Part 6 - A spirit within a Spirit amongst spirits...

Books! One of the greatest sources of knowledge but also one of the greatest sources of misinterpretations.

We create books for everything. A humorist in Quebec, who's scene name is "Louis T", did a small stand up comedy scene talking about religions. He drove the audience to 2 religions in Quebec. The strongest majority which are Christians but also the presence of Jedi. He made a comical side quote about Jedi being based off a movie, he added that the other religions are based off books making it sound that neither is better than the other when comparing sources.

There are many books talking about the Bible, about people giving their insights into what they so-call studies of the Bible. I spoke with a very good man who studied philosophy and theology to be able to speak to those with high vocabulary and high studies, his name is David Haines. We talked about children and how he was a bit concerned about how simple things in life can just be complicated. We talked about children pooping, yes, we did. About how we simply wipe ourselves when done BUT, children have a hard time understanding the concept and it needs to be explained in detail.

Here's the instructions about what to do once you are done pooping: Wipe yourself!

Here's what the child will do: Wipe once, stand up, pull up his/her pants, continue to the daily activities.

PROBLEM: The child starts to smell awkward right after the number 2 bathroom event. WHY? Well, the instruction was NOT clear. Wipe, we said, the instruction should have been to wipe with some new toilet paper chunks UNTIL the toilet paper stays the same color as before you started wiping meaning that you're all clean! Again, other people, more willing would say that I am still not precise enough, but you get the point here.

Mr. Haines, being an intellectual person with his degrees, was kind of bored about those too simple things in life. But he did learn that we all start initially with simple things needing to be taught in details to understand. This man has so much love for his kids, it was a beautiful conversation I had with him and I have have some good time with this guy even if those moments were brief.

So, how does this relate to the Bible? Well, I'll add this for us, adults. We have ANOTHER problem that is the OPOSITE of this example. We have a tendency to stay in that child stage when expressing ourselves or writing about something. AND boy! Are we soo good at that. This is actually part of our protection mechanism and also part of our pride mechanism. We tend to over-explain things with many examples to prove our points and win in whatever idea war is happening during this conversation. The Bible has the exact same process and God has had the exact same problems with humans in a much bigger event, The Creation and management of humanity!

1. God Created everything we know (Creation)
2. Humans disobeyed and wanted wisdom (Eve eats forbidden fruit)
3. Humans killed each other (Cain kills his brother)
4. God repents and floods everything (Noah's Arc)
5. Humans make projects altogether without developing more (Building of the Babel Tower)
6. God changes the languages and spreads humans on earth (end of the Babel Tower)
7. God gives the 10 commandments amongst many other commandments (Moses)
8. Jesus is born (Virgin Mary)
9. Jesus is crucified (Crucifixion)
10. God destroys the whole univers and creates a totally new world (Apocalypse)

That is how the Bible can be resumed. Now, you may ask, WHY did I choose these events to resume the Bible? Well, let's first talk about how God is described in Genesis:

Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

In red is highlighted one of the most important things in the entire Bible. It is the foundation of what man should know of himself. And THAT statement has been re-inforced in the new testament by Jesus himself right here:

John 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

This statement refers to these verses in the old testament:

Psalms 82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

Isaiah 41:23 Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.

NOW, ONE huge interpretation widely preached by pastors and they DO enforce this, it's the fact that gods is used with a LOWERCASE "g" while as God is considered THE name of the Creator making all of what pertains to God have a capitalized initial letter making man as gods NOT God himself.  Also, may I note that Isaiah has a context of man being bad in their ways and that this book is mainly about prophecies but I won't talk about this here, I just wanted to point out where there are references of "ye are gods". But still, this is an important portion to understand about the Bible.

Now, let's focus a bit on this concept of God creating humans in his own image. I never really heard anyone preach about this very crucial detail about God. I mean, this detail brings a whole new view of who God is, the Creator. I always prefer to say Creator for those of other religions. I may be decorticating some Christian Bible stuff, but I still think that many of the things I write here still pertains to other religions as well on different levels. So, the Creator created man in his own image. Well, what is the image of the Creator. That would be a very good thing to know to begin our understanding.

Most Christians will undoubtebly admit without questioning that Jesus is Son of God. That the 3 persons in God are:

God, the Father
God, the Son (Jesus)
God, the Holy Spirit

Most Catholics will actually use those to produce the sign of the cross on their chests and sometimes have an ending sign on their forehead as a form of swearing, honoring or accepting the authority. So, let's get into some Bible references about what God is, or what image shall we have of him. AND, I will start as early as Genesis and the Creation:

Exodus 31:3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,

Exodus 35:31 And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;

Numbers 24:2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him.

Job 27:3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;

I brought forth these 4 verses for 1 major reason. These are the 4 places where the word "spirit: is NOT capitalised. Another thing may I also put down in note is in Job, apparently, the spirit of God is in his....NOSTRILS.... The others talks about being "filled by" or the spirit "coming upon". So the spirit of God can dwell in awkward places... That left aside, let's see the capitalised Spirit places and more over, these particular verses:

1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

There are many places where Spirit of God is mentioned, but these places are the closest to what I could find about being filled by, or in this case having it dwell in you. Did you get the difference? One is being FILLED by, while the other is DWELLING. Let's put some more modern and simple English words here. One is considered a being that can live with you or within you. BUT, one last little detail itches a lot and that is the verse in Job where it states that "the spirit of God came upon him". Making the non capitalised AND the capitalised a form of being.

The reason I bring this detail up is because there are many arguments about differences between the capitalised and non-capitalised words. Making capitalisation a formal name. But here, we are talking about one of the most important figures of the Bible being the Spirit of God and for so-called Christians swearing upon the Bible, stopping on a detail as little as a capitalised word can bring some very big controversies.

So, WHAT is the Spirit of God? What does the Spirit of God do? What is the role of the Spirit of God? Why swear by such a Spirit without understanding it's purpose or WHO that is? Well, here is something very interesting and clear about how that particular spirit operates.

Job 27:3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.

2 Chronicles 15:1 And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:
2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.

1 Corinthians 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Ezekiel 11:24 Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
25 Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shewed me.
Ezekiel 12:1 The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying,

Romans 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

I put in red the key things to know about what the Spirit does. Most of what is seen is that the spirit of God is associated with speech. BUT, not any speech, speech that comes FROM God. Another detail is that the Spirit of God is also responsible for doing when looking at the words "went", "be" and "deeds" relating the Spirit of God to actions. And we also see a tiny portion of knowledge. It's logical to think that you cannot speak without a certain degree of knowledge. But the 2 main points are that anyone that has touched or has within the spirit of God will act and speak in a certain way.

There is just one tiny detail to finalise concerning the Spirit of God. That detail is the Holy Ghost. Here is a VERY popular verse that many Christians use to base their belief in the 3 persons in God:

Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

The Holy Ghosts is mentioned ONLY in the new testament. In no place is it written in the old testament about this entity.

Luke 1:41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

Luke 4:1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
...
4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
...
8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
...
12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

Acts 9:17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.

Acts 4:8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
9 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

We see a strong emphasis on speech here again. A little detail hurts my eyes and that is, this verse:

1 Corinthians 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

Why in the worl did they want to mess us up by adding the Spirit of God and the Holy Ghost in the same verse? And why have a differenciation between Spirit of God and Holy Ghost? Why make things simple? There is though ONE difference between Spirit of God and Holy Ghost which we can see in this verse:

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

This gives a very clear definition of who the Holy Ghost is. The Holy Ghost is a comforter. BUT, another thing has to be denoted and THAT will be the subject of 1 of the 2 next articles.

