A Bible study of a Thomas; Genesis 6: 1-22

Genesis 6

New International Version (NIV)

Wickedness in the World

Now this book is telling me about the wickedness in the world which world may I ask and which term of the word wicked do you mean? As there is a term that means Cool, Groovy and stuff.... What do you mean nobody uses the word groovy any more. I have just there.

6 When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with[a] humans forever, for they are mortal[b]; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”

So now all the sons that are born are to become the sons of god and all of the daughters that are born are born to become the property of these sons of god? Now that is a horrific concept. and I can’t believe that any women would even consider to become part of it is to be married to one of these men? So let me get this strait every women is beautiful, I’d agree with that generally, now the next bit gets a little confusing “and they married any of them they chose” about which section of the humans is he talking about when he says they choose But I’m thinking that he is indicating to his “sons” that they may marry any of the women that they chose this god chap isn’t too keen on equal rights now is he? Or has Yahweh grown another load of sons? Either way they’re going to die in a moment as here comes the flood. And he’s put a limit or requirement on the number years that people can live to/have to live to well I’m sorry to be a audience to you (hang on a second you liar tom you’re not sorry at all) but my grandfather the one that’s the atheist, yes the one that married a trainee Nun well he has told me his plans to live forever more. And the other one that was the church warden slightly north of here he died but he didn’t make it to 120 years.

4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

So the Nephilim ia the offspring of all of sons of god and daughters of man they were the heroes of old and the men of renown so does that mean Hercules, Horus, Moses? Don’t be absurd this is the Jewish god apparently two of them have been created by other gods, which don’t exist according to this book and the third apparently wrotr this book.

5 The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 6 The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.

Ok now I am going to bit repetitive again in stating how an all knowledgeable airy fairy entity it has a couple of gaps in his knowledge as if he did foresee this then he could have created preventive measures if he truly was an all loving/good entity. Now the lord is regretting stuff how can that be possible if he knew that he’d think that in the future why the hell did he dare that? Summery point 1 this god hasn’t created hell yet, as I don’t think that he creates the hell that we all should know after being with it by numerous people. We have to wait for the New Testament until god creates hell, I think. God is planning genocide of the earth but you’re regretting again how is that possible again? Unless you knew from the beginning this fact and god has no powers, as god has no free will. So within the world and everything happens due to the scientific laws with no help from a god and in summery god is the missing piece of a puzzle that never existed,

Noah and the Flood

9 This is the account of Noah and his family.

Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God. 10 Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth.

Yes I remember this he had then when he over 500 years old, gees that’s old to be having children, and god says what about him? He is blameless? As is the majority of the creatures that you are about to massacre out of some screwed up sense of divine justice, even though it was your fault from the start, as you made human beings so stupid that they could be outsmarted by a snake, that looked more like a lizard then a snake from the biblical story, as it had legs that god cut off, as it says in chapter 3 verse 14.

11 Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. 

But god was the one that started all of this hate up in the first place, as in genesis 3 verse 15 he sated ‘15 And I will put enmity
    between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring[a] and hers;
he will crush[b] your head,
    and you will strike his heel.” Now what does enmity mean again? Enmity means a hatred/to be actively opposed towards the other creature and you may note that god actually instructs the both of them how to act to one another, but it may just be my personal opinion but I don’t like the whole crushing of a reptiles head malarkey.

12 God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. 

All of the people had corrupted their ways? Their ways, what ways are they? If god hadn’t created human beings as such a stupid unknowledgeable entity, then god wouldn’t have a church.

13 So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.

Now god is just telling Noah his plan to destroy all of his creations that have picked up a bit too much of knowledge from you, Mr G man/Yahweh/Jehovah?

14 So make yourself an ark of cypress[c] wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. 

Now god wants a boat, couldn’t god just create a boat, for Noah? Isn’t he some all-powerful creator of everything, no blood sweat or tears within the creation of it and if he did that then we could potentially still have the boat here today as proof of it’s existence and it wouldn’t have to be made of wood I don’t know it could habe been made out of a new element like Godanium (I just made that element up) or instead out of Gold.

