BORN TO LOVE 2 'ORIGINAL SIN'

'ORIGINAL SIN'
One interpretation of sin and social exegesis of the fall of man and woman with the collapse of the nation for its anti supportive policies. by Joshua Vargas THEOLOGIAN.
To start with, we arrive at a set of agreement about sin, because everyone has a different version of it. In fact, the question is what we mean by sin? The most common meanings of sin are. Violations of the mandates of God. Violations of rules and dogmas of the Catholic Church. Violations evangelical faith itself. Personally I refer to as a Protestant Bible reading and see it as the most important and unique law which summarizes the Christian faith says:
  "You shall love God above all things and your neighbor as yourself" (Mark 12: 30-31)
 Rule of Jesus that summarizes the commands and turns out to be an ethical standard of behavior in society. Thus in terms of clearer then a violation to this is what we call sin, that is another thing or person placing before God in our lives is sin. And hate, hurt, hurt by actions, omissions, thought and other human-made or yourself is the summary of what is sin.
Questions arise we would be valid on the premise of the existence of God security: Is sin then place my family, my partner, most children before God? ... I know them but I've never seen God, not even sure that there is, as loving a conventional theory or idea? It's illogical, I can not love what you do know.
In fact, because they are human Theologically, we are of God, God's name etymologically means "He who is," but also the Johannine explanation of what love is, our capacity to love (when we truly love) , is a sign of God's presence in our lives, "Whoever does not love does not know God because God is love," 1 John 4. 8
Sometimes we say we love, but in reality is more than love obsession, selfishness, self-deception, and this has consequences that are suffering infidelity, insecurity and suffering. But he who loves truly knows you want the best for that person, and we give the best of us, sexually, personally etc. When we put others interests before love of neighbor, rather than the man who is the image of God, we are sinning, But then you deceive yourself and you hurt the other, no one can say that loves God and hates his neighbor. In short: "if you love your neighbor as you love yourself then God"
Christians (Catholics and Protestants) despite being humanists believe that man is evil by nature and inclined to evil. But it was created as well, but there was a source to this perversion. We all know the story of original sin, better known by theologians as the fall of man. But through the centuries have been given different interpretations according to the conception of sin at the time

SAN AUGUSTINE OF HIPPONA African, born in Numidia (Suk arras) November 13 354 d C. To him, man was created good and upright, his own free will, but was separated from God because of pride and that made fall in lust. His view has influenced Western church since the Middle Ages, and also our belief that original sin was that Adam and Eve had sex. Thus sexuality is sinful and sin because of there that the saints are virgins. We all know the interpretation that Adam and Eve were naked and the apple that Eve gave Adam was a metaphor for sex, and the snake was (as a phallic symbol) the origin of evil, Augustine But talk about being a consequence of sin. And man's original sin was pride.
Sex is not sin, God has made for the benefit of humanity, but the thought of St. Augustine church took place as original sin, which was not the intention. Hence priests are "celibate" and that in the Western Christian world was a taboo sexuality throughout the Middle Ages to the mid-twentieth century in Latin America. "Give me chastity and continence Lord but not now 'St. Augustine. Works Volume II p. 633.
'ORIGINAL SIN'
This phrase of Augustine and his autobiography makes us know that he suffered a lot to live a licentious life. But not considered a cause but a consequence of the true original sin. Sexuality was a gift from God, partly necessary for reproduction, but especially for spiritual sharing, so that Adam would not be alone, he and his wife are one flesh, that beautiful metaphor for sexuality, for which have felt to make love you can touch the sky with an ecstasy, we understand the importance of sexuality that God gave us.

A SOCIAL EXEGESIS THE MYTH OF ORIGINAL SIN.
As I told you in the previous workshop will inject Babylonian influence to this story of creation a rematch with epics Aramaic elements of "Gilgamesh and Enkidu" but the richness of the text is that it comes with a different and unique social ills. Genesis Chapter 2 tells us that the man and his wife are in the garden made by God, given management and care of all creation, the man Adam made the earth has a mission, as a farmer and grower-giving Eve life is his helpmeet.
The biblical myths were the expression of a people and the writing of this pericope of the fall of man was made after the Babylonian exile around 580. C. seeks to assimilate other cultural elements Babylonian publicize social policy made them fall as a nation.

The Bible begins with a somewhat strange statement: "The serpent was more subtle ... (Genesis 3: 1) I have never seen a snake crafty, so I assume it refers to something else, my interpretation is that the serpent denotes a nation, is the allegory of the nation that the snake used as a symbol. Many nations today used and still use animals to symbolize social values ​​and state that they want to imitate, as Egypt was the Asp, a snake. As I said the snake was a symbol used to represent Egypt Egyptians parent of wisdom. Knowing science, immortal as the serpent that never dies but changes of skin, the first men-gods sons of Ra.

The biblical texts have shown to other peoples and nations with animal attributes, Babylon as a lion with eagle's wings, (Daniel 7:4); Rome a dragon with 7 heads clear reference to the surrounding hills (Revelation 12:3) Greece as a goat. Even today it is common to use animal symbols to represent nations, their tribal totem, Colombia for example has a condor in the Shield, USA a bald eagle. etc.



On the other hand it was also very common for the people and the ancient Hebrew prophets used the simile or allegory of God and Israel as husband Ishi their nation as women, cheating, (Ezekiel 16 and 23: 4), (Hosea 2 : 2), so it is common for a woman is a symbol of a nation, many times we find allusions to woman speaking nations as the country was also the mother of the individual, the land that sustained him, guarded and protected, an example the New Testament is derogatory to Rome, called Babylon or the great Harlot and Revelation to Israel is represented as the woman clothed with the sun with a crown of 12 stars.