As stated, "the Father will send in my name". Meaning that the Father speaks in Jesus' name making Jesus an utter most superiority. But again, we have this verse just before:

John 14:24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

John 14:31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

This makes us believe that the Father's word predominates over Jesus' word and that Jesus is under the Authority of the Father. But again, in verse 26, the Father speaks in Jesus' name. Jesus is the human link to the Father. This is a little insight into the next part of this series.

For now, we must understand who God is. God has a spirit and that spirit is responsible for actions and speech and some knowledge. The Holy Ghost could be considered another word for Spirit of God, but it would not make sens to change the first verse in the Bible like this:

Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Holy Ghost moved upon the face of the waters.

The reason I am writing this is to let you know that words do mean something but any man that says they preach the word of God cannot definitely say that it IS the word of God. All we know from the spiritual world is hidden and unknown. We can attempt to figure out how and what things are, but it still does not remove the fact that our knowledge cannot go further than what we are capable of knowing. So are these words speculations? Is the Bible a fairy tale? A book is written by knowledge and that knowledge is transcripted from what one perceives and understands. You may say that it can also be written from your imagination. But again, imagination and creation comes from a real world desire, reality or truth presented in a form of story to emphasise a human tangible reality.

If God created us at his image, then the image of God has a spirit so we all have a spirit and this spirit of ours has a specific job.

Part 5 - Evil, Demon, Devil, Satan, Lucifer who's who?

Darkness! A prelude to light but the doom of men.

I spoke about Cain in part 4. I will initiate the core of my blog with him. People think of Cain as the first murderer, the evil that stayed or simply, a misunderstood man. Here is Cain's story in the Bible:

Genesis 4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

There are MANY speculations about what made God (the LORD) accept Abel's offering and not Cain's. In absolutely NO version do we have a reason for this denial. We only have ONE hint with this passage in verse 7 "If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door". Some videos or movies about this scene show Cain holding back some of his crops before giving his offering to God. In absolutely NO place is it mentionned that way. From this moment, many have speculated about the nature of God's refusal. SO, WHY did God refuse Cain's offering? The answer is in THIS section of the passage "If thou doest well".

We, humans have a very big tendency to show something to people when our hearts are totally NOT there. Our intentions seem good, but in the end, it hides something else. What do you expect from a Creator? A Creator that created the heart and all of it's possible outcomes, what do you expect? To properly hide what you truly feel? There is only ONE single possibility to why Cain was bad in what he was doing. No matter what he did, the true bad thing here was that he wanted his offering to be good, and shall I speculate too, he wanted it to be BETTER than his brother.

We have been introduced to 2 sins in the Bible up to now, but one of these is burried in a place than too little have looked upon. The first one comes from Eve and the famous fruit she ate:

Genesis 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

THAT is the first sin. People preach that the first sin was to disobey God by eating what was forbidden. That's totally untrue. Actually, this very way of talking brings control and makes people act by fear. AND, that is how religions have been created. If you disobey God, you sin and are punished or simply not answered in your prayers until you ask for forgiveness. Many religions will THEN add a set of rules saying that if we disobey those rules from whatever book they consider as their Bible and the word of the Creator, then you sin and are not worthy. THE real sin of mankind is wisdom. THAT is our sin and what makes us fall. The wiser we get, the more power we seek from that wisdom.

When we look at elder people, we see wisdom. But wisdom has changed since then. Or has it? What IS wisdom? I wanted to bring the definition from dictionary.com again. But I will pass right now because I believe that this word is not right. We are again limited by our own words and language.

Many people tend to believe that God was harsh and unfairly punished Cain for what he did. And many more instances in the Bible this also happens where nations were killed by God's order. And then, we have christians sharing the good news of love. They share that the good news of the Bible is that we are doomed for ever in an everlasting lava pit eaten out by worms that cannot be harmed by fire and heat, in other words, Hell as described by many. The Bible mentions hell, or the everlasting death sentence as this.

Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

MANY christians describe Hell as this lake of fire. BUT, may I bring your attention to THIS section of verse 14? "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire". SOooo, if I read right, hell will be cast in the lake of fire making hell NOT a lake of fire.

Matthew 18:9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

Another part that makes us wonder about the senses of what has been written. So is the fire of the lake different than the fire of hell? Is the fire of the lake more powerfull than that of hell? After hearing many preachings on hell, I have over heard so many times this sentence of people that prefer being in hell "I prefer to be in hell with my friends than alone in heavens.". For all the people to whome I spoke about God, hell and everything else related, I heard this said only ONCE. So having pastors talk about people saying this diminishes a lot the credibility of who this pastor actually spoke to OR limits the number of people he spoke to because many people simply do NOT believe in hell or simply don't really take time to think about it. People tend to have different perspectives of hell and the Bible does not descibe precisely what hell is. Some even say that earth itself is hell. THAT makes me laugh because I do not think that the rich family, living happily and joyfully in wealth and helth would state the same thing.

What IS evil? Let's have a small dictionary.com perspective on bad words AND also a little help from our famous Wikipedia friend.

Evil
1. adj. morally wrong or bad
2. noun. the force in nature that governs and gives rise to wickedness and sin.
**dictionary.com**
"the opposite or absence of good. It can be an extremely broad concept, although in everyday usage is often used more narrowly to talk about profound wickedness."
**wikipedia.com**

Satan
noun. the chief evil spirit; the great adversary of humanity; the devil.
**dictionary.com**
"also known as the Devil,[b] is an entity in the Abrahamic religions that seduces humans into sin or falsehood. In Christianity and Islam, he is usually seen as either a fallen angel or a genie, who used to possess great piety and beauty, but rebelled against God, who nevertheless allows him temporary power over the fallen world and a host of demons.
...
In Christianity, Satan is known as the Devil and is sometimes also called Lucifer. Although the Book of Genesis does not mention him, he is often identified as the serpent in the Garden of Eden."
**wikipedia.com**

Devil
1. noun. the supreme spirit of evil; Satan.
2. noun. a subordinate evil spirit at enmity with God, and having power to afflict humans both with bodily disease and with spiritual corruption.
**dictionary.com**
"the personification of evil as it is conceived in various cultures and religious traditions. It is seen as the objectification of a hostile and destructive force.
...
In mainstream Christianity, the devil is usually referred to as Satan."
**wikipedia.com**

Lucifer
noun. a proud, rebellious archangel, identified with Satan, who fell from heaven.
**dictionary.com**
"Interpretations of a similar term in the Hebrew Bible, translated in the King James Version as the proper name "Lucifer", led to a Christian tradition of applying the name Lucifer, and its associated stories of a fall from heaven, to Satan, but modern scholarship generally translates the term in the relevant Bible passage (Isaiah 14:12) as "morning star" or "shining one" rather than as a proper name, "Lucifer"."
**wikipedia.com**

Demon
an evil spirit; devil or fiend.
**dictionary.com**
"A demon is a supernatural being, typically associated with evil"
**wikipedia.com**

You may wonder. WHY are we defining Evil, Satan, Lucifer and Devil? Well, as you may see, the definitions are widely based off interpretations, mostly for Satan, Devil and Lucifer. MANY, and I repeat, MANY christians will most certainly describe Eve's sin by listening to the serpant by saying the serpant was Lucifer, the Devil, also know as (aka) Satan. I HAD to do a search in the Bible and understand how one person has transcribed the scriptures to iconify Lucifer as the initial serpant. So I did a search on those words in the Bible and here is what I have found.

EVIL

Used in pretty much all of the Bible to depict something bad. We can also see at certain places that even God sent evil spirits to punish humans:

1 Samuel 16:14 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.

Now, this also makes evil spirits not necessarely bad because they have a specific job assigned from God directly. If we take a candy away from a child or remove the priviledge to play on a phone or tablette, that could be considered bad but knowing that it's a punishement for a bad deed, then this becomes good. So evil now has a new perspective.

