wow.... lol...

The serpent is Christ

They ate because, as described, they will be as Gods. The serpent was right.

The knowledge of good and evil is the knowledge of God Probably why he told em not to eat it. The devil was not supposed to be referenced.

Yeah just as we will surely die, we will be made alive. Not everyone at the same time though, as has been taught. After death we will be made alive. Each as each one comes.

For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. I'm not really shouting, couldn't adjust the font thingy

this is why all that administration crap has to die along with a bunch of other "logic"

Interesting take on the tribal aspect of what has been given, even to old Adam and Eve. Who actually had a direct relationship with God and the Serpent. Comes down to what we do with each of our gifts. We all have them.

plus I figured it's ok to suffer a few things, or actually be bored, nothing wrong with being bored

I like this one Psalm 37:25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. it's proven to be true for me for many years, although I don't feel righteous sometimes

and a few other books, the question is, is that what it is or is that all there is? no, can't be it has to be simple and something else that doesn't require classes and books

yeah, a lot of that way stuff is based on bullinger and a book called "how to enjoy the bible" plus that companion bible

maybe what you have been told is Christianity is not Christian at all perhaps reviewing other thinking is in order

vp didn't understand genesis (or much) because he didn't understand or even have a clue to what revelations says === genesis and revelations are uniquely connected, like all the books he knew very basic Christian doctrine and mixed it with his phobias

probably the worst doctrines blocking understanding is that "prophecy" of some kind of 2nd coming, and that the dead are dead until then besides the fact that things shown to people are in real time, not about some future event

it's not a lie to the person saying something, calling names does not help anything, could say he is not telling the truth, more words involved with more thinking in it, but worth the trouble raising my kids I told them one rule was no name-calling, so that is why this bothers me I guess of course I have name-called to people myself, so..... whatever...

yeah... stick around a little while OldSkool, people can surprise you

great observation, I agree, but am not familiar with "personal prophesy" = is that a thing?

well....I consider the Muslim point of view but they go by the book, their book of course so not interested in that at all.. what really set off the spirit for me was considering the Buddhist teachings, and Hindu then ironically the teachings from the churches of my youth...

I like 1, pretty nifty, but 2 seems a bit off. I think everyone will eventually surrender to forgiveness.

Continuing to look into the topics but not much more to contribute I think, maybe, don't know till I know, I guess. lol... Even non-Christian groups, well some, acknowledge some sort of Jesus. A Muslim guy I know said Jesus prophesied of Muhammad coming. I don't buy that deal much..... he talked about the comforter... anyways there is probably more to say......

All true, raf... Going solely on the physical evidence there is not much to nail down. There is the spiritual element that many have considered and developed other conclusions. Involving direct revelation that cannot be analyzed physically.

study it for yourself, I didn't do it for anyone

good point oldies, I did study up on Jesus in India at one time in my life, compelling evidence there is plenty

there is a pretty long article on the historic Jesus on Wikipedia if anyone is interested Historical Jesus - Wikipedia
