Who honestly believes this dreck? Not only that, but supposedly one of the 'greatest' work of all time contains a chapter repeating this rubbish ad infinum to try and establish a patriarchal tree with randomised names and impossible ages. Whoever reads the Bible beyond these pages must truly be a fool.

You fucked up good bait with this obvious tell. People always fuck up bait threads by throwing in one really stupid, obvious line at the end out of concern that what they wrote before was not incendiary enough to provoke a rise from people. The result is usually, like in this case, self-defeating as it gives away too much.

You've got to remember, anon, Adam was not born. He was fashioned and a pleasure well-loved by God. His disobedience, like our own (yours and mine), removed him from that high status. After the fall, he was just a mortal thing like us. A soul in flesh. The generations after Adam were a connection to that mythic age for the Jews, and their successor cult the Christians.

Take it however you want. Metaphysical truth. Psychological drama. Semitic creation myth. They're all correct.

Genesis 5:4-5
4 And the days of Adam after he begot Seth were eight hundred years; and he begot sons and daughters.
5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died.

>"sons and daughters"
Adam had additional unnamed children with Eve, and perhaps other women. It's clear that Adam, if taken as a literal person, would have procreated with some of his own children or great-great-grandchildren during his long lifetime.

But that's hardly relevant because Genesis isn't meant to be taken literally in 2018. Even the Church doesn't take it literally. How to understand this text is in fact part of the mystery of faith. Is the face that hovered over the waters true the serious metaphysical portion and the rest just a primitive tribe's creation myth? Plenty of non-denominational philistines are "Bible believing" and teach their brats the Earth is only 6000 years old, but they don't follow the laws on clothing or food and they don't stone people to death for sin either.

I've thought about this too. Adam could be the first hominid to be given consciousness by god and thus can be the first human. Or something like that. There is a lot of ancient history in genesis that isn t evident these days. The great flood could have happened as some geologist like pitman suggested the black sea was previously closed off and only flooded in the holocene. The flooding could have split humans into different parts of the sea and they spread out to other lands diverging in culture and language as they went. Consider how many indo European cultures have a cow diety in their culture, suggests a common source of orgin. But I don't know and I doubt we will ever know but it's fun to think about.

The NT is brilliant, but you have to remember it's a totally different work by a different set of authors. The OT is a Semitic creation myth, tribal chronicle, and book of law. Yahweh makes Man, then floods the world in anger, then when the Jews finally come along they are some hard-headed ignorant goatfuckers who seemingly can't obey God. Every time he turns around, they're worshipping idols or inbreeding or some shit. God wipes them out left and right with columns of flame, but they are his people so he is even harsher to their enemies: plagues in Egypt, killing all their firstborn males, putting brimstone on Sodom, etc.

The God of the New Testament is different, it's not Yahweh. It's the Trinity: Heavenly Father, Son of Man, Holy Spirit. Pater, et Fili, et spiritu Sancti. All are God, but none are each other, and they all express the highest principle: love. The Father is not an anthropomorphic deity like Yahweh, the Trinity is more similar to a Greek philosophical god. In the Garden, Yahweh loses sight of Adam and goes calling out, searching for his creation. The Father does not 'lose sight' and does not perambulate in the NT. The Father sees all, even those who pray in secret. The NT is brilliantly designed to sit directly atop the OT and draw authority from it. You have to remember these stories were written to convert Jews. Jesus of Nazareth, of the House of David, the awaited Jewish Messiah, had finally come. The Pharisees who rejected Jesus and his message, the Sanhedrin who had him crucified, they would quite literally not come to know the Father.

Keep in mind I'm not espousing some kind of Marcionism here. Christ was present at the creation of the world back in Yahweh's day:

>John 1:1
>In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

tldr: Learn to recognize the mysteries, and don't be confounded by them. They are theological wonders. For its effect on humanity, the grace it brings into the world, anyone would have a hard time saying the Bible isn't divinely inspired.

There is a certain string of even religious people who will not admit that something is going on with education. I could say of course a few things about it: essentially the goal here is to manipulate the public into thinking and behaving certain ways. Education is flawed.

Point is, the fact of the matter is that Jesus Christ performed miracles. As a Muslim, I have to believe it, and I can because there are four eyewitness accounts. Stop believing in everything you hear, there are people trying to stop you from believing what is happening right now, after all.

A lot of the pseudepigrapha have great themes. Here's the translation of that part from the Latin version:

>And they asked him, "What is it with you, father, that you should gather us together? And why are you lying on your bed?" And Adam answered and said, "My sons, I am sick with pains." And all his sons said to him, "What is it, father, to be sick with pains?"

>Then his son Seth said, "Lord, perhaps you have longed for the fruit of Paradise of which you used to eat, and that is why you are lying in sadness. Tell me and I will go to the vicinity of the entrances to Paradise and will put dust on my head and throw myself to the ground before the gates of Paradise and mourn with great lamentation, entreating the LORD. Perhaps he will hear me and send his angel to bring me the fruit which you desire." Adam answered and said, "No my son, I do not long for that; but I have weakness and great pain in my body." Seth responded, "What is pain, O lord father? I do not know; do not hide it from us, but tell us."

I'd say the opposite is true, if you go too deep into Christianity you are left dwelling on stupid paradoxes and unanswered questions as being some sort of profound truth, studying western mysticism/esoterism and eastern thought allows you to better pick out the universal teachings in Christianity among all the Jewish legalistic prescriptions and cultural myths.

There is pretty solid evidence that almost everything of significance in Judaism comes from Zoroastrianism after the Persians freed the Jews from Babylon and the Jews were their subjects for 400 years.

Yes, poor regular jews have nothing to do with this. Yes, it is as many whites and other non jews conspiring to make this happen as there are actual jews and they work together often.

No, that doesnt mean calling this set of goals "jewish" is wrong because at some level it is arguing over the semantics and implications rather than acknowledge the vastly over-privileged elites and how disproportionately (but not exclusively) they are more likely to be jewish and seem to be on the same page as a non-insignifcant chunk of non-jewish elites working to do the same to their own peoples and everyone else as well.
