SYNTHETICISM
And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life. (Jer 4:30)
In the end, artificiality will be of no
use! Mankind sees the flesh, but God sees the soul. You are what you are,
made-up or not.
In ancient times, Jeremiah wrote
of artificiality from his perspective; all that could be done to the flesh were
visible things: “’Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead,
nor print any marks upon you,’ I am the Lord” (Lev 19:28). That refers to
piercings through the flesh and artwork in inks to adorn the flesh.
The flesh is more than a canvas
on which to paint and hang with ornaments. Speaking of sustenance, Moses wrote
the Words of God, “For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the
life thereof” (Lev 17:14).
God had warned Adam and Eve of
death. Perhaps they figured that death was to become inanimate objects again!
However, life is not in the elemental substances but in the carbon of the
organism. There is much debate about both the origin of life and the origin of
misnamed “fossil fuels.” If carbon was from ancient dinosaurs, as many were
taught, then carbon would be from death itself.
Fossil fuels are not from what once
were thought of as dead animals but elemental anaerobic organisms. “Anaerobic
means, ‘living, active, occurring, or existing in the absence of free oxygen,’
as opposed to aerobic which means ‘living’”
In the beginning what did God do
to animate Adam? “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul”
(Gen 2:7). God took anaerobic material and breathed life into it, making it
aerobic.
Whether anaerobic is truth or not
is an unproveable hypothesis because nobody was there to monitor the exercise.
Scientists once accepted the theory that carbon was from the remains of once
alive creatures that were caught in time and became oil. That theory would
mean that living organisms were caught in a primordial “soup” and out came energy.
It is as much as alchemy — something from nothing. If they were correct, explain
from where did anaerobic life evolve? It is a never-ending question without
beginning. If anaerobic life has carbon in it, from where did the inanimate
carbon come? The “somewhere” is from “Almighty God!”
Whether scientific or theistic,
God breathed life into the dead (inanimate soil) and made it aerobic — animated
and alive.
Sin did not make Adam inanimate
again, but it did something to his flesh to make it inglorious. When God added
His breath into the “clay” (Adam); it was something in the breath of God.
Perhaps just as God had breathed life into all things, he did the same thing
with Adam. He would have breathed unto the clay of Adam “life”!
Every organism has one specific
thing — a hydrocarbon chain specific to the organism’s life, domain, kingdom,
phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species (ibid). Those are the
names of the ranks of life that is called “taxonomy.’
God created life on the “second
day.” Where was that life? In the invisible realm. Angels are a form of life,
and they too have a taxonomy in their domain. As such, the life in their
domain is much different than life in our realm.
Life was son generated even more
developed and by the “third day” plant life was generated on the domain of Earth.
God created the living creatures that fly and inhabit the oceans on the fifth
day. He created them in their own kingdom and so when the flood came (Gen 7),
the kingdom of those so classified were not destroyed.
The next life that was generated
were the land-living creatures in the same domain and kingdom as man: “God made
the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every
thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good”
(Gen 1:25). He would have made the dinosaurs on the land in that process, so certainly
the carbon for man was not from fossils! The only way left was for God to provide
the hydrocarbons from the waters when he separated them on “day two.” [1]
Science neglected what happened
on “day two” until recently when they identified the bosons (the visible) and
the fermions (the invisible) separated by the hadrons (the barrier between, or
perhaps the division of the domains).
Then on “day six” at last mankind
was made — our species that is distinct from any of the others. It was a
species that was glorious, made in the image of God. Therefore, coming “short
of the glory of God” because of sin, is inglorious and in the image of the “Beast”
at least partially.
“Original sin” was when the
taxonomy of life deteriorated and the creatures of the two domains mixed.
Mankind was no longer God’s kind but a synthesis of demon-kind and God’s
kind; not totally depraved but still worth saving! Sin is now in the
composition of the flesh of mankind. As such, humane kind is as much as “inhumane-kind”
by now, as in the days of Noah, that mankind had become so depraved by further
mixing with a kind from another domain, that God disposed of them as if they
were gigantic trash; perhaps as “filthy rags” that the despoiled flesh has
become (Isa 64:6).
