You’re kidding right? GGG posts the sky is blue and he gets attacked with endless insults and lies. GGG only returns fire.

What's your point with the links? The first is a link to Jim's statement on FR's homepage. The second is a link to a thread where GGG mocked someone's sobriety and was called out for it. Is that just "returning fire"?

As I said, these threads are kept out of the Religion forum so that bad behavior can continue on both sides.

If we evolved and there was no literal Adam that brought sin and death into the world, why did Jesus need to die? A figurative Genesis undermines the very reason for the gospel.

Sin is in the world regardless of whether Genesis is literal or figurative. Either way, Jesus died for our sins. I don't care whether humans evolved or were created from dust in the garden - it doesn't affect my faith in Jesus Christ at all.

You ignored the scripture that I posted when you posted your reply. Here it is again with some more (all I have time to post right now).

Romans 5:12
“Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned”

“1 Corinthians 15:45-47
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.”

“Romans 5:17
For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.”

“Romans 5:19
For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.”

Again, I am not saying you have to believe in a literal Adam to be saved. However, the Scripture is clear that death and sin entered the world through one man (first Adam) and that through one man (Jesus) we can be made righteous. If you don’t believe in a literal Adam, you are not being consistent. Blessings!

People have been trying to keep the creation posts off of FR all together, if they fail at that, then the next effort is to “keep them in the religion forum where they belong”.

But that doesn’t work either and for good reason.

In both links this message is crystal clear.

And if you’re whining about the 10% of the time that creationists are fighting back the liberals that attack creationists 90% of the time, (and that’s being very very generous...)

oh well.
