1 At the first God made the heaven and the earth.

2 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and a delight to the eyes, and to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit, and gave it to her husband.

3 But when the time had come, God sent out his Son, made of a woman, made under the law. That he might make them free who were under the law, and that we might be given the place of sons.

4 a)Truly I say to you, he who has faith in me has eternal life.
b) Martha said to him, I am certain that he will come to life again when all come back from the dead at the last day.
Jesus said to her, I am myself that day and that life; he who has faith in me will have life even if he is dead; And no one who is living and has faith in me will ever see death.

The disobedience and transgression of Adam and Eve is called Original Sin. What happened? As we have previously said, God gave Adam and Eve permission to eat the fruit of all trees except the fruit of the tree "of the knowledge of good and evil." Here is what the Bible says: "You may freely eat of every tree of the Garden; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it, you shall die"(Genesis 2:16-17). In other words, God said to Adam and to Eve, "You may eat the fruit of all of the trees that are in the Garden and that are edible; it is only the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that you should not eat. On the day that you do eat it, you shall die."

A guilty person wants an accomplice. Satan, who had been an angel and had disobeyed God, becoming Satan, felt guilty and terribly alone. He could keep company only with the other Satans, the demons. His nature had been perverted; he was unable and is unable ever to think about goodness. He always thinks and desires evil. He always seeks evil for others. He was jealous of man. He saw that he was so very happy in Paradise in the company of God. So he put his evil plans into action. As the spirit that he is, he entered the body of a snake. Then he climbed the tree of "the knowledge of good and evil." He waited there. Eve came and peered at the tree. Satan intruded upon her curiosity. He asked her, "Tell me, Eve, is it true that God told you not to eat the fruit of all of the trees?" Eve answered, "No. He told us to eat the fruit of all the trees except the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, because if we did we would die." The serpent said, "You shall not die. God knows that on the day that you eat of that fruit, your eyes will open and you will become as gods. You will know good and evil." Eve liked Satan's sweet and slanderous words. She stretched out her hand. She took a fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. She ate some, and she also gave some to her mate, Adam. They ate together. Immediately, "their eyes were opened" and they realized that they were naked (Genesis 3:1-7).

Because many people say that the Bible is being metaphorical and that by the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil the Bible refers to the sexual relationship of Adam and Eve, we repeat here that this is not true. God had decreed the sexual relationship of Adam and Eve when he told them to "increase and multiply." Then what shall we say is the original sin? It is the denunciation of God. If you will, it is the attempt of man to disenthrone God and to enthrone himself in His place, to become God in the place of God. It is not merely that he ate fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. St. John Chrysostom says about Eve, "She was filled with grandiose imaginings, hoping to be equal to God." Hoping to be equal to God, she lost her senses.

That is original sin. And its consequences? A.) Spiritual death. That is, the separation of man from God, the source of all goodness. B.) Bodily death. That is, the separation of the body from the soul, the return of the body to the earth. C.) The shattering and distortion of the "image." That is, darkness of mind, depravity and corruption of the heart, loss of independence, loss of free will, and tendency towards evil. Since then "the imagination of man's heart is evil "(Genesis 8:21). Man constantly thinks of evil. D.) Guilt. That is, a bad conscience, the shame that made him want to hide from God. E.) Worst of all, original sin is hereditary. It did not remain only Adam and Eve's. As life passes from them to all of their descendants, so does original sin. We all of us participate in original sin because we are all descended from the same forefather, Adam. This creates a problem for many people. They ask, Why should we be responsible for the actions of Adam and Eve? Why should we have to pay for the sins of our parents? they say. Unfortunately, this is so, because the consequence of original sin is the distortion of the nature of man. Of course, this is unexplainable and belongs to the realm of mystery, but we can give one example to make it somewhat better understood. Let us say that you have a wild orange tree, from which you make a graft. You will get domesticated oranges, but the root will still be that of the wild orange tree. To have wild oranges again, you must regraft the tree. This is what Christ came for and achieved for fallen man, as we shall see in the following sections.

