Preface

The Author's purpose in writing this Book is to heal the sore that is festering upon human society. The sin of the race is Carnality. The Bible and Christianity is the only remedy for the sins of the race which are filling our insane asylums, hospitals and jails. Christianity in its Purity will solve all the evils of the race; and it will empty the insane asylums, jails and hospitals of the race, if it is taught to the race in its purity, and understood and lived by the race.

The ignorance of the sex, as taught in the Bible and the violation of the laws of the sex as taught in the Bible, has filled the insane asylums, hospitals and prison cells in all ages, and is doing so today. The Author, as a Lawyer, saw this clearly. His experience as a lawyer enabled him to see the evils of the race and their cause.

He studied the Bible from the viewpoint of sex as Moses wrote it, and Jesus taught it, and the Apostles preached it, and he became convinced that Christianity in its purity is the only remedy for the ills of the race. Hence, he has written this Book and his other Books on the Bible.

Moses wrote of sex, the Prophets told of sex, Jesus taught sex and the Apostles preached about sex. The Doctrine of the Bible is that all sin is within the sex, and that Christianity is the overcoming of the sensual in act, thought and consciousness; but the Truth of the Bible as Moses wrote it and Jesus taught it and the Apostles preached it, has not been given to the race. The race is in ignorance and darkness, as to the Truth of the Bible, and hence, the insane asylums, hospitals and prison cells of the world are filled. Purity will empty the insane asylums, hospitals and jails of the world. The purpose of this Book and my other Books on the Bible is to produce a clean and pure race; and to empty the insane asylums, jails and hospitals of the world, and to produce a stronger race, physically and mentally, and a pure race spiritually. Christianity, in its Purity as the Christ taught it, will do this, and the purpose of this Book and my other Books on the Bible is to educate the race in the truth of the Bible, and to give Christianity to the race in its Purity.

THE DUALITY OF THE BIBLE

THE DUALITY OF THE BIBLE

or THE LAW OF THOUGHT.

Chapter I

On this plane and in this dual state of existence, all thought is dual of nature, spiritual and sensual, or non-sex and sex in consciousness — of the soul and of the sex. Soul thoughts and ideas are of God, who is the Father of spirits, and carnal thoughts and ideas are of the sensual (sex)— the serpent^the Satanic mind.

Soul thoughts and ideas are spiritual and holy, and are life, and flow from God, as the Father of all life. Carnal thoughts and ideas are located in the sensual, the carnal senses and sex organs, and flow from the sex senses and the generative organs, and the lust senses of the brain, and are darkness and death. Spiritual thoughts and ideas are immaterial. Carnal thoughts and ideas are of the material consciousness of the sex senses, and sex brain (generative organs) and lust senses. Spirituality has its origin in the Soul, and is of spiritual sense. Carnality has its origin in the sex brain and lust senses and in the Satanic mind. This is the dual law of thought and language on this plane of existence.

Spiritual thoughts and ideas are the Truth. Carnal thoughts and ideas are Error. Spiritual thoughts and ideas are Divine worship. Carnal thoughts and ideas are sex worship and idolatry. Spiritual thoughts and ideas are Life, and carnal thoughts and ideas are Death. Truth, Light and Life are of the Soul and flow from God, who in his essence, is the Father of Truth, Light and Life ; and error, idolatry, darkness and death originate in and flow from the sex brain (generative organs), and lust senses of the brain, which are Satanic in their nature.

This is the dual creation, and it is recorded in Genesis as the Law of Life and the Law of Death. The spiritual creation is the creation of "God;" and the material creation of male and female is the creation of the "Lord God.'' The soul creation is of "God,'' and the creation of the carnal senses, which is male and female, in nature and material, is of the "Lord God." The spiritual creation, which is of "God," is Life, the material creation, which is material and sex — is of the "Lord God" and is Death. "God" created the soul — (the man made in God's image), and the "Lord God" created the serpent — the sex and Satanic mind. This creation of "God" and the "Lord God" (the creation of soul and sex), run through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.

All that is holy, pure, spiritual, light and life, are non-sensual, non-material and non-sex in thought and consciousness. All that is unholy, impure, darkness, idolatry, sex worship and death is sensual, material and sex in thought and consciousness.

