Betrayed by YHWH: The Shocking Lies Concealed in Genesis!
In the intricate tapestry of biblical narratives, one cannot help but observe the cunning maneuver executed by the divine character known as YHWH, who played the role of a heavenly trickster in the Garden of Eden. With eloquence befitting a master manipulator, YHWH, the supposed epitome of righteousness, spun a web of deceit around Adam and Eve, luring them into an illusory paradise. Withholding the enlightenment that would come through the forbidden fruit from the tree of Knowledge of good and evil, YHWH betrayed their innocence by threatening them with immediate death that same day. Like a skilled magician, YHWH diverted attention from the sinister truth, leaving our unsuspecting ancestors to bear the weight of his punishment. In this enigmatic saga, YHWH's deception stands as a poignant reminder that even the gods themselves can succumb to the allure of power and control, their actions ultimately shaping the destiny of humanity.

Then the child isn't even able to come into the world in the first place. People haven't considered to be thinking about the book of genesis origins narratives from this type of the human sexual procreation storyline. Men wrote then selectively chose certain books to correlate into the early books of every religion in the ancient superstitious world.

Some thoughts: * God deliberately created us without the ability to know right from wrong. Then punished us for doing something wrong. * We were allowed to eat from the tree of life prior to our becoming gods. We were banished to prevent us becoming immortal gods who would then have the time to grow to rival him. * God says in the psalms, 'I have told you, you are gods, although you will die as mortals'. * The Christian story is one of God repenting of his decision to deny us immortality and allowing us to become rival gods. * Christians insist their religion is monotheistic. A claim not made by God. He forbids the jews from worshipping other gods. Why bother if there aren't any?

The book of Enoch pretty much answers all of your objections. The little g gods that Most High Yahweh God is commenting on in the Psalms is the Watchers which were bound in chains for corrupting the worship of Yahweh throughout the existing nations God had placed them over at that time. The rebellion of the angels and creation of Nephilim, half human half god, and their souls being demons.

@OdelinSerrano-zu5fo 2 месяца назад

My friend, please research. It's obvious to me that you're as confused as I was. I highly recommend reading Genesis in its' original Ancient Hebrew. There you will find answers. I will correct you on one thing: Elohim is an umbrella term used to cover numerous beings, including angels, demons, disembodied humans, etc. Yahweh, the Creator, is also Elohim. However, there is ONLY ONE of Him. When He said "gods" He was referring to the Devine council whom He allowed to participate in some aspects of deciding things. I saw a video recently that cleared a lot of my confusion. The late Dr. Michael Heiser is known for scholarly contributions to understanding original scripture connotations. He has a PhD in ancient Semetic languages and Hebrew scriptures. I will opine that your current understanding of the Word is inaccurate, as mine was, until I watched Dr Heiser explain things using the original biblical language. Good luck, my friend. BTW, I think part of my confusion can be attributed to the narrative put out by some churches. For example, Jehovah Witnesses say the body and the soul is the same thing. But Christ clearly said, "do not be afraid of those who can kill the body but CANNOT kill the soul. Instead, be afraid of Him Who can kill BOTH the body and the soul...." There are some profound facts about his sentence,, especially the divergence of the body and soul. Take care, my good friend.

Because Yahweh is “the murderer from the beginning” , he is The Deceiver. The True Father is within You and not in religion or or a church or in Old Testament contradictions. Yahweh is the god of this material world, the lesser jealous evil creator that traps souls in the cycle of rebirth. Because he knew our potential he has gaslit us from the very start. He is the archetypal narcissist and he himself is The Adversary the adversary of You.

