How the Creator God looks: Book of Enoch


(TheBlackParchment) The Book of Enoch finally exposed the Creator God -- and what this God actually looks like


God: An Anatomy
An astonishing and revelatory history that represents God as he was originally envisioned by ancient worshippers—with a distinctly male body, and with superhuman powers, earthly passions, and a penchant for the fantastic and monstrous.

"[A] rollicking journey through every aspect of Yahweh’s body [the Demiurge, Gnostic Yaldabaoth], from top to bottom (yes, that too) and from inside out... Ms. Stavrakopoulou has almost too much fun.” — The Economist

I'm no ET. I'm Baal. Worship me!
The scholarship of theology and religion teaches us that the God of the Bible was without a body, only revealing himself in the Old Testament in words mysteriously uttered through his prophets, and in the New Testament in the body of Christ.
The portrayal of God as corporeal and masculine is seen as merely metaphorical, figurative, or poetic. But, in this revelatory study, Francesca Stavrakopoulou presents a vividly corporeal image of God: a human-shaped deity who walks and talks [in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve] and weeps and laughs, who eats, sleeps, feels, and breathes, and who is undeniably male.

Could there be a God, a real God?

The Jewish God El
Here is a portrait—arrived at through the author's close examination of and research into the Bible—of a god in ancient myths and rituals who was a product of a particular society, at a particular time, made in the image of the people who lived then, shaped by their own circumstances and experience of the world.

From head to toe—and every part of the body in between [including the penis]—this is a god of stunning surprise and complexity, one we have never encountered before. More: God: An Anatomy (by Francesca Stavrakopoulou)
