  • Can you find sexism, wisdom, & human arrogance in Genesis?

    1. Genesis early Sex Discrimination

    A. God first created man, then the woman from his flesh, not the other way.

    First born is more “valuable” by Bible writers, and by many of today’s cultures.

    B. Eve was created so Adam will not be alone, as a help for him. Ch.2 18, She came to the world not for her own sake but for Adam’s.

    C. The Serpent picks up Eve, not Adam Ch. 3, 1 to be enticed for violating God’s command in committing the “first sin”. She is to be guilty for disobeying god’s command and its following consequences.

    D. To make the story more believable, it says that “the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes” Ch.3, 6

    All over the world, it has been mostly the role of women to select and prepare food for their families. It also implies that women are deceived by appearances

    E. Adam blames “the woman whom thy gavest to me” for his disobedience.Ch3, 12

    She is guilty twice: Violating god’s command herself, and causing her man

    to violate. Adam says to God: Don’t blame me, you gave her to me, excusing himself for his trouble due to her. This story has a widespread symbolism and belief world wide for a woman’s image as enticer, seducer and a trouble maker.

    2. Genesis of Wisdom

    A. God created the serpent Ch. 1, 24

    B. The Serpent was the more Cunning (Subtle) than any beast Ch. 3, 1

    C. The Serpent tells Eve that “God knows that in the day ye eat thereof,

    then your eyes shall be opened, and Ye shall be as Gods, knowing good

    and evil”. Ch.3, 5

    How did the Serpent know what would happen to humans

    when they eat from the forbidden fruit?

    3. The Tower of Babel

    A. Humans decide to build a City and a Tower made of Brick and mortar.

    “Whose top may reach unto heaven”. Ch. 11, 4

    B. God thinks that “nothing will be restrained from them which they have

    Imagined to do” Ch. 11, 6

    C. God confounds their language and spread them all over earth. Ch/ 11, 7

    God does not like competition from humans; he feels threatened from what humans could achieve; Ch. 11,6

    The tower of Babel 6,000 years ago was made of mud brick and mortar

    Ch.11. 3 therefore it could not have been taller than the largest Egyptian pyramid in Giza which is 481.4 feet tall with a base average of 755.75 ft, and 2.3 million blocks of stone averaging 2.5 tons each.) They did not have steel beams like we have today.

    In our day the tallest building is located in Dubai. UAE, it is 2,717 Ft tall

    With 163 floors and is 5.6 times taller than the largest pyramid.

    Conclusion:

    1. Most believers think that the “Scriptures” are holy, and should be used as a guide for living;

    Therefore, all forms of discrimination are correct & justified since they are in the book.

    2. Lucifer or Satan (or the Serpent) was created by God to give humans wisdom and become mortal in violation of God’s command. Why would God create Satan to spoil his own creation?

    3. Today’s skyscrapers, aviation, communication and scientific discoveries contradict Biblical

    accounts explaining how things came to be. How come God who did not allow humans

    to build a tower, allows them to land a Rover on Mars?

    4. It is in the interest of the “Holy industry” to save their class status, privileges, and huge

    Bureaucracies to keep donations coming in.

    It is in the interest of many male believers to keep women marginalize, weak, and subservient because this is the will of God and his holy book

    Women do not need a document written by men intended for their continued subjugation.

    Did you know?

    To this day male Jews thank the Lord in a prayer for not making them a woman.

    Women thank the Lord for making them “As he pleased. “

    These prayers are not a part of the Bible, but sanctioned by Rabbis.

  • Am I going verily verily to HELL?

    Hell Is where all mortal sinners are going to. It is a place where you can’t get a beer even if you show them your driver license. Don’t ask for a Bloody Mary, because you will be insulting the mother of Jesus, so the angels will not give you even a bottle cap opener.

    Indulgence

    Is a sort of amnesty from punishment in the afterlife.

    How?

    By buying Indulgences even for the dead, you help them commute to Heaven.

    Priests assured buyers that even their future sins will be forgiven, if they buy Indulgences.

    The Catholic Church had banned selling indulgences as long ago as 1567, following the reformation of 1517, but in 1960, the Pope has quietly reintroduced it.

    Purgatory

    The Church defines Purgatory as a place for “purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of Heaven” i.e. they created a holding tank for souls in order to make people reconsider where they wish go. This has been a great marketing tool to increase revenue, and avoid a financial cliff.

    Where is Hell?

    Hell is located in the center of the earth according to church authorities.

    It means you will be sent 1790 Miles deep to reach earth’s boiling Lava. (Magma).

    What a waste of labor comparing this to the 6-8 Feet deep we need to get dispatched the usual way.

    Not a single Apostle can say it is cost effective.

    The deepest oil rig drill on earth never reached half a mile deep.

    So far, in all human drilling and digging for oil, Gas, coal & Minerals we did not find a single soul to rescue and save.

    Jesus could save himself a lot of trouble sending sinners to Hawaii, where the earth Lava reaches the surface without any digging.

    Behold, and verily verily, I will be the first to go to Maui and lo, buy few indulgences to escape from the lava to the nearest beach.

  • Am I going to HEAVEN ?

    The New Testament is filled with references to Heaven; which is where God, Jesus, and the Angels reside, and where you will go to if you follow Jesus, Not twitter.

    If you believe, repent, and free yourself from sins; then you are allowed to enter this exclusive gated community.

    I have been looking for a piece of real estate in Heaven where the residents mentioned above or myself could enjoy a peaceful time, but concluded that there is no place like home here on earth.

    Why?

    Because Heaven is a Hell of a place to live in; at least during my lifetime.

    Consider the following:

    About 44 Years ago Humans landed on the moon, but they had to wear cumbersome protective gear to stay alive. Compare this with the shorts & T shirt I am going to wear in my winter vacation to San Diego this coming February.

    The Astronauts found a lifeless Moon, not a single plant or flower, not even one green poison Ivy.

    They traveled 238,900 miles each way.

    I traveled only 1,681 miles from Minneapolis to my Arizona vacation last winter.

    On the way, the Astronauts saw only void of black space.

    I saw Des Moines, Kansas City, Wichita, Santa Fe, and beautiful Sedona, AZ. On my way.

    Our nearest star is 4.7 light years away, but we already looked at 13 Billion light years away,

    We found Galaxies, Super Novae, Black holes, Dark matter, Dark energy, Dust, Gas.

    and temperatures from -270 to +300,000,000 Degrees C. Not a single soul to rescue & save.

    That makes me love the temperature of -40 degrees in International Falls, Minnesota.

    In the Summer, Minnesota is the only Heaven I know.

    CONCLUSION:

    Why can’t I find The Kingdom of Heaven out there?

    Because God, Jesus, the Angels and their Kingdom were sucked into a huge black hole waiting for them billions of light years ago.

    This is why I enjoy singing:

    “In heaven there is no Beer, (Danish Carlsberg) that’s why we drink it here”.
