Leviticus 19:19
Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.
Since English is not your first language, perhaps a more modern translation will help to convey more readily the meaning of these Scriptures….no one speaks archaic English any more….the words and phrasing can be confusing, especially to those not acquainted with it.
Leviticus 19:19 for example, reads in a more modern English translation….
“‘You should keep my statutes: You must not interbreed two sorts of your domestic animals. You must not sow your field with two sorts of seed, and you must not wear a garment made with two sorts of thread mixed together.”
Why was this mandated?
For animals, God is the Creator and he made them perfect, even in closely related domestic animals, they were not to produce a new species, as if God’s creation needed improving. There is a genetic barrier as well so that the resulting offspring is invariably sterile.
Sowing one’s field with two kinds of seed may have been similar to the law at Deut 22:9…..
“You must not sow your vineyard with two sorts of seed, for fear that the full produce of the seed that you might sow and the product of the vineyard may be forfeited to the sanctuary.”
Sowing a field this way resulted in forfeiting the crop.
Seeds of different kinds could be sown, each kind in separate places in the same field, which may have been to keep the Israelites mindful of their separateness and distinctness as God’s people, under his Kingship.
And the mixing of threads, it seems that only the priests were to wear garments of mixed threads, Garments of the general population were of various colors, variegated, and striped, and some were embroidered. Varieties of weave existed. The high priest’s white linen robe was woven “in checkerwork.”…often with wool interwoven….the fine linen was a symbol of purity.
Essentially, God is not allowed to graft seeds.
I‘m not sure what this means…can you explain?
But since Satan could impose the tree of good and evil on Adam and Eve, God could also impose the tree of life on humanity.
Again, I am not sure that “impose” is the right word here.
Satan knew that he could not force the humans to obey him, but if he could deceive the woman (newer and less educated than the man) and encourage her to give the fruit also to her husband, (showing him that she did not die) the devil would be able to separate them from their God by their disobedience and become a god and master to them himself. (Rom 6:16)
An immediate barrier was created by their sin, necessitating the need for a “mediator” to communicate between God and his human creation. (1 Tim 2:5-6)
But technically, it's not a mixture of two seeds.
There is only one seed can grow the Fruit of life.Those who follow Jesus Christ.
God had many trees in the garden, all planted by himself….all varieties were available to the humans to eat as they chose, but only two were distinguished by God….one was life giving, and the other was death dealing.
Access to the first one was freely available to them, until they ate of the second one, and immediately the first one was barred…..access denied! And they were evicted from paradise.
Because the first humans to disobey God,so everyone need to represent to obey God.
Eat it means disobey God.
Jesus Christ is the Fruit of life. If we eat it then we will obey the God.
To disobey God meant death, but not straight away….they were permitted to “fill the earth” with their children first. Adam and his wife had many children (sons and daughters as it says in Genesis 5:4-5)
And the population grew until the flood of Noah’s day…but by then sin and demonic interference had so warped the population, that drastic measures were needed to put a stop to the moral decay.
God facilitated a reset, bringing the human race back to just eight righteous people, and starting again.
Satan's motive comes from his cunning, if Satan is the ancient serpent, because God only made it cunning.
Revelation identifies the “original serpent“ as satan the devil. But was he really a snake? Or did he just use a snake to deceive the woman? Angels have the ability to materialize, so perhaps he even manifested himself as a serpent….? We don’t really know, but we do know that the serpent’s days are just about to come to an end, and he will be dealt with by Jesus Christ, throwing him and his minions into a deep abyss whilst the human race, redeemed by Jesus sacrifice, will be brought back to the perfection that Adam first enjoyed at the beginning. Then he will be released one last time to test out the now perfect human race.(Rev 20:1-3)
Between the second coming of Jesus and the Revelation.
Yes, I believe that too, but elements of the Revelation are unfolding as we speak.
Let's start with the Book of Revelation about the seven churches, each pointing out their mistakes, but since then, The mistakes of the church never stopped.
I agree….the church system is sadly flawed….and those who claim to be “Christians” for the most part do not behave in a way that Jesus would approve. He told us to be “no part of the world” but the churches are up to their necks in it. Participating in corrupt politics….shedding blood in nationalistic wars….and adopting all manner of immorality and justifying it.
For since man learned to discern good from evil, the errors of man and the errors of the church have been based on the stratagems of Satan. Therefore, the so-called " justice " established in various names in the world is futile and false. Because humans have been struggling under Satan's schemes, this can only be changed if people truly understand God's word.
Again I agree, but in stating from the beginning that man was not given the option to decide what was good and evil for themselves, relying on God to tell them the difference was vital. As we see ever since, man has been calling evil “good”, and good “evil”. He clearly does not know the difference.
Man was not created to rule himself or to make up his own laws…he was created by God with free will, but it was only to be exercised within the parameters that had his approval. Free will was a blessing under God’s terms, but under man’s terms with the devil’s influence, it became a curse.
Because as Jesus Christ said on the cross,
The Gospel of Luke 23:34
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
He was asking forgiveness for the Roman soldiers who were just following orders…he was not asking forgiveness for the wicked men who orchestrated his murder. Even Pilate knew that he was innocent.
He had already condemned the religious leaders to “Gehenna”. (Matt 23:33)