15 This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.[d]

as this Book instructs it should be 300 cubits long what is a Cubit? well in Hebrew there is 2 meanings to the word  cubit there is one short and a second long, the short is 44.5cm and the long is 51.8cm so I shall take the longer for both of these measurements are 300*51.8=15540cm which in turn makes 155.4m by 50*51.8=2590 which in turn makes 25.9 m and 30*51.8=1554 which in turn makes 15.54m apparently the average height of a giraffe is between 487.68m – 609.6cm which the highest average equals 11.76834 cubits.

16 Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit[e] high all around.[f] Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks. 

So god has ordered Noah to put a door in the boat and Noah has to make 3 decks for it 3 decks so he could have designed it so the three decks each take up a third of the height so 10 cubits per deck but that is discounting the top deck the but what good would a top deck be for any of the animals if it is about to rain the top deck would get flooded and they’d have to cut some of the height off of the bottom deck unless the boat had a flat base.

17 I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish.

And now he is about to flood the land which is beneath the sky, destroying all life that is alive is to die, why couldn’t he just kill all humans except Noah and his decedents, it’d be a lot more humane that way instead of whipping out all life on the earth turning it into a baron wasteland?

18 But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you. 

Covenant a word that means agreement so that Noah is to enter the ark with his three sons and then all of their wives I don’t know how many wives they each had but as it’s the Christian book of lunacy and the song the animals went into the ark 2 by 2 horror horror I shall just say one wife per son and yet more incest I am betting to get up to the 7 billion, or in British that should be 7 milliards that we have on the planet today.

19 You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. 20 Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive. 

Ok well where are all of these animals going to sleep as you couldn’t have any of them on the top deck for reasons of flooding and you’ve got to keep all of them alive so that means no two of the big cat species are allowed in the same area as of fights and no predators are allowed next to a prey, so where does that leave lion, off the boat?

21 You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.”

Every kind of food like chicken, pork, deer, pigeons, goats, cows, cod, salmon, carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, grass? Well that means fish is all that that the predatory animals are going to have to eat for at least the whole of this voyage.

22 Noah did everything just as God commanded him.

So he’s a slave, he’s a slave of god now? Free will my third leg (and yes I mean the short stumpy thing in-between my legs/penis) and just as loads of religious people say we have been given free will, and he is just saying that if this incredibly old man hadn’t been made a slave by the god of this book we’d all be dead.

Side note:
There’s a passage in the book of Mormon saying that black people/the American Indians are the decedents of Cain? Well I believe that this chapter of the bible has disproved that as it clearly states that every creature on the earth shall die unless they have descended from Noah or are on Noah's ark.

A Bible study of a Thomas; Genesis 5: 1-32

Genesis 5

New International Version (NIV)

From Adam to Noah

5 This is the written account of Adam’s family line.

So it is another family tree thing for the first male this time not Cain who was in fairness one of Adams children.

When God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of God. 2 He created them male and female and blessed them. And he named them “Mankind”[a] when they were created.

Or did mankind make god in our image? Because you cannot be male and female at the same time, well actually you can but I have forgotten the conditions name but then why is it portrayed as a he? As even if he made mankind in his image “He created them male and female” now I know I have commented on this section before but at its first time of use over in chapter 1 which indicates as well as the less formal use of the word God which brings me onto the point of a patchwork bible.

3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. 4 After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 5 Altogether, Adam lived a total of 930 years, and then he died.

If Adam (and Eve) only had his daughters after god had sent Cain away to the East where did Cain get his wife from? As he was curse by god for not fitting doing what god intended for him to do which is why god favoured his brother, Abel you don’t need a degree in phycology to work that one out so why was this all knowing god dumb struck by this? You may argue that it was Eve’s fault that this happened as she took the serpents advise and ate the apple therefore distorting gods original purpose of having us on this earth, but then if I may (which probably may not) it was gods fault for putting a tree in there that they couldn’t eat from in the first place and then he gave mankind the capacity for jealousy so much for the omnibenevolence of god, if he knew this was going to happen then he shouldn’t have bothered.

6 When Seth had lived 105 years, he became the father[b] of Enosh. 7 After he became the father of Enosh, Seth lived 807 years and had other sons and daughters. 8 Altogether, Seth lived a total of 912 years, and then he died.

