  Well, DM how in the world did you derive these conclusions from what you read? At least give explanation as to how you did.

  Jeffro, take your finger on your left hand and poke your eyeball on the right side of your face. Experience the slight pain, and tell me how many functions it took to accomplish this. Its cool how the body was designed to enjoy all that life has to offer isn't it.......you can thank GOD for that. Have a great night.

  Ok Adamah, perhaps you can give me some words I can live by using your degree of intellect. You are intellectual, yet you do not have an answer for me that explains the origin of all life on this planet earth. Instead you choose to challenge those that believe in GOD, which makes more sense than any other explanation........learn to appreciate what was given to you, a chance to live upon the planet that my GOD created.

  Psalm 8

  New International Version (NIV)

  Psalm 8 [a]

  For the director of music. According to gittith. [b] A psalm of David.

  1 Lord , our Lord,
  how majestic is your name in all the earth!

  You have set your glory
  in the heavens.
  2 Through the praise of children and infants
  you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
  to silence the foe and the avenger.
  3 When I consider your heavens,
  the work of your fingers,
  the moon and the stars,
  which you have set in place,
  4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
  human beings that you care for them? [c]

  5 You have made them [d] a little lower than the angels [e]
  and crowned them [f] with glory and honor.
  6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
  you put everything under their [g] feet:
  7 all flocks and herds,
  and the animals of the wild,
  8 the birds in the sky,
  and the fish in the sea,
  all that swim the paths of the seas.

  9 Lord , our Lord,
  how majestic is your name in all the earth!

  The kidneys filter the blood which the heart pumps.........they work in conjunction. Purification of the heart. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

  Psalm 51:10

  New International Version (NIV)

  10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
  and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

  Do you understand the meaning of the scriptures now?

  Wasanelder once,

  A magical piece of fruit that causes one to understand things immediately? Does not make sense.

  7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

  But for Adam no suitable helper was found. 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

  So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep

  [The Death of Jesus]

  28 Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” 29 A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. 30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

  he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh.

  [Jesus Pierced on his Ribs]

  32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other. 33 But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.

  Two aspects of Jesus' death have been the source of great controversy, namely, the nature of the wound in his side 4, 6 and the cause of his death after only several hours on the cross.13-17 The gospel of John describes the piercing of Jesus' side and emphasizes the sudden flow of blood and water.1 Some authors have interpreted the flow of water to be ascites 12 or urine, from an abdominal midline perforation of the bladder.15 However, the Greek word plvra, or pleura) 32, 35, 36 used by John clearly denoted laterality and often implied the ribs.6, 32,36 Therefore, it seems probable that the wound was in the thorax and well away from the abdominal midline.

  22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

  [The Bride of Christ (Women)]

  9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. 11 It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. 13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

  12 A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. 3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads. 4 Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment he was born. 5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.”[a] And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne. 6 The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.

  There are many different meanings in the bible......seek and you shall find. Jesus is referred to as the second Adam, why?