To appear pleasing to the eye,
people adorn their wicked fleshes, perhaps sub-consciously to appear glorious! Jeremiah
enumerated how he saw the species in latter-times and with all the adornments
now available, and this generation fits that revelation.
On the outside, “human” beings
are synthetic men and women but inside we all are the same “beasts” that require
taming. What we appear to be is merely “persona” but inside there is a wide awake,
“shadow.”
None of us are what we are made
about to be until we are humbled. James, the brother of Jesus, stated it so succinctly,
“Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up” (Jas
4:10). Humbling therein is self-abasement (tapeinoō). Rather than
a high estimation (self-esteem) of oneself, Christians are to abase themselves:
“to lower in rank, office, prestige, or esteem”
The taxonomy of the various living
creatures are rankings! Now, do you see where this is heading? Our domain
remains on Earth but inside, man is no longer the species of man. Humility is
to abase ourselves, not debase, but understand that we are what we are! We come
short of the glory of God, and that is not debasement but a fair representation,
or as Paul said it, “…by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies (your
flesh) a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable
service” (Rom 12:1). Thus, it is humility, or right judgment, of who we are. We
come short of the glorious image of God and that is a realization when anyone is
persuaded to become as Christ, in Christ, and again in the image of God.
Compare yourself to Jesus. It Is
God in our sinful flesh that corrects it. God could have come again in glorious
flesh, but rather, to feel our feelings, God came in our corruptible flesh for
a demonstration; that we are capable of enduring temptation because He did so
Himself.
Because we are not totally
depraved, God has grace on us. Depravity is identified by our characters — who
we strive to be like. Most of mankind strives for high estimation such as
Lucifer himself (Isa 14:12) and to have the desires of life: lusts of the eyes,
of the flesh, and of the pride of life (1 John 2:16).
The pride of life is genetic
pride; that we are images of God and are tagged with His peculiar Genome. Even
Christians feel significant once they turn around, but humility is abasing that
falsehood.
Just look at us! Just how much do
we resemble God, and how much more so, even Christians, act more like Lucifer.
The fact that my genes are from another domain, wherever it was that Lucifer
was cast to, abases me. I do not have much of the image of God within but fight
with principalities quite often just to appear to be like Christ. There are
those in another domain who seek our soul to be like them — demonic.
Christians synthesize glorious
behavior, and I hate to admit that I do too!
David saw his own false view of
himself and recognized that he was not shaped in the image of God but the image
of Lucifer (Psalm 51:5). He abased himself when he prayed “the sinner’s prayer”
in that poem.
Syntheticism is the use of “devised,
arranged, or fabricated for special situations to imitate or replace usual
realities”
As such, such changes in the
flesh are synthetic and are outward. For some it is to make themselves more
beautiful, to others more hideous, and to others alien to the rest of the
population. However, for all who alter the flesh, whether it be by make-up, tattoos
or piercings; they are all ways to adorn the flesh of the person.
Now what is the problem with that?
Take your time and do not get angry!
Tik-tock, tick-tock, tik-tock.
Have you considered God yet?
Well, becoming a Christian is adoring God, is it not? Since Jesus is God,
adoring God is adoration of the flesh of God called “Jesus.” Self-adoration
deflects from adoration of God. It is decorating your own intrinsically evil
flesh rather than appreciating the glorious flesh of Jesus.
Now, dig deeper. Such things amplify
what is important to the person. Take Cat Von Dee for instance. When she was a young
wild child, she was tattooed with grotesque images, surely for the shock value
of it. Those images reflected Cat inside. She displayed her inner woman on her
skin.
Who is to say what is grotesque?
Young Cat probably loved the statement that her skin-art made. Inside Cat was a
beast of some type, and she was surely proud of the wildness within.
Something recently changed in Cat;
she is no longer the same person on the inside but was unchanged on the outside
because tattoos are permanent alterations. She had changed her flesh forever,
but inside her nature somehow changed. Whether God got into her or not remains unsaid,
but now with children, the best bet is that God changed Cat whether she credits
Him or not!
