When you read the Bible, people call it the infallible word of God without error and it is not.

The amazing aspect of it is, if you look historically in its creation you will find that which was alleged to have been written by a person named Moses whoever that was, or if that person even did exist that document was lost, completely lost and was rewritten by and individual who was in Babylon which is present day Iraq by the name of Ezra. Those first five books as far as history is able to determine are the composition of this individual called Ezra. Ezra was authorised to bring the law to Jerusalem under the Authority of King Artaxerxes who was the King of Babylon at that time.

Ezra started it, he never did complete it and actually, the first five books were completed by a man named Judah Maccabaeus (Yehudah ha-Makabi) Judah was the one who completed it so Moses really had nothing to do with it.

Where all these stories come from as you sit in far removed confines of this strange place in Iraq and Iran called Babylon and Persia, when you pick up the book it looks like you have an eye to eye first person account of all of this activity that went on, when indeed you had these stories come out of the minds of people who were steeped in Eastern religions under Zoroaster out of the Kingdoms of Babylon.

Critically the Bible can be looked at as a book that is nine hundred years old, bounding with omission, interpretations and premeditated perversions, manuscripts that were copied and recopied by scribes who not only made errors in letters and words but also entered new material of their own or combined texts in one manuscript with the writings of two people.

So, you have writings that if you want to find a word the best word is mutilated but the point is, was it mutilated on purpose in order to conceal the sacred mysteries because the Bible is an Eastern Book loaded with these sacred mysteries of which Christianity knows nothing about.

The Christian world has no understanding of the hidden mysteries at all.

Everything is defined literally, you have snakes talking to people, you have oceans opening up, you have men living in the belly of a fish and all of these things are taken by Christianity literally, and when you do that you completely are ignoring the mystery of religions and the secret doctrine of Israel is totally concealed from them.

It is a very difficult to pick up a Book like the Bible and read it, because you cannot, you are reading an Eastern mystical document that is filled with symbolisms and for the most part you are trying to make sense out of it using the intellect, and of course the Apostle Paul was very clear that this cannot be done, he is the one that said do not be a ‘Minister of the Letter’, do not take this literally, he is the one that said the Old Testament is all allegory, if it is an allegory it is symbolism, and if it is symbolism then the meanings are hidden. The reason they are hidden is to keep the understanding away from those that could abuse its true meaning.

So, when you look at these stories from this perspective we will be able to look through Genesis and see some startling things that will help you to comprehend how the Bible was put together.

There are a lot of things that are quite meaningful in the Bible, in order to grasp what is important to your life you should take a close look at how it is formed.

Let’s look at a few interesting things:

Genesis Chapter 1:9

And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

Here we read the Earth emerges from the water, in another words the Earth comes out of the waters and the Earth is saturated with moisture, obviously, you would expect the Earth to be soaked in water if it appeared or rose from the waters, now look at:

Genesis Chapter 2:6

But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

There went up a mist from the Earth and watered the whole face of the ground, there is a mist from the Earth, in Genesis 1:9 it stated the Earth emerged from the water. Yet in Genesis 2:6 it states there is a mist that rose from the Earth which then watered the ground, in another words the ground acquired moisture, so which was it? Was it underwater and came bursting forth or did a mist go up and water the Earth?

Look at:

Genesis Chapter 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

Where did the moving creature come from, the waters, the birds and the beasts are created from the waters, now in this chapter, watch:

Genesis Chapter 1:24

And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

And look at:

Genesis Chapter 1:26

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

So here in Genesis 1: 20 and 24 the birds and the beasts are created before man, and in Genesis 1: 26, man was created to have dominion over the birds and the beasts that were already created, but look at:

Genesis Chapter 2:7

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life: and man became a living soul.

Here is the formation of Man, and look now at:

Genesis Chapter 2:19

And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air: and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

So here in Genesis 2 God formed every beast and brought them onto Adam, Adam was formed before the beast yet in Genesis 1 the beast was formed before Adam.

This is very important when you begin to look at this, what you begin to recognise is that the Book of Genesis is not an entire book there are two or three distinct creations or authors of Genesis.

Look again at:

Genesis Chapter 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

All the fowls were brought forth from the waters, now look at:

Genesis Chapter 2:19

And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air: and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

In this chapter it was out of the ground that the lord formed every beast and fowl.

