A Bible study of a Thomas; Genesis 1: 1-31

Genesis 1
New International Version (NIV)

The Beginning

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
What happened to the sun, stars and the entire void of space around us? The beginning of what the universe or just the earth? From a cursory glance I think it means the earth and on one of the days it creates the rest of the universe.

2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
So now the earth is looking like a lump of earth, no that would be a form so what does the earth look like formless and dark over the deep? What is the deep, is it the seas and oceans? Especially as this this spirit of God is over the waters, and before that moment it doesn’t mention any such thing as water even being created.

3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
Now there is light so has it created the sun now, or what; is it glowing?

4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
Now the light is good apparently, I would never have guessed from the harm that the light can cause, by that I mean skin cancer and all of the other bad things that can come from the light (but admittedly there is more plus points to light than negative but I wouldn't go as far as the authors of this primitive book and say that light is good).

5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
So now it’s naming the two instances of night and day without saying how the day and night is formed, so from what it has been said the day and a formless world are the only two things that have been created by the God character and the night but I wouldn't actually say that he created that as it was more of a side effect to creating the light and it has only named it.

6 And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.”
But now it is saying that it has created two waters of which I am guessing are the ocean/seas/rivers/lakes/any other natural body of water and the other is the sky as both of them appear blue (at least during the God ordained daytime) But should I assume that the vault between the two instances of water is called the earth? I shall continue now as it was.

7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. 
So now god has stopped talking to its self and is now actually doing some work such a lazy little so and so is this god shouldn’t he have been able to do all of this in the first second.

8 God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
Now God is saying that it took god one complete day to create sky, seas/oceans, and land what hope does it have in creating the rest of the majestic universe in the following 6 days,

9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. 
So now it’s talking to its self again whilst it’s talking to its self if I could just do a round up on what it has created so far   it has created:
1.       the heavens
2.       the earth
But so far it’s all formless and from somewhere water has appeared.
3.       light
But he has created Light just without a source it’s starting to sound like a blank piece of paper that the world it’s that blank piece of paper I understand where the flat earth people get it from now
4.       it has now separated the light from the dark
But the way it has been done seems to me like it’s just separated then as if it was just switching a light switch on and off and doesn't put the time into put more detail about the shape or he light source.
5.       Now it has separated the waters from the waters by creating a vault between
I should guess that this is the earth that beneath our feet/the surface of this planet, but the book has yet to mention that we are on a planet or even the sun. But hadn't it already created the earth, I give you point 2 on my check-list
6.       it has now created 3 different earth/grounds
The first was called earth the second was called a vault and finally it was called the ground,

10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
Now God has got a gender and it’s/he’s male but he doesn't seem to be the brightest bulb in the box, as he has called the waters seas all of them what about the oceans ans natural underground reservoirs  and all the 
lakes and rivers.

11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so.
Ok now he’s talking to himself again, I'm getting worried

12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 
God is never a self-critic I bet he would do terribly at the Chelsea flower show

13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.
So day three already

14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. 
Ok so he’s now created the stars, I think but he has done it in a way that makes it seems like he has drawn a picture and he has just splashed a bit of paint on the picture in some places for stars in the one day and he managed to place them so far away from this planet that it’d take longer than the biblical account allows for all of the stars in the sky to be viewable by today let alone back when the earth was created.

16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.
But now he’s creating the sun about time and I am guessing that the second light is the moon which isn't in actual fact a light it’s little more than an asteroid that did get taken into orbit of the Earth due to the stronger gravitational pull of earth and the reason that it shines is that it is reflecting the sunlight from across the other side of earth onto the surface of earth.  You can count on God to give us all an incorrect definition on what something is and then go on about how pleased he is as I wrote earlier he never admits that he may be wrong about something, when in fact he has been incorrect about approximately the complete creation thing so far, 3 days down 4 to go.

19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day. 20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.” 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.  22 God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” 
So now what has god done? He’s created birds and given them one purpose which is to procreate and fill the sky, and just fish sea life but I'm unsure about the fish but it would seem likely that he should create some fish at the same time as what are the birds that are carnivorous  going to eat other than each other. But he hasn't ordered all of the creatures to increase (procreate) so now only the birds are eating the fish and everything else but the fish aren't increasing in number so all the  fish would have died out.

23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.
Evening and morning are the two of the concept that from a biblical perspective I'm still having trouble as to how they appear. As isn't your god character just switching off and turning on the light via a switch any more.

24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. 
So it’s the sixth day and what does he do, he’s is talking to himself about the creatures that are to populate his little pile of earth between two waters. But he still hasn't given the same idea as he gave to the birds to the birds the idea to increase/procreate.

25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
God has now created wild animals and livestock- weren't livestock wild animals as well until they were captured and bred by humans to create another source of food and clothing?

26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
God is talking to himself as if he was talking to someone else as well, hence our not my, who was the other that he was talking to Satan? No he won’t be talking to him at least until he has created the angels as that is what he was isn't it?