DEVIL
(demon)

A very interesting thing here. Devil is only appearing in the NEW testament AND it has 2 occurences with a capitalized "D" in the book of Revelations. I will bring up a verse that caught my attention here:

Matthew 9:32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.

It's interesting to know that devil is used as "A" something and not "THE" entity. This makes devil not actually be one single entity against God. But something else happened to catch my attention when Jesus went to be tempted in the desert:

Matthew 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
...
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

Although MANY christians will argue that Jesus had the wisdom to recognise who THAT devil was, the inconsistency of how the text was written leads us to believe that Jesus spoke about maybe THINKING that it was Satan but it maybe have just been one devil amongst many others.

Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Revelation 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

These are the only 2 verses that use a cpitalized version of the word Devil. Here we are told that the great dragon is THAT old serpant who is the same as the Devil and the same as Satan. Interesting thing here is that usually names are given and do not have a leading "the" before. My name is David, not the David. A clear distiction is made when we read immediately after "and Satan". There is no "the " in front of Satan.

Weirdly enough, the Bible has NO occurences of "demon", at least, not in the King James version. BUT, the Darby version has the word demon

Matthew 9:32 But as these were going out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed by a demon.
Darby Bible

This makes "a devil" the same this as "a demon". This is starting to get confusing here. AND, may I also add that the Darby version of the Bible also REMOVES the capitaliztion of the word "devil" in Revelations 20:2.

SATAN

The first appearance of the name Satan in the Bible is in Chronicles. But something VERY interesting happens in the book of Job.

Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
...
12 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.

This must be one of the most polite discussions I have seen in the Bible!!! Seriously, God even authorized Satan to hinder Job's life. Most christians have some many ways of conjuring Satan out of their lives or speaking with authority thinking that this is the way to go. Speak with disrespect and not consider anything else but hatred towards Satan.

What have humans not understood of the spirit realm? Seriously, who are we to decide to speak in so much disrespect to a Spirit that God HIMSELF speaks to with respect. May I please bring your attention on this portion of verse 8? "Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth". Seriously, in a more modern way of speaking: Have you considered my servant Job? that there is none like him on earth? That's a very nice way to speak to that same entity supposed to be against you in an everlasting battle for the definate thrown of Heavens, the ultimate power!

NOW, here is my biggest concern about all of what christians bring about Satan. BUT, let me first ask you this question:

Would you go at war against a country knowing in advance that you will most definately lose and end up being tortured and tied up in a dungeon until your last breath?

Now, let me ask again another question, now that the context is set:

Why would Satan PURPOSELY go at war against God knowing VERY WELL that he will lose and end up tortured in the lake of Fire forever?

Some may protest saying that Satan has no clue that this is going to happen and still has hope to get the throne for himself. REALLY? You are telling me that Satan, living beside the God of gods, Creator of his own self to whome he has to ask permission to DO something does not know and still thinks he can overthrown God? Really. We call people like that on earth, stupid, knaive, immature! So Satan is stupid, knaive or immature? This portion of the Bible's scriptures makes me go nuts. When 2 people fight against one another, usually, there is something MUCH MORE important that the casualties on the sides of the battle and much more worthy than power. No matter how you will look at it, you DO NOT go against someone you will lose against. Usually, the only reason to battle is if someone else is at stakes and that THAT someone get's to chose with whome to be with after the battle AND that this someone can decide to choose the weak if desired even if that side lost. That's just speculations on my part, but a much more realistic reason for battle than a fight for power.

LUCIFER

Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.

That is the ONLY place where Lucifer is mentionned in the Bible. The ONLY place. I have put in red a little detail that is noteworthy in this text. First, we are introduced to what Lucifer actually means: Morning star or son of the morning depending on the version you will be looking at. From this vers on, we are talking about...Lucifer and on this section of verse 16, it is mentionned that they will look upon him and say "Is this the man". This means that Lucifer is or will be a man! Does this mean Lucifer, for now, does not exist since this is a prophecy and not happenned yet?

May I also mention that in the book of Revelations, Lucifer is not represented as being directly related to Satan or Devil. The ONLY place that COULD possibly refer to this is the following verse:

Revelation 2:28 And I will give him the morning star.

The popular christian belief is that Lucifer IS Satan and that Lucifer IS the serpant that tempted Eve. But all of this is still christian speculation because it is NOT specified clearly in the Bible. Many christians will take upon themselves and convince that you just need to be logical and see for yourself that all of these verses and chapters and prophecies are inter-connected which leads to the revelation that Lucifer IS indeed Satan. BUT, again, we are limited by our language. Wikipedia clearly states different variations of translations from other languages. AND how other languages depict OR describe what these words mean in their own language, we can EASILY fall into the trap of misinterpretation and controversal meanings.

SO, WHO'S WHO?

If you are a spirit from the spirit world that has solid proof of being from this spiritual world, without a body and with authority to speak to a human with solid proof and undoubtfull evidance that we can believe your very nature, then maybe we can have the answer. But for now, the only thing that can be interpreted is the following:

Satan can be depicted as the king of devils and/or demons.
Devil is not really a name but can be another word to describe a demon.
Evil is the fact of doing something that is not good or out of love.
Lucifer is not Satan according to the Bible and is subject to many interpretations and misinterpretations so it could or could not be the same entity. To understand the context of Lucifer, Isaiah chapter 13 should be read and maybe even before that because this book contains many prophecies which can be interpreted in so many ways. So is Lucifer Satan? Is Lucifer the king of devils or demons? Since ONLY one single place in the Bible mentions this name and that it refers to a moment in time and a specific prophecy AND depicting him as a man, many things can be said about who Lucifer really is.

So, how can one interpret properly? Actually, you cannot. Anyone is bound to the knowledge of the language. We cannot go further than what we can word out. It's like asking a person: "What is Good?". For one person, good is to punish a minor rapist by castration while as another, good means to enclose him in a prison for life because castration is still considered inhumane and leave him unfree until he dies. For another, it's simply death penalty for such a horrible thing. But what IS horrible? Why have we considered minor raping more horrible than over 18 years old rape? Isn't rape still rape? No matter the age? We humans have made borders as to what is good and evil, accepted or not. Seriously, we even made borders on earth to separate countries! Canada and United States are on the same continent and there is a boundary that separates both countries!!! And it's the same land.

This section is also pretty special and important to take into consideration:

1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Matthew 5:44  But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Exodus 23:22  But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

In french, the "Oservald" version of the Bible states in 1 Peter 5:8 says "the devil, your enemy" but the Darby and "Louis Segond" says adversary. So AGAIN, we are confronted with something VERY special. In english, there seems to be a distinction between adversary and enemy because we clearly see in Exodus that we can be an enemy but not an adversary or an adversary without being an enemy or simply be an adversary AND an enemy. In some french versions of the Bible, we get adversary while as another, it's enemy. So which to believe?

Adversary
noun. a person, group, or force that opposes or attacks; opponent; enemy; foe.
**dictionary.com**

Enemy
noun. a person who feels hatred for, fosters harmful designs against, or engages in antagonistic activities against another; an adversary or opponent.
**dictionary.com**

Opponent states that it's somone on opposite sides. Everything is a question of interpretation. But one thing is sure, Jesus does say this in Matthew 5:44 "Love your enemies". And may I also bring forth the fact that the "L" in love is capitalized after a coma! So all christians who develop a hatred towards Satan, Devil, Lucifer, Evil or Lucifer, are all wrong because none know exactly what they are hating and what they are up against. AND when we see that Jesus himself is saying to Love our enemies and considering that christians consider Satan as their sworn everlasting enemy, then it goes without saying that you should Love Satan. But again, may I also bring unto your attention that "your adversary the devil" is wrtten as devil with a lowercase "d". So are we talking about Satan or simply the depiction of  a human leaning towards evil deeds? Does this also mean I must Love the evil deeds as they are part of the enemies because devils are evil deeds? Many questions arise from a simple text! And what about the evil spirit? Are those devils or demons? Because they do fit inside the description of enemy or adversary!