She women, representing the rulers of the nation, Israel, these are the infidels with the commands of God. Adam as we have seen represents the people of the land, the peasants. So this way we find, the actors in this drama,
The snake, is a nation with economic and technological power with a culture where the ruler more than a public servant is a god to which you must obey, so deceives and seduces the woman who represents the prevailing political power (not the genre proper female, the man Adam is here the people submissive and obedient) from there asked to disobey God's prohibition of eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, she says she is forbidden to eat of this tree. A clear reference to not be swayed, nor afford to imitate a culture traits oppressors. This text is influenced by the anti foreign words, remember that when they arrive from Babylonian Jews bring the idea to remove the cult and their society is anything not typically Jewish (ironic because we bring the baggage and language of culture Babylonian).
The context in which the nation's leaders are assisted by Egypt, is in danger of an invasion by the Assyrian empire, mocking expression of Assyria "Behold, you trust in Egypt at the reed cane, which anyone who rests on her hand had been run through, so Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in Him "2 Kings 18, 21 Nobles and political leaders, rely on Egypt's military technology rather than the faith in the Lord to save them. The woman nation of Egypt considers the words snake. I remember when a president of our country made a celebrated treatise, not very good for Colombia but for their personal and family interests, in a way it felt like a case of infidelity, probably still echoing in his ears the promise of the benefits of this treaty
-You will not die ... But you will be like God (ye gods) knowing good and evil. Gen. 3: 4 and 5.


It is this time when women (nation) and reasons considered desirable to eat the fruit, eats and gives the village, note that Adam does not reason or denied, (see, 6) only receives the fruit that women and nation has accepted. Egyptian cultural influence, which accepts with the baggage of being treated like gods than men starting from the reign of Solomon with his political alliance with Egypt. Then with the Assyrians and Babylonians finally thereof; may genesis writers consider that the reason for the fall of Israel has to do with cultural relations with imperial powers that negatively influenced the policies of national solidarity (not is only Egypt).
So the reading of the fall of man into sin, hermeneutics begins with the fall of the nation of Israel in sin. From there the universalizing Christians not only was Israel who fell but all peoples. The reading of Genesis is not individual but collective, original sin was pride and lust for power ... "be like God". Being a god among men. But from there to become immortal'm a stretch, that was the punishment and there is Babylonian cultural influence, In the Babylonian epic Gilgamesh was all that, an almost god, powerful, strong, arrogant dominated all and all suffered under his rule but lacked immortality to be a god, to go find the plant of immortality and find a snake steals it at the last moment she received immortality. In Genesis Adam and the woman have become like gods and find the flaws in themselves, the nudity itself means not only physical nakedness is an allusion to his faults, can not be presented before God for their sins and when required and called to account denied immortality.
Adam The man in the land, the people of the earth is called to account for disobeying the mandate, but the accused, "the woman you gave me ..." God directly accuses Adam and the woman in the background of his own guilt ie "the fault was of the rulers of our leaders, kings, which thy God chose for us"
 The woman, the nation insists: "I was deceived, the serpent tricked me" is that I thought that NAFTA was good for everyone, sorry.
God does not call the snake simply Accounts curses and announces the enmity between him and the woman. The final chapter of this allegory after announcing the usual punishments, announces that they will have immortality, but they die.
Because the text places the Adam people as guilty of obeying something that clearly was harmful and wrong and that he should not accept. And his punishment was therefore proportional, his work was once a gift and a joy now is oppression and loading, the same suffering in Babylon, the same fault load undergo a people to accept policies and laws that would harm you then.
The punishment of women Nation (read kings and rulers) was the submission to the people whom she wanted, understood as a primitive democracy "The people are greater than their leaders" When the idea was that the people (Adam) should require their rulers, That governments (Eva) are subject to the will of the governed, not the other way around, it will be difficult but I wanted to.
The people of Israel suffered in exile, leaders, kings and nobles were taken into slavery for 70 years where he served under the regimes of Nebuchadnezzar, Cyrus and Xerxes thriving and then returning, the people of the land was left and took possession of the fields abandoned by the exiles. So rebuilding the nation's home and demanded a new reading of the fall of his people as a nation. This rereading of Genesis gives us a different light on the idea of ​​original sin, the balance between man and woman was later marred by literalist interpretations of the fall, to be lost through the mists of time the primary meaning that once was understood by the editors. They were given through the different eras that gave new meaning to the idea of ​​the supremacy of men over women because she (the woman) the cause of sin. Interestingly, the woman does not get her name but then for punishment. Eva. (Giver of Life) The balance between man and woman land and God is broken by the sin of pride and lust for power. Until recently we are outraged by the arrest and conviction of a man who walked into a supermarket chain and stole a chicken broth because I was hungry to six years in prison, while another young "good family" was released after murder two women driving while intoxicated.
  The power and money seem to give some sectors of society the privilege of being treated like gods. To those who judge so I leave a letter for over two thousand years.
Psalm 82
God is Standing in the divine assembly, among the "gods" judges.
How long will you judge unjustly? How bad will among people distinctions between people? Help the orphan and the needy, do justice to the poor and needy, rid needy and needy, deliver them from the hand of evil men.
They do not know or understand, walk in darkness! All the foundations of the earth are shaking!
I told them, "You are gods, all of you are children of the Most High, But die and fall like one of the governors'
Arise God and judge the earth, you will possess the nations
