I did ask you where the illustration is. I already linked it. You've shown me two links and to be honest, neither of these illustrations clearly show that it was an apple. It is pretty vague. In one of those picture, it looks like a pomegranate. Whatever the case may be, these illustrations may...

I asked the question already.

New.

Grapes also have green leaves that surround them. Wikipedia has this to say: Popularly, the fruit has been identified as an apple (perhaps as a Latin pun of 'malus' sounding like 'evil' and 'apple'), although the Bible does not identify the fruit as an apple. Judaism teaches that the fruit may...

Where is the illustration? Apples are also green. What fruits are red? Cherries, Strawberries, Tomatoes, Grapes, Pomegranates, and so on. There are plenty of fruits that are red.

:( I'm sorry. Please link me to those posts that Reba and others have made about sacrifice. Thanks!

Can you elaborate more on the concept of sacrificing?

So does it make it an apple?

Stop giving away l33t c0mput312 secrets, Shawn.

Uhh, so you have to have booze and weed to make it fun? WTF? On a separate note, they say this year's brickfest is the most expensive compared to the past few years. Does that translate into fun, fun, and more fun? We'll see. It will be located at Clark's Gym with ticket prices being $25...

Interesting and valid thought. However, original sin insists that human nature is vile and disgusting that it would never do any good without a deity. We've seen that human beings are capable of both, with and without a deity.This will remain a problem unless the definition of original sin is...

Did Jesus say these exact words? Who wrote the book of Romans? I will repeat: I have asked earlier to show me verses where Jesus had said anything about original sin. I refer you to a problem with that approach: The first problem is that Judaism never had this concept until Christianity came...

The first link says: The Apple Well, fruit of some sort, but we'll call it an apple for now, as that is the traditional image. It does not necessarily mean it is an apple. It is only a traditional image, much like Jesus' own long hair/beard hippie type of look. The second link has no...

Read my response to Jordan. I am not judging anyone at all. :)

Thank you! :D

I did not want Atheists to post here because I am not interested in some crazed debate on God again. I only want to understand and learn the Christian point of view and only the Christian point of view. I also appreciate people who make clear and concise posts as it makes it easier for all of us...

I would like to address two issues to mind with the concept of original sin. While I understand the fundamental idea behind original sin, there still presents a couple of problems. A couple of you defined original sin in unique ways. However, from my own comparison of official definitions of...

I definitely understand your perspective. I would say I agree. Allow me to reword my original statement. Original: But babies who have yet to know what constitutes as a sin is not a sinner. Revised: But babies who have yet to know what constitutes as a sin is not accountable for their...

Not to hijack the thread, but with my knowledge of Islam, it says that when an individual sin and do not know of God, they will be "exempted" from being judged because they never had the chance to be aware of God. What does Christianity say of this?
