first question; Does this mean that God lied about eve dying? Does that mean God justifies lying in other to achieve ones goal? If this is so that is to say there are many other lies God has told in the Bible or please explain
.

Okay, Resurgence. Lets do it this way. Before attempting to answer this very question and provide you with the best answer, kindly answer this question first. Did Eve eventually die or not, i.e, is Eve still alive or death?

In Genesis 3:2-4

2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,
3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”
4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”


first question; Does this mean that God lied about eve dying? Does that mean God justifies lying in other to achieve ones goal? If this is so that is to say there are many other lies God has told in the Bible or please explain.

In Genesis 3:8-10

"Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden
9 But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”
10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”


Note here here that God walking in the garden, does this mean that God moves for one place to the other and he is not everywhere at everytime ? also for them to have hidden and God calling out that where are you meant that God is not at all place at all time else there won't have being a need to hid in the garden.

Genesis 3:11-13

11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
12 The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”

The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”


what I'm very much curious about is how come God is asking all this questions, isn't he supposed to be the all knowing?

Conclusion; Is it save to say god is not everywhere, he moves from place to place, doesn't know what happens until he ask,(not all knowing) and he also lies to achieve his aims and he is more like a human or a super human like in cartoon where the superhuman has abilities to do things but still has his flaws?

Note; I have a very open mind, but not to worry it can be easily swayed by good reasoning . So I will appreciate if all response to my question comes with good reasoning. Also do not tell me I am reading a surface meaning to it because any other meaning will be regarded as fabricated because the Bible is the word of God and any thing outside it is man made.


Thank you! And happy Sunday kiss

If god is everywhere, then why wasn't it with Eve when the the serpent came to "talk" to Eve?

Lol. You're so lucky God is not a man. If he was you probably won't make heaven. Sometimes its better not to have access to knowledge. You've had the knowledge of physics and geography now and u think the best way to use that knowledge is to counter the creator of ur brain. Funny

Perhaps [b]God shd make u mad like nebchadnezzar for just 5da[/b]y (not 7yrs) within your community and experience the stigma that ur knowledge of biology and physics would not be able to save you from

Lmao grin. Only 5 days shocked

I specifically ask that what ever answer given to my questions be backed up by logic.

You tell me that one can lie and change the lie to truth.
Please spare me such, tell that to the Sunday school children in your church. kiss

I require only answers with logic. Thanks

All u keep saying is 'narrow minded' while u'v already blocked ur mind and concluded within u as can be seen in one of ur comments 'that there is no God'. I see no reason why u should then open the thread in d first place, truth is there are those that believe in him and that is what has been keeping us going, you want me to tell u want u want to hear not what u need to know, anyway keep searching for your answers. Happy searching, but know ye that in all it's 'openmindedness' a limit has been placed on science and that's why your kind will keep seeking answers where there are none.

I believe you're trying to do a nice thing your approach is to be questioned my opinion though

It is written (ps14:1) a fool says in his heart, there no God.

B4 u intervene, read thru d argument and knw where you stand. He said there's no God. And according to d bible, he's a fool!

DOESNT IT SOUND CONTRADICTORY IF THE SAME BIBLE THAT SAYS THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD ARE FOOLS ps14:1 is the same book that also say " ........whoever says YOU FOOL! shall be in danger of hell" Matthew 5 : 22. WHERE DOES THE BIBLE STAND?

Why does the Bible keep going back and forth. WHY?

Answer:

BECAUSE IT IS BUILT ON A CONTRADICTORY SYSTEM.

The later verses quoted afterwards to defend God walking like man, and not being all knowing in Genesis shows not only contradiction in the aattributes of God but INCONSISTENCY.
