If you understand that the Bible being God's word, then it's easy to understand where God is coming from and thinking about.
Yup, precisely as you think, coincidence eh?

WHAT ???
So where in the Bible does it say that being naked is evil ?
When you are born, your naked right, so how is naked evil ?
First of all there is no where in Genesis that said anything about a snake. So where or how do you come by a snake. Eve said nothing about a snake, Eve said the Serpent, who do you suppose the Serpent is ?
Had you seek out the truth, you would haved found in the book of
Revelation 12:9 The Serpent being the Devil, and Satan himself.
Let's say when you were little, didn't your parents ever tell you not to touch the fire or something that's hot that it will burn you. Seeing how you never experienced what a fire is or something that is hot, my guess, as any child would do, is try and touch it, to see what will actually happen and the child found out real quick it does burn.
So in like manner, God told Adam and Eve not to touch the tree of knowledge of good and evil, But then the Serpent ( Satan ) comes along convincing Eve that nothing will happen to go ahead and touch it and eat of it. And guess what ( Bam !! ) Eve just got burned and then Eve gives to Adam and now ( Bam !! ) Adam got burned as well.
Further more the tree of knowledge of good and evil is not a literal tree as you suppose it is, the tree of knowledge of good and evil Represents the Serpent which is Satan being confined to the middle of the Garden of Eden. Satan did not have free exercise to go about in the garden of eden as he pleased.
That's right the earth was already there, before the sun and the moon and stars and anything else was created on the earth.
Sure it does. It all depends on which Bible one reads.First of all there is no where in Genesis that said anything about a snake. So where or how do you come by a snake.
Eve said nothing about a snake, Eve said the Serpent, who do you suppose the Serpent is ?
Maybe instead of you just Wondering about things in the Bible, maybe you should search out and find out about certain things in the Bible, before you go saying anything.

In checking out 51 Bible versions of Genesis 3 I found that
38 use the word "serpent"
12 use the word "snake"
1 uses the term "shining one".
So, while "serpent" is the most common word "snake" does show up a respectable 24% of the time.
.

The only reason you say, (the bible has demonstrably false information in it as well as many contradiction)
is because you don't understand anything about the bible to clearly to put anything in the Bible together to make any sense of it.
Therefore is no demonstrably false information nor is there any contradictions in the bible as you say there is.

In your speaking of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, How many times do you suppose that Adam pass by the tree and didn't take of it, before Eve came ?
Have you any idea what the tree of knowledge of good and evil even who it Represents ?
Further more there is the tree of Life, Who do you suppose Represents the tree of Life?
You said ( Genesis has God putting the tree of knowledge of good and evil right in front of Adam and Eve when they don't know the difference between Good and evil)
As to how do you know this for sure.
Oh you will say, will there's nothing written that God told them, So that leaves you to say whatever you want.

Maybe you should search out who exactly the tree of knowledge of good and evil and the tree of Life Represents before you make any accusations.
That's right the earth was already there, before the sun and the moon and stars and anything else was created on the earth.
All it says in Genesis 1:1--"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth"
It doesn't say when, only in the beginning, When ever that was.
Therefore the earth was already there.
Which you are right about.

That's right
Why did Adam and Eve cover themselves AFTER they ate from the tree of knowledge? Explain your logic for why they covered themselves if it's not because nudity is evil? If nudity is fine, why do most religious folk find nudity and sex scandalous?
There is no reason to think that. Once again by doing so you make all so called prophesy worthless.That was in reference to back then, but as for Babylon it's self, There is the literal Babylon and there is the spiritual Babylon.
But seeing that you have no idea between the difference what is Literal and what is Spiritual.
It all adds up. Why you can not see the difference between the two.
What is Literal and what is Spiritual.
Before Adam and Eve took of the tree of good and evil, they had no knowledge of sexuality or anything being wrong in being naked.
It was Satan that deceived Eve into taking of the tree of good and evil and then Eve gave to Adam and then their eyes were open to their sexuality of them being naked. Then Adam and Eve put together fig leaves to cover themselves.
Why do most Religious folk find nudity and sex scandalous, because they will follow what their Pastor's, Preachers will say, instead of following what Christ Jesus has set down.
Therefore, there is no where in the Bible where God or Christ condemns sex or nudity.
Because nothing was wrong with being naked. That's a shame that god saddled them with. Too bad he couldn't have picked something less consequential, like eating boogers.Before Adam and Eve took of the tree of good and evil, they had no knowledge of sexuality or anything being wrong in being naked.
But it was god who infused nudity with shame.Why do most Religious folk find nudity and sex scandalous, because they will follow what their Pastor's, Preachers will say, instead of following what Christ Jesus has set down.
Depends on the sex; homosexual sex and adultery, yes indeed---I'm sure you know the verses by heart. And why would he imbue nudity with a sense of shame if he felt it was okey dokey? But to prove he did condemn nudity all one has to do is consult Leviticus.Therefore, there is no where in the Bible where God or Christ condemns sex or nudity.
I understand now...thanks for clarifying. Yes, I would agree with that. It seems to me (a Christian...though I may need to take time and qualify what I mean by this...) that Genesis 1-2 are more akin to poetry. I don’t think it reads like someone trying to say “this is how the world was created”. It isn’t trying to give us the mechanism that God used to create it.
Then according to Faihtofchristain you are not a "True Christian". I disagree strongly on that claim of his. He seems to think that one has to take Genesis literally to be a Christian, I know that is not the case.
