Very well said.
Sad that some in this thread believe that those who disagree with their interpretation of the Genesis creation account should just "toss [their] bible into the trash."
Why do we need to know it? Is it not enough that we know we are sinners in need of redemption?Would you like to explain how we received our sin nature? The history behind why we need Christ?
Why not? Just because a person may not believe that the text of the Garden story is 100% accurate literal history does not mean he disagrees with Romans 5:12.The disagreements are not moot. Concerning any theological lesson or insight as well as any moral or ethical lessons....those that are persuaded by "B" skip over why we sin and deviate from what scripture teaches.
They simply say, well were sinners and that's all I need to know. But when asked how we got that way....I hear silence. They exchange what is written in the Word of God for the word of man...the reason for Jesus coming and dieing on the cross isn't because of a single act of disobedience where we all suffer the reprocussion and curse of that sin.
I have answered this question at least twice in this thread--how sin entered the world is irrelevant. It did. Therefore we need a savior, Christ Jesus.Would you like to explain how we received our sin nature? The history behind why we need Christ?

I think you need to give us a serious answer to Solomon's question. Right now all you're giving us is a red herring.
That's a bad verse for you to use to defend your argument.Why not? Just because a person may not believe that the text of the Garden story is 100% accurate literal history does not mean he disagrees with Romans 5:12.

How do you explain thee change of voicing in Exodus 20:11 and 31:17?Exodus 20:11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
Exodus 24:12 The Lord said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain and stay here, and I will give you the tablets of stone with the law and commandments I have written for their instruction.”
Exodus 31: 17-18 It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.’ ”
When the Lord finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the covenant law, the tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God.
So God personally wrote the Ten Commandments on stone tablets and in doing so twice referenced the six day creation. Jesus referenced and affirmed that these commandments were in fact from God. So there is no ambiguity, the Scriptures teach that the creation of man happened exactly as depicted in Genesis. Any statement to the contrary is heresy. Evolution did not happen. Speciation happened since the time of the great flood, but man shares his ancestry only with man. Dogs and wolves may have common ancestry but dogs and cats do not. We do not have a common progenitor. We have a common Creator and He is Lord of the universe.
Then if you disagree with what the scripture says...please explain how sin entered. I would like to know.
It doesn't. I agree with Paul.That's a bad verse for you to use to defend your argument.
Here's what it says...
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned.
Your theology would deny "sin came into the world through one man".
LOL! We don't disagree with what scriptures says, we disagree with what you think it says.Then if you disagree with what the scripture says...please explain how sin entered. I would like to know.
How do you explain thee change of voicing in Exodus 20:11 and 31:17?
I must have missed it...can you point out where or explain it again.First, I don't disagree with what scripture says.
Second, I have answered you question multiple times.
LOL! We don't disagree with what scriptures says, we disagree with what you think it says.
The voicing changes from first person to third person. Usually that would indicate a parenthetical insertion by the transcriber or narrator--an especially important indicator in a language without quotation marks. You guys say not; what is your explanation for it?You'll need to explain that a bit more. I fail to see your point.
Tired of you playing games. I answered this in posts 154, 172 and 184.I must have missed it...can you point out where or explain it again.
I don't agree there is a change of voicing.How do you explain thee change of voicing in Exodus 20:11 and 31:17?
