Why the whole Adam and Eve Fall story makes no sense

[dyresand]

Just like the bible stole it's stories from Gilgamesh and others.  See, now you are getting the picture.

The Bible is the word of God, the Gilgamesh story is about the same flood, just as all the other flood stories.

Nope tell another one 




Blah blah blah jewish goat herders wrote the bible and people were stupid enough to believe them
the end.

You can't be in a real relationship with a thing that isn't real, bro.

I know that, however God is real and I know it for a fact. I've told you this many times I hope you believe it before you die.

GC

Proof, please. If you can't show it, you don't know it.


Declaring something doesn't make it true.

And your evidence is....?????

[Minimalist]

That is strictly a one-way street with G-C.

To be fair, he is not alone in that.  Most of the other assholes are the same.

Theists only think the bible makes sense because their minds never evolve. The problem with religion is that it restrains the mind from knowledge and mires it in the repetition of primitive thought.

 Christianity comes from what Christ did in His life, death and resurrection. God formed the Jewish nation, the Jews did not form God. God used the Jewish nation to bring Jesus to the world, the OT gives us many prophecies about the coming of Jesus and His life, death and resurrection. Most but not all Jews have rejected the promised Messiah, why do you think they have suffered so much since Jesus ascension.

The Koran was written long after Jesus said the work of God in redemption on this earth was finished, was no need for the Koran and it's writers.

You only know any of that happened because... wait for it... THE BIBLE!  If the Bible isn't true, then all that is nothing but lies.

There's no proof of Jesus's ascension, and no proof Jesus even existed. 

Why do so many bad things happen to Christians then?  Hmm?

 God has proven to me He is real, leaving no doubts or worries, He proved himself to me through answered prayer explaining the Bible to me, answers no one could have given me not even myself.

Even many atheist believe that there was a man named Jesus who was written about in the scriptures. Then if there was certain proof, you would be a believer without the faith, and God gave us free will and faith to show our love for Him.

God makes the sun shine on good people and bad people, the rain to fall on the good and bad. No one is exempt from the bad or the good. Many Christians suffer from doing God's work, work that needs to be done to help those in need, this is not punishment by any means. The Jews as a whole have suffered for rejecting the Messiah sent through them to all man kind, one day they will be restored, actually it's already begun. The nation of Israel is the only one that has ever been restored after nearly 2000 years, no other country has ever come close to this, most never are restored, strange isn't it that this prophecy in the scriptures has come to pass, a book that most atheist believes holds no truth.

In the end, your belief that your god is real is nothing more than a delusion. You have no way of providing any evidence of this god in which you believe. Faith is not evidence. Faith is just wishful thinking on part of the delusional.

Just because a belief in something that is not real provides me with supposed good morals and a sense of comfort does not mean that thing actually exists. I can claim that which god provides you is provided to me by Ezrin, the new god I just created because I can since gods are nothing more than the creations of men and their imaginations.

Theists need to get over themselves and their false beliefs.

Your position is ... one where there is a god who has an important message for mankind, and somehow he only reveals it to certain individuals who then write this down and thousands of years after this initial revelation, we have to rely on copies of copies of translations of copies by anonymous authors with no originals, and the textual testimony to a miracle, for example the loaves and fishes; there’s no amount of reports - anecdotal testimonial reports - that could be sufficient to justify that this event actually happened as reported. No amount. And anything that would qualify as a god would clearly understand this, and if it wanted to convey this information to people in a way that was believable, would not be relying on text to do so, and this for me is the nail in the coffin for Christianity. The god that Christians believe in is amazingly stupid if it wants to actually achieve its goal of spreading this information to humanity by relying on text; by relying on languages that die out; by relying on anecdotal testimony. That's not a pathway to truth! And anything that would qualify for a god should know this, which means either that God doesn’t exist or it doesn't care enough about those people who understand the nature of evidence to actually present it. Now which of those possibilities do you think is accurate?" ... "Why would you believe anything on faith? Faith isn't a pathway to truth. Every religion has some sort of faith, people take things on, you know, - if faith is your pathway, you can't distinguish between Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, any of these others. How is it that you use reason as a path to truth in every endeavor of your life, and then when it comes to the ‘ultimate truth’ - the most important truth - you're saying that faith is required. And how does that reflect on a god (who supposedly exists and wants you to have this information); what kind of god requires faith instead of evidence? ... I have reasonable expectations based on evidence. I have trust that has been earned. I will grant trust tentatively. I don't have faith. Faith is the excuse people give for believing something when they don't have evidence.

Oddly 94, G-C's 'god' is just about as big a schmuck as G-C.

Funny how that happens.

Also as for your whole Israel "prophecy", if its already happened how longer must we wait?In case you haven't noticed Israel has been a country for 67 years.The only prophecy here is a self fulfilling one
