See as a Christian I believe Jesus walked with Adam in the Garden, taught him and gave him the foundation of what was passed on after the fall. I believe that when the first books of the torah where written there was little confusion about it all.That's the first time I've ever heard of that and for some reason it's quite beautiful.
Yeah, it is I think we loose touch of that some times.

The Bible also talks about those who where in and among the people before the flood that were not human and they liked the ladies if you know what I mean.Are you talking about the nephelims?
Kinda this is a little before them actually.

See here is something I think is interesting before nimrod idolitry isn't really mentioned, polytheism if you will. But we know that these god like things existed by earlier accounts. So what the hech was going on. I have some theories well they aren't all mine but I like to think I expound on them.
I would like to hear your theories.

So in this blog you posted Eric, http://www.freedomtorch.com/blogs/15262/2775/partisan-politics-are-today-s-di - a POLITICAL blog you ended it by saying "May the Gods and Goddesses Bless You" Why would you have said that if you didn't want to hold up a big giant flag screaming I'M A PAGAN - ASK ME ABOUT IT!? Where do you see any of us posting "May God Bless You" at the end of all our political blogs? No, it's really obvious. Denials and all. And of course you deny it. Because that's what proselytizers do.
Believe what you want Jonathan. had you posted May God Bless you I would never consider you trying convert others to your religion. Like I said, if whatever I do or say offends you, block me instead of continuing childish rant about something that has no substance. I profess my religion as everyone does on here. It's not meant to offend.
As a side note when I state Gods, it includes the Abrahamic God.

Here's an interesting series on this subject, thought you might be interested:

Obversely, the God of the Holy Bible says the earth is round (sans corners for enormous dwarves to perch) and that "He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, [and] hangeth the earth upon nothing." Job 26:7 Man, having seen the earth from space for decades now, which view best reflects reality and would therefore be the more logical source for truth?
The Bible states the Earth round, okay, but the Earth is more of a sphere than just round. A plate is round, however not spherical as the Earth. The sphere wasn't a far fetched concept to explain as such if the Bible is the word of God. Unles, there's a verse that specifically states the Earth as a sphere and not simply as round?

Conveniently, you ignored Hassans observation of your "religion". That says a lot about your faith in your "religion". Not fun having one question your "religion" is it?

Ignored? No, I just didn't how it was relevent to my wanting to understand more about Genesis 1:26. I have much respect for Hassan. He's highly intelligent with a vast mental database of information. The Yggdrasil tree can be either a literal thing or figurative thing that connects the Nine Worlds. But that's getting off topic. The topic is Genesis 1:26. How is trying to understand better certain Christian verses is questioning ones religion? If people feel swayed or offended by someone bringing up certain questionable verses makes them feel as if I'm questioning their religion, I must wonder how strong their faith is. It's kinda like when an atheist gets all up in arms whenever you bring religion into a discussion. Is their faith in the non-existence of deity so loose that they, in the back of their minds, question the probability of deity?
CR, I do notice that you also totally ignored the topic as well.

Why should I answer? It has already been spelled out for you. I can't help it if your silly mind can't wrap itself around the concept. Get right with God or suffer the consequences of your beliefs.
Christ is the way!

This is why I ask questions, to learn so I can "wrap my silly mind" around this concept. If you nothing to add to the conversation, then please go elsewhere.
Proselytizing to me your religion really is a waste of time considering, once again, I'm steadfast in my faith. Wrap your mind around THAT concept.

Now to my point, if Jesus and God are one in the same then why does Gen 1:26 state "in our image" instead of simply saying in my image?
Hey Eric,
Maybe this will help your understanding, the triune God or Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) is ONE God existing in 3 persons. So when in Genesis He says in our He is speaking in terms of persons. God is three coexistent, co-eternal Persons who make up God
