It’s been said before, and not just by me, that although Yah is genderless, the gender that is more closely expressed by the Most High is female. This was obvious to the ancients. And a little thought makes it clear to us as well. Only a biological female (or hermaphrodite) can give birth to things…to the world, to people, to animals and plants. So the Adam and Eve story was also apparently switched, she was created first and he was pulled out of her body.
The Odes of Solomon are another set of writings removed from the modern Bible. We really don’t know if they were actually written by Solomon. But below is a passage that exemplifies the above.
Ode 19, verses 1-5.
“A cup of milk was offered to me; and I drank it in the sweetness and delight of the Lord. The Son is the cup, and He who was milked is the Father: And the Holy Spirit milked Him; because his breasts were full, and it was necessary for Him that His milk should be sufficiently released; And the Holy Spirit opened His bosom and mingled the milk from the two breasts of the Father; and gave the mixture to the world without their knowing. And they who receive in its fullness are the ones on the right hand.”
Replace “He” with “She” and “Father” with “Mother” and it flows more naturally, at least to me. The switch was done on purpose, or maybe because the translaters had no reference point to believe women can be powerful. Patriarchal societies that deny the power of women usually end up in trouble. Yah, in all her wisdom and kindness, pretends to be masculine to satisfy the belief system of people. If she presented herself as feminine, many people would doubt they’re actually witnessing the true and living God.
And speaking of natural…and trouble…
in these crazy end times, it’s clear to those paying attention that there is a battle between the sexes. Which is far from natural, and very troubling. Just my 2 cents. Societies and communities don’t get built on men fighting women and women fighting men. A spirit of cooperation is necessary. And here we have a crumbling of social values that’s causing problems for everybody.
The MGTOW and Red Pill movement is hurting relationships…real bad. Both women and men have issues, especially when they are not Believers. Because the root of the matter is if you’re living in sin it’s almost impossible to sustain a healthy long-term relationship. There’s too much temptation and opportunity to screw it up, and the devil will ensure to break it up sooner or later, as there is no power to stop it. Or worse, keep it together so that one or both parties continually suffer. (I know an alcoholic married to a compulsive gambler. They both hate each other, cheat on each other, but will most likely die together too). But instead of seeing the bigger picture (the evil lurking behind the scenes), men are blaming women and vice versa.
The themes of the “one that got away” and “a lost love” have always existed, but nowadays it seems it’s the rule rather than the exception.
Then we have a crop of Youtube fools adding gas to the flames by giving horrible advice to both parties. Telling people that women are all golddiggers, that modern women can’t cook and keep a clean house, and that a woman’s value is all in her looks and dress size, is only leading to division.
On the other side, telling people that respectful men are simps, that it’s better to stay with a cheater or abuser because you’ll never get anything better, that all men want a submissive wife, and all women want a big D is straight BS. People are called individuals for a reason. Whatever happened to different strokes for different folks?
The truth is closer to: strong men seek strong women and weak men seek weak women. Like attracts like, it’s natural symmetry. And men who give women respect and treat them well, will eventually find a queen who does the same for him… if he has a good prayer life and follows The Messiah’s commands. Otherwise satan will send him someone to wreck his mind and heart. Or block a good mate from entering his life, and he will be alone.
A woman who respects a man and treats him well will also find a king one day. But if her prayer life ain’t good she’ll most likely find a user and possibly abuser. Bullies look for those who can be bullied. And when they find them they lock on and it’s difficult to get rid of them.
These bad advice gurus are becoming idols to foolish people and leading them down the road to loneliness, bitterness and heartache. And getting paid to do it. So they won’t likely stop.
Sisters and Brothers, the world doesn’t need relationship gurus. It needs people willing to obey the Lord and to help those less fortunate. Those are the keys to success in love, and in life in general. Blessings.
