THE MANNER OF DEATH


Of every tree of the garden You mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it: for in the day that you eat thereof you shall surely die. (Gen 2:16-17) 

“You shall surely die” is literally mut, mut, mut to perish, perish, perish. 

Perish is generally though of as death, but more generally is to rot or decay, according to Webster. Perhaps decay, decay, decay means to gradually cease to exist. 

The first decay, or case of decadence was original sin, the second the days of Noah, and the third the decadence in the end as in the days of Noah when any reprieve becomes impossible. 

In other words, decadence is death as the race of Adam slowly perishes. The Bible reveals three incidences wherein mankind ceases to exist. 

“Death” therefore in theology is not the cessation of the heart; in fact as Paul wrote, at least for himself in Christ, “to die is gain” (Phil 1:21). So, most will die for some to live, and for eternity. 

Therefore, it seems that death is degeneration and to be “born again” (John 3:7) , is regeneration. Mankind will die out perhaps in three phases, beginning with phase I — original sin. 

Don’t think of Adam as just one man. Adam was his kind. God was warning that His kind — His favored species — would die. 

The kind of being called “man” was “Adam.” After sin, the male Adam who had named all the kinds of beings, named a new kind: “Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living” (Gen 3:20). 

A new kind was created, not by God, but by Eve who said, “I have gotten a man from the Lord” (Gen 4:1). 

Theretofore, God had gotten a female “man” (Adam) for the male Adam. This time, the woman became the god and Lucifer her Lord. 

Theretofore, God had always been called “The Lord God.” Eve said merely “lord.” The Serpent seems to have been her new “lord.” 

Although both the male and the female were called “Adam” the female has been called ‘issa in the Hebrew. The new kind of man was called ‘is (pronounced eesh) after the woman who became the dominant of the species. 

Thereafter since Eve is our mother, then everyone has her genetics. We think of ourselves as “mankind” (Adam’s kind) but we are as much Eve’s kind. 

Cain was the first degenerate. He was an ‘is of the Wicked One whereas Abel was of the Lord God.

This is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another; not as Cain, who was of that Wicked One, and slew his brother, and wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. (1 John 3:11-12) 

Mankind had suffered the first death; God’s kind had degenerated from Adam’s kind to Cain’s kind in one generation. The first mut (death) was accomplished.

Abel was of God because he was called righteous Abel. God conceived Abel in some spiritual manner like he had Adam in the beginning. 

Abel was the Son of God, perhaps to born to redeem Cain’s genetics. If so, Cain killed his Savior who sacrificed living things for Cain to live.

Both Adam and Abel were of the Lord God, so they were created beings that were alike. 

Cain was more like his mother and the Wicked One. He was not conceived by Adam who only “watched.” You do the math; how the woman multiplied compared to how the Lord God multiplied. 

Abel was the Image of God (selem) with a phantom existence within his body. 

Cain had within himself the image of the “Serpent” — nahas. Not really a “Serpent” but another being that was cunning. Abel was conceived righteous (right) by the Word of God whereas Cain was evil and was conceived in a cunning manner. That Adam was his father is the cunningness of the kind called “Eve.” 

Since she is the mother of all genetically, we are all sons and daughters of the wicked ones. Speaking a parable Jesus said, “The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one” (Mat 13:38). 

Mankind was de-glorified with the first sin; they perished as an Adam and was raised wicked ones. That was the first mut. Mankind have become aliens. That is implied in scripture: 

Speaking to those reborn, Paul wrote, “Therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God” (Ephes 2:9). 

“Foreigners” is also translated as “aliens.” Before they became Christians by regeneration; they had been degenerates thar were alien beings in the world. 

God had redeemed those who were mut — and had devolved into mutant beings. 

To wrap this up, the so-called “Serpent” was not a viper of any sort. It was a alien being from the other realm, named “Lucifer.” The woman had been distracted by the “shiny object” and darkness had got into her!

