Lol, forget it. You’re obviously mentally disturbed.

I understand, Defend your deity.

KnownUnknown:


What does the “genealogy of Shem” have to do with the above?

You don’t know who shem is, chrestian?
Your shepherd haven’t taught you?

gohf:

Only God if Israel and God of only Israel, are not the same thing?

What is your point?

Israel was given to his as a inheritance from his father, elohim.

Defending middle east gods with such vigour

gohf:
if Elohim is the father of Yahweh, so what?

Please kindly keep your wrong unwanted correction, there are Hebrew and Arab classes online to teach you the difference, even strong dictionary is very available.

The moab king seriously dealt with your yahweh lol

Can you send me a link to the ones you have watched?

“Allah” is not an arabic word lol

gohf:
be it vav or Waw, even the Torah or old testament doesn't deny that he is a God of war, as one of his many attributes.

And it never said He is the God of only Israel.


Now I ask again, what are you driving at?

He is a foreign god from egypt and yes the tanahk said he was only god of israelite..

gohf:
like I said what business as my post with you're saying

What's your point?

Just correcting you, allah means same thing with elohim.
Elohim and asheera are the parents of your israelite god, yahweh.

oaroloye:
MISHIGAS!




. LEVITICUS 11:1-47.

AND The LORD Spoke
unto Moses and to Aaron,
Saying unto them,
2. “Speak unto the Children of Israel,
saying,

'THESE ARE THE BEASTS
WHICH YE SHALL EAT
AMONG ALL THE BEASTS
THAT ARE ON THE EARTH.'

3. "Whatsoever parteth the hoof
and is cloven-footed
and cheweth the cud
among the Beasts,
that shall ye eat.
4. "Nevertheless these
shall ye not eat,
of those that chew the cud
or of those that divide the hoof:
the camel,
because he cheweth the cud
but divideth not the hoof,
he is unclean unto you;
5. "And the coney,
because he cheweth the cud
but divideth not the hoof,
he is unclean unto you;
6. "And the hare,
because he cheweth the cud

them shall ye eat.
10. "And all that have not fins and scales
in the seas, and in the rivers,
of all that move in the waters,
and of any living thing
which is in the waters,
they shall be an abomination unto you:
11. "They shall be even
an abomination unto you;

but ye shall have their carcases
in abomination.

in the waters,
that shall be an abomination unto you.
13. "And these are they
which ye shall have in abomination

and the Kite after his kind;
15. "Every raven after his kind;

of every flying Creeping Thing
that goeth upon all four,
which have legs above their feet,
to leap withal upon the Earth;
22. "Even these of them ye may eat;
the locust after his kind,
and the bald locust after his kind,
and the beetle after his kind,
and the grasshopper after his kind.
23. "But all other flying Creeping Things,

shall be an abomination
unto you.
24. "And for these
ye shall be unclean:
whosoever toucheth
the carcase of them
shall be unclean until the Even.

ought of the carcase of them
shall wash his clothes,
and be unclean until the Even.
26. "The carcases of every Beast
which divideth the hoof,

and of every Creature
that creepeth upon the Earth:
47. "To make a difference
between the unclean and the clean,
and between the Beast
that may be eaten
and the Beast
that may not be eaten."

IT TAKES SEVEN YEARS OF DILIGENT STUDY TO UNDERSTAND THE LAW OF MOSES- LET ALONE THE WHOLE BIBLE.

This is because WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING have SEVEN LEVELS, and each takes ONE YEAR to acquire and assimilate.

There is no safe way to accelerate this process at this time.

We might be no closer to a solution, were it not for the Apocryphal Epistle of Barnabas. He alone, of all Ancient Scribes, gave us the Key to Yahweh God's Religion:

. THE EPISTLE OF BARNABAS 9:1-20.