Man, made in God's "image," was non-sensual and non-sex in thought and conscionsness. He was mind, God is Mind and Spirit, and matter cannot be the "image" of and reflect Mind and Spirit. The 'Image" of God, is God's ideas and thoughts — they are spiritual Entities. They are conscious spiritual beings, and immaterial and non-sensual in nature. Man that God made in his "image" was immaterial and non-sensual in essence, thought and Consciousness; and he thought holy ideas and non-sensual thoughts until "the fall." The man made in "God's image" only had one state of consciousness and one law thought until the "Fall," and that state of consciousness and law of thought was holy and spiritual and of spiritual sense. Not an idea and thought of the carnal and sensual entered man's state of consciousness until after the "Fall." Man made in God's "image" only knew and was only conscious of Good — Spiritual sense. But after the "Fall" man knew "Good and Evil." He was then conscious of both the spiritual and carnal senses, and thought both spiritual and sensual (soul and sex) thoughts and ideas. The "Fall" was in thought, and the thought was sex lust, and the^act was the sex act, and death followed as the result.

The man made in God's "image" had failed to have "Dominion" over the "earth." the carnal and sex senses. The sex and sensual of the Adamic and material creation was the "Earth" that man made in God's "image" and was commanded to "refill and subdue." He partook of death when he partook of the sensual and sex in thought and act, and died.

The Adamic creation was, and is, material, sensual and sex in nature; it is the "Earth."

This dual creation is clearly set out in Genesis 1:26 to 28: "And God said, let us make man in our ^image,^ and after our likeness." Gen. 1:26. This is the spiritual creation, and is non-sensual and non-sex in nature and character. "And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and the fowls of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth," Gen. 1:26. This is the Adamic creation and is sensual and sex in nature and thought. "So God created man in his own image," Gen. 1:27. This is the spiritual creation — the man made in God's image, who is non-material and non-sensual — and non-sex in nature and thought. "Male and female created he them," Gen. 1:27. This is the Adamic creation, and is material, sensual and sex in its nature and thought.

In this account here given of creation, in the original, the thought is clear, that there are two records of creation. The first creation that is recorded is spiritual, non-sex and non-sensual. Then the thought of creation closes, and a new idea of creation is expressed, which is material, sensual and sex in its nature and thought. And the line of thought that divides these two creations in character and nature is materiality, sensuality and sex; and this is the dividing line between the material and spiritual worlds, in thought and consciousness. This law runs all through the Bible and all through nature.

All of the material creation is sex and sensual, and the spiritual creation is non-sensual and non-sex in nature and character, "And God blessed them and God said unto them, be fruitful, multiply and replenish the earth, and subdue it," Gen. 1:28.

The Hebrew word translated "earth" is Adamah, and means the Adam man, with his carnal, sensual and sex nature. The word here translated earth, is not the Hebrew word, erests, which means globe or planitary system. It is not the globe or planet that man is told to replenish and subdue, but it is the Adam man, with his sensual and sex nature, that the man made in God's "image" is told to refill, subdue and have dominion over. The "Dominion" here commanded is a spiritual dominion of soul over the sex lust of the "Earthly" and Adamic creation. It is Soul Dominion over material Sense. Spiritual Ideas and thoughts are to overcome carnal and lust ideas and thoughts of the ^ex of the material and Adamic creation. This command, to have dominion over the "Earth" (the Sex and Carnal Senses) was not given to the lower animal creation. It was not made in God's "image" — but is controlled by the law of sex of the Adamic creation without "Shame."

The lower animal creation has no consciousness of "Sin and Shame" of the sex act, because it is not made in the "image of God." "This is the book of the generations of Adam, in the day that God created man in the likeness of God, made he him." This is the spiritual creation. It is non-sex and non-sensual in its nature. "Male and female created he them and blessed them and called their name Adam in the day when they were created." Gen. 5:1-2. This is the Material creation. It is sensual and sex in its nature. It was made male and female and named Adam, that is, Adamic, or Adamah, which means (Red Earth) or the carnal man with flesh and blood. Jesus said flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven, and this Adam man, who is sex and sensual and is of flesh and blood, cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven — that is, cannot think spiritual and soul thoughts, but his every thought is lustful and carnal. He is not spirit or soul, and has no consciousness of spiritual sense and soul thoughts. He is not in the "image" of God, and never was in the "image" of God. He is matter and flesh.

The male and female are the Adamic creation taken from dust and unto dust they must return. The male and female were named Adam — that is, the Adamic and material creation is sex, male and female, and the soul and spiritual creation is non-sex. "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." Eccl. 12:7. Here is the dual creation declared. The spirit that shall return unto God who gave it, is the soul, or the man made in God^s "image," and is non-sensual and non-sex in nature; and the dust that shall return unto the earth as it was is the male and the female of the material creation with their lust, sensual and carnal nature.

