They covered their nakedness, right?

Why?  Is nakedness a sin?


If so, that would mean god created A&E already sinners, they just didn’t know it yet

Actually, they covered themselves because they KNEW they were naked.  Knowing stuff is a sin.

In that case, Huggy is pure as the driven snow.

Think about it, they did something that caused them to realize they were naked, at one point they had innocence then they did something which caused them to lose that innocence.

I hope that you realize that modern genetic evidence disproves any notion that the human race descends from two individuals, a man and a woman.

The Copts are in Africa, and they have a long history and cultural influence. 

Ancient Alexandria was an important center for the development of early Christianity. 

So some of Africa's historical and cultural religion is Christianity.

The Jews were never in Egypt, at least in large numbers.
You do realize that "Jew" is only referencing ONE specific tribe of Hebrews out of 12? The ancestors of the Jews were clearly in Egypt, the tribe originated there.

So stating that the bible says that the Hebrews were black (lets ignore the fact that there are black Jews in Israel and the continent of Africa right now)makes me a racist anti semite? Make it make sense. Think

No modern scholar believes that the so-called Exodus took place:

Wikipedia -- The Exodus

Which means that there were never large populations of Jews who were living in Egypt.

You're absolutely correct.

Why the appeal then to an ancient fable?  What's the issue with the ancient Hebrews being henotheists?

You're absolutely correct, two individuals weren't responsible, 3 were.

Boru

How did you draw that conclusion from what I said?

Because you cited a verse which stated that two people would die if they ate from the Tree as a basis for human immortality. You then stated that ‘die’ doesn’t really mean ‘die’ at all. This means human mortality wasn’t affected by eating the fruit. QED.

That's a new one. Let me guess -- Adam & Eve plus God? Is that right?
