"Then God said, "Let us make man in Our image"......

[GSonII]

lol waht are you trying to prove though?

that a man written book has flaws?

you the type to hear a fable and say "nah thats bullshit son, animals can't talk"???

theres messages to the bible, that for the most part are about being a better person towards the world around you (some of the edicts are outdated and show that it was written by man)

if you want a metaphor for the whole thing, its like you taking a college course, and without the lesson plan, being told to then tell everything you learned to one of your friends, and then he tells everything he learned from you to one of his friends.....now unless its math, alot of the shit is interpretation. the smallest bit of paraphrasing or editing in an attempt to put into leymans terms can change the message completely.

my point is, you are arguing semantics over the pronoun used, but are forgetting the point of the story.

people look to religion as a common easement to questions that would drive us crazy or into a severe fit of paranoia if we spent our days looking for answers

some peoples religion is science based others on faith

the thought of there being something beyond this life we live is important to people in concept not semantics lol

if you want it all spelled out for you specifically that means you don't subscribe to the mindset, move on, find a mindset that works for you.

but its a complete package. you wanna believe that dead loved ones go to heaven, accept the whole thing, u don't no big deal

this topic reminds me of this scene though

Fuck your opinion bitch go play in a thread were idiots are welcomed. You don't know my type of my mindset, you just proved you are a idiot and should be quarantined to portions of this forum were your type is welcomed

God dont exist.. grow the fuck up niggers

Why do you stupid crackas and freeloading latin bitches always come to people's posts and fuck them up? Once again all you ignorant fucks should be quarantined to threads were people obviously have nothing to add but it is a known fact that those areas are for that.

God dont exist, but niggers do?

 

[janklow]

So, let's clear up one unclear statement with another? Is that the game we are playing?

if you think there's something "unclear" about the concept of the majestic plural, i don't know what to tell you. keep grasping at straws, i guess?

Why would the most high talk like all the other high rulers considering he has always stated that he is the highest and no-one else should be mistaken or compared to him?

possibly because it's a book written by men and thus indicative of the way men talk and write?

lmao @ ya'll dumbasses having imaginary friends nh..

rofl you niggas need faith and hope by believing theres some white dude with a beard in the heavens watching us.. fuck outta here man grow the fuck up

Your whole application of the Most High of what you described as "a white dude with a beard in the heavens watching us" is anthropomorphic and all wrong ....

Who is to say our conception of God is limited to those particular physical traits? God is,is what you believe God to be.

Read whole statements not just portions and start typing. How does simply saying that is how they talked back then clear anything up concerning the "Let us make man in our image" statement. How does putting God in a category with all the other high authorities in one situation then putting him in categories by himself in others clear things up? Just saying the book is written by men is not clearing anything up because man could have chosen to never put him in the same category with other men and that would be more sensible. Man has a sense of how to do things also. Once again, there are know answers other than the bible and it's defenders are flawed when it comes to arguing it's true authenticity.

I agree. I am not a fan of the bible God but I could see so many ways in which a supreme being that we would refer to as God exists.

 

[janklow]

i think you might want to apply that "reading whole statements" concept to yourself. how does it apply? because the MEN who wrote the book back then are likely to have replicated the way they spoke in the book they wrote.

How does putting God in a category with all the other high authorities in one situation then putting him in categories by himself in others clear things up?

well, two things:

01. people should be at least acknowledging the simplest explanation as opposed to attempting to explain it with complicated reasoning;

02. the confusion you're describing doesn't really seem to be occuring.

Ive heard many people, whne referring to the "fallen angels" mate w earth women, say that these angels are "sons of gods". They all have said yes, more than one and say the bible was edited to refer to one god when this was said.

I think god even co-signs this when he says there's no other gods before him, he's the one true god, the others are "false" etc... Points to there being other gods and the Christian god was jealous so he tried to put them down, make them look bad etc...

So from a bible stand point there is other gods.

Excellent post....

the words "gods' and 'elohim" are linguistically and culturally incompatible. as always, i stress that one can never understand the bible until they learn hebrew and read the source texts.

 

[soul rattler]

bullshit, as in it does not align with your beliefs, or bullshit as in the bible does not
introduce the idea of the holy trinity?

"Bullshit" as in it's hilarious how people try to tie together completely unrelated sources in a laughable attempt at making sense out of something that's fucked up anyway. Saying that "Let Us make man in Our image" is referring to Jesus/Holy Trinity is like saying 2Pac was talking about 50 Cent when he said "If you take me out of the game, you won’t want to see the next one. Trust me. Take me out of the game, you won’t wanna see this next dude, ’cause he ain’t gonna have no compassion.”

All types of illogical conclusions being made in this thread

Your pretty much a weak minded idiot but I agree with you on this.

1. Exodus 3:13 "So Moses said to God, "Indeed, when I go to the children od Israel and say to them, The God of your fathers sent me to you,' and the ask me, 'What is His Name?' what shall I tell them?"

2. Exodus 3:14 "Them God said to Moses, "I AM the Existing One." He also said, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: 'The Existing One sent me to you."

3. John 8:57 "Then the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"

4. John 8:58 Yahshua (Jesus) said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM the Existing One."

soul rattler still has a point in the fact that Jesus was not mentioned specificly until the new testament.

if we were in ancient times right now and you read where it says Let US make men in OUR image u would have no idea that it could be talking of Jesus... That was a LATER belief wen the new testament came.

Moshe (Moses) waz not just talkin about Yahshua he waz signifying Yahweh The Father, Son and Holy Spirit,

and yes I (personally) would NOT have understood, because I'm a simple 3500 b.c. sinning man, these verses needed to be explained by the Righteous Prophets, Priests and Temple leaders of that time, one just cant hear/read the Bible and "think" one can understand it, so your right in that context, I wouldn't have understood it.
