Whether literal or symbolic... the message is the same.
This is a damnable lie. It's not the same as I have pointed out ad nauseum.

As a matter of fact... the message is the same. If a person reads it and believe Adam is a parable teaching us that mankind has fallen. And this person reads and believes that we are all fallen because of the state of mankind as described after the fall. The message is the same.
Myself... I believe it literally. But those that accept the same outcome that I accept... well there are a lot of more things more important to argue about. Those that accept man's fallen state whether through parable or literal Adam still accept man's fallen state.
