A fiction writer has total control over all the characters in his writings, he dictates every and all of their thoughts and actions, characters inside a fictional book doesn’t have free will.
How can a fictional writer be jealous of his own created characters and writings?

Your ignorance make me laugh. I know what predates all this. You are always forming to know but know nothing. Yahweh, Jehovah, Jesus are names of lesser and impostor gods. I know all these and the true God who made all things. You are already conditioned to believe the little you know as the only truth but your igorance is huge. You this fool don't koow that it is not just by research or google. All your histories today are fool of corruption -half truth. It is by knowledge and it is given to only a few. Just rest. Your mumu go do one day

Your ignorance is irritating, very sad. Why can’t there be Creators? How did you arrive at one?
All what you know that predates you were gotten from a book. You know nothing except shouting “God”, even the meaning of the word you lack it.
“God” means idol, there is no where “god” means made all things.
You are already indoctrinated with “God” and can’t think beyond it.
Just like your creator you are empty, and have no use.
How can there be a lesser or impostor god, is it not the person that created everything that also created them? Ode
You this unfortunate thing that knows nothing except what you read in a book.
You know no truth whether half or full, except BELIEFS/OPINIONS.
Even in the bible it says seek knowledge how do you seek knowledge if you don’t research or you just believe whatever you are been told? Dullard just like your creator.
In 1 Thessalonians 5:21 it says but test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good.“
If you don’t RESEARCH and test everything that’s said(beliefs), how will you “know” what is good, rather than “believing” what is said(beliefs)
You lack knowledge on your beliefs, if you are not careful you’ll be a idol worshipper till you DIE!.
You are little, everything you think you know you don’t, i will lecture you and your creator!

Aja, Why are there not creators?
“God” means idol. It goes beyond “english people”, it’s of Germanic origin.
In hebrew “god” does not mean yahweh, if you research well it refers to yahweh dad, El.
“God” is a title not a person.

Kobojunkie:
I would like to suggest that rather than these clippings, which are opinions of others, you read the passages for yourself so you can gain invaluable understanding of your own.

What was the woman's request? She asked Jesus Christ to have mercy on her, and then she told Him her child was demon-possessed. The woman asked Him for mercy to which He responded that He was sent to show mercy only to the lost sheep of Israel.
We know Jesus Christ did not reserve healing only for the Israelites, since there are examples of Him healing Non-Israelites, including Gentiles (Israelites) before His encounter with the Canaanite woman — In Matthew 8 vs 5 - 13 we read of Jesus Christ healing the servant of the Centurion who came asking Him to heal His servant — so it is wrong to assume then that Jesus Christ simply didn't want to heal this woman because she was a Canaanite. Clearly, Jesus Christ's response to her was to reveal that the mercy/love of God which He had to give was only meant by the Father who sent Him for the lost sheep of Israel, exactly as Jesus Christ stated. And, again, Jesus Christ came to do the Will of the Father who sent Him and not His own will, so the statement is not of the will of Jesus Christ but of God's Truth.

The same Jesus Christ is recorded to have also stated the following in Matthew 7 during the sermon on the mount.
Clearly, that which is Holy is not meant for the dogs aka the Non-Israelites.

So, you have a decision to make here for yourself. Do you accept God's Truth or do you reject it thereby insisting that Jesus Christ much have prevaricated in that situation among several others?

Gospel of mattew was written predominantly for a Jewish community.
They even used “kingdom of heaven” instead of “kingdom of yahweh” as euphemism.

Christianity Etc › Re: What AFRICAN God Should I Worship, Please? I'm Tired Of Jesus. by Maynmann: 9:27pm On May 20, 2023

Kobojunkie:
Jesus Christ said He was sent only to the Lost sheep of Israel aka the Gentiles — Israelites who were cursed and scattered by God beginning almost 2500 years ago with the scattering of the Nation of Israel during the time of Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, and then concluding almost 2000 years ago with the scattering of those of the Nation of Judah during their occupation by the Romans. He is the good shepherd sent to gather the Lost sheep back to God in Jerusalem by way of God's Special Nation of Priests which He, God, made clear, He would build of His Israel. But it seems to me that you believe that Paul created a belief system that was contrary to that declared by God through His prophets and confirmed by Jesus Christ in His Gospels. You seem to be arguing that Paul set up a different kingdom run by himself to which he then called out, not Israelites, but those whom Jesus Christ considered dogs — non-Israelites from Matthew 15 vs 24 - 26 & Matthew 7 vs 6 — is this the case here?

