Zone1 Was The Garden Of Eden A Real Place?

[ding]

Adam and Eve
were jews?

As much as Job was.

I think Jesus was real. I don't believe he walked on water. The Bible is a history of the Jews... Starting with Adam and Eve, 6000 years ago.

If you don't believe the Bible is God's word and you don't believe Jesus was his son and our savior, you are not a Christian.

of course Job was a jew---his wife was a nag!!

The Bible stories are fiction borrowed from other cultures.

The Bible is the history and prophesies about Israel. Other nations are mentioned only as they interact with Israel.

IMHO she is Christian in name only.

she claims she is a Christian while not believing the Bible is God's word and not believing Jesus was the savior and God's son.

of course Job was a jew---his wife was a nag!!

Funny but actually he wasn't. Did you know some consider it to be the oldest book in the Bible?

"Jews" are the descendants of Judah, Jacob/Israel's fourth son.

IMHO she believes the MOST IMPORTANT STUFF---to wit Jesus
started it and the jews killed him. The muslims have a similar
religion----muhummad started it----and the jews killed him.
and then there is Mithraism

Eve was a nag as well, but certainly not Jewish.

That's not the most important part. Not even close.

yes-----it is something like the beginning of Genesis---the garden and
Cain and Abel part. and the Jonah story. fanciful

?? she didn't do the cooking

 

[irosie91]

Yes it is-----ask Constantine

 

[surada]

So you don't believe Jesus performed any of the 38 miracles?

Probably not. I think he doesn't need embellishments.

No.

 

[ding]

Yes it is-----ask Constantine

No.

 

[surada]

Given that the account stretched back to the time of Joseph it would be surprising if there were never any Jewish presence in Egypt.

The Jews were a landless Canaanite tribe from Urfa near Haran.

 

[ding]

Probably not. I think he doesn't need embellishments.

That's the point though. The miracles are the point of those accounts whereas everywhere else in the Bible the embellishments weren't the points of those accounts but were used to make the accounts more memorable so they could be passed down more easily by making them easier to remember.

 

[surada]

No.

Jonah is purely a comic novella. The lesson is important, but it's fiction.
