The following article uses the Garden of Eden as an analogy.

We read in Genesis that there are two trees in the garden.

There is the Tree of Eternal Life,of which Adam and Eve can eat from abundantly.

At the other end of the Garden is the Tree of Good and Evil.This tree G-d warns Adam and Eve NOT to eat from,or they will surely die.

 

In my story the tree of eternal life represents True Judaism ,complete with the Messiah Yeshua.The Tree of Good and Evil represents what has happened to that Judaism and Christian paganism,which has distorted and completely changed the Tree of Eternal Life.

In the Eden story is the serpent.He represents The Evil one,in my story ,as well.

Then there is Adam and Eve.Adam represents mankind in all it’s goodness and it’s faults.

Eve represents the presence and acceptance to a false Gospel  .

 

The story as I see it goes like this: The serpent,representing Constintinian Christianity feeds a slew of lies that Jewish Torah,customs and traditions are not important.

They are passé.The only important thing is to receive Jeeesus,worship HIM on Sunday

(the new day of worship),walk along Fifth Avenue in your best outfits for the Easter (Ishtar) parade,celebrate his birth on December 25th with boughs of holly and jolly fat men in red suits giving gifts..

 

The L-rd says ”Honor the Sabbath and keep it Holy“

The serpent says“the day was changed to Sunday“

Eve brings all this MISinformation to Adam.representing 1900+ years of spreading the ”Good News“.

Well Adam listens to Eve,rather than the King of The Universe and the damage is done.

Here we are in the 21st century,where most(but Thank G-d,not all) believers in

Yeshua/Jesus believe that the Torah(Law-bad translation) has been done away with.

We are under a NEW covenant,that has replaced the OLD covenant.

We are saved by grace and no longer have to worry(or obey?) any of the“LAW“.

So what about Matthew Chapter 5:19 ?

So whoever disobeys the least of these mitzvot and teaches others to do so will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But whoever obeys them and so teaches will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.(Complete Jewish Bible)

 

 

         As believers in Messiah until we get the ”story“ right,

 

we will not live to the fullest, and we jeopardize our place in His kingdom to come.

This story may offend some….   I hope it does.A false interpretation of the“Good News“ has been offensive to me for my twenty four years believing in Messiah Yeshua

 

          Find out about the Tree of Eternal Life .Explore Judaism !It is the true root of our faith and ONLY through this tree can we find the fullness of our Messiah Yeshua.
