the forbidden, the knowledge of good AND evil... to know evil is to lose the oneness with
God that existed before the Fall. We can be one with God through His Son and live forever
in the next world - until this world is transformed to Him at the end, and a new Heaven
and new Earth is restored... the restoration of all things, all created things in time.
Some Israelites believed in the resurrection of all things even before Christ was incarnate.
You could look at Isaiah, Daniel or 2 Maccabees (your Protestant Bible is incomplete and
doesn't have that book)
Christ did not marry and bear children, neither did Adam and Eve until after they sinned.
St. Paul says it is better not to marry.. Jesus said those who forsake sex for the Kingdom
of Heaven are blessed. Consecrated virgins existed before Christ and after.
Lust is a result of our sinful condition. The proper blessing of God in Holy Matrimony is a
the only proper use of the lusting spirit according to God's will for us. It must be done with
love because through it, God creates another material life imbued with the spirit, all life
is from the spirit.. this is why your ejaculation is white, but only because it brings life, to
abuse that urge is sinful and comes from the sinful nature we inherited.
We are all descendants of the sin. We are mere reproductions of people from the past
only differentiated slightly but sprung from the same seed which is infected just like the
whole world is infected with evil. Sex as we know it is a direct result of sin.
Adam and Eve didn't even have any sexual organs before they ate evil and the world
became evil also... you can tell this from the curse of the soil and the serpents, animals
got nasty, the elements and nature turned against us somewhat. Destruction came.
The duality of everything was a result of the Fall.
Sun/Moon. Two eyes. Two arms. Two legs. Two sides (ribs). Two sexes.
We can go on and on with the duality. Life/Death. Love/Hate. Good/Evil.
In/Out. High/Low, all of it. Male/Female.
All this was a result of Satan (who was already on Earth) deceiving us
into rebelling against God like it did. By partaking of the evil we KNEW good AND evil.
