Testing what you have been taught by comparing it with the Bible...is it in harmony with what the Bible says?

What makes something in harmony with the bible? How do we test the bible itself, which is also claimed to be inspired?

Huh...that's interesting. From here it looks like you talk out your ass about things you don't know anything about, without end, in order to troll people (poorly) that you are bigoted against, on an anonymous debate forum. it would appear there must be some gap in your life you're trying to fill...you're trying to put me on tilt, but all you're succeeding in doing is making me pity you.

Or...

Maybe let's move away from making this personal. I've explained myself to you as much as I plan to. There's a place in this forum for getting personal, and I'm no stranger to it. If you want to play, we can, but let's do it in the appropriate place. You're not worth the infraction points.

Why do you make everything personal?

...so what's the deal here? How could Adam & Eve and the whole Garden of Eden thing happen roughly 6000 years ago, but yet we have skulls in northeast China from roughly 12,000 years ago?

Did Adam and Eve have navels?

I think it could go either way. Does god have a navel?

Genesis 1:27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

So if man looks like god, then god looks man


What's the latest theological teaching? Navel or not.
 
Why don't Christians have field trips to museums of science & history? Why did the Children of Adam & Eve engage in incest? Why isn't the world flat? Why did Jesus marry a prostitute? Why? Why? Why?

I don't make everything personal....but when I do, it's because someone made me want to. :shrug: I give back in exact measures to what I receive...sometimes with interest.

Now, do you have any interest in returning to the subject, or are you so out of sorts over there that your thin veneer of intellectualism is gone, and all you have left is trolling? :) I think we were talking about the age of the world, and how not all Christians believe the same thing on that. Did you have anything about that assertion you'd like to refute, or are you done because you can't refute, or are you simply unable to move past trolling and making things personal, and plan to continue with the current sad clown routine...?

I'm good with any of the three...this is just language sudoku for me at this point. :lol:

Sorry I don't see the interest.

Can you give your opinion on whether Adam and Eve had navels?

I'm sure they had all kinds of oranges in the Garden of Eden....hehe...

Why are you so sure oranges grew in the Garden of Eden.

Why do you duck the question of Adam and Eve's appearance?

I am not sure oranges grew in the Garden of Eden, I was being flippant, because your question was dumb. :shrug:

I wasn't ducking anything, friend, I just don't waste time with dumb questions. How would I know the answer to that? And what does it matter?

In the Pygmy religion and mythology, we discover an apparently very ancient account of the “Garden of Eden,” as well as a Father God and a mortal savior who overcomes evil. Moreover, in the Pygmy traditions we also find equivalents to the biblical Exodus story, as well as much Egyptian, Semitic, Indian and Scandinavia mythology. The Pygmy account of the first man and the “garden” is detailed and reflects Pygmy culture and surroundings, without a hint of any external influence. The extra details, in fact, are indicative of this tale being an original source that was pared down over the millennia, as it passed through various lands and among a variety of peoples. The tale is remarkably like the biblical account in germane ways but clearly not derived therefrom, as the differences prove.

And why was god angry because A&E ate from the tree of knowledge?

Is it because religion is incompatible with science?

I have no idea why the mythical and irascible god lost his rag.

The Genesis narratives actually incorporate 2 separate myths; thus 2 separate gods. One is the series of numerous spiritual gods known as the Elohim, which were the ones who were worried that man would become "as one of us", and the other a lone fatherly anthropomorphic god (YHVH) who walked among the characters in the Garden of Eden.

But god would have known A&E were going to eat from the tree.


If it was such a problem why make the damn tree in the first place?


If the tree is real, what species is it? Another clue that the Bible is just a collection of stories with as much truth as flying carpets in Arabian Nights.
 
"Go forth, be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth." There was a human race called Adamu, prior to the story of Adam and Eve. There was a great flood prior to Noah's flood. It occurred about 6000 years ago. It was created to wipe out the Nephilim, who were evil giant descendants of fallen angels (or space aliens) and human women. Unfortunately, the great flood wiped out most of the human population also, and the Nephilim did also return later.

If Adam and Eve were the first humans, why did God tell them to replenish the earth by multiplying?
