I put Books to the Test of Life
May Curse be upon them and their filthy books, and the Sick minds that Wrote it and corrupted it.
1. Intoxicated - Noah was Naked and Drunk (Genesis 9:20-24)
The Bible states that after the flood, Noah became a farmer. He planted a field of grapes. Noah made wine and drank it. He became drunk and lay naked in his tent.
Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his naked father. He told his brothers outside the tent. Then Shem and Japheth got a coat. They walked backwards into the tent, so they did not see their father naked.
The wine made Noah sleep. But when he woke, he learned what Ham had done. He cursed Ham, and prayed that he be the slave of his brothers.
2. Murder - Moses Killed Women and Boys(Numbers 31:15-17)
Moses asked his army to get even with the Midianites.
Therefore, the Israeli army killed all the Midianite men and burned all their towns and villages. They took the women, children and animals and brought them to Moses.
Moses was very angry with the leaders of the army. Moses said to them "Why did you let the women live. Now kill all the Midianite boys and women and spare the women who had not sexual relations with any man". The women who were spared were 32,000! Now imagine how many men, women and boys were killed by the command of Moses.
3. Incest - Lot committed Incest with his Daughters(Genesis 19:30-36)
Lot was the nephew of Abraham. In the Bible, Lot took his two daughters to live in a cave in the mountain. The daughters conspired to use their father to grow a family by getting him drunk and then having sex with their father each in one night. They did that, and they became pregnant.
The older daughter gave birth to a son called Moab (Hebrew: from my father!), and the younger daughter gave birth to a son called Ben-Ammi (Hebrew: Son of my father!)
It was not enough for Lot’s daughters to commit this incestuous act, but they went further and give their illegitimate children names to publicize their sinful act!
4. Deception - Jacob deceived his brother Esau, and father, Isaac(Genesis 25:22-34)
Isaac, son of Abraham married Rebekah. While she was pregnant, God told her that she would have twin sons in her body, and that the older son would serve the younger.
The first baby was red and hairy, so he was called Esau, (means hairy). When the second baby was born, he was holding tightly to Esau’ heel, so he was named Jacob, (means heel or tricky).
In the ancient Near East, birth order was extremely important, because the firstborn son was entitled to the birth right, which meant the largest portion of the father’s inheritance.
Esau and Jacob grew up. One time Esau came back from the field hungry. He asked his brother to let him have some of the red lentil soup that Jacob was eating. And for some of the red lentil soup, Jacob asked for Esau’s rights as firstborn in return.
Esau did not have a choice. If he died from hunger, Jacob would have all of his father’s wealth anyway.
When the time came for Isaac to give the birth right to Esau, Rebekah encouraged Jacob to pose as his older brother. To deceive his weak-eyed father, Jacob put on his brother’s clothing and goatskin on his arms to simulate hairy arms.
Isaac gave Jacob the blessing and the birth right that included control over Esau.
5. Cheating & Killing - Jacob’s family life rife with Infidelity, Rape, Lies, Killing and Cheating
Jacob was married to two sisters, Leah and Rachel at the same time. Leah was the mother of all his children except for Joseph and Benjamin whose mother was Rachel.
Jacob's daughter, Dinah was kidnapped and raped by the son of the king. In revenge, Dinah's brothers, Simon and Levi killed the king and his son.
Jacob’s sons from Leah conspired to throw Joseph into a well.
Jacob's first son Reuben was accused by Jacob of sleeping with one of his father’s wives.
This Biblical story does not seem like a family of a Prophet of God, but more of a modern-day TV soap opera. Any research into these Bible story's will prove what these stories were exactly that, fictitious stories written to serve political tribal objectives of the time.
May the blessings and peace of God be upon Jacob, Esau, Leah, Reuben and all of Isaac's offspring.
In Jewish and Christian scripture, Prophets often commit major Sins.
God sent Prophets for the guidance of mankind. All Prophets were humans, and righteous examples for humanity. The table below lists Bible verses which allow for vile and deplorable accounts of prophets.1. Intoxicated - Noah was Naked and Drunk (Genesis 9:20-24)
The Bible states that after the flood, Noah became a farmer. He planted a field of grapes. Noah made wine and drank it. He became drunk and lay naked in his tent.
Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his naked father. He told his brothers outside the tent. Then Shem and Japheth got a coat. They walked backwards into the tent, so they did not see their father naked.
The wine made Noah sleep. But when he woke, he learned what Ham had done. He cursed Ham, and prayed that he be the slave of his brothers.

2. Murder - Moses Killed Women and Boys(Numbers 31:15-17)
Moses asked his army to get even with the Midianites.

Moses was very angry with the leaders of the army. Moses said to them "Why did you let the women live. Now kill all the Midianite boys and women and spare the women who had not sexual relations with any man". The women who were spared were 32,000! Now imagine how many men, women and boys were killed by the command of Moses.
- Are these the actions of a righteous God-fearing prophet of God?
- Is this the same Moses who preached the commandment "Thou shall not kill"?
- If those people were killed because they had sexually transmitted disease, why kill the boys and spare the girls? And how many people did they slaughter?

- Why did the writer say that God told Rebekah that her older son would serve her younger son?
- Why did Isaac give the birth right to Jacob?
