Even if a God did exist, there are no absolutes

by logansrun in

there is no objective standard for right and wrong even if a god did exist.

god's morality is nothing more than an opinion backed up by absolute power.

might does not make right.

Wrong answer Logan,

still not an absolute.........

Where have all the good sitcoms gone?

by doodle-v in

is it just me or does it seem like there arent any really great sitcoms on t.v?.

"friends" hasnt been funny in at least two years.. "frasier" was only funny the first couple of seasons.

"malcom in the middle" and "the bernie mac show" i can tolerate and actually find pretty funny now and again.

Puternut

I agree Doodle,

I haven't watch much TV lately. There seems to be not much on anymore. Even the regular shows aren't all that great. (imho)

What 'exactly' changed in Adam when he sinned?

by gumby in

according to the dubs, and other faiths, adam was created with no defects of any kind.

he was created with no sin.

then adam sinned.

Let me have a shot at this,

There were two trees in the garden. One was the tree of 'knowledge of good and bad', and the other the 'tree of life". Adam and Eve were told not to eat from the tree of 'knowledge of good and bad'. I gather from that, that Adam was created with a perfect body, but didn't have eternal life in him, UNTIL he passed the test. Once god saw that he could pass the test, I think he would be allowed to eat from the 'tree of life'. So, perhaps one was poisonous, and the other had properties in it that would allow him to live eternally.

The fact that they were to be 'fruitful and fill the earth', tells me that they already had the ability to have sex prior to the test. All I can think of, is that the creation of Eve and the 'test' and 'expelling', must have happened fairly close together in time.

But why god would 'test' his creation, is puzzeling. The 'tree of knowledge of good and bad', was right in the middle of the garden. And they would walk by it daily to gather other fruits. It's like telling someone you cannot do something, and holding the temptation right in front of your nose. That is something that doesn't do well with me. Any father would not do that to his children.

And satan had knowledge of properties of the trees. That is why he tempted them. What exactly changed in Adam, I don't know. All I can think of is DNA structure changes.