@Nafetitive Год назад

something I never understood about Genesis, which pretty much set me on my path to atheism starting at age 12, is why Yahweh would put the Tree of Knowledge within the Garden if Yahweh didn't want Adam and Eve to eat of its fruit. If the tree absolutely had to be within the Garden, couldn't Yahweh have put a tall fence around it, or maybe put it at the very top of an inaccessible mountain? Or maybe make the tree all thorny like a silk floss or a honey locust, with leaves like a poison oak, and the fruit all bitter and prickly? It's as though Yahweh _wanted_ Adam and Eve to mess with that special tree and to eat its no-no fruit. ... If Adam and Eve were created _without_ the knowledge of good and evil, surely that would include a lack of any sense of consequences. How could they comprehend that any action is bad if they have no idea what "bad" is?? You've just created the first humans; they've only been around for a very short amount of time; they have no knowledge whatsoever of good or evil, right or wrong; and yet you expect them to behave like knowledgeable and rational adults with decades of life experience?? You're basically telling a toddler not to eat the yummy-looking cookie that you carelessly leave on a small table, well within their reach, then you leave the toddler for an extended period of time all while expecting it to leave the cookie alone. Whose fault is it, really? And using the threat of death on Adam and Eve would've been utterly pointless since they would have had no idea what death was up to that point. Also, if Yahweh is Omniscient, then why was it shocked and angry to find out that A&E did what they did? Hell, why did Yahweh have to call out to them to find out where they were? How can Yahweh be angry at Adam and Eve if Yahweh KNEW well in advance that they would eat the no-no fruit? You created all the right conditions to have your creation disobey your order, then you get pissed off at them for following the script. Seems like a deity that was bored and decided to cook up an elaborate scheme to have something to be angry at. I can only imagine what a conversation between Adam and Eve would've been like after that encounter with Yahweh. Adam: "Wait, _what_ tree did Big Sky Man say was a no-no?" Eve: "I dunno, maybe the one with the scary-looking stuff on it?" Adam: "How will we know if the tree stuff is scary-looking?" Eve: {Shrugs} Adam: "...And then he said 'you will die,' or something, if we eat the scary-looking stuff from the spooky tree? What does _that_ mean??" Eve: "What? I could swear he said 'you will surely make a pie...' Whatever that is." Adam: {Repeats the word "die" several times} "No, I'm pretty sure he said 'you will die.'" Eve: "Well what the hell is that supposta mean?!" Adam: {Shrugs} "No clue. Maybe it's some kind of game, like 'Name That Thing'?"

Because the serpent getting into the garden and deceiving them into eating was the plan. YHWH wanted humans to cope with sin...that's why His Son was "slain from the foundation of the world". These three people, scholars in general, and Jews and Christians...none of them understand what's happening in the Bible.

It was def on RU-vid.. ⁠but I’ve also thought of it this way about the “Lord God” in genesis and how life came about since we know God created man and women in genesis 1. In genesis 2 it says “Lord God” and we know that the fallen angels were on earth during this time. What if that Lord God was actually Lucifer.. and Lucifer had sex with Mary and also Adam had sex with her which made the twins. But one is the blood line of Lucifer and the other ofAdam 😳😳😳😱😱

An earlier version has been found in Bronze Age Ugarit. Adam had been one of the gods led by El. Their enemy Horon in form of a snake poisoned the Tree of Life, the source of immortality, which began to spread the poison and needed to be destroyed. Adam was the god who tried first to accomplish that but got poisoned too, before El and the other gods could eventually overpower Horon and destroy the poisoned Tree. Adam was not punished for anything, but rewarded and compensated for his loss. They couldn't change anymore that Adam was mortal now and couldn't stay, but decided to create Eve for him so that they could procreate and live on in form of their descendants. Over 800 years later, the Bible made the story only worse and weirder after all.

I think that, to an extent, the story of the Fall of Adam and Eve represents the misgivings of the parent upon seeing their children grow up. Knowledge reserved for adults is kept from the children, the parent trying to make it look more scary than it is in order to prolong that precious time where the child really *is* a child rather than teen or adult offspring. A futile endeavour, one the parent *knows* is futile and ultimately counterproductive. The parent *wants* the child to achieve that hidden knowledge, but not just yet. And once the child has grown up, there's no way back: the child will have to make their own way in the world, and staying at home would only bring suffering. So the parent sends them on their way, issuing dire warnings about what is to be yet accepting the inevitable and staying close enough to heed a call. I think this may well be the metaphor behind the whole motif, its ultimate origin.

