Are you talking about Adam who as the first dreading Man of our race, let alone the whole human race, was the first sinner as far as, anthropogenic may I say, Realism may take us back in time. There was an Adam for what even the stretch of the imagination of cave man type anthropology could take US. He Wants a cave man rendition of Jesus right away from Adam to Abraham to Jesus . Nevertheless he still would want thousands of years to separate us from and by the Noah deluge period determining humanity as screwed by prophets to destroy us by, YES, a Noah type deluge.
Oh, get over yourself. You asked a question I answered it. As for these questions, you have already asked these question several times before and I have answered them. You might try looking up some new ones on the internet, if you can't think up any new ones on your own.
No in that quote I am speaking of an old and tired argument that has the experience of forever being defeated by comfortable reassurance. You can have all the persons you want from any age and not happen on the first sinner because sin is a state of being mind and we are of one mind sharing many thoughts. It is necessary that temptation come; any probable aspect or specific consideration of mind that can emerge does emerge. The fearful thought was not, is not a choice but a matter of certain probability. Since the fearful thought does not come from conscious choice which would make it inviolate given the fact of creation, it does not affect our ability to choose again. That is fear is not real in terms of what is created consciously in our minds. It is all based on conjecture. Upon seeing the truth fear vanishes it does not occupy a true seat in the mind, but it does make seem obscure what is there. No one who is afraid, accuses, or accepts guilt can see their own real creations or creative nature as they are afraid to look but they are there and if they could see them they would know that they are and have been blessed forever in god.(the prodigals return) For his wanting whoever He is the only deluge is baptism, cleansing the head and the washing of feet. Washing feet is refreshing or renewing the ground you stand on, your world model.
I think what he is asking if we all got over ourselves is why the discrepancy between god saying if you eat you will die and then saying we will continue to live with the addition of painful childbirth and enmity between men and women and sweaty toil to dust et.all. . God did not warn of these things before hand. In a conversation probably some years ago between you and I, I suggested that adam and eve did not understand the consequences of the statement if you eat you will surely die so they had no idea what they had done or what "free choice" they had made. They had no idea that would mean god would withdraw or banish them from his provisional support while they lived.
greatestIam + thedope It seems that A & E were not fully informed of the consequences of the act . Adam and Eve did not under- stand the consequences of the statement if you eat you will surely die . Do you not think that full disclosure on God's part was a must do before A & E made such a huge decision? They had no idea what they had done or what "free choice" they had made . He only gave the one consequence but added a whole lot more after the act . They had no idea that would mean god would withdraw or banish them from his provisional support while they lived .
Why don't you just let him speak for himself. As for you, I already answered it when you brought it up the first time.
"Oh, get over yourself. " Why don't we all have a conversation about it if your position is worth noting? Is it your choice to sin forever because you sinned once before? Do you think this answer is edifying of god? This suggests that you decide whether I or anyone else is worthy of gods instruction and I know you feel you are privy to it in the form of, "gods word the bible." Who is it you think you are denying a drink of water to? I am not the only one here and this is a different conversation although many of the specifics may be the same. I remember you told me one thing and told someone else something quite different and you were far more generous with possibilities in your speculation with this other than you were with me so your answer was less than certain. What have you learned since then that would cause you to say, satan sinned first, and this is not speculation?
So I got it right then. From my experience it cannot be assumed that OWB understands what is being said or talked about. Now restated thrice I am not sure we are any closer.
You haven't changed a bit have you? You are the one speaking for others and saying what they believe, I just called you on it. If you really want a conversation speak for yourself. What in the world are you talking about? Once again you are trying to tell others what they believe without even trying to understand their position. I would be nice if you would remember that from time to time. This is just bull, whereas I may rephrase things, perhaps from a different viewpoint, I have not changed what I believe and have continued to rephrase the same things I have always believed in. I am not like you, I have no need to resort to obfuscation and circular reasoning to try and make it look like everything I say is a direct personal communication from the "holy spirit" I haven't needed to learn something new, this has always been my belief. Lying is a sin, Satan was the first to sin when he lied to Eve saying; "YOU positively will not die." Eve is not around any more, seems like she died, despite what Satan said, making what he said a lie and him the first sinner. (Genesis 3:4)
Nobody sinned. Everyone being the authors of their own responsibility had their determinism explained superfluous to the conditions of material reality. God always gets them what They deserved. Indeterminately someone feels cruelly abused more that someone else; yes, but that is all the passion of Love, and God for that is but the consoled representation in the Lion or Snake. And to understand that is the way that we are all children of God. Satan is never more than diversionary.
Correct, I am still as god created maybe you should address him about it if you have a complaint about the way I am. No I rephrased what he said so that you might comprehend what he said and you are mistaken in your accusation. No one else is speaking for me. I honor any request for understanding. Question: This is in regards to your statement, Question: Do your think your answer to Greatestlams polite request, he said please after all, teaches what you would like to teach about god? Question: Who do you think you are refusing to lend your wisdom to? I ask you this reflecting on the saying, as you do unto the least of these my brethren, you do also to me. No at all but I do think it would be helpful to understand what is being said on the basis of what is being said. There is a level of reading comprehension missing. It would be be even more timely for you to regard this as a current conversation rather than a conversation you already had for the sake of civility going forward. This is just self denial as the record is clear. You have a different code of behavior for those you feel are deserving and those you feel are not. If it looks like holy spirit it is not by my deceit. You have a need or desire to say what I say is not what the bible says. You are obviously not like me in feeling it necessary to withdraw from conversations you become frustrated with. Therefor original sin is a lie. ]
You are getting the right idea in spite of Christianity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alRNbesfXXw&feature=player_embedded"]Alan Watts - On The Book of Eli - YouTube Regards DL
???? You alluded to some other answer somewhere and did not want to refresh our memory so what is it you want me to speak to? I could ask again and you would refuse again. If you are serious then go back and answer the question posed. There. I spoke for myself. Now give an answer instead of evasion. Regards DL
If I said to you, do x and you will die. Is that the same dying as when you do do x and I set the conditions where you will die? Does my setting the conditions after you do x not me murdering you? I definitely think that in a court today, they would rightfully jail me for murder. So did the snake lie? He could have said surely God will not murder you by neglect. Then he would have been wrong and that might have been a lie, but it was not, as God did take the initiative and murdered them. Regards DL
consoled , i prefer Snake . ~ actually , two snakes . ~ together they are the word of creation , singing the suns into existence . i also have no feeling for original sin . never did . i paid it no mind in church like i never heard of it . i felt protected and loved by the old people . they would've had me become a preacher . i wandered off into the mountains .
I'm curious Greatest. Do you believe there was a literal talking snake and a literal garden with a literal tree of life and a literal tree of knowledge, or do you believe it is a metaphorical lesson? I'm just trying to get a handle on what you actually believe concerning this.
