Banned From The Bible II - The History Channel 03 of 12

[crucisnh]

An interesting thing to note about the story of Lilith saying the holy name of God and gaining great power is that this is very similar to other mythological stories where knowing/speaking the true name of a god gave one great power. For example, the Egyptian goddess Isis learning the true name of the god Ra and thereby gaining great power.

[emman1185]

These sound like bad fairy tales

[MorinaLucine]

Lillith is a great symbol for women. they did not want women to think they were equal to men and destroyed any thought of it by portraying her as a "demon".  Terrible. Women are Equal to men, Men (not all men, I dont hate men, using it as a general term) had a problem with it because they are power hungry and only wished to dominate.

You are all fools. You can't possibly prove or disprove anything. Don't even say you can. Believe in God or not, it's that simple. Don't become an ass and try to apply your rotten comment to everyone else.

[Rajrodriguez26]

Oh who cares! The Quaran, and the hebrew bible are both good reads so why don't everyone just chill place you pride elsewhere and engage in this awesome wealth of knowledge from this cast of prominent theologians... Love love love this series

[edwardschlosser1]

Mankind made up dieties in his superstitions to explain the natural world before education and science began to explain the natural world through reason. All religions/superstitions are just foolish vestiges of our ignorant, primative past.

[WolfEyesatNight]

@edwardschlosser1

Don't call foolish what you don't understand, you're a divided being,

filled with conflict, victim of pain and sorrow.

"You think you know who you are", but, you're not.

find out who you are first,

then decide how to use your failed intelligence.

peace.

[MorinaLucine]

@edwardschlosser1 No use explaining it to christians or catholics, they've been brainwashed and are ignorant.

[WordsofHarmony]

the desert religions are all is a sexist, murderous, fear mongering, and lies. We need to lay waste to religion, for the sake of man kind

[tweethang1]

@ChristianScholarship coming from the mouth of a christian. Personelly I don't believe in the bible.

[Partytime60]

Dude Bible is so massed up, I'm happy that i'm a muslim and believe in Quran because Quran is not corrupted and we Muslim don't have to give ourself headache to know what is the truth about the prophets and the God.

[tweethang1]

@Partytime60 Yeah I know. Im a wiccan myself. And at least the Quran hasn't been tampared with. The bible has been re written so many times is rediculous

[godisgreat82ify]

@tweethang Maybe the reason is because people simply misinterpret it. Is it then kind of odd that i read only from the KJV bible, and use nothing else, except as a reference?

[tweethang1]

@godisgreat82ify Maybe. But I don't believe in the excistance of god or gods. It's stupid. I believe religion is a tool to control people through the thought of a all powerful being. My ancestors barely escaped the inquisition. I hate religion. It kills people. And yes the people of the inquisition where christians

[edxx7]

@Partytime60 i live in Baja mexico i would like to read the Quran in spanish where can i get one??? im evangelical christian but i would like to learn more

[MichaelJethroGibbs]

@edxx7 the Quran is only in Arabic. They have never made a replica in any other language so important things cant get lost over time.

[TheNightWriter101]

@MichaelJethroGibbs bullshit you can buy a quran in any language on earth from any bookstore in any country on the planet.

[ThePaxTube]

@MichaelJethroGibbs Is that why Uthman burned the copies in the beginning of the Caliphate? Or why Sahih Bukhari even said there were other versions?

[BasitRoy]

@ThePaxTube The so called other copies of the Quran had the same text as the present Quran. The Holy Quran was revealed in Arabic, in the DIALECT of QURAISH. The Arabs understood the Dialect and how to pronounce and recite the words correctly as it was their language.

However, as Islam spread. to other nations and the Non-Arab, who had no understanding of the Arabic language and DIALECT, they started to recite and pronounce the words differently.

[BasitRoy]

@ThePaxTube Caliph Usman resolved this issue by issuing standardized copies of The Quran with vowel points. This was to ensure that the Quran was recited and pronounced correctly in the original Dialect it was revealed in, the dialect of Quraish.

All the other copies, which were without the vowel points were collected and burned. This was to prevent the variant reading. The text was and is to this day the same.

[BasitRoy]

@ThePaxTube The Hadis makes a reference to these COPIES (the ones without the vowel points, which were burned) not VERSIONS. There was and is only ONE QURAN. Unlike the bible with its different number of books and different VERSIONS.

We still have the original and first copy of the Quran (at the Topkapi Museum in Istanbul),which none of the other faiths have.

[kmichael212]

@Partytime60 At least muslims don't worship human beings like Jesus.Once people start worshipping humans,it makes them a cult by definition.I enjoy the gnostic gospels found in the middle east

[WordsofHarmony]

@kmichael212 the big three religions are all crippling beliefs that are connected to primitive people and the mindset from those times allow the masses to be controlled and negatively effect human progress. none of them are any better than the other.
