Who is God? Until now, this question has remained unresolved. We may live in a simulation, and God could use us for personal entertainment. And God might use an avatar to appear as an ordinary human in this world. Many historical figures could have been God in disguise.
Humans imagined gods, including the Jewish deity Yahweh. But half the people in the world now worship Yahweh, also known as the Father or Allah as the all-powerful owner of this universe. This deity may be the veil behind which the owner of this universe is hiding.
Mary Magdalene may have told Jesus She was Eve reincarnated while Jesus was Adam reincarnated and that Eve did not come from Adam’s rib but that Adam was Eve’s son, so Adam, and therefore, Jesus were the Son of God. God also married Muhammad, but he did not know.
The Hebrew Bible is a collection of myths and events that happened. The history of the Jews began in the era of the Judges. Deborah may have been the first historical person in the Bible. She may have founded the Jewish nation and could have been God in disguise.

The Gospel of John remarkably differs from the other gospels. That has kept a few brilliant minds occupied. Matthew and Luke say that Jesus’ mother was a virgin. Mark does not mention it, while John claims that Jesus was with God in the beginning, that in him was life, and that life was the light of all humankind. It refers to Genesis, where, in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. But that earth was formless, empty, and covered by darkness, so God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light. John remains cryptic and goes on to say (John 1:9-13),
The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognise him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God- children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
Christians are born of God. And Jesus gave us the right to become children of God. It is all mysterious. Men cannot give birth. So, could God could be a Mother? John does not say that Jesus was Adam, who started humanity by being the husband of Eve, who was God. But in this way, you can understand how Jesus gave us the right to become children of God. The same author, whose name likely was not John, or it must have been John Doe, wrote similar things in one of his letters (1 John 2:29, 3:9, 4:7, 5:1, 5:4, 5:18). The official explanation is that born of God has spiritual meaning and does not involve a womb.
Jesus likened entering the kingdom of God to being born again. A Pharisee named Nicodemus asked, ‘How can a man be born when he is old? Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb to be born!’ And Jesus replied, ‘No one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to Spirit.’ (John 3:3-6) Nicodemus mentions the womb. So, there could be more to the phrase ‘born of God’. Baptising could symbolise the breaking of the waters.
That raises an obvious question. If the early church leaders went to such great lengths to remove all the evidence of God being a Mother, how could they have overlooked the phrase born of God? The correct answer is that they did not. The language of the Gospels is Greek. Greek culture dominated the ancient Eastern Mediterranean, where Christianity spread. Learned Jews like Paul were well-acquainted with Greek thinking. And so, Greek thought and mythology helped the early church fathers reconstruct their religion after changing God’s gender.
In Greek mythology, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, was born from the head of the male deity Zeus. Zeus’ head went open to let Athena out and then closed again. In this way, a male deity could give birth. When the church fathers changed God’s gender, they may initially have thought of the Zeus and Athena analogy, so Jesus became born of the Father. If you doubt this explanation, you could read the Odes Of Solomon. These are first-century Christian writings, thus of the earliest days for Christianity. And the oldest sources often are the closest to the truth. Ode 19 (here is that number again) comes with the following lines,
A cup of milk was offered to me: and I drank it in the sweetness of the delight of the Lord. The Son is the cup, and He who was milked is the Father. And the Holy Spirit milked Him: because His breasts were full, and it was necessary for Him that His milk should be sufficiently released. And the Holy Spirit opened His bosom and mingled the milk from the two breasts of the Father, and gave the mixture to the world without their knowledge.1
No other ancient Christian text explicitly mentions gender-related attributes of God. Here, God has female physical characteristics despite being called Father. Something has happened to the text. What could it be? I leave it to your brilliant minds to figure out. Come on, geniuses. You can do it!

1. The Lost Bible: Forgotten Scriptures Revealed. J.R. Porter (2001).
We live inside a virtual reality created by an advanced civilisation to entertain an individual we call God. That could be the purpose of our existence. The advanced civilisation probably is humanoid, which means God is much like us, with human imaginations and desires. The programme runs a script, so thinking of us as mere worms would be a delusion of grandeur. Real worms decide for themselves how they grovel and when. Welcome to the Theatre of the Absurd, where we are actors on a stage, and no one thinks. You might believe conspiracy theorists are nutters, and many of them indeed are, but apart from that, they are not paranoid enough by far. They are part of the plan, even if they do not want to. And they cannot escape their fate, not even by suicide.
