DEVOLUTION

Now we turn to the non-canonical Books of Adam and Eve to explain what happened with original sin — the first sin: 

Then Adam wept and said, "O God, when we dwelt in the Garden, and our hearts were lifted up, we saw the angels that sang praises in heaven, but now we do not see as we were used to do; nay, when we entered the cave, all creation became hidden from us."

Then God the Lord said unto Adam, "When you were under subjection to Me, you had a bright nature within you, and for that reason could you see things afar off. But after your transgression your bright nature was withdrawn from you; and it was not left to you to see things afar off, but only near at hand; after the ability of the flesh; for it is brutish." (1 A&E VIII:1-2)

 The nature of the two changed with sin. Their ‘nature’ therein went from their God-given constitution to something else that was ‘brutish’ — something typical of a beast.

Another explanation is that their fleshes became sensual. Before, the two had been as God and after sin, like the Beast to whom they were having intercourse with new knowledge (You fill in the type of knowledge yourselves while keeping in mind that it comes from the Book of Genesis, so it was genetic.); they were more instinctive and sought to appease the fleshly desires.

Now refer to the flipped diagram of evolution from the last commentary. By flipping the artwork, it is mirrored. Rather than evolution of ape to man, the chart becomes the evolution of man to ape. “And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord” (Gen 4:3). Apes came from man but so did manlike beings; perhaps Neanderthals and so forth.

Cain was of the Wicked One (1 John 3:12). Cain was genetically of Eve and the Beast. How humiliating is that? Eve was the “mother of all living” (Gen 3:20) and Cain’s humanity came from Adam via Eve, since Eve was of the kind, Adam. However, Cain was also of the Beast and degenerated into the image of the ‘Serpent’ — the Beast.

The Beast was not some snake but had the cunning like that kind. (Gen 3:1). The Beast was an angelic being that had rebelled against God, ostensibly rejecting the Image of God that had been within himself. (Note that personal pronouns are used but the Beast was an ‘It’ (‘Is in the Hebrew), or another kind of existence that was demonic in nature.  

The Beast is called, ‘Satan’ because the angel, ‘Lucifer’ is an adversary of God (Isa 14:13-14). Satan was originally only in Cain’s kind genetically, thus ‘Genesis.’  Only God is all-knowing and always present, but Satan is present in the genes of human beings. Now how meek are you?

The word of Satan is in your genome… in your DNA. With that now known, it should make clear the meaning of Jesus’s Words: 

You are of your father the Devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (John 8:44)

 So, you think that you know the truth although you are not a Christian? A Christian has the Word of God within, from the genes of Jesus. Everybody is born in sin, “For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God” (Rom 3:23). The Word, “Jesus,” is the ‘Glory of God” as Stephen explained.

“Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people” (Acts 6:8) spoke about Jesus, “being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the Glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God” (Acts 7:55).

Jesus is the ‘Glory of God’ but what made Him so? His body, flesh, and nature are from the very Image of God —  a ‘Son’ in the sense of genetics.

How could Jesus be both God and the Son of God? Not by birth but because the Image, or Genome, of God was in His flesh. In other words, the DNA of Jesus was the DNA of God, therefor the genesis of God is what the Bible is all about; Jesus coming into Being was in the process of time, or ‘genesis.’

With Jesus’s dead, the genesis of the Old Testament was finished. Jesus finalized the genetics of God when on the Cross, “He said, ‘It is finished’ and He bowed his head and gave up the ghost” (John 19:30).

That brings the reader full circle from the first Adam to the ‘last Adam” (Jesus; 1 Cor 15:45) back to the first Adam. Adam was not the name of the first man nor the last ‘Man” as Jesus identified Himself as the ‘Son of Man’ (Mat 8:12). By that, Jesus meant that both Himself and Adam were of the same genes, or of the same posterity, both the posterity of God.

Adam and Jesus were both of the gens of God and made in the Image of God. He and Adam were ‘sons” of God genetically, and so are all righteous people for even Adam was made righteous by God’s infusion of His Glorious Genes into his flesh (Gen 2:7).

Sin despoiled the genes of the female Adam, then she infused mutated genes into Cain. Satan put guile into Eve and somehow her nature was changed from God’s (Selem) to the Beast’s (Nahas).

