What is The Book of Genesis Really Describing?

From The Gospel of Thomas... Quote;

39. Jesus said,

“The Pharisees and the Scribes
have taken The Keys of Knowledge
and Hidden Them.

They themselves have NOT entered,
nor have they allowed to enter
those who wish to.

Another ancient writing regarding the beginning is....

CORPUS HERMETICUM

Matrix Traveller - sorry for not responding soon - got busy on another post.
Anyway, can you sum up The Corpus Hermeticum and what does it have to do with the account in Genesis?

thanks

There are many ancient writings similar to the Genesis in the bible.
Corpus Hermeticum is just one example.

www.sacred-texts.com...

I am Not a Gnostic or of their church or any other church on Earth.

The Genesis is Not talking about a structure people believe it to be in their understanding.
By reading these other writings, soon gives you a better understanding of the writings.
The writing that is called The Genesis, has been corrupted by men interested in power and politics to the extent of all but loosing the knowledge within.

This is why I broke it down to expose its true interpretation, so if you wish to find the truth what ever it may be please put your own beliefs and interpretations aside for a moment and re read the 2 Opening Posts.
When you get a true grasp of what I am saying then you may find a very interesting story.

I am not asking anyone to believe my interpretation, but if you study the Opening Posts, they may allow you to discover another way of looking at what is/was contained in these writings.

What the writings are describing, is Not just the Earth and the Universe, but describes the Construct of the Environment, that This Experience (Earth and Universe) has been Constructed IN.....

The Majority of the human species, can only interpret the writings according to the material world they are aware of, that has molded their thinking and beliefs by propaganda from many different sources.

But there is more to it, than Most realise.

There are some who are aware of the Construct, and what this little Universe really is.

The writings in fact had nothing at all to do with religion origionally, but it is the human species, that has corrupted the original knowledge and made a religion out of this, Corrupted version to try and hide the Truth…

People today can only interpret what is left of these writings in a human way, humanising all its contents as they are ignorant of their own root.

As a result of many years of study, I have discovered much and have come to a totally different understanding of these writings.

I am not what you would call religious, but more into the mechanics of how this experience (Earth and Universe) is produced, that has involved me in full time work over the last 16 years and 25 years, part time prior to these last 16 years. A total of about 41 years.

To understand these writings we First need to define what the Word "WE" refers to...

There are two things involved...

a. What is being Experienced or....

b. The Observer which is Not the Flesh but a Droplet of LIFE.


So which do you define yourself as being ???

a. The Flesh... That which is being observed or....

b. The Observer i.e. that which is LIFE and Not of the Flesh or Universe.

If you claim to be Flesh, then your understanding will be Different, that if you are a Droplet of LIFE i.e. Awareness, Consciousness, Mind or Spirit.

So both Interpretations can't convince each other, Regarding Knowledge of themselves and the real universe....

Remember our environment is an interpretation after being decoded through our Brain...

What Produces the Experience of this Little Universe, is totally different than that which we interpret the experience to be.

You should do the same analysis but in the text's original language, and I think you might come to some very different, but equally interesting, conclusions.

Thank you for your Post...

From many years ago when younger, I did in fact do this but since
I have also looked at many other writings as well.

There will always be much more I can learn...

Take a look at my other thread involving the Soul
(Does anyone actually Know what the Soul is?)
if you get time as I am showing (Recently) some of the Construct,
involving the Soul and will be explaining its processing system.

There is No guess work involved in what I am trying to show...

I have drawn over 50,000 drawings (Geometric) documenting the Structure
of the Soul and its workings. You will find examples of this in my thread…

“Does anyone actually Know what the Soul is?”

I have been involve full time, in R&D regarding this, for about 16+ years now.
And some 30 years prior to this, part time.

I will do my best to explain what I have found so far...

I have also experienced so called death in 1973.
I was pronounced Brain Dead for a period in access of 30 minutes.

As a Result... my understanding of the All, was dramatically changed
and no longer look at some things in a human way, but I can see what I learnt,
written in the ancient writings, the Genesis included, although I was educated differently,
involving theology and religious studies, prior to my death experience.
(but now I do Not know what death is, and can only say it is a human myth.)

Many of the writings contain multiple stories, as many are in the form
of a parable for the True Mind and not for the human Primate.
No matter what language or corruption is in the writings, the "Parable"
involving the Soul and the Creation still comes through.