So what about René Descartes, that world-famous fellow who once said, ‘I think, therefore I exist.’ Was he wrong? He begins with an assumption, ‘I think.’ He then arrives at a logical conclusion, ‘Therefore I exist.’ And so, he stamped a realness certificate on his person. But did Descartes really think? Even if he did not, he might still have an existence. Only that is dubious. Do Spike and Suzy exist? They are comic characters created by Willy Vandersteen, who does not exist anymore if he had ever done so because he stopped breathing. If you go down that road, everything you imagine exists. I just imagined a unicorn. Do unicorns exist?
Philosophers might discuss such questions for centuries, but scientists agree that merely thinking of a unicorn does not make it real. So, if God exists, we do not. We are imagined beings like unicorns. The God we imagine also does not exist because the things we imagine do not exist. There is only the God that exists in reality. But who is God? If we are here to entertain God, what is the fun of standing at the sideline? Why not take part yourself? We cannot know God. But if God plays roles and becomes one of us, we might identify some of those persons. The starting point could be Jesus, as there is a good chance he knew God as a person.
The gospels tell us that Jesus called God his Father as if it was a close personal relationship. And all four official Gospels infer Jesus was the bridegroom but do not mention the bride. The Church tells us that Jesus married the Church. But the Church did not exist when Jesus lived. A historian would call it an anachronism. An example of an anachronism is that the Roman Emperor Caesar took an aeroplane to Egypt to spend his holidays. There were no aeroplanes in the Roman Empire. And the Gospels do not say Jesus married the Church. Why should the Church lie about Jesus’ marriage? Is there something we are not allowed to know? Christians believe God is love.
The Bride of Christ probably was God in the person of Mary Magdalene. She made Jesus believe he was Adam reincarnated and that She was Eve reincarnated, that Eve did not come from Adam’s rib but that Eve gave birth to Adam, and that they were an eternal couple living from the beginning of Creation until the End of Times. Jesus was God’s son because Adam was. Hence, Adam is the Son of God (Luke 3:38), Jesus is the Firstborn of all Creation (Colossians 1:15), and Christians are born of God the ‘Father’ (John 1:13). Muhammad probably also married God in the person of Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, but unlike Jesus, he did not know.
Jesus and Muhammad have lived. The accounts of their lives may not be accurate because they date from decades after they died, but the early history of the Jews in the Jewish Bible – the Jews call it Tanakh – is mythical. Archaeological evidence does not support it. Moses never brought the Jews from Egypt into the Promised Land. Still, this story likely has a historical origin. Around the time Moses supposedly lived, the Egyptians who governed Canaan left, giving the Israelites a victory for which they had not fought. They might have seen it as a miracle, and the Israelites came to suspect that their favourite Canaanite deity, Yahweh, had something to do with it. Stories retold in evenings at campfires grow more sensational over time. Eventually, God split the Red Sea, drowned the Egyptian army and let the Israelites escape.
The Jews gradually formed a nation after the Egyptians had left. The Jewish Bible, the Tanakh, calls it the Era of the Judges. Local tribal leaders organised warfare and settled disputes. Thus, they were judges. As the Tanakh tells us, these judges had nationwide authority, but that probably was not the case. The oldest source of the entire Tanakh is the Song of Deborah. Historians think this song dates from shortly after the Egyptians left. Such a song likely did not pop up out of nowhere. Deborah brought victory to one of the local tribes that later became part of the Jewish nation. Deborah attributed that victory to their God, Yahweh. Deborah, also called the Mother of Israel, could be the earliest historical figure in the Tanakh and the founder of the Jewish nation. And so, She could have been God Herself.
The God of Abraham, known as Yahweh, the Father, and Allah, thus is a veil behind which the owner of this universe has operated so far. She only revealed Herself to Jesus. It made Jesus a unique prophet who developed grandiose views about himself as the Son of God who lived eternally from Creation to the End Times. No evidence suggests Jesus was indeed Adam. God made him believe he was. If so, he likely will not return, and we should expect a stand-in.
Jesus’ followers knew God married Jesus, but the Gospels don’t mention that essential fact. Scholars might have asked themselves why there are no eyewitness accounts or why Paul remained silent about what had transpired. Here is your answer. But why did the early leaders of the Church do it? To Jews, it was blasphemous to say God was a woman who married Jesus. Christianity had Jewish followers who had heard of the miracles Jesus did but did not know about his marriage to God. Non-Jewish converts had fewer issues with a goddess marrying a godlike human who lived eternally. Romans, Greeks and Egyptians all had myths about goddesses, godlike humans and gods having sex with humans. To them, it was business as usual, thus not particularly exciting.
