Well, since the law was not given until Moses, I hardly think so! If you bothered to 
read the OT at all, besides looking for secrets, as Satan does, you would see that 
Adam and Eve's sin was not obeying God. It is not any more difficult than that.

the choice in garden was easy- obey your god and stay innocent and ignorant,
or choose to disobey and take knowledge.

do you dispute that was the choice?

do oyu not think  it is just an analogy for children growing up and becoming
selfaware? that time when they think for themselves and leave the safety of
their parent's nest?

if you think it is literal then do oyu really want a god who wants to keep
you ignorant- but protects you?

-Caveat Lector-

RE: [CTRL] Christians : Cain and Abel (Conspiracy)jamie
there is probably no point in debating what genesis means if you are a
creationist and i am not. it is irreconcilable i would think.
by all means debate it offlist with me, but i am sure i will not be able to
knock holes in your faith!
...but your definition of me eating a bad apple to come up with my
suggestions as to the meaning of genesis is very sweet of you- as if you
were born to offer up the legendary xtian assertion of the forbidden fruit
being 'bad'!

like the fork in the road...




gap theory

an xtian site explains...

http://www.christiananswers.net/q-aig/aig-c003.html

Many people have tried to place a gap of indeterminate time between the
first two verses of Genesis chapter 1. There are many different versions as
to what supposedly happened in this "gap" of time. Most versions of the
"gap" theory place millions of years of geologic time (including billions of
fossil animals) in between these two first verses of Genesis. This is the
"ruin-reconstruction" version of the gap theory.
However, this undermines the gospel as it allows for death, bloodshed,
disease, and suffering before Adam's sin. Because most "ruin-reconstruction"
theorists have accepted the millions of years dating for the fossil record,
they have thus allowed the fallible theories of scientists to determine the
meaning of Scripture.
Some put the fall of Satan in this supposed period. But any rebellion of
Satan during this gap of time contradicts God's description of His completed
creation on day six as all being "very good" (Genesis 1:31).
All versions of the gap theory impose outside ideas on Scripture and thus
open the door for further compromise.
These are the verses where there is supposed to be a gap:
 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was
without form, and empty; and the darkness was upon the face of the deep. And
the Spirit of God moved on the face of the waters (Genesis 1:1-2).

Personally, I prefer IBM Clones.  However, an apple (the fruit) a day
keeps me from getting ignorant again.  It reminds me that there are those
out there who believe in a vengfull god who arbitrarily denies this and
that to show his power.  Gee, sounds like the government.  Please pass
the apples (the fruit) over here.  Don't Bogart that apple my friend.
When god gives you apples, make apple juice.  You go girl.

Re: [CTRL] Christians : Cain and Abel (Conspiracy)

2001-01-02 Thread Manuel Abarzua

-Caveat Lector-

Cain and Abel were NOT the ONLY children Adam and Eve
had. In fact they bore many children as it was God's
command for Adam and Eve to replenish the earth. In
fact one theory states that the Lord bless them to
conceive twins each time so that the male and female
of different twin births were to get married and bear
more children to avoid genetic corruption of the human
race. God's miracles are produced by divine laws
partly unknown to men and not by their senseless
destruction.

 Then it follows the question: then why only Cain and
Abel are especially mentioned in the Bible? The answer
partly lies in the fact that the Lord wanted to record
for us the first conspiracy in the world, whose
consequences are so far-reaching for the human kind
nowadays. Unfortunately, the Bible does not state
(though it emplies) that Cain was NOT alone in his
conspiracy to kill Abel. Neither was Abel himself.
When exposed, Cain was punished and some of God's
children (not few) and their families followed him and
did not repent of their deeds, rejecting God's words
and those who supported Abel. The deeds of Cain's seed
is another story. Ever since, every big or small
conspiracy, a Hitler or any other mass
murderer,supported by powerful forces, is in a certain
sense Cain`s seed symbolically speaking. Their motives
being the same, killing and opressing others to get
power and money.
