My honest opinion- you don't want to immerse yourselves and find out more about it. You don't really want a priest ( yeah now some will make paedophilia jokes) or devout christian to explain it to you. I'm not pointing fingers or insulting anyone. It's just an observation
Nonsense. What is wanted is an explanation that has fewer holes than an industrial cheese-grater.
The story told in the Bible makes no sense to mere mortals. Is your god so imperfect he cannot find the mode of communication that will touch us? Or is he so evil he's happy to doom some of his own "children" to damnation?
A god who cannot even author a perfect book can hardly be expected to author anything else perfect ... and by definition, that means he isn't perfect.

Of course not; you're belaboring the obvious.
Like so many other Christians, and even the other one in this thread, you assume that disagreement means ignorance; and that says much more about you than it does about anyone else here.