Now another thing I have noticed while reading this book is the ages of all of the parents are incredibly old, when they’re incredibly old for our times when this was written the majority of people that were alive about the times that this book was originally written the average life expectancy would most probably be approximately 30-40 years. So who were the authors of this book I unfortunately don’t know, but apparently it was wrote by Moses; was Moses a schizophrenic person/a person with multiple personalities if he ever existed. Who were Seth’s mates/partners for getting his children?  As unlike Cain who has nobody to procreate with Seth’s got all of his sisters and his mother to have sexual intercourse with; which is sick and sicker. Anyway you know Adam who literally made love with his own rib to get Cain, Abel, Seth and a couple of other people to go with them.

Now I’m not sure what makes me more sick was it Adam literally making love with his rib or Seth fucking a sister, and I was using the term fucking in a scientifically correct capacity as in making love with his sisters.

9 When Enosh had lived 90 years, he became the father of Kenan. 10 After he became the father of Kenan, Enosh lived 815 years and had other sons and daughters. 11 Altogether, Enosh lived a total of 905 years, and then he died.

So Enosh lived for 90 and then he had his first born when he was old, and then in the 815 years after he had more sons and daughters if I had to die at any of the 3 ages of, 90 815 and 905 years I would choose 90 any day as if I managed to live to even 150 years can you imagine how fragile my bones would get I would be as fragile as a china doll.

12 When Kenan had lived 70 years, he became the father of Mahalalel. 13 After he became the father of Mahalalel, Kenan lived 840 years and had other sons and daughters. 14 Altogether, Kenan lived a total of 910 years, and then he died.

Kenan should be confused now as not only is his mother is technically an aunt and his father is technically his uncle, he now has to sleep with a sister or a cousin to carry on his gene chain which he does and then he gets Mehalaleh. But then he lives another hideously long length of time which is unusual as the children of an incestuous couple which all of the children would have been:

Elevated incidence of recessive genetic diseases
Reduced fertility both in litter size and in sperm viability
Increased congenital defects such as cryptorchidism, heart defects, cleft palates.
Fluctuating assymetry (such as crooked faces, or uneven eye placement and size).
Lower birthweight
Higher neonatal mortality
Slower growth rate
Smaller adult size, and
Loss of immune system function

But whichever way you look at it if this was the case we wouldn’t be here today if that was the case but my Christian friend had a good idea about Cain who typed “a local girl maybe” as an answer to the Cain dilemma so it may be another local girl that Mahalalel came out of but if what was it that then Eve Couldn’t be the mother of mankind  Genesis3: 20 “Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.”  which is a redundant title as you should already know that from this mythology it was god that created all of the animals before these two apes but in the International Standard Version (©2012) it says “Now Adam had named his wife "Eve," because she was to become the mother of everyone who was living.” which clarifies 3: 20 but that it doesn’t look very hopeful for any of the Christians that lived before 2012 God should really stop hating the Gays and get some words out correctly the first time around.

15 When Mahalalel had lived 65 years, he became the father of Jared. 16 After he became the father of Jared, Mahalalel lived 830 years and had other sons and daughters. 17 Altogether, Mahalalel lived a total of 895 years, and then he died.

Mehalaleh should have the same problems as his father but they’re getting more probable to have some of the conditions as you have the same Gene pool as with Seth’s just it has had 4/5 generations to develop depending on if you would like to Adam having sexual intercourse with his rib as incest or not.

18 When Jared had lived 162 years, he became the father of Enoch. 19 After he became the father of Enoch, Jared lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 20 Altogether, Jared lived a total of 962 years, and then he died.

Generation 5/6 without any new blood in the system incestuous levels reaching new heights and by this stage  they shouldn’t be actually be able to have a healthy child let alone one that lives to these extreme ages with the “Elevated incidence of recessive genetic diseases” and a “Loss of immune system function” but I’ll give them this much it took him 162 years to manage to get his first child it’s a sign of the ”Reduced fertility both in litter size and in sperm viability” taking its toll but then I have got to take it away from them straight away as he had other sons and daughters in the following 800 years, if I lived as long as he did according to this mythology before he had his first child I should try having sexual intercourse with a woman that is living and see what happens to me then I bet I’ll die.

21 When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah. 22 After he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked faithfully with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters. 23 Altogether, Enoch lived a total of 365 years.24 Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.

