the evils she did were done as revenge and men take revenge “through god” all the time in the bible. she proved she needed no man so she does it herself. i hate that shes the violin because she wanted independence

Someone has confused the Red Sea with the Sea of Reeds (Yam Suf in the Torah’s original Hebrew), which Moshe (Moses) parted to give safe passage to the Israelites leaving Egypt, and subsequently drowning Pharaoh’s army.

It’s a very common error which I do not expect to encounter in this fine article.

Eric, yours is a very sensible line of reasoning. I agree with it entirely because, unlike the author of this article, I have really examined the contents of the Genesis account. Genesis chapter 1 relates events in a purely chronological order focusing only on the creation of the universe and the earth, and the way in which the earth was subsequently prepared for man. Just the fact that the writer describes the early life of the earth in such a scientifically supportable manner shows that his source of information was way ahead of its time. Then also the way in which he describes how life appeared in a logical order, first plants, then animals, and finally man.
The events described in Genesis 1: 26 to 28 compress a long period of time into a very short summary. Genesis 2: 7 to 24 expand upon those verses, adding context and detail.
Genesis 2 merely records events as they become necessary, but inj no fixed order, which is different from chapter 1.
As for that ‘Lilith’ creature, how on earth so many link it with some or other demon and then claim that the bible supports that concept simply eludes me. I can only conclude that they have accepted popular church dogmas of the dark ages as an authority.

The bible is to be contradicting so that man can’t make sense of it. If we got the enlightenment of all the answers, there would be no need for free will or love for that matter. We would be filled with knowledge. Would you rather live a life of what if’s experiencing all that life has to offer? Or do you want to be filled with wisdom of who you are? Lastly, why not have both? God offers us the ability to discern the truth as well as, being a good person for ourselves and others. It’s only contradicting if you don’t study it and use the tools he gives to figure it out.
