/lit/ - Literature

This. Plus a background in Kabbalah and commentaries. The Bible had many levels. The literal. The allegorical. The esoteric. Each has a different level of truth.

The literal tells of a history where God must ask Adam where he is, because He does not know. Lot must barter with God to save innocents. In the Torah and historical books, genocide and even child blood sacrifices to God are demanded.

The allegorical level tries to smooth these issues over by elevating the actions of God to various levels of abstraction.

The esoteric readings look for the hidden meaning placed in the book by God's Wisdom, Sophia. Sophia is personified in the Book of Proverbs and the many books banned and supressed by Christian and Jewish leaders because they threatened temporal power and social control. These are the Sethian Jewish books, and Gnostic Christian texts.

The method for reading in the edition fashion is long and difficult. You learn the vengeful and impatient genocider of the OT, creator of the material world, is not the perfect God, Ein Soph, the Monad, who we can only know by Its lower aspects.

Read these, but also look to the Kabbalhists and read the Gnostic Texts. The Kabbalah itself was refined from Gnostic methods.