"There is therefore, now, no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit, for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death." Romans 8:1-2. Here Paul declares the dual creation and a dual law of thought on this plane of existence. The Spiritual creation, he declares, is non-sensual in thought and is life, and the material creation is the lust of the flesh in thoughts and is death.

"There is a spirit in man and the inspiration of the Almighty, giveth them understanding." Job 32:8. Here Job declares that there is a spirit within the carnal body of man, and it is from God, and non-material and non-sensual. "All flesh shall perish together, and man shall return again unto dust.'^ Job 34:15. Here Job declares that the carnal creation — male and female of the Adamic creation, is made of the dust and shall return to dust. It is non-spiritual and carnal in its nature.

"In the sweat of thy face shall thou eat of bread till thou return unto the ground, for out of it wast thou taken, for dust thou art and unto dust shall return.'' Gen. 3:19. This Adam man which was taken from the dust, and is told that he shall return to dust is not the "spirit that is within man." This Adam man made of dust is the male and female of the material creation, and they are sensual and lustful in their thought and nature. They are the "Earth" that the "Spirit that is within man" was told to "refill and subdue," that is, the soul of the man made in God's "image" was told to overcome and refill the carnal senses of the Adam man with spiritual sense; "and the spirit within man and the soul of man which was made in God's 'image,'" was told to increase with spiritual sense and in a spiritual understanding and to have "Dominion" over and to "subdue" the carnal and sex nature of the male and the female of the Adamic or material creation. Had the man made in God's "image," who is spirit, fulfilled this command he would have gone out of and have overcome the material body of the male and female of the Adamic creation without material deaths — and without spiritual death, and this must yet be done for man to have life. It is the Resurrection — the triumph of soul over the carnal and sex in thought.

The "Fall" was the soul yielding in thought and consciousness to the lust of the male and female senses of the Adamic creation, and as a result, the material body of the male and female of the Adamic creation decays and returns unto "dust;" and the soul that was made in the "image of G^od" in thought and consciousness, departs from its holy state in thought and consciousness and becomes carnal in thought and consciousness.

The resurrection is the restoration of the soul to the "image of God," the Father, and in this state the soul will only think spiritual thoughts and be conscious of the spiritual sense. This resurrection is the transition from the material sense of the female and male of the Adamic creation to the consciousness of the spiritual sense, of the spiritual creation. The spiritual body made in the "image of God" is resurrected from the senses and consciousness of the material body. The material body of the male and female of the Adamic creation is the "Earth" from which the man (soul) made in God's "image" is resurrected, and not the earth of the globe or planetary system.

The soul is restored to spiritual sense and liberated from the carnal senses of the male and female of the Adamic creation. This is life Eternal, and this is the Christian resurrection. The grave (Death) is the material and sex sense of the male and female of the Adamic creation, and the material bodies of the Adamic creation return to dust as the result of sex lust. "They all go to the grave" (Death) as the result of the mind of the serpent. When the soul is restored to the "image" of the

Father, in thought, man is resurrected, (Man made in the image of God is resurrected) from the grave (Death), of the sex and lust senses of the material creation. Death is the effect of lust in thought; and life is the result of overcomnig lust in thought.

"And Moses spake unto the people saying, Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation." Nums. 27:15-16. Moses here recognizes God as the Father of Spirits and differentiates between the spiritual and material creations.

The flesh is male and female and sensual and sex in its nature. "For I will not contend forever, neither will I be always wroth, for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.'' Isaiah 57:16. Here we see that God is the Father of spirit and of soul. This is the spiritual creation It is the creation that was made in God's "image" and is non-material and non-sensual and non-sex.

The Adamic creation was, and is, material, sensual and sex in nature. This dual creation is clearly set out in Genesis and all through the Bible, it is from Genesis to Revelation; the law of Sex, and the law of spirit, and the law of the carnal senses and the law of soul sense is the Law of the Bible. The creations of "God" and of the "Lord God" are all through the Bible. The creation of "God" is spiritual and the creation of the "Lord God" is material and is of the Senses. The law of carnal thoughts and the law of soul thoughts, the law of the sex senses in thought and the law of the spiritual senses in thought, is the Law of thought of the Bible.

