} tree
Free will /choices are important to God;
i hope your daughter learns the Bible as a kid, best time.

Quote from I am...:
Brother, since I do not know if you are oddiduro, I will call you Peter..."the rock"!
Your articulation of my position is most prescient.
I can see that you grasp the main points quickly.
Open your mind one more time and try to get your head around this next one.
Home is Self.
Self is the totality of everything.
The totality of everything has no "place".
The world inludes the concept that there can be a "place" for the Son of God to "lay his head".
But, in fact, it is impossible to place limits, or otherwise define what knows no place, nor time in which to be "there".
Once you grasp this, you can then comprehend how it is that the whole world is "within you"...and...how the entire "Kingdom of God" is also "within you".
The world is in you as an idea.
The idea functions as a speck in your eye, temporarily blinding you to what is "in front of your face".
What is "in front" of you is all that is you.
What is "in front" of man's eyes is all that is nOt you.
All experiences are your experience, though you seem to be limited to only one.
All experience is your experience, whether true or false, fake or real, truth or illusion.
What is in front of the face of man is a tiny - crazy - thought in his true mind.
The tiny thought blinds man entirely to what gives rise to the thought.
The thought is blinding, and is intended to blind.
So,
Where is this mind?
Where is this mind that is playing games?
Where is the mind that is ending games?
Where is the mind that never knew of such games?
Where is the mind that would laugh at such games?
This cannot be defined and has no meaning in reality.
It is through seeking no place that we find our true "place".
That place is our "home".
When you look at the world, you see only what is nOt representative of your mind.
The world is a mask over your mind.
The world buries your mind under layers of sub/un/consciousness, and all kinds of "dirt".
The entire sub/un/conscious structure is for keeping secrets.
The split levels of mind are for self-deception.
The split levels are for self-sabatoge.
There are really no split levels of your mind.
The splits and levels are part of a grand game.
In reality, you know everything, all at once.
Every thought you have is shared with the totality instantly.
There are no thoughts that exist outside of your mind.
The thoughts of GoD are within your mind.
Your mind is equal in magnitude and scope to that of the One who has gifted it to you.
In brief,
You are "home", as you really are.
You are nOt home, as a self-cOncept. [think: "con" cept]
The world is a singular self-concept.
Hence,
"Know thy Self".
I sometimes call Self "Christ".
There are really no words to describe.
But if there was a word, it would be a single word, ie. Christ!
There are no limits!
The difference in experience is the difference between being aware or unaware.
Going home is all about rising above a temporarily constricted awareness.
The metaphor for this process is to go from sleep to awake.
Home is full awareness.
Home is the knowledge of oneness, without split level games.
GoDspeeD,
Christ!
Quote from oddiduro:
In short, we are all Neo. We have merely to recognize that reality.
Is that what you are saying?
written and stored on some elaborate memory device, which plays out over "time"...another trick.
In the formation of the "Matrix" that is "the world", the Real combines with the unreal [machine] to form a hybrid: "Man". But it also includes "beast" and "every creeping thing". The real is "One", while man is *many*. The physical body is actually machinery. And the Mind of the One seems to be imprisoned within it, dumbed down, held by chains of ignorance.
The machinery makes the many appear to be the real, while "the One" is the true Light which is utterly blotted out by dark concepts. The Real needs the true Light to truly live, while the machine needs the concepts...and most importantly, the [i]belief[/i] that it is real. Ironically, its belief must come from the Real Mind. But as it sucks belief through its many deceptions, compromises the integrity of the One, and virtually destroys the capacity of the One's mind to function properly. As it divides the One's mind, it conquers it.
Belief is the energy the machine needs to keep running. It seems that belief is not powerful. But it is. When belief is supplied by the One, the machine takes on a "liFe" of its own, and fights to survive inside the mind of the One. The machine imediately goes to work to [i]possess[/i] the mind of the One...for as long as possible. Hence, time. Its domain is time. Its days are numbered, and it somehow senses this and defends itself by wasting your time.
"Man" is a device the machine uses to confuse the mind of the One. As the One gives belief to the machine, it begins to think with it, and the thinking process transforms the One into the *many*. And now, the *many* are extremely confused as to their genesis, their minds utterly controlled by the machine...even their actions. The only thing real about man is Mind...rather, the Mind's choice to believe instead of [i]know[/i]. Everything else is false, even the thoughts of man.
The many are given the appearance of autonomy. That appearance is utterly false. The strings which attach the mind of the many to the mind of the machine are well hidden. If I tried to exlain to you how the mind of man is plugged into the machine, you would scorn me and tell me I am crazy. The machine is very interested in making itself the [i]real[/i], while making the real Real appear to be insane. The machine *sells* each one his own autonomy...his own reality. It gives "gifts". But all its gifts are defenses...like Trojan horses.
Like the machine, man would like to think he is autonomous. But the only power man has left is the power to choose which mind he will think with: the mind of the One, or, the mind of the machine. As man decides to think with the Mind of the One, he will begin to withdraw belief from the mind of the machine. This means that the many must begin to doubt their own existence. This is hard for the many who pride themselves on their autonomy, and their so-called reality, concealing the fact that they are secret slaves of a mechanical dominatrix.
Faith, extracted from the One through deception is how the machine survives. As each one of the many withdraws faith in himself, he also withdraws a little bit of faith from the machine. As each one withdraws faith in his alleged autonomous self, the machine begins to "die"...shut down...turn off.
The One shows each man where the *kill switch* is that takes the "liFe" out of the machine. And when each man kills the machine that runs his mind, he begins to think with the One and as the One.
In time, the One is in the process of withdrawing all faith invested in the machine since before time ever was or seemed to be. The One instructs each one of the many as they are ready...when they are "weary" of the machines dominance. As each follows the instructions carefully and exactly, the many are freed to be the One again.
As one thinks with the One, he cannot maintain a physical presence anymore within "the world". He must ascend, transcend, overcome...disappear...or otherwise [i]exodus[/i] a place of slavery.
Christ!

Let me try again.
Your wife is a heroin addict. She wants a sober life. You love her.
She is days out of detox. You tell her that she must not use or she might die.
Then you leave a foil of heroin on her bedside table. You are 100% sure she will use, but you leave it there anyway.
Is that love?

I told him the either the god of the bible is insane, or the story is wrong.
If God is all knowing, he set his children up to fail.
