The
image depicts the error of Adam and Eve hiding from GOD in the Garden
of Eden.
Today,
reply is on the first human pair (Adam), gender, and human
reproduction. At their creation, Adam was like the angels, neither
mortal nor immortal, and had duration as an expression of
divine prerogative (only GOD exists as immortal). The practice and
process of human sexuality when focused according to divine intent
centers on the reproduction of mankind as a material organism created
by GOD that displays the properties of both flesh and spirit.
Through sexual intercourse, joining, and the fertilization of the
female seed, a child having life essence from GOD can
be formed who will display characteristics and traits from both their
male and female parent. It is written: Genesis 1: 27-28, King
James Version (KJV): 27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion
over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over
every living thing that moveth upon the earth. One of the fighters

what
do you think about the creation of adam and eve?
at
the time we were discussing mortal and venial sin in religion class
when my teacher asked for examples of these sins. my classmate, stood
up and said homosexuality. my teacher told him that homosexuality
isn't a sin, and my classmate cannot argue with the fact that adam
was made a man and eve was made a woman, therefore there are only two
sexes. teacher told us that we cannot claim that they are man and
woman because they were immortal, and so they have no gender
whatsoever. opinions?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and
of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as
it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the
seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And he came and
took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and
twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them
harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of
saints. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take
the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and
hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and
tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings
and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. And I beheld, and I
heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts
and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten
thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice,
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and
riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and
blessing. And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth,
and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in
them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be
unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and
ever. And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty
elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.

existence and life are expressions of divine will. There are only
two sexes that appear through the Creation of GOD, yet, there are
many expressions of human sexuality generated by self-will within
mankind, and the operations of flesh. Mature Christian believers do
not rely on academic and secular discussions of Creation, the
character and nature of mankind, or the operations and process of
sin. There are multiple definitions, meanings, standards and values
that should be in place that are aspects of sacred knowledge,
only. For example, GOD is a spirit who appears to created beings and
living creatures as active presence. The living mistakenly
use finite human tools (e.g., intellect; language; logic; science)
that understate the awesome dominion, personhood, and sovereignty of
the divine fullness (we also say, Deity; the Godhead; the Father, the
Son, the Holy Spirit). Divinity may exist within the consciousness
and self-will (willpower) of the living while remaining diffuse (we
also say, limitless; without material form and measurable boundaries;
outside the frameworks of time and space). Divinity endures as
immortal, incorruptible, and invisible, and has made themselves
knowable, known, accessible, and approachable. The operations of sin
oppose the continued existence of sacred law, the Lawgiver, and the
entire universe appearing through divine order. Sin is a
transgression of sacred law that results in imbalance (iniquity), and
the corruption of all divine order throughout the universe. The
first pair (GOD called them both Adam) were deliberately male and
female to populate the Garden of Eden through sexual joining in a
manner similar to what was to be used among the animals. Eternal
purpose and gender roles were in place at the time of Adam’s
transgression; and disobedience by the pair resulted in the loss of
life essence (i.e., breath; spirit; word) that had been
imparted from the makeup of GOD. The divine sanctions for correction
and punishment that were declared and stated as aspects of the law as
first given to mankind included continuing as subject to death (i.e.,
mortality; the state of sleep endured by the male while the female
was fashioned from one of his ribs). Visible results from the
transgression of Adam include a gradual erosion of mankind’s
endowment of spirit substance that resulted in exaggerations of
appetite (e.g., hunger, thirst, sexual cravings), sensation (e.g.,
hearing, seeing, tasting, touching), and the features of emotion/mind
(e.g., anger, fear, imagination, recall). Through the ministry on
earth of divinity appearing in flesh (we say, the Incarnation), Jesus
Christ has established a new creation providing forgiveness
for sin, a reconciliation of the Father to mankind, and new life for
those in flesh by means of the resurrection of Christ. Consider
again the following that uses language from the Bible, and a
selection from the music ministry of Steve Amerson:
(1.)
1st Timothy 2: 13-15, King James Version (KJV): 13 For
Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but
the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue
in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
(2.)
Romans 5: 17-19, KJV: 17 For if by one man’s
offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance
of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one,
Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment
came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness
of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of
life. 19 For as by one man’s
disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall
many be made righteous.
(3.)
Romans 8: 5-9, KJV: 5 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. 6 For to be carnally minded is death;
but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the
carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to
the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in
the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in
the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any
man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, (4.)

Even
so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according
to your faith.