@kudzaimasvingise9163 Год назад

@noorzanayasmin7806 11 месяцев назад

From what I understand to get the knowledge of everything at once is a temptation. No one should get all the knowledge at once because their brain cannot comphrehend it, hence they will perish. So it is not so much the fear that the child will grow up as soon as they know the knowledge but more so knowing everything comes with great responsiblity which they were not ready for.

So if YHWH didn’t want Adam and Eve to have that knowledge of good and evil, why even put that tree there in the first place? If he wanted them to stay with their innocence, why put them in a scenario where it can be taken away? Did he need loyalty and their obedience to show off to the other gods that he could be obeyed? Also, as a former JW, I was made to believe that YWHW didn’t lie because they actually did die “in that very day”. At 2 Peter 3:8, i was told that a thousand years is one day to YHWH so since they didn’t live past a thousand years, they indeed died in “that day”. I was hanging onto every word in this video! This was so informative and interesting. Keep them coming!!

@SeekingTruth2023 Год назад

I studied a long time with the JWs, but never became a JW. I am so happy for you that you came out! ❤ I was a Christian for 35 years, 10 years being in another high control group very similar to the JWs, maybe even more extreme. I left 6 month ago. Isn't it interesting, how each of these groups have an internally consistent doctrine, which they indoctrinate you with? I never came across the explanation you mentioned. My "church" just said, they died "that day", but only spiritually! And evidence for that would be that, when they had to leave Eden, and Eve gave birth to her first son, she said, "I have gotten a man from the LORD." not realising that the LORD had already left them, and they were spiritually dead (not connected to God anymore, not connected to eternal life anymore) So they died spiritually and became physically old from that day on, the process of physically getting old and die. If there was a true tri-omni God, why would he allow so many different doctrines? (Not all can be true at the same time!) And then judge the people when they grew up, for being indoctrinated with a wrong doctrine? Even if God didn't lie in Genesis, isn't it deceiving humanity, when he allows false doctrines/religions to spread freely, and then judge human beings for that? I am so sad for everyone who seeks God with his whole heart, and is confused by the different doctrines, and is in constant fear of being wrong and going to "hell" for that. (Thank you for all the work, Derek, that you spread awareness of sooo many things! I do not agree to everything, (and I don't have to), but I am grateful for all your hard work.))

@PaulWallis Год назад

Thank you guys for this wonderful discussion. What a refreshing and erudite conversation. And so needed! I would just question the point of comparison between the Eden narrative and the Gilgamesh narrative. I don't think it is accurate to say that the Sumerian literature is a movement to the city and the Biblical literature a movement away. Enkidu (the primitive man) in Gilgamesh is taken to the city as part of an upgrade package. He is introduced to sophisticated foods, alcohol, women and city living. He is being civilized. This resonant story echoes in Kipling's Mowgli story and Edgar Rice Burrough's Tarazan story. I would suggest that Eden is a developed environment and it is there that the primitive human (Adam) is adapted, introduced to the female of the species, new foods and medicines are hinted at, and an upgrade in the human's intelligence debated over and then actualised. So the movement to the city in Gilgamesh is an upgrade story. I would suggest that the upgrade in Genesis occurs in a city. The "Garden" of Eden implies an discrete walled area with a hard border protecting the enclosed zone from the wider environment. The humans are then exiled from the city, and this is seen as negative and frightening, notwithstanding that it was Yahewh's doing. Consequently their descendants build their own cities. So I don't agree that there is a movement away from the city in the Bible and towards it in Sumerian story. Abraham is rightly fearful of the cities not because there is a negative connotation around city-building but because he is a smaller social unit. As such his tribal culture is powerless in the face of city culture. The city defines the law, not the visiting nomad. However by the time we get to Joshua the Israelites are proud of the cities they inherit and develop. As to the "bombing" of Babel once we read the Bible's Babel narrative alongside that of the Sumerian Enuma Elish it is impossible to see that "bombing" as a divine action. The Garden of Eden story is not a polemic against the source narrative. It is not an inversion of the source narrative. It is a summary form of the Enlil / Enki narrative of Sumerian fame.