As if I’d look at this again the suspected signs of the “Reduced fertility both in litter size and in sperm viability” have seemed to have dissipated and just look at the age of this one when he had his first son exactly the same age as Mehalaleh only 2 generations earlier so another reason why I do not give them credit for something that could be classed as scientifically accurate, But it could just down to when he actually “made love” to his mate that

25 When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he became the father of Lamech. 26 After he became the father of Lamech, Methuselah lived 782 years and had other sons and daughters. 27 Altogether, Methuselah lived a total of 969 years, and then he died.

Methuselah lived 187 years before he became the father of Lamech, but I have got another Idea that could be another reason for the lateness of getting wives pregnant within the 5/6^th generation and this generation, the 7/8^th, of incest.it could be that these people were too busy on working the land and herding the livestock to think about the “recreational” activity of sex.

28 When Lamech had lived 182 years, he had a son. 29 He named him Noah[c] and said, “He will comfort us in the labor and painful toil of our hands caused by the ground the Lord has cursed.”30 After Noah was born, Lamech lived 595 years and had other sons and daughters. 31 Altogether, Lamech lived a total of 777 years, and then he died.

So Noah was a direct descendant of Adam in the ninth generation just as everyone else who is alive today? Now this book is absurd, but I know what is going to happen next, approximately, as god is about to throw a hissy fit and drown everyone on the face of the earth except Noah his triplets and whoever else is in Noah’s direct decedents.

32 After Noah was 500 years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham and Japheth.

Lamech who’s Noah’s father was 182 when Noah was born, which should mean that he was 682 by the time that he became a Grandfather to the three mentioned above. He only has 95 more years to live. While the 10^th generation is alive so the flood must happen when Noah is at least 595 during the first day of the rains which lasted for 40 days and 40 nights and then then we’ll know that it was god that killed Lamech in the flood, the omnibenevolence of this god has just flow half way across the universe. I admit that the three that I have dubbed triplets probably aren’t triplets.

A Bible study of a Thomas; Genesis 4: 1-26

Genesis 4

New International Version (NIV)

Cain and Abel

Ok so it’s the story of Cain and Abel is this story the one in which they magic up a whole load of wives, for themselves?

4 Adam[a] made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain.[b] She 

said, “With the help of the Lord I have brought forth[c] a man.” 2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. 

So far they have made love once and had twins seems reasonable but the whole time frame seems to be off a bit for that to be a case and yes they did know about twins while this was being written, I give you the tale of Romulus and Remus/ the twins that ended in creating Rome, but it only became Rome as Remus died he was killed by his brother, sounds similar to the story of Cain and Able but the Roman god Mars impregnated a woman But in this version a woman is impregnated by a man that thought of himself as a god.

3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. 4 And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast

So god hates fruit and vegetables but he likes some creature that Abel has just killed as an offering, now please allow me to put this in another context god that supposedly loves the creature ignores some perfectly decent fruit and vegetables and he moves onto an animal that he has created and this brute, Abel, has senselessly murdered and offered it to god, a life has been lost it doesn’t matter what it was that lost its life the fact remains that a short time after he was given flocks to look after he has murdered one of the first born,

6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.”

Why do you think it’s simple phycology you favoured his brother more than him, as if hang on, you actually favoured his brother but you forgot to favour him for doing the work that you asked him to do, and you knew what was about to happen so you’re as bad as Cain, as part of your all-knowing persona unless you aren’t Omniscience.

8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.”[d]While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

So within this tale Cain kills Abel sounds like Romulus and Remus all over again so now we have 2 dead things so far in this story so if he offered his dead brother to god, do you think god would favour Cain?

9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”

“I don’t know,” he replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”

Once again there is another bit of proof that god is neither omniscience or omnipresent, or he would have known where Abel was and he may have been a tiny bit discrete about it e.g. by saying what have you done to Abel, but then Can would have lied by saying nothing and then I think it’s time for god to throw a temper tantrum like the one he is just about to have.

10 The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground. 11 Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12 When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.”

Now he has got it but the bit about the blood crying out to you god is bogus it wouldn’t have cried out to you as it has no mouth but you may have just caught a glimpse of blood on the hands of Cain and then you put 2 and 8 together and got to an answer of 10.

13 Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is more than I can bear. 14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”

But to where is he going? If god was really omnipresent shouldn’t that be a hassle for Cain.

15 But the Lord said to him, “Not so[e]; anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over.” Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. 16 So Cain went out from the Lord’s presence and lived in the land of Nod,[f]east of Eden.

