Religion / Re: Is The Adam And Eve Story To Be Understood Literally? by HOLYSEE(m): 9:15pm On Sep 16, 2015
[color=#000099][/color]The Bible unlike other religious books appeal to our spiritual as well as physical and psychological needs, the Christian bible unlike other books of religion is not conjured or claim to have physical Powers but it is the authority that backs the written word called LOGOS that makes it RHEMA the spoken word. Why am I saying this in as much as the bible is inspired by the holy spirit it was brought to man in a form he can comprehend, therefore I would say for this reason the bible was written in literal, allegorical and metaphorically to make it understandable and not to confuse(discuss more on this later).....if you want to take everything literal then explain to me how the sons of ADAM multiplied without wives, and where the people Cain was afraid of when cursed to be wanderer came from or how did the population increase in thousands with just six persons on earth, HOW?......The story of creation was partly literal and allegorical because nobody was there and those who told the story before it was written by moses would surely drop part of the story and summarized, we know this happen with oral tradition..... For the record the Hebrew translation for Adam is Adamar meaning from the dust.......I am a Christian but no denomination and its a wrong assertion we have about the Roman Catholic stand on the bible and in my study with their Scholars none have I seen to disagree, they have pure theology but there are exceptions......