BUT why did Moses say

"YE SHALL NOT EAT
OF THE SWINE,
NEITHER THE EAGLE
NOR THE HAWK;
NOR THE CROW;
NOR ANY FISH THAT HAS NOT
A SCALE UPON HIM?"

answer, that in the spiritual sense,
he comprehended three doctrines,
that were to be gathered from thence.

2. Besides which he says to them
in the Book of Deuteronomy,

"AND I WILL GIVE MY STATUTES
UNTO THIS PEOPLE."

Wherefore it is not
the Command of God
that they should
not eat these things;
but Moses in The Spirit
spake unto them.

3. Now the sow
he forbade them to eat;
meaning thus much;

Thou shalt not thyself
to such persons as are
like unto swine;
who whilst they live in pleasure,
forget their God;
but when any want pinches them,
then they know The LORD;
as the sow when she is full
knows not her master;
but when she is hungry
she makes a noise;
and being again fed,
is silent.

4. "NEITHER,"

says he,

"SHALT THOU EAT THE EAGLE,
NOR THE HAWK,
NOR THE KITE,
NOR THE CROW;"

that is thou shalt not
keep company with
such kind of men as know not
how by their labour and sweat
to get themselves food:
but injuriously ravish away
the things of others;
and watch how,
to lay snares for them;
when at the same time
they appear to live
in perfect innocence.

5. [So these birds alone
seek not
food for themselves, but]
sitting idle seek how
they may eat of the flesh
others have provided;
being destructive
through their wickedness.

6. "NEITHER,"

says HE,

"SHALT THOU EAT THE LAMPREY,
NOR THE POLYPUS,
NOR THE CUTTLE-FISH;"

That is, thou shalt not
be like such men,
by using to converse with them;
who are altogether wicked
and adjudged to death.
For so those Fishes
are alone accursed,
and wallow in the mire,
nor swim as other fishes,
but tumble in the dirt
at the bottom of the deep.

7. "BUT"

He adds,

"NEITHER SHALT THOU
EAT OF THE HARE."

To what end?—To signify
this to us;

"THOU SHALT NOT
BE AN ADULTERER;
NOR LIKEN THYSELF
TO SUCH PERSONS."

For the Hare every year
multiplies the places
of its conception;
and so many years as it lives,
so many it has.

[j]8. "NEITHER SHALT THOU
EAT OF THE HYENA;"[/i]

That is, again,
be not an Adulterer,
nor a corruptor of others;
neither be like to such.
And wherefore so?

Because that creature
every year changes its kind,
and is sometimes male
and sometimes female.

9. For which cause
also he justly hated the Weasel;
to the end that they should
not be like such persons
who with their mouths
commit wickedness
by reason of their uncleanness;
nor themselves
with those impure women,
who with their mouths
commit wickedness.
Because that animal
conceives with its mouth.

10. Moses, therefore,
speaking as concerning meats,
delivered indeed
three great precepts to them
in the spiritual signification
of those commands.
But they according to
the desires of the flesh,
understood him as if
he had only meant it of meats.

11. And therefore David
took aright
The Knowledge of
His threefold Command,
saying in like manner.

12. "BLESSED IS THE MAN
THAT HATH NOT WALKED
IN THE COUNSEL
OF THE UNGODLY;"

as the Fishes before mentioned
in the bottom of the deep in Darkness.

13. "NOR STOOD
IN THE WAY OF SINNERS,"

as they who seem
to fear The LORD,
but yet Sin,
as the Sow.

14. "AND HATH NOT SAT
IN THE SEAT
OF THE SCORNERS;"

as those Birds who sit
and watch that they may devour.

15. Here you have The Law
concerning meat
perfectly set forth,
and according to
The True Knowledge of it.

16. "BUT,"

says Moses,

"YE SHALL EAT ALL
THAT DIVIDETH THE HOOF,
AND CHEWETH THE CUD."

Signifying thereby
such an one as
having taken his food,
knows Him that nourisheth him;
and resting upon Him,
rejoiceth in Him.

