How common is it for people to take the story of Adam and Eve literally?

Posted by Quick Cash On 8:24 AM No comments

As part of an update from my last post, I've been reading the bible a lot for the past few days and essentially studying it. Personally, I take the story of Adam and Eve as metaphorical for evolution and the consequences of how humans have evolved. I was reading online about how people view the story, and found out that while some people believe it is hypothetical, some people take it literally. This interested me.

Out of curiosity, I came here to ask how members of r/Christianity view the story and if applicable, the reasoning behind your views. Also, the views of other people you know. Thank you!

Should We Come To God Out of Fear of Hell?

POSTED BY FAITH KIN ON 2:15 PM NO COMMENTS

Scared to Heaven ? Focus on the journey not the destination Faith is the journey that so many of us have been missing. In its place Christian leader’s seem to be focused on selling their followers on the absence of the destination of hell. Should this be the focus of the christian community? So many of us have heard ministers talk about the topic for years. This seems logical right, no wants the burn in flames for ever. Nor would they want a loved one to suffer such a fate. However there is something very lacking with this type of thinking. Imagine a man about to propose to his sweetheart. He gets on his knees, and looks deeply...

Yoda is RIGHT on this one! ATHEIST and Many Churches should realize Nicolo Machiavelli was WRONG! Better To Be Feared Or Loved?

POSTED BY FAITH KIN ON 10:56 PM NO COMMENTS

Nicolo Machiavelli tutored kings on this topic concerning ruling their people. It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both. - Nicolo Machiavelli Machiavelli came to a conclusion that fear was better than love. He reasoned love was a reciprocal relationship, depending on others to continue to love you in order to rule over them. He believed fear could be sustained due to the relationship being one sided. Machiavelli maybe should have had a talk with a Mr. Yoda from the Star Wars movies before he came to this conclusion. The Character has a famous quote from the movies regarding fear, and well he...

Why Your Valley Is Your Mountian Top

Valley of the Shadow of Faith We have all felt as if we were down in a valley at some point in our lives. More then the a few times for must of us. Truth is however the appearance of the valley is nothing more then a test of our faith. When things aren’t going our way its natural for us to wish things were more idea. This however is not God’s plan or else things would have been as you wish. Not to say at some point the destination your praying for won’t be realized. But at the current...

Richard Dawkins May Believe In Intelligent Design. Also Doesn’t Know Why He Believes In The Big Bang and Other Theories.

POSTED BY FAITH KIN ON 2:11 PM NO COMMENTS

Never fails to amaze me when I hear atheist tell me how evolution, the big bang theory, etc are fact. I am told how great minds agree on them so they obviously have proof. When atheist leaders are pressed to explain such theories a very different conclusion is obvious. They don’t know why they believe what they do! Not I but Richard Dawkins sentiment . Don’t believe me watch Ben Stein interview Richard Dawkins himself. Some complain that the video was edited. Truth is he said he didn’t know why he believed some of the very fundamental basics of atheist beliefs. Such as the self replication molecule! Can’t blame that on editing. Yeah...

Is Swagbucks Legit? Read my review to find out!

POSTED BY FAITH KIN ON 2:13 PM NO COMMENTS

Swagbucks at first seems too good to be true right? They are just going to give you free stuff for just searching for a word in their search engine, watching videos, answering a few simple questions. Well it turns out that is exactly how their site works. Swagbucks is no Scam! I know have been using their site daily for the past few months. I don't make a ton of cash but hey its money. I usually take in anywhere from $1.50 to $2.00 a day. Again not a ton of cash, but that more then pays for my cell phone bill each month. And most of what I am doing I would be doing anyway somewhere else for free. I...

ILLITERATE IRONY

POSTED BY FAITH KIN ON 12:06 PM 1 COMMENT

Ah the great irony of atheism. Its a basically an anti-religion religion. A religion that says no one can tell me what to think. Let think the same exact things as everyone else in their religion. Make fun of others for believing in a book, but believe in books themselves as if it was written by the hand of God. They claim to have found the greatest form of happiness, but let have the highest rate of suicide. Not to mention for some odd reason seem very angry almost all the time. Claim man kind is finally intelligent enough to figure out there is no God, but for the first time grandparents are now more literate then their grand...

Faith Explains it All

POSTED BY FAITH KIN ON 4:34 PM NO COMMENTS

I view faith as one of the most misunderstood terms in of the christian faith its self. This is very strange giving the term faith is so obviously vital to the description of our belief. However whats more startling is its grand importance to being a true believer. It would be like a race car driver not knowing what a car is. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t be counting on that guy doing well in the race. In the same way can a christian do well in the race of the christian faith without the understanding of what faith is? I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy...
