The idea of Lilith, originaly, started out as a Mesopotamian "night" demon. Lilith has been associated with many things, from Vampires to Succubus (supposed fallen female angels), and everything else in between. She may have also been related to the Storm demon, the Akkadians had. Now the belief that Lilith was Adam's first wife, was created later in the Medievil times. It was circled in many occult circles. Basically, the idea is that Lilith was created as the Original counterpart to Adam, at the same time Adam was formed. She, however, would not submit to being in submission to Adam. So she was cast out, and then Eve was created (who also was attributed to the fall of man, which symbolically Eve represents man's emotions. It is usually our emotions which get us in trouble, keep us attached to temptation.). I'm sure there is some metaphysical-- gnostic symbolism in this parable. All of these stories, teachings, and verses in the Bible, the Gnostic Bible and such are meant to teach something beyond; the Spiritual truth. So, taking them literal would not be suggested. \n\nAnother thought about Lilith, that was "new" to me because I had never really thought about it, was in reading Sylvia Browne. She claimed that Lilith was the Queen of the Faeries. Whether you believe in Faeries is up to you. In many stories about Faeries, Titania and Oberon were always said to be the Queen and King of the Fae. On this matter I am not really sure, so I leave myself open to it either way. Even in what Sylvia has "channeled" there is much to be interpreted and looked into... when we look to find the practical and Metaphysical (beyond the physical) meanings of the Novus Spiritus teaching. \n\nSo, I would say that you pretty much can research Lilith and find a lot of varied beliefs, like a lot of things, and in the end just go with your intuitive senses about it. I posted a picture along with this text, which is a painting of Lilith and the snake. To most Christians the snake represents the Devil in the Garden of Eden-- ofcourse to many gnostics the snake represents Wisdom and in some other spiritual traditions the snake is a sign of strength, rebirth, and masculine energy. Everything is a matter of how you perceive it. I think there is a lot to learn from this "myth" of Lilith as being the first wife of Adam. It is a parable after all.

Nice book. (If you’re a sadist)\n\n\n(edit)\nWhy would the old testament be in the book if this god decided to change his cruel, voilent and hatefull ways. Then you shouldn't present the old testament to me. If I tell you "Hey man, here is the word or GOD, the creator of all the universe! He is all-knowing, all-powerful and all-present!!!! ..But why then is there a part in his word that doesn't apply to our time?? I thought he is all-present which would mean his word will be timeless.

I absolutely Love it, and that Leland is a cutie!!I find it so interesting that they pray and then curse all in the same show. How twisted is that?

It seems like a pretty sound program to me. They use God's law to show people their sin and need for salvation and then point to Christ as the solution. It's very biblically based. Now, as for other TBN programs.....some are very questionable.

I thought the first OMEN was good. Most of the\n remakes are not as good as the original. Did you\n think it was better,worst or the same ?

Wow, that's interesting. Yeah, I think the symbolism can be read that way, since 'sin' is a word that means deviation from the norm or target.

I haven't seen it, but I think people should cool it. Its not like NBC is saying "Watch the show and thy will be converted to Satanism." It has nothing to do with religion. That is just a basais for the show. The main character is still a man of faith, and he believes in his faith, so you can't say he is a "BAD MAN."

I had to go back and reread the poem to remember it in particular from my high school Lit Class (5 years...  sheesh!).  Anyway, its main theme is basically as everyone has said- a warning that even mankind's greatest works shall eventually crumble to dust.\n\nWithin Temptation does a song on their Mother Earth CD entitled "Never-ending Story" that sums up the main point of Ozymandias nicely with the lyrics, "We'll all be forgotten  |  There's no endless fame".\n\nHowever, we can go into a bit more depth about the secondary themes of hope and rebirth.  In lines 10 through 14, Ozymandias reads as such:\n"'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:\nLook on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'   \nNothing beside remains: round the decay   \nOf that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,   \nThe lone and level sands stretch far away."\n\nThese lines serve to anchor the somewhat depressing mood, but give infinite hope as well.  Even though King Ozymandias is telling us to despair, for all we do will eventually disappear, he is also telling us to look upon his works as they are in the here and now.\n\nThe boundless sea of sand that was once his great kingdom may seem like it has been destroyed, but in fact Ozymandias has *created* it as his buildings and monuments have crumbled.  Essentially, the poem is commenting that nothing mankind can build will last- but as those things are annihilated they create the soil, and in turn the plants and stone, that generations down the road will use to build their own monuments.  Even though we may die and rot in the present, we are immortal as part of the life cycle that is always recycling into the next incarnation of life.  Who knows, when we eventually croak, we might all come back as daisies!

