Scooter, i wouldnt ignore The Revelation of Christ, but i would also understand it in that context, and seek to fit all of the rest of the Bible into that understanding. Which i admit does not seem very popular, esp among believers, whom i have spent most of my life around. And when that...

i gotta admit that that one is strange. It doesnt seem to have any direct witness, and infers that we have souls rather than being souls. If the Greek for breath is rendered as soul, then how can that be? idk “eternal” translated from aionos, a space of time, an age, rather than aidios, forever...

i dont disagree, but i think that happens in Gehenna, or iow right here on earth, when they are confronted, just like we experience

is there any way to insert images from my “photos?”

Also, i think things get clearer using the terms in the (original language) Bible, rather than a translation; why are we even discussing Hel, a Norse goddess? Bc Norse/Angle scribes xlated it that way, right?

well, that makes a lot of other Bible wrong tho? But fwiw i would have agreed with him for a long time…most of my life even. At a certain point it just becomes apparent that in order for me to get rewarded (for something i should have been doing anyway), others must be punished, yes? Or iow...

i gotta admit that that one i cant really make sense of; soul and breath are the same Greek word, so? https://biblehub.com/lexicon/matthew/10-28.htm iow how might you kill a body without killing the breath? or how might this be understood metaphorically, if it isnt meant literally?

hence why hermeneutics is a fail, imo Apparently the male/female urge in everyone was more of a thing then? Or maybe newer, so being explored or something? I just recently got onto the kundalini thing, after hearing the word for ten years or whatever. The comparison to Eve and the tree was...

hello, from Aspen. Welcome :)

true…but accepting that sacrifice puts one under the law, Under the law nearly every sin requires blood, as well as all the OT witness against one dying for the sins of another. Iow its perfect, since it addresses the prevalent belief in Cult of Sol, and tbh i rarely or never do what Scooter and...

im guessing the story was adapted from the earlier mythology, likely weaving kundalini (c 7000 bc or something) and other elements in. I guess we should prolly get a copy? I think i saw a DL of it for pretty cheap

i had a prob with that, and while im unfort not near the guide that i had, the solution maybe lies with the pov; iow in not assuming that there was a literal serpent tempting Eve, but rather a mental-conceptual thing going on, w/ the serpent playing the role of “human wisdom” and Eve being the...

wow, putting an internal link really jacked with my ipad, lol. it and xenforo constantly fight anyway. never heard of the Christ Myth Theory, at least as an organized theory, hmm; ill hafta look that up. it isnt too hard to cultivate the impression that the Bible authors had no probs taking...

a problem might be that no one really seems to bother trying to figure out what “eating the fruit” means, and how it applies to themselves. Or for that matter how Adam and Eve apply Well, its usually characterized as a search for immortality? would prolly be interesting, ive never read it or...

ive extended invitations to more than one rabbi, but none seem interested Id argue that they more naturally grasped mythology, but all of my evidence is anecdotal man, not much https://biblescan.com/search.php?q=Adam+OT plus i cant seem to get beyond the first 25 now, used to be a button for...

Are Adam and Eve any less “real” if they rep our male/female urges? What are “male/female urges” anyway? See, we might barely if at all even be able to associate with the concept now, but it used to be a big deal. I guess “masculine/feminine urge” is a better way to put it? Which has...

when history started being written by the winners, ya

hmm. Not in love with a “fictional” designation, tbh; mythology is how vital wisdom was translated to the next generation, until pretty recently? Of course “myth” means “lie” now, right So, once you learn what “Lazarus” reps—“Eleazar” in Greek—and find the mountain thrown into the sea (caesaria...