17. And in this he spake well,
having respect
to The Commandment.
What, therefore, is it that he says?
—That we should hold fast to them
that fear The Lord;
with those who Meditate
on The Command of the Word
which they have received
in their heart;
with those that declare
The Righteous Judgments
of The LORD,
and keep His Commandments;

18. In short, with those
who know that to Meditate
is a work of pleasure,
and therefore exercise themselves in
the Word of The LORD.

19. But why might they eat
those that clave the hoof?
—Because the Righteous liveth
in this present World;
but his expectation is fixed
upon the other.
See, Brethren,
how irably Moses
commanded these things.

20. But how should we
thus know all this,
and understand it?
We, therefore,
understanding aright
The Commandments,
speak as The LORD
would have us.
Wherefore He has
circumcised our ears
and our hearts,
that we might
Know these Things.

SINNERS ARE ON PAR WITH UNCLEAN ANIMALS.

Those who act like Animals can be controlled, dominated, and destroyed by those who act like Holy Human Beings.

. JOSHUA 1:5-9.

5. "There shall not any man
be able to stand before thee
all the days of thy life:
as I was with Moses,
so I will be with thee:
I will not fail thee,
nor forsake thee.
6. "Be strong
and of a good courage:
for unto this people
shalt thou divide
for an inheritance the land,
which I sware unto their fathers
to give them.
7. "Only be thou strong
and very courageous,
that thou mayest observe to do
according to all The Law,
Which Moses My Servant
Commanded thee:
turn not from it
to the right hand or to the left,
that thou mayest Prosper
whithersoever thou goest.
8. "This Book of The Law
shall not depart out of thy mouth;
but thou shalt meditate therein
day and night,
that thou mayest
observe to do according to all
hat is written therein:
for then thou shalt
make thy way prosperous,
and then thou shalt have
Good Success.
9. "Have not I Commanded thee?
Be strong and of a Good Courage;
be not afraid,
neither be thou dismayed:
for The LORD thy God is with thee
whithersoever thou goest."

BY THE END OF THE 19^th CENTURY, THE FIRST PSYCHOLOGISTS HAD DETERMINED THAT THE ABOVE-AVERAGE ADULT USES ONLY 10% OF THEIR MIND, CONSCIOUSLY, AND THEORIZED THAT APPROPRIATE TRAINING FROM INFANCY WOULD ENABLE ANYONE TO RETAIN 100% CONSCIOUSNESS, THROUGHOUT THEIR LIVES- HOWEVER, THE KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO DO THIS FOR ONES OWN CHILDREN WAS KEPT FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

It was claimed that nothing could be done for the people who had never had such training from babyhood.

However, in 1950, a Dropout researcher unveiled a method that would restore 100% Consciousness to anyone of any age.

The Establishment Masters ordered the discoverer "blackballed:" any professional validating his discovery was threatened with the revocation of their licenses, credentials, and credibility.

His method was based on the paraphrasing of two chapters of The Bible.

. MATTHEW 18:1-35.

. THE EPISTLE OF BARNABAS 10:11-12.

This proves that THE CREATOR OF HUMANITY is the God of Avraham, Yitzak, and Yacub. He alone, of all the alleged gods on Earth, Commands His Worshippers to attain 100% Consciousness, and to use It in His Sevrice.

. DEUTERONOMY 6:4-9.

4. Hear, O Israel:
The LORD our God is one LORD:
5. And thou shalt love
The LORD thy God
with all thine Heart,
and with all thy Soul,
and with all thy Might.
6. And these Words,
which I Command thee this Day,
shall be in thine heart:
7. And thou shalt teach Them diligently
unto thy Children,
and shalt talk of Them
when thou sittest in thine house,
and when thou walkest by the way,
and when thou liest down,
and when thou risest up.
8. And thou shalt bind them
for a sign upon thine hand,
and they shall be as frontlets
between thine eyes.
9. And thou shalt write them
upon the posts of thy house,
and on thy gates.