It seems that Cat defected from
her inner self and perhaps gained affection for God and appreciation for her
God-given flesh. Something experiential changed Cat for now Cat has completely
blotted out the devilish images. She could have had lasers remove the images in
a very time-consuming and expensive process, but Cat chose to merely have the
horrible images (to her) blotted out with dark ink. Now her left leg is black
almost all over. That was a radical thing to do but the “new creature” is no
longer the “old creature” that she had been before. Perhaps her blotting-out
was to protect her progeny from the same radical “statements;” and that she was
protecting her genes as best as she could.
God does that same thing with sin. Speaking of the curse that Job had received, Job said:
“3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, ‘There is a man child conceived.’ 4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. 5 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it” (Job 3:3-5)
Wild Cat was born stained and
added to it more stain as the rebel she was.
Think about that. Adam and Eve
rebelled against God with the first sin, and every sin is rebellion against
God. When anyone tampers with what glory, if any, that remains in the flesh, it
becomes even more inglorious. Cat may have tried to do what only God can do: “Have
mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the
multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions” (Psalm 51:1). David
turned to God to blot them out, but David had made a change of life.
Cat did as well. She probably was
intelligent enough to know that she could not blot out her childhood sins, but
she could blot out those sins that were so admired that she had made images of
them upon her flesh. As such, Cat may have found her earlier self-repugnant now.
What once she had affection for, Cat has now defected from! Cat may have done the right thing; by defecting
from evil, she has become apostate to what she once was. She has fallen
away from her previous inward self that was reflected outwardly on her skin.
For the Christian, it is much the
same. Because they have affection for God, God blots out their sins. Cat
could not do that but did next best; she presented her flesh to God with much
of those awful images removed! Hopefully, she understands that only God can
change her inwardly, and perhaps God has already planted His “Seed” in Cat by
persuading her to become a Christian. If so, then all the “sins that are past”
are blotted out by the propitiation of the blood of Jesus (Rom 3:25).
Cat may already be changing inside
and the outside a reflection of the new Cat. She is slowly becoming a “new
creature” if that is true, and according to Paul, “If any man be in Christ, he
is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become
new” (2 Cor 5:17). “Man” in that case is Adam’s kind and “Eves” are Adam’s kind
as well. Then old Cat has passed away and all things begin afresh.
Those “sins that are passed” are
original sins and unwise sins of youth. The blood of Jesus, blotting out sins
of the past, blot out Adam’s sin, Eve’s sins, Cain’s sins, and so on down to
the sins of Cat, you, and me to this day. His blood blots out the iniquity that
is in us from conception.
Hard as she may try, even blotting sins from her skin, Cat cannot change who she is. Nobody is almighty enough to change their own genetics, so Cat, you, and I must depend on the special blood of Jesus with the Genome of God in it, to change who we are. The seed is planted at conversion, and perhaps Cat has been converted. The regenning by God above is at the General Resurrection when Jesus comes to provide new incorruptible (glorious flesh) and perhaps Cat will be there! Peter said it well, speaking to Christians:
22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. (1 Pet 1:22-23)
As such, Christians are “asleep”
and growing the seed inside. Its destiny is to bear fruit at salvation. On the
time scale now is always the time as it is always nearer than at first belief.
Hence, salvation is a future event, but for now, Christians are “asleep” in the
Bosom of God, so to speak, knowing full-well that Christ is in us for those who
endure to the end (Mat 10:22). The end of the process of “sleep” while on Earth
and the gain when awakened with death!
Luke wrote of the specialty of
Abraham’s Bosom (Luke 16). Abraham was endowed with the “Seed” of God and according
to The Book of Jasher, he was cast into a fiery furnace in Shinar — Ur
of the Chaldees. He came out unscathed because of the grace of God because of
his great faith. Abraham was rewarded with incorruptible flesh and withstood
the fire, at least while in there. It is assumed that Abraham was engendered
from above (born again) upon his decease to be like he was in the fiery furnace.
Therefore, in Abraham’s Bosom is a “safe-space” in the Third Heaven away from
Hell in the same realm but separated by a “great gulf” (Luke 16:26).
Even in death, a Christian is
asleep and safe in Abraham’s Bosom. They are those who were seeded from Abraham
by his progeny, Jesus (that explains the genealogy of Jesus back to Abraham in
Matthew one.). Those in Christ are in the bosom of Abraham, so to speak because
his genes from God above are the Genome in Abraham from God.
Salvation is at the Resurrection
of the dead in Christ when their genes become the Glory of God. The “Glory of
God” is much more than His “Excellency” but His very Identity. In a genetic
sense, the “Serpent” knew the outcome — sinful man would someday become “as
gods” (Gen 3:5) and would return to the Image in which God had at first endowed
them!
“Cat Von Dee” was the synthetic
Catherine Van Damme. She made herself who she was. She could change her name,
her outward appearance, but Cat remained “Catherine” inside. Her genome came from
all who came before her and only God altar that. Cat came from a long line of sinners
beginning with the “Lucifer” in Eve, and as such, all men (men and women) are “adulteresses”
inside as one meaning of the name, “Eve.” Catherine does have a little “Cat”
inside; the “beast” that Isaiah saw as a “Lilith” (the “Screech Owl;” Isa
34:14).
Catherine could and did blot out
those evil images, but Catherine cannot blot out the “Lilith” — the shadow of Eve,
in my opinion, inside of her flesh. Hopefully, Catherine will understand that
Jesus has already provided the Genome in His lost blood to improve the “beast”
inside of everyone!
Enough about Cat Von Dee. Bill Gates
now claims the ability to create “synthetic man” and defile the blood of Jesus
as he himself becomes the “Great Hunter” like Nimrod to make a name for
himself. Again, Abraham’s Bosom comes into the story. We remain in Abraham’s
Bosom if we have the “faith of our father, Abraham” (Rom 4:12). That is if we
have the Genome of God within us as Abraham.
Abraham rejected the Tower to
Heaven, built there to destroy God. Nimrod, not God, was the “Great Technician”
for that giant leap for mankind! Abraham defied Nimrod and suffered the
fiery furnace. After he was safe from Nimrod, he paid tribute to God by
offering his only “begotten” son, not a son that he had created, but the son who
within carried the very Genome of God.
That was perhaps a test. Abraham
had stuck with God in round one, would he do so with the destruction of God in
round two? Again, Abraham refused to perish the Genome of God.
Abraham was about to make the
miraculous son, whose flesh carried the Seed of God, into an animal sacrifice.
Look what was at stake therein; Abraham had become the “Great Hunter” after he
defied Nimrod, now would he destroy God in his progeny? It was God who said, in
essence, kill My Seed; cut off this Branch from Me!
Because God was the Authority of
Abraham, and not Nimrod, Abraham would obey. As it turned out, it was not yet
time for God to suffer death, so instead of righteous Isaac, God provided a
male sheep — a ram — for the sacrifice that would do until the Lamb of God would
be borne to this realm for the perfect sacrifice.
When Jesus shed the blood of God
onto the Earth and through the crevice onto the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant,
the Genome of God was made available to all that would have it. In Noah’s day,
the “Ark” of Noah was the vessel that would carry the mercy, and the
flesh of Jesus would be the Vessel, or “Cup,” to carry the Genome of God into
this realm to provide Mercy to all who would partake of His “Cup” (Mat 26:27).
Not to be mean because possibly
Cat was cleaned up inside first, but what if she is only cleaning the outside?
Jesus addressed that as well when He said, “Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the
platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess” (Mat 23:25). Perhaps
God cleaned up Cat inside, and to suit her new identity, she desires to cleanse
the outside of her “cup” as well. Only God knows whether Cat is a new creature
or not, but we must not condemn her!
To this day, many who call themselves
“Christians” do a great job of washing the “cup” to make it clean on the outside,
but only God can wash the inside in the hard-to-reach places — in the chromosomes
that are so stained with sin that they are filthy! Sin is in the chromosomes (the
vessels for the DNA — in the very identity tag of the person).
With that said, altering the
flesh and its genome is syntheticism; it is the soul that must be cleansed and only
God can change the identity of the soul!

For those who have read my book, On the Origin of Man and the Universe,
I propose that “days” are different processes in time (Gen 4:3).
