     “Our Universe” Created by YHWH per Secular Media

    That is right, moral intellect “rises” in the lifeless cosmos, just as christ “rises” in humans. Human flesh is part of/connected to the cosmos being matter. Since moral intellect is the divine nature then virtuous souls on earth, ie., humans, are made in the image of the gods (elohim)...

     “Our Universe” Created by YHWH per Secular Media

    In the present universe the divine “cosmic powers”, the fundamental powers of the universe sustaining “all planets, all life” per Freeman and manifest as Paul said, “in the things that are made.” (romans 1:20) are IMO, associated with the following things we can see or perceive. elohim or gods...

     “Our Universe” Created by YHWH per Secular Media

    What do you think this OP does? It reconciles a scientific fact with a theological claim, eg. Romans 1:20, about God’s “eternal power” demonstrated “in the things that are made.” The docuseries describes beautifully how an ancient power(s) sustains all things that are made. You guys have got...

    Is “Yahweh and man” ONE being or TWO beings?

    I am not a trinitarian, but if the trinitarian doctrine is a corruption of the divine triad taught by the original- jewish-christians, then there is another option that you may consider. The human Yeshua was two natures, 1) the flesh that is YHWH, the “I Am” (To exist), and 2) moral intellect...

     “Our Universe” Created by YHWH per Secular Media

    Right, An analogy would be used to help explain something, like using a metaphor from nature. That is what they did. You take it literally in order for polemical purposes. You have been arguing with bible literalists for too long. Your brain has become as wooden as theirs. Typical for you...

     “Our Universe” Created by YHWH per Secular Media

    how else is a theist going to describe abstract ideas of extra-dimensional intelligence, divine powers influencing our world without drawing from nature around him? For example, God the Father is a metaphor analogous to human relationships. Go watch Brian Coxs well known videos on the...

     “Our Universe” Created by YHWH per Secular Media

    From my perspective science is supporting the claims of antiquity. What you do not get is that people in antiquity used natural phenomena to explain abstract ideas about a divine theocracy influencing the things that are made. i try to point out how science has came back around to support...

     “Our Universe” Created by YHWH per Secular Media

    Maybe you are going off on a tangent. All I said was that the purpose of the Bible is not to teach science so we should give the authors the room to make mistakes on the many physical attributes of planet earth, its size, its dimensions, how much water is in the oceans, how many species of...

     “Our Universe” Created by YHWH per Secular Media

    If the purpose of the Babylonian myth (and Biblical creation myth) was to teach science then your point would be valid. But the creation myths were clearly intended to propose an ancient source of divine power that not only causes our present world to exist but also energizes all life and...

     “Our Universe” Created by YHWH per Secular Media

    Right. Personally I suspect the “wise” snake in the garden represents Oannes in Babylonian myth. A “scaly one” (like a serpent) from the sea who taught Wisdom to the Mesopotamian civilizations. The story became inverted in the Hebrew version making the “scaly one” the bad guy, although the...

     “Our Universe” Created by YHWH per Secular Media

    @The Pixie I am no expert on the subject. What I shared above was what I have gleaned from online lectures and what I read from the Enuma Elish. If you want more details then you may investigate it yourself. But it appears that the Hebrew creation myth adopted the parts of the Enuma Elish...

     El Elyon is True God and his Two Powers are YHWH + Elohim

    Here is an interesting point of information. Speaking of Marduk, the chief of all gods, and son of the Father of all gods, namely, Anu, (just as Jesus is over all angels and son of the heavenly Father) the Enuma Elish (tablet 6, line 112) proclaims, “Let him do on earth As he has done in...

     “Our Universe” Created by YHWH per Secular Media

    I found the scientific answer to your question. Because the inspiration for the Hebrew creation myth came from the Sumerian/Babylonian creation myth then Day 4 in the Bible correlates with Tablet 4 of the Enuma Elish when the sun is created. And in the Enuma Elish we know that there was a...

     El Elyon is True God and his Two Powers are YHWH + Elohim

    I want to throw this out there because I feel that there is something to it. But I don’t know how to explain it fully. So I am going to put it down and come back to it later. The you tube video above said without explaining that the term “YHWH-Elohim” is likely an epithet to describe the Most...

     “Our Universe” Created by YHWH per Secular Media

    There is nothing esoteric about a secular docuseries demonstrating how all planets and all life come from an ancient source of energy. It parallels the theistic claim of a divine creator. How many times has Romans 1:20 been quoted in which Paul claims that the power of God is seen in...

     El Elyon is True God and his Two Powers are YHWH + Elohim

    Everyone who is unaware that the Hebrew religion developed from the Canaanite religion needs to watch this video. This is archaeological facts that our pastors, priests, and rabbis are NOT telling us. Yet it is documented to be historically true based on the discovery of the lost city of...

     Paul versus Peter, how did we get here?

    I do not speak for the other poster but my guess for the second circumcision would be of the obstinate heart or will. IOW Yeshua makes “the man’s whole body well” (John 7:23) by circumcising the heart or will of evil fleshy desires. Behold, the days (“Last Days”?) are coming, declares the...

     “Our Universe” Created by YHWH per Secular Media

    It is logic or right reason applied to a theological claim made by an apostle who presumably holds some authority to christians. (If I was responding to an atheist I would have to rely on the authority of astrophysicists because they don’t consider Paul an authority on anything. But you...

     “Our Universe” Created by YHWH per Secular Media

    From a theological pov “all things” come from God, therefore all energy came from God, and he is eternal. Therefore all things are eternal but in different states of existence. For example, matter and energy are associated so the material world we presently experience was once extremely...

     Paul versus Peter, how did we get here?

    Me too! There is no shame in changing ones mind after hearing different points of view if there is evidence or reason to support it.
