Philosophical ramblings on the Adam & Eve Parable

Are you sure? God called both of them together Adam. Could you explain that please. I thought he passed the buck.This message has been edited by jaywill, 12-19-2005 12:20 PM

You be way too hard on Paul.Besides, Paul said we're all chaste virgins to Christ spiritually. He made us all women.

Paul said a certain Junia was note among the apostles.That was a feminine name. A woman apostle?

The same proverb book that says I can't serve God and mammon?The same one that says the early church had all things in common?Like I said. Something for everyone not to like.I think your problem must be with Adam Smith and not the Bible.By the way - that was between Genesis 1:1 and Revelation 22:21 where supposedly you found nothing worthwhile.

Nighttrain I seek for Christians who are mature and inspire my faith.Maybe your approach is totally opposite. Maybe you search out Christians who will strengthen your skepticism and reinforce your cynicism.As for me I look for disciples who will help my faith and not hurt my faith. And I have found thousands who do serve God rather than mammon.And if you are so clear what Christians should be doing then how do you know that God will not hold you even more responsible. You really know better than all of them, right? How much effort have you spent to seek out Christians who don't ignore the Bible?Or do you just keep a watchful eye out on those who will give you excuse to ignore the Bible?And since you are so clear about what they should do then when you face God on the day of judgement then perhaps you'll be all the more responsible. I'm not. Thousands I know are not. How much time do you spend seeking Christians who meet in the genuine oneness?Or do you just keep a sharp eye out for Christians in divisions so you can reinforce your own self righteousness?Maybe you're in a denomination of one - yourself. If you had any kind of historical objectivity to your attitude you might also wonder how things would fair, on the other hand, if there were no Bible at all.A lot of food has been put into hungry stomachs under the banner of the Bible. A lot of cloths have been put on naked backs under the banner of the Bible. A lot of people have been freed from bondage under the banner of the Bible.So you have no objectivity on the subject. You're warped with your particular kind of prejudicial bias.This message has been edited by jaywill, 12-22-2005 07:11 AMThis message has been edited by jaywill, 12-22-2005 07:14 AM
