What is Ben Shapiro trying to say with that verse? That the Abrahamic God is not gender conforming since Genesis says that both Male and Female are images of God? So God is trans?
His omnipotent and all-powerful god sure makes a lot of mistakes. Glad mine never does.
Technically it would make the Abrahamic God non-binary or gender-fluid, although I prefer the interpretation that there’s no reasonable way to understand them except that human kind are the imperfect reflections of their image.
Abrahamic God is a hermaphrodite - male and female at the same time. Ben Shapiro is an idiot.
Member when God transitioned a male rib into a female
This is the “first” creation story in genesis, describing the creation of Adam and Lilith, whom god made from dust at the same time. He turns Adam’s rib into Eve later.
Notice they’re not talking about evolution anymore, because they’ve handily lost that battle. The argument never changes, they just shift the context so they can keep making it
I don’t even understand what the fuck he thinks he’s arguing. Turnip brain.
I think, he hasn’t parsed yet that trans is not a gender. In the twisted logic of his, a trans man for example is neither a man nor a woman.
He’s never been the brightest knife in the attic
Isn’t Shapiro Jewish? Are there any differences in the human origin story in Judaism compared to the other Abrahamic religions?
If you mean Genesis, there isn’t much difference between that and Bereishis, as far as I’m aware. And from what I’ve heard, Muslims believe Christianity is also true, but that Mohammed is simply a later prophet. But I’m far from an expert on this.
Islam believes in most of the Jesus story; that he was the Messiah, he was born of a virgin, and performed miracles. However it differs where they believe that Jesus is not the Son of God nor was he resurrected.
But yeah, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Baha’i are the major Abrahamic religions and worship the same monotheistic God.
Judaism has two versions which have developed into a folkloric resolution of conflict.
The first version is what you know, but the second, which is actually canon to the Islamic version of Genesis, is that Adam and Eve were created simultaneously and co-equally.
More mystical sects of Judaism resolved the difference less by just picking one and more by saying that the woman who was made co-equal with Adam was a different woman named Lilith, and Eve was made from his rib.
Lilith is… complicated, depending on who’s talking she’s often considered a mythical mother of monsters because feminism and gender equality bad.
You know how Christians have an Old Testament and New Testament? That’s because Jesus is introduced in the New Testament. Jewish people only use the Old Testament.
