ON TRANSHUMANISM - Part 2

 In a sense, everybody is post-human at birth! That is what David meant when he wrote that he was formed in iniquity. Righteous Abel was not but everyone else has been except Jesus. Iniquity is genetic, and because sin is the existence of iniquity, and all have sinned, then sin is genetic.

There are two books which God’s angels keep, and they were revealed to John, to wit: 

And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. (Rev 20:12)

 The first book is The Book of Life. Rather than searching the Greek for the meaning of life, consider the Hebrew wherein God breathed life unto man. Adam was awakened from an Image to become an animated image. What made him different than the clay from which he was formed? He was a mobile being; but if movement was his only feature, he would have been an automaton — a robot controlled by God! He would have been a transhuman from the “laboratory” of God.

There were three things that made him a human being: 1) he had a soul, 2) he had his own mind with a faculty to will to move on his own, and 3) he was not metallic nor even gaseous but organic. Adam was a thinking, moving, organism with an invisible image like God’s that He called a “soul.”

Of course, Adam was organic but not in the sense that his flesh was once alive but now dead. Unlike the earth, Adam was organic as defined in chemistry. “Carbonyl,” or “Organic Chemistry,” is said to be: 

"The elements that are studied in organic chemistry are elements containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, usually with the addition of nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus. Each organic compound has a specific group in which each group is different in nature and reactivity” (Felicia 2017)

 According to some, carbon never existed naturally until life was taken from organisms. Those organisms are single-celled life that was created in the third process wherein plant life was formed by God. God took the carbon from the Earth which once lived and formed a living soul.

The soul, as discovered much later, is an invisible being in bodily shape (Luke 3:22). As such, the eternal soul is the unseen substance of man, and the flesh, the seen substance. The flesh of man is the “Book of Life” in a sense because each organ of the flesh contains life, or once did in the fingernails, hair and such.

The “Book” about each person is written in code. It is God’s “Book of Life,” so His authorship is credited with His initials — JHWG, and perhaps originally, JHWH, is written in the chain of DNA in the elements therein.

That was the start of the book, page one, in the beginning. The history of all organisms — carbon-based life — began on “page three,” of the third day. The kinds of breathing organisms are written on ‘page six” and at the top of the “page,” the other kinds were written in God’s “Book of Life.”

 Last but not least came mankind, at the bottom of “page six.”

What am I implying? That the carbon-chain, now called “DNA,” is God’s “Book of Life.” 

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a polymer composed of two polynucleotide chains that coil around each other to form a double helix carrying genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth and reproduction of all known organisms and many viruses. (Wikipedia 2001)

 DNA is a book of instructions all about the organism! It is written on two “scrolls” so to speak, much like the columns of a Bible is today. One scroll carries the message — the RNA — and the other life itself!

There is synthetic DNA, and guess what? “In June 2019, scientists reported that all 16 GB of article text from the English Wikipedia had been encoded into synthetic DNA” (ibid). Thus, enter the New Age of synthetic DNA which can be rewritten or written over to suit. Synthetic DNA makes human beings “transhuman.” More on that shortly.

Mankind is “upright man” in contrast to apes who are not. Of course, the human skeleton of bone made them upright standing creatures, but inside DNA is another “skeleton” as can be seen from Wikipedia: 

  Both strands of double-stranded DNA (pyrimidines and purines) store the same biological information. This information is replicated when the two strands separate. A large part of DNA (more than 98% for humans) is non-coding, meaning that these sections do not serve as patterns for protein sequences. The two strands of DNA run in opposite directions to each other and are thus antiparallel. Attached to each sugar is one of four types of nucleobases (or bases). It is the sequence of these four nucleobases along the backbone that encodes genetic information. RNA strands are created using DNA strands as a template in a process called transcription… (ibid)

 The DNA is two scrolls — the Book of Life and some other unnamed book, according to the revelation to John. The unknown book, according to Wikipedia, would be written on the RNA strands (“scrolls”), “nature” transcribed onto that “scroll,” and the two scrolls have a “backbone” just like upright man.

Without a question, DNA is the “Book of Life” and on it is written all the biological information for each person. The DNA is peculiar for each individual (God’s chosen and peculiar people; Deut 14:2) and on it is recorded all the progeny of each person, as well as everything about them. We all are a composite of all who came before US, and that is written on our two “books.” DNA is life itself and RNA are life-preserving messages that are written to continue life! Death then is just mutant DNA — depravity, and the reason Adam and Eve did know they were dead is because they remained animated.

What was God to say in the Book of Revelation? These?  I wrote two books, or I encoded your entire life on both strands of your DNA.

Your DNA and RNA is your genetic and biological identity. It is all about you! As it turns out, “life” is encoded on your DNA and instructions for it on your RNA. Whether the messages were followed or not is encoded from the “recorder” RNA onto the “recording tape” — the stand of DNA.

