What A & E did, seek knowledge, the church calls Original Sin. No, what the church calls Original Sin is not the search of knowledge by Adam and Eve, the OS is having disregarded God, having betrayed his confidence.. it's quite obviously both. God wished to maintain Adam and Eve infantilised an...

My question was first though, do you you believe there will be no consequence to releasing many millions of years worth of stored Co2 into the atmosphere...are you certain or do you just believe? Her...

What if all reality is just a projection to our five senses...far more efficient than what we perceive as our 'true reality'...would you still buy bull (bible). Where is the garden of eden now? http://www.androcies.com I think reality is a projection of our senses. All 6 of them. The source of the ...

Seems unlikely if we're basing Eden off the Biblical narrative (and if we're not, why look for Eden at all?): I look for anything that will discredit the literal reading of scriptures that are producing a homophobic and misogynous religion that continues to discriminate against women based on liter...

[ quote="Greatest I am"]Adam and Eve were doing exactly what we are all told by scriptures to do, yet God seemed quite upset. It's not the "Tree of Knowledge" from which Eve ate, but the "Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil ." I think that the tree of knowledge of good ...

A bit of heat, everyone can take and even enjoy. Climate change regionally though means starvation and relocation of the dispossessed. That is more the harm of climate change and global warming. Desertification or otherwise changing the status quo will have people fighting for resources even more th...

A bit vague O.P. but let me say that my first moral tenet is to decide when I am dealing with others is Care/Harm as described in this moral system. http://blog.ted.com/the_real_differ/ So even if I have an agenda or path I am trying to follow, I have to more or less decide if the one I am dealing w...

Is it a sin to seek knowledge? Is it a sin to want to open one’s eyes instead of being blind? Is it a sin to do as scriptures urge us to do? Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Gen 3:2 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us,...

Was the real Jewish Garden of Eden located in Jerusalem?

In fact, there is a great deal in recent psychology as well as neuroscience that makes i...

I did not meant B.C. As far as I recall that means before Christ. They likely usually capitalize them but my grammar is poor. Ah ah ah, yes, I see, but with Christ you have capitalized :D :D :D All proper names are capitalized. My writing is automatic in some instances. Note that I capitalize my in...

[ Thank you Greatest I am. You refer to the Torah? The O.T.? To say the truth I have checked, but didn't found Adam written neither there 27 Iddio creò l’uomo a sua immagine, a immagine di Dio lo creò; maschio e femmina li creò. 28 Iddio li benedisse, e disse loro Iddio: Prolificate e moltiplicatev...
