Some people would say that George W. Bush is the worst president ever, but that doesn't make it true now does it? Only God's Say-So makes something True! He said EVERY WORD in the Bible, therefore EVERY WORD in the Bible is Literally TRUE. END OF STORY!

Re: Hello!

Some people would say that whole Adam-Eve-tree-of-knowledge-talking-snake shingding is obviously metaphorical and symbolic. Not to mention the great flood, pillar of salt, pillars of fire and cloud...

Why would a pillar of salt be metaphorical?

These people are called "liars". Pay them no heed.

Re: Hello!

I am unsaved so I haven't figured it out yet. (Although I'd probably lean towards it being a symbol of...something.) I was thinking (is that allowed?) it may be some kind of foreshadowing to the "We are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its saviour" blah blah blah verses in the New Testament.

Indeed. It doesn't look very salty though and is completely different from the one shown in my Children's Bible w/illustrations. I am disappointed.

Brother Temperance and John, I am convinced!

Re: Hello!

Uhhhh...why would I want Jesus' seed? That sounds like something a Catlicker would say.

Brother Temperance, rest assured that I will not be making pilgramages to Ethiopia any time soon.

Have you not read the holy Bible (KJV1611)?

Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him:
And he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
1 John 3:9

You NEED His seed. EVERYONE DOES.
You interpret the word too sexually however, but I guess that tells me something about you.
Lust is a sin, harlot.

Hey, Pastor Pistle agreed with me! Are you calling him a harlot too? Because that would be funny.

I'm guessing this "seed" is another metaphor? But this leads me to another bit of confusion. I thought that everyone was a sinner in the eyes of God, even Christians, because no one is perfect except Jesus! Am I missing some kind of context?

Im sure the good Pastor was only pulling my leg.
Because he knows the Bible better than both of us put together..

And I only call you a harlot because of your deviant sexual practices, nothing else.
The good Pastor would never engage in such things, and don't ever try to insinuate it either.

Of course you're confused, you're a woman.
Just keep praying and putting your faith in Jesus, you may understand eventually.

Get your husband to explain to you at home as the KJV1611 says.

PRAISE JESUS!

We have handed our lives over to Jesus. His Blood has washed us clean of sin, and His Seed remains in us and prevents us from sinning again. Clear?
