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?


Actually - the whole thing is a bunch of fairy tales
The christ certainly did not exist as described in the NT. Paul - who did exist -never actually met the christ - but then NO ONE actually did. He is just a continuation of a number of old religions - embellished and exaggerated

Archeology is exposing more and more of the bible as being MYTH - not just genesis.