THE GODHEAD VERSES THE HOLY TRINITY

 

The saying is not "Jesus and God" but just one, the other, or just plain "Holy Ghost" of Jesus with the power of God. 

What follows is sort of an outline for my Facebook presentation this morning.

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:1,14)

Go you therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: (Mat 28:19) 

8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in Him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And you are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power… (Col 2:8-10)

 The Godhead is the “state of being God.” That state is the Holy Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. 

The Holy Ghost is what Moses saw and what came down the day of Pentecost. 

Moses asked God, “"Please show me your glory.”

God replied, “I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you My Name 'the Lord'.” (Exod 33). 

The Glory of God is His Dynamic — His Goodness pass before the eyes of Moses, but God would not allow Moses to see His Face. His face means that he would not turn around for Moses to see His other side. 

It could be that God was revealing Himself and not the other substance of the Godhead, not the bodily shape, or the material substance of God. 

God’s goodness passing by was His Power or virtue — the “Dynamos” of God in the Greek. 

There we have the Godhead or Holy Trinity: the backside of God (the Holy Ghost), the body of God (the Son) and the Power of God (the “Father;” Yahweh

The “Godhead” is God at the head or the Divine Nature in that He is the Creator. (Supra-nature). 

That indicates One True God — the whole of God. 

God was whole at the Creation because the Word Jesus was there as God in the beginning (John 1). 

Jesus pre-existed His flesh. Jesus was there in Name — the Word — but not flesh (Hashem). 

The spoken Word of the Lord was by Abraham, Moses, and the prophets. They were the “mouth” of Jesus, speaking the Word. As such Christ was in them all, not in body but guiding their thoughts and actions. 

The patriarchs were as much like proxies until the Word came in the flesh. They were like loudspeakers of the Words from the Mind of Jesus. 

The One God (Jehovah) has three substances: Power revealed by Light (Light of the world), a Spirit in the bodily shape of a man (Luke 3:22) and Dynamics — the motion like a dove or even a mighty rushing wind, as needs be (Acts 2) 

God was always active in scripture. His activity revealed Power. When God rested, then mankind was on their own in the Garden doing as they pleased without the intervention of God. 

During the 400 years of silence between the Old and New Testaments, mankind was again on their own. 

Then God came in the flesh with no need for prophets. He would speak as God Himself. The Word, Jesus, became flesh and prophecy was fulfilled. 

The Godhead was complete all along. It was revealed in the New Testament; first the Word that had flesh, then beginning in Acts, the Word in Spirit in the bodily shape of a man. 

The Godhead is like a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night but when the Dynamic stops; He is revealed either as a Ghost or a Man. The Dynamic is that He is both at the same time with the other faculties there but not revealed until at rest. Theologians call that Dynamic “homeostasis” — a stableness between independent substances, hence God is not three persons but one Person, One Spirit, and One Power. 

Upon the death of Jesus, the Spirit in the shape of a man was the Ghost of the dead person of Jesus. 

Envision the Godhead like a tree. 

The Tree of Life is the whole tree. The visual body of the Tree is symbolic of Jesus.

The root of the Tree emanates life to the branch or vine. The root is symbolic of the Father from which the tree itself grows. 

The living water (Holy Spirit) flows from root to the tree and its leaves for the healing of the nations (Rev 22:2). 

Hence, the Tree of Life is either representative of the Godhead or the Godhead itself presented as a Tree of Life for our understanding. 

The Tree of Life, the Godhead, and the Holy Trinity are three devices to describe the fullness of God; Him “made whole.” 

“Made whole’ in the Bible is when sinners, lacking the Spirit of God, receive God in Power and in Spirit and are made whole. 

Think not of “Father” as biological but genetic. The “Father” is the root of the Tree whose genes are in the Person of Jesus, and the “Son” is the product of those genes; the growth (vine) from the root. 

