the garden

 Much or all of the Bible is a parable.

 

Genesis 3[23] Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. [24] So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

 

in this passage Adam and Eve are kicked out of the garden. An angel is placed at the East with a flaming sword which turns every way to keep them away from the tree of Life. The flaming sword that turns every which way could be the Sun. The garden of Eden is somehow been hidden or destroyed in a different dimension. The tree of life is Jesus. The sun comes up in the east no matter where you are. Unless you're maybe directly on the North or South Pole or not on the planet. But under normal circumstances it always comes up in the east. So that sort of fits the two verses above. The flaming sword is to the east which means the sun comes up in the east and keeps them away all of us away from the other dimension where the tree of Life lives right now which is heaven. Now the only problem with this according to what I currently believe is that heaven is actually in a different dimension that's co-located around the Earth. So heaven really is up in the sky. That's why people live "in" heaven and on Earth. But the whole idea of the Sun being the flaming sword that turns every way is still worth considering.

There's an old saying let the punishment fit the crime. It seems like Eve really got sort of the maximum punishment. I could go on and on with all the horrible things that happened to women during childbirth. And how it sometimes kills them. It makes their boobs sag and their bellies flabby. It's incredibly painful, like s******* a basketball. I mean the punishment is administered billions and billions of times. But God is pumped a bunch of hormones into us that drives us to want to have this effect over and over and over until Jesus comes back. I'm not saying that God got carried away, but like men used to say, thank God I'm not a woman. But I'd be pretty thankful if I wasn't a Man too. That was one of Michael's angels I'd say thank you God thank you that I'm not a man or a woman going through the Earth. Now of course God could always make any punishment worse. And I didn't get three strikes. And frankly from what we can tell in the Bible they really weren't warned about the real horrors of what was going to happen. If death was like going into a dreamless sleep where you cease to exist then it'd be like well I guess I just flunked. But God has made the stakes so high it's incredibly scary.
