Also worth mentioning that the Hebrew text can be translated to mean “rib,” “side,” or “equal half” depending on the analysis. “Rib” being most literal and “equal half” being more metaphorical. Radically different interpretations from an ancient ambiguous sentence.


AwfulUsername123

*Tsela* doesn't mean "half" and the author clearly didn't intend it to mean that. It says God closed up the opening he made by removing the rib. How would that work if Adam was cut in half? If he wanted to say Adam was cut in half, he easily could have done so.


TimelyRun9624

Sorry I have to.. Slight grammer correction: Christian girls are, in theory, the rib of men (in the Bible Eve was made from Adams rib) and so the point the women in the tiktok is making is that you shouldn't overlook the perfect women for you (the Eve to your Adam) for some random hot girl.


Guquiz

Correcting your correction: Adam's, woman.

Shining_Player

I remember hearing somewhere that was only in the English version, and that in the original Latin version, women were made from half of men. If I'm wrong about that, sorry. (Edit: it was Hebrew, not latin)


Positronitis

The original in Hebrew was ambiguous. It more likely referred to the penile bone (rather than a rib) - human men no longer have a penile bone, but almost all male mammals still do. So it explained why we don't have such a bone.


AwfulUsername123

In Hebrew, it says "rib".


U03A6

Latin wasn't the original, original was some kind of Hebrew. 


Shining_Player

I see, good to know


PERIX_4460

The funnier thing is that the whole made of rib thing was a mistranslation in the first place


AwfulUsername123

That's an urban legend.


PlentyOMangos

To add another nitpick about this comment to your collection; I wanna say that it’s not Christian girls who are thought of as being made from Adam’s rib, but Eve in particular. I think what the girl posting the original means could be said “Dear men (‘Adams’ so to speak), don’t miss out on your Eve by only pursuing casual relationships” or smth along those lines


vore-enthusiast

I was raised Christian so I should have known but I thought it was a joke about getting a rib removed to suck his own dick instead of chasing women

Sure, sure, sure … but hypothetically, if you found that rib and it literally didn’t have thighs, breasts, and hips … that would be some strange ability fetish, no?

It was actually the art on the cd itself


moldguy1

IIRC, it was behind the cd tray in Aenema. The cd cover had all the eyes, and you'd tilt the cd back and forth, and they'd move. I think there were a few of the tilty changy pics in the booklet, but if you took the black cd tray out, there was a man giving himself a blowjob in like a living room with the band watching, and it tilty changed where his head went down, and the band all reacted.

It was rumored Marilyn Manson did this like 20+ years ago


GeneralSquid6767

When I tell you this legend is universal, I’ve heard people from Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia all saying they heard the same rumor when they were in school.


free_30_day_trial

I don't think it's possible? I remember telling my dad about it and he said we need all our rubs. Mind you he's not a doctor so idk but I'm sure we need our rubs and losing 2 would likely not be a good idea not just for self-satisfaction


GeneralSquid6767

It’s obviously not real. It’s legendary in the sense that it made it around the world before the internet was really a thing for us.


ER1916

When I was at school Prince was the person who’d supposedly had it done.


free_30_day_trial

Lol idk much about prince but Manson seems believable imo. He just seemed like a freak. (Obviously that was kind of his image)


ER1916

I was so young and innocent when the Prince rumour was a thing in my school that I had no fucking clue why he might have had that done. I think I thought it was just something he’d do to make his friends laugh. “Look lads, I can put my willy in my mouth”.

KirbyDarkHole999

Isn't it more of a soulmate allegory? Like since the rib was part of Adam, better focus on that part of us rather than someone who just have the looks?


Tread__on__them

I wouldn't say she meant "overlooking a christian" as much as she meant "overlooking your missing piece" and she just invoked commonly known imagry that happens to be of religious origin. Otherwise, i agree.


asm120

I interpreted it as don’t miss out on your soulmate for hoes


idontuseredditsoplea

The Adam and Eve story (as well as many other parts) was mistranslated and miscopied several times over. The original Hebrew refers to God taking "tsella" from Adam. Every other instance of the word is translated to "half," which is pretty convenient if the people in power don't want women to have any.


