  Doesn't an 'allegorical' Garden of Eden nullify the need for a Ransom?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have noted in the past few months or years that christians, when faced the nearly insurmountable evidence that the garden of eden events are improbable if not impossible [i refer to fossil evidence that supports hominid existence on this planet perhaps millions of years ago, as example] to overcome, that the 'fall back' position is often that the garden of eden account is just allegory, not literal.. but it occurs to me that if it is just allegorical, then there is no specific event to mark the 'fall of man' and 'original sin'.

  without that, what purpose is served with the idea of a 'ransom' in which 'the last adam' overcomes the sin of adam in the garden.

  why would nt writers refer to the events as if literal if they are just allegory?

  Thanks for posting this topic. This is what finally gave me the courage to accept that I'm not a christian. I accepted fast that I was in a cult and didn't have a hard time letting go of jw beliefs. But, it took me several months to let go of christianity even though I had doubts. It was scary for me because I didn't want to oppose God. Once I accepted the garden of eden as allegorical, I naturally realized that there is no original sin and no need for a ransom. The truth has set me free.

  Domestic Violence and Mosaic Threat Assessment

  by jamiebowers in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a crime profiler was featured on oprah last week, and he introduced a test to assess the chances of homicide due to domestic violence called the mosaic threat assessment.

  i just completed the assessment and answered the questions based on my experience in my jw marriage that ended about 20 years ago.

  please note that these results aren't based on my current marriage.

  morganphoenix: The Village is directed by M. Night Shyamalan. I haven't seen it yet but I like his movies so it'll probably be good.
