Is there objective Truth?

@Arkilogue
If you want to have a bible study that would be awesome! But for the sake of preserving the philosphical arguments at hand maybe PM would be more appropriate?

...Or a separate thread. But I'm really not in the mood to explain the word for create is used in verse 1 while the following versed use a different word to describe fashioning something from already existing material.

@ark, it is not enough to look up the word in a concordance. One must also know the patterns of usage across multiple texts. Maybe you have but I'm not sensing that in your responses.

I take that and the archaic/mystic/oral tradition of the culture that gave rise to the OT. Look up the Ain Soph Aur and the Tzumtzum. It describes the infinite light of a limitless God that "carves out a space"/"hides itself from the space of creation by 10 veils of contraction.

The root of the word "Amen", whom the rising Lord Jesus refers to himself as in Rev, means "to be hidden". The exact same description can be found in Egypt as Amun. The story of "Jesus" is far older than 2016 years and no one at that time refereed to the man in question by that name...if that matters to anyone.
