Genesis Chapters 1-22
What have we discovered in the first piece of the Bible?
a. Adam and Eve had the minds of children ... there was nothing but The Lord, Eden and the animals to influence them. They only spoke to each other and to The Lord. So, when the Jealous One spoke to Eve, through the snake, there was no reason for her to doubt the words that the snake spoke. She didn't know anything about deception ... because she thought with the mind of a young child, trusting the snake. And so did Adam step into the same trap as Eve ... trusting what he heard.
b. When Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge, its magical powers opened their eyes to see the reality around them.
The Lord sent them away from Eden ... He didn't destroy Eden ... no ... He sent them away. This means that Eden is still alive on the planet, but that He had closed the eyes of man so that he would not be able to see Eden. The Lord didn't destroy Eden, because of the 2 magical trees that He had brought from heaven to plant in the Garden of Eden ... the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and the Tree of Eternal Life. He was not prepared to destroy these 2 trees.
c. The first ever murder took place when Cain killed his brother Abel in a fit of jealousy. He was jealous because The Lord favored Abel ...they were the sons of Adam and Eve.
d. The sons of God came down to live on Earth. They took harems of human daughters to be their wives. Out of these marriages came children that had the status of gods, because some were giants and some had super powers ... Greek mythology ties in here with the stories of the Titans [the sons of God] and their children with humans [Olympians].
e. Noah had a vineyard after the flood, and he got drunk on the wine of his vineyard.
f. The different languages that earthlings speak originates from the building of Babel. All the people spoke only one language, but when they started thinking about building a tower that will reach heaven, The Lord decided to confuse them with multiple languages. The people then left Babel and scattered all over the world to start their own societies in their own language.
g. Abram and Sarah thought nothing of it to lie, in order to save Abram's life. There were two instances when they lied ... both times to two kings, telling the kings that Sarah was Abram's sister and not his wife. Abram was scared that the men would kill him for Sarah ... apparently were there a shortage of women at that time.
h. God burned down Sodom and Gomorrah with such a vengeance like we've never seen before.
i. Lot's 2 daughters made their father drunk to have intercourse with him, and had children by him.
j. The Lord tested Abraham's faith by asking Abraham to give his son as a offering to God ... but God provided an alternative offering in the end.
