YHWH is EL
Welcome to “The Freethinkers guide to the bible” In this series we present you with thought provoking puzzles, and challenge you to solve them. To reach the greatest depths of bible stories and events one must investigate them without bias and be open to new ideas.
Who wrote the first five books (Torah) of the Jewish and Christian bible? Why are there accounts in the bible that are confusing or contradictory and cause our conscious and subconscious mind to attempt to resolve inconsistencies?
We will use critical thinking to answer these questions. This will give us a greater understanding of the foundational writings of the Jewish and Christian religions. Each analysis will build upon the previous, and in the end, will possibly give us the answers we seek.
Those who have not chained their minds are “freethinkers”: Miriam Webster gives this definition: “a person who thinks freely or independently: one who forms opinions on the basis of reason, independent of authority especially: one who rejects or is skeptical of religious dogma”.
