There we have it, outright denial of Scripture. The grass parts and we see what was in it.
I deny nothing. It is an allegory. Do you know what an allegory is?

Ah, so now prophets and apostles and writers of the bible who refer to an actual creation are not led of the Spirit of God but were ignorant and mistaken peasants who were just wrong. When Jesus referred to how He created man and woman at the beginning was He wrong also?
I don’t recall saying anyone was ignorant. Jesus used language that would have been understood by the people to whom he was speaking.

Yes, you denying Scripture and trying to use some dumb word as an excuse.
Now I’m using dumb words. Can’t you engage in polite conversation? I thought Christians were supposed to exhibit love, but I sure didn’t see any in your post.

So Paul was just wrong but not ignorant?
Paul was a man of his time. He wasn’t aware of how the Earth and life on it were actually created. Sadly some people today apparently still are not.

If I say the river in the garden of Eden was a psychological allusion to an ever changing world I would be using dumb words to wave away the reality that there was a river in Eden. If you try to wave Genesis away using the term allegory, the same thing applies.

So Scripture is not factual in regards to creation and Paul was wrong, and what was your line on Jesus about Him referring to having created Adam and Eve?
I provided a response on your last point.

So Paul did not know how the earth was created but you do?

Gee, isn’t it nice to always be right.

I know how science says it was created. We don’t have final answers on that.

Ah yes, looking back I see you said this

" Jesus used language that would have been understood by the people to whom he was speaking."

So when He referred to how He created Adam and Eve in the beginning, that was just language to reach dumb peasants not the truth. Ok.

I know also, and the way (final or not) that demon science says we got here is diametrically opposed to Scripture and in direct opposition.

No, it was language that would have been understood by the people of the day. They weren’t “dumb peasants”, but their understanding was limited. For example, they thought that bats were birds. Do you think bats are birds? After all, the Bible says that they are.

Ah, demon science. I presume that you didn’t get your various vaccines, after all they were invented by demon science. Do you also deny that American men walked on the moon? That was demon science too.

It makes sense. God performed an operation, and one that is still infinitely superior to what medical science could do.



So it is not a real event according to you, but one that was meant to have a politically correct meaning. Ha

But based on the translations he did not do "surgery". Because it's not a rib. It says "side". Just read those links. This is a real event, he did create women but it's details are symbolic not literal.

21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof snip..

Why didn't you read my links? Those are from protestant and catholic sites such as gotquestions and catholic answers.
