[split] AF Hall of Shame, various discussion including Denmark & bible contradiction

[Huggy Bear]

"be fruitful and increase in number" is God giving man creative authority.

God always intended for man to live on the earth, hence why it was made. Man was both male and female COMBINED, that shows that sex was not originally intended for reproduction.

Yes, we know that god's intentions are supposed to be timeless, eternal and all that stuff...
but
How do you mean both male and female combined?

27
So God created mankind in his own image,
   in the image of God he created them;
   male and female he created them.

28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

That "male and female" in there means that they were combined, instead of separate like anyone reading that 5000 years ago would (I imagine) interpret?

Genesis 5
1This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
*emphasis mine*

God clearly separated Eve from Adam, hence:

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. - Genesis 2:24

2 halves make a whole...

Adam had the power to form people up from the dust as God originally made him, but after the fall, he lost that authority and therefore can only reproduce through sex, but because of sin we must die and return back to the dust.

Damn... that first bit I bolded is news to me.
Is that explicit in the book, or is it something you've arrived at through some reasoning?

Like I said, Jesus is also referred to as the second Adam, all the power Jesus has Adam had, therefore it stands to reason if Jesus could form people up from the dust, so could Adam.

Upon the second coming of Jesus Christ (the second Adam), he calls the dead (in Christ) up from the dust like Adam should have done in the beginning.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first - 1 Thessalonians 4:16

This comes much much later... let's not go there, shall we?

Why should that matter? Your argument is that the bible has contradictions, is not Thessalonians part of the bible? Because last I look the bible was a compilation that includes both the Old AND New testaments.

Nevertheless if you go back and look, I did include scriptures from Daniel and Isaiah as well.
