Adam

[IHaveQuestions]

For all you theistic evolutionists out there - do you believe Adam was a literal man or not. Why / Why not?

 

[Bizzlebin Imperatoris]

I think this belongs in the non Christion section. I don't know of any Christians, even some of the more evolutionary ones, who don't think Adam was real

Well just for the record I do know some

 

[Bizzlebin Imperatoris]

Really? I didn't know there were many, if any. Do they take the whole Bible as a literary work as opposed to a historical account?

 

[Captain_Jack_Sparrow]

What!! I didn't realise so many thought he was real.

No

 

[Bizzlebin Imperatoris]

Oh ok. I have never heard specifically of such a person or ever met one, so I really am unsure what the general beliefs among them are.

 

[Captain_Jack_Sparrow]

So you have never met many Catholics or Anglicans? The largest and third largest Christian sects on the planet?

Since I know you were not born on Antarctica, where you might not meet anyone of any Christian group, where have you been?

 

[Bizzlebin Imperatoris]

No, my parents were on military assignments when I was born, but my homeland is Antarctica. If you are implying there are no churches or Bibles in Antarctica, maybe you should come and see.

As for places I've been: all over. Right now I am with a group who is fighting heresy in the US. Soon, I'll be going up to Canada to work with some experts on sound doctrine. Once those errands are finished, back to Antarctica.

I have not met many Catholics or Anglicans in my journeys. At this point, I am simply looking to study pure scripture. I prefer not to associate with anyone who calls themselves Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant, etc. I try to stay away from divisions and stay around the Bible. The reason I am at this forum is to prepare me for later on in my life, in which I will need skills in the Bible the likes of which most people have never seen; it is something I must not fail in.

 

[Captain_Jack_Sparrow]

If your homeland is Antarctica - how old are you?

 

[Bizzlebin Imperatoris]

Are you now implying that if I am a certain age I can't be born in a certain place?

I don't think you'll get knowledge "the likes of which most people have never seen" on an internet newgroup...

One second thought,,, I'm sure God as MSN broadband by now..

 

[Bizzlebin Imperatoris]

Hehe. Indeed, so many people post questions which I'm sure could be answered by 2 seconds of reading the Bible, but this can train me. Some of the questions are ones that make you think about parts of your doctrine you never considered. Not only do I learn how to quickly find scripture, memorize verses, discern truth from heresy, and help other people, but I learn things that I will not even realize! This, of course, is not my only source of learning

Well then i'll keep my eye on you...

No I was just curious. I have been to Antarctica and pretty much i don't remember what you would call real towns. Just research facilities. Plus I am not sure but I thought the only people born there were stunts by the Chilieans and Argentinians to claim land rights.

 

[Bizzlebin Imperatoris]

Oh, I am in the process of building a church and a town right now, that is why I am away: gathering funds, support, and wisdom. But you are correct, at present, a lot of research stations comprise the continent.

 

[Captain_Jack_Sparrow]

Which place?

Only McMurdo has a population over 100. About 250 I believe. A Chilean place is about 80-90 people and a Russian site is about the same.

 

[Bizzlebin Imperatoris]

I don't associate myself with any country except the spiritual kingdom of God. It will be in its own location.

 

[theseed]

What!! I didn't realise so many thought he was real.

Jesus Christ was real too

 

[Captain_Jack_Sparrow]

Jesus yes. Adam as personified in Genesis no.

Doesn't it ever cross your mind of the archetypal nature of the Adam/Eve myth?
