What was life like in Eden before the fall? Nice answer, +1. According to your answer "And God saw all that He made, and found it very good," doesn't apply to the world as we find it today. I find this assumption to be very difficult to accept and I think there is strong literary/thematic/textual evidence to the contrary. Moreover, I don't think Genesis 1 is talking or can be applied to the Garden of Eden at all. Perhaps we'll get a chance to discuss this issue in chat sometime. |

What exactly was the “death in the pot” @JonEricson, definitely. Also, the Elisha narratives are some of the most bizarre and enigmatic in all of Tanakh. I think the wild style in those narratives reflects the fact that Elisha himself was an enigma and the people in his own time never really understood him. |

What exactly was the “death in the pot” you are correct. I have deleted my earlier comment. Instead I meant to say: the literal translation of the Hebrew word רע is "evil." Those who translate: "there was no more bitterness in the pot" are departing from the literal meaning of the verse and offering interpretation. |

Did Ahaz burn up his sons in the fire or pass them through the fire? What does "byd" mean and what does "akot" mean? |

When did Jonah compose his prayer in chapter 2? You may very well be correct in your reading of Jonah, I just don't think these are simple issues. |

When did Jonah compose his prayer in chapter 2? I strongly disagree with a black-and-white notion of truth and falsehood. It isn't useful, enlightening or edifying to think about the Bible's narrative history in these terms. A Bible story, or some detail of a story may be intended as a metaphor, exaggeration, allegory or literary invention without disaffirming the word of God or minimizing the importance of that text. IMO, a text that is informative, meaningful and religiously significant is more "true" than an exact transcription of past events. |
