If the Adam and Eve story is purely metaphorical, and not historical, doesn’t that mean the whole religion is false?
.
The teachings of most Christian pastors today are utterly absurd and completely false. The Bible clearly states that Adam and Eve were not the first to commit original sin; rather, the king of Tyrus ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil before them.
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.(Ezekiel 28 : 11-19)
However, Christian pastors fail to see this truth. Why? Because they are blind. That is why the Bible says, “The blind lead the blind, and both fall into the pit of hell.
This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.(Matthew 15 : 8-14)
The king of Tyrus was the first to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and by doing so, he became flesh. Then, through the serpent, this king of Tyrus led Adam and Eve to eat from the tree as well. Therefore, original sin did not begin with Adam and Eve. It first originated with the king of Tyrus, who was once seated on the heavenly throne. He ate the forbidden fruit first and then deceived Adam and Eve through the serpent. That is why the Bible records that one among us (one among God’s cherubim) was the first to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:(Genesis 3 : 22)
Christians who fail to see this truth all claim that Adam and Eve were the first to eat from the tree and commit original sin. However, this is an outright lie, and the reason most pastors do not see this is because they are blind to the truth. This is why Christianity today is inevitably led into corruption, falsehood, and wickedness.
When Adam and Eve were first created before God, they were covered in light and walked around naked without shame. However, after eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil—which had become flesh—their bodies changed to be like those of humans. Seeing that their lower bodies were now exposed, they felt ashamed and covered themselves with fig leaves. However, after eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil—which had become flesh—their bodies transformed, becoming like those of humans. The Lord had warned them, “If you eat from this tree, you will surely die.”
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.(Genesis 2 :25)
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.(Genesis 2 :17)
When we humans ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, our bodies also became flesh, and from that moment, death entered into us. King Tyrus is referred to as Satan, the one who has become a source of fear and astonishment for all people. This is why he is called Satan. A god that has become flesh is what the Bible calls Satan. Because pastors who lack even this basic and fundamental understanding are the ones teaching, Christians today fail to be the light and salt of the world. They are no different from the world and its affairs, unable to serve as true examples or role models. People have been deceived into believing in these falsehoods. Christians are by no means true followers of Christ. Why?
Because their faith has been corrupted—they serve both worldly things and material wealth alongside God, making Christianity nothing more than a distorted, heretical religion.
Christianity has become a corrupt religion that does not truly believe in God but instead misuses His word for its own purposes. Merely believing in the church or in Christianity does not make one a child of God. Likewise, believing in Catholicism does not make one a child of God. Only those who follow God’s will can truly become His children. Because people worship God while also clinging to the world and material wealth, Christianity has undergone corruption upon corruption, degeneration upon degeneration, falsehood upon falsehood, and distortion upon distortion—all leading to the tragic state we see today. This downfall is the result of pastors preaching according to their own desires and congregations accepting only what suits their preferences. This continuous distortion and heresy has led to countless factions forming within Christianity, endlessly producing new sects and divisions. A true follower of Christ begins by denying themselves. They do not chase after worldly worries that lead to death, nor do they pursue a life centered on this world.
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.(2 Corinthians 7 : 10)
Seeking things like health problems, family issues, business concerns, and relationship matters is evidence of being attached to the flesh. And those who belong to the flesh cannot escape the endless cycle of sin.
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.(James 1 : 15)
For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.(Romans 7 : 14)
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.(Romans 8 : 5-8)
Those who live according to the flesh are not living the life of Christ. Their faith is no different from that of the world, driven by desires and greed, seeking only human happiness, success, and prosperity. It is not the faith of Christ, which calls for sacrificing even one’s own life. Therefore, Christianity is not truly Christ-like.
For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.(Romans 14 : 7)
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. (James 4 : 3-4)
