The first verse of the Bible contains:

[Onoma]

A.} The formula for the volume of a 4 sided pyramid
B.} The " seven seals " of the Book of Revelation
C.} Proof that ancient societies knew Pi to a degree of accuracy far above what academia acknowledges
D.} The answer to the mystery of the numbers 666 and 144,000
E.} The answer to the identity of the " Man of Sin "
F. } Proof of the identity of Jesus Christ
G.} Proof the Bible is divine
H.} The key to the secret of the New Jerusalem
I. } The key to explaining the base 60 system of Mesopotamian metrology the Bible is based on
J .} None of the above
K.} All that and more

 

[EtuMalku]

Since we have no idea which bible you are speaking of . . . it is impossible to answer

 

[Ouroboros]

I'm interested in how C. could even be considered. How does Pi come out of the first verse in Genesis?

 

[Nietzsche]

First; what?

Second; why does your signature contain the coats of arms' for Hanover(white horse on a red field) and what looks to be the arms of Saint-Barthélemy(the other end, it isn't perfect but it's what comes to mind)?

Yup. Take your pick.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

In the beginning God (Elohim) created [by forming from nothing] the heavens and the earth.

God created the sky and the earth. At first,

In the beginning, when God created the universe,

When God began creating the heavens and the earth,

First this: God created the Heavens and Earth—all you see, all you don’t see. Earth was a soup of nothingness, a bottomless emptiness, an inky blackness. God’s Spirit brooded like a bird above the watery abyss

In the beginning Elohim created heaven and earth.

In the beginning God made from nothing the heavens and the earth.

In the beginning Elohim created hashomayim (the heavens, Himel) and haaretz (the earth)

In the beginning, God created everything: the heavens above and the earth below. Here’s what happened:

In the beginning of God's preparing the heavens and the earth --

[Jabar]

G is out of the Question.

If you are referring to the numerology as to try and upgrade the Bible it is not very impressive of you.

I don't think I have the will power to even entertain these claims.

I don't think I have the will power to even entertain these claims.

I don't even have the want power.

[Subhankar Zac]

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
But to some, the original translation is:
In the beginning, The GODS created the SKIES and the earth.

 

[Ouroboros]

Option R.

R for right, boyah.

 

[Tumah]

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
But to some, the original translation is:
In the beginning, The GODS created the SKIES and the earth.

That would be a pretty poor translation as the second word in the verse (ברא) is in third person masculine singular (he created).
Also, see 1:8

I m talking about the Hebrew word ELOHIM that means MANY GODS and few others say a female GODDESS.
The Hebrew word SHAMAYIM according to many translated to SKY, since the word heaven didn't exist back then.

 

[Faronator]

What......

 

[Riverwolf]

I m talking about the Hebrew word ELOHIM that means MANY GODS and few others say a female GODDESS.

I'm pretty sure I heard something about the use of the word "Elohim" here being more a case of a plural being used to signify authority. Similar to how English monarchs would sometimes refer to themselves as "we."

The Hebrew word SHAMAYIM according to many translated to SKY, since the word heaven didn't exist back then.

...well, technically, neither did the word "sky".

The word "heaven" in Old English (so more properly heofon) actually did mean "the sky", which itself originally came from an Old Norse word that meant "clouds".

That's one explanation For it.

 

[Skwim]

There are other bibles than the Christian one . . .

Of course, but around here, and most other places, when someone capitalizes "bible," as Onoma does in his title, everyone takes it to mean the Christian Bible.

I don't think that this is actually a 'refutation', or argument against the /plurality interpretation. /the 'we', as in more than one being,,
The idea you are presenting, is often presented without other context that would help explain the plural nature of the verses, as well.
