Genesis 1

I have both heard and read there were some strange things to
be found in the Bible if you read it with an open mind. The things
I’m referring to are not exactly what you would hear in church
or any Bible study group, or at least not the way you would hear
it. But, these differences are right there in the Bible (the King
James and I suppose other versions). You wouldn’t even be
taught such things in any seminar that I’ve ever heard about.

When I began to explore the Bible to examine it as open minded
as possible concerning these things I had heard about and read
about, I began to feel like I had been lied too about so many things.
So, I decided to put it down in print here to show what I found and
possibly open up a few cans of worms in the process.

I don’t intend to write down every single verse in the Bible, just
the ones that sort of jump out in front of me. So, with that said –
fasten your seat belts, we’re going on a ride through time on an
imaginary starship back to the Bible days beginning where I did
in Genesis. My notes will be in the brackets.

[1] In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
[Notice here the word God is used, not Darwin’s law of evolution.]

[2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was
upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the
face of the waters.

[3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

[4] And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the
light from the darkness.

[5] And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.
And the evening and the morning were the first day.

[6] And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the
waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

[7] And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which
were under the firmament from the waters which were above
the firmament: and it was so.

[8] And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and
the morning were the second day.

[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.

[10] And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together
of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

[11] And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding
seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is
in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

[12] And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed
after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself,
after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

[13] And the evening and the morning were the third day.

[14] And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the
heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for
signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

[15] And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven
to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

[16] And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the
day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

[17] And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give
light upon the earth,

[18] And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide
the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

[19] And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

[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.

[21] And God created great whales, and every living creature
that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after
their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw
that it was good.

[22] And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply,
and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

[23] And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

[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.

[25] And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and
cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the
earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
[Now here is one place I was referring to where things are not
exactly as we are taught. Bear in mind, this is the fifth day. That
is important to remember.]

[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.

[27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God
created he him; male and female created he them.
[In his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and
female created he them. Now, just what sex or gender is this
God? Those in the medical field will tell you (and they have proof),
that everyone starts out as female when conceived? I may get
into this more later on.]

[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.
[Replenish, this word means to fill again – key word is "AGAIN".
Which means, it "Can Not" be "AGAIN" if it hasn’t already been
at least once before.]

[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.

[30] And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air,
and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there
is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
[Where did Poison Ivy come from? Evidently Poison Ivy was
different back then, or it developer later. Anyone that knows
anything at all about that stuff knows it is bad business. Poison
Ivy is green, but don’t try to eat it like you would any other herb.
It would kill you. It’s not the only poisonous green plant on earth,
but its one to be avoided.]

[31] And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it
was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth
day.
