Hmmmmm...
What IF information was/were a spiritual matter..
Limited and filtered by translation by a human brain..
That ideas came from a spiritual source..
Fruits from "a spirit/Spirit" but inhibited by the human brain..
And that; no human brain could contain the ultimate good or evil of a matter..
And the Fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was UN-digestible by mankind..
The Genesis story could take on a whole nother light..
The duality's of ugly vs beauty, debits and credits, good vs evil, dream vs reality, matter vs energy, up vs down, and much more in a dualistic world..
Information can indeed be partial but true yet only half of the truth.. i.e. Einstein vs Bohr....
So he (Phillip) got up and went; and there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure; and he had come to Jerusalem to worship,Syntax, code, grammar: What does it say?
and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
Then the Spirit said to Philip, "Go up and join this chariot."
Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, "Do you understand what you are reading?"Semantics/Meaning: What does it mean?
And he said, "Well, how could I, unless someone guides me?" And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
Now the passage of Scripture which he was reading was this:
"(AR)HE WAS LED AS A SHEEP TO SLAUGHTER;
AND AS A LAMB BEFORE ITS SHEARER IS SILENT,
SO HE DOES NOT OPEN HIS MOUTH.
"(AS)IN HUMILIATION HIS JUDGMENT WAS TAKEN AWAY;
WHO WILL RELATE HIS GENERATION?
FOR HIS LIFE IS REMOVED FROM THE EARTH."
The eunuch answered Philip and said, "Please tell me, of whom does the prophet say this? Of himself or of someone else?"Action/Pragmatics: What do I do about it?
Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture he preached Jesus to him.
As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said, "Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?"
And Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may."
And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."Apobetics result/goal: What is the purpose?
And he ordered the chariot to stop; and they both went down into the water, Philip as well as the eunuch, and he baptized him.
When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch no longer saw him, but went on his way rejoicing.
But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he kept preaching the gospel...
