the bible doesn't say so we don't know. Why does it matter?

 

[ding]

Is the universe beginning (Genesis 1:1) a fable?

the bible doesn't say so we don't know. Why does it matter?

Eve got a name .... why not her daughters?

 

[ding]

did they all eat apples and were expelled?

Did George Washington chop down a cherry tree when he was a boy?

 

[ding]

Eve got a name .... why not her daughters?

Because it wasn't relevant to the author's descriptive portrayal of reality or as I like to say... the author's intent of the narrative account.

 

[ding]

does it not say that Abel was the first person?
did God mix up things?

Do you believe that God wrote that account?

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Eve got a name .... why not her daughters?

the Bible is male centric not all women got mentioned. as for Eve she was the first perfect woman of course she got mentioned on top of that she was the one that corrupted Adam.

yes I, being a good Christian take Gods word at face value

 

[ding]

It's a collection of wisdom. How to live and how not to live. Try not to turn it into a golden calf.

 

[ding]

i am always told it is his word

What exactly does that mean to you?

 

[Zebra]
