Unanswerable Questions

Phat writes:
Assuming they were real people, a question like this is similar to asking if George Washington preferred cream in his coffee. We simply don't know.
Genesis tells us that to know good and evil is to know God.
Phat writes:
No...Genesis symbolism tells us that we will know as much as God knows...which is in my opinion preposterous. A million years of evolution wouldn't even get us to know a fraction of what God knows, at least IMB.
Men rule the world and make it an ugly place. Would women, because they know more of God than men, do a better job of ruling?
Phat writes:
Maybe. I wouldn't say better...just different. Plus you are already assuming that women know God better than men. Thats quite a presupposition and jump in logic!
In one sense we are all trained by women, at least when young children. Why do they stop teaching us?
Phat writes:
Because it has traditionally been a male dominated society. The smarter guys allow the women to continue to teach them, however.
I am rather confused by the whole thing and need enlightenment.
Well why are you asking your fellow humans? Do you really think we have it figured out any better than you do?

You assume that women are not closer to God than we are. Why then do they not seek as hard as men.
I didn't say closer and I didn't say further.(from God) What makes you think any differently?

Which Came First?
Which Came First? God, or human awareness of God?
GIA writes:
How can Jesus be before Mary was born?
The same way that GOD was before humans were.
GIA writes:
Not to just have fun here but you see the awkwardness of giving Jesus divinity. You have to twist logic to an unrecognizable form.
The whole point is that we humans don't give Jesus Divinity any more than we give GOD authority!
