CHET-NUN Shaloam, all. I am not nearly the scholar that some of you are, but I will offer some intuitive insights, if I might, to the discussion at hand....
... Oh, my friend, this forum is not in dispute showing weakness. This is "discourse containing inferment"-- the definition of "argument". This forum is for...
 CHET-NUN Thanks, Chelly. Anyway, I wholeheartedly agree that edification is necessary. But I did not say or mean half of what you are alleging of me, so I...
It's great to see activity on the forum once more. That was, however, a rather quick exchange, and then "Bow Out." That's too bad. If anyone is still...
No Ger, Not a blow out! I have done some of my most serious studying on the subject of "nose, nostrils", and how to determine the dual/singular/plural nature...
I see that in your reply, you deleted some of my message and left part of it. Just in case someone missed the original, and only read it in your reply to me,...
Chelly: Good to hear from you. I'm looking forward to what your study has to offer. Have a good one. Ger ... however, ... the ... pg. ... or ... creatures ...
Chelly: The Hebrew Deity is often referred to as "most high", Gen. 14:18, 19 and elsewhere. Heb. 'eleyon'alah which is derived from the verb 'alah =high, to...
... and ... Ger, I do not see 'eleyon'alah anywhere in the Hebrew scriptures. I see 'eleyon standing alone without 'alah, and yes it is derived from the verb...
Chelly: I was not saying that the Hebrew Deity ever referred to himself as Allah. I was attempting to suggest that both the Hebrew and Muslim reference to...
The arabic 'allah' is the equivalent to the hebrew 'eloah'. Bekah--I understand why you 'bowed out' and that is why I'll do the same. ... Ger, I do not see...
... himself ... the ... something ... Let me rephrase that for you then. In the authors story line, the Hebrew diety refers to himself many times. For...
... Yep! And he also referred to the 'Deity' as Abba. As Trinitarian theology holds that Jesus was God Incarnate (or that Jesus is God), then I suppose one...
Due to some errors in the previous post I deleted it and replaced it with an edited version. I sometimes have trouble typing what I am thinking. Sorry. In...
Shalom Mr. Folbre, Just an observation, from a non-scholarly POV: Your logic, below doesn't make sense to me....but I'm not sure if it's your argument, or just...
Hello, Joseph: Let me attempt to clarify my vision of the Eden Narrative. I am suggesting that the author is describing the creation of a primitive form of the...
Mr. Folbre, Please address my observations, directly, rather than attempting to push your "Eden Narrative" view. In this discussion, I am hoping that you will...
Mr. Folbre, Sorry if my previous post seems a bit harsh. My point is that, if you bring in your entire interpretation of the Eden Narrative, you will view the...
Joe: I am with you 100%. I will address your comments in my next post; in a few minutes. So many times people want to cram the entire Heb. Text into a...
Your "therefore" statement doesn't seem to follow from the previous premises. You describe a dual masculine noun (as derived from the singular form) as having...
Ger, Sorry, but no, you haven't addressed my questions, but that is alright. I have re-read through the verse in question and it is quite apparent to me that...
Joe: I hope that when you say, "Thank you for the discussion," does not mean that the discussion is over. So, you immediately jump into the rest of the Eden...
... mean ... No, if it's not over, then it's not over. You weren't addressing my questions, though, but were answering questions that you wanted me to be ...
Joe: I will do my level best to answer you; "It doesn't? What then, in your opinion, does Genesis 2:21-23 say? Yes, ... enough, ... It is not my intent to...
Ger; Here it is: In Hebrew there is only Masculine and Feminine, there is no neuter. There is however, in the declension of a noun, a common gender for the 1st...
Thank you so much, Chelly: I will look into that information that you have shared. I've got a lot of snow to move today, so it may take me a while to get back...
... OR.....becomes a "living being" ... Is the correct translation "..as opposite to it," as you're suggesting, or is it more accurate to translate it "..as...
Hello, Once again I see a grave error committed in interpreting the text. Remember that chronological sequencing CANNOT be used to interpret the text. Block...
What, specifically, are you referring to? It doesn't seem that this discussion has been linear (i.e. chronological) at all. This particular "block" involves...
Many portions but including: Not awakened until Gen. 3:21?!? What about Gen. 2:23...immediately following HaShem brining the (now) woman to the man, and he...