So we have a story contained in the physical history, but this also tells us
another story involving the Soul and the True Mind, Awareness,
Consciousness, LIFE or whatever name you like to call it,
and what your world is Created IN, and how.

Check out Ezekiel Chapter 40 (Try and Draw down what
is described) as this is a description of the Entry Labyrinth to the Soul Construct.
There is some corruption in the writing but it is generally still intact

Even the Hebrew and other writings cam from the ZIONic writings that
no longer exist and the knowledge of the ZIONic language was taken
from humankind When the Jews were taken into exile) But in saying this,
it can be recovered if we are willing to search in our hearts for the Truth.

The ZIONic Language still exists as the Written Language of The Soul.

You see the experience of your Universe has been Created IN
and by something that is Non-dimensional having No size or Shape.
This is why it is so hard for most to understand...

What you experience is Not produced In or By what you see.

In other words the Workings that produce your experience is totally different
than what you experience.

The Universe is manifested through the WORD.

The WORD is made up of letters and the WORD's produce a Story.

In other words your world is produced Via a written Story your Soul
is reading. The Soul Manifests your universe Inside the Soul,
so Each Soul has a Copy of the All and are all a Part of a huge network,
some refer to or express as being God.

In the Book of Act Chapter 17 verses 22 to 34 refers to this. check it out...

[edit on 26-4-2010 by The Matrix Traveller]

This doesn't flow well with my beliefs in Ancient Astronaut Theory.

For instance, when it says the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were beautiful they took wives of there choosing and bore great kings, kings of renown.

This was said right after the "make man in our image, after our likeness"

This plurality is showing God is a race of beings and not one thing. There is no argument that there is a hierarcy of beings in religion ie. angels,

These sons of another race (God) saw that man was beautiful (This man being the creation of mixing there genetics (breath of light) and man, most likely a bipedal primate (of the earth)

This genetic mix turned out to be hotter than they anticipated and they wanted to marry into the mix...

Anyways it's been a blood genes battle since they left the planet, after wiping out most of the abominations in the great floods

Whatever mixed people (Nephiim) that survived the flood became the great Kings of the early Sumerian Egyptian times...

This blood line still runs today but is expressed through wealth not actual physical prominence like a god king

reply to post by AaronTheSpeaker


What you are saying is essentially correct, which I also know is a fact...

So I am in agreement with you.....

The Problem is in the writings where A'Dam and MAN are said to be the same

But this is incorrect...

The writings are also a Parable ie a story of history telling the Parable of God,
The Man Child (Son of MAN) the Soul, The Creation, and the Primate A'DAM.

The Name given to the Soul was MAN

This is Why MAN was made in the Image of God… Two Parts as explained
in the First Chapter of The Gospel according to John.

a. The WORD.
b. The LIFE of God which is The LIGHT of MAN. (NOT A'DAM)

The Name given to the Primate was A'DAM.

Who was NOT in the Image of God, but A’DAM is a Primate….

God is NOT a Primate !

God is....

a. The WORD.
b. The LIFE of God which is The LIGHT of MAN. (NOT A'DAM)

You never hear J.C. being referred to as "The Son of A'DAM"

But only as "The Son of MAN".

As in the Return of the "Son of MAN" Not the Son of A'DAM...

A'Dam’s Life was the Breath of air.

The Son of MAN's LIFE is the LIGHT of MAN or the LIFE of GOD.

Yes Breeding did take place between Alien and The Descendants of A'DAM,
and still continues today in the offspring of Hybrid races.
200 came to the Earth and Bread with the daughters of the offspring
of A'Dam which produced the different races.
Some grew into Giants 600 ells high...

The Suppression of information regarding, what some call UFO and Alien activity
is because of the Breeding Programs that are still in existence today.

Governments are dictated to by these aliens that desire the breeding program.

But getting back to the writings both the Names A'DAM and MAN have been confused
as the species coveted the Name MAN. ie the descendants of A'DAM (The Flesh)
Coveted the Name MAN and called themselves MAN.

There is a War between the Soul and The Descendants of A'DAM.

The Species are being brain washed into believing they are MAN...
But MAN is the Soul Not the Primate.
And A'DAM is the Flesh...

[edit on 26-4-2010 by The Matrix Traveller]

But why try so hard to descern the two when essentially it is that duality that comprises us to fullest

reply to post by AaronTheSpeaker


What you experience ie that is the Universe is only the Result of reading a story displayed in the Soul...

