The First Time Adam met the Snake/Serpent and the Destiny of Mankind


Let’s begin by looking at key points of the original version of the ancient story.

And the snake/serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field
which Yahweh the god had made.
(Genesis 3:1)

● In the First Story animals were made before the First ADAM by the unnamed Creator. The First ADAM is a man and woman.  

● In the Second Story, the Second ADAM was formed by Yahweh the god before animals were made. The Second ADAM is a man without a mate.

And Yahweh the god said,
It is not good that the man should be alone;
I will make him a helper comparable to him.”
Out of the ground Yahweh the god formed every beast of the field
and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man
to see what he would name them
and whatever the man named each living creature -- that was its name.
(Genesis 2:18-19)

The snake/serpent is a beast of the field that Yahweh made and brought to the man.

That was the first time the man and the snake/serpent met!

Why did they lay their coats at Saul's feet?

The witnesses, laying their coats at the feet of Saul, were the men that would cast the first stones at Stephen in Acts 7. Why did they all lay their coats at Saul’s feet? The Talmud contains a very interesting account of the act of stoning that may provide the answer. “When the trial was over, they take him [the condemned person] out to be stoned. The place of stoning was at a distance from the court, as it is said, ‘Take out the one who has cursed.’ [i] A man stands at the entrance of the court; in his hand is a signaling flag [Hebrew   sudarin = sudar , ‘scarf, sweater’]. A horseman was stationed far away but within sight of him. If one [of the judges] says, ‘I have something [more] to say in his favor,’ he [the signaler] waves the   sudarin , and the horseman runs and stops them [from stoning him]. Even if [the condemned person] himself says, ‘I have something to say in my favor,’ they bring him back, even four of five times, only provided that there is some substance to...

The Moment the Humans Created Shame in the Garden in Eden

For readers of most English translations, this is a story about two naked people who didn’t know they were naked until they ate the forbidden fruit . The reason God told them to not eat that fruit was because he didn’t want them to know they were naked or he was testing their obedience to him . As I pointed out in earlier emails, the serpent wasn’t Satan and this was not a battle between God and Satan over the souls of all people who will ever live. So what did the original author of the story want his readers to learn? Continue to read at - https://mailchi.mp/3e270c10e81d/the-moment-the-humans-created-shame-in-the-garden-in-eden

The Parable of the Lost Coin

The Parable of the Lost Coin is found in Luke 15.8-10. Or what woman, having ten drachmas, if she would lose one drachma, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek resolutely until she finds? Our previous study was about a man that owned 100 sheep, not a poor shepherd. This parable is about a woman who has ten drachmas (silver coins) – she is by no means a marginal, outcast, or poor woman . She’s not only relatively well-off, she has a house. Luke 15 confirms what we know from other sources: women in Judea have access to their own funds – they are hardly the poorest of the poor . All four Gospels , in various ways, describe interactions Yeshua, the Jewish Jesus , had with women. So, a parable about a woman would have appealed to his female followers.