Like in the movie Logan's Run, lifespan seems to be a tool used to keep control. In the original Blade Runner movie, the replicants were given extraordinary strengths and abilities, but were limited to a four year lifespan. There is something in our psyche that recognizes the "spiritual" part of our existence and wants to expand it.

The Serpent said "Ye shall not surely die." which I've always taken to mean that they would not die instantly but rather that they would then be subject to death - on the day of eating of the tree they would then be mortal, and thus they knew their vulnerability - their nakedness - and had the knowledge of good and evil - evil being death.

A British scholar, Gordon J. Wenham, noted in his Word Biblical Commentary, of Genesis 1-15 (published in 1995) the polemic nature of the Garden of Eden account. His observation being, that Genesis 1-11 is in response to, and in refutation of, Mesopotamian creation of man myths. These refutations consist of a series of _inversions_ by Genesis' author, as regards the Mesopotamian creation of man myths. So, according to Wenham, to properly understand Genesis 1-15, one has to study the pre-biblical Mesopotamian creation of man myths, in order to know what it is that Genesis' author is refuting.

Good to see people looking into the origins of religions. Sumerian is tho oldest written history still known to mankind. After their city civilization complexes declined Akkadian then Babylonian civilizations grew. Centuries later some of the regional tribes became tribes of Judah. They didn't have an old testament. Their scholars spent their time in Babylonian libraries studying ancient texts and over the centuries changing the names of heroes and major characters to their own ethnic names. Religion was created by humans to control others and pretend God gives them authority. Gnosticism was knowledge from the same ancient libraries with the original stories and history of the world. In order for a new religion to be built in Rome of course those old libraries had to be destroyed. The largest was the burning of the library in Alexandria Egypt where the Gnostic and many other mystery schools spent time with the ancient texts. The history has been covered up but it is actually still there if you search diligently

@@deuceonethousand For sure and luckily, almost supernaturally, we get surviving texts that really show us what we need to understand how much of this was copied by earlier sources. Though to be fair, what do we call the aspect that these newer religions "copied" things but really they improved them and updated them for our day. We get critical that they fall short of our modern thinking, but they were on the cutting edge of progressive morality back then. For example, I am working on the Zoroastrian texts now like the Zend Avesta, and there is so much like forgiveness of all your sins once you join that we might put on Christianity, but also so much weird stuff that we have to say that there was a reason they gave up these faiths for the newer religions. That they were more relatively better, more logical, less stuck in weird ritual, and more applicable and universal that what came before them. I sometimes joke that someone like Moses or Jesus would be like "wait you still do what we said? you mean nothing changed in thousands of years? how have you not adapted the higher conscious and better understanding of reality into something newer?" Like Moses overcame the weirdness and evils of the institutionalized Egyptian religion to make something new, then Jesus did that with the Jewish tradition he experienced in his day.

