@divegeester saidWhat does it say about Christianity that their need for a Savior begins with a story that not many believe is true, or that Adam and Eve existed at all.
Not “many”, every Christian believes this.

@chaney3 saidWhat does it say about the crabby secondary pollen of a minor planet that they would rather engage in verbal wrangling than appreciate the source and context of their being?

@chaney3 saidNo Christian in this thread has said that the Eden account “is not true”.

I have said that it is symbolic and allegorical, which I believe it is. However I do believe that the core concepts, principles and moral mechanics are “true” and that the human race is spoiled, ruined and in need of a saviour because of pre-historic events which are depicted by the account of the garden of Eden.

@divegeester saidIs it just the resurrection of Jesus Christ, or more, or other...?
Yes of course, it’s difficult to be a Christian, or even a theist otherwise.

@chaney3 saidNo I didn’t, please read my posts rather than making stuff up.
Yet, you said the story is likely untrue.

@caesar-salad saidEvery Christian believes that the need for Christ stems from the need for a savour and the only need for a saviour is due to the origins of sin and death which is in the garden of Eden.
How do you know that?

@bigdoggproblem saidAre you going the long way about asking me for a list of supernatural things which I believe have happened? Or are you asking what I believe about the bible is literal vs symbolic or metaphorical?

@bigdoggproblem saidYou’ve lost me BDP. Not trying to dodge, just not sure what it is you’re asking.

If you want to know if I believe in supernatural stuff, sure I do, lots of it. If there’s something specific please ask.

@chaney3 saidMost of the Christians on this website not only believe that the account of Adam & Eve is "true", they also believe it is literal.
It's difficult discussing the origin of sin, and Adam and Eve.....when nobody really believes the story is even true.

(It doesn't have to be a list. Just one or two of the most noteworthy is fine.)
