By the powers invested in me as forum moderator, I give thee permission to prove Genesis in the new forum which I will start for that purpose

So we are waiting for your proof, GKII.

I always figured Genesis to be metaphorical, albeit with much divine interference. I'd be interested to hear of anyone's view on the subject.

It's evident that Genesis is pure truth: it is in the Bible. Reasoning:

Axiom 1: God exists (self defined)
Axiom 2: God is Truth (self defined)
Axiom 3: The Bible is the Word of God (self defined)
Axiom 4: Genesis is part of the Bible (self defined)
Axiom 5: what opposes truth is false (self defined)

Proposition 1: everything in the Genesis is true.

Demonstration 1: as the Genesis is part of the Bible, it is part of the Word of God (axiom3), which, because the axiom 2, is necessarily true. Therefore the Genesis is true, q.e.d.

Proposition 2: Science is false.

Demonstration 2: Science contradicts the Bible but, we know (demonstration 1) that the Bible is true. As anything oppsed to truth is false (axiom 5), then Science is false, q.e.d.

Etc.

Can you do it better, Gengis?

Book of Jordan 27:3

And Jesus did walk amongst the faithful whereupon he didst happen a f***ing great lizard. And his disiples did show great fear and urged Jesus to hurry away from the dinasaur. But Jesus noticed the creature did weep for it didst hath a thorn in it's foot. So Jesus went over to the T-Rex and Jesus did comfort the creature and removed the thorn from it's foot. And the dinasaur did love Jesus. And the disiples did rejoice.

 

Now lets put this dinasaurs disprove genesis nonsense right away.

While waiting for Ghenghis, can I ask thee a question? It has bugged me for ages and none of the priests and theologists I have asked over those ages, has been able to provide a comprehensive (or even cohesive and marginally serious) answer.

The question is this.

The New Testament is the life of Jesus and all and it should be the holy book of the christianity. But what is the Old Testament doing in the Bible? I mean. it's the creation story or a specific ethnic ground and religious text of the same ethnic group. By any means, it should not be there. Why, then, is it? Doesn't it confuse you btw? Who's God? The loving, caring, forgiving one of the New Testament, or the vengeful, wrathful, ruthless of the OT?

If there was any divine interference, it was all down to the angelic Gabriel. After he left, it all went downhill.

Guys,

I don't think Ghenghis will post on this thread, not after you all ganged up on him in this (quite funny) manner. He knows that a tidal wave of criticism awaits him if he proves his theories.

Cheers,

As i lift my glass of brnnvin.

i'm a church-going Catholic but not a theology expert, but maybe i can answer. Jesus saved the souls of all of mankind, so maybe God changed his attitude towards us after Jesus. and, technically, i don't know if he even became all-loving then, it might be a more recent change. throughout the dark ages and through the Reformation, God was still seen as somethign to be feared, not exactly loved. people seemed to go to church out of fear of being smited and damned.

so, God got nicer after Jesus, people just didn't realize this until recently

I'm surprised you haven't heard a coherent answer.  It is an essential part of Christianity: Jesus brought about a New Covenant, which fulfills the Old.  The Old is there as God's plan to anticipate and prepare for the New, so that when Jesus incarnated, the stage is set ready for him so to speak.  God wants to reveal the truth incrementally through mysteries, prefigurations, and signs.  He wants to thereby prepare a world to which the Savior can visit and carry out his works.

However, if you smell something fish about the apparent contradictions between the Old Testament and the New Testament, you're probably right -- the incongruence between the Old Testament and the New Testament is one reason I left Christianity for intellectual reasons.  Sometimes it almost feels like the Christians forcefully merged two sets of books together, whilst these two sets contain many contradictory things.
