Adam Is God, Eve Is Us: Strange Stories about Aliens, Angels, and the Love of God from the Book of Genesis

By Jason Malott

What if I told you that no human died in the great flood? Would that change the story a bit?

What about that story where God asked his friend Abraham to sacrifice his son?

Why do I ask these questions about the Bible? Because these questions need to be answered if I am to believe a God of love authored this book.

If you want to join me on this journey, you won't look at God or the Bible the same again.

And yes, there are aliens in here too.

Acknowledgments

The Bible doesn’t have to be awkward and boring. Read this aloud a few times for me. This should be your battle cry as you march through this land mine filled book.

We are the ones that make it boring and awkward.

It takes very highly educated theologians to make the Bible suck—for real.

I can still remember the first time I started reading the Bible. I got one of those red-letter Bibles that have the words of Jesus in red. I picked it up at the flea market where I worked. Instead of working, I devoured the book of Matthew in one sitting.

It was the end of 1995 when I found out about this remarkably interesting historic character named Jesus.

Picking up his book, I began a relationship that has spanned more than half my life. I was intoxicated by his words. I fell completely in love with him and was ready to follow him to the ends of the earth.

Within a few months, I found out the ends of the earth were only a few hundred miles down the road. We left everything we knew and moved away from our home to a small town in the Central Valley, Madera, California.

During this time, I became really close to Jesus. I had to; we had nothing. We talked every day, and I did my best to listen. My wife and I grew up poor, but never experienced the type of poverty that we had in Madera. It didn’t matter if I was hungry and broke, I found Jesus and his message, and that was enough. I was so in love with him that I was willing to walk the streets of Madera just to find someone I could share this love with. It was a fun ride. We saw so many positive things happen in our lives and the lives of others around us. I loved sharing my experiences with others. I felt like I could help people see this amazing book as I discovered.

The first time I remember going to a prayer meeting was when we first moved to Madera, a prayer meeting—a meeting where you pray? Now, you might have an idea of what this means, and I will bet you are very wrong. This was the mid-1990s. I would compare it more to a rock concert/rave/Reiki session. The screaming, dancing, and falling on the floor were all crazy. It was different. It was raw emotions. I seriously found it so cool. This is where I met Jeanie and Esther.

The names go together because they were usually always together at our services. These two powerful women were preachers like you have never seen before. They could preach heaven into a sanitarium is the best description I heard of them. Imagine Aimee Semple McPherson, Kathryn Kulman, and Leonard Ravenhill allwrapped up with a Pentecostal bow. They prayed in tongues, danced, shouted, cried, spitfire, and anointed with oil. They taught us things that kept us going in the hardest of times. They taught us God loved us. God was the universe’s biggest and greatest lover and will not give up on you. He is crazy for you just how you are. They taught me about a Jesus that wanted to be involved in everything in my life. They taught me I was loved, just as I was.

But most of all, they taught me how to live this out.

This had a major impact on my life in a couple of ways. I found out how much people want something more than religion and how much Jesus was interested in helping them find it. Every time I shared the love of God, it was like a morphine shot. I lived on this amazing high for a while.

Then, one day, it was time to move on.

I was too comfortable, so I said no. Yep, I bet you didn’t expect this. I wasn’t backsliding from God. I wasn’t living in sin. I was just being very selfish, and I let God know that every day.

This led to some really tough times and my inability to communicate and know what and where I should be. I knew it was time to go.

During this dark time, I really went through it until one day I found my old notes from a meeting Jeanie had preached. They reminded me to get up and do something: you will make heaven wherever you go.

When I decided to get up, I listened to God and went back to where we were from. I found God had so many wonderful things in store for me. We found a house without jobs, jobs without an address, and money when we had none. Everything just worked out for us. It has been fifteen years since I moved back, and my life has continued to become more like heaven and getting better every day. The things that were so hard and full of worry and anxiety for me are now gone.

The things these amazing women taught me had stuck to me through the tough times and brought me out to the heaven I live in today.

Pray this way.

—Jesus

They taught me to pray for God’s kingdom in every situation. How would this be in heaven? I found out my duty was to bring heaven into every situation. It is all of our duty from the beginning. Recreate heaven here on earth.

What is wrong with that?

Nothing.

Jeanie and Esther taught me to read the Bible as it is, adding nothing to it—simplicity. There was a lot I didn’t understand, but we are talking about God here, so I didn’t expect that yet—just simplicity. Praying heaven to earth.

It is too simple—too easy. There’s nothing you can do; just pray heaven, speak heaven, and bring heaven into every situation. I have been a Christian now for a quarter of a century and still live by these words today. I want to dedicate this book to them, Jeanie and Esther, for the impact their input has had on our lives. Both my wife and I, as well as my family, are in your debt.

And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sit in thine house, and when thou walk by the way, when thou lie down, and when thou rise up. And thou shalt write them upon the doorposts of thine house, and upon thy gates: That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the Lord swore unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.

—Deuteronomy 11:21

Introduction

If I told you that no human was destroyed during the great flood, would you listen? This changes a lot about how we view God, right? If I told you God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for no other reason than angelic infidelity, would you keep reading? Or the term to destroy completely a city in original Hebrew is interrupted wrongly as genocidal and does not refer to humans. Or were you aware it was God who put the rebel in the garden to protect the humans?

But most of all, you need Isaac to live. Why do I need Isaac to live?

The Bible is full of some strange stories that will make you second guess what this God character is all about. In the dungeons’ and dragons’ world, God seems to circle around chaotic good, doing whatever God wants without any question of law natural or man-made. They killed Jesus over some laws they made. Just because we just can’t understand how this God works doesn’t mean we can’t know God.

So, when I read the Bible, I see a possible contradiction. How do we put a God who loves the world with a God who repents that he ever made us?

There has to be something more to the story.

Because there are questions that need to be answered if I am to believe a God of love authored this book.

That’s right. I know you thought it too—who wrote this? And I hope to show you this by the end of this book.

But first, a quote from the man who got the closest to God as a human, the Apostle John. He wrote, God is love.

Yes, this is it. This is all you need to know as you move forward in this book. When you come across something difficult, bring it back to the center. If God is love, then his book should be full of it, start
