Geez. Not this BS again.

The Church’s doctrinal stance: There was no death before the fall of Adam. The fall of Adam happened circa 4,000BCE. Adam and Eve are literal people, not symbolic. Adam & Eve were the very first parents on earth. The Church’s doctrinal position is utterly and demonstrably untenable. True. And t...
