Do Genesis literalists also take the rest of the Bible literally?

[TLK Valentine]

Ephesians 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

Captivity = Paradise

Or maybe Paul is just paraphrasing Psalm 68 and you're blowing smoke.

 

[AV1611VET]

Or maybe Paul is just paraphrasing Psalm 68 and you're blowing smoke.

Blowing smoke, am I?

Paradise

 

[Radagast]

Or maybe Paul is just paraphrasing Psalm 68 and you're blowing smoke.

It's almost a direct quote, in fact.

Ephesians 4:8: διὸ λέγει, ἀναβὰς εἰς ὕψος ᾐχμαλώτευσεν αἰχμαλωσίαν, ἔδωκεν δόματα τοῖς ἀνθρώποις.

Psalm 68:18: ἀνέβης εἰς ὕψος, ᾐχμαλώτευσας αἰχμαλωσίαν, ἔλαβες δόματα ἐν ἀνθρώποις

THIS THREAD QUESTION IS FOR EVERYBODY, anybody can answer and participate in the discussion.

Do those who literally interpret the passages in Genesis 1-9 also literally interpret these passages:

1 - Women should not teach or have authority over men.
2 - Nobody should work on the Sabbath.
3 - Pork and shellfish are unclean and should not be eaten.
4 - Women should not wear pants.
5 - Nobody should wear clothes woven with different fabrics.
6 - Nobody should sit in the same place a woman during her period has sat.

And so on...

I was looking for the poll selection: Most of it, including Genesis, but not the examples below

As in they can be disputable matters without putting a person's salvation question.

I had to settle for the: some of it option, including Genesis, but not the examples below

Nope. You read wrong. God actually can't lay a finger on this world.
It's contaminated and the two are incompatible.
He could send His only Son here for a visit.
But that's physically as close as God can get.

The kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

The truth is, God is in complete control.
Witness in the Gospels.

Matthew 10:8
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

Matthew 19:26
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

With God. God is all. God is in complete control.

 

[someguy14]

So you don't believe that Jesus IS God??

God can't touch something that is contaminated??? I thought he could do anything.

What???

Jesus is Gods word. All is possible with God. God is all. He loves you very much.

 

[someguy14]

Based on what, exactly? I'd like to see supporting verses please.
The only place God is not is Hell.

All is possible with God. God Himself created it all. Limitless. Love is eternal.

 

[46AND2]

Jesus is Gods word. All is possible with God. God is all. He loves you very much.

Yes. He loves you so much that he's willing to send you to eternal torment because you are unable to believe he exists while he hides from you.

 

[someguy14]

"If I make my bed in Hell, behold, thou art there." (For people who like the KJV)

God is with all of His own. All that are Gods own, God overcomes every wickedness. Love itself.

Ephesians 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

Captivity = Paradise

Rich man and Lazarus is true.

Romans 8:20-25
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

 

[someguy14]

Yes. He loves you so much that he's willing to send you to eternal torment because you are unable to believe he exists while he hides from you.

Understand the truth. God is willing to let one choose hell, to serve wickedness and send themselves to the lake of fire. God is blameless. He loves you, each and every one of you. He is life eternal. He gladly invites all to understand and accept His eternal word. His word is eternal and will not fail, regardless of who fights against it.

This is of truth and won't fail.

John 10:28-29
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

 

[If Not For Grace]

Scripture did not say pants, it said women should not wear men's clothes.

Pants where the zipper is in the back or even the side should be fine.

A shirt with the buttons the wrong way might not be OK though.

I know the magic verse for all food being clean. I'm not giving up any of my bacon, shrimp or cheeseburgers.

Oh have mercy...I needed a good laugh Thanks

Sending someone to hell for an infinite penance due to a finite crime, is reprehensible, and the antithesis of unconditional love.

God is all wisdom. God is aware of all.
If one is going to hell, if one is going to the lake of fire, it is because they themselves rejoiced in that wickedness. They have chosen that themselves. God is blameless.

Do not be afraid all of you that rejoice goodness, God is goodness. God loves each and every. God Himself, is love itself. Mercy is of God alone.

Few too many nips of the cough syrup tonight?

 

[someguy14]

Mock as one may. Hell and the lake of fire wouldn't exist without the ones serving wickedness.

Wickedness itself doesn't exist, without it's faithful followers.

Rejoice you lovers of God, God is all goodness itself.

 

[46AND2]

Mock as one may. Hell and the lake of fire wouldn't exist without the ones serving wickedness.

Wickedness itself doesn't exist, without it's faithful followers.

Wickedness doesn't exist without God first creating it. You know, since God is all.

 

[someguy14]

Wickedness doesn't exist without God first creating it. You know, since God is all.

Wisdom is a good thing.

Understand that God is all and all is good.

Only those against goodness itself(God), create wickedness(death).

Yes friend, God is good. He loves you very much.

 

[someguy14]

Just to reasure you, all error, wickedness itself, loses it's power when it stops. God is all goodness.

 

[46AND2]

Just to reasure you, all error, wickedness itself, loses it's power when it stops. God is all goodness.

Either God is all. Or he is not all. That includes wickedness; it is part of all.