What does “gentile” mean?

Christianity Etc › “Beginning" Vs. "First" In The Book Of Genesis. by Maynmann(op): 8:57pm On May 20, 2023*

The age of the Earth has been a subject of much debate and exploration throughout human history. While scientific evidence overwhelmingly supports an Earth that is approximately 4.5 billion years old, there are some individuals, known as Earth creationists, who assert that the planet is only 6000 years old. In this article, we will delve into the claim made by these creationists and examine it through the lens of the Tanakh, or the Old Testament, in order to gain a deeper understanding of their reasoning and explore alternative interpretations.

According to Earth Creationists…
https://answersingenesis.org/age-of-the-earth/how-old-is-the-earth/
“Genesis 1 says that the earth was created on the first day of creation. The age of the earth can be estimated by taking the first five days of creation (from earth’s creation to Adam), then following the genealogies from Adam to Abraham in Genesis 5 and 11, then adding in the time from Abraham to today.

Adam was created on day 6, so there were five days before him. If we add up the dates from Adam to Abraham, we get about 2,000 years, using the Masoretic Hebrew text of Genesis 5 and 11.
Whether Christian or secular, most scholars would agree that Abraham lived about 2,000 B.C. (4,000 years ago).

So a simple calculation is:
5 days
+ 2,000 years
+ 4,000 years
=6,000 years
At this point, the first five days are negligible”

Let’s not forget that this dating will also apply to Heaven as they were created at the same time and on the “first day” according to Young creationists, thus, Heaven is also 6000 years old, the “heaven” here is plural, The Hebrew word שָׁמַיִם (shamayim), translated as "heaven," is often associated with the visible sky, it describe the expanse above the earth where clouds, stars, and other celestial bodies are observed.

Investigating the claim.
Genesis 1:1 States that the heavens and the earth were created in the Beginning. Subsequent verses explain the further work done on the earth and heavens.
In Genesis 1:5, it says that "there was evening and there was morning, the First Day."
The separation of Light from Darkness marked the first day, with the evening and morning constituting the First Day.
This indicates that the creation of the heavens and earth predates the first day, with the establishment of light and darkness, which can be considered as the concept of time, occurring on the first day.

What makes a Day?

To define a day and night, we look at the rotation of a planet on its axis. On Earth, a day is approximately 24 hours.
However, different planets have varying day lengths. For example, Mercury takes 58 days and 15 hours, Venus takes 243 days, Mars takes 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35 seconds, Jupiter takes 9.9 hours, Saturn takes 10 hours, 45 minutes, and 45 seconds (approximated due to atmospheric density), and Uranus takes 17 hours, 14 minutes, and 24 seconds.

While some may argue that a Day in the Creation story is only defined based on Earth's 24-hour cycle, the creation account in Genesis includes the creation of the “heavens”, which encompasses other planets with varying day lengths.
Furthermore, evidence suggests that Earth has not always had a 24-hour day throughout its history.
According to planetary scientist Takanori Sasaki from Kyoto University, a day has not always been 24 hours long. The formation of the Earth and the Moon, 4.5 billion years ago, along with the Moon's influence on the planet, have caused significant variations in the length of a day and a month throughout Earth's history.

https://www.inverse.com/science/70-million-yo-clam-reveals-how-dinosaurs-days-unfolded-by-hour/amp

In our quest to unravel the intricacies of language, we often encounter words that share similar meanings. One such pair is "beginning" and "first." While they may seem interchangeable at first glance, a closer examination reveals subtle nuances that set them apart.
The term "Beginning" encapsulates the concept of initiation or commencement. It refers to the start or origin of something, emphasizing the initial stage or point in time when an event, process, or journey sets forth. The beginning represents the foundational moment from which subsequent developments arise.
In contrast, "First" refers to being the earliest or foremost in a sequence or order. It designates the initial item or occurrence within a series or timeline. While the "beginning" signifies the starting point, "First" denotes the earliest position or event that emerges from the Beginning.
It signifies a sense of priority or primacy, highlighting the significance of the initial element within a progression.
“Beginning" denotes the start or origin, "first" signifies the earliest or foremost within a series or order.

