I dont understand how the supernatural can be when abraham lived around in the 7th century BC (as so looked up) but then in the 21st century, nothing!
It all doesnt add up. I dont know if The Catholic Church believes these things are literal. Many Fundamentalist (JW included) surely do.
i had a similar thought regarding this. i considered that since i know Torah to be true that maybe we are lacking something today that Abraham had in his time. i continue to research the matter.
What is JW?

According to the Bible it should still be around.i was curious whether or not people believe the Garden actually exists and why they believe one way or the other.
Some do but most don't. Even one of the greatest Jewish sages, Maimonides, felt that much of what's in the first dozen or so chapters of Genesis likely are allegorical, thus not literal.As for Judaism, I don't know of they believe in the literal stories of the Torah.

was a place.....i was curious whether or not people believe the Garden actually exists and why they believe one way or the other.
Yes.i was curious whether or not people believe the Garden actually exists and why they believe one way or the other.
aaahhhh......noYes. Eden is all around us, and it always has been. What we lost when we decided to presume ourselves to be demi-gods (according to the story) was our ability to see it and appreciate it for what it was, and for our natural place within it. And instead we toil and labor our lives away endlessly trying to "correct" our world because it will not serve us exclusively as we presume it ought.
As a metaphor for the Fertile Crescent?i was curious whether or not people believe the Garden actually exists and why they believe one way or the other.
I'm not a theist, but yeah, it could be. We would have to do a lot of brain hopping. Evidence doesn't bother me either way. But I do wonder why many of you want to prove these stories are historical. Im sure that's not the point of scripture.
Are you jewish? As for Judaism, I don't know of they believe in the literal stories of the Torah. Not many answer my posts to know much of what they believe beyond basics.
