    Understanding Tohu wa-Bohu of Bereshit, obviously Genesis 1:2 and modern nothingness.

    When you say actually as your opening statement it sounds as if you are disagreeing and correcting something I’ve stated. This post is not about atheism or science from a modern perspective. It’s about what genesis 1:2 meant for the Jewish nation.

    Understanding Tohu wa-Bohu of Bereshit, obviously Genesis 1:2 and modern nothingness.

    Tohu wa-Bohu , Primordial Elements and Creatio ex Nihilo | Semantic Scholar That’s a link to an article with 30+ relevant cited papers. Some good books that really exhausts this subject is “ The Lost World of Genesis 1 “by John Walton , “The Bible & Ancient Science: Principles of...

    King of Tyre or a Supernatural Creature of Darkness

    one thing to consider is that it’s almost strictly the KJV that says Lucifer. The actual word there is “helel” shinning one is a reference to Venus, the morning star. Morning star is repeatedly used for kings.

    Hello! Just joined. I don’t think I’ve been to this one before.

    While I agree that we don’t need churches or ministers to do our thinking for us I do believe it’s a great benefit to us to work through the writings of our scholars and to go beyond our echo chamber and see what the Catholics, Lutherans, coptics, Baptists, Methodists and the churches of Christ.

    Hello! Just joined. I don’t think I’ve been to this one before.

    i enjoy all types from B class, silent, horror comedy and so on and when it comes to monsters I enjoy werewolves, vampires and zombies. Though I did not particularly enjoy walking dead. I’ve not even come close to finishing it. But I am a big fan of resident evil which is zombie-ish. There is a...

    King of Tyre or a Supernatural Creature of Darkness

    I would say that it’s solely about the human king Tyre. After all, you won’t really find any Jewish scholars ( faith not lineage ) to promote The concept of Satan as a enemy. What I see is symbolism being used to link back to the general concept of rebellion in the creation tale. They are...

    Hello! Just joined. I don’t think I’ve been to this one before.

    I agree you did indeed express that. Now I’m done with the games of back and forth. When you study up, hit me up. Over and out battle buddy. Feel free to toss in the last word. I’ll most likely read it but I’m beyond responding.

    Hello! Just joined. I don’t think I’ve been to this one before.

    I see. No response ehh. Maybe it requires a bit more than a childlike understanding of ancient Jewish cultures being reflected in a several thousand year old text huh…. Goodbye and thanks for proving my points so perfectly.

    Any other horror fans in here?

    I don’t watch tv either. As in I don’t have satellite or cable. I watch a good bit of comedy as well. Comedy and horror are actually very similar in style and how they convey their story. Only the type of awkward situations the characters find themselves in are very different. Though when it...

    Hello! Just joined. I don’t think I’ve been to this one before.

    I see. That’s very interesting. Well thank you for being honest. It’s one thing to be ignorant but it’s quite another to be willfully arrogant to remain ignorant. To avoid wasting my time I think it’s best for me to stop entertaining you from this point on. Though I’m curious about thing that...

    Hello! Just joined. I don’t think I’ve been to this one before.

    so does that mean you’re unable to answer the questions I posed? Because I’ve countered this already. I do hope that you’re able to find passion to really dive into theology in the future. A overly simplistic reading unfortunately misses out on so much. I hope you’ll be able to see my future...

    I’m sorry I don’t see your response? Just a repost of mine within yours. Maybe you accidentally hit reply before typing your thoughts out?

    Hello! Just joined. I don’t think I’ve been to this one before.

    Now if you are interested in going beyond a plain reading interpretation of genesis 1 I would like to make a few suggestions. There are some resources out there that gets these texts and places them properly within their cultural setting. It’s scholarly biblical hermeneutics. It focuses on...

    Hello! Just joined. I don’t think I’ve been to this one before.

    So if I disagree with your interpretation of genesis 1 that means I’m calling Yahweh a liar? Isn’t it a bit crazy to make yourself equal to our god? What genre is genesis 1? When I read genesis 1-11 I see a narrative that most closely matches something that does not require a literal...

    Any other horror fans in here?

    I’ve not actually seen copycat. Or rather I believe I did many years ago. I have struggled with getting into cat and mouse and dog thrillers. It’s funny but I’ve noticed often many who like thrillers and true crime don’t like very fictional horrors and vice versa. Though I did like Se7en. I...

    Any other horror fans in here?

    It’s pretty crazy that many peoples initial reaction to someone’s pastimes by immediately stepping into trying to weaponize scripture. But it’s a growing trend among some movements. Not that all those in those movements do it but it seems to be more predominant within some. Especially when it’s...

    Any other horror fans in here?

    So what kind of genre do you like?

    Hello! Just joined. I don’t think I’ve been to this one before.

    You mean you’re able to tell if you agree with someone or not and those you disagree with you just say they are false…. I understand. Interesting but meh. I’m become quite accustomed to “ what do the experts know I’ve done my own research” in the last few years. Hope you don’t mind if I just...

    Hello! Just joined. I don’t think I’ve been to this one before.

    Here are some beneficial links that maybe some of y’all may be able to read and see if they have anything of value. Emotional Intelligence Counterarguments | University Writing & Speaking Center so as mentioned. Excluding staff, there are a few it seems I just need to go ahead and ignore. I...
