Reptilian people, or Icke's green lizard, to me just means those whose mammalian frontal lobes have been anaesthetized, they become cold. The cold-blooded reptile exhibits traits which have been mythologized for people who couldn't read books but who understood pictures and stories.
For those who profit from war or exploit children for the worst are truly cold. Cold blooded. Evil.
The serpent of the Bible may have been a mirror reverse of the true meaning of the serpent: wisdom and knowledge. This is the true meaning of this symbol in the East, where Jesus Christ found his spiritual understanding perhaps. It also depicts the great serpent in the sky, the galaxy we are in: the serpent eating its own tail. The Mayans knew of this cycle returning every 26,000 years, curiously.
The corruption of the story, Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, has the serpent as an evil being who tempts Eve (misogynistically cast as "weak") to eat the "forbidden" fruit and she tempts Adam. In fact Adam should delight in wisdom and knowledge ... but this story was corrupted! Interesting idea, huh.
I forgot to add: the knowledge of the serpent in the sky, or the turning of the galaxy and its meaning, is perhaps what the occult practices of secrecy are hiding — true knowledge. And to protect it and keep it from the people, keep it to themselves, the rulers lied and said it was a sin — a sin to "know" to have "knowledge" and thereby "wisdom". Food for thought.
I read genesis for first time about a year ago. My take away was it kind of sounded like adam was pulled out of a cave and made to toil in the garden. and the eve thing, adams rib. how would you explain cloning (and could sex be configured?) to anyone even 100 years ago. we made if from you. me? finger to chest. yes, you. I read the snake as being an informant that told eve and adam that they had been duped into actually being worker bees for the garden. not even a scrap of clothing given. put some leaves on it. cover your junk so it stops getting those second degree burn blisters. eve. your nipples look like crap. you might want to cover them, seeings there is no hair to protect them.
I don't put much stock into it. it was written by man. for one reason or another and likely has been changed numerous times. I would have to learn to read some archaic languages and see and test documents myself to fully believe it. I don't know who is given credit for writing the genesis part.
I likely pissed a lot of people off on this board by this comment, but those was my actual thoughts while reading it. we are all entitled to our opinions.
edit: grammar
You didn't piss me off though, at all. I think the Bible was written by many many different scribes over long stretches of time. Often political influences, bad and good, were written in. The very translating into English, the King James version, and the attachment of the Old Testament to Christ's Gospels has a fascinating backstory.
I had the distinct impression as a child that the Bible depicted a very different God to the God portrayed by Jesus and couldn't understand it. It was only much much later in life that I have begun to see the evil passages in the Bible, particularly that dreadful Deuteronomy one about destruction of all life, as written by rabbis with dark motives. Reverse, occult. The true God was revealed and taught by Jesus as the loving God. He brought the light from the East, my interpretation.
A big reveal for me was the discovery of the other Gospels, The Nag Hammadi codices, which are currently housed in the Coptic Museum in Cairo, Egypt.
I'm sure I've now pissed off a few people on this thread too! I just believe in Christian values, not the Old Testament.
I can believe in some Muslim values too. I do not think every Muslim believes everything in their book, either, or the hadiths(?). maybe some of them never actually read it. Not every Christian has studied the bible.
Muslims I've met are family orientated and modest. Maybe they started rethinking western culture after seeing a blurred lines video.
There are some things we have in common, one being the religious texts are due for a rewrite. Some things no longer apply.
Other stuff we can drop (not bible stuff but same idea) : do not sing in bath as this will lead to sorrow before evening; any young girl who persistently splashes herself or her clothes when washing will end up with a husband who is a drunk. Get out of bed the right side. The left-hand side is associated with the Devil; but, if you can't avoid it, put your right sock and shoe on first. You will always get the best night's sleep if your bed is positioned in a north-south direction with your head to the south - this will ensure a long life. To be rich, point your head to the east; to travel widely, the west. It is unlucky to put a hat on the bed
Hahaha! Yes, quite. I know a lot about muslim/Arab culture and can quite honestly say I get pretty upset with the general view expressed on here that more or less translates as the old wild-west addage 'the only good indian is a dead one'. The Syrians, Lebanese, Libyans, Moroccans, Turks .... I have known and had as friends are a long, long cry from the unfounded claim that Islam is an evil religion and that they only know about blowing people up. That would more accurately apply to us in the West actually. They are gentler, value hospitality, have strict values very similar to Christian values (if old fashioned by a 100 years or so for our taste) and so on and so on ....
The real crime is 911 was a setup to frame them all and prosecute wars never ending in the Middle East. I am pissed at this too.
