  • LOL! Thanks, I appreciate your concession that my conjecture “is acceptable”.
  • Not that you’re interested, here’s the first presentation of my conjecture in this forum:
    Notes on the Jewish Roots of the Christian Doctrine of Original Sin.
  • And here’s the first presentation of my conjecture on-line: [Post #60 and thereafter|
    To Hebrew experts: did Eve sleep with the Serpent?.
    • I was particularly pleased with this “debut” of my conjecture because it was shared with a very diverse crowd, including an ultra-Orthodox and a Conservative Jew, neither of whom objected.
    • To date, in this thread, I’ve not mentioned the inspiration for my conjecture: i.e. The Protoevangelium of James, Chapter 13., which is especially fascinating because:
      • “The Gospel of James (or the Protoevangelium of James) is a second-century infancy gospel telling of the miraculous conception of the Virgin Mary, her upbringing and marriage to Joseph, the journey of the couple to Bethlehem, the birth of Jesus, and events immediately following.”
  • At the risk of dulling the point of my conjecture, take a quick look at this Wikipedia Page, which discusses: The Serpent Seed Doctrine.
  • Neat, huh?
