I noted you did not respond to my last reply. Instead you present a former one. Did my question bother you? How did Adam fail in his duties as a husband, as you say, when he was yet unfallen? Adam and Eve were in no position to be guilty of the same sin as satan which was to be like God...

Eve's deception that the fruit was good to eat does not mean she was trying to be like God. And, how did Adam fail in his duties as a husband when he was yet unfallen? I am not saying Eve and Adam had an excuse. I am saying their reason for sinning was not the same as satan's. Stranger

You brought it up. Don't blame me. Trust whatever translation you like. But, remove the vowels, and punctuation first, along with the chapters and verses, etc. etc. Since you say they should not be there. Stranger

As I said, the woman was deceived. She did not of her own turn and say she wanted to be 'like God'. Every part of why Eve ate was the deception. Adam ate knowingly. He was never deceived. And there is nothing to indicate he ate to be 'like God'. He ate to identify with Eve in her fall...

Neither were there any vowels in the Hebrew. But the translators added them in the translation. If you don't like them, take them out, and then read your Bible. As I said, punctuation is part of the translators work. If you don't like them, take them out and then read your Bible. See...

What you see is Eve, having been deceived, took of the fruit. But even with her, the desire was never there to be 'like God'. That both became like God in 'knowing good and evil' yes. But their desire was never to be 'like God'. Only satan made that mistake. And only he alone could make...

I disagree that Adam was seeking to be like God. Stranger

Was there a need for a mercy seat before man fell? satan is called the anointed cherub that covereth. (Eze. 28:14) And the covering cherub. (Eze. 28:16) As a covering cherub he was in extreme closeness to God. Especially since he is called 'the anointed cherub that covereth'. satan has...

Cherubims existed before the fall of man. And they were extremely close to God. But, satan wasn't the only one. So, after the fall, other Cherubims were given specific duties that were in line with their titles as Cherubims. Stranger

I agree. satan's own statements are striking. "I will be like the Most High". "ye shall be as gods knowing good and evil". " fall down and worship me". As Christians we know the chaos and destruction in the world are the result of sin brought about by satan in the universe and brought...

Why do you say, ' This can't be right'?

I also do not believe there are any coincidence's with God. Of course not. And the truths that you glean from both stories, (as I believe both are true events), concerning a 'Lazarus' are true. So, it is not necessary that they be the same Lazarus in order to obtain these truths. The living...

If you disregard the process for electing the president then you move away from the Constitution. Which means the country is no more the U.S. Don't whine about the founding of impeachment in the Constitution when you want to ignore other parts of the Constitution. Stranger

I don't believe the Lazarus in the story Jesus was telling and the Lazarus whom He raised from the dead are the same person. Stranger

Barney I already know what I said. You're supposed to respond to what I said. Not repeat what I said. Stranger

A Bible that included the apocrypha as Scripture would not be trustworthy in their notes. So, is being in Christ symbolic or not? What do you disagree with my definition of literal interpretation. Because that is the definition of literal interpretation. The punctuation is part of...

The when is not in question. Jesus said 'today'. Not only do you remove the comma, but you add a question mark. Jesus's response of 'today' was due to the theif's statement of faith that Jesus was the Messiah as he had claimed to be. Something the other theif denied. And what a statement of...

The mercy was toward the act of getting a drop of water. In the act of sending Lazarus to his brothers, he didn't base it on mercy. (16:27-28) I don't see Lazarus being the Son here. I don't see why it would need to be. Stranger

Oh yes, adding a comma would change the meaning. And you could add a few words in there to do the same. 'every jot and title' Stranger

It means I am saying this is not a parable. Is being in Christ symbolic? Or is it literal? You do not understand literal interpretation of Scripture. Literal interpretation allows for all the figures of speech to be used. It just doesn't believe everything in the Scripture is interpreted...
