Thank-you.
I'm usually quite self-conscious about it because I know I tend to stray from the usual sorts of conversations. Before I write I usually ask myself, "Is this the sort of crap Vesta111 would say?"
It was the knowledge of good and evil specifically but the sales-pitch was, "you shall be as gods yourselves" but your link to pagan myth is well-placed. The story of the introduction of evil into the world, the the worldwide deluge, is retold a thousand times but the subtext is always the same.
Curious.
Symbolically, the number 4 is associated with the world, i.e. 4 seasons, 4 compass directions, etc
Mr. Bunny, not by the hair on my chinie-chin -chin.
Both Alians and Angles look some what human, even GOD is depicted as resembling man kind in body form. We were made in GOD"S image, what ever that means, I believe in evolution.
I believe it was Betty and Barney Hill who were both the first to describe the Alians as little dudes gray in color, no ears and huge eyes. [ Space Suit????] I had a SCUBA full suit when I was into diving and with the goggles, had the suit been gray, I would have looked much like their Alien.
As we have seen in the Fight Club and the jokers that ran my past posts through a translater and how that very funny results came out of this practice of translations.
Thinking back 2,000 years and the meaning of the words, used at that time, the Rosetta Stone, translating the thoughts and ideas on the Black Sea Scrolls into modern day meaning is very difficult.
" OOH that is wicked cool-- over a good warm fire pit" Example.
Angle can mean anything from a producer on Brodway, a Genie in a bottle, a good visitor, A dream with good advice, a close friend of GOD, one who is loyal to HIM. Many people get a strange feeling, don't take that flight, don't do this don't do that that pops into our mind and it is not crazy to believe that an Angle whispered into our mind---Guardian Angles.
All things are possible, we believe in Evil spirits, bad luck to walk under a ladder, we Christian our Ships that sail the seas, We have a priest come to our new home or apartment and bless our home.
We believe in EVIL people and places, I have all ways wondered if Evil is a form of insanity.
There is no way I would ever put down others beliefs, I try to understand them, study on how these beliefs evolved through the history of mankind.
Question is, how to understand the mind set of humans that for 10,000+ years have and today still hold the ideas based on ideas that were had at a time in history by people who had a very different understanding of the world.
There may in fact be Angles and Alians and I will not put down either idea, what the heck, things are being found every day using the Bible and Science.
