Genesis:
The
Adam & Eve Story
Viewer: It does not say anything about man and man or
woman and woman joining together as part of Gods plan.
My reply: A common practice of those condemning gays is to
run to the Garden to say God created Adam & Eve not
Adam & Steve

^i^ A common practice of those condemning gays is to run to
the Garden to say God created Adam & Eve not Adam &
Steve. Lots of things happened in the GARDEN so those
using the Garden had better be careful least they
condemn themselves in the process.
If you play in the
Garden abide by Garden rules.
Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his
mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be
one flesh. (KJV)
^i^ How many straights have left parents to get married?
Very few actually leave home to marry, most leave to sow
wild oats, find a career, go to school, but not get married
till later. Should we say that most straight Christians are
going to hell then? What did God make EVE out of anyway?
Gen 2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man,
made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. (KJV)
6763 tsela` (tsay-law'); or (feminine) tsal` ah (tsal-aw');
from 6760; a rib (as curved), literally (of the body) or
figuratively (of a door, i.e. leaf); hence, a side,
literally (of a person) or figuratively (of an object or the
sky, i.e. quarter); architecturally, a (especially floor or
ceiling) timber or plank (single or collective, i.e. a
flooring): KJV-- beam, board, chamber, corner, leaf, plank,
rib, side (chamber).
Other rib (KJV)
RIBS most 6763
Gen 2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon
Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed
up the flesh instead thereof;
(KJV)
Dan 7:5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear,
and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs
in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said
thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
(KJV) 5967
RIB
2 Sam 2:23 Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner
with the hinder end of the spear smote him under the fifth
rib, that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down
there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, that
as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died
stood still.
(KJV)
2 Sam 3:27 And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took
him aside in the gate to speak with him quietly, and smote
him there under the fifth rib, that he died, for the blood
of Asahel his brother.
(KJV)
2 Sam 4:6 And they came thither into the midst of the house,
as though they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him
under the fifth rib: and Rechab and Baanah his brother
escaped.
(KJV)
2 Sam 20:10 But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in
Joab's hand: so he smote him therewith in the fifth rib, and
shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again;
and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after
Sheba the son of Bichri.
(KJV)
The actual 6763 tsela is in many verses as sides, corners,
chambers, boards, leaves
This same word, "tsela," is used for the side rooms in the
millennial temple, described by Ezekiel in Ez. 41:5-26. Read
this passage on your own. When you read "side rooms" in both
the KJV and the NASB (the Concordant Version of the Old
Testament renders them "angle cells"), you are reading the
Hebrew "tsela," the same word used in Genesis 2:21 to
describe what God took from Adam.
(Note the illustration of Herod's temple, below. (picture
not here) Though not strictly accurate, this illustration
does show you a couple side rooms--labeled "oil storage" and
"Nazarites' court"--built into the walls of the temple.
These are by no means ribs, but hollow chambers, vaults,
rooms.) God
took a side room from Adam? He removed an angule cell from
him?
It is not an easy task to show Adam’s Rib meant CELL from
that RIB, but enough info is accessible to leave room for
curiosity about this RIB. I first heard this from TBN’s
expert on Hebrew and it culture and ancient language
(believe his name is Roy Blizzard) this was m any years ago;
I cannot find this man now to get more specifics of his
findings. However, Steve was there all the time in the DNA.
^i^ I wish I could insert the most accurate definition for
this word "RIB". You see the actual best word in our English
would be a cell from that "RIB". Not to lesson God's work,
but it actually magnifies it by understanding the complexity
of the human genes, DNA, and other cell structures. Inside
these is the blueprint of mankind and every distinction of
every aspect of our makeup including 10% will be born gay. I
am not going to go into the details behind being born gay in
this response to you I am just going to assume it and
another time for the FACTs of it. In other comments I go
into more detail which can be found from my home page.
Because the Bible addresses all mankind it mostly will talk
as though talking to the main majority principle readers,
then all others readers are quite capable of applying the
message appropriately to themselves. It really does not
matter that many straights cannot accept gay couples. What
matters is the principles of God's message works for
everyone. Concerning the message of Gen 2:22 and the
Garden the Apostles felt it impossible to obey God and
so one should not marry then Jesus explains a mystery.
