genesis was written by Moses which means the whole premise is slanted. If moses was an orphan raised and educated in the ways of Egyptian Mysticism and plagarizes Gilgamesh what point are we at?
And if, as some believe, Jesus is Lord how come the name is even incorrect? Points of fact 1. there were at least 2 councils of Nicea (where men edited whats left in the bible, decides what to censor, and what to completely exclude). 2. there was also the council of Trent.. and WHO KNOWS how many others man mande "edits"
Part B points of fact: 1. There was no 'J' sound in Hebrew 2 the word jesus is slanderous slur meaning Je (jew)- sus (pig, as this is what sus means).. 3. yahweh/yeshua is beleived to be more accurate.
My point is that the bible is a 2 thousand year example of the game "telephone" where what we have now is ABSOLUTELY WAY OFF.. and here's another one..
Adam meant man as in (humans) not the Dude's name as in genesis.. and eve also did not mean the lady who ate the apple.. it meant garden/forest..

So now the approach is in gnumerology (a private joke referring to gnosticism=gnusticism initially presented by the author James Joyce, I believe).
Though it doesn't really matter, if the 'value' of a name is made from numerological analysis or from other similar considerations.
What's important is the validity of the 'system' leading to any conclusions.
And the world is filled with diagrams with circles and arrows, resulting in some reasonable 'answers' sometimes, to cottage-industry versions with bizarre methodologies and bizarre 'answers'.edit on 16-8-2011 by bogomil because: spelling

Loved the way you put it. And of course the gospel of Thomas.
To me duality is the fabrice of the univerese. You cant have one without the other.

Thanks for the post and the simplicity of you're message of LOVE.
Once we all relize this. We can begin to walk the correct path.

I believe that is 1 John my friend...
Heres another bit from it...
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

There's barely a mention of Love in the bible, other than how much you should love the God character and its aliases.
No mention of love between two people, no mention of the love for your family, your children.....

Thats it? a few scraps mostly concentrating on loving your enemies (which is truly awful advice) and you consider it to the the God of love????
Surely there would be entire books dedicated to love, the ultimate expression of emotion to another, the bonding of two people that transcends everything........but there isn't. The authors of that novel are much more concerned with genocide, praising the God character and what people do in bed.