In other words, Yahweh is in every nuclear cell of Jesus. Jesus carries the DNA of Yahweh. Remove the flesh and the DNA remains. The DNA is the Identity of God called “selem” in the Hebrew which is the phantom Presence of God. 

As Plato would say, The shadow or phantom of God is a fragment of God that is just as real as the physical substance of God. Jesus sits at the right hand power of God, not beside the Father but within Him.

ON THE BRUTISHMENT OF MANKIND - final

 (continuation from the last commentary)

With Abel murdered by Cain, the fittest survived. Abel had been righteous, but Cain brutish just like the animals that were free-range beasts, so was Cain. He wandered to the land of Nod (Gen 4:16). The land of Nod east of Eden is ambiguous but was “in front” of the pleasantries of the Garden. Nod could be his ability to transmigrate between the invisible world from which his soul came to the firm places, if one looks at the literal meanings of the words therein.

Cain was by then a peculiar kind that the “woman” called “Is” in place of the usual word for man, “Adam.” If that translation is true, then Cain was another kind of being — an “extant” entity as the Hebrew word points toward. He was not a “man” but an image that was alien to God. Hence, again if that is true, Cain was half Luciferin (the “Beast”) and half human being because he was of Eve.

Right now, you may be thinking, That’s crazy talk! Then Saint John must have been crazy as well, to wit: (1 John 3:11-13): “This is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another… not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother, and wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

There is much said therein. Cain was evil in contrast to Abel’s righteousness. That is the same dualism as today; both the lost that are evil and the regenerated are righteous. As such, the “lost” who still wander are like their ancestor Cain, because Abel did not have any progeny. Hence, “The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one” (Psalm 12:2-3).

As it was then, it remains so now because of the sin of the female to which the male concurred. As such, so-called “mankind,” or even “human-kind” are all together filthy as swine. Like filthy hogs, we go where we want to go without restriction, and even the best fences can be rooted under given enough time. Albeit mankind is not swine, we are “beasts” on the order of the original “Beast” that represents the “Serpent” of old. The Serpent was not a serpent at all but the “image” (nahas) of a being with a cunning countenance.

Remembering that God allowed Adam to name the kinds, after sin, Adam named a new kind that devolved, “Adam called his wife's name Eve because she was the mother of all living” (Gen 3:20). That was said before Cain was born. It seems that Cain was conceived in the Garden and as such was the product of original carnal sin.

Of course, it is written, “In the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven” (Mat 22:30). There is no carnal knowledge (sexual activity in heaven). “East of Eden” was before time while Adam’s kind were in the paradisiacal Garden. That supports my contention that time began with sin and in Paradise time does not exist.

However, the point in the making is that there was no sexual intercourse in Paradise until Lucifer came along in an alien body…“Alien” in the sense that Lucifer surely took on the objective image of Adam, and with it, useful “appendages” that Adam-kind had not needed before, noting that the woman was of man without any coitus in some divine process. It would have been a process analogous to photosynthesis, only the light is the Shekinah Light of God that brought life.

Since original sin, “mankind” is a changed species. With Abel gone, with none righteous like him, we all are of Cain who in turn was of the Wicked One. Adam named that new breed of people “Eve” (Haua) from her original female kind “woman” (Issa). So, when Adam named the progeny of Eve, Adam-kind became Eve-kind. That is now the genetic identity of every natural born person, male or female, since Eve is in all the mitochondrial DNA that is passed down to the male heirs with the male no longer “the father of all living,” or it would have been written so.

What about Seth? For some time, the progeny of Seth were the sons of God and were safe in holy Mount Herman. According to several sacred writings (e.g. The Book of Jasher), Seth’s progeny interbred with both angels and Cain’s offspring, and further devolved the theretofore human race.

