Re: Religion vs. Fairy Tales

Thank you! :) I know that nobody is purposely trying to offend anyone else here. I was never angry at anyone here; I just disagree with what most of you are saying.

I don't know, but they definitely knew what death was.

Re: Religion vs. Fairy Tales

Oh, no. If you're saying that death is something evil then you're correct, but that doesn't mean that evil and death are the same thing. I'm trying to think of an example. Okay, candy is...

Re: Religion vs. Fairy Tales

No, people wouldn't have still died before the fall. Death was caused by sin, but that doesn't mean that death and sin are the same thing.

Re: Religion vs. Fairy Tales

God has said some things that not everybody understood, but He had a purpose for them and for the people who did understand. He wouldn't just aimlessly make a random statement that nobody could...

Re: Religion vs. Fairy Tales

Incest wasn't a sin then. God allowed incest for a long long time. There was a lot of incest in the bible that God didn't speak against. Adam and Eve's own children clearly had incest marriages and...

Re: Religion vs. Fairy Tales

I can't tell you what God was thinking when He came up with the plan for Adam and Eve or what He was "setting up" to happen. I wasn't there. I can tell you this though- just because Adam and Eve...

Re: Religion vs. Fairy Tales

We don't deserve the second chance because even if God did leave the "gun" (fruit tree) laying around, He told them exactly what would happen if they used it. If a child pulled a trigger on a gun, it...

Re: Religion vs. Fairy Tales

First off, we don't deserve that second chance, so even if that were true it would still be fair. But I was referring to Adam and Eve, who DID follow God after their sin in the garden. In the old...

Re: Religion vs. Fairy Tales

In a way, you are right with the gun analogy. However, the difference is that even after Adam and Eve sinned and died spiritually, God made a way to give them a second chance by coming to save them....

I have a few things to say to this, but first, I want to say thank you for asking out of serious curiosity instead of trying to debate. :)

Re: Religion vs. Fairy Tales

How could He be angry when He knew it would happen? Because they still chose to disobey Him. He allowed it to happen because like I said, if He didn't give them the choice, they couldn't choose to...

Re: Religion vs. Fairy Tales

God didn't create us with sin, but He also didn't stop the sin right away when it happened.

He wasn't surprised when Adam and Eve sinned, but He was angry. Even then He still loved them and made...

Re: Religion vs. Fairy Tales

No, being saved isn't about how strong your devotion is. Being saved is about truly believing that Jesus did that for you because you are a sinner, confessing that He saved you, and repenting (which...

It says so in the bible, and I believe the bible by faith. I don't have "proof" that God loves us, but I know He does.

Re: Religion vs. Fairy Tales

His motive is that He loves us and wants to be with us, not let sin separate us. I know it's hard to understand why someone would love us so selflessly since people on Earth don't really do that,...
