On the garden and the Tree

That’s ****.

It’s either literal, allegorical, or complete fiction.

If you believe it’s literal, then you need to explain how it is that it conflicts from our scientific knowledge without being rendered a lie.

If it’s allegorical, you need to explain how the concept of ‘Original Sin’ applies, and why JC was required to be dispatched to deal with that problem You may also wish to deal with the issue of why JC himself found it to be literal fact.

If it’s complete fiction (as I believe), you need to explain why you follow a church founded on fiction.

In regard to Adam and Original sin. This is not complete fiction.

Furthermore,
Literal and allegorical are not mutually exclusive. Genesis is not an either/or type of writing.

Would you like to amend your black or white position to get at the truth?
My particular area of interest is human nature and not YEC.

The human person is the apple of God’s eye.
