Hi Folks..
Ingledsva;
Yes it does say Adam was fashioned in that "image" - but your most base mistake here is to assume that "elohim" means hermaphrodite, for simply, it does not and never did - not even close..Elohim - is a PLURAL noun - like for instance - mankind - Englishmen - it denotes a SPECIES and a RACE of Beings..Elohim are a SPECIES and a RACE OF "gods"...NOT one god - MANY gods ...
Like if I say here - Iam Pete and I am a Human Being - that is exaclty the same as this "god" saying "Iam Yahweh and Iam Elohim" - and it is also the exact same context when a lesser Angel likewise declares "Iam Gabriel from the Elohim" for example - the word is a NOUN for a SPECIES of CREATURE..An ACTUAL race of beings - like calling someone an Englishman - or an American or whatever - understand - PLURAL NOUN - because we ARE dealing with MANY GODS and their leader we call Yahweh !!
Trace it all way back to the start Folks - Elohim ARE the same group as described much earlier by the Sumerians - only they call them Anunaki..The Elohim of the Jewish heritage ARE the much earlier Anunaki of Sumer.....MANY MANY "gods" - an entirely seperate SPECIES of intelligent HUMANOID CREATURES that once lived among us DIRECTLY and ruled and governed here for millenia.....
(yes Folks they ARE creatures - exactly the same as You and I - these Elohim are NOT the source of Creation itself - NOT gods - Adam is fashioned by GENETIC manipulation as we would now term it)
I DO always go as direct to source as possible - and again you are plainly wrong - no mention of a "half" anywhere in ANY translation I can find...

Its very very clear - they took a RIB - a specific bone - it even says they took ONE of his ribs, meaning of course whatever it was, Adam had MANY - this simply cannot apply to your statement above,can it..?..No mention of a "half" anywhere - but mentioned two times SPECIFICALLY is the word rib - with context to tell us that whatever body part it actually was, Adam had MANY and they took only ONE - later context agrees still as Adam declares the woman is BONE of my bone flesh of my flesh etc etc..read it properly without the preconceptions...
It doesnt really matter how many times you repeat the same statement - it is still an error - obviously - as their own SANCTIONED VERSION - clearly carries the word RIB and has no mention at all of ANY such two faced hermaphrodite....Seems then you quote OPINION perhaps - but that opinion was NEVER accepted as "official scripture" was it..?..And as that first Jewish official scripture, will then go on to be twisted again into the new "christian scripture" with Genesis, then obviously we here are working from the original Jewish ACCEPTED scripture - hence the bible we have says rib and MEANS rib specifically as that IS what the original Jewish scripture also says...Obvious really..
But as said - hinted at - all this "genesis" - is the JEWISH truth - and its only a retelling of a MUCH MUCH earlier and FAR MORE DETAILED ACCOUNT that is found in the Sumer records...And again, there too - original source - the narrative says clearly created as BOTH male and female - no mention of any two faced hermaphrodites here either - though there is actually THREE attempts made before man is finally finished....For sure - these Elohim in the bible - ARE the same as the Sumerians call Annunaki - no doubt whatsoever - same names same places same narratives - only THOUSANDS of years before any Jewish nation at all...
Elohiim ARE Anunaki and they ARE a race of CREATURES - a SPECIES of flesh and blood living entities exactly like You and I...NOT GODS AT ALL...Not in the true sense at least...NONE of this bible truth - is CHRISTS truth - for He will come among us and explain it all - this whole entire universe is seperated and isolated from another and much greater realm of creation - the ones here we call "gods" are not gods at all - not the SOURCE of creation at all - just using the process and claiming a superiority they have no rights to claim....Only HE knew the truth for He said no mortal nor even gods or Angels HERE had ever encountered that other greater realm at all - only HE came direct from there , the realm of the TRUE Divine and SOURCE of creation itself....
Indeed - before Christ - the world had NO DIVINE TRUTH AT ALL - all we had - was manipulation at the hands of these others who created us directly - lies they told to keep us dominated and subserviant TO them so they could rule over us unchallenged..
Somebody's mad already.
We know that God is Creator, yes? The One who brings forth life. Woman is the only species who can bring forth life, therefore woman is God. Men cannot bring forth life, so God cannot be male.
Somebody's really mad now.
And it's probably a dude.
Well, historically, it was angry men who flipped the whole creation story and made God male, hence the answer to the popular question, "Did God create man or did man create God?" is "BOTH" because the men who changed history into mystery wanted control. They wanted to control women, children what they were taught, grew to believe and pass on to generations until the people of today think these false teachings are fact.
Bi just means you are attracted to both sexes equally.
Elohiym being a "species" and related to the Anunaki, is your OPINION. Also, ALL of these groups have religious and philosophical transference.
Hi Folks..
Ingledsva; First, please dont give me orders,commands or dictate how I can post on this thread - Thanks..but I will reply to you as I reply to everyone else here..
Ok - so whilst you are correct on the use of the word we translate as "rib"
- still - that does not support your position
that Adam was hermaphrodite - I still cant even see why you would think that..You are actually totally ignoring the logic of your own statements - they just dont make any sense at all..