Our Creator and Maker, ours is the fault. Adam and Eve, listening to Satan, blasphemed. Out of egotism, they allowed themselves to be misled. They distorted the "image." They darkened the beauty of the soul. They weakened the nature of mankind. Because of them, we became unrecognizable. "The imagination of our heart is evil." We constantly think of evil. We feel so guilty. We are so far away from You. We have been grafted to evil. We have lost our self-control and our free will to do good. We thank You for Your love, and for sending Your Only-begotten Son to regraft us to goodness. For giving us the possibility of returning to You. You, Lord "want every man to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." Do not deprive us of this. Do not deprive anyone of salvation. We thank You Lord.

3:15 και εχθραν θησω ανα μεσον σου και ανα μεσον της γυναικος και ανα μεσον του σπερματος σου και ανα μεσον του σπερματος αυτης αυτος σου τηρησει κεφαλην και συ τηρησεις αυτου πτερναν

Άπολυτίκιον. Ήχος δ'. Ταχύ προκατάλαβε.
Βασίλειον διάδημα, εστέφθη ση κορυφή, εξ άθλων ων ύπέμεινας, υπέρ Χριστού του Θεού, Μαρτύρων Πρωτόαθλε Στέφανε· συ γαρ την Ιουδαίων, απελέγξας μανίαν, είδες σου τον Σωτήρα, του Πατρός δεξιόθεν. Αυτόν ούν έκδυσώπει αεί, υπέρ των ψυχών ημών.

Αυτοί που πιστεύουν στον θεό των κατασκευασμένων θρησκειών (Χριστιανισμός , Μωαμεθανισμός κτλ) είναι ουσιαστικά οπαδοί του ΣΑΤΑΝΑ.
ΜΗΝ ΚΡΙΝΕΙΣ ΕΞ ΙΔΙΩΝ ΤΑ ΑΛΛΟΤΡΙΑ...
Αφού πιστεύουν και υπερασπίζονται κάτι ψεύτικο και όχι κάτι αληθινό.
Ο ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ ΕΙΝΑΙ Η ΑΛΗΘΕΙΑ, ΕΙΝΑΙ Η ΜΟΝΗ ΑΛΗΘΕΙΑ...
Αφού πιστεύετε σε ψεύτες και απατεώνες δηλαδή είστε ουσιαστικά υποστηρικτές του κακού , είτε συνειδητά είτε άθελα σας στην γλώσσα σας λοιπόν είστε οπαδοί του ΔΙΑΒΟΛΟΥ.
ΕΙΣΑΙ ΚΑΙ ΦΑΙΝΕΣΑΙ...

Ο θεός είναι μια υπέρτατη δύναμη , και καμία σχέση δεν έχει με το παραμυθάκι του Χριστιανικού και των άλλων ιερατείων.
Ο ΘΕΟΣ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΠΡΟΣΩΠΙΚΟΣ, ΑΚΤΙΣΤΟΣ ΚΑΙ ΔΗΜΙΟΥΡΓΟΣ ΤΟΥ ΣΥΜΠΑΝΤΟΣ...

Οι χριστιανοί θεωρούν τους εαυτούς τους υπεράνω των άλλων διότι έχουν την ιδιαιτερότητα να πιστεύουν ότι είναι οι πρώτοι που λατρεύουν έναν και όχι πολλούς θεούς και αυτό το αντιλαμβάνονται ως ανωτερότητα.
Η ΑΝΩΤΕΡΟΤΗΤΑ ΤΗΣ ΠΙΣΤΗΣ ΜΑΣ ΒΡΙΣΚΕΤΑΙ ΣΤΟ ΠΡΟΣΩΠΟ ΤΟΥ ΘΕΑΝΘΡΩΠΟΥ, ΟΣΤΙΣ ΕΝΗΝΘΡΩΠΗΣΕ ΓΙΑ ΝΑ ΜΑΣ ΞΑΝΑΒΑΛΕΙ ΣΤΟΝ ΠΑΡΑΔΕΙΣΟ...

