There are a lot of unanswered questions that no one ever seems to mention when they talk about God and Religion.
The way I think of it is...when God made the earth, God made animals first, a male and a female of each.
When God made man, he had to be asked by Adam to make a female companion.
Why would Adam have to ask for a companion when every other animal had one?
Ok, sooo...how did God know to make one animal of each sex and why would he only make one human animal as a male if he had no plans to make a female companion? (until asked by Adam, of course.)
If god conjured the other animals and Adam up from dust of the earth, why did it take one of Adam's ribs to make a woman? That, to me would make a woman special, since she is not made of dust, but from another human's rib.
If that is true, then wouldn't a woman's demise be something other than 'returning as dust to the earth, upon death' ?
This has me thinking that there had to have been a God and Goddess in the beginning.
When man wrote the Bible, was a Goddess omitted by men, so that women were made to feel less important?
How or why would just one being figure out that it needed a male and female of each animal to reproduce and have companionship, unless it had those very things for its self ?
The bible wasn't written by God and handed straight to us, it was interpreted and then written by man. Were the important things written with mans way of thinking and interpretations added in?
When my kids were really little, if I wanted to tell them a story but didn't have a book, and if I couldn't remember a story word for word or if a fairy tale and it had a horrible ending, I would improvise and make it the ending the way I wanted it to be.
Could the Bible possibly be the same thing?
Things that only seem to be word for word in the Bible are the words written in the New Testament in red ink. Those are the words that were spoken by Jesus Christ himself and those that wrote his words were ordered not to change them.
The New Testament replaces the Old Testament, making it obsolete. Kind of the same way an old rotary dial phone is compared to a smart phone today. It worked when it was needed but really hasn't got much use in the world today. Would that make the Old Testament obsolete?
If the information in it was updated with the New Testament , wouldn't it only make sense that the the Old was outdated and mostly useless?
