This is what I don't understand. If the "sins are of the fathers blood” and Noah was from Abel's “bloodline” rather than Cain's seed, how could Noah's sons then be of the lineage of Cain?

It seems odd to me that Abraham came out of seemingly pagan lands. Where Melchisedec has a ritual that he reveals. Abraham has an ideal that he reveals about one God. So in both men knowledge is revealed about the character and nature of God. That God prefers the offering of one brother over another shows a fickle God who has already by that time instituted some sort of ritual for atonement. (again ambiguity) Both of these men (Melchisedec/Abraham) if they are priests of God would have to trace their rituals to some older faction of the true God. It is also interesting to note that Cain was made to wander the earth and wouldn't Cain's family have been severed during the flood of Noah? So did both of these men (Melchisedec/Abraham) derive their religious doctrines from some sort of ancient ritual perhaps from Adam and Eve. Would Cain's rituals have survived? Wine and bread would have been Cain's offering to God... Abel offered flesh and blood. I guess God prefers rare lamb steak over fruit and granola. So Melchisedec's order would have been instituted from Adam and Eve who "had no parents". It was not based upon lineage but faith. The faith and rituals of Adam and Eve would have been before the blood line was divided by Cain’s curse. So I would interpret that there are two orders, east of Eden, one of flesh and blood, and one of bread and wine.

I am not existential, I believe God exists and is alive, but maybe God exists in the state of zero? This might explain why God seems so silent, Why is God's voice so still and small? I believe zero is a state of godly love, humble humility, Christ-like compassion, empathy and peace. Thanks for the links, they will, I am sure, provide some very interesting insight. :)

Very good point. Some scripts show zero as a circle and some as merely a point. But yes, the western zero is an oval. :) As in ovulation, ovaries, egg. Light impregnates darkness. And yes, higher matters can only be achieved when built upon a rational foundation. Love and God bless you all.

Empty space itself is still a thing. Darkness is not just a void or empty but that void itself is an object... and as that void expands, light, matter and energy are emitted. Tohuw Bohuw No form and void, again ambiguity. Does that sound like zero? So in the beginning zero created one but one "became" (I guess) zero (empty and void). So the emptiness, even though it was a void, it was still a thing. Zero played upon the harp of the string theory and there was light. So then light lived within the darkness... God did not have to create light God just spoke it into being. Because the light and the darkness were one with zero. The void was formless and as the void expanded the result was matter/light. They began to fill the empty void. Even an empty void needs great power to occupy such a space as the universe occupies. Light needs a void. Thus if there were not a void then light would have no expanse with which to travel. Darkness is a thing. The darkness of the void itself is energy. God spoke light within a void. Light lives within darkness. Light and darkness are interdependent. If light expelled all darkness, there would be no void. Light would cease to exist because it could no longer shine. If darkness expelled all light then darkness would shrink and implode upon itself. Can a tree exist where there is no water and earth? Light cannot exist without a void where it can shine. Who created this void? Who created this empty space? "It didn't just pop put of a balloon." :)

Alchemy bridges the gap between God and man. :) It was alchemy and rigorous research that led to scientific discoveries that have brought us closer to God, not faith. Faith stifled the scientific research of men like Galileo and Copernicus. Faith is what burned Galileo’s contemporaries at the stake... We will know the truth by their fruits. So who walked in the steps of Jesus Christ; the scientists that have brought us 21 century medicine, genetics and computers… the theory of evolution… and what has faith brought us? Intolerance, bigotry, hatred, fear and murder imposed in the name of God and “the truth.” Stupid and gullible are the two who, believe without seeing…

In "Stealing Jesus," gay Episcopalian author Bruce Bawer argues the propaganda of Focus on the Family leads to the higher suicide rate among gay teens. He suggests that James Dobson is "more willing to sacrifice the lives of gay youth " who, devastated by hatred, commit suicide at an alarming rate "than to change the societal attitudes that cause them to take their own lives." A link I am not making a joke, Dobson is. Any picture of James Dobson would have sufficed to make my point, it is just that the particular photo I used made my point in the photo also. Is the image of the Bible without a phony label supposed to strike fear in the hearts of homosexuals? Is that this God of love and truth? Is this “free from the law” free indeed, or just more law disguised as “the good news?” They profess themselves to be wise, while they bury their young. Wise Words? US refuses to sign UN rights document on gays

Have you checked the price of wine lately? :) Wine is fermented over months... Ethel alcohol is the result. The same Ethel alcohol that Henry Ford used to power the first automobile. Since then Ethel alcohol is used and traded as a valuable commodity. So we are to believe that water H2O miraculously became C2H5OH? That is alchemy, pharmacia… Water, a dollar a gallon, wine 9 to 1000 dollars and up per bottle. I believe Mohammed was a prophet of Christ Jesus but I do not take the Qur’an literally either. I guess my point is that the Bible cannot be wholly divinely inspired with so many scientific and logical errors. Or are you saying God is an idiot? God didn't know the earth was round? God could give them laws about stoning homosexuals but God didn't know there was light in darkness too? Mamma’s don’t let you babies grow up to be homos, how disgustingly hateful and "ignorant"... You may consider instead your own judgment day... You tell others that they are going to receive damnation and hellfire, or are you just pointing a finger at others? I don't mean these words in a hateful way, and I actually don't think the subject of homosexuals killing themselves is funny either. I have just over time become suspect of "the word of God" and I discern that God is bigger than the narrow and often erroneous truth “the Bible” conveys.

