Biblical Hebrew Forum

[Hedrick Gary <GaryH AT cjfm.org>]

"Wild" is an apt description for some of these discussions.

Nonetheless, wild or not, as long as the discussion is about terms found in the text of the Hebrew Bible, their usages and definitions, and the possible implications of those definitions for our understanding of the text, it may well fall within the boundaries of the B-Hebrew guidelines.

It's unavoidable that some of these Hebrew terms evoke "theological ideas" in the minds of readers.

Just my two cents.

Hello List.
Below is a set of communication between Ishnian, Rolf, and George wherein we find  "There is one exception, though. The creation by God is a metaphysical proposition, and metaphysics is a priori excluded in a scientific explanation. If theologicans follow this stirct scientific principle, the creation must be viewed as mythological before we start examining it." The creation by "God" need not be thought of as "mythological" if the word "God" is defined as "The source of all forces powers and strengths" The word god can also mean an individual power (ELOAH, ELAH, EL, etc.) or a group of powers (ELOHIM, ELIM, etc) or the ONE force source of all powers (ELOHIM) or the one power(EL, ELAH etc...)