The creation days in Genesis 1 are more understandable if they are interpreted as a series or order of a process, rather than literal 24-hour days.

Conclusion: Attempting to calculate the Earth's age based on the genealogies in the Bible is not a reliable method.
The genealogies in the Bible are not meant to be a chronological history of the Earth. They are more likely a way of showing how different people are related to each other.

It is also important to remember that the word "day" in the Tanakh can have different meanings. It can refer to a literal 24-hour day, but it can also refer to a longer period of time.
For example, in Genesis 1:5, it says that "there was evening and there was morning, the first day."
This does not mean that the earth's day is 24 hours.
It simply means that there was a period of time when it was light and a period of time when it was dark.

Unmarried people fornicating, yet expecting their bf/gf to be faithful doesn't just make any sense.

The difference between a wife and a girlfriend is marriage certificate.
Marriage certificate will not make sex exclusive between married people, people will cheat regardless of the term you call them “wife” “spouse” “fiancée” “gf”.
A person that is faithful will be faithful regardless of marriage.
Calling someone “wife” doesn’t mean they won’t cheat.

Christianity Etc › Kingdom Of Heavens. by Maynmann(op): 12:51pm On May 19, 2023*

The usage of the phrase “kingdom of Heaven” is predominantly found in the Gospel of Matthew, which was written for a predominantly Jewish audience.
The New Testament contains the phrase "kingdom of God" in 68 instances across 10 different books. On the other hand, the phrase "kingdom of heaven" is mentioned 32 times, exclusively found within the Gospel of Matthew.
It is believed that the author of Matthew used this phrase as a way to respect the Jewish tradition of not speaking or writing the name of God(Yahweh) directly. In this context, “heaven” is understood to represent yahweh himself rather than a specific location or place.

When we delve into the original language New Testament was written in, we find that the Greek word for “kingdom,” βασιλεία (basileia), carries a broader range of meanings compared to the English word “Kingdom”.
Derived from Baotλɛúç (basileus), meaning "king," the emphasis is on the royal reign and authority of the king rather than the geographical territory over which he rules. A more accurate translation might be "Kingship," highlighting the person of the king and his dominion.

Subsequently, the word "heaven" is frequently used in the Biblical text to refer to the "sky." It is often mentioned alongside the word (erets), which translates to "land" or "earth" in English.
This pairing of "heaven" and "earth" can be seen in passages such as Genesis 1:1, 2:1 and 14:19.
The usage of "heaven” to represent the sky aligns with its literal meaning. The Hebrew word שָׁמַיִם (shamayim), translated as "heaven," is often associated with the visible sky, the celestial vault, or the atmospheric realm. It is used to describe the expanse above the earth where clouds, stars, and other celestial bodies are observed.
The term "heaven" carries the connotation of the sky or celestial realm, aligning with its literal meaning in Hebrew.

In these instances, the combination of "heaven" and "earth" represents the entirety of creation and the domain of Yahweh. It encompasses both the celestial realm (heaven/sky) and the terrestrial realm (earth). This usage reflects the ancient understanding of the universe, where the sky or heavens were seen as a separate expanse above the earth.

Also, in English, the term "heaven" derived from the Old English heofon, primarily refers to the sky rather than the eternal dwelling place of A God(Yahweh). Similarly, the Greek word oupavóc (ouranos), translated as "heaven," in New Testament literally means "the sky."
In the Gospels, the plural usage of ouranos, meaning “skies,” is employed. This plural form emphasizes the universal nature of what is being discussed. One might more aptly refer to it as the "Kingdom of the Heavens."

Throughout the Bible, the word "heaven" is often used to describe the sky, the dwelling place of celestial bodies, and the atmospheric realm.

The contrast between the "kingdom of the heavens" and every other earthly kingdom is noteworthy. While the earth has limits and boundaries, the skies are limitless and boundless. Thus, a kingship of the skies underscores the universal and all- encompassing nature of a Deity's reign, symbolizing the limitless rule of a Monotheistic God.
it highlight the expansive and universal nature of a Deity's reign. The emphasis on the skies or heavens in the plural form reinforces the idea of Deity's rule transcending earthly limitations.

Another significant metaphor for Yahweh dwelling place in the Bible is “Paradise”, it will be discussed in another post.
