Subject: What is the meaning of Verse 1? |
Bible Note: Kelos, To compare Mosses Ben Maimonides with Karl, Freud and Darwin, is something that doesn't make any sense. To qualify the inspiration of such a Saga, the way you do it, show me only two things: you are brighter and more inspired than him; or, you are a fool and an ignorant. I prefer to think the first. Many scholars use Maimonides writings as a reference, he made inferences about the earth being an sphere, much before Columbus; he interpreted Creation around de 1400 as being an explosion, the same way that modern physics says "it is the only way" (the Big Bang); he was very respected by Christians and in his days the Roman Catholic Church could not burn him, because he was so respected; his work is full of references to the Pentatheuc that can give us light in many more different subject. There is no a serious Bible student that doesn't know about him. I want to believe that you have read his "Guide for the Perplex", since you already compare him with Karl, Freud and Darwin. you could surprise the world with something better, and I think we all could benefit with your contribution. From your comments it shows it could be better and more inspired than his work. If you did not read him, it will be good to do it, so you can talk with more authority. I respect Mamom, if you know who he is, and I read many of the Jews, they have the advantage of the language and the Masoretic text, and beleive me, they are the people of God also, and many of them are also Christians. Let's do not make this difference of views a personal matter. If I there is nothing to say, the best alternative is to say nothing. Maybe we should try it. The peace of our Lord be with you. Oscar |
