IThe bible doesn't condone slavery. I already posted something about that. Neither does it condone stoning kids.

"However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way." (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)

"If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him . . . and all the men of his city shall stone him with stones that he die." Deut. 21:18-21

And one to go on: "And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive? . . . Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves." Numbers 31: 15-1

But the idea God didn't want her to do it was over-ruled when the serpent [not Satan] suggested she do eat it. Essentially we are dealing with a child's mind, here. Eve might have had some adult form but she had no education, no culture, and no-one else to learn from. And she was kept deliberately ignorant of the concepts of Good and Evil.

Therefore, no, she had no idea what disobedience was, and the decision was made in ignorance.

What makes you think a serpent overruled God's instructions. Eve wasn't an idiot. God said not to eat it. She knew what that phrase meant, and she just chose to dissobey b/c she wanted to be, "like gods." There was nothing confusing about what God told her, and she didn't make the decision in ignorance. She knew God had told her not to, and decided to go against what he said.

If you go back through the threads you'll see that I already posted about these "issues."

According to Job, Satan acts only with God's blessing.




Although what that has to do with the actual age of the Earth is beyond me.

So basically, you choose what fits what AIG tells you to choose?

Nope I chose to believe whatever the bible says, and AIG is a website that(in all the things I've read) hasn't made claims that go against the bible. Also AIG wasn't even the link I posted.

I meant relevant to our times as well. Sorry for quickly replying.

Oh okay and no problem. Well First off God was adressing the Israelites in those verses. I'm not an Israelite, and the laws were created b/c of the sinful condition of man. When Christ came he fulfilled the laws. Also his church became accessible to both jews and gentiles. That's why christians are no longer commanded to kill others b/c they don't share our belief systems, and we don't have to offer up our sins to a priest, etc.

Okay. Fair enough for the moment.

How is Genesis relevant beyond just an early analogy for ancient Israelites?