Talking about Cain in third person whilst he is still beside you? The land of Nod? Isn’t that the imaginary place of sleep? East of Eden wasn’t Eden supposed to be in the east?

17 Cain made love to his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was then building a city, and he named it after his son Enoch. 18 To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael was the father of Methushael, and Methushael was the father of Lamech.

Where did Cain find his wife, then Enoch fathered Irad how, then Irad fathered Mehujael and then Methusael fathered Lamech something is missing I think ok now yes obviously what about all of the women that had to mother all of them and you can’t just say that they all Just went to Eve and raped her every time they wanted children as that would be a great way to muck up our gene pool and shouldn’t Eve had died a couple of generation ago? Anyway Cain was sent away from Eve and how did Cain get a wife to start with?

19 Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah. 20 Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who live in tents and raise livestock. 21 His brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play stringed instruments and pipes. 22 Zillah also had a son, Tubal-Cain, who forged all kinds of tools out of[g] bronze and iron. Tubal-Cain’s sister was Naamah.

Where did Lamech get his two women from? I’m sure quite a few of the other myths that aren’t as widely publicised as this are a lot easier to follow.

23 Lamech said to his wives,

“Adah and Zillah, listen to me;
    wives of Lamech, hear my words.
I have killed a man for wounding me,
    a young man for injuring me.

You’ve killed a man which man which man even lives within these parts of the earth as I was thinking that your family being as it is the first family to exist, at least in these barbaric times, at least since Lamech is the youngest male within this part of the world.
 

24 If Cain is avenged seven times,
    then Lamech seventy-seven times.”

But why, what is the point?

25 Adam made love to his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth,[h] saying, “God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.” 26 Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh.

At that time people began to call on[i] the name of the Lord.

Meanwhile back in time to the time of Adam and Eve as the story just took a sharp turn off towards Cain’s family in the future and then back we have Seth, but this time Seth is a replacement? Why didn’t god just breathe life back into his corpse? Why did he force her to go through the pain of childbirth again? Why does she use the words, “God has granted me another child” so that’s three children that Eve has got?

A Bible study of a Thomas; Genesis 3: 1-24

Genesis3

New International Version (NIV)

The Fall

By this title I think it means Adam and Eve’s fall from paradise not the autumn (the season before winter)

3 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”

But if god created it with all of that craftiness inside of him but he didn’t tell either of the humans what to look out for as he knew that all of this was inevitable if he didn’t intervene so if he really did love us he should have stopped them by not having a giant tree with the forbidden fruit on it in the first place and I am also confused about why they haven’t got any children yet either as didn’t god say at the beginning that he wanted them to “be fruitful and increase in number fill the earth and sub...” Genesis 1: 28, but if he loves us so much why does he make a snake, yes I’m typing about those little worm like things have more common sense than the first human woman I’d feel insulted on her behalf if she was real.

2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”

So your allowed to eat any tree from inside the garden which is on a flat earth with one river that has four tributaries feeding it but he four tributaries divide the land up into four districts but that doesn’t account for the fifth land mass as you may have the four tributaries but then where is it supposed to go supposed to go when they have all met up at the mouth of the biggest river, but I have had an idea which would only work if you made sea mean river, but that wouldn’t work as he has declared them as two separate entities.

4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Well it depends what you mean by certainly die because death is the only thing in this life that is certain, I mean it’s not certain that you’ll even live one day or that you’ll ever be kissed, hit, laugh, cry, fail or succeed but if by certain god meant immediately then I have to say that god is the liar not the snake.

6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

So basically both of them have now eaten the fruit and they have realised that they are naked so they have made some rudimentary underwear for themselves Adam was probably wondering why his never regions were probably in a lot of pain by about now with all of that rambling that he has been doing to get around without his privates protected. Eve would be finding similar pains but I am unsure so I’ll ask some female friends. I asked 5 of my female friends on Facebook and one of them has blocked me for asking the question, I’m still waiting for two of them to answer, one answered yes I recon so and then the final one answered erm I don’t think so.

8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”

God is walking now? So he must have a body as well as a sprit, I know that he supposedly looks like us as we are made in his image or is it the other way around as he was in spirit form when he first created us so maybe that is his natural appearance and he just made himself look like us as that is more acceptable to our primitive minds or maybe, I think this one is the actual one, when these stories where created the man that created this character decided that to make him a more powerful leader he needed the backing of another man that no one could question.