The Hebrew word ‘selem’ means a ‘shadow’ or ‘phantom;’ hence Adam and his mate had God within their ‘shadows’ or ‘souls.’

Nahas was the original Hebrew letter nun, and its hieroglyph is the snake. Therefore, the image of Lucifer was not a serpent at all; that was only the hieroglyphic for cunningness, or the nature of the Beast.

The “Beast’ was only a beast in the sense that its kind was not the Image of God (selem) but another sly image (Nahas). That explanation should erase the mythological component of the Judeo-Christian religion.

That is the background for what comes next: the first Adam was made Glorious. and all the children of Eve ever since come short of that Glory. In other words, mankind degenerated.

As David so aptly admitted, his excuse for coming short of the glory of God was that he was “shapen in iniquity” (Psalm 51:5). He was formed in the womb depraved, and not glorious. David knew that his flesh was that of the Beast and that sin is genetic. To be straightforward, ‘mankind’ is no longer mankind but alien to God.

Speaking to the Ephesians Paul wrote about the Gentiles, “Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them” (Ephes 4:18).

Gentiles are those with the gens not of the Israelites. They were not chosen nor peculiar people but ordinary people whose gens were of the Wicked One. Paul knew that they were people alien to God and that their nature was dark and in the image of the Wicked One.

God had reconstituted the genetics of the progeny of ‘Father Abraham.’ Because Abram had passed through the fire of Ur, he was old and impotent. Sarai was barren. Thus, Isaac was reconstituted as another ‘Adam.’ Gentiles were not reconstituted; they remained of the Wicked One.

The entire Bible is about degeneration and regeneration. The deluge of Noah’s day was the destruction of the genes of the wicked ones because they had become totally depraved and were wantonly sharing deviant genes with the daughters of men. Giants had shared their carnal knowledge with the ‘sons of God’ (Gen 6:4), not God’s actual sons, but the few remaining of Seth’s line with the Genes of God in them.

Thus, the flood was all about man-improvement just like the blood of Jesus was propitiated for “for sins that are past” — genetic sins (Rom 3:25).

As Eve pointed out, she and Eve from the start had bright natures.

In the Books of Adam and Eve, Adam encountered Satan who explained that it was him who beguiled Eve, posing as a serpent. He, or ‘it,’ explained to Adam both his fall and why we all fall; "Therefore did I fall, and did I make you fall by that for which I myself fell; and with you also, whosoever accepts my counsel, falls thereby” (1A&E LVII:6). The nature of the Beast got into the Garden, into the female Adam, and into all of Adam’s kind through Eve. Satan was truthful enough that he admitted that it was genetic. To be genetic, he must have come unto Eve in the same manner that the daughters of man were came unto (Gen 6:4).

You should really feel meek by now; neither you nor anyone else are ‘children of God’ but ‘sons of Satan’ because Satan is in our genomes! His will is our will, and it is his will that we do instinctively.

Satan deceived Eve into thinking that her DNA would make her offspring gods. That was the cunningness that made him the ‘Serpent.’ Finally, he revealed the truth — they are not gods nor even belong to God, that they are his progeny.

Since mankind degenerated, they had not evolved in a positive sense; they had devolved, evolving toward the worse. The process in time was by the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Something was lost in the process of time that could not be recovered given no outside energy. Then came the flood and the lost beings were simply flushed down the drain like any waste. God had disposed of the carbon-based organisms, and the carbon chain of Lucifer was broken.

Not only does thermodynamics refute evolving toward the betterment but so does Holy Scripture. Glorious Adamah (the male and female) had devolved into inglorious aliens in generations in the process of time (Gen 5).

Adam devolved in 930 years (Gen 5:5); he went from glorious to dead. His DNA, once eternal, had lost its potency. It became inglorious with sin, and in one generation, the kind with dominion was no more.

Adam’s genes were meant to be dominant but with sin, the Serpent’s became more dominant, and God’s less so, or recessive. It was not that Adam was totally depraved but enough of the gens of God made him worth saving.

So, God put onto Adam and Eve coats of skin (Gen 3:21), implying that he infused their existence with His Genome. He began the regeneration process which would be finished at the crucifixion wherein Adam was surely resurrected with Jesus (Mat 27:53). Adam was finally redeemed by one like he had been in the beginning. Just how was he and Eve in the beginning?
