In other words it denies the criteria used by science to argue against the Bible.
Well, yeah, it's pretty easy to "stand against all objections" if you declare all objections inadmissible at the outset. That's setting the bar pretty low.

No it doesn't.

Faith writes:
yes it does.
No it doesn't. The idea of no death is barely plausible but not supported by the text. The idea of a "fall" is directly contradictory to the text.

Re: Martin Luther told us humans not to compromise scripture with (heliocentric) science.
Faith writes:
Death entered with sin, scripture says that.
Funny how you insist on "spiritual" death when Adam and Eve didn't die but you insist on physical death here.
Faith writes:
And the Fall is implicit throughout the Bible.
And it's explicitly false. Becoming more like God is not a fall.
qs writes:
The fact that the Creation will be remade when Jesus returns is evidence.
You're confusing your tenses. Speculation about the future is neither fact nor evidence.

Re: The Fall
Faith writes:
Here's the Westminster Confession of Faith on the Fall:
Here's the Bible on the "fall":
quote:
Genesis 3:22-23 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
1. They became like God.
2. They hadn't eaten from the Tree of Life.

Re: Discussing Bible contradictions to examine Bible Inerrancy
Faith writes:
I don't say the KJV is inerrant, it's a translation, translations aren't inerrant.
The translations are all we have. If some spooky "original" that we don't have is inerrant, so what?

Re: Martin Luther told us humans not to compromise scripture with (heliocentric) science.
Aussie writes:
You have to go to the book of Romans, chapter 5 to find it though. In the passage the author is comparing Adam's legacy to that of Jesus. " Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned..."
According to the story, Adam was the first man so yes, he did "bring sin into the world." How else would it begin? And yes, he did "bring death into the world" - for humans. That's a simple mathematical necessity, not a basis for doctrine.

Your quote is bracketed before and after by the Old Testament and the New Testament:

Genesis 4:15 And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
God Himself specifically forbade killing the first murderer.
quote:
John 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
And Jesus pointed out that even IF murderers deserve to die, none of us is qualified to kill them. (There's that pesky, "Judge not lest ye be judged," thing again.)

Re: death penalty.
Faith writes:
Doing away with the death penalty because of human error is not the right solution.
quote:
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Which is why the Biblical standard is:
quote:
John 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
Nobody is qualified to cast the stone.

Re: Tenets of the faith
Faith writes:
"Let your yes be yes and your no be no. All else is of the devil" said Jesus.
I couldn't resist:
quote:
Matthew 5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
The context is (verses 34-36) about swearing oaths, so you'd better throw out your Oath of Allegiance.
And the VERY next verse is:
quote:
Matthew 5:38-39 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
which you're comfortable ignoring.
Faith writes:
They do happen to be standard orthodox beliefs that can be answered that simply.
Are you aware that EVERY religion on earth has orthodox beliefs? So almost all orthodoxy is wrong.

Satans whole error, in reality, was imagining that he could.
You work hard at forgetting, don't you? It Was GOD who said that Adam and Eve DID become more like Him. Satan has nothing to do with it.

You are forever like a smart alec 14-year-old challenging the status quo.
But I'm not the one who is challenging the Bible. You are.
Phat writes:
Nowadays, you think you have grown up and have science and evidence on your side, but all you have proven is that your opponents have no evidence to bring to the table.
Evidence has nothing to do with this case. You are flatly denying what the Bible plainly says: Adam and Eve DID become more like God. That can not be a "fall".
Phat writes:
You and I took different paths. I took the road marked Belief.
You took the road marked Evidence.
In this case, the evidence is the Bible itself. You're denying the Book on which your belief is based. You're breaking your own circle.

Re: The Road Not Taken
Phat writes:
We can agree that the evidence is expressed in words. We just don't agree with what evidence we are talking about, the source of such evidence, and the implications of modern evidence, primitive superstition, and the wisdom spoken in the words expressed.
You don't get your own private evidence. Evidence is what everybody agrees on.
If we have a dead body with a hole in the chest, it is evident that it is dead: there are no vital signs, it is at room temperature, etc. The hole in the chest is also evident to everybody. What is NOT evident is: what caused the hole, whether the hole was the cause of death, etc.
In the case that you're trying to weasel out of, it is evident that the Bible says, "And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us...."
GOD SAID IT. Do you deny that? Is that not evident to you?