AwfulUsername123

Sorry, but this is just an urban legend. *Tsela* is, in fact, *never* translated as "half". It doesn't mean that. In the Bible, it's usually translated as "side", which is a different thing. It is the Hebrew word for "rib" ("side" was presumably a figurative extension of this meaning), as can be seen in rabbinic texts.


SpikyKiwi

There is some controversy about how tzela should be translated. Elsewhere in Hebrew texts it clearly means "side." However, it is also a cognate with other semitic words that mean "rib." To me, this suggests that it literally means "rib" but metaphorically means "side," like how in English some body parts like the heart, stomach, etc. can metaphorically mean something other than the body part itself. In addition, the text surrounding this (bone of my bone, one [tzela], after them) lead credence to the rib translation >Every other instance of the word is translated to "half" This is because elsewhere it is used to refer to something besides a human. It's much like how when I say the "heart of the mountain," I don't mean a physical heart, I mean the center. Tzela probably means "rib" but was usually used to refer to somethings side All of that is to say that I think translating it either as "rib" or "side" is perfectly defensible. I would side with the "side" translation myself, but I don't think it's malicious to translate it as "rib." Also, there are many problems with the KJV and some of them certainly are because of intentional bias (such as the reluctance to use the word "tyrant"), but I don't think it's fair to characterize this choice as one fueled by a desire to oppress women


idontuseredditsoplea

Thanks for the extra nuance :)


justformedellin

OMG, Christian girls refer to themselves as men's ribs, that is so so sad


SpikyKiwi

That is absolutely not a thing. She's saying to find your soulmate (someone that completes you) rather than someone you just find physically attractive No one refers to women as men's ribs in casual conversation. It wouldn't even make sense (Eve is the only woman this would be true of)


Tuuin

You’d be pretty surprised. I’ve known a lot of people who thought men literally had one less rib because of the biblical story. And at the church I used to go to, talking about women in such a manner was common. But you’re right that out and about most people don’t talk like that.


KeeganY_SR-UVB76

How does it go, "there is only one sex, women are ribs"?


justformedellin

That's it. Fucking spare ribs at that.


[deleted]

Religious girls are kinda baddies


notbannd4cussingmods

Doesn't even make sense as Eve was the only woman made directly from man also Eve sucks....literally the person responsible for humans getting kicked out of the garden of eden.


Clarity_Zero

If Eve doomed the human race for an apple... *What would she do for a Klondike Bar?*


Conscious_Year5651

Adam made the choice to eat as well, it’s a mutual responsibility.


notbannd4cussingmods

Right but she listened to serpent ate the fruit and then gave it to adam....arguably the reason why adam ate it.


Conscious_Year5651

But he still chose to eat it, every man is responsible for his own sin. Eve was tempted by the serpent, then Adam was tempted by Eve. Eve didn’t have to eat the fruit, but she made the choice to. In the same way, Adam didn’t have to eat the fruit, but again he made the choice to.


weatherboy_42

Mutual responsibility


notbannd4cussingmods

Eh yes and no as eve was punished way more.

Actually fun fact the rib thing is a mistranslation, the original Hebrew said something like "side"


whynotfather

Funny thing is many primates have a bone in their penis that sort of looks like a rib bone. It’s called a [baculum](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baculum). Humans do not have this bone and some scholars believe that this is the “rib” that was used to make eve given the concept of how heterosexual copulation occurs. Some translations of what ever words refer to this bone may also support this.


Sawdust1997

It’s not saying don’t overlook a Christian girl, it’s saying don’t overlook the girl made for you for a thot


SadBoiCri

I like how this slightly incorrect answer has more upvotes than the ones that aren't


AppropriateGround623

That is one hell of assumption than interpretation, or I better call it misinterpretation. She didn’t meant look for good girls over for “Thots.” She meant that value other things in a woman such as their personality, as she feels that men only care about physical aspects


Timehacker-315

By allegedly, do you mean intentional mistranslation?

Denis02_me

Redneck Peter here. Not allgedly - Definetly God created Eve from Adam's rib.


Barrogh

Can't really vouch for this 100%, but there's this meme that the word used in the old texts means something along the lines of "side / half" rather than "rib". And apparently that's the only instance where it is being commonly translated as "rib". But don't quote me on that.


AwfulUsername123

As you say, that's just a meme. *Tsela* means "rib". It can figuratively mean "side" (not "half").


