Right, so "literally" Genesis poetically describes the relationship between God and man. A-ha, so you're up to speed with my dad i.e. you're telling me you believe Genesis is not history. Great, we just reiterated the OP. Now onto the question at hand:

What does this mean in terms of the saviour of the world? Why did he die for you? What did he save us from, an ambiguous and confused poem that proves itself to be too futile to produce a sound theology that answers the question "what did he save us from"?
Back to front: yes definately to modern misunderstanding.

Poetically, not exactly. Literally theological, but I assume you knew this. But you say I'm on a par with your dad, which I clearly am not??

Jesus saves us from sin in this theological construct. Not some fabricated logical car crash of poetry/ pseudo science.

Ok, so Jesus is saving us from sin. Where did sin come from?

How blind are you to the words that you wrote? It was a loaded question that I answered despite your flawed wording and you weren't happy with my answer. You then confirm what I said about you being closed-minded and now you expect me to explain?

And for the record, I haven't won, you've lost... (if you can understand what I mean by that, you have a chance)
.

This is void of all meaning. You're getting me to talk about everything and anything except for what I'm here to talk about. My last post had an "on topic" component to it as well as a "not on topic" component and you decide to respond to the latter only.

Thanks for your time, but from now on I'll ignore what you say unless it's to do with the discussion at hand.
