they can't dance.

the apple was never an apple is where i started, then i started forming comparisons of Gensis to the creation of things in modern times and Genesis is no different than any equation.

Or alphabet, it can be cracked.

Was this before or after Phil Collins became their lead singer?

So The apple is actually a Library ?

So you're saying the apple was really knowledge...

I'll take the apple anytime. Better to know pain than to be stoned for the rest of my life I say.

Are you familliar with Lafontaine ? How do you explain what a Library is to someone who is completely ignorant fo such concepts as we take for granted in our civilised world ?

Why? Its all a bunch of old nonsense anyways. Religion was just a good way to keep the stupid in line back in the day.

it still is, but that doesnt change the fact of what it is.

read Thomas Paines Age Of Reason 1794, it has always been a way to keep people in line.

Spill the beens, I was to read your enlightenment.

That's some good stuff zz...I am all for knowledge, although I am not opposed to being stoned from time to time either.

care to elucidate your dicovery ?

People have been trying to decipher the first 4-5 books of the old testament for years...

Isaac Newton spent his last 30 years learning hebrew to work on what he thought was the "bible code"

And in the beginning, God said "Let there be light!"
And there was light.
"Good" said God "Now I can see what I'm doing!"

Then he made all the other stuff and the rest is history...

ya'll are crazy

who said it was?

yep..it's all about metaphors.

...their violation was to try to become like God.

Hmm.. If you're gonna decipher something, it's best if you read it first..
Nowhere is 'apple' mentioned..

:glugglug

The Bible Code and The Bible Code II are both worth a read. There are some really interesting things that they've found in the Bible.

As for Genesis...

Adam, in that time was pronounced,

Adom' .. which meant 'man' and not 'a man'

And (unrelated to Genesis).. Mary was originally referred to as 'amah' .. which has several definitions such as maiden, house maid, wet nurse.. among others.. but nowhere was 'virgin' included in the definition..

The 'virgin' deal replaced 'amah' by someone thinkin that 'virgin' would have more impact apparently...

old thread glad you folks bumped it!

i create some wcky ones! this is probably me playing with GHB again, DOH! ;)

say what you want but as a catholic boy with 10+ years of catholic school, i was told apple!
\
its instilled in me!

damn nuns.

and when i said 'apple' it was just a variable, it can even be a tomato!

The story has been changed so many times, it doesnt really matter, the point is it was never a fruit.

The Tree of Knowledge was not a fruit tree.

Anyway, im out today, this is an old thread that got bumped, not in Theology mode today.

Read this:

"There is rich literature called Aggadah, legendary material, that comments on these early chapters of Genesis. The Aggadah asks similar questions and provides many different answers. Some answers are funny, some are ironic, and some are even a little insulting to women (but remember they were written at the time of ancient Rome, not today!).

Most modern Rabbis look at these early Biblical texts not as accurate data or real history, but rather as a perspective of what is expected of us by our Creator.

One Aggadata or Midrash suggests that if God has used (instead of the rib) the toe, Eve would have been a run-around. Likewise, if God had used (instead of the rib) an elbow, then Eve would "bend the elbow" and drink too much.

Why the apple? Well, many other fruits are suggested, including the tomato! In ancient lore the apple had various meanings and were a tempting love fruit with possible sexual overtones. "

Just as many talk of the '3 wisemen'

There is no mention of how many there were.. Only that there were 3 gifts..

Gotta love it.. :)

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Bible coding is freaky scary.

Jews are generally fascinated with numbers. Of course there is an amazing amount of research into it. Encrypting and formulas and such. It's really freaky.

religion is for fools

Then how did we get here?

I have that book :)
