  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Oh, now I have a few questions.
How is this "distorted into some sort of universal promice of eternal life to mankind at large"? What's the distortion?

.

The distortion is that eternal life was never promiced in this context. There was only death promiced. It was a singular instruction... eat and die.

Wait, God planted the Tree of Life in the Garden and permitted Adam to eat from it among every other tree in the Garden except the Tree of KoGE!

What distortion, again, jerry?

The distortion is that there was some sort of reward for not eating the forbidden fruit. Only death was promiced. It was a singular instruction given to Adam regarding the result if he ate of that furit. There was no promice of anything else.