When talking about creation, it's all about creating everything. From the creation of an unexisting thing to something that exists. Love, hatred, sadness, anger, frustration, happiness, peace, all of these were unexisting at the begining. the Creator HAD to create those feelings for us to feel them. Men has been given total control of the earth and what is on it but did the Creator give the power of creating emotions to men? Did humans create emotions? The very first thing introduced in the Bible where evil an good is mentionned was when Eve was tempted to eat from that tree permitting her to be wise and know the distiction between good and evil. Does this mean that Eve had absolutely NO clue that the serpant was actually an adversary or enemy? Because the knowledge of enemy and/or adversary was not yet existing because that was creation. How could Eve know about obediance? How could man have known that God was going to punish if they did something? Did man create the emotion of fear? If fear has been created and that everything was created by God, does this also mean that God has fears? Because it is said that God created man at his image!

In a futur post, I will talk about Love being independant from accepting. You can Love without necessarely accepting a way of living.

So who's who? Basically, everything is something worth Loving. That's who they are. We can love without accepting but still be respectfull because God himself talked to Satan in a very polite maner even if they did not necessarely agree. That's who they are, entities worth Loving without necessarely engaging or accepting their ways of living.

"Love is the only thing that has no enemies!"

Part 4 - Looking at the invisible

Believing! That's the core way to practice anything on this good earth.

The entire Bible is to be believed when you consider being a christian. I talked about language, interpretation and creation. But everything I have written is prone to interpretation. And anything that is interpreted can be believed. It is YOUR choice to believe in something.

I could talk about how humans choose to believe or not, but this is my final introductory article before we start checking the meat of the Bible (play on words intended from a previous part I wrote). Many people have studied the Bible for years. Scientists have even tried to refute the Bible or others have tried to make connection with it. The thing is that whatever people try to prove, it all falls out to be the final choice of the listener, or reader in this case, to believe what has been said or talked about.

Some basic truths to start off:

• God is invisible
• Hell and Paradise are not known in this physical world
• Noone knew Adam and Eve
• Emotions cannot be seen
• and so on, I know you can find many more..

The point here is that no matter how far we go in our papers and scripts, noone can confirm what has been done in history. We talk about stone age, but who was there? We talk about humans come from apes, who's from that era? We show dinausaurs from skeletons and try to track down history with bones and stone layers, but who lived during those days to confirm all of this? One can only choose to believe those things because no solid proof exists asside from theories that are just looking possible because they are spoken in a logical way. Human logics is limited to what we physically sense. If we cannot use one of our senses to confirm, then there is only one way to sort this out with only 2 possible outcomes:

Believe
or
Don't believe

The Bible is based off believing because pretty much all of what is written cannot be checked. A lot of christians will say that their prayers have been answered calling it solid proof that the Bible exists because it talks about it. Others will say that the nature itself has all of the proof necessary to prove the existance of God and Jesus. BUT I, I say something else. The Bible does have many things that can be confirmed by life itself, but it also has many things that can show how twisted things can be and subject to greater studies and verification.

I will talk about preachings, bible studies, books about bibles and humans a little later in this article. For now, let's start with something that caught my attention right at the begining of the Bible. Something I just cannot unhook from.

Genesis 4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
13 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

That is almost the entire chapter 4 of Genesis right there. I stopped at verse 16 because there is something crucial that needs to be understood. Before chapter 4, we are told about the creation and the fall of men from sin, the sin here is seeking of wisdom. We'll talk about that later.

I have purposely colored the names of the people we are talking about here. This is the introduction of what I would consider "The spread of humans". Remember this in Genesis?

Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
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.

I put in red the important parts here. So the main purpose of man, or I should say, humans, was to multiply as well as dominating the earth. So between then and chapter 4, no multiplication was done yet. So Cain is Green and Abel is Blue (or Cyan for those picky on color names). I also put in a red box another little detail that will introduce you to what's following up next.

Genesis 4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

NOW, this is VERY interesting. We have been greeted with Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel but can you tell me WHERE did Cain happen to meet his wife? Who is she? Where does she come from? Up to now, the ONLY people that have been introduced are the 4 I have just mentionned, no sisters, no relatives and now, all of a sudden, Cain know his wife. Sometimes, when you want to tell a story, you begin by the end or somewhere in the middle. So, I searched and Cain is nowhere to be found except in this chapter 4.

Genesis 4:25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.

This shows that Eve had another son AFTER Cain and Abel. But again, nowhere do we find anything about sons and daughters. Verse 1 and verse 2 of chapter 4 mention that Adam knew Eve, another way to say that they had sex, let's just call things the way they are supposed to be said. So Adam and Eve's first sexual relations gave 3 sons, Cain, Abel and Seth. Now, I do NOT care about what preachers will say about this and what suppositions and other interpretations. A book must be logical, history must be logical. You explain a story, don't leave huge gaps like this!!! Another detail to NOT forget here:

Genesis 4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

It is written that Cain went and lived in the land of Nod. So! I know we are at the begining, but Nod? We have been introduced at the begining with names from rivers in Eden and we can assume that God just had to name something or maybe Adam chose to name these. But if Cain was alone in the east, then where does the name "Nod" come from?

I said I would talk about preachings earlier! When you attend church, you will realise that pastors ALL have the same exact way of preaching. They talk about biblical facts with a few verses to build upon for their message, THEN, the context dissapears. I am NOT saying they get OUT of context, the context here is the Bible reference context. Pastors, preachers or however you name those talking in front in the microphone at church, they use the same exact thing to convince people. They use logical presumptions. AND boy! Are they so good in using those. They often contextualise things using current day-to-day stuff. And when you listen properly, you will soon realise that they go over certain details pretty quickly by doing 1 of 2 things.

Quickly say that a current passage means something without much details, just basic knowledge.
or
Focus on a very Godly or Good or Sinless oriented subject and leave out the bad.

I get so annoyed when I hear them do this. Another thing they do is over-talk. And boy! Do those pastors know how to over-talk. Seriously! The amount of useless details to prove a point is incredibly full of similar points. Pastors also love to take a simple idea and make hour long messages about something that can be understood in 2 sentences and 5 minutes. But, I won't talk about this more because I will get carried away. The subject here is the missing information and the interpretation of that missing information.

Back to our Cain moment. I will NOT copy the entire text of Genesis 5 here because it is boring and not usefull for those believing me. If not, just go check for yourself in a Bible. Just a reminder, I use the King James version for my texts here but any version of the Christian Bible is applicable. So, I said back to Cain, right. Chapter 5 of Genesis explains in detail the decendence of Adam. I will rephrase that, chapter 5 lists and names some of the sons of Adam. I said, Adam, aparently, Eve has no attachment to these children. Eve's name is last seen in chapter 4 before being used as a reference later in the new testament. We also are introduced to how many years passed before Adam "begat" I'll translate to concieved by his seed, let's be clearer, Adam's sperm produced. Where does the word "sperm" come from? Just a question out of the blues like that because you won't find that in the Bible unless you find a new English Bible translation that I don't know of. Anyways...Let's continue.

Cain has NO precision about his years because, may I remind you, Cain was punished to live and a sign was put on him to prevent people from killing him. I would be REALLY curious about how many years he lived before dying. Oh! And have we talked about Noah being a decendant of Adam but the decendant of Cain also stopped on chapter 4. Noah was found good by God. So, right there, we have a very tight focus that only so-called righteous people are going to be named. There is an answer to that and I will answer it in another article. But for this article, let's focus on the missing information.

