how many parts is this series going to have?
I covered 4 chapters so far. Only 925 left. That's 231.25. Only half of what I have typed so far on ATS.

you can try to pick the bible apart as many times as you want and all your left with is more questions. maybe its not to be taking literally or its all just BS. none of it makes sense. the bible is just spin off stories from far more ancient texts.

There is no proof that Yahweh created the serpent in Genesis. Many people believe only one god created all life on the planet, but no statement in the bible says that all living organisms came from Yahweh. There are obvious holes in the creation story. For example, on what day did Yahweh create the starfish, the mosquito, or the bat?

Elohim created the image. Yahweh created the material version of the image (archetypes of perfection).
Who created the snake?
Genesis 3
3 The snake was more clever than all the wild animals Yahweh Elohim had made.
Who does it say made the snake?

In this thread: SuperiorEd / EnochWasRight / AlephBet finally gets too religiously fringe-y for even the religious ATS crowd to accept. Ed, you're letting the tail wag the dog with your semantic arguments. You shouldn't be letting semantics define your reality. You should be letting reality define your semantics.

Singular Elohim and Yahweh are the same GOD, The one and only GOD!!

You are correct in this. Each time you approach a higher axiom of truth, the lower axiom starts to break into pieces. You are left with contradiction and paradox until you once again rest on a yet higher axiom. This is my main goal in all of this. Each time I find something new, it leads me higher still on the path to truth. As for the other texts, they are invaluable for seeing the higher truth. Much of what I previously believed has shifted as new truths are found. The most amazing part is this: the invariant truth is always preserved. It's always the same, no matter how many ways you move it about to see new perspectives. It's the symmetrical part I am looking for.
There's a good example of this with Pythagoras. When he was looking for a universal standard in music pitch and intervals (mathematics of harmonic mediation), he noticed that one vibrating string was an indefinite continuum of tonal flux, infinitely divided upon itself. He used a device called a monochord. It was one string that could be tuned and played with mathematically. He realized that there were nodal points making a harmonic overtone series. By studying the series (like plucking a guitar string holding a finger over a nodal point), he noticed these overtones were in a ratio and series. He then used arithmetic mediation to reduce the nodal points to a series of tones and semitones we use today in western music.
He first found that the mean of 9 and 6 were in a ratio of 2:3, or the perfect fifth. From here he used harmonic mediation to find that the ratio of 6:8 and 3:4 were the perfect fourth. From two simple operations, he deduced that 6:8::9:12 reveals the fourth 6:8, the tone 8:9, the fourth 9:12, the fifth 8:12, and the octave 6:12. All of this is based on how laws affect substance mathematically. There are certain invariant archetypes in nature that can be discovered by investigation.
I suppose you could call all of this work by Pythagoras just BS, but then again, you likely love music based on his work. It's all in how you view the work and whether you choose to participate in it. Seeking truth is a common pursuit for many people. It's the only way to deny ignorance. No need to mock it. Learn from it and contribute.
