#The fall of Adam and Eve

Salvation from Sin and its Consequences

Our salvation is necessary because of the problem of sin. The word sin is found throughout Scripture, and both the Hebrew and Greek share the same basic meaning. The Hebrew word chata (חָטָא) means “to miss the target, or to lose the way,”[1] and the Greek word hamartanō (ἁμαρτάνω) is defined as “miss the mark, err, or do wrong.”[2] In Judges 20:16 the Hebrew word is used of skilled soldiers who…

Hell hath no fury... like the queen of hell's rage.

>>>><<<<

Wanted to do some of that crazy eye stuff and this idea popped up. What if, while disobedience was the reason, the cause of all hell breaking loose was heaven going torches and pitchforks, and Lucifer breaking apart over it?

Basically like the Mastermind trial, or Emily and Charlie's call out duet... but it ended horrifically. Creation's first witch trial/witch hunt

You know that trope where a hard-ass guy does all sorts of bad-assery to protect/avenge/rescue a loved one? that's how I want Lilith to be. Lilith 'rage against the heavens' Morningstar will do whatever it takes to protect her family and her new home.

She went back to help Eve out of that forced marriage she'd escaped from. She could do nothing but watch as the one angel who treated earthborns with respect got torn apart. Never again.

She's just as traumatized as Lucifer. But if Lucifer went down the path of despair, Lilith is down the path of fury. Fierce independence becomes raging overprotective defiance.

She's the one who nurtured and led hell's society while Lucifer's the power that enforced it. Hell defers more to Lucifer, but Lucifer defers to Lilith.

Eve Reincarnation!AU

*He/she/they pronouns for Eve

Eve was bored. Heaven's wonders could only entertain her for so long. And she was sick of the pity and condescension.

For all that Lucifer was damned to the hell he created for his actions, he at least had Lilith with him to bare the burden.

She was not so lucky. Adam would sooner die a second death than take accountability. And the angels regarded her alone with mixed pity and suspicion.

Adam thrived in heaven, but it stifled her like nothing else. Eternal peace was stagnant; she missed Earth and eagerly watched the planet and her descendents antics with curiosity.

It was her who first put forth the idea of reincarnation. But Sera, bewildered by her desire to leave heaven and wary of having her alive after her first fuckup (honestly, eat one fruit and they never let you forget it!), dismissed her.

It was just her luck that Adam, who ran his mouth faster than his brain could keep up, bragged about getting the Seraphim to agree to his yearly hell extermination where her request had been rejected.

And wasn't it just grand that it was supposed to be a secret? Wouldn't it be a shame for that to get out, right, Sera?

Her reincarnation request was approved. She was the first and only soul to be granted this. Per her request, heaven would be barred from viewing or interfering with her new life.

And it was wonderful! They had a new life, a new name, a new gender! And no one to hold them back and say 'remember the apple, Eve?'

Then they died. And back to heaven they went, unknowing of their past life as Eve. Until Sera accousted them before they'd even made it through the gate.

Sera conjured a glowing white apple and offered it to them. Their curiosity had followed them to this next life so they accepted and the Seraphim smiled sardonically and said, 'Welcome back Eve.'

But they. weren't. EVE! Not anymore. Or at least they were not JUST eve.

But being the only soul to reincarnate, the angels just didn't understand that. Nor would Sera care to, she allowed Adam and Eve's requests only if she could ignore the consequences.

The human who once was Eve, decided to reincarnate again. Anything to escape their dreary eternity in heaven.

And then he died. And Sera offered him the apple, said, 'Welcome back Eve' and on and on the cycle continued.

He tried to lead his next few lifetimes into sin, maybe in hell they'd get at least some of the excitement she'd loved from Earth.

She had no clue how she kept getting into heaven. Over the course of several different lives, they'd committed all sorts of sins. And yet it never stuck.

So they struck a deal, and in his next life, she finally got what she'd been craving.

Eternal Entertainment.

Welcome to hell, Alastor.

“the fall of the damned;” - peter paul rubens

[zorlok-if]

Thinking about Dev sitting at the counter in Nel's Diner at 6am just drinking a cup of coffee, not having slept the night before. Detective Park sitting in the same seat 16 hours later drinking a cup of chamomile tea, knowing it won't help them finally get to sleep. Both thinking about the other with pained, nostalgic hatred, welling up with hurt from all the things they've left unsaid.

Adam and Eve in Paradise (one of four panels), Jan Polack, ca. 1480

[paisley-constellations]

something something the eyepocalypse is a direct parallel to The Fall from the Bible, with the statements mirroring the fruit of Good and Evil which also represents knowledge, something which jon/adam and eve are unable to resist, inadvertently causing the downfall of their races

adam and eve from nier automata 🤝 stan and ford gravity falls

sibling pair where one of them is an ambiguously queer researcher with a deep sense of isolation who goes through lengths that end up being incredibly harmful for the sake of knowledge, and the other is their foil who would do damn near anything to be with them and got roped into the "lengths that end up being incredibly harmful" because of that

...i have to express from the bottom of my heart that these are two INCREDIBLY different stories. one of them is a post-apocalyptic jrpg that goes into incredibly layered philosophical discussions, the other is a goddamn disney cartoon. i don't even know whatever trick of fate happened so i could be into them at the same time to notice this hyper-specific parallel.

You're allowed to ascend but only if God wants you to, and God can be a bit of an authoritarian bastard

[ana-cantskywalker]

If I had a nickel for every time a folk band I adored released an album meant to be listened to in order, which tells the story of the fall of man/ a prodigal son character (one of them is both), started with man being close to God then followed his journey of rejecting him, realizing his life was empty without him, and eventually returning back to God, had consistent themes and motifs woven through it, and ended with a reprise of the first song to represent the restoration of fellowship,

I'd only have two nickels

but it is weird that it happened twice