Isn't it curious that our understanding of good and bad are meant to originate in Adam and Eve's great 'sin'? That the 'sin' they committed was wanting to learn about their surroundings instead of just blindly saying 'my Father told me not to touch it, so ı won't touch it'?\n\nIn normal life, we call that growing up. We call it learning for yourself. And it's humanity's greatest single trait.\n\nIf it was the devil, in the form of a snake, that convinced Adam and Eve to open their eyes and question their surroundings, and if it was God who arbitrarily said 'look but don't touch', here is my question:\n\nWhich one of them should we give praise to?

A "sin" is ANY transgression AGAINST The Law, or the Ten Commandments, as it is written. The first three Laws are for God and the remaining seven Laws are for Man...\n\nThe so-called "Seven Deadly Sins" is an invention or fabrication of the RCC since they are not found as such in the Bible. However, for the most part, they do pertain only to the sins against Man, or are temporal in nature.\n\nHave you noticed that the list  you mention does not include sins of idolatry, blasphemy or not consecrating the Sabbath [the seventh day]??\n\nHere's a test: Compare the entries of Exodus 20:1-17 between a Catholic Bible and a KJV Bible; and further, compare it to the Ten Commandments as professed by the RCC in their Catechism books. You will see certain differences between them... But I digress.\n\nTo answer your question, Jesus died for ALL the sins of every repentant sinner who begs for forgiveness and vows to sin no more... as it is written. CAVEAT: Of course, when you sin again then all bets are off!\n\nPeace be with you.

Actually the 7 Deadly sins are:\n1 Lust \n2 Gluttony \n3 Greed/Avarice  \n4 Laziness/Sloth \n5 Wrath \n6 Envy \n7 Pride\n\nWho told you that killing was one of them???\n\nAlso... Wedding Singer, there is nowhere in the Bible where a woman is admonished for laying with another woman. It is the spilling of a man's seed into/onto anything, anywhere other than the womb that is the sin. What the Bible refers to as an abomination is the fact that a man with another man is using his seed in a way which God didn't intend. Check out Onan's admonishment in the Old Testement\nA man loving, or kissing another man is perfectly acceptable and the Bible gives many references of male love. \nDidn't Judas kiss Jesus??? I didn;t hear any mention of Jesus calling him gay. It was acceptable.

The seven deadly sins, also known as the capital vices or cardinal sins, are a classification of vices used in early Christian teachings to educate and protect followers from basic human insticts. The church divided sin into two types: venial (forgiven without the need for the sacrament of Confession) and capital (meriting damnation). Beginning in the early 14th-century, the popularity of the 7 deadly sins with artists of the time engrained them in human culture around the world. The generally accepted deadly sins are superbia (pride), avaritia (greed), luxuria (luxury, later lust), invidia (envy), gula (gluttony), ira (anger), and acedia (sloth). \n\nHistory\nIn the 5th-century, A.D., Evagrius of Pontus (349-399), a Greek theologian, introduced the concept of eight offenses and passions that a human could fall victim to while on earth. They were the result of an abnormal obsession with self. The cure for each of these was an adoption of selfless attitudes towards the world.\n\nIn the later part of the 6th-century A.D., St. Gregory the Great (d. 604) in his work Moralia in Job, introduced the seven deadly sins. The goal of the seven deadly sins was to illustrate for laypersons of the church the need to be mindful of capital sin, or sin which requires penance in Hell. Capital sin is graver than venial sin, which can be forgiven through confession.\n\nPope Gregory's list was different from today and ranking of the Sins' seriousness was based on the degree from which they offended against love. From least serious to most, they were: lust, gluttony, sadness, avarice, anger, envy, and pride. Sadness would later be replaced by acedia (sloth), putting off or failing to do what God asks of you.\n\nIn the official Catechism of the Catholic Church, consisting of 2,865 numbered sections and first published in 1992 by order of Pope John Paul II, the seven deadly sins are dealt with in one paragraph. The principal codification of moral transgression for Christians continues to be the Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes, which are a positive statement of morality and part of the Sermon on the Mount.\n\nLater iconography of the Sins was derived from the descriptions of battles between the Virtues and Vices in the Psychomachia, a poem by 4th-century poet Prudentius.

The 7 deadly sins are a man made construction. Every sin is deadly if it hasn't been paid for by faith in the blood of Christ. However, if you want to find a list of 7 sins in the Bible, not the man made one, here it is.\n\nProverbs 6:16  There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to him:  (17)  haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,  (18)  a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil,  (19)  a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.

And the war over slavery was bloody.  how is this god the same yesterday, today and forever?\n\nslavery is not condemned as hellish, it says,\n\n" do not become slaves of men " and then " slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. "\n\nand how does that work out for you?  submitting to the harsh?\n\nUD:\n\nahc24- you are mad!

I think it's pretty good.  There's definitely good description, even though I don't really follow the story.  That's is probably because I didn't read the part before it.  Maybe you want to put the entire thing on here so it is easier to get revisions.  Good luck!
