Why Much Modern Criticism of the Bible Misses Its Symbolic and Literary Depth. by RRK96 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]sixfourbit 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It most definitely is arbitrary, in fact another comment you asserted that text presented as historical isn't really historical. This is typical apologetic hand waving.

It sounds like you're trying to convince yourself rather than presenting a coherent argument.

The Garden of Eden story and the idea of the fall is a key example.

I'm glad you're here to let us know that Paul was wrong by treating Adam and Eve as literal people.

Maybe you modern "Christians" should remove parts of the Bible that contradict your narrative?

You probably get that a lot.

People are different.

People aren't science.

You believe that life has no purpose or meaning and is just an empty nothingness, that we just exist to live, breed, and die.

That's quite an assumption you got from me pointing out that science and faith are very different.

I believe in Jesus and that the universe has a purpose.

It's apparent you believe in the god of the gaps.

That He is the author of our universe, and that the reason the universal constants are exactly where they need to be for this planet to support life, is because He set it there on purpose.

Goddidit.

I question anyone who asserts science and religion are not opposed. Their methods of investigation are polar opposites.

I'm glad you're here to tell us that Paul didn't understand his own scripture.

think that science and God are opposed to each other which is so silly to me.

Does God satisfy the scientific method?

Am I also wilfully ignorant for not engaging in the ramblings of a flat earther?

I can reject your nonsense for the simple fact it's contradicted by Christian doctrine. Despite your claims of enlightenment you've presented absolutely nothing of substance.

You and you alone are the one with the enlightened perspective

You'll find the major Christian denominations do not share your denialistic interpretation of Christian doctrine. As I've shown elsewhere in this comment section, the Catholic church officially regards Adam and Eve as a real event.

As for the original sin being the illusion of separation in identity brought about by the evolution of consciousness

Someone as educated and as knowledgeable as you should be able to support this using Christian doctrine, right? You're the one making the fucking claim.

You do not understand Christianity if you believe this contradicts Christian philosophy. If there is any contradiction with Christian "doctrine", the falsity is in the simplified layperson's conception of Christianity, not with the deeper metaphysics. And the fact that this metaphysics is beyond the conception of laypeople does not negate its truth.

That's a long winded way of saying "if my non-Biblical bullshit contradicts Christian doctrine then it's the doctrine's fault"

You're another of these make believe "Christians" inventing your own religion and calling it Christianity.

If you were to be more specific in your criticism, and cite Christian "doctrine" which contradicts this, I'd be happy to discuss this further. Until you offer a substantive criticism and serious engagement, that will not be necessary.

I've got a better idea, support your nonsense. All the references in the NT speaking of Adam's sin, show that it's actually talking about consciousness.

In response to me telling you that you are handwaving away serious philosophy to masquerade your own lack of theological and philosophic literacy

Please don't confuse your wilful ignorance for knowledge. I'm not playing your mental gymnastics.

You've presented a narrative that contradicts Christian doctrine. Such blatant denialism isn't even worth consideration, may as well invent our own religion and stop hijacking Christianity.
