    Is the story of Adam & Eve a parable?

    What I focus on, is the Scriptural support for what i believe. You present no other Scriptures to reinforce your conclusions; yours is based on nothing but faulty reasoning …. You ignored my question: was Eve hallucinating, when she saw the serpent? (Apparently you think so, since you claim...

    Is the story of Adam & Eve a parable?

    Stop trolling me. I guess you think Eve was just hallucinating. LOL! You’ve got the audacity to say I don’t understand what I’m “saying”? Rich! That’s quite arrogant. You will be ignored, now. I see why @Aunty Jane and others aren’t responding to you anymore.

    Is the story of Adam & Eve a parable?

    Now this I’ll accept, since Genesis 3:20 supports this view.

    Adam & Eve

    And here, we have another scoffing statement. You, F2F, are the one not teachable. How many others believe as you do, that can offer support? (This seems to be something you’ve come up with all on your own.) You don’t need to answer; I don’t think I will be engaging you anymore.

    Adam & Eve

    The “woman” in the prophecy is not Eve. Hint: This woman of Genesis 3:15 and the pregnant woman of Revelation 12:1-5 are the same. You asked someone on here if they were teachable. We strive to be teachable, to be humble: that is why we have answers to these questions. - Luke 10:21 But it...

    Adam & Eve

    Exactly Right. This is a prophecy… the first in the Bible. And the words were addressed to Satan / the Serpent, not to anyone else. A&E may have heard God speak this prophecy, from which Eve may have gotten some erroneous ideas, but Jehovah’s promise was addressed to Satan. Take care, my...

    Is the story of Adam & Eve a parable?

    Yes, it certainly is one of the oldest books! And what you said regarding DNA, isn’t it interesting that scientists have found an individual female they’ve named MtEve (through mitochondrial DNA) and an individual male they’ve named chromosome-Y Adam?! These scientists say that all humans...

    Do you think that people in Heaven miss their loved ones still on Earth?

    Later, yes, when they are resurrected. But immediately after death? No…. Paul said @ 1 Corinthians 15:6… “After that [Jesus] appeared to more than 500 brothers at one time, most of whom are still with us, though some have fallen asleep in death.” These ones, present at Jesus’ appearance...

    Is the story of Adam & Eve a parable?

    Well, we have Genesis 3:20. “The mother of everyone living” sorta narrows it down!

    Adam & Eve

    No, I haven’t read all of that. Too much. What I did read, is you stating Genesis 3:15 is God’s covenant to Adam? Jehovah was addressing the Serpent / Satan. You say @Aunty Jane “tried in another thread”; well then, why are you bringing it up again? Aunty Jane doesn’t ‘struggle’ with...

    Adam & Eve

    What if they hadn’t rebelled? They would not have died! Tell me then, even after Adam rebelled… why did he live to be 930 yrs.old? Why did his immediate offspring, up to the 9th generation, live into their 900’s? If you want to be nasty & belittling, F2F….then goodbye. We try not to fight...

    Adam & Eve

    Grief!! I’ve had to be away for awhile — other responsibilities — and I come back & wow! F2F, what’s up? My goodness, you make it seem that these issues re: A&E, which to me are minor, are of utmost importance to learn, to gain life! A&E have been dead for millennia! But, they were perfect...

    Cussing issues- what is and what is not?

    Yes, agreed. King David and many others praised Yahweh (English is “Jehovah”… it’s spelled & pronounced differently in other languages); they used it quite often. They were not “taking God’s Name in vain”! In fact, they were honoring it, & were blessed. Malachi 3:16

    Adam & Eve

    It’s always the course of wisdom, not to read into the account more than is there. On some things, we’ll just have to wait & see. The important things, we know. But even Jesus said He didn’t know everything.

    Biblical Marriage Mashup

    The opposite of love is not hate, as many might guess, but is really, selfishness. So in any relationship, putting their interests ahead of yours, is what love is. In Scripture the husband is counseled quite a bit more often, to love his wife. The wife is counseled too, but his love for her...

    What are the main doctrinal differences between Jehovah's Witnesses and mainstream Christianity?

    1 John 3:10-18 Since its inception, Christendom has supported the wars of their respective nations! During the times when showing love was needed the most (during conflicts), religions in Christendom have encouraged their members to kill each other! That’s how you “know”! - John 13:35. And...

    What are the main doctrinal differences between Jehovah's Witnesses and mainstream Christianity?

    Even after His resurrection, the Christians referred to Jesus as God’s “Servant.” (In their prayer addressed to “Sovereign Lord” (who, according to them, wasn’t Jesus) at Acts 4:24-30, twice they referred to Jesus, as God’s “holy servant”! This was after his resurrection, so he wasn’t “limited...

    What are the main doctrinal differences between Jehovah's Witnesses and mainstream Christianity?

    I’m not sure what you mean… We are imperfect, so we do need forgiveness, which only comes through faith in Jesus’ sacrifice. But you know that… I misunderstood you, right?

    What are the main doctrinal differences between Jehovah's Witnesses and mainstream Christianity?

    As one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, I state emphatically — and I speak for all of us — that Christ’s death is the only ransom for mankind! Only His death, and our displaying faith in its atoning value, is the basis for forgiveness of our sins, and for our opportunity to live again by means of the...
