    Adam and his wife died physically after eating the Forbidden Fruit. Genesis 2:17 is Literal.

    For a better understanding of how a literal interpretation of Genesis 2:17 solves all of the contradictions that exist in the current teachings out there, I will create a simple timeline beginning with Genesis 2:4. Commentaries are under each verse. Genesis 2:4 "These are the generations of the...

    Adam and his wife died physically after eating the Forbidden Fruit. Genesis 2:17 is Literal.

    As stated earlier, there are issues with claiming that Genesis 2 is simply a 'recap' of Genesis 1. We start with this verse... Genesis 2:7 "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." God creates Man...

    Did Adam and Eve and animals have genitals before the fall?

    I see. So you do not understand poetic language. You should not take everything in the Bible so literally. Well, you already take it too literally since you believe the Adam and Eve myth.

    Did Adam and Eve and animals have genitals before the fall?

    There are many verses in the Bible that relate eating food with learning Word of God. Example: 1 Peter 2:2 "As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby" Even the name of the tree that Adam and his wife partook of implies that one will consume information...

    Does having a religion make you a better person?

    That interpretation fits. Yes, we know. Which, unfortunately, has contributed to a history of religious misogyny. Yes, and?

    Does having a religion make you a better person?

    I'd like to go over that a bit. We know from the Biblical account Adam and Eve were not created blind. (We agree there, I think.) Adam was told not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, if he did, he would die, in other words, have the death process working in him starting the very...

    Yahweh is an abomination?

    Now WHY do you think the tree was called "the tree of the knowledge of good and evil" (Genesis 2.9, 2.17)? And what happened when Eve ate the fruit of that tree, and when Adam did? En osaa suomea. The RSV, which I use, gives 2:17 as "but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall...

    "God, the Bible and his Word" the Genesis Account, the Garden of Eden

    The type (Genus) of that tree does not matter. It was not told and will never be known but can be abstracted to Olive Trees by way of the scriptures in symbolic form: “These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth” (Rev 11:4) The two trees...

    God's Creation, and Some Misconceptions

    I agree, except, I am thinking it's all on 1 day, day 6. The problem I see in the above is "day" is singular. "in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens," Made is the keyword for me. When was it made? The creation process started in Gen 1:1. And everything was finished...

    God's Creation, and Some Misconceptions

    they all obeyed until the serpent/the Devil entered the picture. he deceived the woman. now, she ate of the forbidden tree. Genesis 2:16 "And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:" Genesis 2:17 "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and...

    Suffering and evil

    Perhaps if we check the original word usage 'evil', it will help. EVIL That which results in pain, sorrow, or distress. In order to convey the correct thought in English, the very comprehensive Hebrew word raʽ is variously translated as “bad,” “gloomy,” “ugly,” “evil,” “calamitous,”...

    Made in the Image

    Have you considered the context that the verse is used in in Isaiah? He's saying that he's bringing judgment on nations, not that he originally created evil.

    Made in the Image

    Read Hebrew? yes. My Hebrew comprehension is so/so. I can recognize words and phrases. Famous words and phrases I know pretty well. My Hebrew grammar is very very weak. I can't read Greek though. The verse in question, beleive it or not, is part of Jewish liturgy ( with minor modification...

    The I Am of the Amidah.

    The Christian foundation and root for determining the nature of the salvation that is resurrection from the dead starts in the beginning with Genesis 2:9: And out of the ground the Lord made to sprout the tree that is pleasant to sight and good for food, as well as the tree of life, and also in...

    Why Does God Permit Evil?

    Many people read the Bible as you do, and so they have thes ideas, as well. For one thing, people think the fruit was like some magic pill that opens the eater's eyes, giving them not only the ability to see... as though they couldn't see before, but also a brain explosion of knowledge of good...

    Are Baha’u’llah’s prophecies coming true?

    Your constant platitudes rarely address the questions asked or points raised. The evidence completely refutes your claim that all religions are good and true representations of god's message, revealed by messengers of the same god, communicating the same message. Bahaism necessarily implies that...

    Something my dad said.

    I believe that was a special case with Jesus as the first fruit or our resurrection to eternal bodies. Lazarus was resurrected to a mortal body.

    Something my dad said.

    You asked a question: "If the dead are still alive in spirit, of what need is there for a resurrection?" Resurrection means resurrection from a mortal physical body to a eternal physical body. When Jesus resurrected dead He had done it to show His power over the physical death, and those...

    Are Baha’u’llah’s prophecies coming true?

    The tree planted was from the tree of life CG. It was planted in the pure soil of Love, faith and obediance in God and the tree of Christ flourished CG. On the way, not every branch of understanding will survive, some will be cut off as they are diseased, some are pruned as they no longer bare...

    Is the Tree of Life the Dead Stump of the Tree of Knowledge?

    And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Genesis 2:9 But of the the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath...
