Re: You are doing it yet again Robin.
if you don't know what death is, how could that be a threat? and I'm right, there was no death before they were expelled from the garden of eden, they had no knowledge of it. I mean for crying out loud they didn't know they were buck naked (until they ate of the tree, and gained knowledge of good and bad). How could they even comprehend death?

Re: Jar
can beasts communicate? Ask the dolphin, whale, wolf, lion packs. What are the bird and whale songs? What are the grunts of walruses? Just because we can't understand them does not mean that they cannot talk or communicate.

I got it, finally. Jar is also saying that their being punished makes no sense in that it makes God out to be a jerk, for Adam and Eve could not know that they should not disobey God Wrong. You still don't get it. You really are as thick as a brick. Jar is saying that Adam and Eve were punished. The punishment--not being able to eat of the Tree of Life. Jar says they were punished. Not that the punishment doesn't make sense, but that your interpretation of the punishment doesn't make sense. as percy said, sheesh.

seeing as how I got the punishment wrong, no big deal. my point is, Robin's still not got--Jar does think A and E were punished. I honestly don't care if it makes God out to be a jerk (I was just trying to explain what Jar is saying--got it wrong, but for the critical part). God did punish A and E--no one doubts this, including Jar. (one last time for robin)

Calling on Robin
agree or disagree: Jar thinks that A and E were punished. please don't evade (the cops might come then, and I'd hate to see you fined for attempted evasion )

Re: : Calling on Robin
don't you just love a symbolic reading of the Bible? seeing as how you interpreted the symbols and what they mean, rather than sticking to a literal reading of it. Or is this all literal? (it doesn't look like that to me, but then, I could have misinterpreted what you said)

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.
