The "Cultural Context" Excuse

"death" code... really?

I can see that you think you've left yourself wiggle room, you really haven't.  It's time to put up or shut up.  Either your interpretation is correct, and we're serpent hybrids...or magic books narrative is demonstrably false.

Correct, I said hybridization brought death, but the death i was referring to was sterilization. The original can reproduce (life), the hybrid is sterile (death).

Just in case you think I'm moving the goalposts.

A hybrid cannot breed itself back to the original, hence why you must born again through Christ who is the original seed (sex had nothing to do with his birth).

Life is in the original seed (It can reproduce), death is in the hybridized seed (it cannot reproduce).

Now do you see why Jesus had to die and go into the ground in order to produce children to God?

So you're claim is impossible to verify.  If it's impossible to verify, why would we accept it.

Do you accept abiogenesis?

Except that the hybrid can;t be sterile...you said we were all hybrids...that's some pretty prolific breeding for a sterile hybrid......

Meh, I just think you're being ridiculous.  You can move the goalposts around all you like....I don't care.  Ill just put them back where they started..like I've been doing.

-and here again we see that this must be false...if we're all a bunch of hybrids...the hybrid obviously wasn't sterile. You see, beyond issues like there being no evidence that this happened, and plenty of evidence that it didn't..your claims, the claims you argue are in magic book... are internally contradictory. A more impressive failure is difficult to envision. Not only are you (and magic book) wrong..you couldn't possibily -be- right.

I haven't said anything about abiogenesis, I haven't made any claims about abiogenesis, maybe I don't accept it.

I'm asking why we should accept your admittedly unverifiable claim.

If you continue to just dodge the question, then there's literally no point in having a discussion with you about anything.

LOL, again with this shit...why does it matter?  If he did, then you both accept it.  Didn't you say something earlier about how accepting something means you can;t question it?  What's with all the questions then...Huggy?

Does it have something to do with snakemen?

Damn it, Huggy! I had nearly finished my grant proposal to find the serpent, extract its DNA, and make a statistical comparison with contemporary human DNA to determine which sequences came from our ancient human forbears and which from our Father of Lies. I had such high hopes for my research project that I'd already begun mentally composing my Nobel acceptance speech, as well as my Liberty University commencement address. And now you scuttle my hopes like this.

I swear, it's getting harder and harder to believe anything you say.  Angry

You have to look at the bible spiritually

Apparently you haven't been paying attention. Haven't you read any of the posts where I said that Adam didn't need sex to reproduce, he was a god (little g), a theophany. He had the power to form the children of God from the dust just like how he was first created.

All that was lost when man fell, he became eternally separated from God (death means separation), but God allowed man to procreate through the institution of marriage, but man cannot produce a theophany through sex, which is what God originally intended man to be. Hence the sterilization, and also why I stated "A hybrid cannot breed itself back to the original".

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/theophany

Quote:Definition of theophany
:a visible manifestation of a deity


Now Jesus Christ (being the second Adam) will come and restore things how they were originally meant to be. Hence why the Bible state that the lord will descend from heaven with a shout, and the dead in Christ will rise up from the dust, like they were supposed to be originally.

No I don't...I've got your comments, and that's enough...since I'm trying to work out the relationships between your comments and reality.

You;re no longer talking about genetics or hybridization, or sterilization.  You are, in fact, inserting your own meaningless and fanciful interpretations of those terms while simultaneously attempting to draw authority and validity from the non-fanciful and meaningful definitions of those terms and that field.  It was never about hybridization or genetics after all...just like I suggested..pages and pages ago.

Cool story, but I don't care about whatever magic balls you think you own and I've already told you as much. Predict the future to someone who gives more shits than I do. All I can draw from this..at this point., is that we're actually not hybrid serpent men, eves having had sex with a snake is irrelevant to sin or to death, none of us are adams children in any meaningful sense or gods children in any meangful sense...and you never meant a fucking -word- of all of this shit.

What a phenomenal waste of everyone's time, Huggs, not the least of which your own.

Well bud, I've said the same exact thing in at least 3 to 4 threads, If you don't like it then too bad. But you thinking you somehow had me backed into a corner was cute.

Would you like me to provide a list of posts where I've been saying this all along?
