Prologue The First Book of Adam and Eve details the life and times of Adam and Eve after they were expelled from the garden to the time that Cain kills his brother Abel. It tells of Adam and Eve's first dwelling—the Cave of Treasures; their trials and temptations; Satan's many apparitions to them; the birth of Cain, Abel, and their twin sisters; and Cain's love for his beautiful twin sister, Luluwa, whom Adam and Eve wished to join to Abel. This book is considered by many scholars to be part of the "Pseudepigrapha" (soo-duh-pig-ruh-fuh). The "Pseudepigrapha" is a collection of historical biblical works that are considered to be fiction. Because of that stigma, this book was not included in the compilation of the Holy Bible. This book is a written history of what happened in the days of Adam and Eve after they were cast out of the garden. Although considered to be pseudepigraphic by some, it carries significant meaning and insight into events of that time. It is doubtful that these writings could have survived all the many centuries if there were no substance to them. This book is simply a version of an account handed down by word of mouth, from generation to generation, linking the time that the first human life was created to the time when somebody finally decided to write it down. This particular version is the work of unknown Egyptians. The lack of historical allusion makes it difficult to precisely date the writing, however, using other pseudepigraphical works as a reference, it was probably written a few hundred years before the birth of Christ. Parts of this version are found in the Jewish Talmud, and the Islamic Koran, showing what a vital role it played in the original literature of human wisdom. The Egyptian author wrote in Arabic, but later translations were found written in Ethiopic. The present English translation was translated in the late 1800's by Dr. S. C. Malan and Dr. E. Trumpp. They translated into King James English from both the Arabic version and the Ethiopic version which was then published in The Forgotten Books of Eden in 1927 by The World Publishing Company. In 1995, the text was extracted from a copy of The Forgotten Books of Eden and converted to electronic form by Dennis Hawkins. It was then translated into more modern English by simply exchanging 'Thou' s for 'You's, 'Art's for 'Are's, and so forth. The text was then carefully re-read to ensure its integrity. Chapter I - The crystal sea, God commands Adam, expelled from Eden, to live in the Cave of Treasures. 1 On the third day, God planted the garden in the east of the earth, on the border of the world eastward, beyond which, towards the sun- rising, one finds nothing but water, that encompasses the whole world, and reaches to the borders of heaven. 2 And to the north of the garden there is a sea of water, clear and pure to the taste, unlike anything else; so that, through the clearness thereof, one may look into the depths of the earth. 3 And when a man washes himself in it, he becomes clean of the cleanness thereof, and white of its whiteness—even if he were dark. 4 And God created that sea of his own good pleasure, for He knew what would come of the man He would make; so that after he had left the garden, on account of his transgression, men should be born in the earth.

In fact there are numerous genuine texts from the Indian tradition that contain data on this subject: the problem is that such texts are often incorrectly or inaccurately quoted by some authors to support theories that are opposite to the teachings explicitly presented in those same original texts.

    www.Scriptural-Truth.com Chapter I. The grief stricken family. Cain marries Luluwa and they move away. WHEN Luluwa heard Cain's words, she wept and went to call her father and mother, and told them how that Cain had killed his brother Abel. 2 Then they all cried aloud and lifted up their voices, and slapped their faces, and threw dust upon their heads, and rent asunder their garments, and went out and came to the place where Abel was killed. 3 And they found him lying on the earth, killed, and beasts around him; while they wept and cried because of this just one. From his body, by reason of its purity, went forth a smell of sweet spices. 4 And Adam carried him, his tears streaming down his face; and went to the Cave of Treasures, where he laid him, and wound him up with sweet spices and myrrh. 5 And Adam and Eve continued by the burial of him in great grief a hundred and forty days. Abel was fifteen and a half years old, and Cain seventeen years and a half. 6 As for Cain, when the mourning for his brother was ended, he took his sister Luluwa and married her, without leave from his father and mother; for they could not keep him from her, by reason of their heavy heart. 7 He then went down to the bottom of the mountain, away from the garden, near to the place where he had killed his brother. 8 And in that place were many fruit trees and forest trees.