THESE SO CALLED SCHOLARS ARE UNBELIEVERS, WHO MAKE UP USELESS AND FALSE INFORMATION FOR THEIR PERSONAL GAIN.

The Bible states explicitly that the Ancient Kemetians, and other people knew of THE SUPREME BEING, but put inferior gods before Him.

This led to embarrassment, when their pursuit of those gods brought them into conflict with The Supreme Being.

THE BIBLE STATES EXPLICITLY HOW YAHWEH BECAME THE GOD OF Y'SRAEL.

He introduced Himself to them in person.

Nobody introduced Him to them



THIS IS AN ASININE STATEMENT, GIVEN TO DISTRACT PEOPLE'S ATTENTION FROM THEIR IMPORTANCE: ONLY VIOLATION OF THE TORAH IS SIN.

ONLY YAHWEH GOD Commands us to CHOOSE LIFE, and Promises His Presence and Guidance, should we do so.

No other gods have ever done that.

. DEUTERONOMY 30:19-20.

19. I call Heaven and Earth
to Record this Day
against you,
that I have set before you
Life and Death,
Blessing and Cursing:
therefore Choose Life,

that both thou
and thy Seed may live:

20. That thou mayest love
The LORD thy God,

and that thou mayest obey
His Voice,

and that thou mayest
cleave unto Him:

for He is thy Life,
and the Length of thy Days:

that thou mayest
dwell in the Land
Which The LORD Sware
unto thy Fathers,
to Abraham,
to Isaac,
and to Jacob,
to give them.

. 2^nd CHRONICLES 16:9.

9. "For The Eyes of The LORD
run to and fro throughout
the whole Earth,
to show Himself strong
on behalf of those
whose heart
is perfect toward Him.
Herein thou hast done foolishly:
therefore from henceforth
thou shalt have wars.”

.   AMOS 3:3.

Noise, a sango worshipper is a Theist.
You are quoting tanakh you think you are doing something, monolatrist?

It seems one has to be intentionally dumb to be a Chrestian.

gohf:
the question I asked and what you're saying have no connection

And Allah or even Elah has a different spelling and meaning to Elohim

Allah and elohim means same thing, they are from the semitic language.

gohf:
I didn't dispute that God isn't a title, I didn't even call his name Yahweh, but you brought so many things up that's why I am asking you... What is your point state is clearly


I do know God's name is written as YHVH in the Torah, but what does that have to do with this thread and what you wrote?

It’s written as “YHWH” of shasu tribe.
Torah is just the first 5 books of the tanakh which Christians call “Old Testament”

gohf:
are Muslims circumcised like some of the people u mentioned

You know y’all both worshipping Abrahamic gods?
Allah is same as Elohim.

gohf:
hmm, really, okay. And your point is?

Read what i said again to find the point.

gohf:
then Jesus is what?

A common latin name for male.

gohf:
then Jehovah is who?

“Jehovah” is a foreign name in the hebrew bible, you have to ask william tyndale who created king james VERSION for that, what’s surprising is that william tyndale is also a “jehovah witness”.
I heard he got the name “jehovah” from a monk.

Buhari is working

siofra:
A man with the same principles and good looks as Thomas Sankara.


I've searched for a man like this all my life but I've been unsuccessful so far. It looks like I'll never find a man at least similar to him, with the similar ideals and way of thinking.

He doesn't necessarily have to be revolutionist but he can be a sensible social justice warrior, not the one that panders to the idiosyncrasies of the left.

In this day and age, I'm beginning to doubt a man like this exists. But if I find him, I swear not even heaven or hell will separate us.

If I never find him, I'm content to be single and old with my 48 cats or may be explore the other side of my sexuality.

Thank God he's not a Nigerian man

Will a man like that want a woman like you?
Like attracts Like.