"What profit is there in my blood when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? Shall it declare thy truth?" Psalms 29:9. Here the Psalmist declares that the carnal sense of the Adamic creation cannot declare the truth of God, and that only the soul, which is of spiritual sense, can declare the truth of God — for Truth is of spirit and spiritual sense. The carnal in thought cannot become conscious of God, who is spirit. "For he knoweth our frame, he remembereth that we are Dust." 108 Psalms 15. This is the sex and material creation. "Thou hideth thy face, they are troubled; Thou takest away thy breath, they die and return to their dust. Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created." 104 Psalms 29-30. Here is the dual creation, all are of the dust and all turn to dust again. "Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?" Eccl. 3:20-21. Here is the dual creation again declared. The spirit of man "goeth upward" in thought and "consciousness" as it overcomes the sensual, and the dust of the material creation returns to dust as a result of sensual thoughts. The spirit of man "goeth upward" because it is created in the "image" of God. and the spirit of beast "goeth downward" to the earth because it is not made in the "image" of God, and is controlled in thought and consciousness by the sex lust of the Adamic and material creation. And God commanded man made in his "image" to be "fruitful," that is, bring forth a spiritual fruition, and increase spiritually and to multiply spiritually, until the carnality and the sensuality of the Adamic creation was "refilled and subdued," that is — until the creation of the mind of God had dominion over the Satanic mind, which is sensual and carnal and sex in its nature. God did not command the lower animal creation to have "dominion over the earth" — sex lust — the Adamic creation. The lower animal creation, spiritually was not made in "God's image," and, therefore, was not commanded to have "dominion over the earth" (sex lust) — the Adamic creation — the sex and carnal in nature and character. The lower animal creation is controlled by sex, and so is mankind since the "Fall."

Before man fell and as long as he retained the image of God, his thoughts and ideas were entirely spiritual and non-sensual and non-sex in character and nature. His thoughts and ideas were holy and perfect — non-material and non-sensual until man yielded to the carnal in thought. The law of his being and mind was holy and spiritual, and the law of all thought was spiritual and non-sensual in nature and character until man yielded to the mind of the serpent in thought and act. Man never became conscious of the material and sensual and sex in thought and consciousness, and subject to the law of the material, sensual and sex in thought and consciousness and death until after the "Fall." See Gen. 5:1-2.

It was the carnal and sex in thought and consciousness and act that produced spiritual death of the soul and sent the Adam man to dust. And it will take the overcoming of the sensual and sex in thought and consciousness to restore life to the soul and to resurrect the spiritual body from the carnal and sex senses and material body, in thought. Purity is the Resurrection.

This dual creation of "God" which is spiritual and of the "Lord God" which is material and carnal and sex in its nature is represented in Abel and

Cain. Abel is the creation of God. Abel is the spiritual creation. Cain is the Adamic creation, the sex of the material creation. He is of the "Earth'' and "Earthy.'' The original from which the word Abel is derived means soul or spirit, in contra-distinction to matter and the material creation. Abel is soul, and Cain is the lust of the sex of the male and female of the Adamic creation. The original for Cain means "a wanderer," wandering in thought and mind in the land of the carnal and sex senses.

Eve said when she conceived Cain "That she had gotten a man from the Lord." Gen. 4:11. This was the lie of the serpent. It was the lie of the carnal senses, and the mind of the serpent has claimed since the day of Cain that all mortal conception of the Adamic creation is spiritual, and this is the lie of the carnal senses.

There is not anything spiritual in carnal conception, it is of the Satanic mind. Every woman since the "Fall" has claimed through the carnal mind that her carnal conception was of the Lord and Holy, yet her soul has told her that this is the lie of the serpent. "And she again bare his brother Abel." Abel here is the soul, the mind of man made in God's image. Every Cain man, with his carnal senses murders Abel, the soul. "Abel was the keeper of sheep." Sheep here is the emblem of purity. Our Lord often times referred to those who had overcome the carnal senses of the Adamic creation and were pure in heart as "his sheep," and to those who were living for the carnality of the Adamic creation as "goats." The "goat" is a sensual animal, and our Lord used the "sheep" and the "goat" to type purity and sensuality. AH of his symbols in his parables type purity and sensuality.