So which was it?

This is very important, it is very important for you to recognise that on the very first few pages of the Bible there are contradictions, tremendous contradictions and as you go along it gets more interesting.

Look at this one:

Genesis Chapter 1:27

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him: male and female created he them.

God created man in his own image, male and female he created them.

Then in:

Genesis Chapter 2:7

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life: and man became a living soul.

Which is it?

Is he created in the image of God or is he created out of the dust of the ground?

The two are certainly not consistent, and look at what happens when man has eaten the forbidden fruit:

Genesis Chapter 3:22

And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

‘Behold the man has become one of us’, why?

Because he has eaten the forbidden fruit. The man has become one of us, to know good and evil, not till man has eaten the forbidden fruit does he become as one of us meaning God plural.

Is that not interesting?

The fall is actually the ascension: man did not become as God until he had disobeyed God.

Let’s go on:

Genesis Chapter 1:28

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Here man is made lord over everything, but look at:

Genesis Chapter 2:15

And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

Here Man is a gardener, quite a difference.

Now look at:

Genesis Chapter 1:27-28

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him: male and female created he them.

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

What does it say here, God created man, God created male and female, instantaneously he created both male and female, and he said be fruitful and multiply, now look at:

Genesis Chapter 2:7

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life: and man became a living soul.

Here Man is made out of the dust of the ground.

Genesis Chapter 2:8

And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden: and there he put the man whom he had formed.

In this Chapter, he is a gardener, the Gardener of Eden.

Genesis Chapter 2:15

And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

Here again it is confirmed he is the gardener again, then:

Genesis Chapter 2:22

And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

It says finally a rib is taken out of man and from man a woman was made.

In Genesis 1: 27 it said that both male and female were created simultaneously, to have dominion over everything, but now he is a gardener, he falls asleep God rips out a rib from man and creates a woman.

It is very interesting because the events are very different.

So the fact is the second account of creation starting at Genesis 2:4-25 together with the story of the fall in Genesis 3 are written by one person. Composed all together by a different person that wrote Genesis 1 and Genesis 5.

They are completely different.

So the Bible strangely begins account one in Genesis 1 and goes up to Genesis 2:3 as soon as it gets to Genesis 4 it is a different writer. In the second account, which is completely different in Genesis 2:4 than in Genesis 1, the second account begins as if it is a continuation of Genesis 1, which it is not. It is from different authors, different accounts of the beginning, they are different stories.

Let’s go on:

So how can this be holy? How is this such a holy book? Here the religious teachers have taught that this is the creation of man and this the way it is, and they will talk about Adam and Eve and they will talk about the serpent, the forbidden fruit, but what you have to comprehend here is a book that this was written in Babylon thousands of years ago, we now know describing an event that happened millions of years after this is supposed to have happened, they made it up, it is all part of the myths  and legends from the ancients.

Most interesting thing here is that you can search the Old Testament but after Genesis there is never a mention made of Adam and Eve, never. Never heard of Adam and Eve, never heard of the Garden of Eden, why? Because it is a physiological story about the human mind, it has nothing to do with people in a garden: it is not part of the history of the cult of the ancient Jews. The serpent, the fall the garden is never mentioned again in the books of the Old Testament, never, anywhere. Why?

Don’t you think this is a big deal if this really happened, it would be in the Book of Law somewhere.

Because these people knew it is allegory it is a mystical story to try to get you to think about the mind, only a fool would take it laterally and millions do.

This is a magnificent tale of psychology about the human mind.

The word Eve’, means – ‘life giving Spirit’, it’s your mental process.

The word Adam, means – ‘the Earth’, means that which is the mind, it is your lower self, your physical aspect.

The serpent, is nothing more than your spine, which signifies the temptation.

What this story is trying to say to you is that the serpent speaks to your mind, that carnal Spirit that talks to you inside is the serpent which presents the desires of the flesh, when Eve which is your mind thinks about this and decides to do this deed whatever you are tempted to do, then Eve has eaten the fruit. When Adam comes along and you work out to do it physically then Adam has eaten the fruit. That is all this story is.

It is a psychological story of the human mind and we have made it into a literal thing.

The Israelites never, ever after the Book of Genesis mention the story again in the Old Testament.

