Who told the first lie?
by nicolaou inthis is a continuation of the discussion which sprang from an unrelated topic.. so according to genesis, who told the first lie?
god told eve that if she ate from the tree of knowledge she would die that very same day.

The claim that the practice of including ānarrativesā in modern law books was adopted from the Mosaic Law (itself derived from Babylonian law and other early influences) is a simplification. Western legal systems have been developed through various influences, particularly Roman law and English common law. Stating the facts of specific cases in law books is more strongly tied to English common law rather than a direct or intentional adoption of Jewish tradition. The cases establishing case law refer to actual events rather than cautionary fictional tales. Also, the presence of the Ten Commandments in courtrooms or on state land is a reflection of cultural heritage rather than legal foundation. It is a frequent lie, especially in the US, that Western laws are ābased on the Ten Commandmentsā. More than half of the Ten Commandments are not laws in the US, and the establishment clause of the US Constitution prohibits the first 4.

KalebOutWest:
This is an example of "The Mandela Effect,"
Not really. The Mandela Effect refers to details that are widely misremembered, not simply a widespread incorrect belief that a mythical story is historical. (MMM didnāt say that God told them it was wrong, but only that it would be pointless to do so if they didnāt understand that anyway, so that wasnāt an example of the Mandela Effect in the scope of the narrative either. Itās just speculation about details that are not provided.)
Of course the rest of the point still holds aside from the semantics though.

Don't waste your time Jeffro. God's lies are the theme of this topic so obfuscation is the least we can expect from his followers.
Oh I know. But heās the foil, not the audience.

What a load of nonsense. The chemistry is already understood (and if it werenāt, your position would still just be an argument from ignorance anyway). Thereās no need for a sky wizard. And metabolism of cells has nothing to do with a ātruer selfā (whatever that means). š
Only theists claim that life arises from āscattered dustā.
Still no meaningful definition provided.

Halcon:
Hehe, you have a way of verifying if spirit matches up with my definition?
Well I said itās unverifiable so obviously not. š¤¦āāļø If your comprehension skills are this poor, itās obvious why you got so many of the details wrong about the āAdam and Eveā story. Thereās no evidence for a deity and your prattle about a ātruer selfā is esoteric drivel that doesnāt even relate to your first attempt at a definition. In reality āspiritā is a superstitious placeholder for whatever nonsense the ābelieverā feels like it is at the time.

Has The "Evil Slave" Died Out?
by Sea Breeze inthose of us who have deep roots into watchtower remember the shadowy whispers about "the evil slave" when we were kids.. for those that need to get up to speed: .
the internal crisis came to its full with the occurrence of an outstanding bible-predicted event, namely, the coming of jehovahās āmessenger,ā christ jesus, to jehovahās temple for judgment in the spring of 1918, to separate the āfaithful and discreet slaveā class from the āevil slaveā group.

The āevil slaveā is a motif in a parable. So because it isnāt actually a thing that exists, it would be accurate to say it hasnāt died out.

Still waiting for a meaningful definition of āspiritā.
Because the previous attempt was entirely asinine, itās probably worth clarifying the difference between a definition and a function. If someone says a blurgle is hiding their socks, āthe thing that hides socksā is not a definition of āblurgleā. Itās just an argument from ignorance.
