I posted this previously and never got any answers. Perhaps you can answer.
Most of the Christians here are not creationists and will agree that the story of Adam and Eve is metaphorical. (I believe that is even the Catholic church's standing). Well, let me throw these at you:
If Adam and Eve are metaphorical, how does original sin exist?
If there is no original sin, what sin, exactly, did Jesus come to Earth to forgive?
Sin from "Free Will" (quotes b/c free will is debateable and I am just assuming it exists for the sake of argument)? Doesn't seem like it, as we still have to ask for forgiveness.
Who asked Jesus to come to Earth?
Did Jesus even really die? He was resurrected and then granted eternal happiness in Heaven. What does dying an Earthly death mean to a divine and omnipotent creature?