So Cain and his decendants have no real details and for some reason, Cain found himself a wife, when clearly, Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel and Seth were the only known humans as far as we know. Now, amny can speculate on that, but this information is NOT provided. You cannot build any opinion on this because we are missing a heck of a lot of information here. And then, christians are surprised that people do not believe in God?

I will say something about God. Or chall I say, the Creator, to accomodate most religions. Everyone on earth believes in a something or someone, a being or power source that managed to bring humanity to life, everyone. So, we will concentrate later on why did the Bible go over this detail. Because the Bible has one single goal, just one and understanding this ONE goal will manage to clear the questions. But for now, one last observation from the decendant of Adam and I will provide the reference here:

Genesis 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;
...
3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:

The introduction to the book of Adam's generations starts with Seth. OKAY, so where is Cain and Abel? I should presume that since they were introduced earlier, it should not be named because we know them already? But Seth was also introduced earlier and is still repeated here. Is this the same Seth?

We, humans, easily step over things that require too many questions. Religions are based off of that. We talk about things and if it flashes a bunch of red lights requiring answers, we simply tell these people that they lack faith and/or do not believe. A very common comment you will have is that you are not asking the right questions and that God purposely did not mention these details because you do not need them. Seriously? We should all be the same, with the same thoughts and ways of understanding? Let's all welcome diversity (this is called sarcasm, for those wondering). When reading such things, we rarely think about these details and skip them because we all have this tiny little thing inside us that just wants to know the rest of the story. Movies are made like this, skipping over details and driving us right there where the story needs to be told. Action movies where eating is optional, maybe they will put one single meal, oh, and how many movies have you seen where the actore goes to the bathroom? Sylvester Stallone to the toilet doing his number 2, or maybe Sister Act and seeing the Pope doing his thing before sitting down to watch the final show? Anyone? no?

I will finalise this introduction before delving into the center of my blog in the next article. Let me introduce, THIS thing! I have purposely chosen the "Ostervald" french version of the Bible and put the comparison with the english King James version. But I will start off with this little detail that hit me:

Genesis 6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

Soooo??? God had NO daughters? And men had no sons??? Are you telling me that Adam begat sons after Eve where God made Adam concieve? Did Adam have a temporary uterus? Did he sex himself? Was Adam the first Mary who got a child by the Holy Spirit? Why does the Bible SPECIFICALLY mention the sons of GOD and the DAUGHTERS of men??? Clearly, the Bible has brought us to some importance in hierarchy:

God
Man (Husband)
Woman (Wife)
then
God
Man
Sons

Seriously, this is starting to be sexist. God created the woman but has no respect for her to the point that he does not even consider them as his own daughters? So any born man is considered a son of God but any born woman is considered a daughter of man?

Now here goes the translations of THIS verse from english, King James to french, "Ostervald":

Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
King James (English)

Genesis 6:3  Et l'Éternel dit: Mon esprit ne contestera point dans l'homme à toujours; dans son égarement il n'est que chair; ses jours seront de cent vingt ans.
Ostervald (French)

I will now provide you the casting of the war of religions arround the world. You can get a few definitions by looking up yourself but to make it easy for you, I will translate the english version to an easier more modern english and then, translate the french version in english so you can see the difference and what I mean by our language being a barier and where interpretation becomes a really big problem.

Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit should not always contest with man because he is flesh: his days will be of 120 years.
King James (David Richard (modern english))

Genesis 6:3 And the Lord said: My spirit will not contest in the man forever; in his waywardness (or folly) he is only flesh; his days will be of 120 years.
Osterval (David Richard (word-to-word translation))

NOW, can you tell me WHICH version is supposed to be the COREECT version of what happened? In english, it talks about man being flesh as something bad to God so he separates himself for this reason. BUT the french side talks about "égarement" which is weirdly translated by "distraction" but has a deeper defined way to say that man has deviated from a good path which is why I translated to "waywardness or folly". But I will not talk about what is correct here. I am simply pointing out that ALREADY, 2 languages that I DO know have totally different meanings for this verse. AND say what you want about what flesh really means and all of the interpretations that you can presume, if I stick to what is written, I interpret things without getting out of the Bible which is the base reference for christians. Here's a last one:

Genesis 5:2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
King James (English)

Genesis 5:2 Il les créa mâle et femelle, et il les bénit, et leur donna le nom d'Homme, au jour qu'ils furent créés.
Ostervald (French)

I think you understood what I meant earlier, so I will not retranslate the whole thing but only the part which is REALLY different, the underlined red word. In english, he names them Adam but in fench, he names them Man. I WILL though emphasis on a little detail and that is the capitalization of the "H" in "Homme". Because when refering to man, normally, no capitals are used, but in this case, a capital letter was used to say Man. NOW, again, many could interpret that God created Adam and that Adam is just another word to say Man. BUT, mayt I remind you that the french version is read by french people, not necessarely by bilingual people like me! How do you expect people to understand properly something if the words used are not the same. Why would I need a translator to read the Bible? Does this mean that to understand a book, I need to read it in several languages? And even though most say that the Bible's initial language is Hebrew, seriously, you are going to tell me that you have uttermost certainty that the language spoken in Genesis was Hebrew and that the first Bible was written IN Hebrew? Were you the one who recieved the information by God himself to say for sure that this is the case?

We are looking at things that cannot be checked and have no foundations. We rely on Belief to interpret things that are not visible or that cannot be verified. It's important to know what we see, but it is also important to take a look at what we do NOT see. We cannot see viruses but without anyone willing to see microscopic things, vaccines would not have existed. So focussing soly on what the Bible says without worrying about things that are NOT said is not the proper way to understand the Bible.

One last mention about a small detail I said earlier about books. Many christians swear by the Bible which they refer to as the word of God. BUT here's the detail that makes me lose my mind. There exists many Bible dictionaries and many pastors preach using other well known pastors. AND I will also add that many of the books inside the Bible have been written by another man. One well known man is Paul in the new testament as well as 2 others, John and Peter. So you are telling me, that there is NO doubts about these people's writtings and interpretations? That the Bible dictionaries are free of any mistakes and as worthy as the Bible? Because may I remind christians that the books written by Paul, John and Peter, the dictionaries and comments that have been written concerning the Bible, they have all been written by man. And I will re-itterate that saying that the Bible is inspired by God is NOT a valid argument because inspired and written by are 2 different things. Inspiration can be trapped in many interpretations and I gave 2 examples before.

"Never be blind by what you see; what you cannot see can open your eyes."

Part 3 - Creating creation

Humans! We are intelligent and stupid at the same time!

I recently started to comment on reddit about some religious posts talking about love and the Creator. I got an interesting comment about a person saying that the univers has always been. The Bible starts off like this:

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
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.

In french, heaven is translated to "cieux" and most of the times when talking to children, we won't tell them that dead people end up in paradise but "au ciel" which, litterally, translates to "in the sky".

dictionary.com defines heaven with 2 different definitions pertaining to our subject. First one is:

"the abode of God, the angels, and the spirits of the righteous after death; the place or state of existence of the blessed after the mortal life."
dictionary.com (2021-02-23)

The second one pertaining to our subject is this:

"the sky, firmament, or expanse of space surrounding the earth."
dictionary.com (2021-02-23)

In the context, we can presume that we are talking about the second definition. And we can clearly see that there is a distinction between space arround the earth and the earth itself. Another point we can see is that there seemed to exist an earth already but it simply had no shape and void. We also see that darkness existed and that this darkness had a position upon the face of the deep. We also have another weird instance that makes us believe that waters existed since it also states that the Spirit of God moved upon the face of waters. THEN, again, there is also something very interesting. Throughout the whole Bible, it talk about God being God as a single word, God. But the very first introduction of the Bible states that the SPIRIT of God moved. Looking at how much emphasis people put on words and definitions, why would the Bible start off by saying the spirit of God instead of simply saying GOD moved, why the difference?

