Genesis 1.8 - Anthropology

http://www.drdavidneiman.com.

The first chapters of the Bible contains a theory of anthropology which is markedly different from the theories of other cultures of the period. The Bible states that humans are animals with a unique intelligence. And all humans in the world derive from one source. We are all one family.

Dr. David Neiman (1921-2004) was an internationally renowned scholar, speaker, and writer who inspired many people. His life's work concerned the intricate relations between Christianity, Islam, and Judaism throughout history and in modern times. Dr. Neiman made history come alive through his dramatic presentations and unique interpretations. In light of our current world situation, Dr. Neiman's work is not only extremely relevant but also remarkably prescient. More than anything, Dr. Neiman was a keen observer of the human condition. His words convey our shared history with clarity, humor, and humanity.

Dr. Neiman was the first Jewish scholar appointed to teach Religion at Boston College, one of America's leading Catholic Universities. He served as Professor in the Department of Theology for a quarter of a century. While there he was also invited to teach at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. After retiring from Boston College, Dr.Neiman moved to Los Angeles, where he taught at Loyola Marymount University, St. John' s Seminary in Camarillo and the University of Judaism in Bel Air.

God is perfect, & infallible, He does not make mistakes. It would be a good idea to first study the words: Elohim and Eloah. An Elohim can be an ANGEL. Elohim is plural. Eloah is singular. A number of Eloah form an Elohim. These Elohim are not the real God, but act like God, because He has given them that authority and because God Almighty has given them that authority they are God. In Gen 1, why did God have to see (saw) if He is infallible? Because it was an Elohim and not the true God

Dr Neiman was a rabbi and he had great scientific mind too, as shows his answer in the beginning of this part. Great man!

[jonsi317]

god said he made a mistake when he 'realised' what humans are???

so he didn't actually know what he was making in the first place?

all knowing? all powerful?

balling up some mud, breathing life into it and hoping for the best but when a human emerges he says "oh shit...oops...now i'm deprssed...what a mistake that was'