Matt 19:10-12 10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of
the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. 11 But
he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save
they to whom it is given. 12 For there are some eunuchs,
which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are
some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be
eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom
of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him
receive it. (KJV)
^i^ When researching the past eunuchs were generally
considered gay. Kama
Sutra II Ch. XII written between the 1st & 6th century
explains that all or most
eunuchs were gay and relates to material even
much further back in history. Strangely I have heard
unexplained independent statements from some gays that say
God told them eunuchs mainly related to the common
gay. Jesus explains that it is not very easy for most people
to understand his comments concerning eunuchs, but
would like you to understand it if it were possible. So
those that simply say eunuchs means castrated or
otherwise made or born unable to do straight sex as it were
or some great spiritual abstaining for God sake is just not
the right answer or it would make Jesus a liar. He said
“All men cannot receive this saying" so generally
Christian hadn't to be going around teaching it as some such
easy explanation. This is most likely straight from Jesus'
mouth that "gay is not sin".
^i^ What happened to Adam & Eve when they left the
Garden? Read the "Lost Books of Eden" which
probably will not be recommended by your pastors. However,
this book uses many writings that have been used exclusively
for centuries by a large number of Christians and that is
all they had and these books were generally chosen not to be
in the Bible because they didn't quite sound good poetically
speaking. They also seemed unnecessary and would make the
Bible too big. Somehow this got to mean that they should be
forbidden. Yet, these very old writings explain a lot.
Admittedly some are from myth and legend, and folklore, but
still are very worth reading. They write about the 1000
years after Adam and Eve were told they could not stay in
the Garden anymore. Something happened as the Bible
says when they left the Garden.
Gen 3:16-19 16 To the woman he said, "I will greatly
increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give
birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and
he will rule over you." 17 To Adam he said, "Because you
listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I
commanded you, 'You must not eat of it,' "Cursed is the
ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of
it all the days of your life. 18 It will produce thorns and
thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until
you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for
dust you are and to dust you will return." (NIV)
^i^ It may be hard to grasped, but something happened when
they left the Garden. I explain it like this, the
cell's genes were shocked into full potential and something
also happened to the literal atmosphere and ground so that
thorns and thistles would grow now. This shock as I
call it also would permanently cause an inherited trait in
all males born from then on and that is this "built in"
sense that males are masters over women. Any attempt to
control this specifically manipulated gene by GOD would be
met with a life time of guarding ones behavior to control it
from breaking out. A man would have to learn to control his
desire to rule women as inferior to them. Christian have
sometimes big time troubles with this as they find
opportunity in God's word to prove they must "rule" the
woman. Many times the woman feels that she must accept this
based on the very same verses. I have seen some exaggerated
cases of this many times. This is also exaggerated out by
men in prisons. Some men will attack sexually other men or
in some way gain control of other men sexually with the
deeply rooted sense that he really isn't mounting a man, but
making that man into a woman so he can act out his
domination over her. When that man returns to society he
also returns to the same controlling acts but with women.
These are well documented by prison counselors.
^i^ Most of the full potential of the genes have nothing to
do with sin. God had already designed the DNA and gene
structure in ADAM before EVE to give every kind of traits we
see today as commonly inherited including being gay as I
explained in my Romans response concerning "nature and
natural". History goes a way back as far as recorded history
goes and tells us about gays. In Jesus day there were at
least 9 Greek words that defined gays in an accurate way.
Paul's word was not one of them. To based gay is sin on that
in Genesis said "man & woman" says that the person using
this idea fails to examine real life facts to conclude an
absence of a statement in Genesis of "man and man" means gay
is sin because God did not make gays doesn't show much
concern for truth don't you think. The 630 million gays
today deserves a better explanation than a quick "God didn't
make Adam & Steve". Steve was in the DNA as the word
rib in Hebrew in Gen 22:3 means cell from that rib
