The Bible is the most widely printed, distributed, and translated book in the world. Unfortunately, there are three fundamental problems with this collection of ancient scrolls.

1. Due to misunderstandings, most people believe that the Bible would be irrelevant to them.

2. Because of their belief, religious people believe the Biblical stories would be historical accounts.

3. The third problem with the Bible is that current translations are not based on the most original texts.

When we buy a new electrical appliance in the store, we receive a manual that describes in detail how it works. Fortunately, there is also a similar manual for how humans function. This manual on the functioning of us humans contains approximately 738,000 words and is divided into an old and a new part. Both parts are called a Testament because they stipulate what every human is entitled to and the conditions that apply.

In the first chapter of the first book of the Bible, God says in verse 26: “Let us make [the] human according to our image and according to likeness. …” Because of the second fundamental problem (as outlined above), religious believers believe this would be a description of something that supposedly happened in the past. This is a colossal misconception.

In October 2016, I began retranslating and consistently interpreting the nearly 32,000 verses of the Bible. My research undeniably demonstrates that the Bible is indeed the “Human’s Manual”, albeit written in the form of riddles—that is, in an Esoteric code language. Anyone who takes these descriptions literally will never be able to grasp the underlying meanings.

The first book of the New Testament warns against “casting pearls before swine” (see Matthew 7:6). As soon as I explain the true meaning of the statement from Genesis 1:26 quoted above, I nevertheless disregard this warning. But what else can I do?

Religious believers are not open to finding the truth because they believe they would already have found this “truth”, namely in what they believe to be true. However, belief is nothing more than a surrogate for the lack of knowing. Someone who knows something for sure doesn’t get agitated if someone claims otherwise. Let me give an example: “This sentence consists of six words.” If someone doesn’t believe this and claims otherwise, I don’t feel attacked. We can then calmly count the words together to understand the difference. If we study the Bible in this way, everyone involved can learn from it, because even those who already know (or think they know) what is meant can, by explaining it, discover an even deeper meaning. Furthermore, because we have come to understand something new, we have also changed ourselves, making us ready to go to an even deeper level. This is called ‘progressive insight’.

Knowing that I shouldn’t waste valuable insights on people who don’t see their value or have no respect for them, I want to share one “pearl” with you here, sincerely hoping that you are not a “swine”. Why does God say in Genesis 1:26: “Let us make [the] human according to our image and according to likeness”? Why does it say “us” here? Why doesn’t God say: “Come into being: human, according to my image and likeness”? In short, what is the meaning of “us” in this verse?

Here’s the pearl. Are you ready for it? That is, do you really want to know the truth? Or would you rather continue to believe in what you believe this meaning would be? Are you open to studying the Bible without preconceptions? If so, then explore the possibility that “us” doesn’t (exclusively) refer to an external God, but rather (also) tot every human being. This verse is, in fact, a command to you and me to make ourselves into a “human”. The word “human” here is actually an Esoteric code word. To clarify this, I will capitalize it here. A Human is a likeness of God because both are a Trinity. God is a Trinity because God is Omnipresent, Omniscient, and Omnipotent. Likewise, a Human is a whole of three selves. At this point, however, Bible study begins to become more difficult, because an ordinary human (so without a capital first letter) believes to be already a trinity of body, soul, and spirit, but that is nothing more than a mere belief. The scientific truth is that every ordinary human is only the first self (which rules the physical body), and in reality has no clue what the Soul and Spirit truly are. Therefore, the following verse (1:27) emphasizes that the Human is both female and male, referring to the Soul and the Spirit respectively.

Ordinary humans believe that their (deepest) feelings and their soul would be the same, and likewise their (lofty) thoughts and their spirit. This is utter nonsense. However, because of this belief, they do not seek out what their Soul or Spirit truly are, and therefore they do not do what God commanded us in Genesis 1:26. The only way out of this unwholly situation is actual Bible study. This begins with carefully examining the correct translation of the original text. Then it is necessary to be open to a profound interpretation of the underlying meaning, and to examine it impartially and thoroughly. Only after this meaning is truly understood does the Bible begin to unfold before us, word by word and verse by verse.

We can compare the Bible to the fine print of a legally valid contract. It doesn’t matter if it isn’t read or understood, because it remains valid nonetheless. There’s a copy of a Bible version in virtually every hotel room, and none of us can claim on our deathbeds not to have had the opportunity to study this legally valid contract. In essence, this two-part Testament is remarkably simple: Develop yourself into a Human who, like God, is a Trinity. However, this is anything but simple, which is why the Human’s Manual is so comprehensive.

Are you ready for Bible study in this way? Then start by watching the videos of Wholly Scripture TeleVision (or continue with that, because the first five episodes are freely available on YouTube), followed by studying the Exegesis in the written chapters of Wholly Scripture Text Version (both abbreviated as Wholly Scripture TV). My interpretations as presented there are based on Wholly Science. This is a timeless and overall paradigm that reunites sound Science and solid Spirituality. You can also try to interpret these Bible verses yourself first. You can do this by reading Pateo’s Original Version (POV) of the Bible books that have already been retranslated.
