Hate??? I think this poster needs to read the entire thread and the comments I posted along the way.

This post is about the extremists out there who make religion a dark and fearful thing..

Fear and guilt are negative emotions.. And alot of religion pumps people full of these things. I can kind of see where bunny is coming from.. Her words are a little strong..lol.. But I see her point..

First of all, the OP does not respect all beliefs as he claims, or he would not have came on another thread calling Jesus of Nazareth by the name of Jimmy Christ. It was childish and showed a lack of respect for people who believe in Jesus Christ.

Hell, in Christian beliefs, is a place in which the souls of the unsaved will suffer the consequences of sin. In the New Testament, hell (Gehenna or Tartarus) is defined as the place or state of punishment after death or last judgement for those who have rejected Jesus. In many classical and popular depictions it is also the abode of the devil and of evil spirits.

And i dont go to church. you know not everything they teach is true either. everyone thinks adam and eve were first two people here ..well they wasnt. if people would jsut read the bible instead of taking some preachers word for everything they would see it. god made people on day 6 rested on day 7 and adam came after that on i think day 8. it says so in plain english in the bible. in fact i showed this to my brother last night.

1. The first account shows a perfect order, system and method, of which the second account is entirely destitute. In the first account the time is divided up into regular intervals. "The evening and the morning were the first day." "The evening and the morning were the second day," and so on. Here also the work of creation is systematically arranged and graded; it moves on majestically from the lowest forms of being to man, the image of the Creator. There is nothing of this kind in the second account. There is no order or system here, but rather a sort of an off hand mingling of all the events together in one short narrative.

2. According to the first account the work of creation occupied six "days"; whether the day be days of twenty-four hours, or days of a thousand years, or vast geological periods, we need not now stop to discuss; it is enough for our present purpose simply to notice that the periods are each called a "day." According to the second account the whole work of creation seems to have occupied only one day. See verse 4. "In the day that the Lord God made the earth, and the heavens, and every plant," etc.

3. The six days of the first account are followed by a seventh day of rest. No rest day is spoken of in the second account.

4. In the first account everything that God makes is pronounced "good"; and at last when His creative work is crowned with man in His own image, all is stamped with the divine seal as "very good." Nothing is pronounced good in the second account.

5. In the first account two beings are spoken of as being engaged in the creation of man. "Let us make man," etc. In the second it is the Lord God alone who creates male.

6. In the first account man is created in the image and likeness of God. In the second nothing is said of his being thus created.

7. In the first account man is given dominion over all God's creation. In the second no such authority is bestowed upon him.

8. In the first account the creation of the man and the woman seems to have been simultaneous and is blended together in a very curious way, as indicated by the use of the singular and plural pronouns in verses 26 and 27. "And God said let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them [the man and woman evidently, though nothing had been said about the female] have dominion. So God created man in his own image; in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." In the second account the creation of the male and the female is very distinct and explicit; and it appears that the former came into existence sometime before the latter.

9. Thus in the first account we see the male and the female blended together as though they actually were one, although nothing is said of their being one. In the second account we see just the opposite of this; the man and the woman appear as very distinct and separate. but they are said to be one.

10. In the first account the man and the woman are commanded to "be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth and subdue it." No such command is given in the second.

11. In the first account man has full permission, without any restriction whatever, to partake of every herb and tree "upon the face of all the earth," verse 29. In the second account a restriction is placed upon him. "Of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."

12. Finally, and perhaps more significant than all the rest, in the first account everything that is done is God's work. Man has nothing to do with it. God does the whole work from the beginning until he creates man in His own image and likeness, and rests because everything "He has made" is very good. In the second account, the prohibition laid upon him, man is made a party to the work; and he spoils it all, as he always has, by his disobedience. The first account is rounded out, and perfectly completed, bright and glorious, by "everything very good," and God resting "from all His work" (2:2) . The second account runs sadly on into the devil's disastrous work, man's disobedience, and the apparent ruin of the race. When we see it thus we feel like exclaiming, O that the first account might have been the true and only one! where there is no law, no serpent, no sin, no death. But many who would thus express themselves little think that without this second account, with all its disastrous consequences, man would never have reached the perfect state, and God's work would never have been completed.

This is what it says in my bible.

you are wrong. it says got created both male and female on day 6. adam came aobut AFTER god rested. god rested on day 7 therefore adam came after day 7 ...does nto mean day 8 does not mean day 9 but teh point being is he was created after god rested on day 7. so you figure it out. there were people here before adam came about. you can deny it until the cows come home but its written right in front of your face in the bible. someone else told me day 8 but it doesnt say day 8 in my bible. but the bible makes it quite clear there were people here before adam and eve.

no god was not finished he continued to make adam...after he rested on day 7...other people were created on day 6. no point in arguing. Its written in the bible in genesis. I would write it out here for you word for word straight out of my bible but it would take too long. just read it yoursefl i have gave u the verses alreayd.

dont care what anyones take is on it. they can read it for themself and if they still dont want to believe what is written that is their choice. I cannot make them. re read agian .. male and female was both made on day 6 in the his own image. Its not what I'M saying its what god has written in the bible.

yes actually your right. the bible does contradict itself. Ya know sometimes meanings to a sentence can be took more than one way. who's to say which one is right. you sure dont know and neither does anyone else. only God himself knows. then u got the bible been re-written what only god knows how many times. how do u or anyone else know if it was reworded in a slightly diff way which would change its meaning from the original meaning? no one does.
