Dont know if "Adam" is just "man"?
But the idea that A&E were a hermaphrodite is also found in the Talmud.

Im pretty sure the idea of the Creator as hermaphroditic or androgyne is one of the oldest. How else could he "create" if he didn't control both sexes? Afterall, all creation was seen as a result of the uniting of the two percieved forces of the world, male/female. After the model of the sunrays and the earth mating to create a plant. And a male and a female banging to create a new life. So in the ancient world they came up with this silly idea that the whole world was created as a result of the two complimentary opposing forces uniting in one single big bang.
Personally, I'm glad we've moved forward.
Why does this remind me of "male enhancement" spam (size, volume, stamina)? And why does "Big Bang" in that context seem so disturbing?

I think it more that it is esoteric than "new."

If God created humans (that first "man" is misleading) in his own image, and he created them male and female, then God must have been of both genders. (So, no, not "They," God still was a single entity, being a bi-gender one.)

Gerard Stafleu

"..in his own image, and he created them male and female, then God must have been of both genders.."

It may be that when God created male and female, he was not "only" ... The hebraic word "Elhoim" is not a "plural maestatis", as would to do us believe the Jewish religious representatives, but a true plural!

The hebraic name "Yesha'yahu" (Isaiah) is a name "teoforo" ("God-bearing"). Its main features (similarly to all other names of its kind) is that it "carries" both the names of the two Gods of hebraism of the origins: the God of Moses and the God of Abraham!

This thread gives me an idea about how to make a million dollars!

Step 1. Buy a book-on-tape Bible (I wonder if Morgan Freeman recorded one?)

Step 2. Play it backwards!!1!

Step 3. Note all of the obvious vowel sounds that make a secret message out of the nonsense and then write a book revealing the incredible truth that Jesus was the walrus.

Jesus was the Carpenter. The Walrus was Paul.

I thinks it a good idea....

Ps: I do not know if Jesus was also a walrus, but I am sure that if he had learned what it was, he would have been able to do it believe to someone.

I dunno; Amun the local super god whose priests seem to have given the Jewish priests a model, and a temple, and bull sacrifises, and war tent, and ark etc was fused/unfused with Min who called his own name and brought about his own being had a wank, swallowed his own cum and brought about creation oh and then there is the potter[khnum] who made the humans, he evolved into the Ram headed Amun.

In the Egyptian 'holy of holies' the little gloomy home of god the priests are supposed to have re-inacted the creation [with a little help] I wonder if the Jewish priests continued this 'morning glory'?

I think you have much closer to the truth (at least for some aspects). But perhaps some "testa d'uovo" (egg's head) will think that you're trying to earn a few million dollars ....

However, please note that the origin of the hebraism is much more complex than you might imagine at the first.

All best

Okay big question why would a god require genitalia? Let alone male and female hormones. Obviosly the wise holy man never gave that one any pondering.
