(101,320 posts)Even if you're a six (24 hour) day creationist, why would you think God needed a bit of a live body to create yet another living being, given everything else you believe him capable of?
Damn weird thing to say during a campaign.

(6,180 posts)In Heaven, Angels, Archangels, Lords...all those beings in those, and even higher realms, were created by God. They don't reproduce; don't have to, they're eternal, energy beings. They don't get sick or injured, don't get old, and don't die.
So, they don't need to reproduce. There are no male and female Angels. There are only Angels, etc.
It's only down here in 3D that people are born, live, and die. Reproduction is necessary to continue the species and provide bodies for Angels to incarnate into.
That occurs when an Angel breaths a soul into a new born baby when it takes it's first unaided breath.
So, if you considered all the Angels in heaven to be unisex, they could be referred to as Adam.
When humanity began down here, another sex was needed to allow for reproduction. This lead to the allegorical formation of Eve from Adam's rib.
That's what this biblical story is all about.
It's all about the need to add a second sex for reproduction to allow for a continual creation of new human bodies that Angels could inhabit and thus have third dimensional experiences with on the earth.
So, why do we need to go through this? Simple, we need to develop individualized consciousnesses in an environment where we are somewhat challenged...a classroom so to speak.
The biggest lesson we need to learn here is the lesson of Love.
This is necessary for Angels, who start off as part of a group consciousness, to develop as individuals so they can eventually graduate into a full fledged Angel, and eventually an Archangel, and so on. It takes many lifetimes to learn the lessons of Love.
There is an old saying, "Light gets you here, Love takes you home".
It's that simple!
You aren't going home with a heart full of hate.
Love is the opening door. Love is what we came here for. No one can offer you more.
When you finally know what I mean, and your eyes have truly seen this truth, they you're ready to leave this place behind.

Adam's rib didn't actually produce Eve.

(7,107 posts)The Bible is patriarchal fiction. Its made up by Bronze Age humans in Mesopotamia. Magic isnt real. Tales of God and Jesus and angels, etc., are stories, just like the Epic of Gilgamesh and accounts of Zeus, Thor, Isis, Mohammad, Ganesh, Trickster Raven, Joseph Smith, Wonder Woman, Harry Potter, Pippi Longstocking, etc. This stuff makes less sense than a monster swallows the sun at night. There is zero evidence to support the sexist nonsense in the Bible.

(14,047 posts)and that is proof. Never mind more than a century of x-rays and thousands of years of human remains - they believe this because... Bible.
Now, I tend to avoid these kind of "thinkers", but I do wonder if a man loses a hand in accident, do they think all his sons will be born with only one hand?