So, who are natural born citizens on planet Earth to this day? “You are of your father the Devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him” (John 8:44)

Cain murdered Abel then tried to cover his sin when confronted by God. To this day, that is the nature of the “beasts” that are called “homo sapiens” (wise men). Whether humans are totally depraved or not depends on our kind and what they do. In the Book of Jasher, mankind did every devious thing that could be done, notably: imbibing hard liquor, living for pleasure, fornication, sodomy with other men, and even pedophilia with boys.

Genun was the great inventor who conceived so many objects for pleasure. Humans had abandoned the idea of eternal life in Paradise and endeavored to create their own version of Paradise — whatever it was that came to mind.

Over time, God emancipated mankind, and we could choose our own master. Mankind has even rejected Satan, although “it” — that alien — is the progenitor of all and apparently Eve’s mitochondrial-DNA came from Lucifer. Mankind are now the “gods”!

The reason, therefore, why we cannot humble ourselves without God is because sin is new genetics within all human beings unless it has been cast out by regeneration. King David called that genetic predisposition, “iniquity” (Psalm 51:5). It means that David was depraved from the womb. It was in his genetic makeup, and nobody is any different from him.

Just like eating the fruit without the proper organs, apparently Eve used her pudendum for inappropriate intercourse with the alien (alien from God), Lucifer.

Eve sinned against her own person — against her own body for she allowed a foreign being to penetrate what should not have been penetrated. It appears that because of sin, God did give her and the male both digestive and reproductive organs to use for pleasure. A consequence of sin was what? “I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in sorrow you shall bring forth children” (Gen 3:16). Indeed, conception in a virgin is painful, but pain they soon forget because of the pleasure. And to this day, there is sorrow, or pain, in bringing forth children, making a woman question the worth of it; voila; thoughts of abortion. Sexual intercourse was not meant to be, but since our forebears did it, so we too must. Sex is not spiritual but of the flesh and the flesh “god” but be appeased at all cost; even at the expense of others. It is that strong!

Sin exists to this time… Paul wrote, “Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is without the body; but he that commits fornication sins against his own body” (1 Cor 6:18).

“Fornication” was the doing of the woman even as the male Adam watched (Gen 4:1). The first sin was “porno” translated as “fornication.” Adam did not know the woman sexually, but knew her visually doing strange things with the so-called “Beast.” The man watched porno for the first time and was bewitched by it. Now porno is in our genetics.

We often point to the sin of porno as worse that any other, and worse when it is incestuous. Indeed, it is a horrible malady, but sin is not weighted; those who lie, steal, envy, irreverent, and apathetic to God have the same punishment as one who performs pornographic activity. Porn is not only what one looks at but includes the performance.

Eve performed, it seems, with Satan, and the provenance of that was Cain. Adam watched. They both were involved in pornography.

With porno in their genetics, there was nothing that they would not do, so because Eve created a being herself without God (Gen 4:1), she became the “mother of all living” (Gen 3:2) in opposition to God whose intent was to be the Father of all living. Since then, all mankind has become pornographers spreading not “living souls,” but “dying flesh.”

God is gracious; He forgave Adam and Eve because this new kind had lust imbued within their genetic code — their “genome” — albeit incest is still there to be overcome by all. In other words, without God, anybody can be perverted.

Thinking that the end of the world had come with the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot’s daughters did an awful thing; the oldest said and the younger followed: 

“Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.” And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, “Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go you in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.”  And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

Thus, were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father

And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day. And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day. (Gen 19:32:38)

 

Satan got into the minds of all three; Lot and his two daughters. Lot became unsober and non-vigilant and exposed himself both to his daughters and to the wiles of Satan. In like manner everyone now has a challenge, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the Devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Pet 5:8).

Satan was involved in the intrigue, yet Lot was to blame for drinking the wine; he was drugged by his daughters and his own penis turned against God and toward his daughters.

Lot had been right with God as he was abhorred with the homosexuality in Sodom, yet he did as bad after he was saved by God from the fire. That Lot’s wife looked back was Satan’s plan for the corruption of Lot. You cannot out-wile the Devil, yet we endeavor to do so much of the time!

