Re: : Calling on Robin
I didn't mean their sin was sexual. I meant their lack of knowledge was sexual. "Good and Evil" refers to sexual good and evil. Before they were sexually innocent.
Well, I'd answer that they were innocent, period. Knowing their nakedness simply means recognizing that they had sinned.

Re: God = Jerk?
This is your method of explaining it away and turning it into something more agreeable to modern sensibilites.
And that is yet just another of your lame unsupported assertions.

Re: God = Jerk?
before this gets closed
why shouldn't jar make his religion fit to this new time?
a religion that is statically stuck in the past is a dead one.
a religion that can adapt and respond to new issues and problems without cracking it's shell is a powerful one indeed.
I think you just happen to hate that the world is changing, and as such, are having a violent knee-jerk reaction to what jar is logically doing.

That's fine, but he ought not to be offering perverse interpretations of the Bible to update it.

    You are aware that all your argument is predicated on there not being a fall. Innocent little children presumes no fall - for instance. So you sail in HMS assertion the same as everyone else.
    Its just a question of what fits better. A just so story is an assertion you understand