The concept of the highest creator god resting after it finishes creating things actually makes a lot of sense but they don’t actually go far enough; because once the Big Bang happens the mass and energy is no longer unified then the grand architect stops existing as an omnipotent entity but it does continue to be omnipresent through everything that has ever existed since everything’s mass and energy was once part of that singularity)

Josh and Kipp have CORRECTLY noted Genesis' Adam and Eve in a location called Eden, are probably recasts of En-Ki-Du and Shamhat in the Epic of Gilgamesh, in this video. _What is not so well known_ by many, is that En-Ki-Du and Shamhat encounter each other at a watering hole in a location called the EDIN (or EDINU). I quite accidentally stumbled across this revelation while perusing the internet back in 2003. I had read several different editions of the Epic of Gilgamesh by different authors, and was astounded to discover an edition mentioning EDIN/EDINU as where En-Ki-Du and Shamhat met each other. I had never encountered a Gilgamesh edition before, having this word. The edition? Professor Andrew George. 2003. _The Babylonian Gilgamesh Epic. Introduction, Critical Edition and Cuneiform texts._ 2 Volumes. Oxford University Press. London. (The Two volumes are available for $565.00 at Oxford Publishers) If others are aware of another, earlier edition, having the word EDIN/EDINU, I would like to know of such, with thanks for sharing. Apparently Genesis' author, via _assonance_ (words that are similar in sound but having different meanings in differing languages), heard EDIN, meaning "wilderness" in Sumerian, and most probably, via _assonance,_ equated it with Hebrew `EDEN, meaning "DELIGHT." I have Professor George's abridged paperback copy and nowhere does one find the word EDIN/EDINU in it (cf. Andrew George. _Epic of Gilgamesh._ Penguin Classics. 2000. Paperback edition). I e-mailed Professor George about this anomaly, and he graciously e-mailed me back, saying he had substituted the Sumerian word EDIN/EDINU with the word WILDERNESS in his paperback edition.

Could Shiva and her ilk be the so called fallen? Why would Samyazel and the rest of the third of angels betray their God and think they could defeat him? So many questions and at the core of them is the true nature of God or the supreme ruler of the angels. What is he exactly? Living or ethereal? Is he capable of losing such a battle? Are the fallen pure evil or liberators of mankind?

@questor5189 Год назад

@@mikeschmidt4800 All valid questions. I wonder many of the same myself. For decades I believed YHWH to be the one true Living God and viewed all others as counterfeits. Like you, my ongoing research indicates a common thread within every ancient culture or religion. Strikingly, the ones that share similar moral teachings and virtues could quite possibly be serving one and the same god or goddess, albeit under different names. Another thing that I have noticed is that, while revelation is progressive, each of the world's major religions was at it's purest at it's inception. Concerning the character of the God of Abraham, one must not overlook the character of a hard-hearted people desperately seeking a tribal god they can call all their own. Preconceived notions can interfere with accurate perceptions of the Divine.

In genesis a major theme is that God was pretty much scared to death that humans would achieve the same intelligence and immortality like him. Even in the new testament Jesus is always telling them that they can be just like god. I used to be confused by that. How can mortal humans be like a spiritual god? It doesn't compute if you look at it through a supernatural lense like that. But if you look at it from a technological lense. Then it makes sense. Of the ones calling themselves gods only have that power because of superior technology. Then that is achievable. All mortal humans would need to be gods themselves is the access and understanding of the same technomancy that the gods are using. A true universally supreme supernatural being would have no fear of being dethrowned. Its power doesn't come from technology that mortal beings have access to. But if gods power wasnt as supernatural as we are lead to believe. That opens the possibility for us to figure out how god is doing all this stuff and start doing it ourselves and become our own gods. For god to even fear that we will become just like him, hints at the reality that gods power isnt magic. Its not something only god can do because hes god. Otherwise god wouldn't worry about humans becoming too powerful. The source of gods power must be something tangable that we can learn to do for god to even have a reason to worry. People say that you can't just become a god. But apparently you can because it is directly stated in genesis. Humans gained the knowledge and the gods got scared that if we get the immortality too then we would be our own gods. So god like power must be achievable and it must come from technology rather than inate spiritual ability. If it were that then we would only have the spiritual abilities we were given and not be able to achieve more. So i dont think they were talking about spirits when they described gods. The fears and decisions god makes dont seem to come from a position of someone who knows all things and can do all things. What it seems to describe to me are beings who's ability seems to come from the technical know how they have, and they are worried that if humans had longer lives, eventually they would figure out the same things they know how to do. Look at how much people like Einstein and Tesla accomplished in one human lifetime. Now imagine if they had a 5000 year lifespan to continue improving and building on their work. Yeah we would have god tech by now. Just look at what humans can do now compaired to the bronze age. The things we can do now would have been attributed to the same things gods do back in the bronze age. Now let's ask how we achieved all these things. Was it through spiritual means like prayer and meditation? No. People have been doing that for thousands of years and never got an inch closer to god's powers. But just in the past 200 years, when we began taking a technological approach. Well that moved us much closer to god's abilities and the effect is snowballing. Through technology we have already achieved many of the things that in ancient times were exclusive to the gods. The spiritual approach only kept us in the same spot. But the technology approach has pushed our ability closer to god's. Therefore god is not supernatural, god is technological. The evidence is overwhelming. God directly stated that we can become like him. Spiritual things never got us closer to that ability but technology has. So god must be using an advanced technology that we too can eventually develop and also use. Even if you do take the spiritual approach, it still himts that we also have the same ability, but can't develop it because we don't live long enough. But even then you cant rule out the possibility that god is using some sort of technology to enhance natural ability. May be god has an x-com psi-amp. We don't know.

