No way I'm clicking on any link you offer, but I'll bet it doesn't describe Lilith's view.

I wonder if RJH even watched the thing all the way through. This woman in the video, with good credentials, acknowledges early on that she thinks the Garden of Eden story is figurative, not literal.

How do you know if RJH is even literal? Maybe everything he says is figurative and you just can't see it.

She puts forth this view as a justification of Eve's sin. She wants to take away any blame leveled at women for original sin. Yes, I did watch it all the we through, and since you are a women, I bet you like her viewpoint very well. Am I right?

I think this is called a set up.

I'm used to that from the JWs. They love to ask some innocent question and then when someone answers, they drop the other shoe and spring out, like, "AHA!" I've asked them repeatedly to just 'spit it out' but they persist in doing this.

To Ron, I didn't watch all the way through. I only watched about 1/4 of it, enough to wonder why you were espousing this woman's point of view when she clearly stated that she thought the story was figurative. Maybe I'll catch up when I get more time. The show did seem interesting on the face of it, and I wouldn't mind watching all of it.

Edit: I'm not all about making Eve blameless, much less all women. I'm not Eve, I'm not the one who believed in the lies of the serpent. And she's certainly not all women, so I think men who blame ALL women for original sin are throwing the cart before the horse. Make no mistake, I blame Satan for the fall of man, not Eve, and certainly not ALL women. That being said, I wouldn't have done what Eve did, but I'm also not as innocent as she was (before the fall).

"Make no mistake, I blame Satan for the fall of man,.."

You would be mistaken Suzianne.