Then Lot’s daughters performed their things. Anyone that knows female anatomy understands that the performance of women is based on their arousal. (No wonder rape is so grievous for them!)

Which came firstly… the arousal, or the reason? Were they looking for a situation where it was okay to perform sexually? That can never be answered, but the Devil was there looking on. He devised a plan to arouse the triad. That the world would come to an end, unless they intervened was the plan! So, the two girls became the “goddesses” in the manner of Eve. They created Ammon and Benammi again without God in the picture, just like Eve had created for Adam another non-Adamic being.

The “new world” after Sodom perished made Lot another “Adam” and his own daughters, the “Eves.” Satan had deceived them again, albeit they were righteous enough to be saved from the fire.

Many think they are saved all the while they are in even more jeopardy than before? Why do Christians still sin? There may be multiple reasons, but one might be that they are thought to be “saved” already, so as such, they are vulnerable to the wiles of the Devil.

The girls may have thought that their reason was plausible, but the true sin was that although God had just saved them from fire, they were not saved from Hell. People sin because they have some sort of self-induced mindset of invulnerability; perhaps that God will forgive this sin just as He has looked away from all previous less grievous sins. Admit it; that is true!

Would beasts have even turned to their lord, father, and protector? Not many of them do such things! Indeed, once mankind were like God, but now they are like their “father” the Devil (John 8:44); father in the sense that sin is genetic.

We all have the capability to do the most grievous sins, perhaps the same sins that we criticize in others, given the right time and circumstances. Lot’s daughters made him capable by some type of provocation. It takes stimuli to arouse a man. To thing that a drunk person gets aroused by wine is silly; the arousal comes with activity.

A girl once told me, “I’ll dress however I want; it is the boys’ responsibility to control themselves.”  Inappropriate dress is the woman’s way of controlling men. Of course, the nakedness of a woman is still no excuse for erotic behavior in men, but it certainly does not aid in the prevention of unwanted advances. Neither did righteous Lot have a valid excuse but his lust was in his very genome.

You are no different. Even when the “sons of Adam” were performing all sorts of sex with anyone, Seth’s sons were safely on Mount Herman, according to the Book of Adam and Eve. Although they were far away and nearer heaven than those on the plain, they also lusted from afar, and joined in the foray, even after being told by God that there was no turning back!

Each sin is a rejection of God and almost everyone judges the sins of others worse than their own. When I hear of the wicked deeds of others, I think of my own wicked thoughts for performing sinful acts mentally (Mat 15:18-20) are as severe as performing them really.

Any sin, even incest, can be forgiven by Christ if repented. Repentance is not by word but by deed. It is endeavoring to not repeat it, even given that you might fail. It is trying not to perform acts of sin because “the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak” (Mat 26:41).

Of course, we are never to judge others unfairly… with condemnation (Luke 6:37). Others are to be judged by the same metric that anyone would judge themselves: “For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again” (Mat 7:2).

Lot had been recently saved from the fires of Sodom. He had been righteous, but with the right inducement, even righteous Lot failed.

Then Lot’s daughters assumed that the world would end without their help, and in a sense, they became the gods that would save the seed of Lot, so that mankind could still exist.

Many have experienced the wiles of the Devil without even crediting him. Our own reasoning condemns us. For instance, even if stranded on a desert island, the first inclinations of stranded men and women is not how to be saved, but how to be satisfied; salvation can come after. In other words, the desire to pleasure in sin is stronger than preservation instinct. Sin can even make Christians forfeit their safety in Jesus.

God put on flesh to experience something; what was it? To feel the genetic pull toward sin that came from original sin. He knows it is hard to overcome the Devil because of our own flesh but that the Spirit is able.

