22:28

Levi kicks off our dialogue working to wrap his mind around our past discussions. Was the eating of the fruit of knowledge of good and evil the activator of resulting effects?

5y ago26:47

26:47

Continuing from our last talk, we begin with the serpent’s claim and the tendency to identify it as temptation. By assigning an evaluation, we miss the intention, which is the dispersal of information. Therefore we can better grasp that knowledge was not derived through the eating of the fruit, rather the tree not to be eaten was a catalyst for del…

20:58

We start out by expounding on the original picture of creation. The tendency to focus on the secondary segment of the picture is highlighted. The notion that the serpent’s intention was to deceive and tempt is in actuality an evaluation, an appraisal, and result in important pieces missing. So then before an evaluation is determined, what was the i…

5y ago25:47

25:47

Our conversations begin with exploring possible causes for not believing in God. One such cause is that God is a myth, which we proceed to delve into the notion of myths and mythology. Perhaps the notion is of myth can be traced all the way back to the garden of Eden and the philosophies espoused at the event. Then man expounded on “myth” with stor…

5y ago36:02

36:02

"What makes man, man?" This question facilitates a discourse on the nature of man, which is a basis for foundational thought. The spring board for understanding the nature of man is the examination of Adam and Eve. "Did they have the capability to deliberate before eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil?" The significance of the…

5y ago20:51

20:51

We begin by revisiting a past discussion of whether Adam and Eve were acting without thought or deliberation, prior to the appearance of the serpent. In other words, were they going through the motions automatically which then changes after the eating of the fruit signified by the description, "their eyes were opened." We discuss why exploring thes…

5y ago12:05

12:05

Jason shares his realization that while its easy and natural to move forward, to jump from one topic to the next, what is missing is a thorough understanding and examination. Without these two activities, what we engage in is more accurately described as banter. So before we continue, the need to revisit previous discussions with a closer eye is de…

5y ago25:16

25:16

Our dialogue begins with an examination of Eve's processing prior to the taking and eating of the fruit. Choice is not a single event, rather it is made up of multiple components. We work together to extrapolate the components of Eve's choice, which were three particular parts. If the starting point of choice is desire and reason, what might have b…

23:36

The serpent's role with the Genesis account is discussed. Rather than identifying the purpose of the serpent, we instead delve into what its purpose was not.

26:27

The second volume of [Series: Scratching Below the Surface] begins with a question asked by Rewell in a past talk.