So, lets follow your example - Adam is put into a deep sleep, SOMETHING is taken from his SIDE and the flesh is closed up there - and this removed body part will then go on to form the material for the womans body...So - they removed some "bits" - but OBVIOUSLY NOTHING CRUCIAL or Adam would have died - so DEFINATELY NOT A WHOLE SIDE of HIS BODY....lol...absolutely RIDICULOUS !! And look - it tells us clearly as I said - whatever this body part was, Adam had PLENTY of them and could spare one no worries at all..
-Next logic you are ignoring - comes even before the operation to create woman...Remeber here - its all about REPRODUCTION - animals created MAN created - but not Eve yet...God commands all - GO FORTH AND MULTIPLY....Let it sink in.....
Adam - IS ALREADY CAPABLE OF REPRODUCTION the god commanded him to do it along with all other lifeforms - only problem Adam has NO MATE !! Again - no mention of any hermaphrodite status at all - Adam exists at first as a purely MALE creature...The god wants all his creatures to REPRODUCE...It brings the animals to ADAM and tells him SEE OF ANY ARE COMPATABLE....When none are found, then and only then is woman created...Get it yet..??..
Adam was fully capable of reproduction already - obviously or how can the god command him to reproduce..???...THINK ABOUT IT !! There is nothing mentioned to make us think Adam is hermaphrodite or asexual or anything other than a MALE human..Yet he had no female counterpart...And YES Folks - the "god" did indeed offer him ffirst ANIMALS to be his sexual reproductive mate...Read it PROPERLY without any religious bias or preconceptions...Adam - a purely male human animal - is commanded first to reproduce with OTHER NONE HUMAN animal forms..Only when the dumb god finally realises this aint happening at all then and only then is a female human created...
Just as I keep telling you (all) - these gods in the religions are NOT gods at all - not the SOURCE of the creation process itself - and here for instance - barely seem to even know what they are doing..lol...clearly this god thinks man and animal are compatable to sexually reproduce - even though it claims to have designed and directly created all life forms herel - still it doesnt even know which species even mates with which it seems......lol..not a god at all - a "scientist" doing experiments on PRE EXISTANT LIFE FORMS !!
Oh no NO NO - not "opinion" at all - absolutely beyond any academic dispute whatsoever...HARD EVIDENCE that cannot be altered or tampered with at all - CLAY TABLETS - dating back thousands of years BEFORE any Jewish nation at all...And yet, they contain the ENTIRE JEWISH LORE - same stories same characters same events same names and places even......There is no doubt whatsoever - the "gods" of ancient Sumer ARE the same gods of the bible narratives and the whole narrative is very easily traced - they kept meticulous records of their "gods and kings" as to THEM these are LIVING FLESH AND BLOOD BEINGS - CREATURES - just like You and I....THOUSANDS of these UNALTERABLE clay tablets still exist and they give us so much detail that it becomes obviosu and clear where the Jewish story began...Only a complete fool could deny it given all we now know..I remind you - NOBODY altered those clay tablet ORIGINAL truths - but all that written paper truth you rely on, can be altered and changed as we see fit, cant it..?...ORIGINAL TRUTH - what cant even speak cant even tell any lies - as my dear old mum would say - HARD EVIDENCE proves beyond any dispute - Elohim ARE Anunaki of Sumerian fame..
Christ and the bible..??........Hmmm - I doubt you have a clue really - but I will tell you - assure you - prove to you if I must - that the god of the bible Jewish heritage and all those that came before - absolutely NOTHING to do with Christ and Our Father that HE ALONE taught us about...
He makes it very very clear - said specifically - AN ENTIRELY SEPERATE REALM EXISTS He said - that NO SOUL HERE had EVER encountered before.....Not even this "god" Yahweh or its Angels He said know MY Father...he explained it all of course - inthe ORIGINAL gosples written DIRECTLY by the disciples themselves -
but you will find now that the religon have PURPOSEFULLY DECEIVED you - just as He warned they would do - and have twisted His truth now to suit their own agenda of dominating you (all)...
He DID say clearly - that the Jewish god is not a god at all - but only an Angel He termed it - a CREATURE as I say, exactly like You and I..
He then proved His own legitimate Divine authority by doing MIRACLES of course thus proving His claim and status - miracles that NO PRIEST OF YAHWEH COULD PERFORM - and He told them straight, you all cannot do the things that I Christ do, because your god is a fraud, a trickster - lesser god claiming authority it has no rights to.......Very obvious really - He was clearly their ENEMY - AGAINST them - a THREAT to them - so as we know - they MURDERED HIM to silence His truth and keep their own power and status secure..NOT MY FATHER He said - you god is an angel not a god at all and here I prove it with these miracles that none of you can even match as your god is fraud deceiving you all..I paraphrase here of course, but that is pretty much the way it went down..
Wrong god - Christ comes He said from an entirely unknown, seperate and PURPOSEFULLY ISOLATED realm that no Soul here had EVER encountered before...I can show you it clearly if you like - SCRIPTURE - but not that twisted bible half truth - but the ORIGINAL truth recorded by those who ACTUALLY walked and talked with my mate directly...
Why do you think his symbol is a cross? A symbol of the SUN = Sun God. YHVH is a Sun God.
On what basis do you say that Yahweh is a sun god?
No one has proof.You have any tangible proof of this...?
