Default A fundamental lie?

And the Elohim were happy when they finished making the universe
[Genesis 1:31 - And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold,
it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
]
How could the Elohim know what was coming on Earth?
Did the Elohim lie to themselves or to the future readers of the Bible?
[Elohim, plural for god; Strong’s H430].

What is good for the Elohim is not necessarily good for you (or me). The antilopes do not appreciate the existence of the lions.

So where do Christians get off hating gods work like cockroaches or spiders? Very disrespectful!

I presume it was the priests who lied. And from there you are suggesting that the lying priests were the cause of original sin?

Tricky.

Interesting fella's, very, very interesting..............:constern01:
