All the same. Kabbalah's Adam Kadmon. The son of man. Adam. The story of each has the same message...God is within in you and selfishness(sin) seperates you from Him. Universal Love(God)is what you must find within to free you from the chains of (selfishness) sin. The Kingdom of heaven is at hand. It is likened unto a mustard seed, which though it is small, if you plant it, it will grow into the largest tree and all the birds will make a nest in it. Spread the seed of love!
Someone gets this thread!
But how can we be separated from God? God is everywhere. There is no spot where God is not.
"There is no sin but error, no punishment but consequence." -- Dr. Ernest Holmes.
" Spread the seed of love!"
Naaa. I'd rather hate and kill those who I can't force my beliefs upon.

Some mythology
is much more complicated
and anti-Christian --
The Parthenon Code: Mankind's History in Marble
Publisher's summary: "The events of Eden were part of the Greeks' collective cultural memory, and their special interpretation of those events made up the very basis of their religious system. Greek myth/art is human history. The Book of Genesis is human history. While the viewpoints of each are opposite, the recounted events match each other in convincing detail."
