DeSepiero: Do u believe Adam and Eve existed? If yes, the following answer will make sense. |

DeSepiero: Good to know u believe. Firstly "the knowledge of good and evil" is one of the numerous figurative expressions used in the bible. It is a "merism". It is also like "East to West" used in other parts of the bible. A merism uses two extremes to literally signify an enormous amount of what is being talked about. If I say I searched "east to west', i may simply be saying, "i searched many places". The "knowledge of good and evil" also means tremendous amount and variation of knowledge that humans became born with the potential of having after Adam disobeyed. For example, Today the same computer many people use in saving lives is what some people also use to hack down companies and governments. Knowledge became highly varied. The sight of naked people became something else other than simple creation. And for Adam and Eve if blamed, are blamed for disobedience after Eve was deceived by the devil. Nothing else. I hope this answers u. Thanks |

DeSepiero: You people have strength to debate this nutcase. More visibility to your keyboard. Felixomor would soon burn you out with baseless arguments. Prof Dickens,as I named him, has perfected the art of 'pretentious ignorance'. You'd soon get tired of typing or he'd scream that you've quoted the bible 'out-of-context'. Better stop minding him and engage reasonable people. 1 Like 1 Share |

felixomor: How did you know that "knowledge of good and evil" as used in the Bible means tremendous amount and variation of knowledge? |
Re: God Must Be Joking! by felixomor: 10:25am On Oct 23, 2016 |
DeSepiero: By my little study of its original manuscripts compared with other places merisms occured in the bible. |

If God does not exist, what concerns you then? Can you not just live your life the way you believe and leave others believe their God? Must you argue to parsuade people to believe God does not exist, or he is a joker? Simply let us assume those that believe God exists are living in the dream, as you claim, while you are living in the bright daylight, the question still remains, "what is your business with that?" One thing i have learnt in this life is to mind my own business. My business ranging from my work, my religion, my believe, policies, principles etc. And I should not try to impose mine on others, neither do i need to rubbish theirs, or try to convince people to believe mine. If you do not believe in the existence of God, no arguement, we are all on this earth to leave again one day. Live your life and let others live. Your atheism your business, Their God their business. Leaving them believe what they believe does not make you less a believer of what you believe. That is it! Note:Read and understand my post very well it never rubbished or correct your believe, it is you i sent it to. Not your believe. You are entittled to your believe. Thank you. 2 Likes 1 Share |

ademasta: Thanks for your contribution. I will reply to this. Though i had stated this before, but in case you're coming across my writing first time, i will take the effort to educate you on why i write to demystify religious beliefs. In the real and rational world, God and his children don't fit. If they have been allowed to fit unchallenged, the world would have still remained in stone age civilization. Eg During stone age, God and his children concluded that Measles is a spiritual disease, and can only be cured by spiritual rituals. But you know now that it is horrendous and ignorant claim. Horrendous because many children died needlessly. The most pathetic part is that, till today, God and his children have not still withdraw this insidious claim. If scientists had not contended ferociously, the religious ignorance of this type, via vaccinations against Measles, what would have been the fate of many children prone to its infection? Now you have your answer. |

felixomor:I hope you realize that your study could be flawed. That aside, are you saying that Adam and Eve actually had knowledge of good and evil before disobeying God and eating from the tree? 1 Like |

akintom: U always quote things from no where. Where did God say measles is a spiritual disease? By the way the man who invented measles vaccine is a Christian. His parents were even missionaries. U just keep writing and writing abstract things. Why 1 Like 1 Share |

DeSepiero: I have already explained what "knowledge of good and evil" in that context means. So the Answer becomes obvious. |
Re: God Must Be Joking! by DeSepiero(m): 11:38am On Oct 23, 2016 |
felixomor: The problem as it stands now is that you've formed your personal interpretations of that simple literal story stemming from your beliefs. Then, these interpretation of yours, which is your opinion may not be true. |
Re: God Must Be Joking! by akintom(m): 11:40am On Oct 23, 2016 |
felixomor: Even though i had concluded on you as a guy who lives in rat holes, still, i will not allow you to mislead folks via my space. An exegesis of Genesis verses that claimed that your God placed curse (though unjustified) on legendary Adam and eve, brought disease on humans. Paul would later talk about the curse of the law, as responsible for all painful experiences in the world of men. The above Should help you understand my conclusion. Also below is a reference out of many references that claimed that your God can heal ALL diseases. Is Measles not part of all diseases? Matthew 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. James 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: James 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Overwhelming evidences abound, to disprove any healing power of your God. You're ratty, the reason therefore for your entrapment in pettiness, as always. 1 Like |

DeSepiero: Sorry no scripture is of Private interpretation. When Jesus said "give us our daily bread" Do u think it excludes beans and all other types of food? Study with open mind. |

felixomor: You earlier said "from your personal small study" you got to know that "knowledge of good and evil" is tremendous amount and variation of knowledge. That seems like your 'private interpretation'. |

Re: God Must Be Joking! by felixomor: 12:08pm On Oct 23, 2016 |
DeSepiero: Sorry, it doesnt. No type of interpretation, whether inspired or private comes to u on ur bed. U have to study. Thats what "my study" implies. And pray too. |
Re: God Must Be Joking! by DeSepiero(m): 12:13pm On Oct 23, 2016 |
felixomor: Still doesn't rule out the fact that you made a 'private interpretation' of a Bible passage whether divinely inspired or otherwise. |
Re: God Must Be Joking! by felixomor: 12:24pm On Oct 23, 2016 |
DeSepiero: Sorry, if its divine, then its not private. |
Re: God Must Be Joking! by akintom(m): 3:43pm On Oct 23, 2016 |
felixomor: You're just talking to yourself. Answering the question you asked yourself, and pretending to be answering the question asked by the examiner. The question is this: how could your legendary Adam and eve have been able to disobey your God, when your God didn't give them (prior to disobedience) sense/capacity to know what OBEDIENCE and DISOBEDIENCE is (sense of morality) ?. Can you tell a 1 year old toddler not to touch hot pressing iron? The toddler doesn't have capacity to know or understand that instructions. That's exactly the similitude of what your God did. You failed 0/100 in your response because you didn't in the first place, understand the question asked you. Go read the fictitious book well, and come and defend the ludicrous action of your God. 1 Like |
