Genesis chapter 1 modernized

 In the beginning, God created our universe.

 

The earth was a barren abyss shrouded in darkness.

The Spirit of God shielded over the face of the waters.

God said, "Let there be light,"

 

there was light.

God saw that the light was good.

God separated the light from the darkness.

God called the light Day, the darkness he called Night.

There was a resting, there was a renewing,

the first epoch.

 

God said, "Let there be an atmosphere in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters."

 

God created the atmosphere and separated the waters that were under the atmosphere from the waters that were above the atmosphere.

It was so.

God called the atmosphere Heaven.

There was a resting, there was a renewing,

the second epoch.

 

God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear."

It was so.

God called dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas.

God saw that it was good.

 

God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth."

It was so.

The earth brought fourth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and  bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its own kind.

God saw that it was good.

There was a resting, there was a renewing,

the third epoch.

 

God said, "Let there be lights in the atmosphere of the heavens to separate the day from the night. Let them be for signs and for seasons; for days and years. Let them be lights in the atmosphere of the heavens to give light upon the earth."

It was so.

God made visible the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night, and the stars.

God them visible in the atmosphere of the heavens to give light on the earth, to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness.

God saw it was good.

There was a resting, there was a renewing,

the fourth epoch.

 

God said, "Let the waters swarm with living creatures, and let flying creatures fly above the earth across the atmosphere of the heavens."

God created the great sea creatures, all living creatures that move and swarm in the waters according to their kinds and every winged flying creature according to its kind.

God saw that it was good.

God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the waters of the seas, and let the flying creatures multiply on the earth.

There was a resting, there was a renewing,

the fifth epoch.

 

God said, "Let earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds, domestic animals, creeping animals and wild animals of the earth according to their kinds."

It was so.

God made the wild animals of the earth according to their kinds, the domestic animals according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind.

God saw that it was good.

God said, "Let us make man in our image, according to our divine character. Let them have dominion over the sea creatures, the flying creatures of the heavens, the domestic animals, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

God created man in his own image, in the divine character of God he created him; male and female he created them.

God blessed them.

God said to them, "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and manage it. Have dominion over the sea creatures, the flying creatures of the heavens and over every living creature that is moving on the earth."

God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. To every wild animal of the earth, to every flying creature of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food."

It was so.

God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.

There was a resting, there was a renewing,

the sixth epoch.

CONFESSION OF FAITH

  WHAT WE BELIEVE IN, OUR FAITH, IS NOT BASED ON TRUTH IN ANY WAY, OR HISTORICAL FACTS WHETHER IT IS THEOLOGY OR SCIENTIFIC PROOF, BUT RATHER ON WHAT WE WANT TO BELIEVE. THEREFORE, I WANT TO BELIEVE IN A GOD THAT IS COMPREHENSIBLE AND IS REVEALED IN NATURE AS AWESOME. NOT AS AN UNINTELLIGIBLE TRINITY. I WANT TO BELIEVE THE MESSIAH WAS THE FIRSTBORN, ARCH-ANGELIC SON OF GOD WHO CHOSE TO BE REBORN AS HUMAN AND SACRIFICED HIS IMMORTAL SOUL TO GIVE US IMMORTALITY THAT WE LOST BY THE SIN OF ADAM AND EVE. "If there be for him an angel, a mediator , one of the thousand, to declare to man what is right for him, and he is merciful to him, and says, 'Deliver him from going down into the pit; I have found a ransom ; let his flesh become fresh with youth ; let him return to the days of his youthful vigor '; then man prays to God, and he accepts him; he sees his face with a shout of joy, and he restores to man his righteousness . He sings before men and says: 'I sinned and p

BIRTH OF BABYLON

Now all the earth continued to be of one language and one set of words. And it came about that in their journeying eastward they eventually discovered a valley plain in the land of Shinar, and they took up dwelling there. And they began to say, each one to the other: "Come on! Let us make bricks and bake them with a burning process." So brick served as stone for them, but bitumen served as mortar for them. They now said: "Come on! Let us build ourselves a city and also a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a celebrated name for ourselves, for fear we may be scattered over all the surface of the earth." -- Genesis 11: 1-4. And Jehovah proceeded to go down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men had built. After that Jehovah said: "Look! They are one people and there is one language for them all. And this is what they start to do. Why, now there is nothing that they may have in mind to do that will be unattainable for them. Come now!

A Sacred Heirloom - Genesis

A Sacred Heirloom The book of Genesis is a pure, sacred and coveted record of our original ancestors, during the most important time of humanity’s existence – our beginnings. Unfortunately, it’s truth and reality had been obscured in the historical mire of human civilizations from the nearly six thousand years of embellishments of national biases and exaggerations. The following text is from a book I don’t think is available in electronic form. So, I have edited my own copy of it just to reduce the full amout of text. This is a book I beleve that all Christians should have, especially any who needs more faith of the Holy Bible as the Word of God. PART 1 INTRODUCTION: Wiseman, P.J.
