Genesis interpretations - how many are there?

[Drich]

God created people outside of the garden, why did he do that,

So as to be breeding stock for the descendants/children of Adam who pass the soul Adam's linage would have onto the next generation. (it was part ofthe original plan of sin and redemption)

and why didn't he tell us he did so?

Uh... HE DID! You morons see what God said as a contradiction though! On day 4.5 He creates Adam and gives hims a name and a soul and places Him in the garden. Then on day six he creates man outside the garden, and makes him compatible/in the image of God. but does not breath a soul into him. Man outside the garden still has a spirit which makes him smart just not an eternal soul. This very well can be evolved man.

I mean it must have been him, how else could it have happened.  

Again read gen 1 day 6 God creates man in his image.

Gen 2 Day 4.5 god creates the garden and then man and places man in the garden to tend to it.

Do you really think the OT jews were so stupid as to not see a continuity error? No they were not that stupid. what most of us see as a continutiy problem is infact two different stories about two different types of created man. The first being ADAM in the Garden of Eden. and the second being man outside the garden who was not given a soul like adam was.

look at chapter three and four for more evidence that man was developing outside the garden. look at who Adam and eve children married... look at the city CITY of Nod where cain fled/banished to Where did this city come from if cain just killed his brother? If the were the only two children of ADAM and eve where did the population of a whole city come from if not from the man or descendants of man who lived outside the garden?

Again what lazy minded people do is assume the traditional reading of genesis is right. if so there are continuity errors. I have not changed the bible or what it says. everything I say here is well with in the frame work of what has been written. just reading it differently than what the way lazy people teach.

Unless of course it was a backup plan in case A&E fucked up.

Not a back up. it was apart of the main plan all along. God knew they would fail and be expelled, and have kids... so who would their kids marry and have children? where would the bio diversity come from?

Again God has made the provision in what is literally on page to allow everything we know to be true in science to conform with the creation narrative without changing one word of what has been written. all we need do is re examine how we read the text.

The way we read the text today is wrong.. the writers and compilers of the bible were not stupid. but the way we read the text suggest that they were because of the continuity errors. By simply removing the false expectation of a given time line via the book chapter and verse denotations, the whole creation narrative self corrects and ALL continuity issues become resolved

At least you;ve found a way to acknowledge that your source material is contradictory and muddled.  Good thing you;re here to set those rabbis straight.



Here;s a fun experiment.  Can you identify a single theologically important thing in genesis..to christianity?  Some portion of genesis that must be literal in order to preserve christian ideology?  An indispensable item?  

In short, a good reason to make such a fool of yourself.

Yes moron Genesis is the crux of Christianity in the Jesus Himself endorsed a literal reading of Genesis. If one can not read it literally the Jesus is not who He said He was.