Obfuscating the marriage, changing God’s gender, and introducing a virginity cult surrounding Jesus’s mother might have been the elected solution to resolve a controversy that tore the early Church apart. The leaders of the early Church probably felt uncomfortable about what they did, and some words in the Gospel of John suggest so. The compromise resolved the controversy and became Christianity as we know it.
God has a peculiar sense of humour. That can hurt your feelings. Try to understand the spectacle from God’s perspective. She lives eternally, or at least thousands of years, and uses us to pass Her time. And we are less than worms in God’s eyes. Those who anticipate the End Times expect them to be epic. That might still come to pass. The lyric Gimme The Prize by Queen could be a prophecy in disguise. It says, ‘I am the God of kingdom come,’ thus implying that the God of the coming kingdom will be a Queen.
That is a queer pun, also because Freddy Mercury was the performing artist. Queen also made a song named I Want to Break Free. In the accompanying video clip, Mercury dressed as a drag queen. Here in Western Europe, we found his performance funny, including Mercury’s gayish manners, and we had a good laugh. That was quite different elsewhere, for instance, in the United States. And now, it seems that early Christians have performed a gender change on God. This one is for the haters of the community of LGBT, and all those other letters and the plus-sign they added to make it even more inclusive, ‘Another one bites the dust.’ The leaders of this world are put on notice, ‘Give me your kings, let me squeeze them in my hands.’ And the battle is fought and won.
Lack of humour also plagues Muslims. Many are easily insulted. A Mohammed-drawing contest organised by the Dutch anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders angered Muslims in Pakistan. A Pakistani cricket player offered money to assassinate Wilders. But God doesn’t care. God even made Wilders do it. You can slit as many throats as you like, but humour will never die. If the nature of the relationship between God and Muhammad becomes public, it could alter gender relations within the Islamic community, and Pakistan will never be the same. Islam is one of God’s pranks. And so is Christianity.
The meddling of the Church Fathers with the relationship between God and Jesus gave Christianity its unique and baffling theology. Drinking Christ’s blood, eating his body, and the resurrection of the dead could be good ingredients for a motion picture called Zombie Apocalypse. Indeed, some of the Roman persecutions of Christians were due to a moral panic caused by a belief that Christians were a cannibalistic sect eating human bodies and drinking human blood. That is what they say about Satanists nowadays. But the outlandishness of Christianity begins with the idea that we are all cursed because Eve and Adam sinned. And then came Jesus, who sacrificed himself for our sins so you can save yourself by following him. There could be a silver lining to it. The belief in a Messiah might save humanity from destroying itself. And perhaps that was God’s plan all along.
Who was Mary Magdalene? That question has occupied people for ages. The gospels allow for confusion. Was Mary Magdalene a hooker or a repentant sinner? Men could play out their sexual fantasies on Her. And so, they did. She became a cult figure after the recovery of lost gospel fragments, suggesting Mary Magdalene and Jesus had an intimate relationship and that She stood above the other apostles. The official gospels also contain phrases implying Mary Magdalene might have been the most significant person in Jesus’ life. She witnessed the crucifixion from the foot of the cross after the male disciples had fled and was the first to see the resurrected Jesus.
Luke wrote that Mary Magdalene was one of the women who travelled with Jesus and supported him financially, suggesting Mary Magdalene was wealthy. We also learn Jesus had cured these women of illness and demonic possession and that seven demons had troubled Her (Luke 8:1-3). Possibly, he drew it from a dubious oral story, but you can doubt nearly everything the gospels say. It may have served a theological agenda, so the scribes later added it at the end of Mark. It at least contradicts what I am going to say. After the crucifixion, Mary Magdalene suddenly rose to prominence and became a central person in the subsequent events.
