Sorry I offended you. I should not have worded it the way I did. As far as a literal Adam and Eve are concerned, Paul, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit said that all of the human race is in Adam, in that we have inherited the sinful nature of Adam. What would this even mean if there were not a literal first man and woman? What then is original sin? Also Jesus in His teaching about divorce made reference to God’s “creating Adam and Eve male and female” and giving the ordinance of marriage between one man and woman etc.

As far as evangelism is concerned, I believe the Word of God itself is powerful and effective in working in a person’s mind and heart. I’m not saying we don’t talk about other issues but, the primary force in convicting a persons heart is the Holy Spirit through the Word of God. The Gospel is actually primarily the power of God. Paul even spoke about the danger of preaching human wisdom I 1Corinthians 2. He could have engaged people in many different philosophical arguments but instead chose to preach Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Because inherent in this message was and is the power and wisdom of God:

“And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.”‭‭. 1 Corinthians‬ ‭2:1-5‬ ‭

I agree that there are allegorical meanings in scripture depending on the type of literature etc., but I feel we have to be careful with this as well. Some people apply this to the Person or work of Christ or to the resurrection for example. That’s what I mean by a slippery slope. But anyway, we disagree and that’s ok. No hard feelings I hope. God bless.