The Soul is....



The Man Child or Son of MAN is in the Centre.

But the Descendants of A'DAM are Primates Nothing like the Partition Map of the Soul shown above that Plays the BOOKS.

The LIFE or True Mind Dwells or LIVES IN the Soul.

The Soul is LIVING but the Descendants of A'DAM are Not Alive
in the sense of being the Living One...

From The Gospel of Thomas... Quote;

56. Jesus said,

“Whoever has come to understand the World

has found only a corpse,

and whoever has found a corpse

is superior to the World.”

The World is a Corpse or in other words has NO LIFE.

LIFE Dwells in The Soul and the World is but an Interactive Picture Story
of the Soul.

The Experience is Through The WORD of God...

ie The WORD is the Program Story Played in The Soul.

The flesh I experience is from a program Book, but I, the Living One, is the Reader of the Book.

So you see the two different Components... plus the Living One...

a. The Soul body shown in the Drawing above.
b. The body of Flesh and
c. The Living one that experiences these Two... LIFE or the True Mind.

You might try my method and seperate technology and humanity in your interpretations,then identify and solve most of the technology questions with the knowledge now we have,we are then left with the humanity part which is utter BS designed to manipulate people ,if you are still with me then we now have to try to decipher what the message is regarding the technological references ,jeepers creepers its obvious adam was a designed genetic project and so was eve.Reverse extrapolate and you will discover the rest,I did.So will you,just remember seperate humanity based issues from obvious technology related issues and mine the leftovers for your own answers.

reply to post by one4all


Why are 2 pairs of entities mentioned in Genesis?

First Pair.

a. MAN and,
b. WO-MAN.

Second Pair.

a. A'DAM.
b. EVE.


Then these 2 pairs, are mixed together in the writings
as though MAN & A'DAM are the same,
and WOMAN and EVE are the same ???

The MAN Child is referred to as "The Son of MAN".

And is Never referred to as The Son of A'DAM ???

Note the similarity between MAN & WO-MAN in Names ???

But in the Case of A'DAM & EVE dissimilarity in Names ???



From "The Gospel of Thomas",
which I have brought up many times before,
in verse 56....Quote;

56. Jesus said,

“Whoever has come to understand the World

has found only a corpse,

and whoever has found a corpse

is superior to the World.”

And we find in verse 52....Quote;

52. His disciples said to Him,

“Twenty-four prophets spoke in Israel,

and all of them spoke in You.”

He (Jesus) said to them,

“You have omitted The Living One in your presence

and have spoken only of the Dead.”

And again in verse 84.... Quote;

84. Jesus said,

“When you See your likeness, you rejoice.

But when you See Your Images,

which came into being Before You,

and which Neither Die Nor Become Manifest,

How Much You Will Have To Bear!”

And found in verse 50... Quote;

50. Jesus said,

“If they say to you,

“Where did you come from?”

say to them, “We came from The Light,

the place where The Light came into being

on Its own accord and established Itself

and became manifest through their Image.”

If they say to you, “Is it you?”

say, “We are its children, and we are the elect
of The Living Father.”

If they ask you,

“What is the sign of your Father in you?”

say to them,

“It is Movement and Repose."

And finally in verse 39... Quote;

39.
Jesus said,

“The Pharisees and the Scribes

have taken The Keys of Knowledge
and Hidden Them.

They themselves have NOT entered,

nor have they allowed to enter
those who wish to.

In the above there appears to be 2 different entities referring to...

a. The world.... i.e. The human species and its environment.
b. LIFE... not of the human species and its environment.

Interesting ???

[edit on 6-5-2010 by The Matrix Traveller]

What is the soul you asked? I'll be adding posts to define what it is to the finest measure allowed for man to peer. I think you're doing well, to study God's written words. Bless you.

Please bear in mind that without Wisdom who is Jesus the Word of the Father, and the Holy Spirit who enlightens, people tend to humanize what they do not perceive. For Creation is God's and Only God can properly explain it. Just as the Author of book can only properly explain what he/she wrote. Thus, mankind errs to maximum imperfection about Creation and where man actually came from. Until now. Behold all the explanations that you ever wanted in 8 books approximately 6000 + pages, approximately, I have to tally up the pages. But here's an excerpt the first of many if you can bear it. Please tell me if you cannot and I will oblige your request.

