10 Common Questions About the Bible

Many people turn to the Bible with questions — both about its content and its relevance. But the way we interpret it determines the answers we receive. For those familiar with the teachings of Neville Goddard, the Bible isn't a historical document, but a psychological drama unfolding within us. It reveals the law of consciousness — showing how assumption, belief, and inner vision create reality. Here are 10 of the most-asked Bible questions, reframed through the deeper meaning Neville believed the Bible holds. 1. Are dinosaurs mentioned in the Bible? The Bible doesn't directly mention dinosaurs, but that doesn’t mean it’s silent about the forces of nature or ancient memories buried in the subconscious . Creatures like Leviathan and Behemoth (see Job 40–41) are poetic representations of untamed aspects of the self — the " beast mind " over which man must gain dominion . In Neville’s view, everything in the Bible symbolises something within . The monstrous is simply...

The Testaments: Old to New — Outside to Inside

Neville Goddard taught that the Bible is not a history book—it is a psychological drama, chronicling your own spiritual evolution. The so-called “Old” and “New” Covenants are not timelines in ancient theology, but  of consciousness . They reveal the journey from an external, ritualistic approach to the Divine, into a direct, inner relationship with the creative power of imagination. We move from ritual to realisation . From mimicking the form to becoming the substance . From shadow to substance . The Old Covenant: Crude Symbolism and Ritual Law The Old Covenant represents a stage of consciousness still caught in the illusion of separation —between God and man, power and person, heaven and earth. At this level, the mind is still unwittingly interpreting life through ritual, ceremony, sacrifice, and law. Every action is symbolic, yet misunderstood as literal . From a Nevillean lens, these rituals are primitive attempts to imitate the Law of Assumption. Burnt offerings, taber...

“Let the Reader Understand”: A Call to Look Deeper

Among the many fascinating phrases scattered throughout Scripture, one stands out for its quiet urgency and profound depth: “ let the reader understand .” We encounter it most strikingly in Matthew 24:15: “So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place ( let the reader understand ).” At first glance, it seems like just an aside — a small editorial note slipped into the text. Yet, when read symbolically, as Neville Goddard encouraged us to do, it becomes an open invitation: a direct call to perceive Scripture not as historical record but as a psychological revelation unfolding within the individual. The phrase implies that what is being described is not to be taken literally. It is a signpost, urging us to move beyond surface appearances and search for the inner drama. Neville taught that the Bible is a great psychological play, depicting the journey of consciousness as it moves from fragmentation to unity , from forgetting t...

A Short Guide to the Origin of the Bible Text

1. The Bible wasn’t written all at once. Think of it like a library , not one book. Different bits were written over hundreds of years , then gathered together later. 2. It started as stories people told each other. Before anything was written down, people told stories out loud. These were passed down for generations , especially around 3,000 years ago . 3. Writing began around 2,900 years ago. The oldest parts (like poems and early laws) started getting written around 900 BCE . That’s about 2,925 years ago . 4. The Old Testament came together over time. Different scrolls and books were written and edited over centuries. By about 2,200 years ago , most of it looked like what we have now. 5. The New Testament came much later. Around 2,000 years ago , people started writing about Jesus—his life, teachings, and what it meant. Letters by Paul (a big early Christian writer) came first, around 1,975 years ago . The Gospels (Matthew, Mark, etc.) followed. ...

Resolving Biblical Contradictions

When the Bible is read as literal history, many contradictions and inconsistencies arise that can confuse or frustrate readers. However, Neville Goddard revealed a practical and structured way to understand the Bible: not as a record of external events, but as an allegory of consciousness , imagination, and inner transformation. In this view, the Bible itself is teaching us through symbolic stories how our own states of being evolve. Here are ten common biblical contradictions and how Neville’s revelations show they are resolved when understood symbolically: 1. The Creation Timeline: Six Days or Millions of Years? Literal contradiction: Genesis 1 describes the world created in six days, but science shows the Earth formed over billions of years. Neville’s revelation: The “six days” represent stages or phases of consciousness awakening within us . Each “day” symbolises a new level of awareness or creative power in the imagination. Creation is the inner unfolding of self-awareness,...

Why Does Revelation Warn About Tampering with the Book?

At the very close of the Bible in Revelations 22:18–19, we find this striking warning: "For I say to every man to whose ears have come the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man puts anything to them, God will put on him the punishments which are in this book: And if any man takes away from the words of this book of the prophecy, God will take away from him his part in the tree of life, and in the holy town, which are written in this book.” — Revelation 22:18–19 (BBE) Traditionally, these verses are viewed as a stern caution against editing Scripture. But what if the message is not about ink and parchment, but about the imagination? Neville Goddard taught that the Bible is a psychological revelation. Every character, every event, every prophecy points to states of consciousness within you . “God” is not an external authority, but your own wonderful I AM . And so this passage takes on an entirely different tone when read through the Law of Assumption. The Inner Book...

The Word of God: Inner Dialogue and Speech

The Bible is often seen as a sacred text, but Neville Goddard offers a unique perspective that transforms how we view its teachings. Rather than seeing the Bible as a historical account, Neville interprets it symbolically, showing that the "Word of God" is not merely a phrase but a metaphor for the power of imagination . According to Neville, the Bible reveals how we can harness our imagination to create and shape our reality. The Word of God as Imagination: In Neville’s teachings, the "Word of God" represents imagination—the divine creative force within us. He draws on the story of creation in Genesis , where God says, "Let there be light," interpreting this as a metaphor for the power of imagination. Just as God created the world through words , we can create our reality through the thoughts and images we hold in our minds. Neville teaches that the Bible is not meant to be taken literally. Instead, it’s a symbolic guide that shows how we can use our ...
