You're crossing one idea with all the others.
You'll never get it that way....
THEN Chapter Two.
A story of manipulation...not creation.
The physical nature of Man is altered....he is cloned.
The spiritual nature is altered....he was given a choice.
He took it.
It was never a story about falling from grace.
It is told that way, to explain why we die.
THAT is where the ongoing misconception comes up.
Previous generations believed we die because the first two people,
made a bad choice.
Actually they made the only choice they could have.
Without the acquisition of knowledge...Man would still be an animal.
That we die...after acquisition of knowledge....is true for all men.
what does that mean...
infants die, have they acquired knowledge? We can go as far as abortion, with this idea are we then not taking a life/murder because it has not acquired knowledge?