Jesus says:

"You are concerned about protracting what you call 'living' which would more properly be called 'waiting' and you are not concerned about waiting in such a way as to conquer for yourselves true Life which never perishes."

"You are concerned about everything in this dark period, which seems so luminous to you, of your stay on earth--which I have already explained to you as being like a gestation in order to be given to the Light, to Life-- and look with horror at the tomb, a dark hole where this body of yours, which you love, as the idolaters you are, return to the truth of its origin: mud. Mud from which there is released a flame, a light: the soul."

"This is what gives worth to the body, O foolish men. The soul which is the gift of God, the spirit which is the manifestation of God and which has a worth in the face of which that of the flesh is a paltry nothing."

"But how can you, who call yourselves Christians, not remember the words of Christ, of the Word, of Truth? Didn't I tell you, 'Whoever wants to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses it out of love for Me will save it'? Didn't I say, 'And what use is it for a man to gain the whole world if he loses his soul'? What will man give in exchange for his soul? Didn't I say, 'The grain of wheat which falls does not fructify unless it dies, but if it dies, it produces much fruit? And hasn't all of this opened the eyes of your spirit?"

"But, indeed, how can your spirit open its eyes if you have buried it under the stones of your carnality? It is like a martyr who has been stoned the flesh will die and the spirit will enter into glory, whereas you, on the other hand, stone your spirit and rob it of the Light here and in true Life."

A myth that isn't even their story, it's a Sumerian myth that was revamped for the monotheistic beleif system. Creation, regardless of all those people that say they know, is just a mystery nobody has the answer to, not philosphers, not theists, not scientists, nobody has the true creation story. There's no way of knowing since we are unable to remember or the ability to even imagine the truth. Our intellect is too primitive.

Sky and Earth - Earth and Sky same thing. God made both. It talks of the Earth and it's atmosphere.

Form - From the Hebrew word meaning "life form"

Void - From the Hebrew word meaning desolate, barren, empty

Darkness - Not quite night but pretty dark - cloud cover blotting out sunshine to a point near total darkness.

Face of the waters - planet covered water

Let there be light - clouds break up and sun shines upon the Earth, this marks the first day of the beginning of preparation of the Earth for mankind. There was an evening and morning and a first day. (The Earth was already rotating in space since it already existed prior to Genesis 1:2


The rest of the account details how God replenished the Earth with life, BTW something he had to do again with Noah. If you read where Adam was told the replenish the Earth, and then Noah was also told (after the Earths surface was again covered in darkness and completely covered in water, again. Since there was life in the Ark, there was no need to do a complete re-creation, but to allow that life to re inhabit the Earth when God again let the sunlight shine upon the Earth and the dry land again appeared.

WoW Great post

I have one question. As you say! its important to understand the beginning before you can move on to understand the rest. I agree totally

My question is:

Why would God say that he created the heaven and the earth first. But then go on to say that Earth was without form and void?

With out form and void means no shape or dimension. That would mean that earth cant exist but still it does?
That doesn't make sense.

To me it sounds like earth is also heaven at this stage? Heaven and earth is one and the same thing. It just hasn't taken shape yet or been separated into heaven and earth. As the text say.

To say that God first created The Heaven and the Earth must be a miss interpretation from Moses. Because later God tells us that earth is without form and void.

Would it be right to assume that God actually first created heaven. And "with" Or "out of" heaven God created the earth?

Question: Do you have an idea of what heaven is?








[edit on 27.06.08 by spy66]

The Book of Genesis and every book of the Bible, or the Book of books, can only be properly interpreted by the Author--the Holy Spirit, who is Grace for mankind. T

Genesis the first chapter is a rendition of and in the Second Chapter is the breakdown. It is confusing if you read it in one take. But that's because your mind is not elevated. It is not used to the way God has written it.

How can God write it?

God breathed into Adam and gave him life. This part breathed, is obscure in most minds. Because no one has 'seen' the True God. So they cannot imagine God breathing into Adam's face.

Now if your mother was to breathe into your face to bring you back to life because you lost breath, Her breath rescued you.

