The Book of Creation, Genesis, is the Definition of God; Without It the New Testament is an Absurdity

It occurs to me that the person who wrote of Moses, inspired by his experience in Exodus, wrote Creation, the Book of Genesis, as a definition of God. Many hundreds, thousands, even millions of Christians read their Bibles according to their understanding of the New Testament. It should be the other way around. We are supposed to read the New Testament according to the definition of God in Genesis, otherwise, the New Testament is an absurdity.

The problem, don't you see, is that the New Testament was written by people who defined God according to the Book of Genesis, as One manifest as many. They, knowing the oneness of many, wrote of the many ("But, of course, you understand that the many are one"). Not understanding that at all, the New Testament Christian reads of many and assumes separation and division, "Because that is what it says."

Thus you get absurd proposals, such as, "Jesus has a corporal body now, and he had a corporal body in eternity past, because he did during the incarnation, and 'Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.'" Oy vey! He hasn't a corporal body in me, where he is Jacob -- my inner spiritual person. If he hasn't a physical body in me now (apart from my temporal body), his being the same yesterday, today and forever means he has NEVER had a corporal body except for those temporal bodies he inhabits as us. Because we are all one according to the definition of God: the Book of Genesis.

The New Testament without the Old Testament is an absurdity. The two are one book, and the second half makes no sense without the first. The "Son" is the manifestation of the one, ineffable Source (who is also become us!). Get the definition of God right, then you might understand the New Testament.
