My apologies. I thought you were a pot telling me about your potter but here you are telling me you cannot know your potter.

I think every reasonable person might tell me a pot is not a person but I guess I need to wait till i find a reasonable pot.

Kikikiki..nice one.

Maynman:

You are reading the pentauch and sinaiticus that’s talking about Israelite god, yahweh of shasu tribe.
Bible means BOOK!

I may indeed be "reading the pentauch and sinaiticus that’s talking about Israelite god, yahweh of shasu tribe", but I am talking, by writing, about Genesis 1 in the Bible which means book and which may be about "the Israelite god, yahweh of shasu tribe", and which sounds like an answer to questions 2, 10, 11,12, but is not what I am talking about, as I am at the beginning as you might note with more than 4 questions to seek answers to with my own eyes and my own mind and my own other senses which I feel you might delight in seeing me use and do instead of just believing what I am told by others, though correct me if I am wrong.

You do not want to deprive one of the lessons learnt by seeking for oneself or do you?

Pentauch and sinaiticus is not only talking about yahweh of shasu tribe. Pentauch and sinaiticus is about the Israelite god, yahweh of shasu tribe!
All the questions you listed are about yahweh and how he operates!
Bible means book, you are reading the JEWISH BOOK.

You should understand where the so called lesson is coming from!

What’s your point? The god in genesis can refer to Yahweh, an unknown god, or whatever the authors meant by god. Have you read “Yahweh created” anywhere?

God is a title not a person.
And “god” is an English word.
The authors of genesis is unknown.
The god mentioned in genesis is the Israelite god, yahweh.

How do you know that the god mentioned in Genesis is Yahweh?

Have you seen a version of genesis that says so?

If the author is unknown, how are you certain that the author meant yahweh?

Well, I and most people live in man made structures known as houses, which are meant to protect people from the elements, different critters in the environment, and people that may mean to do them harm....

You don’t know what pentauch means that’s why you think it’s not answering your question

Dumbest theist on nairaland indeed

Maynman:

Who are the writers of the book?
The pentauch is about yahweh of shasu tribe.
The “he” is Yahweh, it’s basic English.

I'd presume those who wrote a book that you say is about the "yahweh of shasu tribe" would be those who now about the "yahweh of shasu tribe", whoever the writers of the book may be, and assuming it was written, and are writing to tell you how "he" the yahweh of shasu tribe operates.

Thank you. Now I only have to consider if what the writers have written about the operations of the yahweh of shasu tribes are valid or not and how and of what benefit it is to let it consume my time. After all, who's to say they knew what the heck they were writing about or could write well enough. I mean, so far I have read them write about In the beginning, and a God who created the heaven and the earth, without a "yahweh of shasu tribe" in sight.

I wonder why and how the writers were operating, as opposed to how the yahweh of shasu they were writing about operates, at least first.

Noise.
You are reading a book you don’t know its author?

Pentauch from tanakh is about yahweh of shasu tribe.
The “genesis” you are quoting is called bereshit!
Bereshit was not written in English, “god” is an English word.
Yahweh is a “HE”, his father and mother is EL and asheera!

Yes, I am reading a book which according to you, i don't know its author, and you have not exactly said who the author of the book is so I guess you don't know it's author neither, but please note that this would not be the first book I have read without knowing it's author. I very regularly read books that had the title pages and authors missing.

There was no time i said you don’t know the author, maybe you should read what i said again and stop assuming.
According to you do you know the authors of the Jewish book in particular bereSHIT you are quoting?

You the one quoting the jewish book in particular bereSHIT(genesis)not me.
And the jewish book is about “HE”, Yahweh of shasu tribe, son of El and Asheera.
They are mythologies!
The “tanakh” was created through canon, we have other books that didn’t make it inside, so as the New Testament too, the earliest New Testament, sinaiticus is the most corrected book in history and that’s where you find logos and rhema which was used to translate dabar in Hebrew.
Imagine oo, Too many errors to correct inside “word of god(Yahweh)

And not to forget that before Christianity was created and started using the tanakh as Old Testament (“genesis” is a greek and latin word, bereSHIT is the correct one before it was translated) it’s already been in use in Judaism, and Judaism comes from yahwism.

I don't know the authors Maynman, but that has never stopped me reading books I do not know the authors. Apart from reading books that the covers and title age had been torn off, some even missing half the book, I have read books that are of unknown authors. The Pali Dhammapada being one amongst many as is the Corpus Hermeticum. They were obviously written by people, just that they are not known.

Do you now the authors of the book I am quoting?

Did you read the Pali Dhammapada in English Language?

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

First, when! The exclamation mark is to denote screaming. Then I immediately remind myself that my disbelief is suspended. Besides, it must have occurred to one by now that what one is reading is not history but the writings in answer to the question how did all we observe around us come into being.

Still, and at least:

What is light?

What is darkness?

What is good?

How does one divide?

You are quoting the bereSHIT in the tanakh, if you sincerely need answers on the tanakh you’d go and meet the Jewish people to explain their BOOK for you in the original language. (god, genesis, light, darkness, good etc are all ENGLISH WORDS)



In yoruba mythology it was obatala that created humans and earth, it will be unwise for me to go and meet a jew or a roman to explain who is obatala and yoruba mythology.
