Actually I just read the whole Lillith fiasco.
As I understand it, the basis for any religious belief is faith. Either you buy it or you dont.
I can tell you this much... Dont expect it to make sense to you or for there to be proof. Its about faith.
As someone said to me once, the Bible was written in a way as to explain the creation of the universe and of man to very simple, humble, and ignorant people with absolutely no understanding of science.
How to live with the two contradicting views?
I remember reading "Inherit the Wind" in highschool (about the "Scopes-monkey trial" that dealt with the teaching of evolution in American schools).
The book poses several arguments (presented during the trial) that permit a logical and and at the same time faith-based belief system.

Actually, the King James and later translations of the Bible leave much to be desired.
The ancient Hebrew alphabet contained numerical equivalents for each symbol: letter/numbers actually. With a working knowledge of Kaballah and an original Hebrew text the Old testament takes on a whole new meaning. The creation as told in Genesis bears no resemblance to translations. If I remember correctly it's description of creation is a conceptual abstraction and not intended to be taken literally. And throughout the old testament there are many areas where the nurmerological significance is more important than the literal translations.
I could also point you to Biblical justifications for murder, gluttony, drunkeness, incest, whoring, communism, and a host of other things.
enough.
Welcome hroark. If you don't know where to begin here, just surf the site and reply when compelled to do so. You have probably noticed that F1 is somewhat peripheral here...

Hroark, There are 1½ years worth of posts on here- going back to when Shamu first made the move to this site... Noone expects you to catch up overnight... Although there will be pop-tests after 2 nights! |
