Proving The Resurrection By the Minimal Facts Approach
RE: Proving The Resurrection By the Minimal Facts Approach

Seriously? You're just going to persist in this sophistry? Fine then: Eve had no knowledge of good in the relevant sense, that would equip her with the ability to make an informed decision on the subject. It's the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, after all; if your assertion is that Eve had this knowledge prior to eating the fruit, then what did the fruit confer to her that was any different than what she already knew? It had some effect, the narrative makes that clear, but you're asserting that she was already in possession of what the fruit supposedly confers.

Quote:Stop and think for just once, okay? Are you really going to insist that God gave Adam and Eve a command that they could not obey?

You mean like, say, "be free from sin to enter heaven," while simultaneously considering every human to possess original sin, making this impossible?

Yes, yes, Jesus, but: Jesus is a new testament figure, meaning there was a period of a long ass time, in the old testament, in which god truly did give a command that it was impossible to obey. Or does the catholic church no longer accept the doctrine of original sin? It's so hard to tell, what with all that infallible doctrine changing so often. Angel
