That is ALL it teaches.
* would you say the sacrament of baptism is the picture show of showing us we need to die to ourselves before we can become reborn ?
* would you say it shows us the trinity ?
* would you say that the light of the moon (satan) will only show us a mirrored image ( twisted around) version of the true light?
* would you say it shows angels were created in darkness ?
or would you say ; your sure of all it says ?
Everything in Genesis is meant to convey that truth, but it is done in the ancient Semitic style of writing, using allegories, fantastic imagery, and all based on traditions that were handed down for centuries. I do not believe there was a serpent, or a tree, or a garden, etc. These are all images & allegories, in a certain style of writing, meant to convey the fundamental truth I stated above. |
would it surprize you ; that i disagree
* and yet there is allegory
* and since genesis was given to moses and not passed down none of it is based upon traditons passed down