With that said, the solution to sin is to remain in the Spirit and out of the flesh. It is up to people to do that, but it is possible. Although it seems to be impossible for us, but with God all things are possible (Mat 19:26), given enough faith and care on our parts.

God does not ask us to do the impossible because all impossibilities are in the flesh. He does ask that we turn to Him for the things that are impossible for us!

That lust is of the heart seems vague, but it lingers in our minds. The deceiving spirit of Lucifer since original sin is ours via genetics. We are indeed like our genetic archetype, the Devil, just as John wrote. We think that we all are children of God. but we are born of the genetics of the Devil. We do things that is in our genes from the beginning (John 8:44); People are not humane kinds at all but the wicked kind. Everyone is a degenerate and to think otherwise is irrational. Everyone is more like beasts than beasts themselves.

Humans are the only kind that are aroused by watching others perform. When the woman “encountered: the Serpent, Adam watched (Gen 4:1). His sin was pornography. He would have been aroused by what he was witnessing. Pornography has been on the minds of everyone since!

Porno must be satisfied. Some even turn to inflated dolls or some other mechanical means. The only real satisfaction comes from knowing Jesus, seeing what He would do to overcome our sins.

“Cheap grace” means that when Jesus died for our sins, we still think we can sin and not be held accountable.

Each sin denies the propitiation of the blood of Jesus for our “sins that are passed” (Rom 3::25), meaning the genetic sins because of original sin of Adam and his woman.

Men received their mitochondrial-DNA from Eve, the mother of all living, and the source of our genetic code. We sin because Eve sinned; it is in our blood, our flesh and our minds. Eve’s genome is in every nuclear cell or our bodies, and what did she do? She engaged in carnal knowledge, I believe, with an alien being from another realm!

That was the worst sin ever, so why would it be a surprise that her son, Cain, engaged in sex with his twin sister, Luluwa, according to sacred literature (Adam & Eve LXXIV).

Lulawa was even more beautiful than her glorious mother! The beauty of his own twin sister made Cain lust after her! That was his most egregious sin, because his intended was Aklidia, the righteous twin of Able. Cain hated Lulawa because she was not ordained to be his wife, so he denied the will of God and took her anyway.

The beauty of the fleshes of the other genders caused Cain to do an awful thing. He forgot who God was and did his own will. Cain became the “god” of the Earth and the king outside the Garden. Lust has prevailed since time began!

I believe that time began with the first sin when Cain was conceived by his father, the Devil. So long as we have Eve’s kind of genetics in us, we can still sin.

Jesus was aware of that, so He propitiated His own Blood with His righteous and glorious genetics in every nuclear cell of it to displace the genetics of the wicked one.

The point is that those types of behaviors are genetic. All humans are capable of repetition of all the original sins. (I believe that somehow the original sin was a violation of all ten tenets simultaneously).

“All have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:23). That includes everybody, the “whosoever” in John 3:16. The point is that many are inclined to find fault with others all the while our less cardinal sins are excused by the accusers. Everyone must judge themselves by the same metric that we judge others. Repeated for you not to forget:

Judge not, that you be not judged for with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why behold you the mote that is in your brother's eye, but consider not the beam that is in your own eye? (Mat 7:1-3)

Whatever sin that can be done, any human is capable of the same doing. You cannot help yourselves, nor even change yourselves, because the awfullest sins imaginable are in the genetics of everyone until they die to themselves and are born again (John 3:7). Only God can alter who mankind turned out to be after the original sin that was passed down to all people.

So, you judge others harshly? “Judge not, and you shall not be judged: condemn not, and you shall not be condemned: forgive, and you shall be forgiven” (Luke 6:37).

You can even murder to cover bad behaviors! Cain did just that. He kept things from God, thinking that he would not be caught! Even king David murdered to cover his sexual sin.

Because sins can be covered-up does not make them lesser sins. Compare what you have done, or even thought. Are you not corrupt as well?

