So what are your thoughts on the creation story. Do you think it is literal or figurative? The scriptures that we have give us an idea about God and His Goals. Scripture is theological and not science, though science often will agree. God's ideas and His Divine Council are the beginnings of being able to understand Him. Heavenly ones that sinned and attempt to bring God's designs to nought just show the futility of opposing Yahweh and how He overcomes their disobedience. It is a story of God vs the fallen hosts and man vs the errant humans. Science tends to want to superimpose man's ideas on a God that is so far above human thought that it is better and more fruitful for us to align with the Lord and learn of His Ways. Scripture begins in Eden and ends in Eden. It is the way God intends His Creation to progress. Edited November 28, 2019 by Justin Adams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(hope we can discuss in peace, don't wish to argue) Different species of human. Your dna has multiple distinct species of humans mixed in. Like a cross bred dog. Neanderthal dna, denisovan dna aswell as a couple of others depending on where your family line goes back to geographically. And no I'm not confused about the human spirit and the Spirit of God. Every human on earth has a human spirit . When you become a baptised disciple you get Gods holy Spirit added onto your own. Noones arguing. It's a discussion.

How can there be ANY to reproduce with IF IF IF there was not a FIRST MAN. ? you mention other types in our DNA and comes from 'interbreeding....but WHO was the FIRST HUMAN ? GOD SAYS it is ADAM....why do you not believe ? You believe God sais it was a man named Adam. I believe he gave us a story with a character named Adam. I dont think the first human probably had a name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do, @joebloggs. Is there any valid reason to doubt the word of God? Or do you have nothing more than just theoretical psychobabble to post on the topic?

No matter who they were...they did NOT make themselves. I can not follow your reasoning. LIVING people are the evidence of real existence and not some fictional story. The question asked was does everyone here take the story of Adam and eve literally. My answer is no. Yours is yes. You want me to tell you the exact mechanics of how people came into existence. I do not know. I believe God made us. The exact mechanics of it I do not know. My best guess was that at some point God put his likeness (our human spirit) into some sort of animal much like we are today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
