The second story of creation recounted in the bible starts in genesis 2 verse 4. The first three verses are reserved to finish the first story of creation.
Two things that immediately strike the attention in the first verse of this second story is that the main character doing the creation is no longer called “god” but “LORD god” and that this “lord god” actually creates earth and heavens in one day rather than six.
Now, I'm very aware that for many people there is no difference between god, lord god, lord, and father. I know there really wasn't one for me. Somehow, it has become widely accepted and taught that all these terminologies are interchangeable and refer to the same entity. However, I would suggest, based on what I have learned from Father and Linda, that this is probably not the case. “God” is not “lord god”. “Lord” is not “god” nor “lord god”.
What you call something or someone does make a difference. Peter is not Paul. Saint John is not John.
It would be wise for someone who reads the bible to clearly make this distinction between “god”, “lord god”, “lord”, and “father”. It would not surprise me if many apparent contradictions would be solved by making this simple distinction and keeping track of who says what. For example, the reason the two stories of creation cannot be reconciled may be because each one recounts a creation by a different entity.
If you read my Spiritual Swimming series you may remember that I did an exploration of the word “tyranny” which eventually lead to the word “lord” (see “Almost there – SP12”). The connection between these two words was made by exploring the definition of the word “despot”. Through this definition we found not only that despot, master, lord, tyrant, and oppressor are all synonyms, but that these words are connected to the possession of sexual powers which in turn is related to the words demoniac, demented, and mad.
Now, let's go back to “lord god” or should we say “despot god”, “master god”, “tyrant god”, or “oppressor god”? As you can see, words do matter. It is in understanding the implications of this that “lord god's” behavior toward Adam and Eve makes sense. After all, we are apparently speaking of a demoniac, demented, mad “god” that uses sexual powers (seduction) to oppress and tyrannize.
