Introduction

Welcome to the Christogenea overview of the Bible and History. The purpose of this overview has evolved with this new (December, 2024) version of the website, and for our purposes now, we hope to have it serve as a guide to the various materials at Christogenea, which may help the reader find where various questions may be answered concerning our view of Scripture and history. In the course of accomplishing  that, we will present some bullet-points taken from our recent Genesis commentary, and also refer our readers to other related materials. 

Many people who find our work and begin to read it, and who persist in spite of their initial impressions, have a plethora of questions, and a series of "What ifs" and "What abouts". For now, we can only assure you that at one time or another, we have addressed practically every verse of Scripture within the context of both Scripture and History, and there is nothing which truly conflicts with our Christian Identity worldview or which disturbs us at all, once it is studied. Identity Christians believe and accept every word of the Old Testament Prophets, and upon those and the words of Christ and His apostles, we formulate our worldview. 

But not every question can be answered in a short sentence, or in a one-minute video. While some may be answered succinctly, others may take an hour or longer to answer sufficiently. So a typical question we often confront, "Didn't Moses marry a black woman?" may take an hour to answer, because the meaning of the word Cush (often translated as "Ethiopia") in the time of Moses, and the locations of the land of Cush in the ancient world (there were two lands of Cush), as well as Biblical statements indicating that the wife of Moses was a Hebrew just like himself, must all be explained. That is only one example, but it is a common question, and we have answered it here on more than one occasion (the most recent is our October, 2023, Topical Discussions presentation). 

Christian Identity is not a denomination, and neither should it be. Rather, it is a theological and historical point of view founded upon Scripture, history and archaeological discovery. So we study the Bible as well as ancient history and inscriptions, which help us to understand the historical background and context of Scripture, and also very frequently, to help prove that Scripture is true. However when we study, we study every passage of the Bible in context. Before interpreting any passage, it is of the utmost importance to note 1) who is speaking, 2) who is being addressed, 3) the context in which the words are uttered, and 4) the historical or prophetic background of that context. So we are not "one-verse wonders" who take verses out-of-context, and seek to apply them to a plethora of unrelated situations. 

For example, where the King James Version we read in John chapter 3 " For God so loved the world" but where James had asked in chapter 4 of his epistle "... know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? " for us the apparent discrepancy in the two statements may be easily resolved by asking What is the World? Our answers to that question reveal that there is no discrepancy at all. However in the course of that inquiry it shall also become apparent that we do not necessarily agree with the popular translations of Scripture, which we can prove to be errant in diverse places. 

For that, we also study language, both Hebrew and Greek, and where we differ with those translations we have explained our positions exhaustively in the appropriate places, quite often with citations from academic sources. Every translation is only a shadow of the Word of God, an imperfect shadow created by imperfect men. So we idolize no translation - not even our own. Instead, we seek the Truth and check or even correct ourselves continually. 

Furthermore, the Old Testament is not a Jewish book, and it never was. The ancient Israelites were not Jews, and properly, Jews are not Israelites. This we explain in a few short paragraphs in our 2009 article, A Concise Explanation of the Creation of the Jewish People, which is also a page in this Overview. [See there own admission from a facsimile copy of a page from The Jewish Almanac by clicking here.]

In his 2nd epistle to the Corinthians, in chapter 3, Paul of Tarsus explains that one cannot even understand the Old Testament Scripture, referring explicitly to Moses, unless one is first in Christ, i.e., having the Word of Christ as a guide. With that we wholeheartedly agree, as we would always agree with Paul, and we explained our position on that subject more fully in our 2009 essay On Biblical Exegesis. For that same reason, the first part in our 60-part Genesis commentary is titled The Creation Account through Christian Eyes, because unless one believes the Word of Christ which are found in His parables and Revelation, and the words of His apostles, then one will never understand Genesis. As the apostle Matthew wrote, in chapter 13 of his Gospel account:

34 All these things Yahshua had spoken in parables to the crowds, and without a parable He spoke nothing to them, 35 that that which was spoken through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying: “I shall open My mouth in parables; I shall bellow things kept secret from the foundation of Society!”

If Christ came to reveal things kept secret from the foundation of the world, then we cannot imagine that Genesis is a complete revelation of everything which happened in Creation from the first Bible verse to the time of Moses. But the Word of Christ, who is the Word made flesh, referring to Genesis itself, instructs us in many things which had not been given to Moses. So for that reason, neither can we properly interpret Genesis first, and then the rest of the Bible. Rather, we must know and accept the words of Christ and all the prophets, and then may we justly interpret Genesis. 

For the cold, hard truths of our Biblical perspective in Genesis and Revelation, we must recommend a series of four podcasts which contain extemporaneous discussions and which are titled Beginnings and Ends. For even more information presented in a more gentle manner, there is a longer series of eleven discussions which are also mostly extemporaneous but which explain our perspective on Scripture throughout large portions of the entire Bible, and which is titled is Bible Basics. For a deeper and much longer discussion of history and the scattering of the so-called "lost" tribes of Israel, there is a series of seventy-seven presentations here which we had done with TruthVids from 2020 to 2022, titled 100 Proofs the Israelites were White, or a shorter video of the same title which offers a synopsis.

Some of these presentations we have just mentioned are not in writing, or the writing is incomplete, but presently we have full commentaries on the entire New Testament, on Genesis, some of the Wisdom literature, the minor prophets, and we are currently undergoing a commentary on Isaiah. All of these may be found in our Bible Commentary section. We also have many other historical essays and articles, most of which are also in podcasts. 

However if you wish to continue here, you may move on to our brief discussion of Creationism and Evolution.
