One Question You Must Ask Yourself Before You Eat The Forbidden Fruit

"After eating the forbidden fruit, what next?"

Because it's usually regret that follows, hence that's one question we must ask ourselves beforehand, when the urge to eat it becomes so strong as though we won't survive or would die if we didn't eat it.

What next, after we've eaten of it?

What next, after we finally got a taste of that which we so desperately craved?

Would it be worth the trouble?

Would the hype or craving prior to eating it meet up with what follows?

The most deceptive about forbidden fruits is that beforehand it makes people feel like it's the solution to their problems in life, so once they got a taste of it, all their problems would be solved. So they'd damn all the consequences, however only to end up bitterly disappointed afterwards, when their eyes suddenly become opened to the realization that the forbidden fruit wasn't what it appeared to be.

That's how Adam and Eve got us to this miserable point we found ourselves. Of all the fruits in the garden of Eden which God had given them freedom to eat, it was the one which God commanded them not to touch that they thought they couldn't survive without.

But guess what? They finally tasted of that fruit they desperately desired, but after that, what next?

Regrets, regrets, and more regrets as their eyes became open to realize the craving wasn't worth it.

The woman who thought it would solve her problems, was now filled with regret knowing she had been deceived by the lying serpent. Genesis 3:13

The man who was so proud of the woman after God gave her to him, that he called her "the bone of my bones" and "flesh of my flesh" now saw her as the enemy and a stranger, calling her "the woman you gave me." Genesis 2:23, 3:12.

The forbidden fruit at the time meant just one thing to Adam and Eve. It was the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil which God had commanded not to eat of after He made them in the beginning.

Today it means a lot things, but it was from that one thing in the beginning, even the forbidden fruit that Adam and Eve ate that all of them emerged. The forbidden fruit was the seed they sowed into their lives in the beginning which brought about that harvest of forbidden fruits we have today.

So was it worth eating the fruit?

All the consequences, the sufferings, the regrets, the pain, the poverty, the enmity, the complications, the famines, the disasters, the diseases, the deaths, etc?

The next time we find ourselves in a situation where it appears as though we cannot survive without eating the forbidden fruit, let's ask ourselves the question, after we've done that, what next?

Although yours may not have the kind of widespread and devastating impact the sin of Adam and Eve had on humanity, there are still damning consequences for any and every forbidden fruit that is eaten, so it's important that before we make those defining decisions we ask ourselves such a question, so we don't do things in a brief moment that would make us live in regret for the rest of our lives.

God bless.

Nice one sir...


But I have an input, in my mind, I still think that we will still ask questions even after making heaven(if it exists).

Cause at that point you'll look at forgone alternatives one did to make heaven. And a fun fact is that the joy they described about heaven doesn't even suit everyone's cravings

Groovy checking his dick to know if it's small as beauty said

Learn to comprehend a question before contributing your two cents.. Others who answered the question are not fools, they know all are bad but they still gave an answer nonetheless.

Thanks for the lecture.
Likewise appreciate other people views regardless of the fact that they don align with yours before commenting you four cents
People still have a very different opinion and must not be aligned with the public .

I saw this somewhere on Facebook

-Who is more deadly among these three groups of people and who is the patriot

1. The politician who robs his own country to feed his greed
2. The Internet fraudster who robs foreigners and then bring the money into his country
3. The EFCC who only chases after internet fraudsters, never the politicians.

They are same and all deadly.

dplordx:
Obi is a total and absolute fraud. And his followers are just exactly his image. Lies, edited rubbish, and total absolute falsehood.

Anyways, can our BATified folks share this on their whatapps until it gets to everyone we know. This is shared by on my whatapps by on my whatapps by one Mr. Tee:


This is really confusing: i mean, Tinubu claimed he built the future city that became the modern Lagos where most Nigerian youths are living and thriving - today it is the 7th most powerful economy in Africa, it has a port which he envisioned and which became functional in June 2022 and a over 2000 real estates sprouting all over the state with the biggest US embassy in the world been built in it; one claimed he built a city called Anambra and invested some million of USD, today people are running away from the same city to Lagos due to lack of opportunities, lack of facilities and high level of insecurity. Even the same Obi lives in Lagos with his family and millions of his tribesmen. I mean, why are the people campaigning for this super-visionary who transformed Anambra to Dubai yet not living there, why are they not in its towns, and its skyscrapers and Atlantic cities -- why are they majorly in the same Lagos and campaigning for a man who today has nothing but stories and tales of how he invested and created changes. I am a lagosian from Ikorodu, I have been to Anambra and served in Nimo, this is a state id never in my entire life in. And I can tell, very few tribes are living there simply because of its deficit of infrastructure and its abundance of extremely visionless leaders like Obi. In 2021 Lagos generated ₦540 billion, Anambra generated ₦1.4 Billion naira. Peter Obi met Anambra IGR at 1.2 billion and left at exactly 1.2 billion. Tinubu met Lagos IGR at 1.1 billion naira and left it ar over 30 billion. Today, Lagos attracted over 83% FDI—Foreign Direct Invest in Nigeria, Anambra attracted 0%. I mean, I sincerely want to vote for Peter Obi, but as an academician and an intellectual, — i am not a cow and won’t just start campaigning for someone simply because it feels safe and popular, I am really confused. And it isn’t about Lagos been a former capital city, we all see what the present governor of Ebonyi has accomplished with little revenue, and what former Governor Ibikunle Amosun did in Ogun state, also I have been Akwa Ibom recently and was dazzled by the progress made by Akpabio and Udom. Anambra never had it bad with PO who you guys are hailing; I mean, what are the real legacies of this man beside some BS tales by moonlight about how he kept some money in some beer business and offshore account: beside Lagos was generating 1.1 billion naira annually before Tinubu, today it is 300% ahead of the entire SE combined interns of IGR and investments; pls kindly educate me and pls no insults — just tell me why Anamabra today isn’t a place where non-indigenous and foreign investments are massively going to.

