    How could possibly have lived a life (previous) of debauchery without any knowledge of "nanner pudding". It is southern, it is quaint, and it is GOOD!

    Let me dispel the myth, we don't all live in mobile homes, although they can be convenient, and marry our cousins. Some of us have college degrees. :)

    I don't eat opossum, raccoon, or most other varmints. Beef, chicken and pork are my favs. Of course, grits go with most anything.

    Oh now you have gotten personal & lost you sense of objectivity. Is that how you "Debate"?

    Who was it that wrote the post advising about not using the word "Your" in an accusatory fashion?

    Correct. Forever is it the thoughts and intents of the heart upon which God looks. On earth, had David abstained, he would have been innocent. No prophet sent. No judgment upon his house. But according to Heaven, the deed was done, and he was guilty.

    So too with Adam. Only a corrupt heart will desire something other than total and complete obedience to God. The assertion that Adam was pure and good until he swallowed is absurd. Had he been pure and good, he wouldn't have touched the fruit.

    Adam was corrupted, and his disobedience is the fruit thereof.

    None. The corruption wasn't a result of sin, the sin was the outward working of corruption. What does an iron hinge do to rust? Yet a rusty hinge squeaks something awful.

    Sorry, if you reject the premise, you'll reject the answer. Oh. And your assumption about my thoughts is, like most of your assumptions, mistaken.


    And, God said if you kill, you will be in danger of the judgment. But what did Christ say?

    What you have is a very narrow view of God's commands, but God's commands are exceeding broad, Psalm 119:96. Not to eat of the tree was a commandment not to touch it, just as the commandment against killing is a prohibition of anger, and the commandment not to commit adultery is a prohibition of lust.

    Always—always—God looks upon the heart.

    Again, another unsubstantiated assumption.

    I give you Christ's words. Who cares what I think?

    But . . . do you think you have presented a case where no sin or corruption existed before the partaking of the fruit? Didn't you just call Eve's belief concerning touching the fruit a lie of the Devil?

    While my personal favorite is Pecan Pie, Banana Pudding is delicious and I bet you would like it if you tried it.

    And the North has it own quirks when it comes to food, I never saw anyone pour ketchup on mashed potatoes and even green peas till I came north. I have actually seen a few Northerners order grits before, and then pour milk and sprinkle sugar on them. That is blasphemy to a Southerner!

    The north does have the best pizza and sandwich shops though, I'll give them that. But when it comes to Bar-B-Q, the South rules!

    I'm getting hungry.

    Well, Brother Aaron, you haven't proved your point whatsoever. If Adam had sinned outside of eating of the Tree, then God lied. Sin is what brings death, and w/o sin, there can be no death.
