Psalms 78:25 (KJV)
Man did eat angels' food:
he sent them meat to the full.
Hmmm nice find!!:)!!
Now how did winged fowl cause them to die? As whoever. Ate the manna died.
How does it resemble dew?
How does it resemble wafers in taste? :)

That's the stuff I'm looking for! Very progressive Semper-Fi I commend you!

Mushrooms are not angel food.
The manna [did not] make them die.
winged fowl cause them to die?

Didn't Jesus say all who ate of the manna died, yet all who eat of My flesh shall live?
What does this mean to you?

All men are appointed to die.
The manna did not kill anyone.

Many people entered the promised land,
after eating manna in the wilderness.

John 6:49, KJV: "Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead." John 6:49, NASB: "'Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died." John 6:49, NLT: "Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died."

However I suppose there must've been survivors from the 40 years and not simply just descendants?

They died of old age, stuck in the
wilderness, not able to cross over,
not from eating manna.

There children that ate manna most all
there life entered the promised land.

Joshua 1:2 (KJV)
Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.

Why do so many never make the connection between the forbidden fruit and psychedelics?
I mean here are some reasonings, and relatabilities:
-Parents tell their children don't do drugs usually without giving them a seemingly valid reason not to
-when Adam ate the fruit his eyes were opened. (Whether literally metaphorically or dilated (not that there is much of a difference) it's still pretty evident)
-the fruit created a paranoia effect
-before hand they knew not the difference between good and evil, yet all of a sudden it seems to have flashed before their eyes
-it angered the Father that they disobeyed and they were cast out of the garden
-the serpent tempted eve much like a drug dealer might tempt someone to take acid or mushrooms claiming it's the best thing ever
-it seemed to cause them to feel naked when before they never seemed noticed, just as drugs might cause someone to toil in what seems like vanity to an outside source
-Adam and eve seemed lost
-psycadelics seem to be forbidden... atleast to most people

So is there any reason to believe the forbidden fruit was not a psycadelics drug, and preachers just don't put emphasis on it as such as to keep it in ancient context that they don't anger the world? (Though being a friend to the world they are depriving others of the truth, and thus leaving children vulnerable to experiment with many forbidden fruits because this story/parable is not taught correctly makes the story teller an enemy to God?)
Oh brother, now that's a stretch. I don't know of any psychadelic drugs that grow on trees. And by that logic, what would that make the tree of life? Let's not twist the Word into something out of our own imaginations, rather than what is clearly stated.

Mushrooms have more maggots than any other food source.
They can be paper thin and leafy.

Scripture still says it was bread.
Jesus was not the mushroom that came from heaven.

Spores travel by air like I stated earlier and God can direct the spores wherever He wants. I can compare a wafer to a mushroom in the way a mushroom can be broken in half.
In some cultures mushrooms are identified as 'flesh of the gods', and in some cultures mushrooms are literally a form of will power testing given by God.
I am not saying that it is 'flesh of the gods' yet merely that other cultures do.
Mushrooms left picked but not stored properly could infact cause maggots/worms to appear, if not overnight, definitely by the end of the week.
Whoever ate the manna died, but whoever eats Christs flesh will have everlasting life.

You cannot dismiss the theory just cause you are on a war against drugs.

I can dismiss a theory because it contradicts the Bible.

Scripture also says it was birds, and like wafers, and bread, and dew, and God's Word.
But with so many options I'd say it's possible it could've been mushrooms as well.

  • Here is one example of a psycadelic bark that creates a near death experience that grows on a tree.
Tabernanthe iboga - Wikipedia
Actually though I cannot find a tree fruit that is infact psychedelic. However if I were to say something like the fruit of marijuana is would ultimately be it's psychedelic leaves. So depending on a translation one could be talking of fruit in many different contexts.

Scripture also says it was birds,

No, the quail came first.
Exodus 16:8
"Moses said; 'you will know that it was the Lord when he gives you meat to eat in the evening and all the bread you want in the morning'."
Exodus 16:13
That evening quail came and covered the camp"

Scripture also says it was like wafers,

LIKE wafers.

Scripture also says it was ... dew,

Exodus 16:1
".... in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp. When the dew was gone, thin flakes, like frost, appeared ...."

But with so many options I'd say it's possible it could've been mushrooms as well.

YOU'D say it was possible - no-one, and nothing, else does.
There aren't any options; a layer of dew was on the ground, it disappeared and, in its place, were flakes of manna.

Sounds like mushrooms all right. They whither in the sun.
The texture is like bread.

Doesn't matter what it sounds like.
The text says Manna, and bread; why in the world does anyone think they have the liberty to change it to mushrooms?

Like I said, Jesus referenced this incident in John 6 and said he is the living bread that comes from heaven - you're not saying that the Son of God is fungus, surely?
