I believe it’s genesis 6 and exodus 20. Wouldn’t it also have been the same realm where Lucifer developed his pride?

The question for me is rooted in why does there have to be so much suffering in the world. And satan appears to be the root of all this suffering. Why is satan needed? We already know what is right and wrong; we already have free will. Is it because without temptation, we would just do the...

I’m not out to change the world or anything. I’m just looking for better understanding.

Is it just me, or did god lose that bet? When I read Job, it seems like he did lose faith. He was strong at the beginning but in the end he questioned why he was suffering when he was sinless.

I’m trying to avoid blasphemy here so I’ll tread lightly. The only explanation I have for the purpose of the tree of life is temptation. It’s not clear for how long Adam and Eve obeyed god’s command. It could have been years. And then a talking snake appears. If the snake didn’t work there...

I’m mostly just searching to see if my questions have been posted previously. I noticed most threads go off topic, and sometimes quickly. As mentioned in above replies, I see numerous and varied answers/responses/positions I also noticed some folks really dig in and defend. Typical stuff for...

I have wondered if sin exists in heaven for a couple reasons. Some sin is from actions; some sin is from simply thoughts, namely lust. Genesis talks about how angels would descend on earth, take the pretty women, and have sex with them. There’s more than just 1 sin in that. The other reason...
