i know it's hollywood the noah movie- but they refered to god as "the creator" through the entire movie.
director said he did careful research for the movie with what he could find including the book of enoch.. wt of course says he did especial in gen.9:26.. any thoughts?.
El was the ancient god of that region, isra-EL means city of god. Elohim, eli etc etc all come from this ancient god El. Some say the word EL meant god, but historians have evidence for worship to El and though it may have become later part of the language to generically mean El, there was a god named El in the region, BEFORE the concept of Yaweh existed.
I read this all years ago, forgive me if I mixed anything up.

If you mean by name...jehovah.... then you need to do some research.
it was first ever used......700 years after Jesus. I don't mean the latin version, I mean the oringinal idea of mixing up the sentence YHWH (he causes what he wills) and the vowels from adonai (LORD) to make YaHoWaH or YaWeH.....later in latin JaHoVaH.
The idea came from a monk, copying out the old scrolls, he thought it may be a secret code and so miced the two together... so ask yourself if noah, a mesapotamian charachter from an older story of Gilgamesh knew a word made thousands of years later by a monk with an idea.....
well, i saw it.
you better get ready for everyone's talk about it.. it was 25 % biblical, 75 % fantasy.. noah was mean as a character, his family was great.
methusala, was an old fart..
The irony of a bunch of us exJW's complaining that this was ridiculous for its inaccuracy, concept and unbridled fantasy.........
We all bought into the most ridiculous of stories, concepts and fantasy and we ate it up for years lol....
Kinda funny x
....every form of government there is?.
the watchtower claims this is why armageddon hasn't come yet....apparently ol' j-man is showing how awful man is at governing himself.

Band on the run.... should hate groups who promote violence, unequality and persecution be banned?
What if a religious group becomes that?
I am alll for free thought and free speech and freedom.... should we stop people that intefere with other peoples right to these things?
In america religious people have blown up hospitals, killed doctors, killed gay people, voted in restrictive draconian laws.... a kid was kicked out of school last week because she looked too much like a boy for the religious schools liking.... its 2014! They quoted scripture for the reason they booted her!
I hate the idea of banning anything or anyone, but there has to be a line drawn when we encroach on other people's freedoms....
It is a difficult and uncomfortable conversation and I have no issue with religions existing at all, but any group or movement affecting their neighbours freedom is an issue, be them religious or not. It is a touchy subject for sure....
I am expecting....what about someone's freedom of worship....COOL... no problem, but no worship trumps someone else's freedom.
this is the worst series i've ever watched in my life.
whenever things are starting to get smooth and good characters seem to gain advantage, the writers just kill them.
i've wasted 25+ hours of my life watching how the writers make the bad win over the good.. they make you continue watching by planting the seed in your head that "just a few more episodes and everything is gonna be all right", but no, painful death comes upon anyone who is not cruel and perfidious enaugh.
I love GOT, heathen........ [running at you with pitchfork]
do you have questions about or want to understand evolution?
it is a difficult concept to communicate and so if it is not explained well , it is understandable that we would dismiss it.. i sincerely want to talk with people who want to learn more or see what all the fuss is about.
we are all learning and increasing our knowledge all the time and it is good to go over facts with critical eye.. evolution we can discuss, looking at the foundational facts and evidence, one at a time for you to go and check, agree or disagree with and return.. no pressure to accept it, you can decide for yourself, also no mocking etc of what you have to say.. .
Village Girl;
What on earth does the male sex have to do with anything, mitochondrial dna came from mothers and there is no sex in the earlier organisms. It is quite the opposite of what you have said so why did you say that ? What have you been told...because it was a lie.
I don't want to hear an opinion, what evidence, what scientific data supports your idea that evolution in any way is pro male?
I heed the words of Hitchens, my atheist hero. Some won't like me saying that, but he is. Also I found the stangulation of female power in our religion toxic and unbearable. I found release from that in science and evidence. I do not recognise the sexist element you have mentioned.

Compare that to your subscribed world view.....
"Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord."
"the head of the woman [is] the man"
"And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart [is] snares and nets, [and] her hands [as] bands"
"How then can man be justified with God? or , how can he be clean [that is] born of a woman?"
"But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days. "
" ...discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed"
I hope you don't hve daughters ....and I think we will leave it there hey Village Girl, I did say no trolling and hijacking. If you are sincere in an interest stay, I mean it please do. If you want to close your eyes, put fingers in your ears and preach loudly from a scroll, please make your own thread....
i went with my neighbor to an outdoor shooting range in the pawnee national grasslands in colorado.

Cool, would love to do clay pigeon here
this labi siffre song is so fitting!.
here's just one verse from it - .
brothers and sisters, when they insist we're just not good enough, when we know better, just look 'em in the eyes and say, i'm gonna do it anyway i'm gonna do it anyway.............. .
You saw my pain, washed out in the rain
Broken glass, saw the blood run from my veins
But you saw no fault no cracks in my heart
And you knelt beside my hope torn apart
But the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view
And we'll live a long life
So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
Cause oh they gave me such a fright
But I will hold as long as you like
Just promise me we'll be alright
So lead me back
Turn south from that place
And close my eyes to my recent disgrace
Cause you know my call
And we'll share my all
And our children come, they will hear me roar
So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
Cause oh they gave me such a fright
But I will hold as long as you like
Just promise me that we'll be alright
But hold me still bury my heart on the coast
And hold me still bury my heart next to yours
So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
Cause oh they gave me such a fright
And I will hold on with all of my might
Just promise me that we'll be alright
But the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view
And we'll live a long life
