Allegorical perhaps? Can one believe that it is allegorical and not be heretical?

I guess one would first have to understand the stability factor { MU }of each.Then equate that with the Transient Ambient Thermal Impedance of the minds of those doing the analyzation. In other words only a small amount of current may be generated in the minds of some during analyzation thus making the final output thought negligible. Thus inaccuracies may occur.

Re: Do you believe in a literal Adam and Eve?

1. Yes!2. huh uh! 3. possible? Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]://shipslog-jack.blogspot.com/

Unless you believe we gradually evolved from a different life form, you would have to believe that there WAS a first man and a first woman.

While I believe in a literal Adam, I would give someone who didn't some grace. Some come very scientific, analytical backgrounds and struggle with things a 6 day creation period and such.If we kicked them out of the church for a belief in an allegorical Adam, we lose out on a testimony within communities we need access.The natural progression and question is where do we draw the line?

Some may be able to do so, Casey, but not you. If you believe it's allegorical, ummm, it's heretical.

How can this be

I assume most who post here are CoG, or have ties with the CoG.With that being said, how can anyone possibly believe the recorded Biblical account of the first man and woman, Adam and Eve to be anything other than REAL.I am a simple man. If I believe the BIBLE, I believe all the BIBLE. I even believe one man, Noah built a huge boat the BIBLE calls an Ark. I have no idea how God had all those animals cross oceans and come from around the world to get to the ark, but I believe what the BIBLE says.I have no idea how a man lived in a fish for three days, but the BIBLE said is happened, and I believe it.I have no idea how a man, Jesus was killed and rose from the dead, hey He even went into the heart of the earth and preached for three days. I don't know how it happened, but the BIBLE said it so I believe it.I don't even know how He radically changed my life in 1970, but He did.If I did not believe in a real Adam and Eve, how could I believe in a real Jesus? I don't even understand how such a question would come up on a board like Acts, but somehow it did.Thank you BrotherJames for your great response to this question.Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the EVIDENCE of things NOT seen Heb. 11:1.Yes my friend it takes FAITH, not human understanding to believe what God has said. I suppose I lack understanding (I do not have a real degree) so I have to rely on FAITH.We can debate OSAS, or EE or Sanctification, but how can we debate whether or not there was a real Adam and Eve Recorded Sermons @ www.pastorwiley.com
