You’re taking what I said out of context. I don’t appreciate it.
I provided the context by using the direct quote. That’s the very definition of context. You even used the same quote while insisting you didn’t say what you did. 
What you ‘appreciate’ or don’t isn’t parcel to the conversation.
Aren’t you the same guy that posted a list of debate terminology? 10 Common Logical Fallacies.
Let me rephrase. I don’t like how you’re taking what I said out of context. Amos 4:4 records God saying, “Go into Bethel and sin all you want.” He wasn’t condoning sin; He was saying that that’s what they were already doing. You have to read what came before that to realize it. That’s my definition of context. Historyprof was the OP of that picture. I just copied & pasted it.
Your definition of ‘context’ is wrong. Click the link: Context Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster. I’m serious: click it. And read what I wrote; don’t just scan, skim, or glance at it. Read it.
Read Genesis 1 & 2. It doesn’t get any plainer than that.
There is only one (historical) creation account in Genesis. Chapter 2 goes into more detail with how God made man. That’s the only one there is to defend. Belief in evolution actually removes man’s need for God, which removes the necessity of Jesus dying on the cross, which removes our accountability to Him. It also makes us worthless and takes away our free-will. If you want me to explain that in-depth, just ask me. I’ll be happy to.
There are two accounts. Separate inoroginal language, squeezed to look like one continuous story by early translators.
It’s not a continuous story; it’s a further explanation of part of the first chapter.
This is one of the first things you learn in a college level Old Testament class. Understanding how Hebrew grammar and style work is important to understanding scripture. But not you, huh? YOU without even a high school diploma know better. I guess God told you directly but didn’t bother to inform anyone else.
I am done attempting to discuss this with you.

No He didn’t. I just read the first two chapters of His book. It’s called ‘The Bible.’ It’s available to anyone who would read it (I’m not saying you don’t). I know enough about Hebrew grammar and style to know when it’s poetic and when it’s historical.
I agree with you. But having the Holy Spirit is even more important. I’m not saying that I’m the only one with Him; that be the most blasphemous thing I could ever say.
No, I don’t. I just read the book.