In the same token, Adam who was lifeless, before God breathed into him is pretty much like you when you had lost breath. Breath as in stopped breathing. So it's 'her' breath. Whereas it's God's breath that started the First Man. And he, Adam was called a son. Now, Breath is God's essence. Just as your mothers breath is her essence. What comes from inner to outer or internally given to another is essence. Essence is also, the love from one heart to another. I give you my essence. Thoughts, feelings, emotions all come from within or internal. Now God when He breathed had infused Himself into Adam and gave Adam thought, free will, intelligence, the ability to reason. Free will is a big deep thought. How deep? So deep it will make you think deeply. Freedom is spoken lightly in the world. Or among others. But there are plenty who have contemplated the depths of free will, what it really is. It gives you and makes you free to choose and act. Now God created Adam 'good'. But Adam wanted to 'know' evil, to experience evil.

We have two opposing forces sort of speaking. One is All Good and the other is All Evil, full of hatred. Hate. God is love. So hate took up arms against Love. Who is strongest? God. Lucifer is a created being by God. Who and what is God? God is 'Infinite' in every good. Infinite in Being. There is no beginning and there is no end. God Is. He is not a Created Being. He simply exists. No parents, no mother, He Is. Thus He created all that is to be created and still creates new planets, stars, nebula so forth and every new soul born into existence on earth. Angels were created once. They do no procreate. They are guardian angels, messengers, ministers of God to mankind. To help mankind reach Heaven and Know God fully.

Lucifer was created by God to have as the leader of all the angels to give to man the divine knowledge and understanding he was created perfect. He was second only to God. He was a very powerful and gifted beautiful archangel.

[edit on 1-

[edit on 11-5-2010 by Jahosaphat]

Lucifer in God's words was, the pure mirror of God, reflecting God's purity and perfection. What a perfect creature Lucifer truly was. It's quite a shame. But we cannot penetrate into Lucifer for in doing so is a bad choice. It is a prohibition. God said to Adam 'do not', eat from that tree. This is a prohibition from God. 'Do not'. The same when your mother says 'do not', but who listens? Not many. And many do. I don't think I did!

Lucifer chose to oppose God, because 'he' wanted it all! Yes, read Isaiah 14. He wanted it all. What is a pure mirror? It reflects whoever is looking at it. Lucifer was God's mirror to man. Imagine an angel that we could look at and hear God perfectly! To see God in Heaven through this divine creature. What a gift to mankind. Instead Lucifer admired himself. Instead of admiring God. Thus he became the traitor, rebel, hater of God and is man's foremost enemy. But, you know, the Church leaders on earth failed to tell the rest of the world this information. So God is punishing each one that knew but failed to inform. Much is required of him whom much has been given. The priest has been given a great portion, thus much is required of every priest.

This rule also applies to every man that has received 'much'. To give. God is Love, he is not a proud God, He is not a miserly God, look at what He gives on a daily basis. Your home, your job, your wife and children--regardless of their stances, they are there, your car, your food supply, your very life. All comes from God. The Universe and it's hosts, the earth and it's population of every living thing. The earth is living, a rock is living, a grain of sand is living, water is living, everything God created, lives in it's form. Our living is different from their living. They do not have a soul, free will to walk about and make comments. These things are not animated. Animals do not have a soul. Only man has a soul.

Animals cannot reason. They cannot talk conversantly. They have no imgination. Why? because they have no soul that allows them to do so.
A soul in it, is intelligence, mind, free will, spirit, ability to reason.

Animals were created, and they were given commands by God to honor and respect their 'king' on earth--Man.

What do angels do when they see Christ in a man? They worship Him in our souls. We become mirrors of God. In the same token if we become pure in heart, we see God in Angels, reflecting God to us. Thus, angels who serve God bring God to us. What a nice gift. A great gift. Thus pray to your angel to bring more light of God to you. When you pray your angel hears and sends it to God through their reflection. Heaven is reflections as well. Reflecting God in every being. A perfect Paradise untold and unseen by human flesh. Only Jesus and Mary. The rest are spirits awaiting the Final Resurrection wherein all mankind will be reclothed with flesh and stand before God to be judged.

Then as foretold the New Heavens and the New Earth will descend from God. And those faithful to God will live ever after without end or disturbance from Demons and the likes of them. That is why we must work hard to overcome the Serpents Poison, to get rid of it all. No evil will be allowed in Heaven. Only Those who love God and neighbor 'perfectly' according to the laws of Charity. Charity. This is tough. Because evil is full and ripe on planet earth. Only then those who persevere and fight to the end to conquer and obtain the right to be There. Good will leads to God. If you did not deserve hell you will not merit it. It's all based on merits. If merits there is also demerits.

