Taking things realistically my Lord, the word adam (in Hebrew) means persons or beings. As it is written "Yahweh Elohim formed adam (humankind) from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and adam became a living soul. Yahweh Elohim planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man (person or persons) whom he had formed." Therefore, as I said, I trace my ancestry back to adam - humankind. Actually adam (man) was our second creation. Many that seek do question the plural word for the name of the Creator. The truth is that the One God is not an entity separate from anyone or anything; all existence is within this *collective* God, which of course reflects the pluralism of "Let us make man in OUR IMAGE under OUR OWN LIKENESS." Hence, Elohim is the infinite, eternal womb of consciousness within which all life was conceived, the mind of God so to speak. Therefore, the first creation was the spirit, the second humankind (body & mind) and the third creation separates, ishah and ish (male and female).

My brother, you are gravely mitstaken if you believe the spirit is a "dead" thing when in fact the spirit is truly life; livity.

I use the word OVERSTAND because I stand under nothing. And it has nothing to do with York or any other thing that resembles pork.

Yes indeed my Lord, metaphors, similies and parables run rampid through the bible. It's the Creator's way of testing us. He tests us each and everyday in our daily trials and tribulations so why would he not test us in the Ible as well. A chapter a day keeps Satan away. Deciphering, analyzing and interpreting these parables provides us with analytical skills, reasoning and wisdom to apply to our daily lives. With this comes strength and faith and ultimately righteousness. These three qualities will surely assist us in conquering the ever present Satan.

Yes I, the light of Truth shall burn bright and spark fiyah to ignorance.

Jah live, Jah rule,