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

Right there, 3rd verse and already we hop from Spirit of God to simply God. Weirdly, instead of introducing us to who God is at the first place to understand a very important matter in the Bible which is God in 3 different forms forming 1 single entity, the Bible just starts with our creation. It would have been helpfull to begin the Bible like this:

"God has always been, where time and space was not, God was, has been and will always be. Word, Intelligence and Spirit are different entities belonging to one single being, God. God is all of these at once and all of them work together but have their own ways of behaving."
David Richard (Qc/Can)

I'll pause here for a moment and come back to that reddit comment I read about everlasting univers. We, humans, have this misinterpretation that something MUST be created to exist. We don't just happen to popup in this world! A man and a woman has sex, sperm reaches an egg and a human is formed and shaped. That basically is a creation process amongst all other mammals and other living creatures doing something that creates another copy of itself. The big question here is:

What is the origin of life?

A question that has made people give theories and bring so many different ideas to try and explain how we have been. I am NOT going to answer that question because noone can. Or at least, noone can prove anything as it can only be used by faith which I will talk about in another article. How can we blame a person believing that there is no creation and that the world simply has been? And how can we blame the others who believe the world is because of a Creator? The concept of creation is somewhat very debatable.

I love the Matrix movies. There one point in the first movie where Neo is learning to fight with Morpheus. At a moment, when Neo is defeated, he breaths heavilly and Morpheus looks at him asks if he thinks that he is really breathing air. That's a very fun concept and even if it's from a movie, you can compare it to our world and it's origin.

I named this part: Creating creation. I have a tendency to love to title texts in weird or contradicting ways. The very idea of creating something is very particular. We use words without knowing or without thinking that these words had a beginning somewhere. There's a french movie about prehistoric people, it's called "Rrrrrr!" Yeah, litterally, just R's. They comedically depict the first crime that happened in history. 2 moments come to mind in this movie. The first one is a play on words where Stone Age is translated in french to "L'âge de pierre" and the movie makes fun of it and shows that every one is named "Pierre" no matter the sex, male of female. Then, further in the movie, the people have a hard time pronouncing a new person's name "Guy". The movie litterally spends a few minutes showing us a bunch of people trying their best to pronounce this name. Another instance of the movie, the leader of the group decides to name the killing of another person "Crime". And again, comedically, he states that he could have chosen to call it "Murder" but he chose "Crime". It may sound stupid, but it is also very intelligent because indeed, where do our words come from? How did they happen to exist?

Weirdly, we can say that the word "create" was created for a reason (play on words intended). But there is also another conept to think about and that is the actions or consequences or feelings of what those words mean. dictionary.com defines create as this:

"1. to cause to come into being, as something unique that would not naturally evolve or that is not made by ordinary processes.
2. to evolve from one's own thought or imagination, as a work of art or an invention."
dictionary.com (2021-02-23)

What I find funny out of what I am typing right now is that I am handing out definitions of words that also have words that have been defined before. When you start looking up for definitions, which is extremely helpfull when reading the Bible, you easily end up looking for definitions of words that have been used to define other words. For example "evolve" is defined this way:

to develop gradually:
dictionary.com (2021-02-23)

And we could go on with Develop, gradual, etc... The point I am making here is that we, humans, are limited by the difinition of our own words. Somehow, there has to have been a moment where things were not and have been afterwards. Words did not just exist! An intelligence has to have existed prior to all of this. No matter what you think, a bacteria cannot have evolved to a talking human if an intelligence was not created initially. AND the very fact of creation could not have been possible if something did not initially act in a creative way to give a definition to the very word of creation. Therefor, creation had a beginning and so, creation was first created.

The idea of "always has been" is simply, humanly impossible because nothing ever will be forever unless...UNLESS....Many people know the movie Avatar. In that movie, they believe that their ancestors share their new existance within nature and live through it. This makes nature their very own relative which they treat with utter most respect. When they kill an animal, they will thank him for their sacrifice. Although it looks like a very simple and old age way of thinking, it is not far from the truth. If you think of it this way, the idea of everlasting or eternal is maybe more simple than what we think. The Creator created heaven and earth in a way that the earth is able to sustain itself on its own.

I saw a video on Netflix about how a desert is the biginning of life. In a few words, this desert produces salt that when its raining, animals finish up by walking through the mud until the ocean which then carries these minerals until they end up through a cycle of rain until it arrives in the Amazon. So from a salty desert, things come back to life in the Amazon making both, the Amazon and the Desert critical for the surviving of this earth. Everything on this earth is critical to the everlasting living of this very earth. And as disgusting as this may sound, you may have already eaten a small tiny particle of what was once one of your relatives who got buried and rotted in the depths of dirt. We use tombstones to identify the location of where our relatives got burried, but this does not mean that their remains have frozen in time down deep and have not travelled far. It may be disgusting, but think of it this way, life is a perpetual cycle of life and death. Our ancestors gave birth which led to us being living and the cycle will perpetually continue.

The christians have this misconception that God controls everything at his will and as he wishes. But the idea of needing to continuously managing a creation in constant need of our attention gets boring pretty quickly. It is not a surprise to understand that the Creator did indeed create this world but created it so it can be auto-sufficient. The great intelligence is not the creation itself but the creation of a perpetual life that will never end. We have created many things throughout history, many things that are close to being perpetual but never have we created anything that is auto-sufficient. And the problem with renewable resources is that we are greedy and see power and wealth through perpetuality while as the Creator created a perpetual world free for us to enjoy.

Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
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.
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.

As we can see, the earth and everything on it was created for humans to enjoy and use freely. Further, we see that humans were not supposed to die and God chose to remove humans from the possibility of living forever using the Tree of Life:

Genesis 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:
...
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

We also see in the fall of men the greatest weakness of men:

Genesis 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

The important part here is "to make one wise". This happens to prove AGAIN my previous part which talks about us humans according so much importance to knowledge that it actually hinders us. We give so much importance to knowledge that we forget to do the very basic things that matter the most and are more important than knowing. Here's another battle of life discutions: Was Adam tempted to eat from that tree or was he simply tempted to follow Eve because of passion, lust and/or love? Because clearly here, the only person that got tempted was Eve. Why did the snake NOT chose Adam to tempt him? Some may speculate and say that Man was the head of leading and the way to reach the head was to get to his weakness, therefor the woman making women, the weakness of men. But THAT is not specified and I am just throwing possibilities without any solid proofs. Many christians will talk over me and simply say that life itself proves what you just said, isn't that enough proof for you? The answer is NO. Influence is only influence if we choose to let it be.

My wife talked to me recently about an event in her life. She mentionned that people are weak. Someone can easily fall into a bad habit but the fall into this habit begins with a decision. You decide to go ahead into a bad habit, you chose to accept and try or live a moment to fullfill your curiosity. But in the end, once this habit has got into you, you live through it and it becomes a way of living and that's where life starts to change who you are from being respectfull to not respectfull. Everything starts with a decision and if you are not strong enough to stay true to what you believe, then you let your weakness overwhelm you and it will then bring difficulties in you life. From the destruction of your couple, family, friends, relationships and even up to death.

