Now we come to resolving an issue upon which serpent seed of Satan theorists place much emphasis; what does eating a fruit have to do with increasing childbearing pain? Is not the biblical model an eye for an eye? So, how does it make sense that this amounts to the act of eating for increased pain during childbirth? Note that Zen emphasizes, “How is it that Eve is the mother of all living but Adam is nowhere referenced as such?” and asks, “Could it be that she is referenced as such because she is the mother of both Cain and Abel whereas Adam is only the father of Abel.” No, it could not be for various reason such as that Genesis 5:4 specifies that “Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters” thus, not only Abel but Seth and sons and daughters. The final straw, as it were, is Zen asking the rhetorical question, “How is such possible if there is no sexual connotation associated to this act?”
Simply stated, Seth replaces Abel because Adam and Eve lost Abel to murder by Cain and the next male they had was Seth.
The issue is that Zen is emphasizing supposed problems or mysteries and overlaying them with his interpretive template. When we take texts out of context we can make pretexts of prooftexts.
The question is why serpent seed of Satan theorists place such emphasis on the curse upon Eve. They appear to do so due to the apparent oddity in the punishment not fitting the crime and then they take off from there. However, when we take the Bible within its own context we notice that the answer is before our eyes.
Recall that Zen Garcia stated, “eating fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil actually refers to a sexual tryst rather than an actual literal piece of fruit” yet, Adam also ate of he fruit so will Zen assert that Adam also had sex with Satan? I would imagine that he would appeal to Genesis 3:6 which states that “she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat” in order to claim that the fruit of the tree desired via Satan’s beguiling was Satan’s body but the fruit of the tree via Eve giving it to Adam was Eve’s body. But then, why would Adam be forbidden to engage in sexual union with his wife?
Now, ask yourself why, since Adam too did eat of the forbidden fruit, is the following cruse related to his sin? Genesis 3:17-19, “…cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.” How does this punishment fit the crime of eating?
