olympias is an interesting woman.
"YHVH's earthly presence was female, the Shekinah, "
Uh that is a verylate Jewish concept. The book of Proverbs, Wisdon of Solomon and Sirach all written in Hellenistic times have a 'Sophia' between YHWH and humans but the concept of god being female is foriegn then. Earlier YHWH had Asherah (mentioned in Jeremiah) who was worshipped alongside

i was not aware but just learned that is was queen victoria who was the first to get marries in white dress.

the wt has embraced the big bang/old earth etc just not evolution.

I read an awake from the 1960s that caims you can't get sonething from nothing. Of course by this time quantum mechanics was known.. shame shame wt...
i've never thought about it before, but isn't it some sort of blasphemy and extremism to use a god's name in the official name of your religion?.

Sorry I forgot his name was Yeshua.
Yes a monk made us the name Jehovah but to be honest I give the guy credit.. at least he could write and translate to a degree. Jehovah preserved YHWH enough that he could get away with it enough to be repeated by Tyndale etc.

So if Genesis 1 is poetry (Only verse 27 is paralleism btw)
then chapter 2 and 3 and 4 are prose.