Well, science dissagrees with you... "Gamma-rays are the most energetic form of light and are produced by the hottest regions of the universe." http://science.hq.nasa.gov/kids/imagers/ems/gamma.html Argue your point with NASA. :)

E=MC2 Even matter is energy. Gamma rays are called rays because it is light, light that exists in "darkness". So whose analogy is invalid?

Again, twisting words to make the Bible fit. Visible light is energy too... So what is your point, energy dispels darkness? The Bible has used "light" to provide simply another broken and ambivalent allegory of good and evil.

God leads a double life.

Hold that "lamp" up against that black hole then talk, would the ancients marvel then? Some are led, some lead.

http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/...llion-suns.html Darkness dispels light... A natural part of creation and rebirth is that light lives in darkness. oneness with zero ...and darkness was upon the face of the deep

Blessings and love to you too. :) If one were to venture into space beyond the protection of our atmosphere; invisible light could cook a person with light photons that are imperceptible to the human eye, light like, microwaves, infra red, solar radiation in general, all imperceptible to the human eye but still “living in darkness.” Entire stars/suns and solar systems are born out of the darkness of black holes. Did light live in the black hole and come out as plasma? Yes... Also a black hole can equally dispel light just as light can dispel darkness. Consider that the stars lovingly live within the habitat and darkness of the night sky. Science will say dark energy and matter are necessary building blocks of our universe. Consider that light exists in wavelengths far surpassing our ability to perceive it. Humans are capable of perceiving with the naked eye only a narrow bandwidth of visible light. So light does exist in darkness, even though we cannot see light in darkness it is still there. And if light dispeled darkness then there would be no darkness because light would be visible all the time. Though it exists in darkness it cannot always dispel darkness. God cannot be omni-present without living also in darkness. Maybe light does not “live” in darkness but it most certainly exists in darkness. I thought I would use one of my own figures of speech to emphasize what is important. One may note that light exists more in darkness than the narrow perceptible band in the spectrum that we are able to see. Once again, the all knowing God of the Bible is wrong. Black hole dispels light... The creator of the universe sees things a bit differently than the creator of the Bible. Where is this "solid ground" we used to stand on with sincerity?

light lives in darkness

'Til Kingdom Come Steal my heart and hold my tongue. I feel my time, my time has come. Let me in, unlock the door. I've never felt this way before. The wheels just keep on turning, The drummer begins to drum, I don't know which way I'm going, I don't know which way I've come. Hold my head inside your hands, I need someone who understands. I need someone, someone who hears, For you, I've waited all these years. For you, I'd wait 'til kingdom come. Until my day, my day is done. And say you'll come, and set me free, Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me. In your tears and in your blood, In your fire and in your flood, I hear you laugh, I heard you sing, "I wouldn't change a single thing." The wheels just keep on turning, The drummers begin to drum, I don't know which way I'm going, I don't know what I've become. For you, I'd wait 'til kingdom come, Until my days, my days are done. Say you'll come and set me free, Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me. Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me. Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me. Coldplay

Muddy waters are often full of more nutrients and help plants grow and thrive better. :) Egypt believed the Gods filled the Nile with "muddy waters" as Osiris was believed to cause the banks, rich in silt, to overflow and irrigate farms along the Nile river banks. The farms closest to the "muddy waters" grew better. One may think of speaking in tongues as a muddy river for it is not one pure tone or tongue but again it is speech in ambiguity.

One part of the mind sees, while another part of the mind listens, then another part of the mind reasons and the heart is touched with love out of ambiguity.

I would rather live conscious of inherent ambiguity with mercy rather than live with absolutes which are often errant seeds tossed in fertile ground, they grow like weeds and choke out the truth. Is God more served by us recognizing the ambiguity or by imposing impossibly strict absolutes on ourselves and others? Thus I would conclude that the image of God is ambiguity and the spirit of God interfaces with such diversity as the world. How do you confess ambiguity from sin? If one is to confess Jesus from sin and confess God from sin if Jesus and God represent absolutes and strict laws then, is the spirit the person receives holy? Holiness is in diversity not partiality. God is no respecter of persons. For the seed of the spirit is ambiguity. The seed is not a certain race, sex or sexual preference. The seed grows diversity. God waters the seed with ambiguity. H2O again two elements make one substance. So is water hydrogen or oxygen? God waters and tends us with diversity itself. God causes it to rain on the just and the unjust. Why would God make it rain on the just if God is so holy? Because holiness is loving with diversity and ambiguity.

Your point is well taken... :) A God too narrowly defined cannot represent and love humanity as a whole. It is the height of arrogance to only see God through prejudice and intolerance. God is black, God is white, God is diversity and beauty beyond our ability to understand. We are in God's image only when we accept this diversity as ultimately God's will.

God is love and God is holy. I disagree that God finds homosexuality unholy. However ambiguous God is, the human needs the approval of God in order to feel justified and righteous. Whether God is perceived as a mother, father or even something more androgynous, God is still the source of all peace and prosperity. God just wants to be loved and when we love God unconditionally we receive love and acceptance from God in return. Whether this is a part of our brain “the God spot” that makes us feel a presence and seek the approval of this feeling of a presence is very possible. But this “God spot” is none the less part of us and cannot be denied without the result of condemnation. Whether it is daddy’s arms or mommy's arms we all need to love and feel loved by God.
