NOTE: Amor gignit amorem (Love begats love). Remember, whether your God is an entity; a personage; a
spirit; omniscient; omnipresent; objectivity, enlightenment, intelligence or a concept, God is Love and
Satan is hate!
Love and sex, while one can enhance the other, they mutually exclusive and come in a variety of forms
and fashions the beauty and morality, of which depends upon its expression.
Man can be assured his God was created in his own image when his God hates the same people he does.
Is anyone so absolutely positive that their beliefs are in fact true, void of any clearly definable proof
to the contrary, that after being able to exercise their God given right to freely make a choice, they
would condemn someone else for making a different choice? Such is the Plan of Satan!

... Revolt in Eden ... ... ... God's will as expressed to
Adam & his wife was primarily positive , setting forth things
thay were to do. ... ( Gen. 1:26-29 ; 2:15 ) ... ... ... One
prohibitive command was given to Adam , that forbidding
eating of ( or even touching ) the tree of the knowledge of
good & bad. ... ( Gen. 2:16-17 ; 3:2-3 ) ... ... ... God's
test of man's obedience & devotion is notable for the respect
it showed for man's dignity. ... By it God attributed nothing
bad to Adam ; God did not use as a test the prohibition of ,
for example , bestiality , murder , or some similar vile or
base act , thereby implying that God felt Adam might have some
despicable inclinations residing within him. ... ... ...
Eating was normal , proper , & Adam had been told to .."eat
to satisfaction".. of what God had given him. ... ( Gen. 2:16 )
... ... ... But God now tested Adam by restricting his eating
of the fruit of this one tree , God thus causing the eating
of that fruit to symbolize that the eater comes to a knowledge
that enables him to decide for himself what is .."good".. or
what is .."bad".. for man. ... ... ... Thus , God neither
imposed a hardship on the man nor did God attribute to Adam
anything beneath his dignity as a human son of God. ... ...
... The woman was the first human sinner. ... Her
temptation by God's Adversary was not through an open
appeal to immorality of a sensual nature. ... Rather , the
appeal was to the desire for supposed intellectual
elevation & freedom. ...( Gen. 3:1-5 ) ... ... ... As the
account reveals , improper desire began to work in the
woman. ... She coveted what rightly belonged to God as her
Sovereign , God's ability & prerogative to determine what
is good & what is bad for his creatures. ... Putting trust
in the Tempter's words , she let herself be seduced , ate
of the fruit & revealed the sin that had been born in her
heart & mind. ...( Gen.3:6 ; 2Cor. 11:3 ; compare Jas.
1:14-15 ; Mat. 5:27-28 ) ... ... ... The apostle shows that
the man's sinning differed from that of his wife in that
Adam was not deceived by the Tempter's propaganda. ...
( 1Tim. 2:14 ; Gen. 3:6 , 17 ) ... ... Adam therefor ..
"missed the mark".. & failed to act in God's image &
likeness , did not reflect God's glory , & , in fact
insulted his heavenly Father. ... ... ... Lack of faith in
God is a major sin , showing , as it does , distrust of him
or lack of confidence in his ability to preform. ... ( Heb.
3:12-13 , 18-19 )

Could it be that G_D does not judge. Could it be that instilled within us is the property of self judgement which actually performs this function as a result of our acceptance of Illusion in our lives, as it has been said " The truth shall make you free". The laws of G_D have been placed as a gift within our psyche. Is it up to us to judge ourselves according to Godly Understanding?
