the ancient hebrews, and their yahweh included i suppose (can i say that here?
or do you'll prefer jehovah?
), didn't even know of the earth.
"Genesis one is simutaneously describing the creation and order of heavenly bodies, spirit creatures, and good and evil"
-- Wrong; nothing in the HEBREW text about spiritual creatures; and tree of good and evil is Gen 2
"But you will never uncover how it teaches all of those things by reading in an already translated english bible."
-- WRONG. You're special pleading and speculating theology --- none of this has anything to do with the text itself, what it says and does not say, its authors, audience (not you, by the way!), and its historical and literary context.
"You must go to the hebrew source to see what was changed and assumed and how it hides the truth of what genesis teaches."
DOUBLY WRONG. Although I advocate learning Hebrew, you're special pleading again and in fact ignoring the texts, and their views, and beliefs by trying to support your own through "secret" hermenutics and "changed" words.
I don't care what you want to belief and argue theologically. But manipulating these ancient documents to support your beliefs, or blatantly making them somehting they ain't to support you beliefs... that's just dishonest and negligent toward the text, their authors. etc.

OT, thanks.
Yes, my commentary or close reading of Genesis will continue to cover chapter 2, where I will start showing, via textual data, that we clearly have the hand and ideas of a different author starting ar 2:4b. This is all part of a larger project --- a book against Creationists, wherein the first chapter --- Genesis 2 Creation Accounts --- attempts to demonstrate my 2 goals:
I've so far posted on Genesis 1:1-2 showing that it is not a creation ex nihilo
Genesis 1:3-5 showing that the ancient Israelites conceived of day as light, no need for sun
and Genesis 1:6-8, the creation of our air-pocket in the midst of the primordial waters
I now of the 1st c. book the Life of Adam, which is a Jewsih text afirming resurrection for Adam, and thus all mankind. May have influenced Paul.
the ancient hebrews, and their yahweh included i suppose (can i say that here?

The ancient Hebrews, and their Yahweh included I suppose (can I say that here? Or do you'll prefer Jehovah?), didn't even know of the earth. Here's an excerpt from my post, the full text you can fnd here http://contradictionsinthebible.com/genesis-god-creates-dry-habitable-land-planet-earth/
Thus far from presenting God creating Earth, a spherical planet orbiting a sun in one of many galaxies in infinite space (none of whose ideas existed to the authors of these texts and the God they portrayed in them), the text of Genesis presents its god forming the substance earth, that is dry habitable and flat land, from an initial formless, vacuous, and desolate piece of earth that now rests on the waters below and is encased within a finite area of space itself enclosed and defined by a solid domed barrier called the sky, which further functions to hold back the waters above!
hello.. jehovah witnesses teaches that adam d ecided autonomous sovereignty and god choose let time elapse for demonstrate whether government is better: human government or divine government, allowing many suffering and blood in thousand years.. .
but, the human government received an intervention of god when he confused the languages ?
?at babel.
romans 3:25 says that jesus sacrifice was applied to the past for sins forgives.. then why god request animals sacrifice like "shadow of the good things to come" (hebrews 10:1) if the jesus sacrifice forgive sins to the past.. the animal blood not have none value, because jesus sacrifice was applied to the past.. why sacrificies for forgive of sins was requested by god if romans 3:25 says that jesus forgive the sins to the past?..
.
Must see website for this thread: http://contradictionsinthebible.com , search animal sacrifices
but what i can't explain is why no religious group is following these festivals, yahweh's "eternal laws"...... http://contradictionsinthebible.com/festival-calendar/.

here's a good post that not only deals with the contradictory issue of unclean foods in the bible's many texts, but more importantly ends with a plea for us all to be intellectually and spiritually more responsible and honest.. http://contradictionsinthebible.com/unclean-foods-or-not/.