ΔΙΑΒΑΖΟΝΤΑΣ ΤΗΝ ΑΓΙΑ ΓΡΑΦΗ θα ανακαλύψεις πολλά φοβερά και τρομερά.
Η ΕΡΜΗΝΕΙΑ ΤΗΣ ΑΓΙΑΣ ΓΡΑΦΗΣ ΔΕΝ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΔΙΚΗ ΣΟΥ ΔΟΥΛΕΙΑ...
Παραθέτω το αγαπημένο μου:

Γένεσις 6/στ΄ 1-4

1. Και εγένετο ηνίκα ήρξαντο οι άνθρωποι πολλοί γίνεσθαι επί τής γης, και θυγατέρες εγεννήθησαν αυτοίς. 2. Ιδόντες δε οι υιοί τού Θεού τας θυγατέρας τών ανθρώπων ότι καλαί εισίν, έλαβον εαυτοίς γυναίκας από πασών, ων εξελέξαντο. 3. Και είπε Κύριος ο Θεός: ΄΄Ου μη καταμείνει το πνεύμά μου εν τοις ανθρώποις τούτοις εις τον αιώνα δια το είναι αυτούς σάρκας, έσονται δε αι ημέραι αυτών 120 έτη΄΄.
4. Οι δε γίγαντες ήσαν επί τής γης εν ταις ημέραις εκείναις. και μετ’ εκείνο, ως αν εισεπορεύοντο οι υιοί τού Θεού προς τας θυγατέρας τών ανθρώπων, και εγεννώσαν εαυτοίς. Εκείνοι ήσαν οι γίγαντες οι απ’ αιώνος, οι άνθρωποι οι ονομαστοί.

Πες μου λοιπόν
Ποιοι ήταν οι υιοί του θεού;
ΕΙΝΑΙ ΟΙ ΑΠΟΓΟΝΟΙ ΤΟΥ ΑΔΑΜ ΠΟΥ ΗΤΑΝ ΔΙΚΑΙΟΙ

Γιατί γλυκοκοιτάγανε τις κόρες των ανθρώπων;(Ιδόντες δε οι υιοί τού Θεού τας θυγατέρας τών ανθρώπων ότι καλαί εισίν,)
ΩΣ ΑΝΘΡΩΠΟΙ ΣΑΡΚΑ ΦΟΡΟΥΝΤΕΣ ΚΑΙ ΤΩ ΚΟΣΜΩ ΟΙΚΟΥΝΤΕΣ...
Ποιοι ήταν οι γίγαντες;
ΟΙ ΓΙΓΑΝΤΕΣ...
Γιατί οι υιοί του θεού κάνανε σεξ με τις γυναίκες; (εισεπορεύοντο οι υιοί τού Θεού προς τας θυγατέρας τών ανθρώπων, και εγεννώσαν εαυτοίς)
ΓΙΑ ΝΑ ΚΑΝΟΥΝ ΠΑΙΔΙΑ...
Γιατί λες ψέματα και με αναγκάζεις να σε λεω οπαδό του ΔΙΑΒΟΛΟΥ;
ΕΙΣΑΙ ΤΡΕΛΟΣ. ΕΣΥ ΕΙΣΑΙ Ο ΨΕΥΤΗΣ ΚΑΙ ΕΣΥ ΕΙΣΑΙ ΟΠΑΔΟΣ ΤΟΥ ΔΙΑΒΟΛΟΥ...

Αφού οι προθέσεις σου είναι καλές και μάλλον είσαι και καλός άνθρωπος.
ΓΙΝΕ ΚΑΙ ΕΣΥ...

Γιατί λοιπόν λες ότι ο Χριστός ως γιος του Θεού είναι Τέλειος;
ΑΦΟΥ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΘΕΟΣ, ΤΙ ΗΘΕΛΕΣ ΝΑ ΕΙΝΑΙ;...
Είχε και άλλους γιους ο Θεός;
ΕΜΕΙΣ ΕΙΜΑΣΤΕ ΥΙΟΙ ΚΑΤΑ ΧΑΡΙΝ...
Κόρες είχε; Ή μόνο γιους;
ΓΙΑΤΙ ΧΡΗΣΙΜΟΠΟΙΕΙΣ ΠΑΡΕΛΘΟΝΤΙΚΟ ΧΡΟΝΟ;
Πόσο τέλειοι είναι οι υιού αυτού του θεού που υποκύπτανε στο πάθος τους για τις γυναίκες;
ΑΠΑΝΤΗΣΑ...

Genesis 1:29
And God said, See, I have given you every plant producing seed, on the face of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit producing seed: they will be for your food:

Genesis 2:8
And the Lord God made a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had made.

