In this episode of Musings on Mysteries and the Mythical Matrix, we dive headfirst into the earliest pages of Genesis to confront the big questions—where myth, morality, and manuscript meet.
📜 Was the talking snake literal or symbolic? Did people really live for 900 years? What even is morality in the biblical worldview?
🧠 This episode explores:
🔹 Pre-Babylon vs. Post-Babylon writing styles and narrative shifts
🔹 The serpent in Eden: symbolic, literal, or both?
🔹 Where does myth end and history begin?
🔹 The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil—was it a trap, a test, or something else?
🔹 The morality question: is it defined by law, nature, or divine presence?
🔹 Lifespans in Genesis—literary device or real data?
🔹 Masoretic vs. Septuagint: what the differences reveal
🔹 The Book of Enoch & Nephilim—fringe or foundational?
🔹 Final thoughts that tie the threads together
🌱 This is a theological and textual deep-dive for seekers who don’t shy away from difficult questions.
🎙️ Tap in, share your theories, and wrestle through the roots of the biblical narrative with us.
