And here we can see the supposed "deception". Did the serpent really lie? No in fact they did not die as soon as they ate the forbidden fruit. Apparently Satan was telling the truth about the fruit. The in fact " became as god" knowing good and bad. This implies that god is subject to morals and not the source of them. Also it implicates god as lying to mankind to keep him stupid.

How careless of those stupid redactors to leave that in there. Boy they must have been real real stupid hu? It's not as though they had some meaning you have to think about is it? Know how I know that, cause they were relgiious and religious people stupid right? And know I know that? becasue they left in there, and they are stupid so they must have left it in cause they are stupid. That's why they are religious, cause religious people are stupid, as this proves.

Exactly when you stated you were a Messianic Jew. According to Christian mythology, Jews rejected Jesus as their prophecized messiah.

You identify yourself as a Jew, one of "God's chosen people", according to The Old Testemant. Not only that, you portray yourself as a follower of Christ, a believer in Jesus being the prophesized messiah, rejecting the traditional Jewish belief that the messiah would be an earthly savior who would lead the Jews into an earthly stronghold. Therefore, you supposedly go beyond your proposed culture's assumption, and accept the credulous claims of a polycultral society.

If my comments are rude, it's because your elk cannot stand historical interpretation versus mythogical archetypes.

Only if you say so.

Of course not - they know not to do it because you said not to, not because its evil. Adam and Eve knew that God said do not eat from the tree. They aren't required to know good and evil to understand what no means.

We're talking about moral accountability:

Moral

Of or concerned with the judgment of the goodness or badness of human action and character: moral scrutiny; a moral quandary.

Do you hold a babies morally accountable for their actions?

Yes, he does, and he lights them on fire when they say "No!". Just like his role model God does.

Well, you have to stone them to death first. It's important to follow holy procedure, you know.

It is not within the purview of this forum to discuss the personalities who post here, but rather their arguments. Let's all please refrain from discussing people and stick to discussing the issues.