You did not know that? Solomon did! 

⁵ …because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets: ⁶ Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. ⁷ Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. (Ecc 12:5-7)

 The “silver cord” is literally, “the pale twisted thread,” according to Strong’s Definitions. In this case, Solomon — “wise man” (homo sapien) — defined “death;” it is when the pale twisted cord is “loosed” which is implied, but “broken” according to the usages for the bowl and fountain.

Solomon perhaps knew that the DNA of mankind would be altered by somebody or something. Perhaps he saw a vision of gene-editing of modern times, or perhaps he was understanding the body of knowledge from the Tree of Knowledge. Perhaps he saw the good “scrolls” made and transcribed by God and the evil knowledge of gene-editing.

Nowadays gene-editing is quick and easy as it can be programmed to be cut and spliced-in just like memory on a computer. The first case of gene-editing was not in this age of technology but in the beginning when Lucifer made Cain a transhuman!

The aim of transhumanism is to develop the mind beyond its limitations. God provided a good body of knowledge when he transcribed the “Tree of Life” – the genetic and biological tree — on the genome of each person. When the fruit was eaten of the Tree of Knowledge, what happened? The minds of the two had their base knowledge expanded to include evil, and as such evil became natural, and so natural that humans utilize the knowledge of evil instinctively; often their minds are unaware of the new animal instincts within themselves!

That was the “Serpents” intent when he edited the genomes of Eve by adding his own genome (the “Serpent”) in his seed. Therefore, Cain was marked, and his genome was the “Adam” woman, Eve’s, and of himself. Lucifer added a little “Luciferin” into Eve to edit the genome of Cain in the womb, if my conclusions are true.

So, what is a genome? It is all genetic information of an organism. It is the full body of knowledge of both good and evil.

Adam and Eve had only one “good” genome (the same image of God) made in the image of God but with an increase in the body of knowledge from the Tree of Knowledge, because of Eve’s transgression with the “Serpent” in Lucifer, Cain became a transhuman. What was different about him? His two “books” were edited by the Wicked One. His genes were changed to giantism (Gen 6:4) and his mind altered to do as he willed and to go as he pleased, as his name means (Cain means “Wanderer”).

The whole “library,” (the whole body of knowledge) contained two books — one of good and one of evil. Essentially, the “Serpent” edited the “good” and overwrote the “evil” in the same manner as gene editing.

Before sin, mankind had been “compliant man” but only to God. After sin, and the expansion of the mind, Cain and his “transkind” became compliant to the Wicked One, his “father, the Devil” (Luke 9:42). Therefore, Cain was the first “transhuman” and the full body of knowledge would have become a book of transhumanism. That is the unnamed “book” of Revelation.

God transcribes messages onto the RNA strand, if all this is true, and I know it is high fruit to absorb. The problem is that there are two who write different “codes” on the same “scroll,” and that is addressed in scripture as well! 

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. (Mat 6:24)

 The Word in scripture transcribes onto one “book” with the thoughts of God, and the pleasure of sin (avarice; mammon) over-transcribes it. Sin is the cause of transhumanism and even the failure of the preserved saint!

The aim of transhumanism is spelled out very well: 

“You awake one morning to find your brain has another lobe functioning. Invisible, this auxiliary lobe answers your questions with information beyond the realm of your own memory, suggests plausible courses of action, and asks questions that help bring out relevant facts. You quickly come to rely on the new lobe so much that you stop wondering how it works. You just use it. This is the dream of artificial intelligence.” (Lemmons 1985)

 People who “follow their hearts,” as the saying goes, are transhumans and their thoughts are transhumanism. (Their thoughts are not God’s thoughts; Isa 55:8). They think of themselves as thinking at a higher level, but they remain mere humans with much “beast” in them — the depravity from the transformation of sin.

By overcoming the human nature encoded in the DNA, mankind is on the verge of creating a higher level of transhumans than at any age in scripture.

The Book of Enoch reveals an evil man, Genun, whose mind was expanded by the genes of Cain. He invented all sorts of things to be used for evil: hard liquor, metallic music, and hedonism of all sorts. (Even gene-editing!) Genun was a transhuman whose devices were received openly by those who would expand their minds and corrupt their DNA by marrying into that deviant kind of man.

Lucifer changed humans by genetics. It took centuries to make glorious man, inglorious, and wickedly depraved. Now, transhumanism endeavors to do that synthetically by inventions, high technology, and biogenetics. Transhumanists are at a point that thinking, animated “beings” now exist who consider things and develop expressed feelings. In effect, they are already capable of all things that mankind can do… all but have a soul.

The last step in transhumanism is to provide a soul for the new “machine.” To do that, the bodily shape of man will be retained as well as its biological functions, but the “Scroll of Life” — the DNA — will be altered. With that point made, the “surgical tool” for that is already in the hands of Master Bill Gates. (More on that next.)