But Cain was a tiller of the "ground." "Ground" here is the "Earth" that the man made in God's "image" was commanded to refill and subdue. The "Ground," as here used, is the carnal senses of the sex lust of the Adamic creation. Cain was a cultivator of the "Ground," that is, he cultivated the sex and carnal senses in thought and consciousness. The Cain within men are today cultivating the "Ground." as in the beginning. Lust is today controlling men as in the beginning. They live for the indulgence of the sex in thought and act, and murder Abel (the soul) and die as the result.

"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. Cain's offering to the Lord was the lust of the flesh — the thoughts and desires of the sex nature of the Adamic creation, and men today are offering the carnal to God in thought as of old. "And Abel he also brought of the offerings of his flock and the fat thereof, and the Lord had respect unto Abel, and to his offerings." The sheep and the flock here, which was AbeFs offering, are the emblems of purity and spirituality. AbeFs offering was the mind of purity and spiritual thought, and his purity was acceptable unto the Lord. Abel is the soul liberated from the sensual of the Adamic creation. God today will accept the spiritual offerings of the soul, if it will only subdue the lust of the flesh and live with him as the Father of Spirits. "But unto Cain and his offering He had no respect and Cain was very wroth and his countenance fell." Gen. 4:5.

Cain is the carnal mind with its lust and sex nature and God had no respect for the mind of the serpent and the carnal senses. Ever since the "Fall"

the mind of Abel and the mind of Cain has been within every man and woman, and warring against each other. These two minds have been at war in the human race since the serpent entered into the consciousness and thoughts of the race, and they are at war today within every human being.

Before the serpent deceived Eve, Abel— the soul — was free from the thought of Cain, and in the "image of God," and Cain talked vnth Abel, his brother, and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain "rose up against Abel, his brother, and slew him." Gen. 4:8. Cain is ever talking to the soul made in God's image. He is the sex mind within every man and woman, talking to the soul made in God's image. The word translated "serpent," that deceived Eve, means "Babbler" and "master of the tongue." Tongue means language or the expression of thought, that is, thought in consciousness. The sex lust senses of the Adamic creation is the "Babbler" and the "master of thought" of the carnal creation.

The carnal and sex senses are in every man and woman, sending their carnal and lust messages to the consciousness of the soul, made in the "image" of God, which are spiritual death to the soul. This "Babbler" and "master of the tongue" of the Adamic creation is the Cain within us that is murdering the soul made in "God's image."

At Puberty, the Cain within us begins to talk to the Soul. The Serpent — the carnal and sex senses — then begins to "Babble" away and to talk to the consciousness of the soul, creating confusion, vanity, strife, hatred, selfishness and greed in thought and the passion to indulge the carnal and sex act. This "Babbler" is ever at war with God and all that is Holy. It is the sex senses sending their ideas and images into the consciousness of the Soul as spiritual death.

"And the Lord said unto Cain, where is Abel, thy brother? and he said, I know not, am I my brother's keeper?" He said: "What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground, and now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand. When thou tillest the ground, it shall henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and vagabond shalt thou be in the earth." Gen. 4:10-11-12. The earth here is the same earth that man made in God's image was commanded to refill and subdue. It is the carnal senses. It is the thought of the lust mind, and "it is the fugitive and the vagabond of the carnal senses." Man is "ashamed" of it because it is sin and death. It is at war with all that is holy and with God's spiritual creation.

"And Cain said unto the Lord, my punishment is greater than I can bear, behold thou hath driven me out this day from the face of the earth and from thy face shall I be hid, and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth, and it shall come to pass that every one that findeth me shall slay me." Gen. 4:13-14. The mind of Cain is the mind of the carnal and sex senses, and this mind is against all that is holy and all that is holy is against it. It is the mind of confusion, selfishness, turmoil, strife and death. This mind of the carnal and sex senses — the Cain within us — produces confusion in the thought and understanding of the race. It creates jealousy, strife and conflict. It produces war between individuals and nations. This mind of the carnal senses arms nations with navies and armies and leads them on to the destruction of each other. It produces "private diseases" which fill the insane asylums and hospitals of the world. It produces the desire for liquor, drugs, carnal indulgence, lust and crime, which fills the jails and prison cells of the world. It is guilt and all are "ashamed" of it. It unites the male and female of the Adamic creation sexually and they are "ashamed" of the act. It produced "guilt" and "shame" in Adam and Eve, it produces "guilt" and "shame" in the soul today, as then. This "guilt" and "shame" in the soul is manifested on the face of the race. This mind of lust, is a "vagabond" in the world of the carnal senses and every man is against it, and all are "ashamed" of it.
