CHAP. XXI.

Adam and Eve attempt suicide .


THEN Adam and Eve went in search of the
garden.
2 And the heat beat like a flame on their
faces; and they sweated from the heat, and
wept before the Lord.
3 But the place where they wept was nigh
unto a high mountain, facing the western
gate of the garden.
4 Then Adam threw himself down from the
top of that mountain; his face was tom and
his flesh was flayed; much blood flowed
from him, and he was nigh unto death.
5 Meanwhile Eve remained standing on the
mountain weeping over him, thus lying.
6 And she said, "I wish not to live after
him; for all that he did to himself was
through me."
7 Then she threw herself after him; and
was torn and scotched by stones; and
remained lying as dead.
8 But the merciful God, who looks upon
His creatures, looked upon Adam and Eve
as they lay dead, and He sent His Word
unto them, and raised them.
9 And said to Adam, "O Adam, all this
misery which thou hast wrought upon
thyself, will not avail against My rule,
neither will it alter the covenant of the
5500 years."

Adam in a chivalrous mood .


THEN Adam said to God, "I wither in the
heat; I am faint from walking, and am loth
of this world. And I know not when Thou
wilt bring me out of it, to rest."
2 Then the Lord God said unto him, "O
Adam, it cannot be at present, not until
thou hast ended thy days. Then shall I
bring thee out of this wretched land."
3 And Adam said to God, "While I was in
the garden I knew neither heat, nor
languor, neither moving about, nor
trembling, nor fear; but now since I came
to this land, all this affliction has come
upon me."
4 Then God said to Adam,
p. 16
"So long as thou wast keeping My
commandment, My light and My grace
rested on thee. But when thou didst
transgress My commandment, sorrow and
misery befell thee in this land."
5 And Adam wept and said, "O Lord, do
not cut me off for this, neither smite me
with heavy plagues, nor yet repay me
according to my sin; For we, of our own
will, did transgress Thy commandment,
and forsook Thy law, and sought to
become gods like unto Thee, when Satan
the enemy deceived us."
6 Then God said again unto Adam,
"Because thou hast borne fear and
trembling in this land, languor and
suffering treading and walking about, going
upon this mountain, and dying from it, I
will take all this upon Myself in order to
save thee."

CHAP. XXIII.

Adam and Eve gird themselves and make
the first altar ever built.


THEN Adam wept more and said, "O God,
have mercy on me, so far as to take upon
Thee, that which I will do."
2 But God took His Word from Adam and
Eve.
3 Then Adam and Eve stood on their feet;
and Adam said to Eve "Gird thyself, and I
also will gird myself." And she girded
herself, as Adam told her.
4 Then Adam and Eve took stones and
placed them in the shape of an altar; and
they took leaves from the trees outside the
garden, with which they wiped, from the
face of the rock, the blood they had spilled.
5 But that which had dropped on the sand,
they took together with the dust wherewith
it was mingled and offered it upon the altar
as an offering unto God.
6 Then Adam and Eve stood under the
altar and wept, thus entreating God,
"Forgive us our trespass 1 and our sin,
and look upon us with Thine eye of mercy.
For when we were in the garden our
praises and our hymns went up before
Thee without ceasing.
7 "But when we came into this strange
land, pure praise was no longer ours, nor
righteous prayer, nor understanding
hearts, nor sweet thoughts, nor just
counsels, nor long discernment, nor
upright feelings, neither is our bright
nature left us. But our body is changed
from the similitude in which it was at first,
when we were created.
8 "Yet now look upon our blood which is
offered upon these stones, and accept it at
our hands, like the praise we used to sing
unto Thee at first, when in the garden."
9 And Adam began to make more requests
unto God.

SAID TO BE USED ABOUT 150 YEARS
BEFORE OUR LORD: Our Father, Who art in
Heaven, be gracious unto us, O Lord our
God, hallowed be Thy Name, and let the
remembrance of Thee be glorified in
Heaven above and upon earth here below.
Let Thy kingdom reign over us now and
forever. The Holy Men of old said remit
and forgive unto all men whatsoever they
have done unto me. And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from the evil
thing; for Thine is the kingdom and Thou
shalt reign in glory forever and
forevermore, AMEN.

CHAP. XXIV.

A vivid prophecy of the life and death of
Christ.


TEN the merciful God, good 'and lover of
men, looked upon Adam and Eve, and
upon their blood, which they had held up
as an offering unto Him; without an order
from Him for so doing. But He wondered
at them; and accepted their offerings.
2 And God sent from His presence a bright
fire, that consumed their offering.
3 He smelt the sweet savour of their
offering, and showed them mercy.
4 Then came the Word of God to Adam,
and said unto him, "O Adam, as thou hast
shed thy blood, so will I shed My own
blood when I become flesh of thy seed;
and as thou didst die, O Adam, so also
will I die. And as thou didst build an altar,
so also will I make for thee an altar on the
earth; and as thou didst offer thy blood
upon it, so also will I offer My blood upon
an altar on the earth.
5 "And as thou didst sue for forgiveness
through that blood, so also will I make My
blood forgiveness of sins, and blot out
transgressions in it.
6 "And now, behold, I have accepted thy
offering, O Adam, but the days of the
covenant, wherein I have bound thee, are
not fulfilled. When they are fulfilled, then
will I bring thee back into the garden.
7 "Now, therefore, strengthen thy heart;
and when sorrow comes upon thee, make
Me an offering, and I will be favourable to
thee.".

God represented as merciful and loving.
The establishing of worship .
BUT God knew that Adam had in his
thoughts, that he should often kill himself
and make an offering to Him of his blood.
2 Therefore did He say unto him, "O Adam,
do not again kill thyself as thou didst, by
throwing thyself down from that
mountain."
3 But Adam said unto God, "It was in my
mind to put an end to myself at once, for
having transgressed Thy commandments,
and for my having come out of the
beautiful garden; and for the bright light of
which Thou hast deprived me; and for the
praises which poured forth from my mouth
without ceasing, and for the light that
covered me.
4 "Yet of Thy goodness, O God, do not
away with me altogether; but be favourable
to me every time I die, and bring me to
life.
5 "And thereby it will be made known that
Thou art a merciful God, who willest not
that one should perish; who lovest not that
one should fall; and who dost not
condemn any one cruelly, badly, and by
whole destruction."
6 Then Adam remained silent.
7 And the Word of God came unto him,
and blessed him, and comforted him, and
covenanted with him, that He would save
him at the end of the days determined
upon him.
8 This, then, was the first offering Adam
made unto God; and so it became his
custom to do.

I know the Bible has been the Christian standard for thousands of years and a solid history behind it.
*Who wrote this book you advertise?
I can't be open-minded to false doctrines.

God said! Adam said!
*How does this person know what God said or did outside of the bible? Was it a revelation, vision?
*Are you expecting Christians to take this as another valid Bible scripture?
