Episode: 215. The Problem with Atheism

It was discussed as a book with a specific context and purpose, not as a scientific text. It was highlighted for its poetic and imaginative elements, which convey important truths beyond scientific truths.

"

if we're looking at Genesis I think that we need to put Genesis back in its context if you read Genesis as if it is a contemporary textbook on science I think what you're doing is is wrenching it out of its original context and therefore you're bound to misread it and that's true of not just Genesis is really to have any work that to understand that we need to understand it's genre and we need to understand this context

what is the original context of the Genesis story well the original context it was written in terms of rival stories of creation other stories that were circulating in the ancient world and it was meant to be an answer to those and it uses poetry it uses imagery and that was what all those stories did and the poetry in the imagery I would not set that against truth as if on the one hand you have truth and the other hand you have poetry imagery and story I think that one kind of truth is scientific truth the empirically verifiable but I think it's too narrow to say well the only kind of truth is the empirically verifiable I think truth actually is broader.

Taking apart Genesis like that was really revelatory to me because my differed from the atheist because I approached the text with reverence and ignorance and humility, believing that I was nothing in comparison to what it contained.

Episode: Ep. 1154 - How Public Schools Became LGBT Brainwas...

Walsh claimed the Bible's book of Genesis clearly states that God created humans as male or female and that there is no biblical basis for choosing one's gender identity after birth.

"

Yes, Whoopi, you're exactly right. God was really clear. This could not have been more clear from the book of Genesis. So God created mankind in his own image. Male and female, he created them. ... There's nothing here about choosing our identity for ourselves sometime after we're born.

"

I say, yes, that's true, but you don't need to bring Genesis into this.

Or you could throw the book of Genesis at him. And honestly, you may as well literally throw the book at him if you're going to start quoting Genesis at that point because it will be just as effective.

The book of Genesis was mentioned in relation to the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden. It was said that God does not want humans to partake of the fruit of the tree of life in a fallen state.

In the Genesis story, they are prevented.

The book of Genesis was mentioned in relation to the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden. It was said that God does not want humans to partake of the fruit of the tree of life in a fallen state.

"

In the Genesis story, they are prevented.

So what is different then from what's going on here in chapter 8 is because it's not that God never wants humans to partake of the fruit of the tree of life, but he doesn't want them to do it in a fallen state. He'd rather he did it in a redeemed state.

That to me explains Genesis.

The book of Genesis was referenced in regards to Melchizedek, a priest and king who Abraham paid tithes to, suggesting a higher order of priesthood than the later Levitical one.

"

For this Melchizedek, this is referring to the Genesis 14 material. This Melchizedek was the king of Salem, the priest of the most high God who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and gave him a blessing.

So Melchizedek is a king of righteous, some kind of righteous king who is a king and a priest of the most high God in Salem, traditionally associated with an early version of Jerusalem, to whom Abraham paid tithes.

It was discussed in detail as the first book of the Bible, specifically the story of Adam and Eve's fall and the Cain and Abel narrative.

"

Well, so if we go back to Genesis 3 now for a little bit, then you get this moment then when Eve, and as I like to think about it, Eve feeling this tension.

So I've sort of jumped forward for a moment. Um, and, and there's this moment then in Moses five, verse 33 and Cain gloried in that which he had done saying, I am free.

So I've, I've committed a sin to get what I want and notice if you back up now. To verse 31, you get what leads up to that.

And then there's this really fascinating moment. Verse 23 of Moses five, if thou doest well, thou shalt be accepted the verse before, why art thou Roth? Why is that countenance fallen?
