  Observations from an Ex-Elder Part 3 - Why not create multiple Adam & Eve's?

  by doubtfull1799 in

  i saw a post the other day on another forum (think it was reddit) that put forward the idea that god should have created multiple couples, not just adam and ever.

  this idea was so simple and brilliantly logical, that i wish i'd thought of it, but i cannot claim credit!

  but it really got me thinking of the practical implications and benefits.... if god had simply created multiple couples instead of one, he would in one foul swoop have solved the problem of incest, as well as have prevented 6 thousand years of human tragedy and a ransom sacrifice being needed etc.

  @ doubtfull1799...You have some excellent points that I never even considered before.

  The creation of multiple couples?

  If the angels are gender neutral, why were they only attracted to the women?

  How Old Was Eve When She Was Tempted?

  by berrygerry in

  2. bible

  has this question ever been answered by wt or biblical apologetic?.

  if near the beginning of her creation, would she not have had the effective development of a a toddler or even a baby?.

  if so, would you sentence a toddler or a baby to death for grabbing an appealing candy from a bowl?.

  Perhaps the bigger question is this:

  How could Jesus death cover the sins of Adam AND Eve AND everyone else??
  

  One perfect life equals two perfect lives plus all imperfect lives. Makes sense.

  knocked on a door on a saturday morning.

  a window opened on the floor above me.

  a grizzled old man stuck his head out and said, " we're all heathens here!

  I just don't have the lies to give...

  a friend of mine (a jw) delivered a premature baby, and the outlook is grim.. she is posting updates on facebook, and where everyone else is offering prayers for them both, and how "jehovah loves them both very much", and i got...nothing.

  nothing that would be comforting.

  big man in the sky has zero to do with this, only medical science and chance will have any bearing on this.i wish i could lie convincingly to her and to myself and have something nice to say.

  I'm sorry to hear about the baby. How could a loving god allow children to suffer? Perhaps just say to your friend: "Hey, if there is anything that you need, please let me know".

  I'm sure there was something positive. But right now, I can't think of anything. Every time I try, I think of all of the negative things.

  Years ago, my brother was hit by a car out in field service. He wasn't hurt but it was kind of funny. Your situation is much more serious. I hope that you make a full recovery Wasanelder Once!

  "A pioneer couple herd the conversation and commented that it was the best to say as it is not possible to explain overlapping generation with the Bible."

  Drop the microphone and exit the stage.

  My wife and son were talking about going to Warwick to tour the new facility. Apparently the local dubs are getting together and chartering a bus. Jokingly, I asked my son: "Are they charging admission to tour Warwick?" My son chuckled. My wife gave me the look of death.

  In all seriousness, I wouldn't put ANYTHING past the org at this point.

  Are Children born crippled/diseased, uncared for, and dying prematurely proof that God does not exist?

  by anointed1 in

  2. beliefs

  are children born crippled/diseased, uncared for, and dying prematurely proof that god does not exist?.

  1) what do children born healthy and well cared for prove?

  2) what do babies aborted (many of whom might have led a normal healthy life, and some of whom might have contributed much to the society like many scientists, doctors, engineers ....) prove?.

  It is certainly proof that a loving and caring god does not exist, if nothing else.
