Preface

To the mind of the Author, there is no crime equal unto that of keeping the people in ignorance as to the Truth of the Bible. This has been persistently and consistently done through the ages. The result is that we have a race diseased and insane. Our insane asylums, hospitals, are everywhere filled with the diseased and insane as the result of sin, which is lust. Crime prevails in the race as the result of the race having been kept in ignorance as to the Truth of the Bible. Crime is the result of a diseased mind and this disease has its origin in the sex. The origin of sin, which is termed evil, was sex lust. The Bible is a book of sex, but this has been kept from the people. The people have never been taught the true meaning of the Bible. The purpose of this book is to bring out the true meaning of the Bible, so that every man and woman may understand it and know how to live so as to preserve mind and body pure. Our Lord never concealed and covered up sin. He uncovered sin as lust. He taught that lust was the father of disease, insanity and crime. He healed the mind from lust and thereby healed their material bodies. When He departed from this earth, He instructed His desciples to do as he had done.

For three hundred years the Christian church executed His command, but finally the Truth of Christianity was lost in a night of sensuality; as the result we have a criminal diseased and insane race. The purpose of this book is to help resurrect the Truth of Christianity by interpreting the Bible so that the people may understand the true meaning of the Bible and that lust was the original sin, and the father of disease, crime and insanity, and thereby help to empty our insane asylums, hospitals and prison cells.

May the blessings of the Master go with it on its mission to a race diseased as the result of sin, wandering in the dark and ignorance, and all like sheep without a shepherd. May they find the true shepherd of their souls, which is the Christ mind, and this mind will heal them of lust and make them whole indeed.

What Every Man and Woman Should Know About the Bible

By Sidney C. Tapp, Ph. B.

Chapter I

"The serpent" is in all nature. The mind of the serpent permeates all thought on this plane of existence. The Pur-seals of the Pacific Ocean will make their way from the Tropic zone to the Artie zone during the mating season. When they reach the Artie zone of Alaska the males will go upon the shores of the ocean to land, and there fight and kill each other over the females. It is the mating season and the serpent is in consciousness. The law of sex prevails in consciousness and strife, conflict and death follow as a result.

In the spring season, the male horses in the wilds will fight and destroy each other over the females. The serpent's mind is in consciousness, and destruction and death follow as a result. During the mating season, the male lion will roar in the forest and the weaker male lions give way to the stronger. They know instinctively that he is better sexed and stronger than they, and give way to him. This gives him preference with the females during the mating season. If the weaker males did not give way to the stronger males during the mating season, the stronger would fight and destroy the weaker. During the reproductive season, the male of the bovine species will fight and the weaker have to give way to the stronger. This is the law of the serpent and of nature. The males of all species of animal life are at war during the mating season. The most poisonous strife of animal life, however, is with the serpent. During the mating season, the males of the snake species are at war. They bite, sting and destroy each other. All nature is saturated with their poison during the mating season. It is the mind of carnality that manifests itself in the consciousness of all animal creation. The snake, or serpent, types this thought of poison and death.

This mind of the serpent, or sex consciousness, is controlled by the law of the solar system. It is influenced by the seasons. The law of astrology is the law of thought of the sex mind. Woman is affected by this law. Her . monthly sickness is every twenty-eight days. Her sex mind and its moods are controlled by the law of the solar system. There are twelve months in the calendar year. This is not a mere co-incident. These months were named and fixed by the pagan mind of the ancient civilizations. They are not the months of the Jewish calendar. They are the calendar of sex religion and sex thought or sex worship. There are twelve faculties in the sex mind. The Twelve Tribes of Israel and the twelve Apostles, type these twelve faculties of the sex mind. These twelve faculties of the sex mind are influenced and controlled by the twelve seasons of the year. When Christianity came into the Roman Empire it lost the Jewish calendar as a means of regulating time, and adopted the pagan calendar of the Roman Empire, whose religion was sex worship, that is, idolatry. Hence our twelve months of the year are of pagan origin.

The sex brain is the source of all idolatry. In the generative organs and the lust senses of the brain are located the "other gods." The senses of the generative organs and the lust senses of the brain is the home of the pagan gods. These pagan gods are carnal ideas and lust desires which are conceived through the senses of the generative organs and the lust senses of the brain.

