Before reporting: I’m a mod

With Texas and other states forcing religion in public schools, this now is political.

    Again, Adam and Eve weren’t the first people, they were the first Jews. It makes more sense if you catch the proper tense of the first line of Genesis:

    In Hebrew:
     א  בְּרֵאשִׁית,
    בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים,
    אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם,
    וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ.

    In Latin:
    in principio creavit Deus caelum et terram.

    The English you know:
    In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

    The English you don’t know:
    In the beginning the Gods created the heaven and the earth.

    Latin picks up the plural correctly. The King James version does not.

    So you might ask, well, wait, if there are other Gods and other people, why aren’t they mentioned?

    Surprise! They ARE:

    Exodus 20:2-3:

    "2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

    3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me."

    In other words, there ARE other Gods, but I am yours and you are mine and we are all together, goo goo gajoob!

    Wait, that’s not right. ;)

      Wrong… God created the beings in heaven… Angeles etc… he made some princes etc… He made them rule over certain parts of the heaven the earth and so on… god Dosen’t want you worshiping g them he wants to be worshipped that’s why he said you shall have. No other gods before me…

      Greatest commandment is Hear O Israel the lord is one god!

        Until you get to the Gnostics, who claim that the Jews had been tricked into worshiping one of the lesser gods. Jesus was sent to fix this.

        Prove them wrong.
