Theist. Who is your Lord and Monarch? Satan or Jesus?

GIA uses the bible and what it says to base his threads on. Whether or not he does what it says is irrelevant.

Sure.
I have to quote them to show how stupid they are.

What should I quote? Hamlet.

I actually have to quote you where God said that A & E became as Gods?

I see you know your bible well.

Nice deflection again showing that you refuse to think for yourself. Rather pathetic when even simple answers or questions baffle you.

Have another go at deflection.

Is becoming as Gods, as God said, a good thing or not?

If it is that simple then quote it or are you afraid of revealing yourself?

To the enlightened mind, it is clearly a good thing. That is where we agree. However, in the story, God saw it as a bad thing. This indicates to me the author of the story did not have an enlightened mind. Unless you propose the author wished to portray God in a negative light which seems unlikely. That seems to be where we disagree. But you and I agree on a lot more than we disagree. :thumbup

OK BornReady, where did God claim if Adam & Eve ate of the fruit they would be as gods?

I don't know if he did. It's been awhile since I read the story. But God did say Adam & Eve could discern good from evil now or something like that. In the story God was displeased by that. I think it is good we can discern good from evil. It means we have a moral compass. But I should point out I don't actually believe this story. It is a myth but is still valuable in that it gives us a peek into the ancient Hebrew mind or at least one of their minds.

Thanks for your answer and you make some good points. GIA claims God told A & E if they ate they would be like gods. I don't remember reading that so I am only asking for clarification.

Yes. This is good.

I would point out that the Jews who originated the Eden myth did see it as good.
The Christians had a different agenda of suppression and slavery and reversed our elevation to a fall.
More $$$$$$$$$$$$ in a fall than not.

God did not till after the fact.

It was the talking snake who gave them more truth of the positive consequences before the fact.
God was guilty of not fully disclosing those consequences and therefore lie to A & E.

Yet you still don't quote the bible where you get your story. Could it be that your story is wrong and you are afraid of being found out?

 

[Greatest I am]

It all happens in Genesis 2 and 3.

As usual, non-theists know more of the bible than so called believers.

You refuse to answer the questions because you fear your own answers. Pathetic.