I have noticed a number of comments in this video about Eden's Serpent. The Eden account explains WHY mankind does NOT possess immortality. The Mesopotamians also sought an answer as to why mankind does not possess immortality. The Mesopotamian account is called Adapa and the Southwind (as correctly noted in this video by Josh and Kipp). Is there a Serpent in the Adapa account? Yes! This serpent-god is called in the Sumerian version Nin-Gish-Zida, in the Akkadian version Gish-Zida. In Sumerian legends Nin-Gish-Zida is god who can take on different forms, as a human being with two human legs and feet, with a beard, with two dragon heads erupting from his two shoulders, and also as a four-legged dragon with two horns, two wings, four feet, and serpentine tail, with a scaley body. He is considered to be a vegetation diety, he at times dwells in the underworld and at other times in heaven as a gate guard to Anu's heavenly abode. Nin-Gish-Zida, on behalf of Anu, offers Adapa bread of life, conferring immortality, which Adapa refuses to consume, for his god, E-A of Eridu said don't eat the bread of death you will surely die! So, by obeying his god's warning, Adapa refuses to consume the Bread conferring immortality and loses out on a chance to obtain immortality for himself and for mankind. Adapa did not realize E-A had LIED to him, not wanting mankind to be immortal. Why the lie by E-A? Man had been created to provide daily food in temples in the form of produce from the god's city-gardens in the Edin, so that the gods would not starve to death. If man became a god (an immortal) who would then care for the gods' gardens in the Edin? The gods would have to return to the earth to bear back-breaking toil in making and clearing irrigation ditches to water the gardens of Edin, A task the gods abhorred, hence why they had created man to do the dirty work, and relieve the gods of physical toil for their daily food. So, Mesopotamian myths have a serpent deity, able to take on a human form, being able to talk to man (Adapa), a serpent-deity, who, on occasion, looses his human legs, and takes on instead, four dragon's feet (A two-legged Satan in the book of Revelation is called that old serpent in Eden) and Satan can also assume human form like Nin-Gish-Zida. Eridu's serpent, Nin-Gish-Zida, contra E-A's warning to Adapa at Eridu, "not to eat or you will die," mirrors God's warning to Adam, "don't eat, the bread of death, you will die" is denied by Eden's Serpent, "You will not die."

