Theology Based On An Allegorical Genesis

[FallentoReason]

Man is fallible. It's in our natures. The foundation of which is illustrated in the fall story.
Reference back to it is following the logic of a set down structure. It's like writing a book on the basics of maths, and then referring back to our basic conclusions for support.
If you think that man is fallible, a taboo ridden phrase from this very foundation, then we're in agreement.
This is by no means proof that man is fallible, just a view point. If you take a different starting point, then this basis doesn't apply.

I agree that man is fallible. So Genesis illustrates this point and therefore Jesus came to... point us in the right direction?

Why do I need an actual physical person to make that work? I just don't get that. If anything it weakens the position, and adds in a whole unnecessary additional layer of doubt about a spurious claim.

Absolutely. This reminds me of my former self actually. My attempts to align Christianity to reality is what led to my deconversion.

By default your beliefs will either coincide with one of the 30 000+ out there or you will have created yet another system of Christian thought i.e. a denomination

No no no

catfish FALLS OUTSIDE of that grouping (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity < catfish won't adhere to this classification). He rejects the basics of mainstream Christianity openly. The 30,000 I have no problem calling brothers and sisters in Christ.

JWs call themselves Christians too, and just like catfish, reject mainstream Christianity as it is commonly agreed to mean.

Just clarifying that for you

Ah, I see...

Maybe he's a reformer of Christianity for all we know.
