The bible thread

[Dr Mario]

Uh-huh, the Three Sixes go at points of a star in part of a large diagram used in a communion ritual. I haven't seen the book detailing this ritual for a few years now so I can't scan it up for you. If you can't find it in Kabbalah ritual, look for it under Merqabah.
The meaning of 13 comes from the Hebrew alphabet's number/letter equivalence. A TON of Jewish mystical thinking comes from word values.

I've never seen a judaic star laid out in that style (the Merkabah arrangement is fairly common amongst new agers as well, but I've never seen one of theirs like it either), so I'd appreciate a book title or something I could use to track down more info.

I'm not familiar enough with Hebrew/Aramaic language to judge the letter/number equivalence, so I'll leave that for someone else.

As for the stuff about Lillith you said, that's a fine long standing tradition where it concerns religions, taking over old symbology and gods/devils. Kinda like how your average persons concept of the devil is pretty much the old deity, Pan. Most of the god/devil images we know can be traced back nearly as far as records exist.

Indeed. I personally like the Adam/Lillith narrative, but it's about as theologically relevant as the average Christians image of demons.

I'd tell you what I think about Jesus but this ain't the place. Leave it at He is God's son, we are all God's Children. Jesus was more of a Role Model than an Ultimate Being. We all have the same potential. So why aren't we all a lot more like Jesus?

If you'd like to elaborate on this (especially the Taoist/Anishinaabe elements in your belief) I'd be happy to hear it. That's not a common combination of faiths, and it's always interesting to see a new take on things, even if I don't agree with it.

EXTREMELY sorry for hijacking the thread. I'll be leaving now. I truly apologize.

Eh. This thread was well and truly hijacked by the second post.