“Love your enemies” doesn’t concern the Russians. They got a free to destroy their enemies, what a loving god!

Jews, Israelite, Hebrew, you can see the pattern, they are middle east mythologies!

famozine1:
My own thinking is God himself spoke through u thanks for the message we pray for grace to quite and never return

“God” is a title not a person.
You talking Israelite god, Yahweh?

Janosky:


Carry your mumu offline.

No, mugu.
How’s the sahidic coptic bible reading going?

Maynman:


The masoteric text is incredibly altered and the kjv got his Old Testament from masoteric text.
The masoteric text only contains the tanakh that’s Old Testament.

Yaldaboath worshippers in the watchtower.

Over 100 people die of malaria everyday in Nigeria, when are you going to dream about the solution?
Or you only dream about inconsequential things?

Lying is not bad, only the intentions behind it matters.
If a friend maybe because of insanity or greediness want to kill you and he ask which route you are taking, it will be wise to tell him a wrong route.

Yahweh of shasu tribe

All these dumb scare tactics won’t work, teach them properly by educating them on the consequences of it!

Nicene Christianity is from Judaism.

knowingChrist:
That's not true. It was translated as snake. however, animals do not represent anyone in the bible, they're characters. For example, Herod is not a fox, there was no fox when Jesus called him fox. The gentiles were called dogs, but that's about their behavioral pattern

What’s not true?
In hebrew language “nahas” simply means snake/serpent.
Before “bible “ was written, Hebrew language already existed!

Ultimas:
He did not lie. He only made a false claim.

This is crass, how low can y’all go?

MadamVanessa:



Be a gentleman

Don't rush to have sex with her unless she give you all the sign that she needs it

Feed her well

Wash her undies

Incase sex should occur, don't fail to give her head except, she refuses you to go down on her

When she's about going, give her nothing less than 20k

You are living in your fantasy that’s why you are where you are now

The torah is just the first 5 books of Old Testament.

REVISITING SOME GENERAL CHRISTIAN BELIEFS

What exactly is the serpent?
The only other verse where the Bible talks about deception at a degree higher than is common was testified by the prophet Jeremiah, where he revealed that the heart (or mind) is the most deceitful thing i.e. more deceitful than all animals or anything.

9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9)

By comparing scriptures with scriptures, comparing this to what we see in Genesis helps us see that they’re talking about the same thing: the most deceitful thing, i.e. a thing that’s more deceitful than all animals or all things God made. The writer of Genesis represented this thing as the serpent but Jeremiah says that the same thing is the mind. Therefore, the serpent mentioned in Genesis is the mind, and the mind is represented metaphorically as the serpent. A person’s mind is said to be serpent while many people’s minds will be said to be serpents.

This might be hard to accept for some, but careful study of the scripture; comparing the several scriptures talking about the same thing, understanding the meaning of the Hebrew word translated as the serpent, and comparing the character of the mind with what is defined of the Hebrew meaning of the serpent will reveal the truth.

The Hebrew word translated as the serpent is nachash. The word comes from a root that means to “whisper or hiss”. Nachash by definition is to divine, practice divination, observe signs, learn by experience, diligently observe, foretell the future, or tell fortune. Understanding these attributes and the mode of operation of the serpent helps us to put into proper perspective the things we say is the serpent.

If we say it’s a physical snake, then we imply that a physical snake can practice divination, foretell the future, learn by experience, or carry out any other of these defined attributes of the word “nachash”.

How then do we understand the missing piece? Do we keep telling ourselves that it was a physical snake? Or do we just accept that it’s the mind? No, we cannot go with any of this just yet. The answer is buried in the scriptures, it’s only needed to do a proper study uninfluenced by pre-existing beliefs to try to interpret the message and find out what is the serpent.

Although we have seen a verse of the bible that indicates that the serpent is the mind, a few verses might also indicate that the serpent is the devil so nothing can be established just yet. Everything true in the scriptures is well distributed across several books, any information that’s not well distributed is misunderstood.

