Pre-Adamites 2

I just am remembering that I first got hooked on the Bible via Murray's teachings on things like pre-Adamites, and it was during the time that I'd graduated from B Influence to the Work and had pretty good discernment for such things, so... So there is something in all that. I can just also see how the mainstream orthodox theologians see it, but there are these areas that are still open, and increase understanding when you know them. It's also interesting that early Calvinist theologians debated the pre-Adamite thing. The problem for them is it leads to racial things like the 12 Tribes being the various Europeans groups (Celt, Saxon, etc., etc.), and that is a field of mud historically, even though there is ALOT there even when approached soberly.

Of course, the mystery spoken of in the New Testament is that Gentiles are included and can become spiritual Israel. I say that knowing it's obvious, but it has to be stated when venturing into this subject area.

Then there is the whole spritual side regarding pre-existence of souls, angelic beings, connections to mythology and mythological beings, etc.

This is where I come in, being an ocean nymph.

We had to be born into human bodies to proceed to the Kingdom of God. Not fun, but mandatory. Born into recurrence. All that. And totally dumb, like everybody. Dumb regarding the wisdom of God. Fighting the flesh all the way. Including mental obstacles. All given to us to get into the spiritual realm in a real way.

After the Son of God died on the cross the old world ended. A goat-like god was left to announce the bad news.

Symbolic.

He probably was a medieval monk, later on. God knows where he is now.

Killing off the old man. Vanity, worldly pride, rebellious self-will. Developing faith, repentance, and descent-of-the-dove God's will.

The Holy Spirit is a great God. HE IS GOD JEHOVAH. In the great mystery of the Triune God. To learn from the Holy Spirit is a great thing. A great mystery.
