Biblegateway is a great site, especially when the
religious fanatics try to pass off an embarrassing
Bible passage as "just an allegory" or a "translation
error"
Like YOU know so much.
More than you.
"Man is the one who went unclean
and ate the wrong things. Man wanted
to rule so god gave him the world
and said live in the world and die or
live in me and live. Man chose the
world".

None of that is in the Bible.
It is.
There is a reason you run away every time
I ask you for a Bible passage proving that.
Is there? Maybe it because you are a non believer and it's
a waste of time.
More likely because there's no such passage and you're just full of
shit.
"Man is the one who went unclean
and ate the wrong things. Man wanted
to rule so god gave him the world
and said live in the world and die or
live in me and live. Man chose the
world".