Genesis 2:9
And out of the earth the Lord made every tree to come, delighting the eye and good for food; and in the middle of the garden, the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

1 At the first God made the heaven and the earth.

2 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and a delight to the eyes, and to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit, and gave it to her husband.

3 But when the time had come, God sent out his Son, made of a woman, made under the law. That he might make them free who were under the law, and that we might be given the place of sons.

Jesus said to her, I am myself that day and that life; he who has faith in me will have life even if he is dead; And no one who is living and has faith in me will ever see death.

1:2 ουτος ην εν αρχη προς τον θεον

1:3 παντα δι αυτου εγενετο και χωρις αυτου εγενετο ουδε εν ο γεγονεν

1:4 εν αυτω ζωη ην και η ζωη ην το φως των ανθρωπων

1:5 και το φως εν τη σκοτια φαινει και η σκοτια αυτο ου κατελαβεν

1:6 εγενετο ανθρωπος απεσταλμενος παρα θεου ονομα αυτω ιωαννης

1:7 ουτος ηλθεν εις μαρτυριαν ινα μαρτυρηση περι του φωτος ινα παντες πιστευσωσιν δι αυτου

1:8 ουκ ην εκεινος το φως αλλ ινα μαρτυρηση περι του φωτος

1:9 ην το φως το αληθινον ο φωτιζει παντα ανθρωπον ερχομενον εις τον κοσμον

1:10 εν τω κοσμω ην και ο κοσμος δι αυτου εγενετο και ο κοσμος αυτον ουκ εγνω

1:11 εις τα ιδια ηλθεν και οι ιδιοι αυτον ου παρελαβον

1:12 οσοι δε ελαβον αυτον εδωκεν αυτοις εξουσιαν τεκνα θεου γενεσθαι τοις πιστευουσιν εις το ονομα αυτου

1:13 οι ουκ εξ αιματων ουδε εκ θεληματος σαρκος ουδε εκ θεληματος ανδρος αλλ εκ θεου εγεννηθησαν

1:14 και ο λογος σαρξ εγενετο και εσκηνωσεν εν ημιν και εθεασαμεθα την δοξαν αυτου δοξαν ως μονογενους παρα πατρος πληρης χαριτος και αληθειας

1:16 οτι εκ του πληρωματος αυτου ημεις παντες ελαβομεν και χαριν αντι χαριτος

1:17 οτι ο νομος δια μωυσεως εδοθη η χαρις και η αληθεια δια ιησου χριστου εγενετο

1:18 θεον ουδεις εωρακεν πωποτε μονογενης θεος ο ων εις τον κολπον του πατρος εκεινος εξηγησατο

1:19 και αυτη εστιν η μαρτυρια του ιωαννου οτε απεστειλαν [προς αυτον] οι ιουδαιοι εξ ιεροσολυμων ιερεις και λευιτας ινα ερωτησωσιν αυτον συ τις ει

1:20 και ωμολογησεν και ουκ ηρνησατο και ωμολογησεν οτι εγω ουκ ειμι ο χριστος

1:21 και ηρωτησαν αυτον τι ουν συ ηλιας ει και λεγει ουκ ειμι ο προφητης ει συ και απεκριθη ου

1:22 ειπαν ουν αυτω τις ει ινα αποκρισιν δωμεν τοις πεμψασιν ημας τι λεγεις περι σεαυτου

1:23 εφη εγω φωνη βοωντος εν τη ερημω ευθυνατε την οδον κυριου καθως ειπεν ησαιας ο προφητης

1:24 και απεσταλμενοι ησαν εκ των φαρισαιων

1:25 και ηρωτησαν αυτον και ειπαν αυτω τι ουν βαπτιζεις ει συ ουκ ει ο χριστος ουδε ηλιας ουδε ο προφητης

1:26 απεκριθη αυτοις ο ιωαννης λεγων εγω βαπτιζω εν υδατι μεσος υμων εστηκεν ον υμεις ουκ οιδατε

1:27 ο οπισω μου ερχομενος ου ουκ ειμι [εγω] αξιος ινα λυσω αυτου τον ιμαντα του υποδηματος

1:28 ταυτα εν βηθανια εγενετο περαν του ιορδανου οπου ην ο ιωαννης βαπτιζων

1:29 τη επαυριον βλεπει τον ιησουν ερχομενον προς αυτον και λεγει ιδε ο αμνος του θεου ο αιρων την αμαρτιαν του κοσμου