This thought is sensual and is controlled by the solar system and the law of astrology. And through this lie the reproduction of the animal creation takes place and is of the serpent mind. This mind is at war with all that is spiritual and holy.

In the mind of the sex brain mythology is conceived. The minds of mythology of the ages have had their origin within the mind of the sex senses and the generative organs and the lust senses of the brain.

The Sphinx has its origin in the sex brain. The ideas of the sex brain are carnal images. The Spinx is a woman and lion united as one. The lion types sensuality. The idea of the Spinx is that of a woman co-habiting with the lower animal creation. It is the human united in sex thought and action with the beast of the lower creation. It had its origin with the sensual races. The home of the

Spinx was in Africa. Africa is the home of the races of the senses. It is the native land of the negro and of the Egyptians. These races have been sensual races.

The word "serpent" as used in Genesis, that deceived Eve, means "Babbler," or the Master of the Tongue. That is the lust "thought in consciousness and the expression of this thought. Serpent or "Babbler" is the sensation of the nerves of the generative organs and the lust senses of the brain talking to the consciousness and communicating continually with the consciousness. It is the imagination and the lust of the flesh flowing into the consciousness. This "Babbler" is in all nature, and controls the thought and action of all animal life. During the mating season all animal life is at war. The sex lust thought is strife and death.

This imagination of the sex brain flowing into the consciousness is the "evil" and the "wickedness" and the "unrighteousness" of the Bible. They are the results of this "Babbler" and the evil imaginations of the sex brain are recorded wherever man has gone through the ages. The "other gods" of the Bible are these evil imaginations of the sex brain. Man through the evil imaginations of the sex brain has builded his temples of sex worship and erected his statues of idle gods. He has constructed the statues of animals and man united in one, as the symbol of the thought of man cohabiting with the lower animal creation. Man united to beast, half man and half beast, are found everywhere where man has lived. These statues of half man and half beast symbolize the thought within the consciousness of the race that constructed them. This thought is the thought of sensuality of the lower beast creation and man co-habiting with the lower beast creation.

God jnade man in His image and told him to have "dominion" over the lower animal creation. This dominion was a sex dominion, that is, man was not to co-habit with the lower animal creation. Man was created of a higher spiritual creation than the lower animal creation and was made in God's image and God commanded him to have dominion over the lower animal creation, that is to retain the spiritual image of God and not to co-habit with the lower animal creation. But after the "fall" man became sensual and degraded. In this state of thought man has co-habited with the lower creation, in violation of the law of God, and hence we find, wherever man has lived, barbaric or civilized, he has constructed his symbols of man united to beast and beast united to man, indicating the sensual thought within the consciousness of man, and these is where the gods of mythology had their origin.

These gods of mythology originated within the sex brain and sensual thoughts and carnal imaginations of fallen man. Secular classic literature is permeated with the same idea. Secular classic literature is only the thought of the sex imagination and of man's sex brain. So is all carnal and classic music, poetry and art. The pagan religions had their origin in the same conception. Paganism is the love of the senses and carnality. It had its origin in the carnal imaginations of the sex brain. The pagan religions and mythology had the same source of origin, that is, the evil imaginations of the sex brain.

This serpent is sex lust. This is the "earth" that man made in God's image and likeness was told to subdue and have dominion over. When man failed to subdue and have dominion over the earth, man was turned into the "earth" and this earth that he was turned out into was sex lust, desires and the burning lust of the flesh. This burning lust of the flesh, and sex lust desires, *was the "flaming sword" that was placed at the gate of Eden to keep man from "the tree of life." This is all a figure of speech, and symbolic of the law of thought. The man made in God's image was Soul and Spirit and was spiritual in thought until he fell and yielded to the lust of the flesh, which was the earth that he failed to subdue and have dominion over. Then man became carnal in nature and thought.

This lust nature is the fire that burneth forever, and is death unless it is overcome. This lust nature burning within the consciousness of man has caused man to conceive of "gods" many other than the true God. This sex brain, which is the lust of the flesh, has created many gods in its own carnal imagination, other than the true God.

Eeligions many, this sex brain imagination has created. These religions are of the senses and carnal, they are not the Christian religion. Christianity is non-carnal and non-material in its nature. It is spiritual and life giving. The religions created by the imaginations of the sex brain, are lust and death.

