Download or read book The Battle of The Sexes It s Been Downhill Since The Garden written by H.R. Boaz and published by BookLocker.com, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-05-08 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The Battle of the Sexes” explores how the Word of God (YHWH), both the Old Testament and the New Testament, has been twisted to support a narrative that is not in the Scriptures. Traditional translations and teachings of the Bible have either presumed or assumed that men are given power and dominion over women. But nowhere in the Bible is this statement made, not even in Genesis (Bereishis) 3:16, “And your husband will rule over you,” which is not spoken as an imperative but rather as a prophecy. The original Hebrew language of the first five books of Moses, also known as the Torah (Old Testament), tells a very different story of the primal couple. A story that is contrary to what is often taught in all religions that use the Word of YHWH as their foundation – namely, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. With an abbreviated overview of human history as told from YHWH’s point of view, we discover a connection of how all cultures have come to share similar myths, legends and stories with the Torah. And how these ancient archetypes of good and evil have been misused to support a psychological and socio-political advantage of men over women. Likewise, a brief foray into the unique Hebrew language, the ancient language in which YHWH created our world, and dictated the Torah to Moses provides proof that the Word of God is indeed communication from another dimension. Like a massive encrypted message, the Torah includes multiple levels of God-given “fences” that protect the Word of God from man’s distorted perspective. The Hebrew language itself provides the most significant “fence.” Like no other language each Hebrew word defines itself by the letters that make up the word. This is only one feature of the holy text that assures that the instructions of YHWH remain intact, regardless of man’s interpretations. “The Battle of the Sexes” is an examination, from a fresh viewpoint, into the issues that arise between the genders, which stem from the original disobedience of God’s one instruction by the primal couple in the Garden of Eden (Gan Eden). We see a more complete perspective of who did what in the initial defiance, and how we continue to struggle in the female/male relationship with those very same issues first raised in Gan Eden. Moreover, with clarity, the Hebrew language reveals a much greater significance of the female to the human experience than is typically taught in any religion. Exposed in her Hebrew name (which is not usually translated properly) is her irrefutable role in God’s plan of salvation for the human race. God did not make women subservient to men, and YHWH did not give men or women dominion over anything but the animals, and the earth to utilize as God intends. Humanity is to work together, not to manipulate or fight to assume power over one another. Nowhere is this idea more consequential than in the marriage relationship. Being the preeminent human relationship, YHWH presents marriage as the foundation for all other human relationships, from Bereishis, the beginning creation of our world, and the human creature. Undergirding the arrogant, impudent presumption that men are to rule over women is the equally destructive fallacy that God is masculine. The Battle of the Sexes explores how from the initial verses and chapters of the first book of Torah, the book of Genesis, we begin to understand how, as the Jewish Sages say, with the change of one letter the world is destroyed. With the misinterpretation and misunderstanding of one Hebrew word, "adam," our modern grasp of the essence of YHWH and the female/male relationship, as described in Torah, has been distorted, and all but destroyed. The Battle of the Sexes is sure to, not only answer, but raise many questions regarding the female/male relationship as well as humanities' relationship with God.
Download or read book The Origin of Sin written by Prudentius and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-17 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aurelius Prudentius Clemens (348-ca. 406) is one of the great Christian Latin writers of late antiquity. Born in northeastern Spain during an era of momentous change for both the Empire and the Christian religion, he was well educated, well connected, and a successful member of the late Roman elite, a man fully engaged with the politics and culture of his times. Prudentius wrote poetry that was deeply influenced by classical writers and in the process he revived the ethical, historical, and political functions of poetry. This aspect of his work was especially valued in the Middle Ages by Christian writers who found themselves similarly drawn to the Classical tradition. Prudentius's Hamartigenia, consisting of a 63-line preface followed by 966 lines of dactylic hexameter verse, considers the origin of sin in the universe and its consequences, culminating with a vision of judgment day: the damned are condemned to torture, worms, and flames, while the saved return to a heaven filled with delights, one of which is the pleasure of watching the torments of the damned. As Martha A. Malamud shows in the interpretive essay that accompanies her lapidary translation, the first new English translation in more than forty years, Hamartigenia is critical for understanding late antique ideas about sin, justice, gender, violence, and the afterlife. Its radical exploration of and experimentation with language have inspired generations of thinkers and poets since-most notably John Milton, whose Paradise Lost owes much of its conception of language and its strikingly visual imagery to Prudentius's poem.

