This statement, particularly the phrase "Man lost his free will with the formation of his conscious mind", strikes me as absurd.

I think I'll back out of this discussion rather than anger myself over your doublethink. Good day.

Sorry, I am just trying to help you read the bible without preconceived ideas.