27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
So he has created us all in his own image twice once forward and the second time backwards. And he has created us in both of our forms, male and female, so that should be Adam and Eve shouldn't it? No it will be Adam but Eve was created from Adams rib wasn't she... I found her name on a YouTube video it was her name was Lilith and then follow the next link and discover.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvKztNw5Mbc
But the first of these three statements about him making us all in HIS own image I have thought about this insane notion for a long time and none of the assertions make any sense as we aren't all male incredibly old with white hair on our heads and a white beard I am typing about the pictures of god that could find if you did a google image search for god. the one with the nice beard.

28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
God has blessed them and he has given the same instruction to them as he did to the birds he has given the idea to procreate or alternately he meant increase in size but I don’t think that is what he intended else-wise you’d have obese birds and Adam and Lilith throughout the rest of this chapter.

29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.
So generous this god freak is he’s given the earth to everything that that lives on the earth. But hadn't he already given dominion over all things to his ”look a likes” Adam and Lilith, now that is just rude and for forcing every single living creature to eat only fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, 

31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
Now you might get a hint from the last verse in this chapter that the God chap may just be a little pleased with his earth that he has created in 6 days a quite considerably quicker than the more natural .alternative and a lot slower than any god with half a brain cell of his own could do it in, let’s all admit it we could imagine a new world in our brains and it’d take less time than the god of the bible/Yahweh has taken to create his earth from the power of thought and it would be a lot more detailed than the one made up by the old folks of biblical origin, but I know that the original authors of the bible were probably about 20 years old.

A Bible study of a Thomas; About the name & index

About the name:

The first part of the name is “A Bible Study” because that is what it is a study of the book that you may have sworn over if you have ever gone to court. The second part is equally as obvious but I choose the second words “of a Thomas” partly as it’s my name (my full name is Thomas Savage but I prefer to refer to myself as Tom) and the other reason is there is a character in the New Testament called Thomas and whom was “disgraced” by Jesus for using his brain and doubting 'Jesus’ supposed resurrection.


Now in this book study it shall be my, no more valid no less valid than the people that sit in pulpits preaching this stuff to you, it is going to be an opinion driven article my probably irrelevant opinion, to you at least. now the only reason I decided to do this was because I to know what was actually in the bible in context, so I though that I would share what I have found, it’s  no definitive  unless you want my personal definitive take on the bible which it shall be when I’ve completed it.

So please do not read on if you’re a diehard Christian apologist (defender of your faith) you may not like what your about to read but if you do chose to read on and you may even wish me some actual harm. But anyone with at least a cursory glance of the first book knows the story of Noah and his ark and the level of incest within this world would be unbearable as you would be sleeping with your sister or cousin in order to get the world populated again. 

I choose the New International Version (NIV) as I thought that it says that it’s international so then no matter what country of the world you come from you may have read some of it, You might get a bit peeved with my almost incessant nit picking of the scripture but ask yourself If you where the author of a book that is supposed to mean everything to everyone for thousands of years in the future aren’t you going to put as much verifiable data as possible into it, you can’t just have faith in the irrationality of human beings to especially as you were all knowing from the start, so if you were even real and not just a monster that was created in humanities infancy?

But you can read the original text of this version by clicking on, or copy and pasting, the following link.

I am going to put an Index directly beneath this paragraph of text so you can get to the latest entry almost as soon as it’s uploaded if you favourite/bookmark this page and you get to onto this webpage then you may as well just subscribe but then you’d have the usual that I am posting as well.

Do I know anyone that is a good comic book artist?

I am asking this as I'm thinking that I'm going to need someone that is a good comic book artist as I am writing a comic book at the moment, yes you did read that correct I am writing a book which is made up from pictures except from the speech bubbles/thought squares and the other bit's of text.

I am fitting it like a script, but it do it's not a script as a script, if it was a script I probably wouldn't put as much detail in about the background and I might put a bit into on how the words are said, plus with scripts you generally have to deal with multiple people, which looks to me like a lot more effort than us having one person tell what I'm after from a scene/picture.

So is anyone brave enough to audition for this job? 

But I know that I have advertised this a job but here's the catch I'm not expecting to get a return on this project so please don't expect to get paid for doing this it is more of a project for show-off s and what I am looking to show off is someone's awesome drawing skills and a limited spectrum of my imagination, only as broad as ranging from psychopathic to bland with a little bit of interesting in-between.

It's a thought box ["By bland I literally mean as I enjoy a good long game of chess,"]

So who wants to give it a go? Now the audition will comprise of me telling you to draw something and then if you'd draw it good enough you get the job unless I get more than one entry and then I'll have the potentially hard task of picking out a best one.

But I'll have more information on the subject when I actually make the post that shall have all the an actual application form for this position on it.

So please may you comment on this blog article and I shall get back to you with the information the drawing assessment/the of thing that I want you to draw, so please comment below.

I doesn't matter if you are only decent at drawing pictures free hand or on a computer but you should have a method of getting it onto a computer if it's by scanning or taking a digital photograph