Remove the ports from Lagos, what will it be?

Make Onitsha port functional and we will talk again in 4 years....

Why do Lagos jealously fight against Making Onitsha a Seaport?

Okay...

It's good to enjoy the Show for those that like it.

But let's not be distracted from the main game come February next year ..

We need to get it right...

jackcanfield:
What happens if the candidate resign few months to the election and needs to be replaced, shey you na go bring money print another one.. that is if there is time sef.

Them don't print until the time for changing candidates expires

He has the state house of Assembly to check him.


But unfortunately, they are all the same.

I still have this believe that marriage is not for everyone. We can still live a very fulfilled life without getting married.

GeneralPula:
Guys will rush in to DM her not knowing it’s another yahoo boy behind the account..

COMRADE FLESH AND BLOOD DID NOT REVEAL THIS TO YOU RATHER ITS WAS THE VAWLENCE HIGH COMMAND.

I tend to wonder if it's not the Anambra I know under Obiano





Power of media

And What is RENO OMOKIRI doing now if not attacking him?

Like seriously, theses guys are seriously determined to tarnish his image.

Why don't Mr. reno concentrate on Projecting his Principal to win. Rather than attacking Peter Obi

But ain't science against the teaching of your church? How come you're using their observation to support your claims?

Losing relevance

Okay. This is getting interesting

Tinubu is impressive. I admire him.
He's fantastic. And his political acumen needs to be studied.


But I'm still Positively OBIdient to Peter Obi

Honestly I admire Tinubu.
I really do.

The way the man plays his politics is amazing and fantastic


But I'll vote for Obi Peter

Marcofranz:
This really is not necessary He only gave you a warning.

He would have contacted the governor privately.
He (priest) has Soludo contact.

This is what you get when you try an educated man.

It's an eye opener for people failing for prophesy of doom from this people.

I love the reply.

Chaos and anarchy borne out of perceived social Injustice

Imagine supporting a two term Governor to go and continue in the Senate.

I tend to imagine, what else is he going there to do in that he could not do as a Governor...

Useless set of youths that have mortgaged their future for crumbs of naira notes.

Simple question, someone who finished 8 years as a governor, what else does he want to do?

If they can answer that question, then they will vote him out

I stand for no Ex Governor to be elected to the house of the Senate. They are not born to rule and Senate is not a retirement home.

Its a pity that there is a mass movement for us to get it right come 2023.
But then the so called PARTY DELEGATES are frustrating the effort by returniing the worst candidates as flag bearer.

There's nothing like Kuka's.
He owns no church. He's just a Bishop

HE was apparently pissed off.

Now watch and see as they will come for his head.

Its nothing. Most of us do it. Just a peep wont hurt.

ElijahIme1992:
The bishops do attend but the problem is you don't want to make your research and find out you guys prefer to jump on the bandwagon and just criticize because of the prejudice you guys carry inside of you against Christianity and men of God...

I hold no prejudice rather it's you who has refused to be emphatic on the truth by deploying tactics to thwart it.

You know for fact that the OP Ugezu is right. It's not hidden that money is church, that's why more blessing is proclaimed on a rich man that just came to bazaar ndị donated 1 million while the poor man that gave #100 is ... You know the rest
How many times have you seen Bishops condemn the political Elites? Or don't you think they know them? Or maybe they are doing well. Except Bishop Kukah ...

ElijahIme1992:
Even Jesus Christ did not attend all the weddings in Jerusalem, Jesus did not heal all the sick people in the land.. During when Jesus was walking the earth people still died.. So how do you expect a bishop to attend every burial? That is why there are reverend father's to conduct the burial or wedding.. There is something I have noticed about this generation you guys just criticize men of God anyhow but you guys are not even better than the least man of God...

Why are you derailing from his point.
He said they BISHOPS don't attend not that they should attend all.
Stick to the line of argument

Righteousness2:
Sir Don't Deceive yourself! Don't let anyone Deceive you.

The Merciful GOD now is a Judgemental GOD after Death.
The Lamb of GOD now is a Lion and terror after Death.
There is no Repentance after Death.
Make use of the opportunity now there is Life. Mercy Expires at Death.

Oga shut the Bleep up.
Are you now creating God? Are giving him a rule to follow? Remember He's the one in Charge and does what he like. If he wants to raise a sinner to heaven, you or I or anyone can do nothing about it .

Stop creating God with your bitter and vindictive spirit.

Beautiful

I support the zoning not because its a sure a concrete way or avenue to democratic dividend.
I support it because it is an avenue to Stop the greedy senator who has been in the senate for long and wants to retire with Enugu State.
Anything to stop Ekweremmadu, I support. Enugu state is not his private property. Enugu West can be but not the whole of Enugu. Say No to Greedy Politicians.

Serves in Nasarawa but died in Jos.

I guess she sought for medical help before losing the fight