10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”

But why isn’t god supposed to be naked as well at this time?

11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”

By the way god you’re supposedly all-knowing creator of all you should know as you were supposed to be around by them at the time as part of your omnipresence.

12 The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

Pass the blame why don’t you very chivalrous of you, I think not. No honour between thieves I think as proven by this bible passage, or at least no honour between two human beings.

13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”

Ok so god is taking sides now when he already knows what happened or is he really that blind, so much for the omniscience of god.

The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

Let’s pass the blame, why couldn’t either of you two just have said sorry instead of passing the blame. It just gets exhausting.

14 So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,

“Cursed are you above all livestock
    and all wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
    and you will eat dust
    all the days of your life.

What so snakes used to walk, on legs but aren’t there still today creatures that look a little like snakes but they walk called crocodiles? But anyway snakes don’t eat the dust they eat many things but not the dust,
 
15 And I will put enmity
    between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring[a] and hers;
he will crush[b] your head,
    and you will strike his heel.”

Enmity a word meaning a hatred being actively opposed towards the other creature or hostile towards it, now that is one passage has just shown me that god was the thing in the bible that initiated hate not the snake, but god

16 To the woman he said,

“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;
    with painful labor you will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for your husband,
    and he will rule over you.”

Cruel and technically from gods perspective irrelevant, as he created woman to accompany man as a lesser being than man to start with hence why he took a bone out of Adams ribcage instead of creating them at the same time, at least myself and many of the others like myself respect women, they’re rights and as equals to one’s self, if not my betters like all seem to be to me sems a bit harsh for Gods mistakes

17 To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’

“Cursed is the ground because of you;
    through painful toil you will eat food from it
    all the days of your life.

This punishment seems a bit more lenient than his previous punishments as he has cut off the snake legs made all of Eves offspring hate snakes and he has ordered them to kill snakes by gruesome means, smashing the snakes heads in I think that is relatively gruesome, and for Eve that you hadn’t properly prepared for that type of existence, by this I mean leaving out all critical expectations that a normal human being of the 20^th/21^st would be expected to follow, so that being as it is I think that is Adam getting off lightly.
 
18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
    and you will eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your brow
    you will eat your food
until you return to the ground,
    since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
    and to dust you will return.”

Now apparently we came from dust I have heard people say we came from the dirt and from clay before but never dust, except from a YouTube clip that said we all came from star dust which he explains that it means the elements that make up our bodies are created by stars and every so often in a solar flare or such like happens those elements are released into space but our planet has collected enough of these particles to sustain the life forms that we see today while we are living on its surface.

20 Adam[c] named his wife Eve,[d] because she would become the mother of all the living.

Oh how touching Adam thinks of himself as god.

21 The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. 22 And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” 23 So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side[e] of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

Why has he created another tree one to make whoever eats it immortal, so to get to the garden of Eden you have to travel east and when you reach the garden of Eden you have to go east again and eat a fruit from a tree which is guarded by angels and a flaming sword something like that should be hard to miss especially now there are those eyes in the sky, satellites, but still noting is there I think a very old book is lying once more.

A Bible study of a Thomas; Genesis 2: 1-25

Genesis 2

New International Version (NIV)

2 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. 2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

Are they, really? Well the earth isn’t completed if humans are on it changing it to this day. Unless the text meant that god had finished with it, as he could do no more, so therefore he has no power now? Work, he calls that work if that’s his work I wouldn’t mind taking his job, as it’s simple you only have to think about a new world for it to be created and you could bet that my worlds sciences would be faultless against my religious texts.

Adam and Eve

4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.

Well we’ve just had the creation of the earth and isn’t it hilarious how people used to believe the most preposterous stuff... what some people still do believe the fore mentioned stuff, someone kill me now please.

5 Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth[a] and no plant had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, 

Hang on a minute I thought that he had created life, plant  life, on the surface of earth earlier in the story just after he 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.” didn’t he? Or are there two separate gods or maybe a two different earths? Anyway if it is the same earth we have arrived at the 3^rd day.

6 but streams[b]came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. 

Ok now he’s doing a little spot of gardening to water the surface of earth the surface of earth that had just been created between two layers of water, which really should be wet enough; never mentioned on any of the 6 days creation.