The Chaldeans were fire worshipers. Fire is a symbol of lust. It was the lust of the fires burning within their own consciousness that produced their religion and their worship. Their religion was the result of the imaginations of their sex brain. They burned their children in flames of fire to appease and satisfy the gods that their own carnal imaginations created and satisfy their sex brain. Their guilt was, within their carnal imaginations and their sex brain.

It was within their own consciousness. Their god was not the God of Soul, of Spirit and of Life. Their gods were the creations of their own sex brains. Abram was told by the true God of Spirit and Life to leave this land of sex worship, and his name was changed to Abraham for righteousness sake. Righteousness is of Soul and not carnality of thought.

Sex worship is cruel in its nature. The gods created by the imaginations of the sex brain are cruel in thought, to the imagination of the carnal mind. That is the reason why people who deify sex, and call themselves christians, are so cruel. There is no class of people who are as cruel as the church people, who are pagan in thought and call tnemselves christians. They have deified the lust of the flesh and this is satanic in its nature.

This was the condition of the thought of the age when our blessed Lord came. He found all the world bowed down to carnality in thought and practice. This cruel age crucified him. Abraham had this thought when he offered up Isaac; the guilt was in Abraham's own consciousness. The true God of Soul purified Abraham's soul of the lust of the flesh and told him not to sacrifice Isaac.

The land out of which Abraham went was a land of pagan gods; its people had their many gods that they had created out of the imagiantions of their sex brain. Moloch, Baal, Dragon, and gods many, were their gods. All these gods were the creations of the imaginations of their sex brain. They had their origin within the carnal and sex imaginations of the people. Moloch was the god of the Amorites. This god was built of hard materials; within it was the statues of women. They had to have sex with which to create the gods. They would bring their children to this god and offer them up in flames of fire, to appease the wrath of this god of lust. Lev. 18:21. That which made them burn their children in the flames of this god was the guilt within their own consciousness. It was the serpent in thought. It was the lust of their own state of thought.

God said to the children of Israel, as they passed from Egypt into Canaan that they should not "let any of their seed pass through the fire of Moloch." That is they were going out of the land of carnality — Egypt, and that they should live above sex worship. He also said to the children of Israel "Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind. Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself; neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto. Defile not ye yourselves with any of these things ; for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you; And the land is defiled; therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the iand itself vomiteth out his inhabitants. Ye therefore shall keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations. Lev. 18:22-26.

The carnality within the consciousness of these pagan people was the mind of the serpent. Men were cohabiting with men, and women with women; and men and women were having sex relations with the lower animals. This state of thought caused them to offer their children in flames to Moloch — the god of their carnal imaginations. They thought they could appease and satisfy the guilt in their own consciousness, which was created through the imaginations of their sex brain, by burning their children in the flames of this god.

The true God of Soul and Spirit told the children of Israel that they should not burn their children in the fire of Moloch; that their men should not indulge sexually with men. and women with women; neither should they indulge sexually with the lower animal creation. That they should abstain from all these things and by so doing their consciousness would be free. He told them that they should keep "his" statutes. His statutes are spiritual and non-carnal in thought. God's law is not of the imagination of the sex brain. It is of Soul. It is spiritual. It is holy. It is non-carnal in thought.

We have Moloch with us today as of old and he has been with the race in all ages since the serpent entered into consciousness.

A brother lawyer who resides in Kansas City where I now live and write, tells me that he stood in his law office and looked into the window of a rooming house or hotel and saw, with his own eyes, a woman kiss a dog and cohabit with it and then kiss the dog after the sex act was over. It was in the summer season and the window of his office was open and the window of the hotel was up and he saw this horrible crime of degradation with his own eyes. Another brother lawyer tells me that he knew of a rich widow who kept her fine dogs and took them with her daily on her evening drives. That her coachman and servants would visit the immoral houses of the city and the dogs would go with them. As soon as these dogs would get into these immoral houses they would at once make for the female inmates and attempt to get their heads under their dresses; these dogs finally became so offensive that the servants were ordered to keep the dogs out of these houses. They had been educated by this society woman to unnatural sex relations with her.

