Before they ate the fruit of the forbidden tree, Adam and Eve did not know right from wrong. Defying God, therefore, was not wrong....why punish them ?

There was a debate on Radio 4 this morning about whether women should be ordained as priests.
As an atheist I find it hard to see the rationale behind denying women the opportunity to become priests just because it says they can't in one part of the Bible.
Should the church be recognising that they can still keep the basic truth of Jesus' message whilst accepting more contemporary ideals? If not, will it harm the church to be so steeped in dogma that there doesn't appear to be any room to evolve?
I'm interested in both points of view.
Thanks!

Christians say, " If I dont believe and i'm wrong, I might go to hell

Atheists say, "I'm not worried about going to hell because I know i'm right. Besides, there is no hell"

Christians say, "we need God to help us"

Atheists say, "we can do it alone. All we need is oursselves"

WHICH GROUP SHOWS THEY HAVE MORE CONFIDENCE?
ATHEISTS OR CHRISTIANS

Or perhaps you might even know of some other group with an even scarier agenda..let us all know about it and tell us what it is if you can?

I just hear the word agenda and brings goose-pimples to the back of my neck I can tell you!

God is God. He can and does do as he wishes with his creation, his people. God chooses. So that makes you mad because you do not understand it. It doe snot make God unjust as the verses clearly say. Armianist need to get real on biblical reading and interpretation.

When we as, Christians are answering questions we would do well to remember that as Christians we are folowers of Jesus Christ.
The anger and foul language not only makes you look bad it makes Christianity look bad and reflects poorly on Jesus Christ.
We also need to remember what we were like before accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.
I must admit that as a Christian Pastor I have been appaled at some of the answers that are given by those claiming Christianity.
That's my opinion, what's yours?
