Lessons Learned (Page/file ...org/intro.htm Last revised August 10, 2004)
The reader who has accessed the background to and the
reasons why, at an early age, the author set off to find out for himself: "Why the
conflicting stories and lessons for learning, as presented in the Old & New
Testaments?" is better prepared for the fundamental issues pointed to in these pages.
Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder so is understanding and interpretation of
symbolic references or teachings through parables that were and remain as clear as they
ever were. The reader who is not familiar with Aesop's fables should do well to acquaint
himself/herself with them.
- The God of the old testament. Who was He and what did He / does He really
represent? (*Consider.1)
- Was / is the God of the Old Testament one and the same as the God that Jesus
Christ, spoke of as written of in the New Testament? (Consider)
- References to Satan and to the devil in the form of a serpent, a snake, and even
a wise serpent at that, on a number of instances, could the references really have
represented something else? (Consider)
- The perpetual references to 'Law from God', as 'given to the chosen ones', by
God. Is it possible that something else is represented and not as Mr & Mrs Average
were / are told from an early age, at least in the three religions that are meant to have
their roots in the Old Testament? (Consider)

1. Let us
forget for the purposes of this work and pages, the fact that the God of the Old
Testament, is vengeful, that He Curses his people and that he is a jealous God. Some
attributes for a Holy Father!
We are told: '... but God
said "You shall not eat from the tree which is in the midst of the garden... lest you
die" .... 'but the serpent said to the woman, "You will not die. For God knows
that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good
and evil" '....and that it (the tree's fruit) was to be desired to make one wise...
she took of its fruit and ate; and she gave some to her husband and he ate.....'. THEN the
eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves
(refer to Michelangelo's creation painting - *Link) and made
themselves aprons'.
READ the rest (Genesis 3) and consider just one simple element:
"What sort of a loving and caring father wants his children to be just ignorant
zombies?'. Evidently the eating of the fruit did cause the two 'sinners', to cover up
their nakedness' and unless the God of the Old testament was but a Peeping Tom, a voyeur,
there can be no other explanation as to why He did not want the two to know of the
difference. NOTE: In the above instance the serpent's impact should not be overlooked.
2 We are also told that: 'Then the Lord God said, "Behold,
the man has become like one of us, knowing good from evil....". NOTE: Who was God
addressing IN THE PLURAL, when speaking of Adam and Eve's trespass and promoting His
reasons, why they were being expelled? (Genesis 3.22)
3 We are told:
'Now the whole world had one language ..... and they said to one another, "Come let
us built ourselves a city, and a tower with its top up in the heavens, and let us make a
name for ourselves....". And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which
the sons of men [and there was young Andrew being
taught that the God of the Old Testament 'created everything'] had built. And the lord said, "Behold, they are one people, and
they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and
nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come let us [and there was young Andrew being
taught that the God of the Old Testament was the one and only! Who was he talking to?] go down down, and there confuse their language, that
they may not understand one another's speech". NOTE: Who was the God of the Old
Testament addressing in the plural, yet again, on that occasion? (the extract is from
Genesis 11.) [And there was young Andrew who had read
Aesop's Fables -classical Greek teachings / parables- where a grandfather with sticks
taught his grandchildren to work as a united family, in order to survive and counter any
evil attacks on their lot / well-being. BUT the god of the Old Testament (first known TRUE
EDITION around 300 BC) apparently had arranged with his accomplices to cause the sons of
men to speak in different languages.... WOW. For *languages/tongues* read different
*PERSONAL INTERESTS / GREED FOR POWER & MATERIAL GOODIES* and *for one another's
speech* read *one another's NEEDS* and you have the arrangements that have existed for
millennia AS ARRANGED between the followers of that evil God, the followers personified in
all judicial / legal settings, particularly those that are born of or rest on allegedly
civilised Societies that are founded and run 'simply on the Old Testament' teachings, you
read of here as recognised by young Andrew when barely 12].
THE ABOVE suffices for the introduction to the forces and the evil
that is behind the cornerstone and the foundations for the divide and conquer principle.
Some loving and caring father the God of the Old Testament was and turned out to be, as a
young man, the author concluded. The author could not believe what he was reading, as
lessons to be learned from a Holy Book; unraveled, through page after page where
treachery, deception, dishonesty, spite, malice, murder and much, much more were covered;
and most activities, if not at the behest of with the blessings of the God of the Old
Testament. No decent human (thinker) should ever submit himself/herself to dogmatic
indoctrination and or blind faith to / in the rubbish such as 'the allegedly holy
scriptures' the reader is pointed to in this page, with more vile activities to be pointed
to and revealed in due course.