Moloch and Baal and Dragon are with us today. These gods are within the carnal imaginations of the sex brain. It is the serpent in the thought of the carnal creation; and this serpent is degrading the flesh and cursing the souls of the race. This worship of the serpents mind; that is the love of the senses, is founded in the belief of the lie of the serpent that there is pleasure and life in the orgasm of the sex act. This thought is "babbling" away to the consciousness of the soul. It is the master of the thought of the consciousness of mortal existence. All the race as it comes into puberty is "obsessed" and "possessed." It is everywhere in consciousness. All material action is based on the consciousness of this thought. The press lives off of it. It reports the scandals of men killing women and w mien killing men, of wife desertions and husband desertions and of sex perversions; all of which is of the serpent mind.

This thought is in the consciousness of the race, hence they live to read what is in their consciousness and the press gives them what they want. Take the consciousness of the serpent out of the race and the daily press would have to go out of business. Journalism would then become a matter of spirituality; it would be of the soul and not of the senses. The serpent in the consciousness of the race feeds the commerce of the world. \

/women at puberty begin to dress and display their vanity^ Tins is the serpent's mind. It is the evil imagination of the sex s brain. They dress and adorn themselves in keeping with the thought in their consciousness. Their purpose is to control men. Men strive and fight for the money with which to dress and adorn the women. The home society and the state is founded on the serpent's mind and the carnal imaginations of the sex brain. Hence the kingdoms of this earth shall become the kingdom of our Lord and his Christ. The 1 earth is carnality, the lust of the sex brain; and this shall go out of consciousness when the Christ mind comes into consciousness. As we overcome lust in thought and the imagination of the sex brain we come into the Kingdom of God. That is into the Soul Consciousness. Remove lust from the consciousness of the race and the commerce of the world would cease — industrial strife would end. They are all founded on the "beast." Remove the thought of the orgasm of the sex act from the consciousness of the race and peace and love would prevail.

Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth: give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid." John 14 :27.

The word "world" here in the original means, in thought, the carnal creation. That is the mind of the sex brain in mind and consciousness. There is no peace in the mind and thought of the sex brain. It is war and death. It destroys individual races and nations. It is the father of syphilis, gonorrhoea and leprosous insanity, and of crime, disease and sorrows of the race. The gratification of this mind of the sex brain produced sorrow and death.

The man or woman who gratifies the lust imaginations of the sex brain, by self abuse, destroys both mind and body as well as the soul. The man or woman who lives for the gratification of the

sex desire with the opposite sex soon destroys mind and body. The gratification of the serpent's mind is death. The sex act destroys the nerve cells of the brain. The brain is where the nerve force is collected that runs the machinery of the human body. There is no life in matter. All innate life is within mind. The mind sends the mental impulses through the brain, which is the nerve force that runs the human body. The sex act destroys the nerve cells and tnus produces death. St. James says, "The body without the spirit is dead." Life is in mind, not in matter. Destroy the nerve cells of the brain through which mind manifests itself and you produce physical death. That is what lust and the serpent mind does. The orgasm of < the sex act is death in its nature. If the act is repeated often enough it will send the body to the grave.

We see men and women around us daily dragging their feet. The condition is within the brain. The serpent, either directly or indirectly has done his work. Either their lust, or the lust of their ancestors has produced this condition. It is the result of sin. We see men and women around us daily with their arms hanging loose at their sides; the trouble is within the brain, through their lust or the lust of their ancestors. We see the dumb, the blind and the deaf around us daily. Their conditions can be traced either directly or indirectly to syphilis, gonorrhoea or leprosy. These diseases are the result of the serpent mind. Sex lust is their father. The unfortunate subjects may be paying for the sins of their ancestors but their condition is due, nevertheless, to the serpent mind. These are the sorrows of the serpent mind.

The "peajcell that Jesus left is the. overcoming of the serpent mind and carnality, and this state of mind is harmony, love and health. When the race overcomes carnality and the serpent mind and comes into the "peace" that Jesus left, the race will be a healthy race. A carnal race is a diseased race; the serpent produces disease and death. A pure race is a healthy race. Without lust the race would be free from disease. The "peace" that Jesus left was the peace of soul, spiritual in thought and purity in thought, and this "peace" saves the race from disease and purifies the soul unto life eternal.

