(February 11, 2013 at 2:59 am)FallentoReason Wrote: Simple question: for those of you who believe Genesis is but mere poetry and not history, what does that imply about the New Testament? What does Paul actually mean when he says "through one man, sin entered the world" in Romans 5:12 and why did Jesus need to be crucified to revert the effects of an allegory?

This might have come up before in threads. I just wanted a clear and definite answer to this in order to help me construct an argument I'm working on.

Thanks very much.

Paul's saying was most likely a fabrication to support the notion that human sacrifice was needed for atonement. I believe neither statement...

Fuck man, you just couldn't wait to jump on me? WTF???