LEST THE READER HAS ANY DOUBTS as regards the factuality of the
above quotes, the reader should access any relevant text in any officially approved Bible.
The following scenarios should also be considered as typical examples of *Lessons To Be
Learned From The Old Testament*:
4. We are told:
Old Testament - GENESIS 34-35
34. Now Dinah, the daughter
of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the land; and when
Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land saw her,
he seized her and lay with her and humbled her. And his soul was drawn to Dinah the
daughter of Jacob; he loved the maiden and spoke tenderly to her. So Shechem spoke to his
father Hamor, saying, "Get me this maiden for my wife". Now Jacob heard that he
had defiled his daughter Dinah; but his sons were with his cattle in the field, so Jacob
held his peace until they came. And Hamor, the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to
speak with him. 7 The sons of Jacob came in when they heard of it; and the men were
indignant and very angry, because he had wrought folly in Israel by lying with Jacob's
daughter, for such a thing ought not to be done.
8. But Hamor spoke with them, saying, "The soul of my son Shechem longs for your
daughter; I pray you, give her to him in marriage. 9 Make marriages with us; give your
daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves. 10 You shall dwell with us and the
land shall he open to you; dwell and trade in it, and get property in it. 11 Shechem also
said to her father and to her brothers, "Let me find favour in your eyes, and
whatever you say to me I will give. 12 Ask of me ever so much as marriage present and
gift, and I will give according as you say to me; only give me the maiden to be my
wife."
13. The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father Hamor
deceitfully, because he had defiled their sister Dinah. They said to them, "We cannot
do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that would be a
disgrace to us. Only on this condition will we consent to you; that you
will become as we are and every male of you be circumcised. 16. Then we will give our
daughters to you and we will take your daughters to ourselves, and we will dwell with you
and become one people. 17 But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we
will take our daughter, and we will be gone".
18. Their words pleased Hamor and Hamor's son Shechem. 19. And the young man did not delay
to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter. Now he was the most honoured
of all his family. 20. So Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city and
spoke to the men of their city, saying, 21 "These men are friendly with us; let them
dwell in the land and trade in it, for behold, the land is large enough for them; let us
take their daughters in marriage, and let us give them our daughters. 22. Only on this
condition will the men agree to dwell with us, to become one people: that every male among
us be circumcised as they are circumcised. 23. Will not their cattle, their property and
all their beasts be ours? Only let us agree with them, and they will dwell with us."
24. And all who went out of the gate of his city hearkened to Hamor and his son Shechem;
and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
25. On the third day, when they were sore two of the sons of Jacob,
Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers took their swords and came upon the city unawares, and
killed all the males. 26. They slew Hamor and his son Shechem with the sword, and took
Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went away. 27. And the Sons of Jacob came upon the
slain, and plundered the city, because their sister had been defiled; 28, they took their
flocks and their herds, their asses, and whatever was in the city and in the fields; 29.
all their wealth, all their little ones and their wives, all that was in the houses, they
captured and made their prey. 30. Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have
brought trouble on me by making me odious to the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites
and the Perizzites; my numbers are less, and if they gather themselves against me and
attack me, I shall be destroyed, both I and my household. 31. But they said, Should he
treat our sister as a harlot?"
35. God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there; and make there an
altar to the God who appeared to you when you fled your brother Esau." 2. So Jacob
said to his household and to all who were with him, "Put away the foreign gods that
are among you, and purify yourselves, and change your garments; 3. then let us arise and
go up to Bethel, that I may make there an altar to the God who answered me in the day of
my distress and has been with me wherever I have gone." 4. So they gave to Jacob all
the foreign gods that they had, and the rings that were in their ears; and Jacob hid them
under the oak which was near Shechem.
5. And as they journeyed, a terror from God fell upon the cities that
were round about them, so that they did not pursue the sons of Jacob. 6. And Jacob came to
Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with
him, 7 and there he built an altar, and called the place El-bethel, because there God had
revealed himself to him when he fled from his brother. 8 And Deb'orah, Rebekah's nurse,
died, and she was buried under an oak below Bethel; so the name of it was called
Al'lon-bacuth."