Download or read book Deliverance from Slavery written by Dick Boer and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-10-14 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Delivery from slavery’: these words, taken from a Dutch labour movement song, perfectly map onto the Bible’s central concern. They are also similar to the Torah’s key phrase: ‘I am YHWH, your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage' (Ex 20:2). The words are invoked here to serve as an axiom to be introduced into the modern period. The watchword ‘delivery from slavery’ translates the biblical message of the exodus from slavery into the theory and practice of a modern liberation movement. The present work argues that biblical theology is the attempt to ‘update’ the ‘language of the message’. It searches for a language that attends to the concerns of today’s world while ‘preserving’ the concerns that originally motivated biblical language.
Download or read book A BIBLICAL JOURNEY SUPPORTED BY SCIENCE written by Edouard RIVIER and published by RIVIER. This book was released on 2022-09-05 with total page 682 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science, in the present state of our scientific knowledge, including the most advanced, can support our faith in order to make the texts not only understandable, but also interesting and often beneficial for our reflection or our interior life. This systematic alliance between faith and science is one of the most innovative aspects of the book, which is highlighted by its title. Thus, on a general level, history, geography, archaeology, linguistics, paleoanthropology, and other disciplines are now able to retrace the history of ancient palestine over a long period of time. Retracing by the same token, the history of the small territory of canaan that the hebrews conquered under the leadership of moses and then, joshua. You will discover egypt, master of the entire near east for more than a thousand years, and the invasions of the sea peoples who ravaged the land of canaan shortly before its conquest by joshua, as well as the hittites and the invasion of egypt by the hyksos. If we place ourselves at the more modest level of the protagonists of the profane or sacred stories that are told in this volume 1, “the time of the patriarchs,” science will teach us a lot about their habits, their fears, and their joys. Texts found in the remains of the city-state of nuzi will shed light on the lifestyle of these nomadic shepherds. Finally, I propose to use the theories of information and communication, in a totally new way, as two scientific tools at the service of the bible. We will consider the sacred text as containing a series of “messages” (in the sense of telecommunications) that god addresses to us through time and space. The senders of these messages are characters “inspired” by god (the patriarchs in this volume 1). These messages reach our mailbox (either e-mail or brain). Communication theory and habits will dictate our first action: authenticate the sender so that he doesn’t send spam or bugs! You will discover how to authenticate abraham through history and plate tectonics, and jacob through paleoclimatology and hieroglyphic inscriptions. Geophysics, including paleoclimatology, plate tectonics, volcanology, and seismology, makes it possible to convert facts tainted with divine wonder to simple manifestations of the earth’s moods, which can often be dated, and which make it possible to take these great patriarchs out of the mythical fog in which our ignorance has tended to confine them.

Download or read book Psalm 49 and the Path to Redemption written by Janet Smith and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-08-04 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Psalm 49 and the Path to Redemption, Janet Smith revisits her PhD dissertation, Dust or Dew: Immortality in the Ancient Near East and in Psalm 49, reconfiguring the book for a general audience and expanding it to focus on a theme of biblical redemption. The new work takes the reader through the development of Israel’s belief in an afterlife, both the positive hope but also the negative fate of those who are spiritually impoverished. Beyond that, Psalm 49 takes the reader into the mind and heart of the sages and priests who wrote many of the psalms. There we find how much we share with them emotionally and spiritually. Since Christianity is a movement with roots in the Old Testament, the reader is introduced to some important redemption concepts as expressed by Jesus Christ. Finally, the book reviews a few modern near-death experiences to ask if the Scriptures regarding afterlife have relevance today. This book is thought provoking and should cause anyone reading it to think about their own personal path to redemption.

Download or read book My Mother s Sons written by Patrick Krayer and published by William Carey Publishing. This book was released on 2013-09-09 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Mother’s Sons provides a thoughtful model for how Western Christian workers can respectfully negotiate sexual boundaries and norms in Muslim contexts. Westerners are inclined to impose their own culturally shaped notions of gender equality and justice on non-egalitarian communities, alienating the very people they are seeking to serve. The author draws on his own research among Pakistani Pashtuns, intercultural theory, and exegesis of Christian and Islamic sacred texts to show that it is possible to work for transformational change without offending those who live within a patriarchal system.
Download or read book The Epistle of Jesus to the Church written by James D. Quiggle and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Epistle of Jesus to the Church is a commentary on the book of Revelation that assumes Jesus was the author and John the reporter of the words and events described. Here one will not find an explanation of an anti-Roman message written by John in hidden codes and apocalyptic motifs to fool Roman authorities. John the apostle and prophet was the faithful scribe, who did not create the message but faithfully and accurately described all that he saw and heard. This commentary follows the principle that the Scriptures explain themselves, because the Revelation is a word from Jesus to his church--a word that is grounded in the Scriptures. The Epistle of Jesus to the Church has been written with teachers, students, and pastors in mind. The interpretation of the book of Revelation is thorough; difficult passages are addressed, and plausible answers are provided to the questions posed by in-depth study of the biblical book. This is a commentary for personal study or classroom instruction, one that may be confidently used to preach and teach the Revelation of Jesus to the church.