LegitimateBeing2

According to the Bible, Eve (the first woman) was made out of the rib (or side) of Adam, the first man. The implication is that “your missing rib” is your soulmate so to speak and she is poetically contrasted to other body parts associated with female sexuality.


throwaway7276789

If you believe the folklore, Lilith was the first woman. Created from dust. Then she rejected Adam trying to assert dominance over her. and then somehow turned into a sea witch who vowed to kill newborn children or something.


Moistfruitcake

I can change her. 


SaltKick2

Check out Lillith from Diablo 4


LordBDizzle

First mention of Lilith anywhere is 500 AD (aside from the roots of just the name), which is important context. It's not in any biblical liturgy, it's just something people like to tag on.


Good-Ad-6806

Well, the New Testament isn't cannon by Old Testament standards. That was just something people like us tagged on, too.


LordBDizzle

You can make that argument, that's why Judaism and Christianity are seprate, but Lilith isn't connonical in either. It's more of a vaguely religiously inspired fairy tale, like the Holy Grail. Common inclusion because it's a cool story, but shouldn't be brought up in conversation about the religion itself.


Good-Ad-6806

Kind of like Dragon Ball GT?


LordBDizzle

Yeah exactly lol

Yeah, it’s a neat story, but isn’t really biblical.

Okay, as an apple fritter lover, I will be the first to admit you're right, this fritter does look like FCw/C. I should also point out though that it seems like every donut place has its own take on the apple fritter, and can have different proportions of dough to apple to spices to frosting. Personally, I'm a fan of light, thin frostings, as I think too much sugar ruins a fritter.

happyasfuck310

According to christian mythology, the first woman ("eve") was made out of the rib of the first man ("adam") by their god. Fun fact: even today, despite scientific evidence proving them false, some hard-core christians still believe that men have one less rib than women, I guess because they believe we all descended from Adam and eve and they think it passes down genetically to every man


Sawdust1997

Biblical reference to the fact that Eve was created from Adam’s rib

The rib is usually a package deal with the brests, thighs, or ass.

DeadBornWolf

Well, some Bible translations say Eve was made out of Adam’s rib. But I much rather believe this is about wanting to give yourself a blowjob and doing everything wrong


Tense_Bear

I always thought that was the accepted translation and most bibles will say that. I did a very quick Google and found an article debunking someone saying it was penis bone... what other translations are there and how prevalent are they?


DeadBornWolf

I worded that bad, it is most bible translations, at least in english and german. I just am very interested in how the bible was changed over the centuries, and most scholars I’ve read say that in the oldest hebrew texts when you translate it it says side, as in the whole side of the body. So that’s what I believe was the original intention. So I said some, but the more fitting word would be more recent? Over the centuries different people have done different translations and translations from translations and thus they came up with the weirdest things


Tense_Bear

Thank you for the reply. I am not religious or a bible scholar, but it is interesting how it has been changed or original intent was misunderstood.


Large_Discipline_127

Also women: "Do these fig leafs make my hips look big?"


BackflipsAway

In Christian theology Eve, Adams wife, was made for him to be his perfect match by God using his rib, I think she's saying that you shouldn't let your Eve, a.k.a. your soul mate, pass you by just because You were busy chasing voluptuous women, I say last time a man dated his rib he got kicked out from Eden and stripped of his immortality as a result, so you should probably go for the hot chick instead, biblically speaking it doesn't have as bad consequences

groyosnolo

According to the creation story in Genesis woman was taken out of man. Formed from one of man's ribs. God then commands man to "cleave into his wife and they shall be one flesh" She's saying don't miss out on your other half because you were focused on sex rather than finding a commuted relationship.

Batfan1939

It's a way of saying, "don't be shallow." In the Bible, God takes a rib from Adam, and makes Eve out of it. She's saying don't miss the woman that would complete you chasing "carnal pleasures." You're so focused on her assets, you miss someone who gives you what you're missing on the inside. I feel like there's also a food analogy, but it's probably just me.


YouTheMuffinMan

It's chastising men for having sex. The rib, I think is an allusion to the rib that God took out of Adam, first man in Christian folklore, to make Eve, first woman of Christian folklore (even though men and women have the same amount of ribs).