“Well,” you say, with indignity “I would never do such things as others do!” Neither would I… unless the flesh becomes weak, even when the spirit is willing to comply (Mat 26:41).

Even the best Christians are capable of evil doings! Adam even had God within him when he did awful things. To think you are beyond that, then you are in danger. Speaking of myself, when I was performing the best with God, was when I was attacked. I thought I was safe from the Wicked One, and when I thought that temptations of all sorts overwhelmed me.

Worth repeating is that when speaking to the Christian elders, Paul wrote, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Pet 5:8).

Nothing is beyond human capacity because the Devil has been in all of us. Sometimes my own thoughts offend me; that is the sin to our own selves. When I compare the sins of others to  my sins that are past, I wince because I too deserve death, but by grace God has forgotten what I cannot!

Paul, and even several prophets wrote about sin, “"I will forgive your iniquity, and I will remember your sin no more” (e.g. Jer 31:34). Not that God erases His Mind but that He will not hold past sins against you. He knows that they are part of our kind.

“Iniquity” is the performance of sin due to genetics. Like David, we too were “shapen in iniquity” (Psalm 51:5). That is us all, and the minds of everyone wander like Cains, and like Cain, everyone endeavors to cover-up what they have done.

That does not make secret things right but should encourage everyone to judge others by the same metric because everyone has been depraved, even Christians.

It is easy to accuse others of serious crimes but any violation of the standards of God are morally criminal crimes that must be recompensed. Jesus served our sentence for everyone already, but most will still reject reprieve.

So, you have not fornicated! Everyone has. When anyone sins, that is fornication against God, ”For you know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus for this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that you should abstain from fornication” (1 Thes 4:2-3).

How so? The Church (all true Christians) are the “bride” of Christ, the “Bridegroom” (Isa 62:5), “As the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over you.” Sin is fornication against God because rebirth is the nuptials. The temptation is the flirting with other gods, and the sin consummation, having intercourse with unknown gods.

Flirting is not the problem but the danger. “Every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death” (Jas 1:13-14).

James was preaching to the Church — the assembly of all Christians. He said that even we are subject to temptation and the outcome may be sin and from sin death. Death is Hell. Yes, even Christians enter unto unsafe places where their unsafety may be their ruin.

So, you say that you are saved? Satan tests that on a regular routine. He does not pull you away, but your lusts do. It is you, not Satan, that trespasses against God. Whether you lie, steal, or do the most awful things, unless they are repented of, the penalty is death. Repentance does not come before the trespasses but afterward.

Beasts do not trespass and neither do those who are not Christians. They belong in dangerous places. Only Christian can truly trespass.

For years, I indicted myself. The “lost” do not do that because they account to no one. They each are kings of their own domains. Only Christians can trespass because trespassing has direction.; it is going out of the Will of God and each sin is a trespass further away from the throne of God. Satan’s idea is for you to go so far away that you become lost just as you were before you found the way.

I have lusted and still do. Generally, when I lust, thoughts of God contain me within His territory. However, when thoughts of God are dim, then sin ensues. God does not convict for the brief thoughts but for the consummation of sins, either mentally or reality.

Of course, those lustful thoughts are not the Thoughts of God but your own because Satan is the “Old Man” within that is in your natures.

God does not blame you for having the Old Man within, but only for not keeping Himself out.

Of course, the “Old Man” is the creature that deceived Adam. However, if you want the creature out, God will drive him out.

Those who are comfortable with the Beast within are lost outside the perimeter of God’s domain and the consequence is death. Leaving the protection of God are the trespasses, but if you desire to stay in, God will keep you in the bounds of His Estate.

However, non-Christians are comfortable being free-range — doing whatever they want to do as if there are no kings (Jud 17:6). You cannot trespass against Satan; that would be irrational for Satan has no kingdom. For non-Christians, sin is essentially trespassing against yourselves.