I will point out here that this is an evolution. An evolution comming from a simple idea which them brings an action. So believing in Evolution instead of Creation is not a false way to believe because technically speaking, God had an idea that evolved into the creation of the univers. I will soon talk about evolution in the Creator's mind soon because many christians believe that God does NOT change and has not evolved. But by judging from the definition of Creation itself, creation is the evolution of an idea. And in this case, Creation has been created by the evolution of an idea. So we could say that Creation is actually the second step of evolution. But again, an idea has a begining, therefor, it has a creation. What is creation then? Was the creation the initial idea God had? Or was the Creation the begining of this physical univers? Without answering directly to my initial question, I would still be confident to say that the Origin of life began with Creation but not THE creation. Therefor, The Origin of life is the evolution of an idea from an intelligent being. This means that creation was not created until a definition could be attached to it.

I will end this with my intial thoughts about what God is with this reference in the Bible:

Genesis 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:

It states "the man has become as one of us". God refered to himself as "us" or did God refer to the spiritual side of the world to be having different beings asside from him meaning that "us" refers to a being in this other reality? I love people that talk about faith because faith is believing in what we cannot understand or explain. Of course, christians have another definition of Faith which I WILL cover in another article, so please, be patient. For now, we can only see that our language does matter a lot to help us understand very basic things and that we can just not explain everything no matter how many words we know. We went from God saying something to humans saying something and all of that, in languages we still cannot confirm today because WHO was there in the begining? Noone!

But stating that life is evolution is not an understatement; And creation was initially not existing as a word to define. Creation had to be created so that the word could exist and the act could live.

Part 2 - Limiting the limitless

Knowledge! It can limit ourselves or push away the boundaries of the unknown.

I initiated this blog announcing that I am autistic. There is a lot of misconceptions about autistic people in general. The common conception of autism is visibly dissabled people where you can identify easily that a person has a dissability just by looking at them. The truth is that autism lives inside you. It's a social handicap. People tend to think social as communication between 2 people. A part of social life is greatly used by one's emotions. Emotions are lived inside each of us. They live and are part of who we are. The ability to treat those emotions and what we do with what we have treated is part of our personality. For autistic people, like me, most of these emotions are detached and seem unexistant. What would usually cause happiness or sadness will simply produce a neutral face and feeling. What people outside do not understand, the neuro-typical people, is that inside us, there's a real life threatning puzzle that needs to be resolved. The proper execution of the response can lead to a total disaster or a happy ending. All depends on how fast and how well we treat that information. Since most neuro-typical people develop easily the momentum and quick responsiveness for such situations, we, autistic people will take way longer to treat the exact same situations. Therefor, a situation requiring a 5 second immediate reaction will take us 5 minutes or even 50 in the worst case scenarios making our reaction to the initial subject of a situation irrelevant thus making us look weird.

Thats one of the down sides of autism. Another well known side of autism is excellence in 1 particular domain in life. Some may become top note-worthy musicians, others, incredible artists or even professional doctors. There is another side of autism that is less known and not really taken into consideration. That is how we see the world and all details pertaining to anything of this world. Some may call, it other dimensions of this world. If you ask a blind person how he sees this world, he will describe it with sounds and feelings. If you ask a child about how he sees this world, everything is giant, big and amazing, even the most basic things. We have learned to accept these obvious perspectives, live and integrate them in our day-to day life. What about autism and those that have no visible dissorders? And when it comes to interactions and ideas, we are often rejected unless we have high academic diplomas to prove that we know something.

As I stated at the beginning, knowledge is a blessing and a curse. The blessing is found when we discover new things and share them to the world arround us. The curse is to constrain the knowledge by repeating what others have said and never going further.

I named this blog: An autistic and the Creator. I did so because I have studied the Bible in a way that few have studied it. Part 1 of my blog talks about the Bible being like a big telephone game where people have interpreted what others have said or seen. The christian world has some rules of it's own. Notably the fact that what has been taught must be taught again using different words. It's unwritten and unpreached, but when you assist to different preachings in different cities and even coutries, you get the same old subjects preached again and again. Most christians will even promote that idea through 2 main ideas:

1 Corinthians 3:2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

Galatians 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

2 Peter 1:12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.

Many christians and I repeat, MANY christians will use these 2 ideas to proclame that they know how to teach. The 2 main concepts are:

• Repeat
• You still don't know enough

I worked for a company back then. It was tough because I did not know I was autistic back then and I had a really hard time working. But for the time I worked, I used MSN messenger, yeah, that does not put me in a young age. I was not using it badly as I was chatting to my wife back then to know if I should get things at the grocery before getting back hame at the end of my shift. BUT, the rule inside the company was that MSN was totally not allowed. SO the boss saw me and got me in her office. She spent many minutes to scold me. When I left, I smiled to her and said good day, you should have seen the frown on her face. I also had a teacher back in highschool. I was in that period where your armpits start to smell but not yet used to wear deodorant. The teacher took me in a corner and started to politely try to explain what happens to kids becoming adults and how their bodies change. I stopped him and told him to tell me that I simply stink and need deodorant and not prolong the discussion. I understood.

After these 2 incidences, I never was told again. I uninstalled messenger and I always wore deodorant. I hate being double and triple explained things. Yes, practice makes perfect, yes kids need to have things repeated to them so the ideas and ways can sink in. But seriously, decades and centuries of being repeated the same thing over and over again? That's becoming excessive.

There's also this misconception that most christians are still like babies and drink milk. I've seen a conference with highly rated doctors in theology. I was astonished at how shallow and hollow their discussions were sitting there in front of everyone with microphones and given high importance because of their degrees and diplomas. I got bored so fast and even got angry because I had better things to say than those overused ideas shared by people who just look more intelligent because of prechewed teaching at school.

Anoher concept of the Bible is this:

John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

This is actually helpfull for many people outside the christian world but also a source of fake testimony and justification for christians. It litterally says that not everything has been written which understates that there are many things that we don't know and has not been said. Most christians will use that and say that the Bible is more than enough and that humans are unable to take more.

Here is the point, we have a limitless Creator who can litterally do all things but there is no way for us to know more than what people have read out of the Bible? Really? What about this person who talks to spirits and can see or hear them. Can that person know more than what the Bible says? But again, christians will contest that saying that it's a sin to deal with spirits but this is for another subject. The point I am focusing on here is that humans limit what can be known by what past people have said. We are organised, as humans, to continuously repeat the same things. But I see things differently, I realised that what people have learned in the Bible is nothing compared to what the real message is. People are focusing on what is already known and spread that out claiming that they are mature and know these things but the truth is that the real person that has this maturity is the initial one that braught the idea. The person who invented electricity is the true genius not the copy cats. I am not talking about evolution here, that's different and all as much brilliant.

And to finish this off, Part 1 of my blog talks about human communication and language. Our language has limited our knowledge to it's furthest edge. You cannot go further than what one can speak. I have a really good friend of mine who taught me something important. I was continuously in a fight with my second wife back then and I wanted to know what she was feeling and spent several hours trying to talk her out. It was pointless and led to nothing. I made this guy come and he explained that many times it's worthless to talk about emotions because some of them are just impossible to word out, you need to let it be, felt and lived. This lesson made my recent mariage happy and more easy to live through. It also has opened up huge horizons about how the Creator created the univers and weirdly, you can relate that to computers nowdays but this is the subject of another article soon.

I learned that I was able to read the Bible and allowed to understand it the way I see it which is much different than almost all christians. And I know I am not wrong in believing it that way but a lot of christians will take what I say and try to push me down saying that I am not understanding it as it was taught for generations, I am adding or removing things from the Bible that should not and ask too many questions about things that were not said and therefor not necessary to know. So? Should I limit my knowledge or try and create the first electric bulb or phone? I chose to expand my knowledge and share with you the view of the Creator through the perspective of an autistic person.

Part 1 - Interpreting interpreted interpretations

The Bible!

One of the best known books on earth may it be known by name or known by those who read or study it.

I want to start off by saying that I am not denying the Bible in any way. But I am not necessarly saying that everything is as is and as it has been written.

