According to this site, it was all metaphor- http://www.crystalinks.com/adameve.html
Adam & Eve stems from Middle Eastern Folklore.
“It’s not easy being rich!” Okay, I’m going to give you some translations to the following verses which dogmatic/Fundamental Christianity teaches:
1 Peter 1:3 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,”
Jesus giving some knowledge on how to be accepting to our neighbor.
1 Peter 1:25 “But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.”
Love everyone.
John 3:3-5 “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
Wash you karma away.
“Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?”
I was already born.
“Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.”
Highly made up. You can tell by the poetic writing, that it was written from the Renaissance era.
Now religious factions teach that if you don’t follow their rules, then you will not make it to Heaven. Instead you will go to hell. The thing is, these factions also teach of a loving and caring God. How can a loving God condemn you to hell? In fact, why would a loving God create a Satan, which will bring you down to hell, if you don’t follow His and Her rules?
They use the bible to as a literal reference to show hate and bigotry to others. But if you read the bible, then you will realize that it’s full of contradictions, which were created by Religious Right. How can God be all-loving, and at the same time hate gay people?
Sylvia Browne has taught in her book Mother God, that God has a feminine side to it. Now, the feminine side, has nothing to do with being a woman. Mother is Pure Emotion while Father is Pure Intellect. We both have masculine (intellect) and feminine (emotion) sides to our brains. Emotion is our right side, while our left side is intellect. This has NOTHING to do with being a man or a woman.
Sylvia’s teachings are Gnotistic, of the Essene chapter.
Matthew 24:36 (NIV) "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
No one knows –except God- when we will all learn Christ’s teaching of love and acceptance.
Matthew 24:42-44 (NIV) "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
A repeat of verse 36.
I don’t believe in the Second Coming of Christ. It’s not literal. It’s meant to mean that in the latter days, that people will realize that God is Pure Love and NOT Vengeance, and that Jesus taught pure Emotion. His message was love your neighbor, as yourself. No strings attached such as homophobism, heterophobism, racism and other things which cause extreme hate…
If we took a holiday
Took some time to celebrate
Just one day out of life
It would be, it would be so nice
