My starting point first learn the language . The language is not Hebrew, English or Latin. It's a much older language. The language of story tellers. Read between the lines. It is only when we understand what concept the author is convoying , then we can agree or disagree.
Yes, but it is necessary to know the language it was written in. Longevity is synonymous with prosperity. The days of old were more prosperous. Therefore the message of the writer is to return to the ways of the past.
First seek to end poverty within yourself then you will have an abundance to share. If you can do anything with your life, do what you preach. There is no more, that is the Gospel.
The story of Lilith as Adam's first wife could not possibly be included in the Book of Genesis or any other book in the Jewish or Christian Bible for the simple reason the story didn't exist until many centuries after the Bible was written. It's a no brainer, LOL
Since eternal life can only be found through Jesus, then them Jews, Muslims, Hindus and all the other religions are excluded from eternal life. Is that what you are saying?
