I know right, I can read the New International version, I don't even recognize it. Now the original 1611 KJV, I can understand, but it is strange. I usually read KJV or NKJV, and I get the message it is sending. The Gospel of Peace is what it is. https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/1611_Genesis-Chapter-1/
The book was not written for implied meanings (though it has always been about control) though some of the words are of things no longer in existence or applied in that manner. The Bible definitely isn't about peace. No religion is about peace (the Hindu stuff are often teachings but other societies label them religions).
I can see you and I are not getting the same message. Me and you must have different attitudes about it. My attitude is peace and yours seems to be somewhat angry, bitter maybe. Goodluck with that, eh.
Considering the versions that say stone your neighbor to death over X rule infraction... yeah this is not speaking about peace. It even dictates what type of material of clothing you should wear so as not to be confused with the enemy (everyone else). Again this thing is about control to push an agenda. Revisions or not, that book is not about peace.
If you REALLY want to dig into it, if Adam and Eve were the first humans and no others were created, then all following humans not directly from those two are products of incest.
and a wee bit hateful, the only reason I know that, is cause I know myself. So I ask you....... (What is truth?)
John 16:33 (KJV)
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Maybe a more probable scenario would be Adam having a faulty gene after fall. Contaminated by the introduction of sin.

Lilith maybe.

I have read Genesis chapter 3 a lot. As for the extra esoteric, all that is to much for my brain.

As long as you understand The Bible has gone through many revisions. They have issues keeping their bullshit strait.

Yup, you sound pretty upset there, and bitter. You might want to calm down a bit, for you bust a vessel. k?

So speaking the truth about that book makes me bitter... cute.

Be careful when building a fantasy you live in. Those worlds collapse the hardest.

Do you feign concern for me? I suspect that you would like to see me hurt. That is not peaceful.
