Zone1 opinion about the bible

[Quantrill]

Read my post again. Especially the first couple of lines. You miss a lot when you speed read.

In post #(33), you said Adam and Eve and the Garden were not metaphors.

My question to you was/is, what makes the 'Tree of knowledge of Good and Evil', and the 'Tree of Life' not a metaphor, but makes the 'Bottomless Pit' a metaphor?

In other words, why do you interpret one a metaphor and one not a metaphor?

There is no Garden of Eden today. There is no 'Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil' today. There is no 'Tree of Life' today. Just like there is no 'Bottomless Pit' today.

Why do you feel the need to make the 'Bottomless Pit' a metaphor and not a real creation?

The Garden's entrance was taken away. The Garden may still exist but we cannot get there today. The Trees existed as did the fruit. They were not metaphors. A bottomless pit has never existed.

You don't know that the Garden ever existed save by the Word of God. You don't know the Tree of life and the Tree of knowledge of good and evil ever existed save by the Word of God.

And you don't know that there is a bottomless pit save by the Word of God.

Again, what makes one a metaphor and the other not?

One cannot exist while the other can. There cannot be a bottomless pit because of the definition of “pit.” But, trees do exist and so does fruit. Also, garden’s exist as well.

Your not listening. In the physical earth now, trees exist yes. Pits exist yes. No Tree of life exists....correct? No Garden of Eden exists...correct? No Tree of the knowledge of good and evil exists....correct? And no bottomless pit exists...correct?

How does a Tree of life exist without being supernatural? How does the tree of the knowledge of good and evil exist without being supernatural? And how would a bottomless pit exist without being supernatural?

Again, why do you label one a metaphor and one not?

But the tree of life and knowledge did exist in the Garden when it was visible. The bottomless pit never existed at all. Please read and try comprehending.

Bottomless pits can never exist. If there was no bottom, they would no longer be pits. Just holes, like a donut hole. Trees with fruits have always existed. If you can't comprehend that, there is no hope for you.

That's fine. You refuse to answer my questions because the answer shows the error of your method of interpretation.

You move from an error in interpretation, to willful deception. Only you deceive yourself. Nothing more to say here.

I answered your question fully and completely. If you can't understand, you must have an IQ of 60. Good luck with that...

How did you learn the Tree of life existed? How did you know the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil existed?

How did you learn the Garden of Eden existed?

How did you learn of the bottomless pit?

You have lied. You have never answered these questions.

I am patient with the less intelligent and less spiritual of God’s children. So, I’ll try again. Trees exist. Fruit exist, knowledge exists, good exists, evil exists. No analogy or parable is needed to prove these exist. They do. Bottomless pits cannot and never have or will exist. No one has ever seen one, smelled one, heard one, felt one. If it did it would no longer be a pit. If you can’t follow that, you will always be lost.

No. Go to post #(51) and answer all those simple questions. You dance around them but have never answered them. You deceive yourself. You lie to yourself so much that you believe your own lie.

Why are you scared to answer them? What are you afraid of?

I did not dance around them. You just don’t like my answers because they make you look weak.
