Who told the first lie?

by nicolaou in

this 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.

in response to that statement the devil told her she would not die.. eve ate from the tree and did not die.

if adam and eve couldn't obey even a simple command about not touching a fruit despite not lacking a thing and not being hungry

i wonder how they would have faired with a command about not taking part in child pornography

seems the fruit was an easier boundary

what do you think?

@simon - you sound like a very protective parent

that is a beautiful thing

i wish there were more like you in the world

who would defend the lowly instead of attacking them

a wise man protects innocent ones

instead of taking advantage of them for selfish purposes

did you skip the first two chapters of genesis?

notice how the word "day" is used:

they did die "that day"

we're still in "that day" and adam and eve aren't around because they're dead

god doesn't lie

but i know someone who does

Alteration of Revelation 3:14 in the 4th century to support the emerging Trinity doctrine

by slimboyfat in

in an earlier thread another poster asserted that there is no evidence that revelation 3:14 played a part in the 4th controversy that led to the trinity doctrine.

this was claimed as evidence that the description of jesus as “the beginning of the creation of god” in the verse was not understood to mean that jesus was god’s first creation.

the scholarly greek–english lexicon of the new testament & other early christian literature 3e (2001) by bauer, arndt, gingrich, and danker, in its latest edition states that “first creation” is indeed the probable meaning of the greek phrase.

<Kaleb said>: I am Jewish.

FragrantAddendum:
we know this messenger is jesus because he looks so much like his father....
<Kaleb said>: I am sorry, but what type of Fresh-out-of-the-Watchtower-culty reasoning is this?
We know because "he looks so much like his father"?
What?
Since when do we know what God looks like?

a faithful jewish man wrote the words of ezekiel chapter 1 verses 26-28

perhaps you are familiar with how they read in hebrew

here is one translation of those words into english...
