Bible Discussion Thread

I have translated various portions of the Bible, including Genesis from the Hebrew, and found that the many translations of it in print are far from accurate. The beginning of Genesis is not about the creation of the universe, it is about you, and how you can rise above the mortal condition. In this way a person has a choice, they can live and die upon the earth repeatedly or begin walking the Path to heaven. The Path is compassion for all the living, and heaven is a reward for service to heaven upon the earth. Having a belief in such a place will not do it, you must work at it. In response to a recent comment, the Divine Absolute is known by many names Brahma, the Universal, the Eternal, the Supreme Spirit pervading the universe and so on. Everything created has an end, and you can look around and easily discover that to be true. It can take a short time or a long time, but it will be the same. Everything is a manifestation of the Creator, however, Brahma is Uncreated, Unborn, and without beginning or end.
