    Why does the Bible explain "you shall surely die" Genesis 2:17, "For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, And to dust you shall return.” Gen. 3:19 in the book of Genesis, why does the book of Genesis explain these details in the first place? Why does Genesis explain nothing about we...

    These scriptures agree with each-other. Some scriptures can be taken in two or three different ways, I have picked a perspective that agrees with the many other scriptures in the Bible. 1.In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken...

    I believe you are correct some things can not be explained with scriptures, but I feel the things that are important Jesus or the Apostles talk about them, or maybe another place in the Bible. I truly believe my fundamental Beliefs are explained in the Bible.