The first step to understanding the message is to study the mind to see if it meets the attributes defined by the word “nachash”. The mind can predict the future, learn by experience, diligently observe, note patterns/signs, etc. The mind also whispers to us from within, in fact, we can have an internal dialogue in our minds. Also, the mind by operation is the seat of deception. These are defined attributes of the metaphoric serpent in genesis.

The mind more realistically fits these criteria and gives a better understanding of the scriptures than the thought that a physical snake can speak to a person, foretell the future, tell fortune, or meets any other attribute defined by the word “nachash”.

The next step is to thoroughly search the scriptures to see if they reveal that the mind is the serpent. By searching the scriptures, we see that every time there’s leading away from the word of God, it’s the imagination of the mind that leads people away from the word of God; the truth. This is the predominant message of the scriptures and it’s what all the prophets testified. This helps us see that what led Eve astray from the word of God was the imagination of her mind, the dialogue was internal, and the deception was of the mind.

Apostle Paul taught this when he compared the serpent to a person’s mind. He says a person’s mind will lead them astray the same way the serpent deceived Eve.

3 But I fear lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ (2 Corinthians 11:3).

The word “as” in the verse is used to indicate equivalence. It’s used to state that two things are equivalent when compared. The message here is that the beguilement of Eve is equivalent to how a person’s mind can deceive them, leading them away from Christ, the truth.

Recall, that the serpent is the principality of this world wherein the prince of this world operates, therefore we must first recognize the operation of the prince of the world to fully grasp what the serpent is. What is the operation of the prince of this world? It’s to blind the mind so that a person does not see the light of Christ (2 Corinthians 4:4). This shows that the operation of the prince of this world is in the mind. This makes the mind the principality of this world wherein the prince of this world operates.

It's easy to get lost in metaphors in the scriptures, and this is why many are lost in the scriptures. Apart from common figures of speech that are well distributed across the scriptures, the books of Genesis and Revelation apply special metaphors for certain descriptions.

The of creation and the events of the Garden of Eden were written metaphorically, just as the whole of the book of Revelation is written metaphorically, people easily confuse themselves when they apply a metaphor as the interpretation of another metaphor.

Such interpretation of the scriptures is futile, it’s like turning in circles. It does not edify the soul because it does not come from rightly dividing the scriptures, and thus does not reveal anything. Both books must be rightly interpreted to reveal the message, it’s only through the revelations of the apostles that we properly understand the figurative writings of the scriptures.

The mind is the serpent, anyone who operates by the mind is called after the mind. Thus, the devil is called “serpent”, the Pharisees and Sadducees are “serpents”, and any other mental persons will also be called “serpent”. It’s a description based on mindedness. A person is called after their conditioning, mental people are called after the mind while spiritual people are called after the spirit.

The serpent was Eve’s mind, the beguilement of Eve is the first recorded case of the deception of the mind, and helps us realize that the deception of the mind is original. The Bible constantly talks about the power of the mind and its deception. It’s a fundamental message of the scripture but those who do not see this message blame another entity for the deception of the mind.


However, understanding this one thing puts the message in Genesis in proper perspective with every other part of the scriptures, and helps us understand certain parts of the scriptures that have eluded most people.

This helps us understand that when Eve said “the serpent beguiled me”, she meant that her mind deceived her. It also helps understand many other statements in the bible. An example of such statements is that of Jesus:

19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you (Luke 10:19).

The message here is that Jesus says he has given us power over our minds. The significance of this message is this: while we were yet in the world, we were slaves to our minds, and it led us to do whatever thoughts it creates for us, but now we wrestle our minds, overcoming it by the power we have in the word of God; which power we receive through the knowledge of Christ. The same message is reiterated throughout the New Testament (2 Corinthians 10:5; Ephesians 6:12).