I consider the Bible to be a huge worldwide telephone game. You know the telephone game? That's when 1 person says something in the ear of another person and the next one repeats it to the ear of the next, then, at the end, the final person says out loud what was told in his ear and we mostly laugh because of how distorted a sentence can be from the first person who said it.

Considering the facts of the Bible, I will concentrate on 4 main events:

• The Creation - Adam and Eve
• The ark of Noah
• The Babel Tower
• The 10 commandements with Moses

The big game in the christian world is the interpretation of the Bible. I have spent my life reading the french version of the Bible. The church I attended back then was using the "Osterval" version while many others use the very popular "Louis Segond". In english, I was introduced with the King James version with a side by side comparison with the Living Bible. I will be using the King James version but in the end, it does not make any difference but I will come back to this detail later.

Let's begin with the creation. First off, we have 1 entity named God which in french is written as "Dieu". So right there, we are dealing with a God figure in a spiritual realm, or in a non-human dimension of this world. What language do you think God used to pronounce the words that created this world? Becaue not even 2 verses beginning in the Bible and we clearly have an idea that something was spoken by what God uses as what we humans know as mouth.

Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

As you can see, it clearly says "God said". So right away we are introduced in a very subtle yet critical importance for the rest of my subject, interpretation. This verse says that God says "Let there be light". Does anyone actually have a clue on which sylables God used to pronounce these words? Which language is this? Is it a human audible and speakable language? Nothing is said about this. Yet, this tiny detail has slipped by and all Christians nowdays take the Bible as is without thinking about this tiny detail that makes a difference. God created light. So what, he created the sun, the moon, the stars? What IS light? Did God create light as a specific thing and chose to create sources that will produce what he initially created? What if light just came from nowhere. Noone can be sure of anything.

The ark of Noah was a 2nd start for God's human creation. I will talk more about that in another article. But as we see through the Bible about that event:

Genesis 6:11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

The word used here is corrupt. Then, later in verse 13, God clearly had a human understandable voice and we see that he spoke to Noah saying that "the earth is filled with violence". 2 things are weirdly arranged in theses verse, first we get this:

verse 11: The earth also was corrupt before God

Then we have:

verse 12: And God looked upon the earth

We seem to see that we, as the reader, know that the earth was corrupt before God even looked upon it to realise it. AND in 2 lines, we are doubling the concept of the earth is corrupt, okay, we get it. Now, leaving this detail behind, we also see that God wants to destroy violence and not necessarely corruption. But again, that's still unclear and debatable. The main point to say here is that we have a totally NEW Adam and Eve since God has destroyed the entirety of flesh with the exception of the people and animals in the Ark. May I also point out that there is nothing written about sea creatures here. But that's just another detail we won't talk about here.

Now, the next portion of the Bible will most certainly drive the center point of this article. The tower of Babel notes the beginning of all of the different languages. It basically states that all humans spoke one single language and that God saw this as not good. Well, technically, it's the fact that humans wanted to reach God that displeased God, but that also is for another time. Let's see what the Bible states for the Tower of Babel.

Genesis 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
...
6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

So we see that God created humans to be intelligent but did not want them to be too intelligent so to reduce that intelligence and make them not understand themselves. I won't go too deep in this and I simply says very shortly the idea about Babel here, but the point is, we now have an earth with all it's diversity, languages and cultures.

Now, one may argue about the language spoken at the time of Adam and Eve and most possible the same during Noah's age. But noone from that era lives today to come forth and confirm anything. This now means 2 things, most people do not understand themselves from other languages which now makes us wonder, where do the translators come from? If initially they did not exist and everyone did not understand themselves anymore, who decided to interpret "God" as "Dieu" in french and why does "God" BECOME "Dieu". My name is David, English, French, Chinese, Arab, Mexican, no matter which letters you use, my name, no matter the language will always be spelled David. The other funny thing is that David in French is not pronounced the same way in English, the "A" has a different sound. I'll be back to this later.

Then we come to our 4th moment with Moses and the 10 commandements making this moment a historical biblical moment where people had now been given the law by God. Yet, this law was written by God himself on tablets.

Exodus 24:12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.

Exodus 31:18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

May I remind most people that there are over 10 chapters before this has been said and a heck of a lot of verses with "thou shalt" and "thou shalt not" stated in them. We are comming from far. A whole nation of people without any direct or strict laws now have 10 chapters of law to render in their heads. So, here we have the base of what I consider the beginning of the telephone game of the Bible.

Let me first point out HUGE, and I emphasise, HUGE verses that most christians use to accomodate whosoever should be wanting to contradict or speak differently about what the Bible says:

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19  And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

So, from these 2 sources, Christians wil, and I repeat, WILL say that if you add anything to the Bible or remove anything from it, God should definately, most probably make you end up in hell. AND if ever anyone tries to prove that the Bible could have mistakes or errors or have some human interpretation in it, then you are not from God because all scriptures are inspired from God. That's the universal way of Christians to close a discussion with any person that will try to give reason to what Christians consider as faith which I will also talk about in another article.

So, let's sum up something here in a list:

• God spoke in his language
• Humans had just 1 language
• Humans had many different languages
• Humans got a book of laws to remember

Not a single person from this era is alive today to talk about anything. We should now all be believing the Bible word-for-word about what humans have translated for years. And the person that wrote the Bible the very first time, who was he or her? Who decided to faithfully write what happened at the beginning and are we absolutely sure that what is written has been said exactly as it is written? No Christians will ever contest the Bible or try to figure out what could have been possible said or even misinterpreted. All we see here is that we have no clue in what language these things happened, and even with the right language, nothing will ever confirm the exactitude of the translation. My wife is from the Philippines. I have a learned a few words that are simply not sexed while as in english, we clearly have sexed some words. I also heard a preaching once that even the word "God" was totally unexistant from a language. And NOW, we have Bibles in the SAME language but in different translations.

We humans have a very hard time understanding ourselves and even after all those years of existance, noone can totally explain exactly what the Bible definately means. As my father once said by hearing it by a dying man, this man said that he had just barely understood a tiny portion of what the Bible was. So now we face one bigger issue. A lifetime reading the same book without understanding. Not only are the translators not able to bring history into tangible and solid undeniable facts but even the humans studying cannot even strongly suggest a definitive answer to some of the most basic questions of life.

I once heard a man talk about hell being like living within the lava pit inside an active volcano while having worms eating you out for eternity. That was his vision of hell. And yet, many Christians, instead of searching for real answers will use the lazy way to believe. It's much easier to believe that the earth is like a sphere than launching ourselves in space to see for ourselves to confirm. And it's much easier to believe that some planets are just gas and not really solid than to check for sure. Noone has dug deep enough on earth to prouve anything about the cores that is tought at school, and yet, it is taught at school in our serious science classes. Humans created machines to explain things and interpret what is unknown and we have been interpreting these interpretations over and over again and we built schools on top of this knowledge. But these are easier to understand as we see them and hear them, speak them and touch them. But faith is untouchable and God is unreachable, physically speaking.

One day, a man gave me his study on mariage because he thought I was sining and not righteous. That day, I understood something really important. If he can write and teach me, why can't I? The answer is, I CAN! So I opened the Bible and chose to try to understand what pastors are preaching, what Christians are sharing and I understood that Christians simply play the telephone game by interpreting interpreted interpretations. It's far easier to simplify something that has been said already than to discover for yourself. And being autistic, like all my fellow autistic friends out there, I thinks and see the world differently and this is my view of the Creator from what I have read and discovered by myself.

You know the saying: A job is never better done than by yourself, well, I say:

"You'll never discover more by learning from someone else. Believe in your comprehension capacity and you'll discover more than those before you."
