No undeniably christian teaching?
the book clearly contains christian teaching if it refers to satan as some kind of anti-G-d versus being an angel used to test humans. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.192.76.96 (talk) 11:54, 29 June 2011 (UTC)


 * interesting assessment: did you forget that the jews also believe that satan existed and caused mankinds demise? also islam has this teaching.
 * any how... since this book is dated in the first century.. it is hardly accurate due to the fact that it had been 4600 years since Adam and Eve lived at the time of writing and would have been pure speculation.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.233.21.82 (talk) 05:03, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

No undeniably Christian teaching II
It's as clear as mud what this means. The guy in the comment above misunderstood it. I obviously misunderstand it. Life of A&E blatantly is about the same people and fall that Genesis writes about. If the existing summary means something pickier like 'specifically Christian as opposed to Jewish', it should say so. If it's trying to imply there are or aren't incompatibilities between this text and Genesis, it should explicitly disambiguate instead of dabbling in uninformative (interruptingly bracket-toting) quasi-double-negative faux-concision. Readers shouldn't need to be mind readers to decrypt an executive summary. 92.30.46.246 (talk) 15:48, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Is this plagiarized?
The following excerpts seem to indicate that this article has at least in part been copied and pasted from other sources: "...a single source that has not survived,[2]:251" "...early 3rd to the 5th century,[2]:252" The reference numbers 251 and 252 (in superscript) have survived the copy/paste process.Tim Riches, Brampton, Ontario (talk) 23:50, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
 * The numbers 251 or 252 are simply the pages of ref #2. (It is an accepted way to refer to single page, see for example Help:References and page numbers). I wrote the lead of this article, and it is not plagiarized. A ntv (talk) 08:00, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
