The story of Adam and Eve was believed as literal truth by the Christian world for centuries.

Origen, one of the earliest church fathers considered it an allegory. Nana nana pooh pooh.

I'm looking for the Book of Origen in the Bible and I can't seem to find it. Perhaps you can point out where I can find it?

Or do you not agree that the Bible is the Word of God?

Quote:If your theology depends on sacrificial atonement you have big problems

...and if you don't, I'm curious what you think Jesus was doing on the cross.
