  1. The DaVinci Inquest Part 6: Sex and the Goddess

  2. “Early Jews believed that the Holy of Holies in Solomon’s Temple housed not only God but also His powerful female equal, Shekinah. Men seeking spiritual wholeness came to the Temple to visit priestesses—or hierodules— with whom they made love and experienced the divine through physical union. The Jewish tetragrammaton YHWH— the sacred name of God— in fact derived from Jehovah, an androgynous physical union between the masculine Jah and the pre-Hebraic name for Eve, Havah.” ~ The DaVinci Code, p. 309

  3. Shekinah • “Glory, Radiance, Presence” • Feminine Word? • Un livre • Jewish Tetragrammaton: YHWH (יהוה) • “word with four letters” • Personal Name for God – “I Am that I Am” • Adonai (אֲדֹנָי) + YHWH (יהוה ) = Jehovah (יְהֹוָה) • Hawâ = Hebrew name for Eve (no pre-Hebraic)

  4. “Early Jews believed that the Holy of Holies in Solomon’s Temple housed not only God but also His powerful female equal, Shekinah. Men seeking spiritual wholeness came to the Temple to visit priestesses—or hierodules— with whom they made love and experienced the divine through physical union.” ~ The DaVinci Code, p. 309

  5. Then God instructed the people as follows: “I am the LORD your God, who rescued you from slavery in Egypt. Do not worship any other gods besides me.” Exodus 20:1-3 (NLT)

  6. “The most important commandment is this: ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. And you must love the Lord your God…” Mark 12:29-30 (NLT)

  7. So God created people in his own image; God patterned them after himself; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27 (NLT)

  8. The once hallowed act of Hieros Gamos— the natural sexual union between man and woman through which each became spiritually whole— had been recast as a shameful act. Holy men who had once required sexual union with their female counterparts to commune with God now feared their natural sexual urges as the work of the devil, collaborating with his favorite accomplice... woman. ~ The DaVinci Code, p. 125-126

  9. “…Hieros Gamos had nothing to do with eroticism. It was a spiritual act. Historically, intercourse was the act through which male and female experienced God… By communing with woman… man could achieve a climactic instant when his mind went totally blank and he could see God… For obvious reasons, [the Church] worked hard to demonize sex and recast it as a disgusting and sinful act.” ~ The DaVinci Code, p. 309

  10. “No Israelite man or woman may ever become a temple prostitute.” Deuteronomy 23:17 (NLT)

  11. Then the king instructed Hilkiah the high priest and the leading priests and the Temple gatekeepers to remove from the LORD’s Temple all the utensils that were used to worship Baal, Asherah, and all the forces of heaven. The king had all these things burned… He also tore down the houses of the shrine prostitutes that were inside the Temple of the LORD… 2 Kings 23:4,7 (NLT)

  12. Don’t you realize that your bodies are actually parts of Christ? Should a man take his body, which belongs to Christ, and join it to a prostitute? Never! And don’t you know that if a man joins himself to a prostitute, he becomes one body with her? For the Scriptures say, “The two are united into one.” But the person who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Run away from sexual sin! No other sin so 1 Corinthians 6:15-20 (NLT)

  13. clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. Or don’t you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. 1 Corinthians 6:15-20 (NLT)

  14. The Bible’s View on Sex: • Adam and Eve were naked, came together as “one flesh” and felt no shame. (Genesis 2:24-25) • Song of Solomon is a love manual for married couples. • Hebrews 13:4 talks about keeping the marriage bed pure.

  16. We should celebrate sex while remaining cautious about relational and religious abuse.

  17. Paganism: a term for polytheistic (many gods and/or goddesses) or nature-worshipping religions with ancient roots, and includes such branches as the occult, New Age, and Gnosticism.

  19. “The Goddess Sophia has gained notice in recent years through the Re-Imaging Movement. This movement has made inroads into many Christian denominations: United Methodist, Lutheran, Roman Catholic, United Church of Christ, Baptist, Episcopalian, Mennonite, United Church of Canada, the church of the Brethren and the Church Women

  20. United. This movement to establish the Goddess Sophia as a co-equal to God has its origin in ancient Gnosticism and is now being reintroduced to a new audience…” ~ Russ Wise
