A day was not 1000 years, given that we don't have the sabbath every 7000 years. We have it every week. And nobody every said Adam was several thousand years old when he died. Sure they apparently knew right from wrong, after they ate the apple that gave them the ability. Though one wonders, if them being naked was wrong, why were they naked in the first place. We don't let kids run around butt naked until they decide they don't want to be naked anymore.*emphasis mine*
I thought you guys claimed to know the bible better than thiests...
Quote:For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. - Psalm 90:4
Quote:But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day - 2 Peter 3:8
God's "day" and man's "day" are two completely different things, didn't anyone tell you that time is relative?
Also God told Adam the DAY he ate of the tree that DAY he would die. Adam lived to be 930 years old, which falls within one day in relation to God.

Because if I believe I'm a bad person, murdering an innocent person isn't going to make me a better person. What good does it do to give us a way, if that way is obviously immoral? Why do we want to be near a guy that does horrible things to people?
Ah so your of the opinion that "vicarious redemption" is immoral?
Yes, I know about that verse, and it's obviously wrong, for the reasons I stated. Sorry if him living 930 years after eating the fruit makes Yahweh a liar, but that's not my problem.
Most people's opinion, yeah. Killing something good and innocent does not make the world a better place. It doesn't absolve you of sin, because what's absolving your crime of murder? It's counterproductive, and solves nothing.
