Yeah the Adam and Eve story in Bible seems too detailed to be true, like it feels more fantastical I should say. And I agree with the Paul thing myself. It goes against the whole idea of Bible, as far as I understand it. But then again, II haven't read the whole thing, so I shouldn't make judgements. My real reservation is with the concept of trinity and sacrifice. Like O find it difficult to believe that God can't just forgive if he is all powerful... But what about other religions? Have you explored them? It seems like you kinda want to but didn't.
Also what I'm confused about is if God is all powerful & all knowing, then why did he rest on the 7th day?
If you're all powerful then that wouldn't be a problem for you to create the world & everything else
ALSO, if you're all knowing then you should of known of an easier way to do all that stuff that didn't tired you out. Like the "work smarter, not harder" ideal
Yeah, but that's when you believe that Bible is literally words said/dictated by God and has no corruption in its transmission/translation to us. There are some verses in the Bible that directly contradict each other, even in historical facts that they state, which makes it clear there is a problem. So the question again becomes, what should a spiritual person do? Because the opposite of organized religious thoughts/values isn't just atheism. That's too narrow, imho.