1:30 ουτος εστιν υπερ ου εγω ειπον οπισω μου ερχεται ανηρ ος εμπροσθεν μου γεγονεν οτι πρωτος μου ην

1:31 καγω ουκ ηδειν αυτον αλλ ινα φανερωθη τω ισραηλ δια τουτο ηλθον εγω εν υδατι βαπτιζων

1:32 και εμαρτυρησεν ιωαννης λεγων οτι τεθεαμαι το πνευμα καταβαινον ως περιστεραν εξ ουρανου και εμεινεν επ αυτον

1:33 καγω ουκ ηδειν αυτον αλλ ο πεμψας με βαπτιζειν εν υδατι εκεινος μοι ειπεν εφ ον αν ιδης το πνευμα καταβαινον και μενον επ αυτον ουτος εστιν ο βαπτιζων εν πνευματι αγιω

1:34 καγω εωρακα και μεμαρτυρηκα οτι ουτος εστιν ο υιος του θεου

1:35 τη επαυριον παλιν ειστηκει ο ιωαννης και εκ των μαθητων αυτου δυο

1:36 και εμβλεψας τω ιησου περιπατουντι λεγει ιδε ο αμνος του θεου

1:37 και ηκουσαν οι δυο μαθηται αυτου λαλουντος και ηκολουθησαν τω ιησου

1:38 στραφεις δε ο ιησους και θεασαμενος αυτους ακολουθουντας λεγει αυτοις τι ζητειτε οι δε ειπαν αυτω ραββι ο λεγεται μεθερμηνευομενον διδασκαλε που μενεις

1:39 λεγει αυτοις ερχεσθε και οψεσθε ηλθαν ουν και ειδαν που μενει και παρ αυτω εμειναν την ημεραν εκεινην ωρα ην ως δεκατη

1:40 ην ανδρεας ο αδελφος σιμωνος πετρου εις εκ των δυο των ακουσαντων παρα ιωαννου και ακολουθησαντων αυτω

1:41 ευρισκει ουτος πρωτον τον αδελφον τον ιδιον σιμωνα και λεγει αυτω ευρηκαμεν τον μεσσιαν ο εστιν μεθερμηνευομενον χριστος

1:42 ηγαγεν αυτον προς τον ιησουν εμβλεψας αυτω ο ιησους ειπεν συ ει σιμων ο υιος ιωαννου συ κληθηση κηφας ο ερμηνευεται πετρος

1:43 τη επαυριον ηθελησεν εξελθειν εις την γαλιλαιαν και ευρισκει φιλιππον και λεγει αυτω ο ιησους ακολουθει μοι

1:44 ην δε ο φιλιππος απο βηθσαιδα εκ της πολεως ανδρεου και πετρου

1:45 ευρισκει φιλιππος τον ναθαναηλ και λεγει αυτω ον εγραψεν μωυσης εν τω νομω και οι προφηται ευρηκαμεν ιησουν υιον του ιωσηφ τον απο ναζαρετ

1:46 και ειπεν αυτω ναθαναηλ εκ ναζαρετ δυναται τι αγαθον ειναι λεγει αυτω [ο] φιλιππος ερχου και ιδε

1:47 ειδεν ο ιησους τον ναθαναηλ ερχομενον προς αυτον και λεγει περι αυτου ιδε αληθως ισραηλιτης εν ω δολος ουκ εστιν

1:48 λεγει αυτω ναθαναηλ ποθεν με γινωσκεις απεκριθη ιησους και ειπεν αυτω προ του σε φιλιππον φωνησαι οντα υπο την συκην ειδον σε

1:49 απεκριθη αυτω ναθαναηλ ραββι συ ει ο υιος του θεου συ βασιλευς ει του ισραηλ

1:50 απεκριθη ιησους και ειπεν αυτω οτι ειπον σοι οτι ειδον σε υποκατω της συκης πιστευεις μειζω τουτων οψη

1:51 και λεγει αυτω αμην αμην λεγω υμιν οψεσθε τον ουρανον ανεωγοτα και τους αγγελους του θεου αναβαινοντας και καταβαινοντας επι τον υιον του ανθρωπου
