Catholic Cardinal Denies Adam and Eve Existed

 

[Catholic Cardinal Denies Adam and Eve Existed Proclaiming the Gospel Ministries] "Cardinal George Pell, head of the Roman Catholic archdiocese of Sydney, Australia, says Adam and Eve didn't exist. Appearing alongside atheist Richard Dawkins on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Q&A program, Pell said the Bible's account of Adam & Eve "is a very sophisticated mythology to try to explain the evil and the suffering in the world." He said it is impossible to say when there was a first human, referring to his belief that man evolved from the animal kingdom. The foolish "cardinal" thus turns the Bible into a fairy tale and makes the prophets and Jesus Christ out to be either deceived or liars. Why would Catholics trust their clergy for the truth concerning their salvation when they cannot trust them for the truth concerning creation. Their foolish error is soundly rebuked by the authority of God's Word. Adam is mentioned by name 31 times in the Bible. He is treated as an historical man by the author of Luke (Luke 3:38), Paul (Rom. 5:14; 1 Cor. 1:15:22, 45; 1 Tim. 2:13-14), and Jude (Jude 14). In Matthew 19:4-5, Jesus quoted Genesis 1:27 and Genesis 2:24 and stated unequivocally that God created the first man and woman." Read more  

 

Response to comment [from other]: "And this surprises anyone, how?"

No surprise. All authority comes from God and his word. The Roman Catholic religion has nothing to do with Christianity (Col 2:16-23). The are all about being seen by men (Mt 23:5).

 

Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "Gotta love 'em. Their love of Catholicism, it just warms my heart."

 

It is loving to tell the truth (Ac 20:20).

 

Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "Which explains why you presented this lie here: Quote [from text Proclaiming the Gospel Ministries]:  'Cardinal George Pell, head of the Roman Catholic archdiocese of Sydney, Australia, says Adam and Eve didn't exist....'"

 

Proof please.

 

"Shame on you."

 

You do not have a biblical worldview.

"It's significant that Serpent felt the need to deceive to make her point.  Matthew 7:16...  He was talking about Serpent."

 

I think he was talking about people like this: Former St. Gabriel's priest charged with sex assault on a child

 

"Mt 7:16 You will know them by their fruits. See note on 3:8. False doctrine cannot restrain the flesh, so false prophets manifest wickedness. Cf. 2 Pet. 2:12–22." MacArthur, Mt 7:16.

"
Mt 3:8 Repentance itself is not a work, but works are its inevitable fruit. Repentance and faith are inextricably linked in Scripture. Repentance means turning from one’s sin, and faith is turning to God (cf. 1 Thess. 1:9). They are like opposite sides of the same coin. That is why both are linked to conversion (Mark 1:15; Acts 3:19; 20:21). Note that the works John demanded to see were “fruits” of repentance. But repentance itself is no more a “work” than faith is (see note on 2 Tim. 2:25)." MacArthur, John Jr: The MacArthur Study Bible. electronic ed. Nashville : Word Pub., 1997, c1997, S. Mt 3:8

"Serpent just made it up."

 

Proof please.

 

"It's the way she works."

 

You're projecting again (Eph 4:14).

"Serpent thinks it's O.K. to deceive if it's for a good cause."
