Hey, that’s an interpretation you’ll hear in Catholic circles, but none of it is really rooted in the Bible. The words “Fall,” “Original Sin,” etc., are not found in the text, and Judaism completely rejects them. That should be a clue? Jews are pretty good with the Torah. Better than Catholics, perhaps.

What seems to have happened in Eden is that humans became sexual and reproductive. They were then put into mortal bodies, which means they had to die. But the ‘resurrection’ has humans being re-embodied into new forms. It’s not tragic. It’s cycles of change. Transformations into higher beings. Perhaps ascending a ladder into deity.
