Stop Misreading the Bible: Genesis 1: 1 Says That God was Created, and wasn't
If I understand what Victor Alexander says about the Aramaic word 'brasheeth' ("in the beginning") correctly, and if the Aramaic 'brasheeth' is equivalent to the Hebrew 'beresheeth' ("in the beginning"), then in the very first sentence of the Bible it says that God was created by that which was "before the beginning." See Victor's comment at http://v-a.com/bible/john_1_1-5_audio.html
Either of these words could be translated as "the Beginning," giving us: "(That which was before) The Beginning created God--the Heavens and the Earth." The only thing that was before the beginning, which therefore was the beginning, was the Ineffable.
The "Heavens" of this "created" God included myriads of spirits, consciousnesses which altogether agree as one. This is the point of Deuteronomy 6: 4: the God created as YHWH is an e'had--myriads of consciousnesses in agreement. Thus "God" in Genesis 1: 1 was the e'had--the myriads who said, "Let us make man in our image."
One ineffable Most High over myriads of spirits who are "flames of fire" = 'ELOHIM': "Over the flames" (the literal meaning of Elohim, says Alexander).
God, of course, was not created as we think of creation. We think of creation as some sort of magical popping into existence. God was imagined, and is being imagined, by the intelligence of the Ineffable. The Ineffable's imagining is an emanation of Itself. The myriads of spirits that are God--the e'had--are the Ineffable by virtue of being Its intelligence's manifestation.
How interesting that "God" became us just as the Ineffable became God--by imagining.
There is no "other" from the Ineffable. There is only one true God: the ineffable Most High, the myriads of spirits of God, and us. We are all one being. And we are doing Its will by becoming as "the Ineffable" Itself.
Instead of boasting that they are Not of This World (NTW), Christians should be promulgating that "There Is No Other ("TINO!") or "There is No Division" (TND!) or "There is No Division or Distinction" (TNDD!)