This text is in the public domain in the US because its copyright was not renewed in a timely fashion. THE ORDER OF ALL THE BOOKS OF THE FORGOTTEN BOOKS OF EDEN The First Book of Adam and Eve The Second Book of Adam and Eve The Secrets of Enoch The Psalms of Solomon The Odes of Solomon The Letter of Aristeas The Fourth Book of Maccabees The Story of Ahikar The Testament of Reuben Simeon Levi Judah Issachar Zebulun Dan Naphtali Gad Asher Joseph Benjamin PREFACE TODAY the medley of outward life has made a perplexity of inward life. We moderns have ruffled our old incertitudes to an absurd point--incertitudes that are older than theology. Not without justification have priests mounted altars for generations and cried, "Oh my soul, why dost thou trouble me?" We are active, restless both in body and mind. Curiosity has replaced blind faith. We go groping, peering, searching, scornful of dogmas, back, further back to sources. And just as the physicist thrills at the universes he discovers as he works inward in the quest of his electrons, so the average man exults in his apprehension of fundamentals of psychology. New cults spring up, attesting to the Truth--as they see it--countless fleets of Theism, Buchmanism, Theosophy, Bahai'ism, etc., sail under brightly colored flags; and Atheism is flaunting itself on the horizon.

  • MJM FOREWORD Bible Reflections Is a Result of Following God?S Christ
    BIBLE REFLECTIOS CHRISTIA: MJM FOREWORD Bible Reflections is a result of following God?s Christ for some forty-five years, from my seventeenth to my sixty-first year, desiring to record those things I have been given and learnt of God?s Word the Holy Bible. It was the instrument in my conversion and my growth in God?s grace by a measure of His Holy Spirit. As with other seekers of God and His kingdom, of Christ and His body, I have treasured the Scriptures as a scribe amidst a life of family and work. Biblical things and the Scriptures themselves have occupied my heart and eyes and ears for countless hours through these many years. It was not given to me to be a scholar though I have become scholarly in my own small way. The Lord would have me follow Him and live by God?s Word in an evil and dark and confused world. I followed often without knowing the end He designed, not seeing the path clearly, at times falling into pits, and sometimes, at every turn, finding failure, disappointment, with rejection, along the path. My share in the established public ministry was briefly in the Missionary Baptist church or denomination; my zeal was to know Christ as my All, and to follow His word and will and His Spirit to whatever end God determined. The Bible was always the Holy Book of God, giving life and wisdom, grace and instruction, faith and salvation, leading to God?s love and truth. I did not shun learning from God, by Christ?s Spirit, I did not reject the good things given by men as helpful and useful, but instead was diligent to acquire and acquaint myself at whatever cost.

A CIP catalogue record for this title is available from the British Library. Dedication This story is especially dedicated to Zechariah Sitchin and the other subsequent translators of the Sumerian texts, who have shown us that the Creation Story may well have been much older and different to what historians tell us. Foreword The literature of ancient Sumer, which is around 6,000 years old, is so far the earliest translated literature pre-dating the Bible. That said, we should look to Sumerian literature as the source of information on the global flood, the wars of heaven and Earth, the ancient gods, the creation of mankind, and the fall of humanity. There are recorded details of these momentous events in Sumerian historical literature, making it the real Bible for humankind.

Scott his book presents a detailed account of authenticity in the visual arts from the Palaeolithic to the postmodern. The restoration of works Tof art can alter the perception of authenticity, and may result in the creation of fakes and forgeries. These interactions set the stage for the subject of this book, which initially examines the conservation perspective, then continues with a detailed discussion of what “authenticity” means, and the philosophical background. Included are several case studies that discuss conceptual, aesthetic, and material authenticity of ancient and modern art in the context of restoration and forgery. • Scott Above: An artwork created by the author as a conceptual appropriation of the original Egyptian faience objects.
