A seemingly nonexistent control problem among indigenous cultures. For example…
[i]"The author Edward T. Hall recalls how, when he worked on Indian reservations in the 1930’s, the Indians seemed to possess an amazing quality of patience. In contrast to the Europeans, who fidgeted impatiently and become irritable, the Indians he saw waiting at trading posts and hospitals never showed any sign of irritation whatsoever, even if they had to wait for hours. As he writes:
An Indian might come into the agency in the morning and still be sitting patiently outside the superintendent’s office in the afternoon. Nothing in his bearing or demeanor would change in the intervening hours… We whites squirmed, got up, sat down, went outside and looked toward the fields where our friends were working, yawned and stretched our legs… The Indians simply sat there, occasionally passing a word to one another."[/i] - from The Fall
The fact that other cultures produce populations that can control these compulsions is further proof that this is not free will. All humans, by definition, have equal amounts of Free Will.
And yet we encounter some populations that can sit better than others. I would suggest this means some cultures are better able to produce people who suffer less from compulsions.
That is entirely based on scriptural interpretation that is in contention. Another wave of human creation prior to Adam changes the explanations that came before. There’s two groups in this context. One of which has free will(Adam), the other, the image of God(pre-Adam).
I think your version of Christianity qualifies as a completely different school of thought. You spend all this time making exceptions for a long list of things… and I don’t see any end in sight.
Your heaven does’nt seem to be any better than RTB’s…
Your philosophy doesn’t seem to be any better than the Unitarians.
And none of it really connects the dots for me… apparently one of the major dots serving as the grand exchange of all paths of information is inside your brain.
I think we should let it stay in your brain.
That’s not surprising. Considering previous versions of Christianity were formed long ago before we knew as much as we know now. There are some things that I’ve been trying to show are clarified with interpretation done through the current state of demonstrable knowledge.
Probably not officially … but any heaven where you are rewarded for coming up with some of your “re-synthesis” of Biblical ideas is bound to be a pretty unorthodox heaven.
As for your use of modern ideas and modern knowledge… I think other writers do it better than you do. You invent too many novelties for me to get much pleasure out of it… plus the fact you insist on items that are inconsistent with Genealogical Adam (which we’ve already addressed many times).
“Entirely consistent with the genetic evidence, Adam and Eve, genealogical ancestors of us all, could have been de novo created in the Middle East, as recently as 6,000 years ago.”