We are told:
Exodus 7.8
'And the Lord said to Moses
and Aaron, 9 "When Pharaoh says to you, 'Prove yourselves by working a miracle,' then
you shall say to Aaron, 'Take your rod and cast it down before Pharaoh,
that it may become a serpent'." 10 So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did as the
Lord commanded; Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a
serpent. 11 Then Pharaoh summoned the wise men and the sorcerers; and they also, the
magicians of Egypt, did the same by their secret arts. 12 For every man cast down his rod,
and they became serpents. But Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods. 13 Sill Pharaoh's heart
was hardened, and he would not listen to them; as the Lord had said...
9.27. Then Pharaoh sent, and called Moses and Aaron,
and said to them, "I have sinned this time; the Lord is in the right and I and my
people are in the wrong. 28 Entreat the Lord; for there has been enough of this thunder
and hail; I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer." 29 Moses said to him,
"As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will stretch out my hands to the Lord; the
thunder will cease and there will be no more hail, that you may know that the earth is the
lord's. 30 But as for you and your servants, I know that you do not fear the Lord
God".
11. The Lord said to Moses, "Yet on
more plague I will bring upon Pharaoh and Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence; when
he lets you go, he will drive you away completely. 2 Speak now in the hearing of the
people, that they ask, every man of his neighbour and every woman of her neighbour,
jewelry of silver and gold." 3 And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of
the Egyptians. Moreover, the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight
of the Pharaoh's servants and in the sight of the people.
14.5. When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, the mind of the Pharaoh
and his servants was changed towards the people, and he said, "What is this we have
done, that we let Israel go from serving us?" 6 So he made ready his chariot and took
his army with him, 7 and took six hundred picked chariots and all the other chariots of
Egypt with officers over all of them. And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of
Egypt and he pursued the people of Israel as they went forth defiantly.......
In Genesis 34-35 we are told that a
young maiden went to the city in search of the women of the city.
That she was 'raped' by the son of the city's lord and that 'a raped maiden 'pleased her
rapist' (*Link), that she was tenderly loved and that..... wait a
minute.... 'the temptress was so desired that the prince who tenderly loved her, wanted
to marry her..... that he and his father were prepared to...... with the rest of
their city's men-folk they decided that they should improve God's creation (in His own
image, remember) (*Link) in order that the prince in love should marry
the temptress (*Link). What followed the fraudulent invitation (*Link) to the prince, to his father and to the city's menfolk was but
sheer carnage (*Link), plundering and looting.... and what does the
almighty God of the Old Testament do? Simple, He creates the right conditions (*Link) in order that the criminals can scram and get away. Victims of
fraudulent misrepresentations, deception, false instruments and all that the criminals who
are in control of the legal systems indulge in, in allegedly civilised pseudo-democracies,
should not overlook the lessons to be learned from the above and some of the other
examples the author is / will be pointing to the reader/visitor through these pages.
In Exodus we are told that the God of the Old Testament
(not sorcery or magic) turned the rod of Aaron into a serpent (*Link)....
wait a minute..... a serpent? We are told that the said serpent swallowed all the
other serpents which the Pharaoh's wise men, sorcerers and magicians 'created', just like
Aaron did (*Link). We are told that God's serpent-creation was far
superior to the other serpents..... We are told that the Pharaoh and his people
admitted being wrong and that he was going to let the people of Israel go (*Link) out of the land of Egypt, but the God of the Old Testament had
other plans for all, as master of ceremonies. He, the God of the Old Testament, wanted to
cause the king of Egypt, the Pharaoh, to have reasons not to just let the people of Israel
go, but substantive grounds to chase after them.... And what did the master of ceremonies,
as director of all, come up with? Evidently the God of the Old Testament told Moses to
arrange with the people of Israel to take off the people of Egypt jewelry of silver and
gold and that He, the Lord God, caused the people of Egypt to treat favorably the requests
from the people of Israel (*Link)....... We are then told that the
people of Israel were allowed to go.... wait a minute... do we not read 'fled ?' (*Link). It is obvious that the authors knew not what part of their story
to stick to; on the other hand they were trying to confuse the readers who, like the
authors, had not eaten from the tree in the midst of the garden..... After all Adam
and Eve had been sent packing and their offspring, therefore, were not to have access to
the one and only 'tree of knowledge', 'wisdom' and 'understanding between right and wrong'
(*Link).
The author from a young age noted the numerous references
to serpents, repeated in the New Testament, in the form of Satan - evil. The author hereby
repeats the request for assistance to secure copy of the video production referred to in
these pages (*Link) or information as to the whereabouts of the
actual painting by an old master. The painting that was used as a backdrop in the
television show / production is of paramount importance in and for the revelations and
arguments that are being presented and to be developed in these pages.
