As a Jew this is hard for me to explain

[Indeependent]

What were the ancient Jews passing down from generation to generation via the thousands of pages they composed?

You want me to walk you through it?

Please walk me through Tanakh...

Let's start with the Torah and see how it goes from there. Remember... quid pro quo.

The central question is where did we come from? The Torah addresses that question head on right out of the gate. Do you agree?

Start with B’reishis 1:1 since that’s what the ancients started with.

We're going to start with Genesis 1. In the beginning. Do you agree that Genesis 1 is ancient man's understanding of where we come from?

No, it is God dictating to Moshe the fact that God created us and so we are obligated to God.

God informs us that only He is not finite by stating, “In the beginning God...”.
So before what can be defined as beginning is God.

I agree that God is the beginning and the end the Alpha and the Omega. God has existed forever and is unchanging. God is existence.

You have to read The Way Of God.

I don't disagree. Genesis 1 tells the account of God creating the universe and that we are a product of that creation.

Nope. Never read it. I have been led to my beliefs I believe through the spirit of God. I can't explain it any other way.

It is an allegorical description of creation. One that has been proven by science.

The Ramchal uses Scripture to explain the structure of existence.

This is why I don't discuss matter of faith with non-Jews. There is no common point of reference. It is literally like having and argument between two people speaking different languages.

These accounts were written this way so that they could be passed down orally from generation to generation. Moses didn't make this shit up when he wrote it down for the first time. It was common knowledge.