@tyrannosaurusrector7947 Год назад

These stories reminds me of some thing a professor of mine said. He talked about when he called Mosaic theology, which had to do with Israel as a loose confederation of tribes wandering in the wilderness, and Davidic theology, which was focused on the king, the capital, city, and the temple. He said the first represented a more harmonious existence among humans, and between humans and God. There is no king, and God’s presence is represented by the tabernacle, a portable building that moves from place to place with the people. However, the people want a king so they can be like the other nations (i.e., the nations that take their queue from the Gilgamesh epic. Died grudgingly gives them a king and their second king. David decides he wants a capital city and a palace, because that's what the other nations have. David wants God to have a big temple/Palace too, but God refuses. However, David’s son Solomon builds the temple. Now, God is associated with the monarchy, and to access God, the ordinary people have to come into the city where the elites live. I'd be curious what your guests would say about whether what I'm talking about is a part of the same movement as what they're talking about in Genesis.

I wonder if this "leave urban life" has anything to do with the Exile ending and returning to Judah. The returning exiles saw urban life in Babylon as evil (not to mention Greek metropolitan life in Judah and Israel) and molded the mythology to reflect that. Judahites were the more pastural of the two kingdoms, and they held the lion's share of the edits and modifications for the Pentateuch.

@skepticusmaximus184 Год назад

The mythology is interesting in its own right, but I find myself keeping one eye open for the psychological pay-offs if you will, in the emerging myths and the evolutionary adaptation of one myth from others to become more pervasive and persuasive. What I took from this wonderful discussion was an interesting speculation about the motives of the biblical authors, for doing an about face on knowledge as a bad thing and tying ideas beliefs to morality vis the imperatives. Obedience to god (or those who profess to speak on his behalf) becomes a moral imperative vested by the fruit in knowledge, but that knowledge is specifically, of good and evil. Putting aside the problem of obedience being demanded and disobedience predicated as bad/evil before they could comprehend why they must obay... (ignorance was never an excuse). I'm rather perplexed at the aetiological outcome of nakedness as the artefact of the knowledge of good and bad. They knew they were naked? Srsly? Didn't they already know that? I mean, its about as much a revelation as realising you have 10 fingers. So what? What the author is implying is more to the point that they relized it was BAD/WRONG to be naked. This is where the psychology and motive aspect comes in to my hypothesis. Since we are social creatures concerned with gaining each others acceptance, we have a strong emotional investment of approval. How we dress factors into this, but never so much as how when and why we undress. The social mores around this are strongly linked with sex and vulnerability. Getting naked often evokes a sense of anticipation and vulnerability for approval or rejection. I think knowledge of nakedness in the garden is associated with good and evil as a trope that borows from our existing anxiety about or attractiveness or aproval for showing our bodies, and using that as a psychological trigger for good/bad or right/wrong. The evolution of mythology as more pervasive religion favors the aetiological narrative that uses our psychological predilections against us and makes us beholden to a moral imperative. Don't be naughty, don't be disobedient and don't eat that fruit, or you'll become self concious about showing your body. We were already self conscious about nakedness for natural psychological and sociological reasons, so atribuing knowledge of nakedness to knowledge of good and bad, was a very effective move for the evolution of a more pernicious religion. Just my speculation though. Any thoughts?

I just started watching. Just a thought: so when Adam was given the breath he "became" a living soul. So when this breath is taken away, and he is mere flesh, wouldnt his soul die and he is spiritually dead, no? This was, what I learned in the 35 years being a Christian.....

@youngknowledgeseeker Год назад

In my opinion, and I could be wrong, the difference between a living soul and a dead one, per scripture, is consciousness. We were dirt/dust, dirt and dust don't think or feel, with God it is possible, however if we lose that animating energizing "breathe" of God, we are just dirt/dust again. The countless years that passed before you were born and you "remember" nothing of it. I think we return to that nothingness in death...and I think the Bible as a whole suggests this. Jesus said of the dead he would encounter, "they are sleeping". PS - In fact, in the Bible, both humans and animals are referred to *as* souls as opposed to *having* souls. (Over the course of time you can see the word "nephesh" aka soul, eventually develop multiple meanings as you read further along the Bible, but originally and most anciently you *were* a soul not *having* a soul). When men and animals were dead they were dead souls, when alive they were "alive" or "living" souls.

