Sounds like you and your friends are afraid to consider the facts, you love your churches (or their traditions) so much...

Based upon this last round of replies. I am beginning to think the importance of this goes much deeper in the theology of 101G than merely 'Adam and Khavah.
Some of the people you allude to here have no ties to any cult nor the error inherent to them. We have chosen to follow the Son of God and the Father of all living where they lead and not as the traditions of men would try to take us. Some like myself are ardent students of ancient Hebrew and we have gone beyond the erroneous translations of man that many cults form their foundations on.
I recommend that you first assess the validity of what has been said before offering a simple rejection as you would likely find that there are more truths among some here than in any of the cults that currently try to drive their understandings onto others.
Please recognize that I am neither talking down nor up to you but rather as I would a friend eye to eye with the intent that you should bring a rational discussion to those who you may perceive as not having your POV. This is honorable as a follower of Christ.
-SNIFF!-
How touching. Not.
KBC, you can't come to Christ unless led by God, no matter HOW hard you research; proven by the fact you are IN a cult, or at least believe believe in cult (church) teachings.
The result- is your research is to find proof of such dogma, instead of setting it aside to see what the scriptures REALLY say.
Out of curiosity, to test your 'expertise'; what do YOU think is the most accurate Bible translation?
I'll give you another chance to come clean. are you saying that there are two Gods, because, Jesus is our Saviour and our Saviour is God. Titus 2:13 "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ".ANY who reject the God of Jesus Christ, rejects Jesus, too, and is NOT a REAL Christian.
Simple Truth simple Fact.
Ahh, the casting of aspersion.
Hello darkness my old friend
I've come to talk with you again....
...But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made...

Jude 1:25 "To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen". God is Saviour, and the Lord Jesus is that Saviour.
please reconcile these two verses.

KBCid: As you do unto others...
Q: I would hope others were truthful.
KBCid: And since I stated plainly that we follow the Son and the Father where they lead you cannot convince that we follow any cult teaching.
Q: That's because you abuse the word "cult". And you don't know God or Christ it appears. Just OFv them.
KBCid: There is no accurate bible translation.
Q: Then God didn't do very well- DID he? AND I said "MOST accurate". Sloppy Dodge..
KBCid: Understanding of God's intent comes through the Holy Spirit since even the Jews entrusted with the original language copy of it failed to grasp the fullness of its message.
Q: Know what holy spirit IS? And the Jews DID "grasp" it- they just eventually chose not to follow it. That's why God and Christ condemned them.
That just so happened to be the last song that I listened to last night after making that post.
The test / bait by @theQuestion regarding the most accurate Bible translation was loaded. The only answer that he will accept is the NWT. A parroting of the party line, a true "churchoid".

I'm glad you said that for two reason.The Two (NOT Three) always work together...AND they are BOTH our Saviors!
I hadn't thought of it in some time but it was brought to mind when I read your post and it was strong enough for me to look it up or reference. I could question these things when they occur but I have found satisfaction in seeing things at work when I follow the lead.
I take it that the NWT is a foundational translation of a sect of "Christianity" then.
It has been so long since I have cared to be informed of what cults follow that I am behind in making the associations. It has been much more joyous to have the original text opened to my understanding by God's spirit as I seek it's truths daily... I guess I just don't have time that I'm willing to invest in going backwards.
My understanding is becoming clear. Christ has shown;
Jesus said unto him,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Love is neither hateful nor disrespectful