Beasts do what is right in their domain. They copulate at will and are instinctual enough to generally stay away from their kin and humans. They follow rules with which God endowed them. God set rules for mankind; To save me the trouble of discovery, Wikipedia lists forbidden sexual relations: 

The relationships prohibited by Leviticus 18 are:

 

One's mother (Leviticus 18:7)

One's father (Leviticus 18:7)

One's stepmother (Leviticus 18:8)

One's paternal or maternal sister (Leviticus 18:9)

One's paternal sister through one's father's wife Leviticus 18:11 ()

One's daughter (inferred from Leviticus 18:10.

One's granddaughter (Leviticus 18:10)

A woman and her daughter (Leviticus 18:17)

A woman and her granddaughter (Leviticus 18:17)

One's aunt by blood (Leviticus 18:12–13)

One's father's brother (uncle) (Leviticus 18:14)

One's father's brother's wife (aunt) (Leviticus 18:14)

One's daughter-in-law (Leviticus 18:15)

One's brother's wife (sister-in-law) (Leviticus 18:16), with the exception of Yibum

One's wife's sister (sister-in-law) during one's wife's lifetime, even if since divorced (Leviticus 18:18)

 

There are more prohibitions in chapter twenty. However, fornication with anyone not the spouse is forbidden because it is adultery. Furthermore, lust is forbidden as well, “Sin begins in the heart and mind, and people think about sin before committing it” (Mat 15:9).

We accuse others of sinning. We may have not been incestual, but even thinking to the extent of enjoyment is sinful. They are rigid standards, but God is graceful. Christians who think they do not sin lie to themselves: (1 John 2:4), “He that says, ‘I know Him,’ and keeps not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.”

Christians still do sin, but real Christians repent of sin. God reprieves because God’s Genome in Jesus was tempted by the Devil. He knows mankind’s problem and it is our fleshes. We are the “gods” before conversion and gods obtain what they want.

Unfortunately, sex is what so many want, and they will go further than the beasts go to obtain it. The beasts instinctually know what is forbidden but us anthropoids miss the mark. Mankind is worse than the beasts, yet we still call ourselves “humane-beings”!

This commentary was written so that Christians quit excusing our own sins as we are captivated on the sins of others. This commentary by no means excuses any sin because any sin is inexcusable. However, all sin as wicked and is inexcusable, but covered by the blood of Jesus… if Christ is in the person when the death angel comes for them.

Jesus sees the forgiven person as a new creature wherein “old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Cor 5:17). The old guy still looks like he always did, but inside of him, God, “begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ” (Phil 1:6).

When people see a Christian, it is not the finished product that is seen, but what God has begun!  Rebirth (John 3:7) is not completion, but a beginning, of a long process that ends with glorification when Jesus comes again. Christians are expected to be perfect, but sin is so engrained that it takes time. There are no perfect people walking around, so get used to it. Christians are far from perfect because the perfection is induced by Jesus when He comes for those dead in Christ to perfect them with incorruptible flesh (1 Cor 15:52).

What people see is the “Old Man.” However, there is much ado within that depraved body. God is doing a good work.

I am an old guy; God is till doing His good work in me. That does not excuse my sin, but I realize that I am not finished in the long process of glorification but can be when I am resurrected from my sleep.

So, do you still sin? Satan uses every sin to make you still feel unworthy, and indeed we are never worthy of Christ. Because I still sin, sometimes I doubt that I can hold out until the end. Grace is that Jesus will take imperfect me into His realm. I will not be made perfect until Jesus comes again, so I am not perfect, and neither are you, so to judge others is ignoring your own depravities.

Christianity is not complicated. The cessation of sins is genetic, so there is no way we can overcome the world — our genetics. However, Jesus did just that for He said, “Be of good cheer because I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). He did that with our depraved genetics because up until this decade nobody, but God, could reidentify us by gene-editing.

Now is the time to be humbled by who you are and allow God to lift you up just as James wrote.
