since the angels that followed satan could take on human form and even have sex and bear offspring to females of earth why would satan not have used this avenue instead of talking through a snake .?
which really makes no common sense ?.
why wouldnt eve question how a snake could talk?
its easy to understand--ask any dub!
the talking snake is symbolic..
however--adam was real----so was eve.
god creating the world is real--but the 7 days of creation is symbolic.
god creating adam--real--taking a rib out to make eve--? symbolic.
garden of eden--? real---no--symbolic.
the book of genesis--real--the old testament ?----
please note all the above information is subject to change.

i really miss the door to door work--i was a pioneer!
oh--that was 50 years ago lol.
i'm a new member so wanted to say 'hi'.
i live in the u.k, was born in, fell away as an unbaptised publisher, got baptised in my 30s for reasons i'm retrospectively unsure of, and lost my faith about five years ago around the time of the original a.r.c.
now, being unable to leave is making me physically, emotionally and mentally ill.. i'm not strong enough to da and live with the family consequences, and despite having several good friends outside the faith, none of them could support me in an active way as such.

this can only be a good sign.. my old congregation in liverpool has had a lot of money in it's bank account for years.

i don’t remember having any invisible friends when i was a really little boy, i don’t know if such a thing actually exists, i’ve only ever seen it in movies?
of course it might have looked to others like i was talking to someone on occasions, but i’m sure it would have just been me talking to myself.
the thing is though, i got introduced to an invisible friend in my pre-teens, and i kept the relationship going well into adulthood.
