If Adam had been a monkey he would have been more perfect because he would have done what monkeys were originally designed to do
But Adam wasn't a monkey...he was created in GOD's image
And not one perfectly modeled/mirrored the exact image of THE FATHER
Except for THE ONE who came forth from GOD to "show us THE FATHER"
HE alone is the visible image of GOD
The exact representation of HIS BEING
The full radiance of HIS GLORY
Genesis 1: 24Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind"; and it was so. 25God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good. 26Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth,
You have a vivid imagination. The people who wrote the Old Testament don't believe in Jesus, they will use there scripture books to tell you why.Isaiah 8 remains sufficient
The TESTIMONY of JESUS is THE SPIRIT of PRIOHECY
Every WORD spoken in lower and visible signs and representations pointed us to the higher hidden SPIRITUAL TRUTHS which are all found in CHRIST
Every PRIEST
Every PROPHET
Every JUDGE
Every KING
Spoke of and pointed us to CHRIST
Before Moses wrote the first scripture, there was plenty that was true that wasn't in the scripture. Before the Gospels were written, there was plenty more that was true that wasn't in the scripture. 50 years after Jesus left, more truth was given to John in a vision on Patmos. In 1955 the 5th epochal revelation was given in America. For the open minded and the willing there will always be work to be done and more growth in spirit.
That's just common sense.
You have no idea how telling your words arePeople put God in a doctrine box so they can get control of it rather than surrender self to the guidance of God. There is the religion of Jesus which is endless growth and the religion about Jesus which one simply believes a doctrine.
One of the reasons people make the Bible into a God is because they are spiritually lazy. Its hiding the talents under a rock.

Thank youI never claimed that monkeys were not designed to do what monkeys are supposed to do-to be monkeys. Obviously tigers were designed to be tigers, horses to be horses, birds to be birds and reptiles to be reptiles.

They did no such thingChurch men wrote the Bible and exalted themselves to "Gods chosen people".
Jesus has been forced into many OT writings by converted Jews who were trying to justify their faith in him and their conversion to his movement. Between Gods very real agreement with Abraham and the arrival of Jesus, a great deal of human speculation and cultural egotism influenced the editing and writing of the OT books.
Jesus said otherwise.Tell me, when THE SPIRIT of CHRIST was in the prophets testifying to the MESSIAH, and the sufferings and the glory which would come, what was this "other gospel message"
THE PROMISE was not recognized until CHRIST was crucified, resurrected, and ascended
That and only after that was THE PROMISE recognized
No HE didn'tJesus said otherwise.
I'm free and unindoctrinated in Christ.No good will come of this conversation with you colter
I do not agree with you
You should not add to the word of GOD
I will not discuss with you anything "outside the doctrine box" because it would be meaningless to do so
It is the yeasty input of men
The Bible was written by the kind of men who rejected Christ. They compiled truth and untruth. I trust Gods Living truth.If we stick strictly to the Bible and not listen to the doctrines of man amazing things can happen. That makes us truly SEEKERS of His Truth. HE promises to teach us, not by the letter of The Law, but the spirit of the law written upon our hearts...2 Corinthians 3:5-6
Finish it upThe Bible was written by the kind of men who rejected Christ. They compiled truth and untruth. I trust Gods Living truth.
29“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous. 30And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ 31So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. 32Go ahead, then, and complete what your ancestors started!
I stick with the spirit of truth.If we stick strictly to the Bible and not listen to the doctrines of man amazing things can happen. That makes us truly SEEKERS of His Truth.