We saw in Genesis 1:27 that God created man in his own image, male and female, now look at:

Genesis Chapter 1:29

And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed: to you it shall be for meat.

In another words God gave us a vegetarian diet.

So God formed man from dust, gives him a diet, puts him in the garden, now look what happens in:

Genesis Chapter 2:16

And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

God hedges his decree, first in Genesis 1:29 you can eat of every tree now all of a sudden you may no longer eat from every tree:

Genesis Chapter 2:17

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

So from the tree of knowledge of good and evil you no longer may eat, if you eat that fruit you will die, so there is a change here, you now can no longer eat of every tree.

Look further.

Both accounts that of Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 agree, man has no name, but look at:

Genesis Chapter 2:19

And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air: and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

Man is named Adam.

What is very interesting is this, in the second account of creation, man is not formed in the image of God, but a peculiar change occurs when he eats the forbidden fruit, remember he is made out of the dust of the ground, but something strange happens:

Genesis Chapter 3:22

And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

Here the writer eludes to more than one God, the ancient belief of Gods appears in Genesis right here, man has become as one of us, to know good and evil.

What happened here, there are two attributes that man has found here?

First, immortal life – he said if he puts his hand and takes from the tree of life he will live forever.

Second, he has knowledge of Good and Evil.

Man gains the second attribute but he is denied the first because he is forced from the garden by the knowledge of the second. There are two things here, immortal life and the knowledge of good and evil. When man acquires the knowledge of good and evil, he now separates himself from immortal life, he cannot have that.

As you look at the Bible you see what happens through Genesis 3 and 4, Adam and Eve get expelled out of the Garden of Eden, through disobedience, the curse, Cane and Abel and the rest and one has to notice that as man is driven from the garden the instructions still for the third time is that he can eat any herb, it’s always a vegetarian diet, in another words the original premise here is to never kill something to eat, never to kill something to survive, man was made to be a vegetarian.

Now let’s see something where the first account in Genesis 1 comes back again:

Genesis Chapter 5:1

This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him:

Male and female created he them: and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

God did not call them Adam and Eve what happened to Eve, he called them Adam, so here we have now:

Genesis Chapter 5:1

Male and female created he them:

And

Genesis Chapter 1:27

male and female created he them.

Genesis 1 and Genesis 5 are exactly the same, Genesis 3 & 4 and part of 2 are completely different and clearly by different writers.

So obviously if he is created in the image of God, he is not the same person who is created from the dust in the ground and gets put in the garden to take care of Eden.

It is interesting to note that in Genesis 5:2 God named the first man Adam, in Genesis 2:19 man was formed from the dust he was not named by God he was named by the writer.

We then have the writer that wrote Genesis 1 & 5 who knows nothing about the Garden of Eden, if you read Genesis 5 it says nothing about the Garden, it does not mention anything about Cane and Abel, it does not mention anything about a serpent, does not mention anything about being expelled or the fall, there is no mention of it. Even the genealogy is completely different.

In Genesis 1 & 5 we have:

  • Adam
  • Seth
  • Enos
  • Cainan
  • Mahalaleel
  • Jared
  • Enoch
  • Methuselah
  • Lamech
  • Noah

In Genesis 2, 3 & 4 we have:

  • Adam & Eve
  • Cain & Abel
  • Enoch
  • Irad
  • Mehujael
  • Methusael
  • Lamech
  • Jabal & Jubal & Tubalcain
  • Seth

Totally different, yet this is written in the Bible, written by two different people, completely different lineage, nothing is the same.

There is another interesting thing, there is a river, there are four rivers that flow out of the garden, and this is what is very interesting, there are four rivers that existed, they are Pison, Gihon, Hiddekel and Euphrates.

Now the important thing here to consider is that these were named before Adam was created, so who named them? Adam was supposed to name everything yet these rivers existed before he did, who named them?

So what we have to do then is comprehend the complexities in these writings that in the Bible there are too many conflicts and contradictions that in conclusion we are left to look not for the literal meanings of this scripture but to comprehend the Bible in total Spirit.

So when we begin to go beyond the Book of Genesis and as we leave this here, what is important to appreciate is that you are engaging in the origin of that which is total psychology and that this is expressed in symbolic allegorical stories.

We begin to comprehend that in the Book of Genesis there is a great chasm which is created by the difference of that that is spiritual and the creation of that that is physical.
