Higher law was NOT to partake of the forbidden fruit.thaabit wrote: ↑September 5th, 2022, 11:17 pm Seems fairly clear that without the Fall, there would be no men. A higher law or commandment supersedes a lower one. Eve, in her wisdom, disobeyed a lower law to fulfill a higher one. This necessitated Adam following her. You can argue that they did it too soon, but I am unaware of any scriptural backing to that.
I already explained that in context with other scriptures, they COULD have had posterity without the fall, if they simply resisted the temptation enough.
Both Adam and Eve were wrong, for which they were cursed.
That is the plain reading of the scriptures, and the testimony of the Spirit.
The Church has been in the wilderness for almost 200 years without Zion in part because it believes the very lie that caused the fall in the first place, and it cannot be redeemed while believing the very lie that caused the fall in the first place.
Therefore God will soften or remove all the heads in the church that impede His work. I give it another 5 years or so, and we are going to have an apology from Adam himself when he will testify to the stubborn church that he was wrong, and that there indeed was a better way for him in the garden had he listened to the Father more than to the devil.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
