Quote by: tinybear Sometimes God can tell us some white lies, can't He? I mean you guys don't really believe the stuff about the apple and how eating it would bring disease, suffering...etc, do you? |
I'm an inverted literalist; i think there is a perspective from which the stories are true. If you're talking about the fruit of the tree of good and evil, i can imagine a perspective from which things might look that way.

And, if my memory seves me right, He lied to Abraham. He told Abraham he wanted a human sacrifice; his only son no less!

Good point. I would argue that perhaps God thought of Abraham as self; and He did sacrifice his son. Maybe:)