@kos-mos1127 Год назад

Adam and Eve are legendary figures rather then historical people. Looking at what their names mean will inform one of that. Adam’s name translates to red earth Eve’s name translates to be. Adam is a personification of the Earth or Ground while Eve personifies the force of existence.

@SeekingTruth2023 Год назад

@kos-mos1127 Yes, I agree with you on this. I am atheist now, but still fascinated by the bible. Actually, if they were not the first physical human beings (connected to God), there is also the problem, that Adam could not have committed the first (oringinal) sin, due to which we all are said to be sinful, deserve death and and die. So the while concept of that would fall to pieces. So all the sacrifices, including even a human sacrifice (Jesus) would have been unnecessary. This is a whole other topic though.

@SeekingTruth2023 Год назад

@youngknowledgeseeker thank you for your reply. Yes, this is practically what I had learned all these years. Though, as a Christian, I didn't hear about the soul existing before the body exists. What is the soul anyway? As far as my knowledge of the brain is, consciousness requires a physical brain. And if you mean, this consciousness might be the soul, I tend to agree. On the other hand, when the physical brain stops, the consciousness stops. So I am not sure about the soul before or after physical existence. But this is a complicated topic. When you write, we might return to nothingness, I think this is what I think as well.

@SeekingTruth2023 Год назад

@boriscuduco I see your point. But Genesis 2,7 speaks of the breath of life, blown into his nostrils of Adam and he became a living soul. So this seems "spiritual" in a way.... I don't think Adam was a historical figure, so the interpretation would be difficult anyway.

Perhaps what we would classify as Aethereal entities would be more akin to the Sphinx.

These are important discussions, but I wish there were more here than speculation. Yes, the Sumerian stories and Genesis account are obviously based upon the same events. That's not problematic. The precise meaning of the statement "Ye shall not eat of it...lest ye die" is possibly a concern and I'll have to check into your take on the verb grammar. As for Satan's mendacity, he wouldn't be the only one who lead someone astray with a deceptive answer. Hence the "more subtle than" slight. Dr. Kipp's "big city" polemic makes a lot of sense IMHO. That's a universal theme. Interesting stuff.

You know what’s so great about this is that people in the ancient world are able to live with the idea that their god might not be morally perfect or the only one in existence and were able still to maintain a bilateral sense of faith in such a god. And yet today there are people who get uppity the moment someone calls those ideas into question as though their faith were so ephemeral or fragile they couldn’t believe if not everything is perfect according to their opinions. It’s one of the rare things I genuinely think the humankind has devolved in.

I always had a hard time reconciling that, but then as you get older you find out that a dog's years is different than ours and we live longer than them. This is similar to the gods day being so much longer than ours and was probably why humans thought these people were gods and worshipped them.

The Serpent is Ea. In the Sumerian version of the Garden, Ea has crafted the male and female human as servants for his brother Enlil. But Ea plays a trick on Enlil. He has made the pair fertile and Enlil didn't want them self replicating. He was very annoyed when he found out. In fact the noise the humans where making during copulation is why he wanted to drown everyone. Apparently these first humans were screamers. I don't think Ea lied to Adapa. I think he thought that his half brother, Enlil, would poison his favorite human in retaliation for the trick he played on his brother in the Garden.

@cyberscapes Год назад

If the knowledge of good and evil is one of the things that separates the gods from the animals, then the serpent seems to be more than an animal. It doesn't seem impossible that the serpent could be the Jewish Satan (not to be confused with the Christian Satan!). As a heavenly servent of Yahweh, Satan knows good and evil, and Jahweh did assign Satan the specific task of testing humans' characters. As for the serpent's pre-Hebrew origins, on the other hand, it would make sense for the serpent to be Ea.
