Proving the Bible is false in few words.

RE: Proving the Bible is false in few words.
Fr0d0, you'd have a point about physical dying being introduced if God didn't kick them out so they wouldn't have access to the "Tree of Life" making them immortal. So to claim that it makes it so they can physically die is bullshit.

You want to use your own interpretation so the story jives with your version of Christianity, be my guest. My point is about the lying, not what you get out of the story. You think it's a story about the human condition, I think it's a story about God not wanting humans to be just like him.

You're arguing that a the interpretation of the story is logical. Last I checked, interpretations are more matters of opinions. Different people can have different interpretations of a story. I am not arguing against logic, but simply your interpretation.

Really, Fr0d0, I expected better from you. You're speaking nonsense now.

I believe the point of the allegory is that in Eden they were to live forever, but once they were cast out, they were mortal. They were pure, and close to god, but upon eating the fruit, banished from the holy garden and enslaved to man's short hourglass.

Read the story again. God banishes them not only as punishment but to keep them from the Tree of Life so they couldn't become immortal, meaning they had the ability to die as it was.

Genesis Wrote:3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever
