How to Cross the Boundary from Death into Eternal Life (1 Jn. 3 v 14).

Gen. 1 v 2-3, Jn. 1 v 4

You did not choose to be made but God knew you before you were formed (Ps. 139 v 7-16). Your first experience of life was in your mother’s womb. The next was very traumatic! You were suddenly forced into a world of which you had little sensed knowledge. Your day to day survival relied on the love and care of your parents and others in a civilised society.

Your next life changing experience is equally traumatic. You bump into God. You must start your life all over again based on Christ’s thinking (Jn. 3 v 3-15, 1 Cor. 2 & 3).

You are presented with a new life of which you have little knowledge in which your survival and eternal future depends on trusting in the love of your eternal Father via your personal relationship with His visible, tangible person (Jn. 3 v 15-21, 17 v 8-11) as guided by His omnipresent Spirit (Jas. 1 v 4-12).

It is by grace you are saved (Eph. 2 v 4-10). Only those who repent of the unfaithful ways the inherited from the first Adam and accept the ways of the new Adam can receive the gift of a new life from him (Jn. 14 v 6-24, 15 v 5, 16 v 7-15). That unity must be the desire of your heart.

This is impossible for anyone to attain by their own effort. They do not even know what God’s will for them is without having a relationship with His tangible person (Gen. 2 v 9, Jn. 6 v 58-63, 15 v 5-6, Php. 3 v 9-16). The choice is to be faithful to Christ and be ‘married’ into God’s family or remain alone, fearful and bankrupt forever.

You must be born again as the Bride of Christ. You must surrender your old Adamic thinking to death and accept Christ’s by faith in his works (Heb.3 19, 4 v 7-16). Nothing of that old life can be saved (1 Cor. 3 v 11-21, 15 v 45-50). This life is just the schooling for the next where you learn how to walk and talk with the King of kings. The New Jerusalem as the home prepared by the bridegroom for his Bride is out of this world (Rev. 21 v 2-3, 10-27, 22 v 17-19)!

Adam’s sin was to think he could use his free will to decide what was good for himself (Gen. 2 v 16-17). Directly he disobeyed the will of God he became divorced from the love and perfect will that exists within the Godhead. He swapped God’s guiding Spirit of truth and life for one of deception and death (Jn. 8 v 43-47). His life became meaningless and his dreams just futile make-believe.

All the self-determined who want to remain free of God’s laws repeat Adam’s sin. They swap God’s eternal provision for eternal despair. Man’s wisdom as opposed to God’s is self-destructive (Gen. 3 v 17-19).

All his religions and spirituality is inspired by spirits who appear as angels of enlightenment (Gen. 3 v 4-6). Those who worship them perpetuate their hopeless state forever (Gen. 3 v 22-24, Lev. 19 v 27-31, 20 v 27, Deut. 18 v 9-14). Witchcraft and idolatry are based on seeking and obeying a creature or object as your god instead of ther creator (1 Sam. 15 v 23, Jn. 8 v 42-47, 12 v 41-48, Rom. 1 v 18-25).

Me in association with the infinite God Almighty is never going to work as any finite person would be overwhelmed by just a fading glimpse of Him (Ex. 33 v 20-23). Even His tangible person is beyond our comprehension. God plus me could only work if he lowered himself to our level (Jn. 1 v 1-14). Then we might know him (Php. 2 v 6-13, Col. 1 v 12-19, 2 v 9-23, Heb. 2 v 10-18) and comprehend his love for us.

Only by being completely one with Jesus’ love and will can we relate to our Father in heaven as His children (Rom. 11 v 36). God has made it possible for very humble people to experience the love and joy that flows between the Infinite Father, His Holy Omnipotent, Omnipresent Spirit and His tangible person through whom He made all His finite creations (Col. 1 v 13-20, 2 v 8-17, 3 v 1).

God loves us but a close relationship on earth can only be maintained if there is way back to Him every time we are sorry for departing from His will which is often (Jn. 3 v 15-18). He sent Jesus into our realm to annul that barrier to our relationship by shielding us from our fear of His holiness (1 Jn. 1 v 5-10).

Every day we are faced with choices: to do what pleases our earthly life or seek to do what God says is good (Gen. 2 v 15-17, 3 v 3-6). Your spirit, alter ego or inner voices tempt you into doing all the things that God has said are bad for you.

They have no power over your thoughts and feelings unless you ‘just check’ if their persuasive free offers are half-true (Lk. 4 v 12-13, 16 v 22-24). If you do you will pick up a spiritual virus. It will impress, depress, oppress then possess your soul. Only a determined rejection of them and a turning to Jesus as your Saviour can release you from the influence they have over all Adam’s descendants (Gen. 3 v 3-6, Rom. 7 v 18-24).

This how scammers get thousands of pounds out of the tempted with nearly too good to be true offers. Stop before you press ‘accept’. Put the phone down immediately the patter starts. Do not trust the salesman’s claims, the emotional pleas of professional charity businesses nor the nicest person who offers to make you money.

The only one who has more than enough love to be unlimited in giving is our heavenly Father. Unless you turn away from your self-pursued ways and seek to know and be one with Him you will not have his risen life (Jn. 1 v 33-34, 1 Jn. 5 v 9-14). The only one to apply to for a new life is Jesus (Jn. 14 v 6, 13-23).

Only Jesus’ priesthood can cover your repentance forever (Eph. 1 v 7-14, Heb. 7 v 21-28). Those who commit their old ways to death through baptism into Jesus’ death (Rom. 6 v 3-13), after their faith has been tested and confirmed (Acts 3 v 38, Jas. 1 v 5-8), will receive his risen righteousness from his Spirit (Rom. 8 v 1-13).

The love of God then will fill their frustrated heart with joy, peace and laughter (Ps. 126, Is. 51 v Php. 4 v 6-7). They sing the songs of the redeemed (Eph. 5 v 19, Gal. 3 v 13, 4 v 5, Rev. 5 v 9).

The Holy Spirit reconnects them with the Father and introduces them to His thoughts and ways as demonstrated by Jesus (Jn. 16 v 7-11, Rom. 8, 1 Cor. 2 v 12-16, Gal. 5 v 16-26). He encourages them to trust in Jesus’ proven love and trains them to use spiritual gifts in obedience to His prompts (1 Cor. 12 v 4-11, Eph. 4 v 1-24).

God’s direct phone number is Jeremiah33.3. His e-mail Jesuslordandsaviour@rhofGod. Access to God’s ‘cloud’ at goodnews@wordofGod.HS, is open to all but the condition for full membership is to give up your old earth-bound life and accept His offer of the new sinless life of His promised Saviour (Gen. 3 v 15, Job. 19 v 24-27, Rev. 20 v 12-15). The passcode is Ephesians2:2-10.

Physical death is the boundary between eternal life and eternal death. Everyone who confess their sin against God before they die and cry to Him for forgiveness will be forgiven (Ezk. 18 v 21 v 25, Lk. 23 v 39-43). You do not do Him a favour by accepting him. Salvation depends on Jesus accepting you so do not try to do it ‘my way’ or some holy man’s way (Mt. 7 v 15-26, 12 v 50).

The choice is simple; accept God’s kingdom ruled by love or Satan’s that is ruled by contention and hate (Mt. 7 v 15-20, 1 Jn.4 v 1-10). The only other kingdom or limbo for those who waver between the two is that of the self-determined here on this earth (Gen.2 v 15-17, Josh. 24 v 15). Works that serve man’s kingdom or just please men die with him (1 Cor. 3 v 1-20).

Much of human thinking limits everything to human thinking. Every natural phenomena is reduced to a formula based on the laws that govern science. Those who think nature made life by chance ignore the fact that each particle is not machine made but unique. No two leaves are the same yet they are ordered.

Nature has a framework of laws but as a whole it is unpredictable. All human forecasts are just logical guesses based on past behaviour. Guesses based on half-truths are not logical but questionable. Those who ignore the Father’s handbook and try to reduce the infinite to a set of laws have a meaningless, illogical existence. They end up with a clockwork ideology that if they do not wind it up it does not work (1 Sam. 5 v 2-4, 1 Kg. 18 v 24-26, 37-39).

All theories are guesses. If you just apply God’s promises as a self-centred religious formula instead of as your heartfelt repentance for not obeying Him you repeat Adam’s and Cain’s sin (Mt. 7 v 21-23). You can only be forgiven by faith in God’s love through Jesus’ sacrifice (Eph. 2 v 4-10, Heb. 11 v 6). No one can be joined to the Father’s life again by their own efforts at obeying the 10 commandments that only condemn the guilty (Gal. 3 v 10-12).

Jesus will come in his majesty with great power to destroy all who hate him (Rev. 19 v 11-21). To save us however he came as a human being and was killed by his enemies (Is. 53). All who like him accept that their human life must die (Gen. 2 v 17) and are identified with him in death (Rom. 6 v 2-9) will rise with his new life and form (Job. 19 v 25-27, Mt. 27 v 53, Lk. 24 v 36-43).

Your devotion to God may be in the form of trusting in the teaching of an intermediary or observing some religious practice but it will not join you to Christ. We are not saved by joining a religion or church as our mother but through a marriage covenant with Christ the King (Rom. 7 v 1-4; see post ‘King of Kings’). The true Body of Christ is betrothed or fully committed to Christ (Gal. 3 v 13-22, Eph. 1 v 7-23). Jesus’ ways are the opposite of our ways (Is. 55, Rom. 1 v 21-32, 1 Cor. 2 & 3, Eph. 4 v 21-32, Col. 3 v 5-23).

The original of 1 Corinthians 13 v 11-12 says:  .…. my natural thinking must be put away. For now we see an enigma as through a window pane (of Roman glass): the revealed things of God are a paradox or the opposite of what we see in ourselves. It is significant that it has been changed to a ‘mirror’ to suit the Gnostic/Freudian idea of gaining knowledge from a spirit or alter ego through self-centred meditation.

Your conjecture about what you perceive in a mirror is the reverse of the reality that God sees (Rom. 1 v 25). God sees what is hidden in the heart (1 Sam. 10 v 19-23,16 v 7, Mt. 23 v 27-28). Those who have faith in God’s love have a peace that is greater than their circumstances (Lk. 16 v 19-25) but the self-saving have no peace despite their self-confident looks (Jer. 17 v 7-11).

The saved are not self-sufficient god-like-ones (Gen. 3 v 5); they are God sufficient selves (Jn. 3 v 3-6). We must use the clues given to us in God’s revealed words, as highlighted by His Holy Spirit, to see things from His perspective and not expect Him to think like us (Rom. 8 v 5-14, 1 Cor. 2 v 12).

The high calling of God is tied up with recognising our frailty (Rom. 7 v 24, Jas. 4 v 3-14) so we can be sons of the Father without compromising His Holiness. Jesus re-joins us to the Father’s life so we might glorify his name on earth (Jn. 14 v 23-29, 15 v 6-12).

The Father’s plan in sending Jesus to earth as a human was to enable humans to become part of the Godhead as His sons (Jn. 14 v 1-4, 17 v 11, 20-24). At this time this is hard to comprehend yet this is why Jesus suffered death in our place which is also too great to fathom (Heb, 2 v 5-15). His love not only shields us from God’s holiness on earth but does so forever (Heb. 4 v 13-16, 5 v 6, 7 v 21-25).

We do not enter into his guaranteed new life as Abel and Job did (Gen. 3 v 15, Heb. 11 v 4, Job 19 v 25-27) by faith in his promise: we enter by faith in his accomplished work (Heb. 10 v 10-23). The love of God as proved by Jesus at Calvary carries the Holy Spirit’s assurance (Eph. 1 v 6-14, Heb. 11 v 1-10).

Faith in self in or in another finite being gives no assurance. Every day we have to preserve our vulnerable life from harm. We long for the eternally secure life that Adam was born with then threw away (Gen. 2 v 16-17, 3 v 6-13). Our dying Adamic human nature cannot be saved; it is what we need to be saved from (Rom. 7 v 23-24, 8 v 5-9).

Did you think you could enter the Father’s presence still wearing your sin and self-conscious rags? Those who do not see that their self-powered life is a write off and try to save it instead of trusting in his promised new life (Mt. 7 v 21-23) are cut off from the Father’s glorious life forever (Gen. 3 v 15, Jn. 1 v 29-33).

If we like Adam slander the Father’s love and do not trust in His words then we cannot be made one with His life and will (Ezra 8 v 22, Mt. 12 v 30-32, 50, Heb. 3 v 10-19, 4 v 12-16, 1 Jn. 1 v 9). True believers repent, submit to Jesus as their Lord and Saviour and rest from their worries and fears (Mt. 6 v 21-34, Jn. 14 v 1-6, Rom. 8 v 13-39).

They receive his life as a gift of faith from his Holy Spirit then allow him to replace their filthy rags with Jesus’ righteousness Heb. 4 v 10-16, 12 v 1-11, 22-29. It is like sitting in an armchair that is in a wheel barrow that Jesus is wheeling on a tightrope over Niagara Falls! So stop wrestling with him (Gen. 32 v 24-30, Ps. 46)!

While Adam and Jesus were unified with the Father’s will they were unified with His holy, eternal, life by His Holy Spirit. Adam’s sin against the Father cut him off from His perfect life. At Calvary Jesus, as a man (Heb. 2 v 16-18) took the punishment of death in man’s place. He voluntarily cut himself off from his Father’s life.

As a man in death he was identical with all of Adam’s descendants who die trusting in the Father’s promise to save them. Yet Jesus as a man knew no sin (Job. 19 v 25-27, Ps. 16 v 9-11, Lk. 22 v 42). As the Son or visible person of the infinite Father (Jn. 14 v 6-23) just by his presence he took authority over death (1 Pt. 3 v 18-22).

The enormity of his victory was then manifested: he took the resting place for unresurrected dead believers with him (Eph. 4 v 8-16). The place alongside fear called Paradeilos became Paradeios (1 Cor. 15 v 54-57, 1 Tim. 1 v 9-10). Wow!

People who repent for their self-pleasing lives (1 Jn. 1 v 6-10) and cry to the Father to forgiven them before they lose it (Ezk. 18 v 23-28, Mt. 3 v 6-12, Lk. 23 v 40-43, Jn. 1 v 26-33) do not now go to ‘Abraham’s bosom’ in comfort but alongside hell (Lk. 16 v 22-25). It is under new management: they go into the presence of Jesus to await their holy resurrection bodies and entry into the Father’s presence forever (1 Cor. 15 v 49-52, 1 Thess. 4 v 14-16, Rev. 6 v 9-11).

When he arose as a human and was accepted by Father, all those identical with him in death also arose and were accepted (Mt. 27 v 51-53). Not just them but those alive on earth who are wholly committed to him in death through baptism into his death (Rom. 6 v 1-14) are also filled with his Holy life by His Spirit (Jn. 20 v 21-23).

They are given gifts by his Spirit that transform their worldly lives in measured stages  (Eph. 4 v 7-8) into the God-centred life that Adam discarded. The more advanced also judge those whose repentance is genuine or false: who could also receive his Spirit and who could not (Acts 8 v 17-23). The self-appointed apostles and prophets, who promote themselves instead of Jesus will always, sooner or later, be exposed by their carnal, godless works (Mt. 7 v 16-22, Jn. 15 v 4, Jude 12-13).

Just believing in Jesus will not save you (Jas. 2 v 19-20). You must repent for rejecting the Father’s will (Jn. 3 v 5-21, Rom. 10 v 6-13, Jas. 4 v 3-10). Commitment by baptism in water is something you do. Jesus is the one who baptises with the Holy Spirit (Jn. 1 v 33). If you hold back and resist the Holy Spirit’s challenges your faith will not develop and your life will be a like a stuck record (Num. 14 v 22-38).

Once the Holy Spirit’s refining is finished (Mt. 3 v 11-12, Lk. 12 v 49-51, Heb. 4 v 12-16) he is the one who baptises with the fire that burns-up the dross and makes the humbled human a son of God the Father (Jn. 3 v 2-6, 17 v 17-26).

This is the Gospel that turns this lost world upside down (Acts 17 v 6, 26 v 18-20). Baptizing them in the name of the Father and also of the Son and also the Holy Spirit is what the Apostles did (Mt. 28 v 18-20, Acts 2 v 38, 19 v 3-6, 2 Tim. 1 v 6-7). It has now been watered down to a commitment to a man-powered spiritual life (Gen. 3 v 3-5) that has nothing to do with Jesus, his Holy Spirit or the Father’s will and words.

The self-determined are not centred on God’s offer of life live so they live with a fear for survival (Mt. 11 v 28-30). Their aim is to prove they are right and God is wrong. Their pride stops them repenting of the evil that is hidden within their wilful hearts (Gen. 4 v 5-8, Mt. 5 v 18-48, Mk. 7 v 18-23, Lk. 18 v 9-14) even when their ways start to unravel (Deut. 28 v 14-67).

They build a man-centred, anti-Christ kingdom that makes people serve the gods of this world instead of God’s will. They do not allay their fear of judgement but create a shop window for the carnal to have spiritual encounters with deceiving sprits from hell instead of heaven (Heb. 2 v 15). The lost are not self-sufficient gods; they are imprisoned, spirit bound souls (Rom. 7 v 14-24).

The self-excused live in unreality about their death bound state. The politically correct present half-truths as true; scientists make reality fit their theoretical world; workers in a treadmill world; philosophers in a ‘what if’ and ‘may be’ house of cards and religious people hide from the reality of their godless state (Gen. 4 v 5, Jer. 44 v 15-22, Lk. 18 v 11-14).

They transcend reality by living in their minds as if their soul stirring emotions, music, mystic worship, sensory excesses and conjured or virtual entertaining experiences give them an alternative spiritual life. You cannot save your dying independent life. You need to get a new life (Jn. 3 v 3-6, 15-21, Rom. 8).

God is a realist. Jesus proved what he said was true by doing many miracles. He healed all the needy who asked him for help. He fed the hungry and released the repentant who were bound by their sin but men who live for bread alone are stuck with their dying life (Mt. 4 v 4). His truth does not remove the woes of this life but sets you free from their power.

He empowers you to let go of this hopeless life (Jn. 8 v 32, Heb. 2 v 14-18). His eternal ministry is the offer of a new God related and spiritually sustained life (Jn. 6 v 26-29, 58-63). That life is not mystic but a spiritual reality (Jn. 16 v 33, Heb. 11 v 1-3). His miracles did not overcome reality: they showed that he made the laws of nature and rules over them (Col. 1 v 12-23). Trust him! Neglect his words at your peril (Heb. 12 v 22-29.

Man’s self-saving and justifying ways are illogical. Many bow to spirits in the heavens and on earth as if the unstable powers in nature that they spend the lives defending themselves against could save them (Jer. 2 v 26-35, 7 v 28-31, Heb. 2 v 14-15)! They are driven to defend the gods who are killing them!

Many prefer to believe in Satan’s mystic mind games instead of the truth (Lk. 13 v 34-35, 16 v 27-31). In vain they teach (Mt. 15 v 9) their man-devised, self-saving, religious practices that do the opposite of God’s revealed will. Unless they open their dark heart to the light of God’s truth and cry to the Father to save them before they die they will be plagued by guilt, fear and remorse (Mt. 6 v 12-15, 24-51) for ever and ever.

Jesus as the Lord of all creation humbled himself and put on human form then died as criminal hanging on a gallows to redeem us from our sinful nature (Php. 2 v 8-11). If instead of trying to excuse it we confess our inherited life is divorced from God’s goodness, we can start a new life in obedience to Jesus as our Lord. We are made one with God the Father’s family through a marriage covenant ‘until death do us join’ by being one with Jesus and starting a new life in the home he has prepared (1 Cor. 11 v 23-26, Jn. 14 v 3, 23, 17 v 21-26, Eph. 1 v 4-14).

If you confess that your death bound state is wretched (Rom. 7 v 24) and humble yourself at the foot of the cross your sin unto death will be wiped out. For eternity only the deeds of your new life will be remembered (1 Cor. 3 v 11-23). It is only foolish pride that rejects the Holy Spirits conviction of sin (Mt. 12 v 31-37): the lost consign themselves to eternal self-hate and despair. Only the missed oppertunities, foolish mistakes and bad deeds of their dead life will be remembered forever.

There are many who believe that Jesus is the Father’s promised redeemer but they are double minded (Jas. 1 v 5-8, 2 v 18-20). They delay deciding to give up their old ego until later (Jas. 4 v 3-12). It would seem that about half of those who want to be just friends with God wake up to this fact too late (Mt. 25 v 2).

Only those who believe and bow to Christ as their Lord and Saviour are his Bride (1 Cor. 10 v 1-12, 15 v 23, Heb. 4 v 1-2, 11 v 6). Like the wise and foolish virgins (Zech. 4 v 12, Mt. 25 v 8-12, Lk. 13 v 24-28), only half of the friends of the bride who do not know Jesus will know enough to be saved by repenting and committing themselves unto him at the last minute (Ezk. 18 v 26-32, Lk. 17 v 3, 26-37).

Money by itself is not evil: its notional value enables you to do both your own and God’s works. The foolish who treat the pleasures and riches of this world as their reason for living or their god will be hooked and consumed by it (Mt. 24 v 38, 1 Cor. 3 v 12-19). In a cashless society you will not control your money; the money rulers will treat it as theirs and use it to control you (Rev. 13 v 16-18, 14 v 9-12).

In reality the love of pleasure and money are unsatisfying. Life is full of attractive offers that leave you wanting more. They lure you into a blind alley where fear will rob the hopeless of the love, joy and peace they crave for (Mt. 4 v 8-9, 1 Tim. 6 v 6-9).

Many Christian denominations today are supported by money attracted professional ministers and charitable giving is seen as a way of earning God’s favour (Gen. 4 v 5, 1 Sam. 15 v 22-23, Rev. 3 v 16-19). Like Adam they want to rule Christ’s kingdom on earth as if it were theirs (Mt. 21 v 33-45). They pray ‘my will be done in heaven as it is on earth’.

They love their self-centred life more than Jesus (Lk. 9 v 23-26). They have lost their fear of their imminent judgement (Lk. 12 v 37-47, 1 Pt. 4 v 16-17, 2 Pt. 3 v 1-10). They are meant to show the lost what it means to be redeemed but they see them for what they are: compromising, hypocrites (Ezra 8 v 22-23, 9 v 1-15, Mt. 21-27, Lk. 18 v 8-14, Rev. 2 & 3).

Instead of offering them the promise of a new life (1 Tim. 3 v 1-5, 4 v 1-8) many churches now preach Satan’s self-saving and perfecting gospel that is based on a lie:  (Gen. 3 v 4-6). “Forget what God has said; it is not true. Do whatever you think is good and you will not die but discover you are a free, god-like spirit (as your own god like me: Is. 14 v 12-15, Ezk. 28 v 13-19)! ”The woman liked the idea of doing whatever she felt was good for her and persuade her husband to obey her spirit instead of God’s (1 Cor. 11 v 10, 1 Tim. 2 v 12, 2 Tim. 3 v 5).

Immediately he did so Adam knew he had lost his God sustained life. The fact that without the Father’s provision (Mt. 6 v 19-33) all his descendant’s will be destitute forever is too sad to contemplate (Jas. 1 v 5-12, 4 v 3-10).

You cannot be saved if you maintain your independent life. It would seem that about half of those who want to be just friends with God wake up to this fact too late (Mt. 25 v 2). Only those who believe and bow to Christ as their Lord and Saviour are his (1 Cor. 10 v 1-12, 15 v 23, Heb. 4 v 1-2, 11 v 6).

The only man who knows the Father and came to earth to reveal His will to us is Jesus. The only man to love us enough to die in Adam and his children’s place and overcome the power of death is Jesus (Rom. 10 v 8-13). Only what he says about life after death is beyond question. Those who have faith in a guess or a lie are fools.

All who do not want to know their Saviour personally before they die (Lk. 21 v 8-19) seek an alternative priesthood or intermediary to save them (Mt. 3 v 1-10). That respite is short lived: the Levitical priesthood had to offer daily sacrifices to cover their own sin against God (1 Cor. 10 v 2-15, Gal. 2 v 16-21).

Like the High Priest and temple lawyers (Jn. 11 v 47-53, 12 v 10-11, 42-43) such dying fools think they will still live happily ever after if they play lip service to Jesus (Jas.4). They do not seek to know and obey him as their Lord. They think just believing Jesus is Lord is enough (Jas. 2 v 19)!

Many professing Christians use God’s words to discredit Jesus. They think that if they prove Him wrong (1 Jn. 1 v 9-10) with a show of good deeds and obeying laws He will repent (Rom. 7 & 8, Gal. 3 v 10-12, Col. 2 v 8)! They want God to bless their independent lives (Rev. 3 v 15-20)! They seek righteousness independent of Christ based on self-improvement so they only managed hypocrisy (Lk. 18 v 11-14).

Matriarchs and feminists who want to be independent of immature men do not want equality with men but want men to be as women. They worship god the mother or mother-nature as source of all life and dismiss God the Father as disinterested in all but Himself. God gives them over to their seductive ways in order that their sin cannot be hidden so that they might repent and be overwhelmed by His love (Jn. 8 v 3-11, Rom. 1 v 21-25).

It is impossible to become righteous by trying to obey the law that only condemns the unrighteous (Mt. 5 v 20, Gal. 3 v 10-29). Without gaining a new life based on grace though faith in God’s works (Rom. 9 v 31-33) you cannot be reunited with the holy life of The Father (Rom. 10 v 8-13, 11 v 6, Heb. 4 v 1-16) and be gifted Jesus’ righteousness (Rom. 10 v 8-13, 11 v 6, Heb. 4 v 1-16).

Jesus’ humanity had no sin but he was punished and died for our sin: those who turn out of love for him are made righteous by his sacrifice (Is. 53 v 3-12) in the sight of God our Father (Lk. 23 v 41-43, Jn. 8 v 7-11, 20 v 11-16). Those who love God and love others as they are loved are as sinless (Mt. 10 v 39-42, Mk. 9 v 37-42, Lk. 10 v 25-28, 1 Jn. 3 v 3-6). Self-survivalist’s cannot afford to be so open hearted (1 Jn. 4 v 5-12) but the God sustained can.

Being baptise in water is something you do if you desire a new life guided by Christ Holy Spirit. Your reformation depends on seeking and obeying his word (Neh. 9 v 1-20). That faith is first tested then the change follows (Lk. 3 v 16-17, Heb. 4 v 6-16, 11 v 1, 6).

He judges a person’s heart to see if is compatible with His love and revealed will (1 Sam. 16 v 7, Ps. 7 v 9-12, Mt. 12 v 34-42). Those who trust in Jesus find their freedom from bondage to sin starts now. One day they will lose the carnal body they inherited from Adam and reach sinless perfection on the day they gain a gain a new body inherited from Jesus as God’s second Adam (1 Cor. 1 v 4-9, Php. 1 v 6-10).

Carnal people think their physical life defines who they are but their outward show and possessions are just the screen they hide behind (Gen. 3 v 8-11). They have either dreamt-up eternal aspirations or think death is just an eternal rest. Unless they repent of their existential unrealism before they die they will wake up unclothed, in hell (Lk. 16 v 23-31, 23 v 39-43).

Some do not like their body and want to remodel it but it does not make them better or happy. Severely handicapped people who accept they are not their body can overcome its restrictions to the extent that others also see them and not their body.

Your body is not yours to do what you like with (Rom. 6 v 12-13, 1 Cor. 6 v 9-18): it is just the temporary ‘digs’ you lease in while on earth (1 Cor. 15 v 53-54). It is a one use, disposable vehicle. When it is neglected, damaged or poisoned with recreational substances it malfunctions and it switches off. The unredeemed then become homeless (2 Cor. 5 v 1-17).

It can be maintained like a machine by a life support machine long after you have left. When you lose your physical senses you lose consciousness of this world and your freedom to move. All you have invested in this life is left behind (Mt. 6 v 19-24, 1 Cor. 3 v 11-15). All self-centred people have no viable future (Lk. 16 v 19-22, 19 v 2-10).

This life is just the schooling for the next. It should be viewed as a journey: as an adventure with obstacles. It requires perseverance but there are some school holidays. It is only when you accept God’s love and forgiveness can you start to find peace within your soul (Jn. 14 v 23-27, Php. 4 v 4-7).

We may receive assurances from God’s words and gifts of faith from His Holy Spirit on earth but there is no way that fallible creatures like us could ever feel at home with an almighty, infinite, holy and perfect God. What is impossible with men is not impossible to God (Lk. 18 v 27).

The Father sent His visible person to live with us (Jn. 3 v 15-21) on earth as a man to make it possible. To prove His words are true He revealed His plan to save and justify those who trusted in His love centuries before it was fulfilled (Is. 42 v 8-9, 44 v 24-28, 53 v 3-12, Lk. 24 v 44).

Jesus is the visible person of the infinite Father (Col. 1 v 15-19). He came into our tarnished kingdom and suffered rejection and terrible pain and then physically died so we might enjoy the reality of his kingdom (Php. 2 v 5-11). He is the doorway from death into eternal life (Jn. 10 v 9-18). He makes those who are not perfect as perfect and holy in the Father’s sight (Mt. 5 v 44-48).

The Father’s plan in sending Jesus to earth as a human was to enable humans to become part of the Godhead as His sons (Jn. 14 v 1-4, 23-29, 17 v 11, 20-24). At this time this is hard to comprehend yet this is why Jesus suffered death in our place which is also too great to fathom (Heb, 2 v 5-18). He not only shields us from God’s holiness on earth but does so forever (Heb. 4 v 13-16, 5 v 6, 7 v 21-25).

There is no way that fallible creatures like us could ever feel at home with an almighty, infinite, holy and perfect God yet His entity came to live with us (Jn. 3 v 15-21) to make it possible. Jesus not only shields us from God’s holiness on earth but does so forever (Heb. 4 v 13-16, 5 v 6, 7 v 21-25). He makes those who are not perfect as perfect as the Father and holy in His sight (Mt. 5 v 44-48).

Barrie’s Peter Pan though to die would be a great adventure but it might be hell. Like the verse a wife wrote on her husband’s tombstone “…to follow you I’m not content how do I know which way you went?” Only God’s plan for us to live in heaven is the greatest of adventures.

The only person who can tell us what happens to those who die without the Father’s life (Mt. 27 v 50) is Jesus. He is very good and never bad but when he cut himself off from God’s life (Lk. 23 v 37-46) his humanity died and he went to Hades and joined those who rested in hope (Job. 19 v 25-27). Except he was the one they hoped for.

Because he was sinless it could not hold him (Ps. 16 v 8-11, Jn. 10 v 17-18). He took authority over Satan’s realm (1 Pt. 3 v 18-22) then left with all those from Abel to the criminal on the cross who accepted him as their promised Redeemer (Lk. 23 v 39-43, Rom. 10 v 6-13, Eph. 4 v 7-10, Rev. 1 v 5-18).

Some Christian thinkers cannot accept the idea of God allowing the godless to spend eternity in torment in Hades (Mt. 18 v 6-8). They think all believers in God should go to heaven but they forget Satan believes in God (Jas. 2 v 17-19, 2 Pt. 2 v 10-21). They may accept that very evil people should go to hell but the millions who reject the conviction of God’s Spirit are not very good or too bad. Surely they will just be obliterated?

This evil heresy encourages the self-pleasing to live for pleasure and use euthanasia to ease their end but a bankrupt eternity awaits them (Mt. 6 v 19 v 24, Lk. 10 v 10-15, 16 v 19-26, Jas. 2 v 1-13). When they die they will remain joined to the powerless spirits they trusted (Is. 14 v 9-17, Mt. 7 v 18-27, 12 v 43-45).

Without their body their soul will be tormented forever (Lk. 16 v 22-29). Only those who trust in God’s promised Saviour will inherit a new body like his (Job. 19 v 25-27, 1 Cor. 15 v 44-53, Php. 1 v 20-23).

The lives of the self-centred are not wrought in God (Jn. 3 v 10-21, Gal. 3 v 10-14, Col. 2 v 8-22). They do good works for self-serving reasons (Jer. 17 v 7-18, Mt. 7 v 21-23, Jn. 12 v 6-11, 1 Cor. 11 v 31-32). They have futile, dying lives yet say blind faith in God the Father the creator of everything is just a placebo.

The fact that they attack His teaching and their self survival is at the cost of others proves they know they are guilty of sinning against men and God (Gal. 3 v 22-27, 1 Jn. 1 v 7-10). They carry their guilt hidden in their hearts. It is like a millstone around their necks (Mt. 18 v 3-8).

Such god-like egocentrics, like Aristotle, impress the worldly with their Gnostic wisdom as opposed to physical facts. The fact that his misinformation prevented scientific progress for over 2000 years is ignored. From Aquinas to Darwin to Freud and existentialism, our society is founded on half-truths based on fake wisdom sought from their spirit guides.

Newton explored occult based alchemy and astrology but found it was a dead end. He turned to studying the Bible and started to make revolutionary breakthroughs in mathematics, science, mechanics and astronomy.

Today’s theories and unified states are falling apart because they interpret the facts to suit the presupposition that a creator God is a myth. Instead they believe in the impossible fairy story that once upon a time long, long ago the universe miraculously made itself out of nothing.

At best their random model would only produce an infinite amount of failures. The inter-related, mathematical laws that govern the universe must have been formulated before any material could be created by someone out of some thing that pre-existed space-time.

All physical beings are predestined to die. We live in an entropic universe. It had a beginning and it will decline into a dark, hot, dissipated torpor. Life could not have evolved by accident as a soup of microbes but it could end up as one. This is a scientific fact that politically correct scientists don’t like. Chaotic Nature could never have accidentally produced self-perfecting life forms.

In fact we spend our lives trying to stop nature killing us yet neglect seeking God’s promised gift of a new life. Spiritually corrupted people who defy God’s will and words will have no riches in heaven (Lk. 12 v 16-34) and suffer deprivation for ever.

The mad idea that life is an incredible accident gives the godless the excuse that they can do what they like (Gen. 11 v 6) as if they are their own hopeless gods. This causes lawlessness so laws have to be imposed to restrain the wilful based on what their society will tolerate. They are not all adhered to by other societies so the planet is in a constant state of disunity that breeds wars. Racism occurs wherever they coexist.

Hegel though a superior race with unified aims should rule the world but one set of laws is imposed on all by one philosopher, who all other philosophers disagree with, oppresses people and disunity is aggravated. Only an Almighty God who has no fear for self-survival, greed or bias and is all knowing can produce a set of laws that if adhered to are fair to all (Deut. 4 v 6-13). Who is He? Why does He care about us? 

It is very clear that the laws God gave to Moses (Ex. 31 v 18) are very good. Only under His laws are the innocent protected from evil and can peace be established throughout the Earth (Is. 65 v 17-25). They are not accepted at present because they make everyone feel guilty (Rom. 3 v 10-20). They prove that all have Adam’s (the first man) selfish, wilful sin in their hearts (Mt. 15 v 2-20, Rom. 7 v 19-24, Gal. 3 v 10- 29, Col. 2 v 20-23).

If you break any law you become a law breaker so self-righteous legalists change the law to allow them to break God’s laws (Mt. 15 v 4-9, 23 v 23). The innocent who expose their hypocrisy (Lk. 23 v 13-25) are arrested but the lawbreakers who they sympathise with are released. They corrupt their own law and their law enforcers (Mt. 21 v 23-27, 32-46, 26 v 3-4, 27 v 54, 28 v 11-15, Jn. 7 v 44-51, 8 v 43-47, 12 v 9-11, Acts 5 v 16-29).

If there is no Creator or life after death then we are just part of a miraculously balance ecosystem in which the superior live off the poorer. That system is far superior to anything we could conjure up so we question it, our own and the universe’s origins. Socrates questioned God’s and man’s existence but his spirit guide just gave him more questions so he fell down the gap between faith and logic.

Plato was very superior and Aristotle tried to become a godlike one or superman. The superior believe they are predestined to be gods. They treat others as less than animals yet they are addicted to self-destructive carnal sins (Rom. 7 v 24, Col. 2 v 18-23). The idea of salvation by self-perfection, as taught by many man promoted religions, is based on Satan’s gospel (Gen. 3 v 3-11).

Only those who acknowledge that only the Holy Spirt of God is holy will be cleansed of their sin nature by the Father’s promised substitute who has died in their place (Jn. 1 v 29-34, 1 Jn. 4 v 1-6). Those who appear to be spiritual and sinless are hypocrites (Lk. 12 v 1-10, Jude 12-19).

Aristotle taught Alexander to believe he was a god. He conquered half the known world, killed about a million people and died from drinking too much at the age of 33. Hitler was also revered as a god; he killed himself at the age of 56. Those who climb Darwin’s ultra-racist, evolutionary pyramid are not as gods but like animals in a food chain.

Schopenhauer declared that self-perfection was impossible so those who persist with this miserable nonsense have no excuse (Rom. 1). As preached by Nietzsche; wilful, dominant, godless god-men, inspired by their evil alter ego (1 Jn. 3 v 12-15), tread down others then self-destruct.

Atheists are condemned by the very gurus they approve of. Those who reject the perfect will of the God of life and love are automatically ruled by a spirit of disorder, fear and death (Rom. 7 v 24, Heb. 2 v 15).

God’s, infinite, Holy Spirit is the source of all power and life. Only the humble who know without Him they are nothing can be joined to his holy life. Alternative Gnostic holy spirits are parasites who only degrade life. Superior, spiritual people who commune with their inner spirit see Jesus as just one of many prophets.

Satan tried to coerce Jesus into disobeying the Holy Spirit (Mt. 4 v 4, 7, 10). Even today Satan has corrupted life on earth in order to make God intervene but those who are more than conquerors rest in the fact that His victory is inevitable (Heb. 10 v 12–13). Only God’s holy will cannot be thwarted, so we too must enter, by faith in Him into His

We are weak vulnerable creatures who live in constant fear for survival. However when united with God we are more than conquerors. We will have tests and tribulation that test our faith but also prove our Father is faithful. Those who trust in Jesus’ love learn to be more than conquerors (Rom. 8 v 4-11) by being one with his will through obedience to his guiding Holy Spirit.

God the Father gave the first man, Adam, authority over an independent, temporal domain in the hope that he would choose to live with Him in His domain forever (Lk. 15 v 6, 21-24). His plan is to teach humans to be one with His will so that they could be raised as His children to rule over all His present and future creations.

He knew that this covenant relationship (Gen. 2 v 15-17) could not endure forever but He had planned for this so that a new covenant could be made that would be eternally secure. The cost to His being however was so great that Satan did not even consider it as a possibility.

That cost proves beyond any doubt that a work the Holy Spirit has started in you will be completed on the Day of Jesus Christ (Php. 1 v 5-6). The completed Church of rescued believers is the fulfilment of the Father’s investment in the whole of creation. The Rapture marks the Harvest He has reaped from sowing Jesus into the earth and the complete defeat of Satan’s opposition.

Like young Solomon (2 Chr. 1 v 10, 7 v 19-22) Adam’s knowledge was basic. He needed God’s advice to survive and mature and His power to control his environment (Gen. 2 v 9). He was warned that if he sought to do things on his own he would not survive (Gen. 2 v 17). Only those who turn back to seeking God’s help and advice will be saved.

Adam only had his physical strength (Gen. 3 v 19) so God made a host of powerful spirit beings help him (Mt. 4 v 11, Heb. 1 v 14). The most powerful and magnificent of the army of created spirits, called Lucifer was first in rank below the Father’s visible person (Col. 1 v 15-19). It rebelled against having to serving such a pathetic creature as a man.

It thought it should rule creation (Is. 14 v 11-17) so it bargained with one third of the other spirits for principalities and authorities in man’s God-given independent kingdom on earth (Ezk. 28 v 15-18, Col. 2 v 8-10). It became Satan; man’s adversary and God’s enemy (Mt. 13 v 28).

It trapped God’s simple man into thinking God’s will was wrong and self-will, as advise by false friendly spirits instead of God’s Spirit, was good (Gen. 2 v 16-17). Directly our forefather used his free will to disagree with God we all become separated from His perfect will (Gen. 2 v 17, Rom. 3 v 9-20) and guided by an alternative guiding spirit (alter ego) who deceives and robs us of life (Gen. 3 v 22-24).

Rebellion against God’s teaching is the origin of sin and guilt (Heb. 3 v 7). None of our religious efforts at doing what we feel is good can undo the change of state brought about by that rejection of having a God centred life (Gen. 2 v 9, 16-17, 3 v 2-8). The only way back is through being born again (Jn. 3 v 3, 15-20) through His promised new or Second Adam (Gen. 3 v 14-15, Job 19 v 25-27).

Before this Adam was not self and sin conscious (Gen. 2 v 25). The Father treated him as His child (Heb.12 v 2-15). Our life on earth is meant to be the Holy Spirit’s boarding school for the Father’s infant sons (Gal. 3 v 22-29, 4 v 1-7). We are meant to rest in the confidence that if God has started a work in us we know He has accepted us as His child and so He will complete it (Php. 1 v 6, Heb. 4 v 1-2, 9-16, 6 v 9-12).

Those who return to seeking God’s ways are not perfect but they no longer reject His will and so become a work in progress (Heb. 4 v 13-16, 12 v 23-25, 1 Jn. 3 v 2-12). When His Spirit has completed their training they will be commissioned and revealed to the world as sons of God (Mt. 3 v 16-17, Acts 1 v 8, 2 v 1-21, Heb. 6 v 13 v 20).

Their mortal body was made of earth for a life on earth. It is predestined to die. Those who are joined to Jesus’ life and live in his home will inherit a body like his that is suited to a life in God’s heaven (1 Cor. 15 v 47-52).

God made man as the Lord of his environment, to live by faith in His guidance (Lk. 4 v 4). He was not made to be single and is only fulfilled and complete in a loving relationship with a soul mate. Outside of God’s love no one can afford to love and give to others (Mt. 10 v 39-42). The self-centred become isolated because they destroy the happiness their soul craves. Without God’s eternal prospect this life is pointless and hopeless.

Satan has frustrated God’s blessed order by making men self-centred and abusive. Instead of ruling over the earth men have become slaves to their environment. They fight against it to survive until their power fades and it kills them (Gen. 3 v 17-19). They are defeated by the dictates of their flesh (Rom. 7 v 22-24) and plagued by deceiving spirits (Rom. 1 v 19-32).

Those who do not resist them but succumb to self-destructive excesses become host to a demon by abandoning their self-control and blanking their senses with repetitive sounds, chant, wild dancing plus mind altering drinks and drugs in darkened places with pulsating lights.

While Adam was sustained by The Father’s infinite resources his life was perfect (Gen. 1 v 31, Is. 65 v 19-25, Rom. 8 v 18-24, Rev. 20 v 1-4). Then he decided to manage his domain without God’s help based on Satan’s advice (Gen. 5 v 3, 11 v 11, 25 v 7, Josh. 24 v 29). Life has been devolving ever since. Our climate, that was so well balanced that some think it created us, is now set to destroy us (Rom. 8 v 20-25).

The fossil record records the sudden death of whole, fully formed animals that were larger and able to survive for longer than their remaining, more specialised, descendants. Life on earth has suffered a series of mass extinction events and the demise of the last 5% of species is accelerating. Evolutionist are desperately trying to stop the poorer, surviving species from devolving into a soup of microbes.

Satan replaced God’s support with a pyramidal order of angelic powers (2 Cor. 10 v 3-5, Eph. 6 v 11-13). They are sustained by the lower orders of humans in which the dominant, self-willed minority are used to establish a futile heaven on earth. The free will of majority below them is controlled so that they become robotic. Millions of them are destroyed and replaced by robots.

Whatever system of government is tolerated (democratic, socialist, communist or dictatorship) mankind’s Babel-based order is unsustainable. It is bound to become bankrupt and collapse into chaos.

We are cut off from God’s life and predestined to die (Heb. 9 v 27). Even our best efforts are bound to fall short of God’s will. So is Satan cleverer than God (Is. 14 v 12-17, Mt. 4 v 1-11) or is it just a player in His plan to fill His home with us as His children? Jesus has already defeated it (1 Cor. 15 v 54-55, Col. 2 v 8-19). The redeemed when given authority from Jesus can restrain and bind Satan’s best efforts (Lk. 10 v 17-24, 2 Thess. 2 v 6-12).

Satan’s plan to fool Adam into making it his lord (Lk. 4 v 5-6) worked because Woman did not die (Gen. 2 v 17, 3 v 3-4). She had not disobeyed God’s instruction but her husband’s (Gen. 2 v 16, 21-23). Satan failed to grasp the full implications of God’s order (1 Cor. 2 v 7-8, Col. 2 v 14-19). In the very act of launching its rebellion it had sealed its defeat. God even warned Satan how it would happen!

Genesis 3 v 14 should read:  …… you will be made lower than a wild beast (Is. 14 v 10); what has flowed from your womb (you conceived and have given birth to) from now on will be as ashes in your mouth (Ezk. 28 v 18) for a new Adam will be born of a woman who will oppose what you have given birth to. When you try to stop him he will turn and crush your bid to become the head of all God’s creation (Is. 14 v 13-14).

Job only had this scripture handed down from his great grandfather Abraham yet he clearly understood its picture words (Job. 19 v 25-27). Our word for word translations have turned it into a Just So story of how the snake lost its legs!

As her lord and protector Adam had the authority to annul her error of judgement (Num. 30 v 3-8). He should have been her saviour for without her his life was barren. Instead he acted out of the selfish desire to be his own god. He obeyed her instead of God, lost his dominion and blamed her for it. When men take responsibility for their sin against the Father and cry to Him for forgiveness He will embrace them and breathe His abundant life into them again (Ps. 61 v 1-8, Lk. 15 v 18-24).

Even today men still blame their women for their failures (Gen. 3 v 11-13). 1 Timothy 2 v 12-15 should read: Woman was formed from Adam before he sinned. He was not deceived but she was. She shared in her husband’s death (Gen. 3 v 6-7) but nevertheless she passed on Adam’s pre-fall life (directly from woman to woman to Mary: Lk. 1 v 35-56) through her still God-related nucleus of life (Gen. 3 v 20, Rev. 12 v 4-5). So women should rest securely in God’s love and faith with an untroubled mind. Women are saved by faith in the new man born of a woman (Heb. 1 v 6, 2 v 6-18, 5 v 7), not by childbearing.

A new sinless Adam would be conceived by a woman by God’s Spirit (Gen. 2 v 7) who would be fully human and fully related to the Father (Php. 2 v 5-16). In the very act of taking authority over the life of God’s new, sinless man (Lk. 4 v 5-8). Satan’s authority was crushed! It knew a sinless man could not suffer God’s judgement of death (Gen. 2 v 17). It was impossible to imagine that God’s visible person, even as the Son of Man, could ever be separated from his Holy Spirit and his Father.

From all that Jesus has made and done we see he must be very wonderful (Rom. 1 v 19-26, Col. 1 v 12-23). To be loving the infinite God must have always had the capacity to love so He cannot be a terrifying tyrant. He must have at least three personalities for love to flow within His being (Lk. 3 v 16-17, 21-22). Surely the love that flows within God’s being could never be interrupted?

The triune character of God can be grasp in terms of an earthly king. Someone can say they know, a head of state because they are of his family or a personal friend. You could also say you know him, even if you had never met him but had seen his image in public in the media. You would know how he spoke, how he looked, dressed, smiled, walked and gestured.

You could also come into contact with him, or know of him as a person, without any personal knowledge of him in the first two forms, in a more abstract way, through his works; the power, control, influence and inspiration that his existence has on many situations simultaneously. The royal we is the person plus the state.

One king acts in 3 quite different forms. Similarly we relate to God according to how well we know Him; privately as the Father, visibly and tangibly as the Son and inspirationally as the universal Holy Spirit (Is. 48 v 16-22, Jn. 14 v 19-26).

The fools who rebel against Him will suffer His wrath (Ps. 2, 1 Pt. 2 v 7-8). In an effort to reduce their guilt the self-determined cover up the evil that is hidden in their hearts and so they live in fear of judgement and death (Rom. 2 v 3-6, 3 v 10-28).

Those who repent and accept the Lamb of God has died for their sin are set free from their sin and death ruled nature (Rom. 7). They are protected from His wrath and trained by His Spirit as His children (Ex. 9 v 4, 1 Thess. 5 v 8-10, Gal. 5 v 18-25, Heb. 12 v 1-15).

They are eternally justified by Jesus’ sacrifice, born again as sons of the infinite Father by the power of His Spirit and receive his guidance in obedience to the risen Jesus as their Lord and mentor (Mt. 7 v 7-11, Heb. 11 v 6). They start a new life based on faith in God’s words (Mt. 15-24).

When a people draw near to Him they have feast-days of heaven on earth (Joel 2 v 26-29). The Lord God communicated with His chosen people via His prophets through visions or dreams but Moses knew Him personally (Num. 12 v 6-8). When all His children are filled with His life they will all know Him face to face (Joel 2 v 28-29, 1 Cor. 13 v 12).

You cannot relate to one member of the Trinity without involving the others (Jn. 14 v 23-26, Rev. 3 v 5-6, 20-22). There are not three Gods to pray to. “The Lord your God is one Lord: and you shall love the Lord thy God with all your heart (Father), and with all your mind (Son) and with all your power (Spirit: Deut. 6 v 4-5).

We were created by the Father to be vessels filled with His love (Gen. 2 v 7, Col. 2 v 8-10). Any creature who did not have an all-consuming love for Him would not be able to relate to Him and abide His presence for eternity (Gen. 3 v 8, 1 Jn. 4 v 15-18, Rev. 6 v 16).

Those who hate Him try to fill this inner longing with temporal pleasures that leave them eternally tormented (Lk. 16 v 22-31, Jn.14 v 27, 15 v 17-25). They become perverse and self-condemned (Rom. 1 v 27-32). As Schopenhauer deduced, without our Father’s purpose and input this life is a meaningless disappointment even for those who gain all this world has to offer (Ezra 8 v 22, Rom. 8 v 28).

There is no other name besides Jesus by which you can be saved from hell (Acts 4 v 12, 16 v 30-32). Many, like Adam, put their trust in false holy spirits and evil gods to enrich and save them (1 Jn. 4 v 1-3, 12-1). By their bitter fruits you may know them (Mt. 7 v 15-20, Gal. 5 v 22).

For the Father to have children to share in His life the triune God had to open. Jesus dismissed the Holy Spirit, became just fully human and accepted death in place of all who also put God’s will before their selfish will (Lk. 11 v 2, 22 v 41-43). Satan screamed: it had invited the King of Kings into its realm of death (1 Pt. 3 v 18-22). He took authority over it then gave that authority to men (Lk. 10 v 19, Jn. 20 v 23, Eph. 4 v 7-8, 21-32).

Jesus then called on the Holy Spirit to rescue him. All those in death who believed God’s promise of a Saviour were identical with him in death. When he left they also rose with his life and were presented to the Father with him as the first fruits of the saved.

The Father’s plan is to lift humans by His Holy Spirit above all His creation, including the angels, as co-rulers with His visible person (Col. 1 v 9-19, 2 v 8-15, Jude 9). Satan attacks all God’s precepts but especially marriage because it is the basis of man’s union with Christ (Gen. 2 v 20-24, 1 Cor. 11 v 8-11).

The life-long oneness of marriage is destroyed by adultery which includes all other sexual unions before and after marriage. You cannot fully realise your union with Christ (1 Cor. 6 v 9-20, Gal. 5 v 19-21, Rev. 14 v 4-5) and experience union with God’s nature while your Adamic nature, that is spiritually allied with Satan, is still alive (Rom. 6 v 3-17, 7 v 1-6, 24 v 25, 8 v 4-8, 13, 1 Thess. 4 v 3-8).

Every believer is only physically unified with Christ after the death of their Adamic nature (Ezk. 18 v 20-24). Those who identify their sin nature with Jesus’ human nature in death (Mt. 3 v 10-12, Acts 2 v 37-40) while still alive, once tested as genuine, are given his life by a gift of faith (Rom. 5 v 15, Eph. 2 v 8-8, Heb. 11 v 1, 6). They receive his Holy Spirit as an ‘engagement ring’ (Rom. 4 v 21, Eph. 1 v 13-14, 1 Jn. 4 v 1-2, 6-21). His work is to cleanse Jesus’ bride of their love of the things of this world (Jn. 16 v 7-11, Eph. 5 v 3-12, 1 Jn. 1 v 9).

Those still alive on earth on the Day of Jesus Christ (Rom. 11 v 25, 12 v 1-2, Php. 1 v 6-10, 1 Pt. 1 v 3-13), when he calls to collect his completed bride (Mt. 25 v 5-6, Lk. 13 v 23-30, Jn. 14 v 22-24), will not experience the state of death. In a fraction of a second they go from the death of the old into life in the new (1 Cor. 15 v 50-57, 1 Thess. 4 v 14-16).

Only those who are ready (Eph. 5 v 22-33) to leave this life behind will leave with him (1 Jn. 2 v 15-28). You may know your sins are forgiven but if you are still in love with this world you will not want to leave it (2 Cor. 5 v 6). If you love money you will not also love God (Mt. 6 v 24, 1 Tim. 6 v 10-14). His test of our love of God instead of self is simple (1 Jn. 4 v 11-21). All He expects of humans is to admit their frailty and seek His will (Micah 6 v 3-16). He will do the rest (1 Jn. 4 v 9-20).

What must we do to be ready? The Holy Spirit is going to do the challenging and changing so all we must do is not resist him (Eph. 4 v 30). We must be ready to put off the old nature or we will hesitate at the last minute and turn back (1 Kg. 19 v 19-21, Mt. 25 v 8-13). Human therapies that make this life feel a bit better do the reverse.

This world is going to be ruled by evil people who are worse than the Gestapo (2 Tim. 4 v 1-18, 1 Jn. 3 v 10-16) so it will not be that difficult to die to this world when the Lord calls for us. There is a great urgency to be ready (1 Thess. 1 v 10, 3 v 3, Jas. 5 v 1-8, 2 Pt. 3 v 3-9, 1 Jn. 2 v 18-28): the food shortages have started (Deut. 28 v 15-48, Rev. 6 v 6-17).

A good king serves to protect others from the will of evil doers. Jehoshaphat (1 Chr. 20 v 6) cried to his King in heaven for protection against a vast army of all his enemies. He went out to war with an army of men singing God’s praises ahead of him, so God wiped-out his enemies ahead of him. His faith was rewarded with vast hoard of booty.

Those who trust their lives to God’s second Adam know he gave his life to save them from eternal death (Gen. 3 v 15, 4 v 4, Num. 30 v 2-9, Gal. 3 v 22-24). A lord that has lost its eternal life and is fighting for self-survival will sacrifice them to save himself (Gen. 3 v 12, 17-17).

Those who corrupt and debase the Lord’s words (1 Pt. 4 v 16-18, Rev. 2 & 3) are not blessed or protected by him. Not understanding the full implications of God’s order leads to everyone doing whatever they think is right (Gen. 11 v 6). The chaos that ensues is the cause of mankind’s failure.

A society that breaks all the maker’s rules knows it will end in disaster (Deut. 28 v 25-48). Undisciplined children are taught to disrespect men and all authority (Rom. 1 v 25-32). Marriage is trashed, casual sexual unions are encouraged and pornography and the murder of unborn babies accepted as harmless. Such unhealthy disease transmitting, self-harming life styles result in dire mental and spirit disturbed states.

Man-made climate disasters, floods, droughts, famines, plagues, murder and war are already here. Transport, provisions, health, housing, debt and economies are all in crisis. Massive earthquakes and volcanism and meteors impacts expected (Rev. 8 & 9).

Independent egoists who exchange God’s truth for a lie cannot fulfil God’s law of love. (Gen. 3 v 12, 2 Cor. 11 v 12-15). Today many self-pleasing religious people with a self-preferred god follow Satan’s carnal gospel of do whatever you feel is good (Gen. 3 v 4-7).

As an indulgent god the mother it encourages women to ignore God’s order and do what they like (Num. 30 v 9, 1 Cor. 11 v 8-11). Churches that act like a matriarch teach their children to obey her instead of him (Est.1 v 15-18, 7 v 3-5, 1 Cor. 2 v 11-16, Php. 3 v 9-15).

People who try to enforce their will worship and obey Satan as the lord over the earth. If they use threats and curses to make people obey them they are employing witchcraft (1 Sam. 14 v 24, 15 v 22-23).

Our world is blasted by the mass media with fears about extinction by forces that we cannot prevent in order to create a crisis so a tyrannical war lord can take over as the mock saviour of the world. Cowered people (Gen. 3 v 17-19) are ruled through their fear of death so they bow to and try to appease their evil lord.

Where unruly nature is worshipped as the creator of life, animal life is treated as equal with human life and brain softened pot-smokers bow down to trees, Satan can boast it can do whatever it likes with God’s pathetic creatures. Paganism automatically involves doing evil (Job 1 v 7, Mt. 4 v 9, Heb. 2 v 5).

Egoist who talk about building a kingdom of heaven on earth promote Satan’s megalomania (Is. 14 v 13-17). They use pressure groups to impose their will in order to rob the majority of their free will. Schools are already enforcing their opinions on infants and teachers.

The police attack personal freedoms instead of upholding them. Legalists, who tolerate criminal cultures, arrest and ruin the lives of the law abiding who dare to publicly use their freedom of speech to speak the truth (Jn. 12 v 9-11, Acts 4 v 8-17).

Those with purposeless lives and no understanding of God’s ways who remain passive will wake up to find they cannot travel, earn, buy food or fuel and wash and dress without the permission of the tyrannical lord at the top of its pyramidal food chain.

Our problem is we all have opinions, habits and bad attitudes that are a part of our inherited self-justifying nature. Pain and dying can mellow them but no humility or asceticism can give you a new nature (Jn. 3 v 3, 16 v 21, Col. 2 v 8-23).

Men and women have a completely different outlooks on life: without God’s foundational order of love every relationship, including marriage becomes a battle ground. Our translation of 1 Corinthians 14 v 30-37 should say; …. Be orderly for God is not in confusion but is the author of peace. Let your women be self-controlled. They are only permitted to speak as God directs them …… If they have questions let them ask their husbands at home and not disrupt the whole meeting. Do you think you know everything? Are you the only ones to have a word from God? Anyone who believes and is led by God’s Spirit should know that what I write is in accordance with the Lord’s words and anyone who thinks differently is wrong. Do not stop people speaking in tongues but encourage them to speak out clear words inspired by the Holy Spirit in good order.

Directly the western nations turned away from God’s order their freedom became bound by endless laws and legalism. Enforced ideologies, religions, UN, EU rulings and the court of public opinion do not unify people but divide them. When the ‘land of the free’ allowed in immigrants who did not swear allegiance to a Christian based society unity was lost and each state started to act as an independent country.

The rights demanded by a minority make their situation worse for them and damages the rights of others. Separate states are formed within states. Lawlessness becomes common place so even the law abiding majority resort to lawless behaviour. The Police lose their moral compass. All become obsessed with life threatening disasters, lawless criminals, incompetent rulers and a fear of death.

Algorithms work for predictable machines but where they are used to predict unpredictable events as if as God with authority over life and death then the handicapped and other valueless people are incinerated. Evil flourishes unchecked and the ruthless kill anyone who opposes them. Finally the hopeless chaos drives even the cult leaders to kill themselves.

The poor and disadvantaged born into this world have a vital role to play: they insight love and compassion in otherwise self-centred people. I have an ugly clay pot that anyone else would throw away; except it was made by my departed handicapped son so to me it is very precious. Our Father in heaven sees all His children as precious. He sent His eternal Son to earth to die physically in our place so we might regain His eternal life.

Only He is big enough to know, love and save each, unique, precious individual (Mt. 10 v 30). Only He is just and true and able to judge and punish those who defy and attack His goodness (Rev. 5 & 60. The evil doers who harm His precious ones (Mt. 18 v 3-14) will suffer His eternal wrath.

Questions that are humbly addressed to God will be answered by Jesus via His Spirit (Jn. 14 v 15-19, Jas. 1 v 5-7). The godless however seek answers from their deceiving spirits (Jas. 4 v 3-10). Those who seek guidance from astrology, animal spirits, trees or inanimate objects, as with cards or divination are drawn into a deadly web.

Young people who are taught life is a meaningless accident have rebelled against it. Many hate authority, worship electronic machines for hours each day and mutilate their natural looks. They think they can change their sex and that it is alright to sacrifice their unborn children. Love is life giving but self-love is barren. Those hiding under the escapist’s blanket will die alone in the dark.

This dearth is encouraged by followers of Sigmund Freud who used drugs to make himself conscious of his alter ego or familiar spirit. The result is a deluge of psychotic young people who take drugs, are infiltrated by destructive spirits and are treated with mind altering drugs.

Those who want to be free to do what they please behave like unnatural animals (Rom. 7 v 24, 1 Cor. 3 v 1-3, 2 Pt. 3 v 3-10, Jude 6-10). They accept the selfish prompts of their guiding spirit (Gen. 2 v 16-17, Rom. 2 v 15, 8 v 5-9), ignore the warnings of their good conscience and excuse self of the bad consequence by blaming others (Jn. 15 v 18-25). 

Those born over the last 100 years with their bound and broken crosses could not be more lost. Their purposeless lives really do have no viable future. A person who is controlled by their alter ego or parasitic spirit can still exercise their free will if they want to (Lk. 8 v 27-28) but they will never be free of it.

Sayings like ‘once a junkie always a junkie’ are true of the unsaved who have hopeless lives. Directly a person cries to Their Father in heaven for help and surrenders his futile life to His love (2 Chr. 26 v 5) evil is halted and the disorder is reversed (Is. 59 v 29).

There is only one life giving Holy Spirit who speaks only the truth (Eph. 4 v 30-32, 1 Jn. 4 v 1-6). There is only one perfect new man who is descended from God. He was tested to the extreme limit obeyed his Father’s will unto death (Mt. 3 v 17, 4 v 10, 17 v 5, 27 v 46-54). His name is Jesus or Saviour. He has conquered death and defeated Satan’s rebellion and taken authority over it (1 Cor. 15 v 54-57). The saved need to be filled with his life by God’s Spirit and surrender their old ways to be cleansed by him (Lk. 11 v 20-26).

Jesus as an innocent man has died in the place of all who repent and want to turn back to accepting God’s will for their lives. As in sowing a seed, faith in him requires patience and dedication to blossom and produce the fruit of true love, joy and peace that our nature craves (Rom. 1 v 16-17).

Those baptised into Jesus death are raised with his life (Eph. 1 v 7-14, Col. 2 v 8-15). They are lifted by God’s Spirit with Jesus above Satan and all of God’s creation (Eph. 1 v 17-23). Demons have to obey those who Jesus gives his authority to use his name (Lk. 10 v 17-22, Acts 19 v 11-20).

The worldly rank the self elevated on their achievements based on their level of harm and hate. God’s ranking is not based on a show of good works but on love and honouring and serving His will (Mt. 24 v 45-51, 25 v 34-46). Those who have done great works in His name (Mt. 7 v 21-23, 1 Cor. 3 v 14-21) will be outranked in heaven by a simple soul who spent his and often her life serving others out of their belief in and love of God (Is. 57 v 15, 66 v 1-2, Mic. 6 v 8).

God sees the heart, not the outward religious observances (Lk. 18 v 11-17) nor man-approved goodworks (Lk. 21 v 1-4). God tests the heart of each individual daily in many little ways (Mt. 10 v 39-42). Only things that have eternal value it God’s sight will earn His approval.

Those who believe Satan’s gospel and try to justify and glorify their sin and death centred lives will retain it (Mt. 7 v 21-23, Lk. 13 v 27. They try to do good to prove they are nice and do not need to repent. They despise Jesus and hate those who prove them wrong (Gen. 4 v 4-8, Mt. 15 v 7-19, Jude 4-11, Rom. 1 v 18-32). By their fruits you will know them (Mt. 7 v 16-19, Gal. 5 v 14-26). They fear for self so they have no love, joy or peace.

A few become disillusioned with their separated, futile and meaningless, self-determined, lives before they crash. They finally turn to God for understanding. The genuine are answered promptly (Job 42 v 2-6, 8, Lk. 5 v 1-11, Jn. 1 v 48-49, Acts 10 v 30-31). They advance into His promised new life as they submit their self-centred ways to the prompts of His Holy Spirit.

All or nothing: there are no prenuptial agreements. Now you can understand why God sanctifies marriage and why Satan has replace the rule of love with Darwin’s aggressive self-survival. I know a couple who were in their third marriage and about to go through their third divorce when they realised love is the opposite of being self-centred (1 Cor. 13).

Seeking someone who pleases me is self love. It is as looking for happiness in a mirror instead of through a window into a new life (1 Cor. 13). We must change from being self-centred and saving to being Christ centred.

We have a desperate enemy (Eph. 6: all of it). We must stand fast in the liberty of being set free (Gal. 5 v 1, Col 2 v 18-19) and not allow Satan’s discouraging taunts to draw us back into our guilty, self-pleasing nature. We have an obligation to share this good news with everyone who is lost and heavy laden (2 Cor. 5 v 17-21. Eph. 2 v 16).

Our infinite Father loves us so much that He promised to send His visible person to be born of a virgin as a man to die in our place (Gen. 3 v 15, Job 19 v 25-27, Jn. 3 v 5-6, 15-19). The cost to His being could not have been greater.

Why does He care about us? He has given us free will so He wants us to freely respond to His love as His friends or even His children (Jn. 15 v 14-15, Rom. 8 v 14-16). Those who do not seek do not see what is within their reach (Mt. 13 v 10-16, 1 Cor. 2 v 4-16). The Apostles saw and experienced things that all who follow the same path as them will encounter (Jn. 14 v 6-12, Acts 4 v 20-21, 2 Pt. 1 v 15-18, 1 Jn. 1-4).

Jesus is the Lord of all life; not death (Heb. 4 v 9-16, Rev. 12 v 10). All who do accepted him by faith in His ‘marriage’ promise (Gen. 3 v 15, Acts 2 v 38-39, Col. 2 v 8-23, Heb. 2 v 6-15, Rom. 6 v 9-18, 8 v 10-18) take on his godly life instead of the cursed life they inherited from their first forefather. Even their enemies will recognise that they are blessed (Num. 23 v 19-23). Only our wilful desires can destroy our peace (2 Pt. 2 v 9-22).

The Father created everything only so that He could have us as His children (Jn. 3 v 16, Rom. 8 v 11-17, 1 Jn. 4 v 9-11). Those who relate to Him only through laws do not know Him and are not under the grace extended to His children (Mt. 17 v 25-26, Gal. 5 v 1-4, Heb. 12 v 5-15).

His Holy Spirit with unending patience and grace is preparing a people to rule with Jesus as future kings over all His creation (Mt. 24 v 45-51, 25 v 21-30). They are much better off than those who spend their lives seeking power, riches or fame that does not last (Ps. 17 v 13-15, Mt. 6 v 19-20, 16 v 15, 24-25, Lk. 12 v 48).

Those who trust in God’s promises are loved by Him and set free as His children to richly enjoy His unending spiritual blessings. They rest from their futile fight for self-survival (Gen. 32 v 7, 24-30, Heb. 4 v 13-20, 6 v 12). His children who abuse His grace (Rom. 6 v 6, 14-18, Heb. 4, 1 Jn. 2 v 11-17) are not aborted but come under His correction (Heb. 12 v 1-13).

This seems a bit too much for some to cope with especially if they are not so ambitious or brainy. In fact that is God’s required qualification (Mic. 6 v 6-8, 7 v 7-9, Acts 4 v 13-20, 2 Cor. 11 v 13-33): to be as open hearted as a child (Mk. 7 v 18-23, 10 v 14-16). Directly someone thinks they are cleaver they are easily ensnared (Rom. 1 v 21-22, 12 v 16, Php. 3 v 4-10).

Babes in Christ can taste and see how precious he is (Heb. 5 v 12-13, 6 v 4-6, 1 Pt. 2 v 2-7) but they must not stay on milk (Heb. 6 v 11-12). They need to feed off Jesus’ words to learn how to think, talk and walk like him (Jn. 6 v 32-33, 47-50, 62-65, 1 Cor. 2 v 1-16, 3 v 18-20).

Jesus’ love, authority and wisdom attracted thousands of ordinary people to stop work and follow him (Mt. 21 v 5-11, Acts 4 v 12-16). Only the self-important lovers of self hated him (Lk.19 v 46-48, Acts 4 v 8-14). As a man he was wonderful to be with but how will we ever feel at peace in the presence of God Almighty (1 Jn. 3 v 1-24, 4 v 6-21)?

Our risen, radiant Lord (Rev. 1 v 12-18) is as a man; not an angel (Jn. 21 v 13-16, Heb. 2 v 11-18). He has the same sinless body he had on earth (Mt. 14 v 25, 17 v 2-8, Jn. 20 v 26-29) that veiled his deity (Is. 16 v 8-11, Mt. 26 v 63-65, Jn. 10 v 27-39). When we are resurrected we shall be like him (Job 19 v 25-27, Rom. 6 v 4-14, 1 Cor. 15 v 42-58). His love casts out all fears (Rom. 8 v 15, 1 Jn. 4 v 15-18).

A binding covenant is sustained by faithfulness (Gen. 3 v 4 -11). The breakers of a covenant unto death must die (Gen. 2 v 16-17). Adam broke his very solemn covenant with God. His Satan-allied nature is cut off from God’s life forever (Rom. 5 v 12).

God’s promised second Adam is eternally related to the Father. All who call to God for forgiveness and mercy and still honour Him in the hour of their death will gain the life (Ezk. 18 v 23-28, Mt. 3 v 6-12, Jn. 1 v 26-33) of His promised substitute (Gen. 3 v 15, Job. 19 v 25-29, Jn. 3 v 3, 14-21, Rom. 5 v 18, 21).

What about infants who die who have definitely inherited Adam’s disobedient tendencies yet are too young to make that decision? Are they lost forever like Barrie’s originally dark Peter Pan in a dream-like, neglected and forgotten never-never land? This suggests if you deliberately abort your unborn child you offer it up to Satan (Lev.18 v 20-25).

There is no Limbo after death (Heb. 9 v 27). The blood of God’s second Adam covers all the sins of the world that resulted from the first Adam’s rejection of His love. Only Adam’s descendants who personally reject His love again are not covered (Gen. 4 v 11, Ex. 8 v 15, 32, 9 v 14, Heb. 2 v 7-19). So innocent infants are saved (Mk. 10 v 14-16).

Jesus blessed one as its father would (Mt. 18 v 1-7). They are sanctified by a believing parent or often even by a grandparent (Job. 1 v 5, 1 Cor. 7 v 14-16). Parents who commit their baby to Satan will not be saved but the baby is still innocent until it too decides to reject God’s love.

Those who subvert and harm little children are cursed by God (Mk. 9 v 42). Only very deep repentance allows God to take away the curse on a person and land and restore it to health (Jer. 32 v 35-44, Mt. 3 v 5-12, Jn. 1 v 29, 45).

Self-survivalists are ‘dead men walking’ (Gen. 4 v 11, 1 Sam. 28 v 16). They are prey to an alter ego or familiar spirit that turns the blessings and pleasures that Our Father gave us to richly enjoy into lusts and addictions. They know that their ‘nasty but nice’ habits are just bait on the trap door to hell but weakness and pride stop them crying to God to release and save them from their bondage to the hater of their soul.

The self-centred who justify their ways hide from this truth by calling God a liar (1 Jn. 1 v 5-10) and accusing Him of being unjust (Lk. 18 v 7-27). Like the Pharisees, Scribes and Sadducees (Mt. 23 v 23-33) they pretend to be good by hiding behind petty legalism that is designed to make them look superior and uphold their position. When they die they will be judged guilty even by their own laws (Mt. 26 v 59-67).

Those who sear their consciences (1 Tim. 4 v 2) and reject the conviction by the Holy Spirit (Mt. 12 v 31-32, Eph. 4 v 11-19) will not be saved. Those ignore his words of warning as given by his inspired prophets and teachers and make good evil and do evil as good (Gen. 2 v 17, 3 v 3-6) have only themselves to blame.

The Gospels and Epistles were written to correct the false teaching of preachers who are one with an alternative Christ (2 Cor. 11 v 13-15, Gal. 3 v 1, Php. 3 v 18, Col. 2 v 8, 18-23, 2 Pt. 2, 1 Jn. 4, Jude 4, Rev. 2 v 14-16, 20, 3 v 19). They make their disciples one with their puffed up nonsense (Mt. 16 v 6-12, 23 v 15, 24-28).

Religious people (Gen . 3 v 5, 2 Cor. 11 v 3-4, Gal. 1 v 7-14, Eph. 4 v 14) who produce a self-approved god (Ex. 32 v 24, Ps. 81 v 10-14) alter God’s words to suit it. They do what they feel is good for them in the muddled hope that it will somehow save their dying, temporal life (Mt. 3 v 7-9, Heb. 3 v 17-19, 4 v 10-16, Jude).

They preach Satan’s gospel (Gen. 3 v 4-11, Gal. 4 v 6, Eph. 2 v 2-9, Heb. 11 v 11, 17) as taught by Aristotle and the Gnostics that if they improve themselves they will overcome death and become as gods. In those realm (Lk. 16 v 22-26)? Only those who turn back to trusting in God’s provision will be saved.

Surely no one is so stupid to think our material, entropic cosmos is eternal. It had a beginning and has a predictable end (Is. 14 v 11-20). Every living creature is predestined to die. Many know they have no enduring, material kingdom yet they refuse to surrender their wilful rebellion to God’s promised Saviour.

Their proud self-determined nature which they inherited from the first Adam’s life (Mk. 14 v 22-24, Heb. 3 v 7-19, 1 Cor. 11 v 26-32) is not changed (Rom. 16 v 17-18, Col. 2 v 8, 22, Jas. 4, Rev. 2 & 3) so they remain bound by the law of sin and death.

Many people do things for God, not out of love but to defend themselves against His Spirit (Jn. 16 v 8-11). Some feel justified in keeping their unforgiveness, anger, hatred and desire for revenge. The judgemental attract God’s judgement (Mt. 5 v 20-48, 6 v 10-34). Without repentance they cannot be delivered. Their good works earn them support but if you discern their state of heart they will turn others against you (Mt. 15 v 19, Lk. 11 v 39, 2 Cor. 12 v 20-21, 2 Tim. 3).

Those who defend themselves and their religious guiding spirits (1 Kg. 22 v 7-8, 19-28) against any move by God’s Holy Spirit (Lk. 18 v 10-14, Jn. 15 v 18-26) will attack (Acts 7 v 51-60) and hate those who rely on Jesus to save them. Some are so deceived that they will be surprised that they are not accepted in God’s heaven (Mt. 7 v 20-23). Like those in John. 8 v 33-40, those who go to a Christian church or say they believe in Jesus but alter his words to fit their preferred beliefs and practices are followers of Satan’s gospel (Gen. 3 v 4-7, ).

Only God’s grace might save them if He sends His Holy Spirit to convict them of their sin (Jg. 3 v 12-15, 1 Sam. 16 v 14-18, Jonah 3 v 10, Lk. 11 v 23-28, Jn. 16 v 7-11, 1 Cor. 2 v 13-14, 5 v 1-6, Col. 2 v 18-23, 3 v 23-25, 2 Pt. 2 v 20 ). When he pours his life into their dry, lifeless lives they burst into tears (Lk. 5 v 37-39).

The Bible has many scribes but one author, so the whole helps us to see, where the translators have smudged the original picture-language (2 Pt. 1 v 16, 21). In Genesis 3 the ‘serpent’ describes the evil spirit’s character (associated idea: Mt. 3 v 7, v 19-20, 12 v 24, 33-34, 1 Pt. 5 v 8, Rev. 12 v 9); it was not a Freudian snake, nor a real snake which cannot speak! It’s double tongued children are like him (Mt. 23 v 33, Jn. 8 v 44).

Genesis 3 v 14 says: …….what has flowed from your womb (you conceived and have given birth to today) from now on will be as ashes in your mouth (Ezk. 28 v 18), for a new Adam will be born of a woman who will oppose what you have given birth to. When you try to stop him he will turn and crush your bid to be the head of God’s creation.

So why did It not see that Jesus came as the ‘Lamb of God’ (Lk. 24 v 44) to sanctify and buy back all of It’s slaves who cried to him for mercy and forgiveness? Self-elevated Satan thought Jesus came to takeover It’s kingdom so It incited the Jewish rulers to kill Him (Mt. 4 v 9, 26 v 3-4, Lk. 20 v 9-15). It took the irresistible bait……………..

 …. and the trap sprang. Jesus cried “Full payment has been made” then died (Jn. 10 v 18, 19 v 30, 1 Cor. 6 v 19-20)!

As the incarnation of God’s visible person (Heb. 1 v 6, 10 v 12-14, Col. 1) Jesus became fully human and fully God. Instead of destroying all his tormentors he exhaled his ‘pneuma’ (the Holy Spirit: Gen. 2 v 7, Lk. 23 v 46), became fully human and physically died. His powerless soul or psuche was carried by angels to Paradise (Lk. 16 v 22-31, Acts 2 v 27-31, Php. 2 v 6-11).

He cut himself off from the Father’s life and became identical with all who trust in the Father’s promised Saviour and submitted to His authority before they died (1 Cor. 15 v 42-57); except he had no sin. Death had no power over him but as a dead human it had to accept his soul.

Salvation is free. The cost however could not have been greater, so our mortal state could not have been worse. The Trinity divided. To have us as His children born into a relationship with God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Jn. 14) the ‘door’ into God’s life had to open (Lk. 13 v 23-28, Jn. 10 v 7-9, 14 v 6, Heb. 10 v 19-25).

Satan never dreamt that the Godhead could ever divide because the eternally perfect and complete God cannot change. Like so many spiritual people, God had told it what would happen but pride made it think it knew better than God (Gen. 3 v 15). It thought it was invincible (Ezk. 28 v 18). It had missed the significance of Genesis 15: Abraham did not cut a covenant with the Father; Jesus made it for him. All Abraham did was not to let the ‘vultures’ settle in his mind and rob him of his faith (Acts 5 v 3, Jas. 1 v 6-8).

God’s sinless, second Adam joined the Old Testament saints in death (Gen. 8 v  20-21, Rom. 6 v 3-11, Col. 2 v 12-15, Heb. 9 v 14). All who had cried to God for forgiveness for rejecting of Him and applied the poured out blood of a substitute as a recognition that they deserved to die, knew they would be rescued (Job 19 v 25-27, Heb. 11 v 4-6). After they died their incapacitated soul was carried by angels to Paradise where they waited, in comfort (Lk. 16 v 22-25). It was like living in the walled garden of an embassy in a hostile country.

The man who was hung next to Jesus confessed he deserved to die for his crimes and cried to Jesus for mercy (Lk. 23 v 40-43, Rom. 10 v 13). Immediately Jesus forgave him so he joined Him in Paradise (Ezk. 18 v 23-28).

Just by his presence the King of kings conquered death and defeated all the angels who had rebelled against him (1 Pt. 3 v 18-22). Jesus then called out in Death “let there be life” and his Holy Spirit (Mt. 3 v 11, Jn. 20 v 22) immediately descended on Jesus again and upon those who were identical with him in death (Rom. 8 v 11-14, 2 Tim. 1 v 10).

When he left all its captives who had made him their King left with him (Eph. 4 v 8, Heb. 2 v 9-15, 11 v 4). He ascended into the Father’s presence with all His first fruits from death (Job. 19 v 25-27, 1 Cor. 15 v 20-23) and the keys to Satan’s realm (Mt. 27 v 52, Rev. 1 v 18).

As Eve’s body was born of Adam (Mt. 27 v 52, Col. 2 v 6-10, Php. 3 v 18-21), they were born of God’s promised second Adam and arose with incorruptible bodies like his (Job. 19 v 25-27). Jesus’ sacrifice freely saves all who commit their lives to him as their Lord and Saviour (Rom. 3 v 21-26, 5 v 17-21). They are saved by grace through faith in his promise. Not by any crooked self-determined process (Eph. 4 v 14) but in accordance with His eternally secure plan (Eph. 2 v 1-10).

There are only great men of because there is a Great God of Men. Only the humble who trust in Him to save them can be accepted as sons of God (2 Sam. 16 v 9, Jer. 26 v 14, Mt. 5 v 5, 11 v 29, Lk. 23 v 34). It was only after Moses realised he was a failure (Ex. 3 v 11, 4 v 10, Num. 12 v 1-3) did God make him a greater king than Pharaoh.

It was only after the self-confident Peter denied Jesus and blasphemed (Lk. 22 v 31-34, 62, Jn. 21 v 17, Acts 5 v 15) did he see in himself was no good thing (Rom. 7 v 18). As a result Christ the King made him the leader of his Church (Lk. 22 v 31-34, 57-62). He was able to revive the disciples and do many miracles. The very ambitious Paul (Php. 2 v 3-11, 3 v 4-20) counted his eminence as worthless compared with knowing and serving Christ. Abel, and Job clearly knew this.

God’s prophets seek to serve and understand Gods will (1 Cor. 2 v 12-16, 1 Pt.1 v 10-19. 2 Pt. 1 v 16-21, 2 v 1-22). Self-appointed prophets with their own ambitions and message are ungodly (Num. 22 v 32, Acts 8 v 18-23, 1 Cor. 3 v 4, 19-21). The young Solomon was humble to start with (2 Chr. 1 v 8-12) but because his wisdom was from God even the sceptics started to treat him as a god (2 Chr. 9 v 19).

The self-justified reject God’s grace (Heb. 4 v 6-16, Jas. 4 v 6-10). They may believe in Jesus but want him to support their independent kingdom. They start to pray ‘my will be done in heaven as it is on earth’. They chose to reject his will so he cannot choose them (Mt. 7 v 21-23, 22 v 12-14, Lk. 13 v 23-27, Rom. 8 v 28-29, Eph. 1 v 5).

The self-glorified should repent (Lk. 18 v 9, Gal. 3 v 24, 1 Jn. 1 v 8-10, Rev. 22 v 19) but proud fools defend themselves by getting angry and attacking the truth (Gen. 4 v 6-12, Acts 9 v 1-6, Heb. 11 v 4, 12 v 24-25) as if it was God’s fault that their world has become ruled by sin and a fear of death (Mt. 5 v 13)

This is utterly perverse as He sent Jesus to die on the cross in order to save them from Satan’s lies (Rom. 6 v 20-23, 1 Jn. 1 v 3-10). His sacrifice has now redeemed all who accept him as their Lord (Jn. 20 v 27-29) and reject Satan as their lord (Jer. 19 v 4-5, Jonah 4 v 11, Lk. 18 v 17-24).

The Father’s love for us sacrificed His love for Himself (Lk. 23 v 44-48). He sent His visible person, as a sinless man, into death, that we might be made whole (Rom. 8 v 11, 1 Pt. 1, 3 v 19).

Those who have a life that they manage without turning to and trusting in Jesus every day are not acting as Jesus’ disciples (Mt. 7 v 19-23, Jn. 6 v 51-63, 15 v 4-8). They bypass Christ’s victory on the Cross and continue in Adam’s forlorn, separate, self-determined life (Gen. 2 v 9, 17). Their rejection of God’s Saviour leaves them on the wrong side of his cross so they remain cut off from God’s life.

Those who recognise the self sustained mortal body they inherited from Adam must die and commit it to the grave with Jesus’ humanity through baptism into the name of Jesus (Is. 53 v 5-12, Rom. 8 v 8-14) will gain his resurrected life (Rom. 6 v 1-14, 7 v 2-4, 10 v 9-13). They experience his wholeness on earth as they surrender their old life to his new life.

His Holy Spirit resolves many of the problems left by our past wrongs as each is brought to our notice and we disown it in the name of Jesus (Joel 2 v 25). When they come before their Father in fear and trembling He does not see what they used to be (Eph. 1 v 13-23). He always says “I love you” (Heb. 12 v 5-13). They are eternally secure (1 Cor. 15 v 22, 47-57).

Those who are baptised in place of death (1 Cor. 15 v 29) still die physically but will not experience the state of death (Jn. 8 v 52, Col. 1 v 13). They leave their earthly fathers life and inherit his life as through a marriage covenant (see King of Kings post). That covenant unto death is made by faith based on a promise of love.

God only makes such a new unbreakable covenant with those who He attests are genuine (Mt. 4 v 11, Acts 10 v 2-4, 37-44). The first man to gain that relationship by his unwavering faith before he died was Abraham (Gen. 22 v 2-18, Gal. 3 v 6-18, Heb. 6 v 13-20, Jas. 2 v 20-25). The next we know of was his son Isaac, grandson Jacob (Mt. 22 v 32) and great grandsons Joseph and Job (Job. 40 v 1-8, 42 v 2-10).

Abraham’s new covenant involved him and God passing through death between the halves of the sacrifices into a new life together as one (Gen. 15 v 9, Jer. 34 v 18-19). The one who walked through with the Father in Abraham’s place while he slept was His visible person (Ps. 23, Jn. 1 v 29, 14 v 9, Col. 1 v 12-22). To be saved from death and live in heaven you must be centred on Christ for eternity (Jn. 8 v 7, Rev. 5 v 1-6).

The Israelites under Moses broke their covenant (Ex. 13 v 5) so they were put under the Law for the disobedient that promises death. That curse was lifted when by faith in God’s perfect sacrifice (Jn. 1 v 29-34, 1 Pt. 1 v 19-25) they put an innocent animal to death in their place  (Heb. 9 v 12-15, 27-28). It had to be repeated every time they sinned again unto death.

For those who have faith in the sacrifice of God’s promised second Adam the Law is changed into a promise (Heb. 8 v 5-13, 9 v 13-15). If you enter into a solemn covenant with Jesus (1 Cor. 11 v 25-34) his death covers and annuls your sin forever (Rom. 8, Col. 1 v 20-23, 2 v 9-17, 2 Tim. 1 v 9-12). You cannot earn or buy love; you can only honour, accept and respond to it (Mt. 22 v 12-14, 23 v 34-37).

The only person who can save, love and unify the lost is Jesus (Acts 4 v12). All those who have made a ‘marriage’ covenant (1 Cor. 11 v 25-27) with Jesus Christ are part of his bride and destined to live in his home (Jn. 14 v 1-6, Eph. 1 v 13). It will be completed and perfected (Php. 1 v 6, 3 v 8-19) at Pentecost when the fire of God will burn up all the impurities.

If you identify your self-pursued ways as dead with Jesus (Rom. 6 v 4-14) and seek to know and be one with his Father’s purpose you will be sealed with his risen life now (Eph. 1 v 9-23). You get a second chance at the free life that Adam lost (Gal. 5 v 1); to feed off His source of life (Rev. 2 v 7) in obedience to His Holy Spirit and gain rewards that will survive the fire (1 Cor. 3 v 9-15, 1 Jn. 5 v 9-14).

The Bride knows when Jesus is coming and will be ready (Eph. 1 v 13-14, 5 v 25-31, Rev. 19 v 7, 22 v 14). It is the day and hour of the end of God’s wrath that is not known. Satan tries to delay it by both slowing God’s harvest (Mt. 13 v 19-30), and preventing the Jews regaining their promised land (Lk. 21 v 24, Rom. 11 v 18-25).

Like the wise and foolish virgins of Matthew 25, many do not have a person relationship with Christ and try to save themselves. This scripture suggests that those who are not committed to Satan’s gospel or to Jesus as Lord and Saviour have only a 50/50 chance of not suffering eternal remorse. Many with wasted lives wait till they are dying to decide. Like the two thieves at the crucifixion their salvation depends on the Ezekiel 18 v 26-28 ruling. The saved are as brands snatched from the fire.

The Bride’s wise friends (Ps. 45 v 14) have no personal knowledge of the Bridegroom (Mt. 25 v 12, Lk. 13 v 27) but they scrape through and escape the rule of death based on the Ezekiel 18 v 26-32 conditions. Her foolish friends have not enough of God’s revealed knowledge to respond in time (Lk. 16 v 27-31, Jn. 3 v 5-10, Heb. 4 v 1-11).

The ‘oil’ in their ‘lamps’ is not the Holy Spirit but wisdom based on revelation from God’s Word as given by Moses and Elijah (Zech. 4 v 12-14, Rev. 11 v 3-4). Some of those anointed with oil departed from the Holy Spirit’s ‘Tree of Life’ and went on to gain evil spirits (1 Sam.10 v 1, 15 v 19-23, 16 v 14, 2 Ch. 1 v 12, 7 v 17-22, 1 Kg. 11 v 1-11). The proof or fruits of the Holy Spirit’s involvement is obedience to his inspired words (Lk. 9 v 29-35, 1 Pt. 1 v 18-21).

Any spiritual anointing that does not conform to God’s revealed words is not of God (Mt. 15 v 3-9, Jn. 8 v 4-7, Rev. 3 v 18-22). He who, like Adam, brushes aside scripture to justify his self-saving religion gains a false spirit (Acts 8 v 18-23, Rom. 16 v 17-20, 1 Jn. 4 v 1-4, Gal. 3 v 1, Jude 3-8).

Everyone must choose: to believe a lying murderer who promises a bankrupt, independent eternity in its spirit kingdom after physical death; or God the Father’s sworn promise of the gift of a perfect, new life in His home for ever and ever? Those who put their faith in Satan’s promises become children of the Devil (Mt. 12 v 34, 13 v 38-39, 1 Jn.3 v 10).

It is impossible for people who are separated from God’s Spirit of life to regain His life by trying to be good (Rom. 7, Ti. 3 v 5). You can only gain His life as a gift by grace based on faith in His promise (Rom. 8 v 1-17, Gal. 2 v 21, 3 v 24-29, Eph. 2 v 5-10, Col. 2 v 8-17, Heb. 4 v 6-16, 6 v 17-20).

Some may have made an internal commitment of faith (Acts 2 v 5) and had some form of baptism (Mt. 3 v 11-12) but not a physical commitment through baptism into the name and death of Jesus (Lk. 3 v 16-17). Others in Acts 8 v 9-16 were baptised in Jesus’ name but did not received his Holy Spirit because they had not repented of their involvement with evil spirits (Rom. 6 v 3-19, 7 v 3-11, Heb. 4 v 11-16).

The Holy Spirit is a life giver. He is a teacher not a church entertainer that draws in thrill-seekers (Rev. 13 v 13-15). He cannot abide with falsehoods (Mt. 12 v 28-32). He is detached from all evil (Jas. 1 v 13-27). God sends angels to carry out the destruction of those who reject His love, ignore His warnings and choose to do evil (Gen. 19 v 13-15, Ex. 12 v 23, 1 Kg. 22 v 20-22, Mt. 13 v 39, 26 v 53).

An adulterous generation, with no desire to turn to Jesus and be saved, seeks placebos and signs from their resident spirits (Mt. 7 v 22-29, 12 v 38-45). Nearly every advert, film and fear full news item includes Satan’s message with a contagious, evil messenger.

Behind every doctrine based on alternatives to God’s words is a spirit or demon (1 Tim. 1 v 10-11, 4 v 1). They are easy to spot because they alter and reverse God’s commands and always make you self, sin and death conscious instead of God conscious. They must be kept at arms-length and if carelessly entertained must be thrust out in the mighty name of Jesus (Lk. 10 v 17-21, 1 Jn. 1 v 5-10).

Many congregations need to repent of their defence of the religious doctrines of their preferred spirit (1 Kg. 22 v 7-8, 20-25, Mt. 24 v 44-51, Rev. 1 v 4, 20, 3 v 3) but the pride that comes with self-righteous religions bars the door to “what the Holy Spirit is saying to the churches” (Lk. 18 v 8, Rev. 2 & 3).

Such churches sell their members their watered down version (Gen. 3 v 3-6) of Matthew 28 v 1 with the idea that miracles no longer follow those who preach the word of God (Mt. 3 v 8-12, Mk. 16 v 20, Acts 2 v 37-47). It should read:  Consequently travel to every nation with the purpose (having baptised them with fullness of the name of the Father and also the Son and also the Holy Spirit) of teaching them to keep to everything I have commanded you. Know this that ‘I am’ is with you until the end of the age (2 Thess. 2 v 7).

Happiness is not in things that perish (Heb. 1 v 11): it is only in our total acceptance of the everlasting oneness with the love of our lives who cut himself off from his Father’s life to join us and save us.

The worldly churches (Jer. 8 & 11, 42 v 19-22) are dying because they have traded God’s support for wealth (Mt. 6 v 24). They have swapped the praise of Jesus for self-pleasing cheer, and salvation from sin for psychological shrouds (Rom. 8 v 5-8, 11 v 25, Eph. 4 v 17-24, Col. 2 v 18-22, 1 Jn. 2 v 15-19, Rev. 2 & 3, 17).

The Lord God visibly dwelt on Earth with the Israelites. They cut a blood covenant unto death with Him at Passover (Ex. 12 v 13-28) and their water baptism cut them off from their old lords and into a totally God dependent life (Lev. 19 v 1-8, Jer. 34 v 13-20, Jn. 8 v 4-11, 1 Cor. 10 v 1-22).

To maintain that relationship with Him they had to repent of their sins against His laws that merited death (2 Chr. 30 v 17-27, 31 v 1-10, Heb. 3 v 5-12, 19) and repeat the sacrifice of a perfect lamb as a type of the promised Saviour who would die in their place (Gen. 4 v 4-5, Ex. 12 v 5-9, 13 v 12, 1 Pt. 1 v 14-25).

Those who deliberately change God’s words to support their alternative version repeat Adam’s sin unto death (Num. 14 v 11-12, 20 v 7-13, 1 Sam. 15 19-26, 2 Sam. 6 v 3-9, 1 Kg. 13 v 17-24, 1 Cor. 11 v 26-32). Beware the leaven of religious men (Mt. 16 v 6) least you fall (1 Cor. 10 v 11-22).

The Israelites rejected the terms of God’s new life based on love and faith in His promises (Gen. 22, Ex. 13 v 1-3, Acts 7 v 39, 51-53). They did not want to change (Jn. 8 v 37-45, 1 Cor. 10 v 5-6, Jude 5). They loved their godless, self-centred life (Ex. 15 v 23, Num. 11 v 4-6). They sought the favour of the god of this world to prolong their dying lives (Ex. 32 v 4, Jer. 11 v 10-17, Lk. 4 v 1-13, Heb. 3 v 10-18) and so became It’s slaves again (Heb. 2 v 15).

When they returned to God’s protection and held the annual memorial of their covenant they had days of celebration and great joy. Holiness is not in fighting temptation but being free of it (Jas. 1 v 6-14, 25-26, 3 v 2).

As we walk alongside Jesus and respond to his words we are cleansed (Jn. 13 v 7-17, Eph. 5 v 24-27). Only faith in the poured out blood of the Lamb of God (Heb. 4 v 15-16, 9 v 14, 12 v 22-24, Rev. 5 v 4-6, 12 v 11) allows us to dwell in God’s presence and not die (Dan. 10 v 7, Rev. 1 v 17, 6 v 16).

Unless we aim for that final baptism, where God alone is glorified (1 Tim. 1 v 14-19), we will not do “greater works than these” (Jn. 14 v 10-13). Many believers will only experience it after their old life dies (1 Cor. 3 v 11-15, Rev. 6 v 9-11) when they exchange (Heb. 12 v 18-25) the last trace of their death fearing nature (Lev. 23 v 16-18, Lk. 3 v 16, Jn. 18 v 25-27, Acts 4 v 8-20) for unspeakable joy.

Self-sufficient survivalists do not have that love, joy and peace. They not only have to save themselves but have the added burden of being slaves to a  war lord with a hopeless agenda (Gen. 3 v 4-7). The double minded must seek Jesus’ new abundant life and yearn for his new home before they lose both forever (Col. 2 & 3).

The idea of dying may not nice but like going to the dentist, after the ‘drilling’ has stopped the pain is forgotten. However for those who have rejected God’s ‘dental plan’ it is never ending. The temporary pain serves to save many for only in extremis do some finally cry to God to save them (Is. 53, Mt. 27 v 41-50). The godless who use euthanasia to get out early will miss their last chance.

At the end of this life the only thing you have gained that you can keep is not how much you suffered, achieved or were loved but how much you trusted in God’s love to save you so you might selflessly love others (1 Cor. 13 v 1-13, 1 Jn. 3 v 10-14, 4 v 7-18). You seek a good return from your invests in this world then leave them for others to spend. The best investments are those motivated by your love of God (Rev. 3 v 17-22): dividends now and for eternity (Mt. 6 v 30-34).