7 Then the Lord God formed a man[c] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

But within the previous chapter the text says that he created them, both male and female, at the same time as you’re the almighty god and you can do whatever you want couldn’t he so now it’s the 4^th day?

8 Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. 

Now the east will be Asia as that is what is east if you look as the world as it is on the maps, well your hardly going to say that it is in Manchester or America as the early authors of the bible didn’t know that America existed they probably though that if you went far enough east you’d fall off the edge? Also never mentioned in the 6 days of creation,

9 The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Now the second chapter of genesis wasn’t written by the same author as the first this is obvious as in the first it says “God” did something now God has been elevated to “Our Lord God” Now it could be that in the early days of the church they had many separate editions of this certain chapter and they got them mixed up and muddled up in translation?

10 A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. 

A river watering? That’s not what river do they flow collecting the water not giving it back to the land along its route towards a body of water e.g. a sea. This river separated into 4 head waters, what is a headwater? Well it’s a tributary and a tributary is a small stream that flows into a lager river.

11 The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin[d]and onyx are also there.) 

Pishon? Halvilah? Where there is gold, what is so good about gold, that was actually known about during the time that the bible was written and they probably thought of it as a “pretty” substance? Onyx is the rock/stone that looks “pretty” seems like they have just taken two “pretty” looking substances and put them in the place which looks like the Norse word Valhalla, the final resting place of warriors that died in combat.

13 The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush.[e] 14 The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

Hang on second you said that there was four headwaters (tributaries) that fed into one river on this earth but now you have stated that there’s four rivers, I know that it’s only semantics that I am really critiquing at this point but this is the bible shouldn’t these tales be the words of a creature that is on a separate level of existence to us that knows how we think he should have at least dictated a flawless account.

15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 

Now god wants “the man”, Adam, to look after the earth that god has just created now two things one what about Lilith and two how is he going to increase in number without a female?

16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 

So he has got all trees in the garden to eat from.

17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”

Why did you put that tree in the first place if you know what’s going to happen if you do that as for gods own sanity if you know what’s going to happen if you put a tree and your saying that you could eat from any tree but not that one that is enough to drive anyone insane, and by saying you’ll certainly die how is the man supposed to know what dying and death is if nothing has died yet?

18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”

But he has already had one female companion.

19 Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 

20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals.

But for Adam[f] no suitable helper was found.

What about a dog some say that its man’s best friend?

21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs[g] and then closed up the place with flesh. 

Now god is drugging his servant and performing unsolicited surgery.

22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib[h] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

23 The man said,

“This is now bone of my bones
    and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called ‘woman,’
    for she was taken out of man.”

The man is naming what the woman is to be called not god, worrying as the man thinks of himself as god.

24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.

Why must a man when he leaves his mother and father and become united with his wife how one sided is that statement? It has shown that the bible was one constructed by men to keep women submissive to the male, authority figure.

25 Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.
Why, should they? They have been hand crafted by the almighty in his own image, or so the Bible tells us. Now the thing about this passage from the bible that annoys me most is the assertion that the natural human form is shameful, Which I have several problems with one should be the fact that as we have lost our hair over the millennia’s that we have spent evolving from our primate ancestors into the primates we see today, we have lost the majority of our body hair and just our natural bodies became more suited to the conditions that where around the equator/where we lived those many thousands of years ago but back then all of us would have probably been black as the harshness of the light made it so unlike the drawings of Adam and Eve the first humans probably weren’t white and then as the human virus spread out across the world towards cooler pastures clothing became essential for the winter within those places and just give it 40,000 years or so, and here we are. The 40,000 isn’t an estimate or anything scientific I just picked 40,000 as like that number,

But now I’m thinking a bit more about in gods own image but what is gods image? I could show you a whole load of artists impressions of what whoever is doing the painting thinks him out to be but I am thinking that I should take the bibles words exactly on this topic as it said earlier on in the book that god was a spirit. But then a Roman Catholic friend of mine, but she prefers to think of herself as a plain Catholic without the Roman in front, said to me that it was about his morality and stuff like that I think that I’m remembering what she told me correctly, as I believe that I agreed that that made some form of sense but I don’t think that we were thinking of the same examples, as I was thinking about the Nazis with they’re slogan “Gott Mit Uns” (God With Us) printed on their belts, but I bet she was thinking about her little congregation.
