Well, I can't answer your assertion that there is a paradox if you don't get more specific than that.
First, which you have not responded to, is the concept of the 'Fall' and 'Original Sin' are same throughout most of Christianity. The concept of the Fall and Original Sin indicate God made the mistakes that led to the Fall and Biblically the falt falls on the innocents Adam and Eve, for temptation in the Garden that they were set up for the Fall. The concept of 'inherited sin' adds to paradox that all humanity carries the stain and suffering from the Original Sin of Adam and Eve.
I agree, but on the human and the nature of of our physical existence the evolving physical and spiritual existence is a factual reality[/QUOTE]
There is nothing impotent about God. My belief is not that God is impotent. I believe God designed everything to happen just as it did.
This would lead to the unfortunate chain of events where Adam and Eve are guilty for the stain of Original Sin that infexts all humanity.
Since you bring up nature as evidence about the character of God. What do you think of the cycle of life? The ecosystem itself is based on a system of sacrifice. Animals eat other animals so on and so forth. So all animals and plants in the ecosystem are eventually nourished by one another's sacrifice. If this system was --ultimately-- designed by God; then you have to admit that God does use a kind of sacrifice.
As a scientist for fifty years plus I consider this a terrible analogy to justify sacrifice by humans to appease the wrath of God.
This also gets into the analogy that Jesus Himself used in John 12:24. In order to produce a new plant; a seed must in a sense die in the ground. This is a sacrifice. But it creates new life.
This view of an analogy in the Bible lies at heart of the problem.
Exactly, that is the human perspective. This is why no one can know God or the things of God unless God Himself reveals it to you. Otherwise, we are all in a constant state of confusion or even delusion. The history of God dealing with humans is God in mercy reaching down to them in their state of delusion/confusion. He chose to speak through prophets etc. This is the way of God. My point is; He still is doing it.
Disagree completely. Unfortunately too many people believe God speaks to them today in too many conflicting and contradictory claims.