Jesus said: "love God with all your being" and 'love your neighbors as you love yourselves.' This latter means not to love yourself. It means to become 'love' just like God, therefore imitate the Perfect Love. Assimilate love into your very soul. God loves a cheerful giver because it imitates Him perfectly.

[edit on 11-5-2010 by Jahosaphat]

Jesus speaks:

When the Creator made the Earth, He drew it out of nothing, uniting gases of ether (which was previously created and became firmament) into a mass, which, in rotating, became solid like a meteoric avalanche which continually grew around a primitive nucleus.

Even your Negation - a term I give to that Science which wants to explain things without God - admits the centripetal force, which allows a body to rotate without losing parts of itself, or rather it attracts all parts to its center. You have machines, which however grandiose, still repeat in a microscopic way the centripetal force created by God to create worlds, and force them to rotate around the sun, a fixed pivot, unable to leave the Heavenly paths assigned to them; otherwise, they would disturb the order of creation and provoke cataclysms with incalculable destructions.

The Earth, thus getting its form during it's course as a nebular projectile, which solidifies itself crossing space, and to rob, even by force, also emanations and elements which came from other sources, and which remained locked up in it under the form of volcanic fires, sulphurs, waters, and divers minerals. These appear on the surface giving testimony of their existence and of the mysteries, which with all your science you do not succeed in explaining with exact truth, the mysteries of the Earth, a planet created from nothing by God, My Father.

How many good forces you still do not know, you who are the masters at discovering and using wicked forces! This latter you ask from the Evil one, and he teaches them to you, to torture you and make you torturers of your fellow - men, in his name, and in his service. But you refuse to ask for the good forces from Goodness, who would teach you Paternally, just as He taught the first men, who were also guilty and condemned by Him, the means and the ways of how to use during their existence on the Earth.

There are still beneficial sources and healthy juices which you do not know, and which would be so useful to know. Also there are some you know about, but you do not use them, preferring instead true drugs of hell, which destroy both your soul and body.

Therefore, will these springs cease to exist, springs in which the salts are dissolved, the salts taken from minerals enclosed in the womb of your planet; the springs which appear from stratum and through veins of ground on the surface, either freezing or boiling, tasteless, colorless, odorless or with taste, with color, with smell perceptible to your senses? No. They continue being made inside the Earth, by a process of continual assimilation and transformation, like that when food in your stomach becomes blood, nourishing the tissues and marrows, the organs and cells, which in turn produce the blood. They continue trickling, just as sweat seeps out through the tissues of the body. "They obey." If this were to stop, there would be many terrestrial explosions, and the Earth, like a boiler without any opening, would explode, killing all of you.

Regarding the description of the Mirror...

the pure mirror of God

From "John’s Preaching of the Gospel The Acts of John 87-105"

25.
“I am a Mirror to you
Who know Me.”
“Amen.”

The Word "I" in this verse.... refers to J.C.

[edit on 11-5-2010 by The Matrix Traveller]

The Breath given to A'DAM was Air.

From "The Gospel According to John" Chapter 1 Verse 4.... Quote;

4.
In Him was LIFE,
and The LIFE
was The LIGHT of Men.

And NOT the Breath of Air... as in A'DAM.


In "The Acts of The Apostles Chapter" 17 Verse 29.

29.
Therefore, since we are the offspring of God,
we aught Not to think that the Divine Nature
is like gold or silver or stone,
something shaped by art or man's devising.

God is NOT a Primate as A'DAM is/was.

It does NOT say God Created A'DAM in their Image...
(God i.e. The WORD and The LIGHT of MAN or LIFE of God)

But it Does say, God Created MAN in His Image.

Hence "The Son of MAN"

"The Son of A'DAM" ??? (Meaning the same as "The Son of MAN"?)

it just doesn't sound quite right does it ????

Something’s very wrong in the Translation or the Book???

A'Dam is/was an animal i.e. of The Primate Species.

From "The Gospel of Thomas"... Quote;

85.
Jesus said,

“Adam came into being
from a great power and a great wealth,
but he did not become worthy of you.

For had he been worthy,
he would not have experienced death.”

And again from "The Gospel of Thomas"... Quote;

56.
Jesus said,

“Whoever has come to understand the World

has found only a corpse,

and whoever has found a corpse

is superior to the World.”

But the Soul is The offspring of God and is Made in the Image of God.

So God Does NOT look like a Primate (Animal).

But The Soul is the Offspring of God, so it is in The Image of God.