There has been speculation as to whether Mary Magdalene was Jesus’ wife. Jesus is referred to as the Bridegroom in every Gospel (Mark 2:19-20, Matthew 9:15, Luke 5:34, John 3:29). Mary Magdalene went out to wash and anoint Jesus’ body after the Crucifixion (Mark 16:1). This was the duty of the wife. The official position of the Church is that Jesus was, and still is, married to the Church, a most peculiar idea. The recovered gospels cast a different light on their relationship. The Gospel of Philip names Her as Jesus’ companion2 and mentions that Jesus loved Her more than the other disciples and kissed Her often.3 The Gospel of Mary notes that Jesus loved her more than the other women.4
There is every reason to believe that in the Jesus Movement, women were equal to men. That was still the case when Paul wrote his letters. He named women as full partners in the Christian movement and mentioned their names in his letters. That gradually changed, and the gospels came to emphasise the role of the male apostles. Possibly, the role of the women in the Jesus Movement was much greater than the official gospels currently reveal. One of the recovered gospels, the Gospel of Mary, depicts Mary Magdalene as the leader of the early Church, superior to the other apostles, including Peter, the supposed leader of the Church. One fragment reads:
Peter said to Mary, ‘Sister, we know that the Savior loved you more than all other women. Tell us the words of the Savior that you remember, the things which you know that we don’t because we haven’t heard them.’ Mary responded, ‘I will teach you about what is hidden from you.’ And she began to speak these words to them.
Likely, this gospel originates from the second century AD, so it is not as old as the official gospels. It is a gnostic gospel that centres around supposed hidden truths and inner spiritual knowledge, but other gnostic beliefs appear absent like the one implying the Jewish God of the material world is evil as opposed to the good Christian God of the spiritual world. Different groups of Christians modified the texts for their purposes, and there is reason to assume there was a close relationship between Mary Magdalene and Jesus and that the Church Fathers eliminated Jesus’ wife from the gospels by marrying him to the Church. Hence, there is reason to believe Jesus was Mary Magdalene’s husband. That raises another question: why was the marriage removed? Was Jesus too great to be married? Or was it something else?
If this world is a virtual reality to entertain a humanoid individual we call God, God could become an ordinary human. The Gospel of John says that Jesus had an intimate and loving relationship with God. He seemed to have known God personally and believed that he had eternal life and existed at the beginning of the world. Christians claim that God is love. Did Jesus and God kiss and do other things lovers do? And God can give birth, so God might not be a Father after all. Then, all the evidence and all the logic leave us with a stunning conclusion. Jesus married God in the person of Mary Magdalene. And because it is obvious and explains so much, it could be correct.
Mary Magdalene might have convinced Jesus that She was the reincarnation of Eve and that he was the reincarnation of Adam. She may have made Jesus believe that Adam was the son of Eve, so he was the Son of God because Adam was. Adam being the son of Eve makes more sense than the rib story. Thus, Mary Magdalene married Jesus after persuading him he was Her eternal husband from Creation until the End of Times. It explains why Jesus thought he had eternal life, existed from the beginning, and would live until the end. And it would make Eve the Mother of humanity. After all, we are born of God.
If that is the case, there are a few loose ends to tie up. One can imagine that the rib story was false and that Eve was Adam’s mother. But could Eve have been a goddess? That is not so obvious. God created Eve and Adam, Genesis tells. That does not corroborate what Mary Magdalene supposedly made Jesus believe. But Eve is Mother of all the Living, a title that suits a Mother Goddess. You have to leave the creation myth in Genesis behind and invent another one to make that idea work. And it just happens to be that the first sentences in the Gospel of John tell such a myth. After some mystical allusions with an ‘in the beginning,’ a ‘there was light’, and an undercover operation of Jesus during which few recognised him, Christians are born of God.

1. Who was Mary Magdalene? James Carrol (2006). Smithsonian. [link] 2. Gospel of Philip: There were three who always walked with the Lord: Mary, his mother, and her sister, and Magdalene, who was called his companion. His sister, his mother and his companion were each a Mary. 3. Gospel of Philip: And the companion of the saviour was Mary Magdalene. Christ loved Mary more than all the disciples and used to kiss her often. The rest of the disciples were offended by it and expressed disapproval. They said to him, “Why do you love her more than all of us?” The Saviour answered and said to them, “Why do I not love you like her?” 4. Gospel of Mary: Peter said to Mary, “Sister we know that the Saviour loved you more than the rest of woman. Tell us the words of the Saviour which you remember which you know, but we do not, nor have we heard them”. Mary answered and said, “What is hidden from you I will proclaim to you”. And she began to speak to them these words: “I”, she said, “I saw the Lord in a vision and I said to Him, Lord I saw you today in a vision”.
