    The tree of knowledge..............

    I beg your bardon, but I did. I pointed out the fact that there are more then one story in the history of the world that points to the fact that knowledge and technology had to be "stolen" from god and given to man. There is the account in the Bible and the Greek Prometheus/Pandora story I have...

    Who is the Holy Spirit and What was His purpose

    Thats the view of Paul my friend, here is Pauls opinion of women... 1 Corinthians 14:33-35 "...As in all the congragations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission,as the Law says. If they want to inquire about...

    The tree of knowledge..............

    Eating from the tree is a metaphor, think Prometheus bringing fire from Olympus to mankind. It seems a recuring theme in religon and mythology (some call it "folk memory") that intelligence/knowledge/technology had to taken away from someone and given to us. Staying with the Greek mythological...

    The tree of knowledge..............

    Ignorance enslaves, knowledge liberates. Look at Europe during the Dark Ages, how did monarachs and the Church that supported their ABSOLUTE RULE keep people bonded to the land and under control? By keeping them uneducated. Its the same thing here, we are prisoners of the demiurge here on earth...

    The Holy Spirit is the femine aspect of God, the "Divine Feminine" if you will.

    Because I don't see eating from the tree as the "fall of man" but rather the rise of man.

    The tree of knowledge..............

    Thats interesting, lets look a little closer at this... That verse implies that God created man and woman at the same time, but Gen 2: 15-22 implies that God created man, then all of the animals, then finally woman, so how can they both be correct? One more thing, the verse before the ones...

    The tree of knowledge..............

    You keep assuming that the being who created this world is the Supreme Being, but what if he's not? What if this world was made by an angry, jealous being who sought to create a place he could control and rule over. What if the serpent were the hero, the Logos of the True God, a God of love and...

    The tree of knowledge..............

    Actually Adam and Eve were not told to "be fruitfull and multiply" prior to the "Fall of Man" as described in Genesis. The verse after the creation of Eve reads (at least in the NIV) "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one...

    Proof Against Evolution

    Your analogy is way off Joe. Creationism is more like believing in the frog prince fairy tail, it requires you to believe on faith alone while evolution is based on observations and years of research.

    Why the request for gold by the bible god?

    Monotheism just replaces gods with angels, the stories and the messages they carry are all the same.

    Why the request for gold by the bible god?

    The God of Exodus exists all right, he is identified as Satan in the new testament and tempts Jesus with all he has created.

    The tree of knowledge..............

    Hmmm, sounds alot like Greek mythologies demi-gods if you ask me. It is interesting to note that Bible refers to these cross breeds between angel and man as "the heroes of old, men of renown."

    The tree of knowledge..............

    Except for the fact that fruit is the reproductive organs of a plant. Also it is not uncommon to hear offspring refered to as fruit, i.e. "fruit of my loins".

    jesus was a magician!

    It is interesting that there are very early depictions of Jesus performing many of his miracles with a wand.

    Face of Jesus

    If you go back and read my post, you would see I was talking about conclusions I drew based on my own observations, regardless of what they were "teaching" (I went to Catholic scool for several years). Even if all of the staues, crucifixes(?), and relics isn't meant to be idolatry dosn't mean...

    John Lennon's Imagine

    I don't think she meant litarally, just that Lennon's song is heavily slanted toward the communist ideology.