Moloch, Baal, Mammon and the other pagan gods are the gods of the imagination of the sex brain. They are the creation of the sex brain, and the worship of these gods, which is lust, produces disease and death. The Amorites would go into carnality and lust until their state of consciousness was so diseased with lust that they would burn their children to the god of Moloch and then take the vow of celibacy; but they would soon return to their god of lust which was burning within the consciousness of their souls. Moloch means king. Jer. 18:11. Baal means king.

JThfijeiximoIo-gxof the word "Moloch" means fire, that is the fire of lust. This was the worship of the ancestors of Abraham. It is the "Worship of the race that does not overcome the sex lust of the flesh; lust is their king and the mind of the serpent their master. This mind of the serpent and the imaginations of the sex brain has created the pagan gods of all ages. It has created the pagan religions of the race; their temples of sex worship have been erected wherever man has gone. Babylon, Ninevah and Egypt were filled with them in their day; the Roman Empire was filled with these temples of sex worship when our blessed Lord came. The temple of Diana at Ephesus was dedicated to the female god. The temple of Osius was dedicated to the male god. Sex was in their worship then and is in the worship today. Sex has been in the worship of the race ever since the serpent deceived Eve; wherever sex worship has prevailed, disease and insanity have prevailed. The overcoming of the mind of the serpent and the imagivailed. The overcoming of the mind of the serpent and the imaginations of the sex brain in thought and consciousness is Christianity. It purifies the soul from carnality, it purifies the race from the defilement and pollution of the serpent and produces spiritual life and physical health.

"If any man's seed of copulation go out from him then sha he wash all his flesh in water and be unclean until even. And every garment and every skin whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water and be unclean until even. The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water and be unclean until even." Lev. 15:16-17-18.

Impurity is the spilling of the seed — tKat is the sex seed of generation; this impurity first exists in mind and then in act. The mind must first become impure before the body is polluted. Lust in _thought produces the spilling of the seed and this pollutes the body

This is sin, it is the sin that Moses wrote about, the prophets talked about and Jesus preached about; and the apostles taught and wrote about it.

[^■s. The serpent, that is sex lust, produced the original spilling of the seed and this was the original sin. Adam and Eve were told that if they touched it they should die. That is, "If they ate of the fruit of the tree." The eating of the fruit of the tree was sexual intercourse and the emitting of the seed. They were commanded , "to subdue and have dominion over the earth." That is to overcome the carnal man and not to indulge carnally and emit the seed. The yielding to lust and emitting the seed was the breaking of the law, and death followed as the result. "Whosoever committeth sin transgresses also the law, for sin is the transgression of the law." 1 John 3:4.

"He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him and he cannot sin because he is born of God." 1 John 3:8, 9.

Here sin is defined as the transgression of the law, and this transgression of the law is defined as the emission or the spilling of the sex seed. Death followed as the result of sin, and as here defined is the emission, or spilling, of the sex seed. This produces insanity and diseases of all forms; crimes of all nature, physical death and finally curses the soul.

But he that is born of God, that is re-created in thought, and has overcome the lust of the flesh and the mind of the serpent "cannot sin" because his seed remaineth in him. 1 He that hath become so pure \ in thought and consciousness as to retain the sex seed has been born again and is the child of God. He has the w ord-of. God within his consciousness and soul. That is the mind of God in his thought and has- overcome the mind of the serpent and the lust of the flesh.

Eve said, when Cain had murdered Abel, that God "hath appointed me another seed," when she brought forth Seth in the place of Abel. Seth, here, was the seed of the copulative act which represents the image and likeness of the natural parents, and this act, which is the sex act, murders Abel, which is the soul. This is the transgression of the law. It is sin, and the race is "conceived in sin and shapen in iniquity." This Cain mind, which is the serpent and the sex lust of the flesh, is degrading in thought; it is death in thought. \~So degrading is this thought that man has fallen to that degraded state where ■ he desired dead bodies to^ gratify his lust. That was a common practice among the pagan Egyptian priests. Their religion was sex worship. That is the love of the sex senses and sex act. They were so degraded in this state of sex worship that they cohabited with the bodies of dead females. jy[any scientists think this was the origin of syphilis.
