WHAT WAS THE FIRST HUMAN INVENTION?

[jeremiah1five]

The word "Theology" comes to us from Greek.

It is a compound word joining two Greek words to make one word.

"Theos" is Greek translated "God."

Logos" is Greek meaning "word or thought." John uses this word to describe the Second Person of the Trinity becoming flesh. "In the beginning was the Word (Logos)..."

Thus, "Theology" means to us in English "Word of God."

So, let's have some fun with this question:

What was the first human invention?

Anybody?

 

[Paul Timothy]

Maybe instead of defining theology and then asking a question that does not include that word... maybe define invention.

What is the first creative act the man did... name the animals.
If an invention is a physical thing... clothing.

"Logos in the Greek has a range of meaning, including reason, law, word, speaking, declaration." (Vern Poythress)

theology (n.)​

mid-14c., "the science of religion, study of God and his relationship to humanity," from Old French theologie "philosophical study of Christian doctrine; Scripture" (14c.), from Latin theologia, from Greek theologia "an account of the gods," from theologos "one discoursing on the gods," from theos "god" (from PIE root *dhes-, forming words for religious concepts) + -logos "treating of" (see -logy)

-logy​

word-forming element meaning "a speaking, discourse, treatise, doctrine, theory, science," from Greek -logia (often via French -logie or Medieval Latin -logia), from -log-, combining form of legein "to speak, tell;" thus, "the character or deportment of one who speaks or treats of (a certain subject);" from PIE root *leg- (1) "to collect, gather," with derivatives meaning "to speak (to 'pick out words')." Often via Medieval Latin -logia, French -logie. In philology "love of learning; love of words or discourse," apology, doxology, analogy, trilogy, etc., Greek logos "word, speech, statement, discourse" is directly concerned.

In English, theology is just the study of God and those things related to him.

Right... and then the question is all about man and not God.
Do I not see something obvious?
What am I missing?

I don't understand what you're asking. I simply gave what the actual meaning of theology is.

Right and then the OP asked a question that had nothing to do with theology.
So I am wondering why everyone is defining a term that is not part of the OP question.

Well, theology was defined incorrectly in the OP, so I was just correcting it. I don't know what that has to do with the question either, although I'm sure we'll find out. I'm just not interested in the question, but I think you have given the best answer based on Scripture.

Probably some gardening implement.
Or maybe a cup?

Murder was the first human invention:

Now Cain talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him. (Gen. 4:8 NKJ)

John 1:14 kjv
14. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Man invented AI
Artificial Intelligence - sin
Twisting truth maybe a little like weaving than sewing.
Thanks hawkman

Very good, Hawkman.

The first human invention was the needle.

The sewing needle.

Thanks to all for stopping by and providing your answers.
