Why do we(anything) need to eat?

Seems like the title of this sub forum would have been a tip off...….

May have required some Googling.

Starfish and Sea Anemones are asexual.

You're too late buddy. This was not the echo chamber they were looking for.

What slays me is that there is zero acknowledgment when we inform them about things that they are misinformed/under-informed about. Then again, it may be a willful exercise to only want to know what fits their beliefs.

The avoidance is an acknowledgment.

Perhaps their avoidance of this thread means there is doubt in the validity of Genesis.
"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:"
Who is us?

Exactly
The Jews believed in many gods. They wrote about this one in particular because this one god out of all the others chose the Jews to be "his" people. They were his and he was theirs. Still works that way today.
These modern "believers" have no idea about the history of the basis of their own religion. The Jews believe Adam was the first Jew, the first man of their race. That god made him to create more followers for that god.
Other gods made other people.

But like with all religions, somebody is always wanting to invent the better mousetrap, err god. Paul's version of Yaweh 2.0 branched off of hard core Judiasm to include the Gentiles. And a new god for the new followers too.

Eve bit it first. Then enticed Adam.

Eve didn't have a covenant.

Can child support be so high that even God can’t pay it?

Reminds me of the Blazin' Saddles scene taking applications from outlaws. What are your qualifications? Rape, train robbery, rape, bank robbery.

"You said rape twice." "I like rape."

It may have been his Son. Which brings us back to the image thing. God was already a Father because he already had a Son. The family was already a thing even without sexuality. Gender was already a thing. Gender roles were already in place. The Son was submissive to the Father.

Unless God was only referring to the image humans would become. Knowing the His son would become that image.

It takes a bit of faith or mental gymnastics to make it work.

 

[Artfuldodger]

Why did we even need to become humans? If I already existed in a family with a Father and Son, why did I need a body to redeem myself spiritually?
If I was created in that image. If that image was only spiritual as some believe.

I don't know, I can see were if there is a god he would have made ME in his image, but I'm fairly certain that unless god is a mental midget or borderline retarded most humans were made in the image of something else entirely....

“You’ve got to admit it’s a bit of a pantomime, though,” said Crawly. “I mean, pointing out the Tree and saying ‘Don’t Touch’ in big letters. Not very subtle, is it? I mean, why not put it on top of a high mountain or a long way off? Makes you wonder what He’s really planning.” ---Giood Omens

All my dealings with mankind have taught me I am an anomaly rather the norm. I certainly do not believe I fancy a deity but I do hold myself in high esteem. My imagination isn't wild enough to picture the attributes of such an entity and I would not want to worship something with my kind of shortcomings.

Which brings us back to polytheism. Jesus and god are two separate deities.

Key word:
