  • do not return.
    

    Now that was unnecessarily rude.

    That was actually polite. You can tell because I didn’t insult you or otherwise demean you. I simply stated that I hope the person who was mean to me for no reason doesn’t come back to a community that they apparently only visited to attack:

    It amazes me how much you lovers of God hate truth which is God (…) I know this about you people. Not just you but all of you. You don’t listen to reason. You don’t listen to logic. You’re blind to the truth. God has to pull a bunny out of his hat to get you to acknowledge the truth. And it’s so insulting. Because you have minds capable of rationalizing. But you don’t rationalize. You’re attached to your ways and your lies.





  • So to be clear, when a stranger who stated their position of relative naivety on christian theory asked you to clarify your analysis on a combination of old and new testament material that you end with

    “I should note that these insights come not from me but from God.”

    and doesn’t find your answers direct enough to answer their extremely straightforward question and informs you of this, you have chosen to demean them rather than address the question.



  • You want me to explain my explanation?

    yes, because

    God’s not the kind of person who speaks without reason. What’s recorded is what God wants us to know for a reason. Cain’s punishment is to be a wanderer and a fugitive. But we don’t see that happen in the story of Cain. We see Cain settle in the land of nod and he founded a city where his people went on to be pretty successful. But you know who was a wanderer and a fugitive? Moses.

    was not enough for me

    Have I given any indication that I’m speaking any other way?

    You haven’t explicitly indicated which way you’re speaking in the first place so I don’t know what the “other” way is defined against.



  • I believe Cain is Moses and Moses and his wife to be, are the two witnesses (I can talk more about why the other witness is a woman in another post if you’d like). I also believe that Jesus and Abel are the same person.

    Please don’t take this the wrong way, but speaking as a Jew, what?

    Are you mixing literal and symbolic interpretations in the same analysis? At least one of us is very confused.
