Ever thought that Jesus came to show us how to live?

You see, a literal interpretation of Genesis is completely unsupported by evidence. Period. There is no way around this except to deny reality (which is a good sign of insanity). A more allegorical reading of Genesis, however, does not have this problem, which is why such readings have been embraced by the Roman Catholic church as well as a number of mainline Protestant churches. One need not reject Scripture or its Truth -- one need merely reinterpret it in light of the evidence, which is exactly what the various churches have been doing since the Rennaissance.

Thats an interesting idea.
Perhaps you can start a religion that goes along those lines ... or just join one of the many that are out there.

The problem is that the Bible has this theme that runs all the way through it.
Sin... death .. Saviour ... life

Now granted you don't have to go along with it. You can go with whatever you want .
But it's not right to make up a religion and then say it's what the Bible teaches ...

The whole point of the book is to reveal to us our need for the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross.

If we are just suppose to live a certain way , what was the cross all about?

If this be true, He did a mighty poor job!!!
