Common theme (4)-the creation of 2nd humans
|
|
| The earliest texts of humanity are clear and unequivocal regarding the artificial creation of the humans by multi-gods via the use of advanced knowledge. Even the | ||
| ....God had not caused it to rain upon the earth and there was no man to till the ground; but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground, then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground the Lord God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, the tree of life was also in the midst of the garden and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden and there it divided and became four rivers. The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which flows around the whole land of Hav’ilah, where there is gold; and the gold of the land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there. The name of the second river is Gihon, it is the one which flows around the whole land of Cush. And the name of the third river is Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. Genesis (600 BCE) |

| "And he said to the authorities which attend him, 'Come, let us create a
man according to the image of God and according to our likeness, that
his image may become a light for us.' And they created by means of their
respective powers in correspondence with the characteristics which were
given. And each authority supplied a characteristic in the form of the
image which he had seen in its natural (form). He created a being
according to the likeness of the first, perfect Man. And they said, 'Let
us call him Adam, that his name may become a power of light for us.'
...."And when the mother wanted to retrieve the power which she had given to the chief archon, she petitioned the Mother-Father of the All, who is most merciful. He sent, by means of the holy decree, the five lights down upon the place of the angels of the chief archon. They advised him that they should bring forth the power of the mother. And they said to Yaltabaoth, 'Blow into his face something of your spirit and his body will arise.' And he blew into his face the spirit which is the power of his mother; he did not know (this), for he exists in ignorance. And the power of the mother went out of Yaltabaoth into the natural body, which they had fashioned after the image of the one who exists from the beginning. The body moved and gained strength, and it was luminous. ..” The Apocryphon of John (Nag Hammadi Scroll- dating Egypt 80-200AD) |

| 21
And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept:
and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
