Thank you for checking out my video. This is the beginning of a new series on biblical scholarship. My aim is to make interesting and enlightening videos on biblical literature, which may have a touch of controversy but are wholly non-exclusionary. They can be enjoyed whether you are religious, come from a religious background, or are as non-religious as they come. We will dive not just into philosophy and theology, but also history, mythology, linguistics, archaeology, and more. I hope you’ll join me on this exciting journey.

It was actually how re-created the world so that human can live. There is a honkong pastor actually described fully.

The chaos in my opinion was Satan's rebellion. It's a deep study but I absolutely believe there was a flood before Noah's flood.

Interesting thought!

I agree it's a cycle there was a "before" the "in the beginning", but YWHW is Satan and not the Creators of humans

@@ReneeB-mz9cx Are you sympathetic to some Gnostic beliefs?

@ReneeB-mz9cx Месяц назад

@@untanglephilosophy not sure, I came here to learn. I might coincide with some gnostic beliefs but I personally don't think the whole "loosh" and "archons" make sense wholistically.

I am curious about genesis when God created male and female, saw it was good then sent them off to multiply. Yet in the garden of Eden there was only 1 man.

@untanglephilosophy 3 месяца назад

Absolutely. I'd like to explore this in another video. Genesis 1 and 2 appear to be two originally separate units of text. Genesis 1 suggests that man and woman were made together as the final creation. Genesis 2 has man being created first, then animals (which he names), and then finally the woman. There are other interesting differences between the texts as well. The fact that the compilers of the Bible put these two texts next to each other may suggest they were unconcerned about any potential contradictions in the Bible and wanted to present different traditions from Israelite history.

Or it is possible these are two different events that happened. @@untanglephilosophy

Also notice the different time of creation of the plants

@ReneeB-mz9cx Месяц назад

Man wasn't created first. It was "them" male AND female in 1 body

@@ReneeB-mz9cx Interesting the alchemical true form, Rebis, is more powerful than angels. The Rebis is the ideal divine state, the Philosopher's Stone, the combination of opposites.
