You may want to read the previous post before you read this one to get a better understanding of the progression of thought.
YHWH has created us to ultimately serve YHWH, and then He unleashed His twin and with his job to persuade us not to worship YHWH to see or test us to know if our heart is true. This test is sort of like the story of the lying prophet in I Kings 13:1-25.
If we serve YHWH apart from all others regardless of what the twin has tempted us to do, then we will have passed the test, for nothing should sway us from keeping the Torah if our heart is true.
Since the Torah teaches us the ordinances, statutes and judgments of YHWH, in other words they teach us what it means to serve YHWH, what from YHWH teaches us not to worship YHWH, so that we would have the other choice?
YHWH, as we know, is the author of order and since He is an Elohi of order, His twin must be the author of disorder and confusion. What is disorder and confusion?
Confusion means disorder, jumble, turmoil, or uncertainty of mind, chaos, clutter and disarray, etc.
The word jumble means to mix in a confused mass.
The question to ask is this. How can something be written so that it would be a jumbled mass and still interest the reader, so that it would be read? Has there ever been a book written that is a jumbled mass? Is the Bible such a book?
Consider all these factors. There are several translations of the Bible and each is unique in its authorship, understanding and message. Everyone is different and the same to some degree. Each translator claims that his translation is the truth. If one translation is the truth is the other a lie?
There are also several religions that claim a portion or the whole of the Bible as their book of foundation of principles. How can this be? How can they all claim to be the true religion and use the same book? How can the same book be used to support such a wide range of beliefs and still be authentic? Maybe that is a message in and of itself.
