Intelligent design (Introduction)

David: "But in my Hebrew Encyclopedia Elohim is meant to mean 'God', as I described. Christians are still messing with and misinterpreting our language! :>))"

Language is like life: it evolves. French, Italien, Portuguese and Spanish are all considered "Romance" languages, that is, they were derived from the language of Rome which was Latin. Long after Latin died as a spoken language, the Catholic Church still used it exclusively to teach though it was no longer understood by local peoples. Apparently the Catholics felt this "tradition" was more important than being comprehended or they wouldn't have killed those who disagreed. Of course, the Catholics also believed that ignorant villagers were evil by nature, thus the word villain.

Jesus would never consider teaching in a language that his pupils did not understand. He even taught in parables so that he could be understood easily. Though Jesus knew Hebrew, he spoke in the language of the people, and that language was Aramaic.

David: " The word "Elohim" in Hebrew is the common name of God. I don't understand your usage. With your described background, you should speak Hebrew."

My memories of previous lives consists of images and the emotions associated with those memories. Some of my memories are associated with the many painful ways that I was killed by mobs of jeering "noble" intelligent human beings. Many others are just memories of how I was murdered or executed by other such "noble" beasts.

I sincerely hope that humanity may preserve its' childhood beliefs about its' "nobility" and that anarchy does not ever dispel its' delusions. Then amid the riots, the murders, the robberies, the rapes and the wars, a few people might have to actually lift the burdens of understanding that they discarded because of a desire to believe alone. Only then, will they realize what their creators have known for aeons: you can take a man out of the jungle much more easily than you can take the jungle out of a man.
