“Ye shall not die.” An obvious lie. Everybody does, even Jesus Christ did and he is God. And the devil said unto him, “All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be...

So in fact 'mankind' did not pass on God's message to 'womankind' accurately. Furthermore 'Adam' (if you prefer to personify mankind), did not make any move at all to prevent Eve from being deceived, nor stop her from taking and eating. That was why womankind, 'the mother of all living' got it...

I think we need to be aware of the fact that Paul was using the character 'Adam' as a metaphor for the alienation of mankind from God through sin. God however was never alienated from mankind, as proven by the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, through which God in Christ appealed to...

Find me the one person held totally responsible for what went wrong for mankind in these verses and I will consider your reply to the rest of my post. Genesis 3:14-19

OK: I see no necessity whatever, to assume that Jesus is endorsing a literalist view of the historical existence of an individual man named Adam, (Adam actually means 'mankind'), based upon the fact that Jesus Christ quoted this scripture statement in support of the fact that God did not give...

I think it necessary first off to define what is meant by 'mythic' when referencing the biblical characters Adam and Eve. You seem to be thinking that the words 'mythical and 'mythic' are synonymous. Mythic means a heroic representative of an important spiritual or historical principal. It does...

That would be 8 then, much like myself, I guess. Adam and Eve though are, I believe, more mythic characters in a spiritual 'story', than just mythical. Stories are a valid medium through which God has breathed wisdom to mankind. Jesus told a lot of them, most of the time he was on earth. Most of...

Here is an incident which happened yesterday during a recording of our priest celebrating a Eucharist at our local parish church. At the most appropriate possible moment a coincidence happens which is recorded as a hisorical event you can watch yourself. I would like to believe it was actually a...

What you say seems eminently testable. Why not go with it? The Genesis narrative of Ch.2-5 says a whole lot more about human psychology than you have imagined. However it was never probably intended to provide humankind with a historical account of actual physical events. It is more likely a...

First off, the question is not the kind of question one should ask of Genesis Ch2-5. It is the same as asking "If little Red Riding Hood had refused to take the picnic basket to Granny, would the wolf not have eaten her"? The question implies that we can change the story to make it mean what we...

Ahh but does it? Adam, (according to the Biblical account in Genesis 2:4-7), was made the same day that God made the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:5, (if you care to read it that way), before plants or herbs, and before it ever rained on earth. No man existed to plough or till the ground and...

The Bible says absolutely nothing about the earth being ~6,000 years old. That is merely a humanly devised theory based upon the following preconceptions: 1. The age of the earth can be calculated by adding together the ages of a series of Biblical characters. 2. The ages given for these...

Depends how serious you are about discovering God exists and has an interst in you. Are you serious enough to fast and seek after Him, for three days and ask Him to answer some of the questions that are getting in the way of a relationship with Him. Have you seriously considered what your...

So in 10 years the end comes? Who knows? Probably not, if the amount of previous WRONG predictions by legion ardent 'Bible believers' is anything at all to go by. .
