Nobody corrects God. We correct only you and your reading/using of Genesis.If those scientists claim that there was no creation, they require some swift correction. They do not understand creation at all. God's wisdom is far far far far far far far far above man's wisdom. When you try to correct God using the ever changing, hopelessly inadequate purposely partial knowledge of manscience that is worse than childish, it is insane.
Understanding the authors of Genesis is not unbelief in Genesis, its just an unbelief in wrong, modern, SDA reading of Genesis.The reason your insertions are called hidden is because they are not in the bible, you dug them out of the nether regions to foster unbelief in Genesis.
I agree. We need His Spirit to understand symbols and meanings properly. It does not make us passive and lazy regarding education, though, quite the opposite.
Sheeze, now i have to google SDA and creation to figure out what you mean. I know if i asked you you would simply dodge the question.Understanding the authors of Genesis is not unbelief in Genesis, its just an unbelief in wrong, modern, SDA reading of Genesis.
Listen to this guy....no one corrects God...then tries to use alternative words to force it to conform to evolutionism.Nobody corrects God. We correct only you and your reading/using of Genesis.
Augustine..so what?

Whatever. I'm not going to argue about the nature of man.Animals do not have soul, they are souls. They have spirit, not soul.
Augustine is revered by all three major branches of Christianity as a doctor of the Church. Protestants, Caltholics, and Eastern Othodox all consider him to be one of the great Christian theologians.
Even more important, when he wrote his book on Genesis, no one rose to argue with him. He repeatedly tried to find a way to understand Genesis as a literal history, and finally concluded that it was not possible.
No, Bible is not isolated from its surroundings, it was written into specific events in history, into specific cultures etc.Unless the symbol is explained in the bible...you're only second guessing.
Of course you cannot read half of a sentence literally and half metaphorically. It must be consistent.Someone tried to link dust with morality. Did God scoop together morality then breath life into it? Who know...first we have to learn the secret words for breath and life...then properly exchange them.
To read old writings in your modern mindset, without trying to learn about the cultural contest of the writing is actually a cult reading.Why should drop the perspicuity of scripture for the false doctrine of "here's what the word really means" cult style arguments?
SDA - Seventh Day Adventists - originators of the YEC.Sheeze, now i have to google SDA and creation to figure out what you mean. I know if i asked you you would simply dodge the question.
Pretty sure that people were reading Genesis as literal before Christ and after... It's not new... News flash!Truth does not equal to "being literal". The only ones having problem with it are people who accepted Ellen White's authority on reading Genesis, pushed forward by the SDA.
To your surprise, YEC leaders are really not God.Listen to this guy....no one corrects God...then tries to use alternative words to force it to conform to evolutionism.
If I were drinking milk it would have shot from my nose after reading you post. Oh my.
Nope. There has always been and there will always be a spectrum of various people understanding the text in various ways.Pretty sure that people were reading Genesis as literal before Christ and after... It's not new... News flash!
Animals are also from the dust (= mortal). They have also the spirit (breath) of life. They are also living creatures (= souls).Whatever. I'm not going to argue about the nature of man.
This is what happened to Adam and not to the animals. "7 then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature."
Horses and chickens were also not made in the image of God like man was. Post 533 was simply pointing out the difference between an animal and man.
Genesis was written for simple slave people. A fifth grader can understand Genesis. You crank it up to needing a Phd.No, Bible is not isolated from its surroundings, it was written into specific events in history, into specific cultures etc.

Good for them. At least someone stepped up and shown the flaws of evolutionism.SDA - Seventh Day Adventists - originators of the YEC.

When will you explain the fall?Nope. There has always been and there will always be a spectrum of various people understanding the text in various ways.
Where does the biblical scripture imply that...?When you will learn that "dust" means "mortality", not chemical material of man's composition, you will understand the message of Genesis much more.
