A chapter from a new manuscript of mine about the hidden things of God:
SIN
The most
offensive thing to a person, even Christians is that he is a sinner. Suggest
that to about anyone and that person will put a barrier between you and him.
Telling someone that he is a sinner is like saying, “You are a deviate” and
indeed sinners are deviates.
About Jesus, it is said to anyone
who might hear:
He (Jesus) is the Rock, His work is
perfect for all His ways are judgment… a God of truth and without iniquity,
just and right is He.
They have corrupted themselves; their spot
is not the spot of His children, they are a perverse and crooked generation. (Deut 32:4-5)
“Spot” therein would not mean just spotted but would be blemished, and
of course not perfect but with defects.
In like manner “generation” would
not be this generation, but the degeneration from Adamic man to common,
mortal men and women. By then mankind of Adam had become degenerates and that
was 3500 years ago. By now what was once a glorious man has drifted to
animalistic behavior.
I’m not proud of the times that I
have been tempted, but nowadays because of technology, people are drawn to look
at degenerate things:
·
Drag shows
·
Nudity
·
Murder
·
Pornography
·
Blasphemy, and such.
Compare human beings to the animal
kingdom, and ask, “Which is worst, the beasts or mankind?
Some say, “I have not sinned.”
Sin even includes thinking on those things:
You have heard that it was said by them of
old time, “You shall not commit adultery;” but I say unto you, “That whosoever
looks on a woman (or man) to lust after her has committed adultery with her
already in his heart. (Mat 5:27-28)
God is not hard of hearing; even
in secret places, God knows your thoughts. Even contemplating sexual activity
is adultery, “You shalt not commit adultery” (Exod 20:14) — a command of God
for your well-being.
Adultery seems to bewilder
people. In the Hebrew, it is נָאַף naʼaph:
·
Nun (נָ): pictographs of a seed,
·
Aleph (אַַ): an ox,
·
Pev closed (ף): the mouth
Literally, that can bring up many
awful ideas. However, a seed would include semen, the ox like a
beast, and the latter emissions, since the mouth emits thoughts.
Even nocturnal emissions are
unclean in the Law of God; specifically in Deuteronomy 23:10–11 and Leviticus
15:16. A nocturnal emission renders a man ceremonially unclean until evening,
requiring him to wash and remain outside the camp.
Even wet dreams make a man unclean
like swine, so any manner of ejaculations intimate that humans are unclean
animals.
Saying you are without sin is
like claiming to be perfectly clean; defecation is even sinful as humans,
unlike animals, must clean themselves.
All biological processes are
unclean because without Jesus, human beings come short of the glory of God.
Mosaic Law existed so the Israelites would know they are genetically unclean
and biologically like the beasts of the field.
We sin because we exist in the
world. If you say you are without sin, to God you would not exist to Him. For
over 400 years sin was so rampant in the world, that God remained silent. God
was still with them but remained in silence because of their offenses.
We all have sinned and come short
of the glory of God because we are not the sons of God like Adam, but offspring
of the Devil into us by degeneration.
Think rationally as you consider
your own biology: You are more like a beast than like God. With that said, or
even thought, “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift
you up” (Jas 4:10).
It is not that God will raise you
to a higher elevation, or even status, but that He will change your state of
brutishness to one of righteousness. He will rebirth you to make you whole
again.
How is that? Sin robbed Adam’s
kind of God, and after the original sin, common man’s kind are just like the
other beasts; more intelligent but blinded to uprightness.
We all may walk upright but
spiritually and morally, we are degenerates.
John Calvin saw mankind without
God in him as totally depraved. That should be questioned because rebirth (“born
again”) ignites a long past cold ember that begins to build a fire within lost
souls.
Pev in the word for
adultery has much meaning. It is not just sexual, but spewing hatred, as James
the brother of Jesus expressed it:
Even so the tongue is a little member and
boasts great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindles!
And the tongue is a fire, a world of
iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defiles the whole body,
and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of Hell, for every
kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is
tamed, and has been tamed of mankind, but the tongue can no man tame; it is an
unruly evil, full of deadly poison. (Jas 3:5-8)
The tongue can’t be tamed by
any man because it only enunciates the things going on in the mind. James
saw that the tongues of men will spew things even the beasts would not do. Man
has tamed even some serpents, but no man can tame the tongue for it expresses
the will of the Serpent (John 8:44). Only One can tame the tongue and that is
God! Man is both a little lower than the angels, and by now, a little lower
than the other beasts.
Mankind often do so many things
sexually that even animals will not do! It is common, mortal men that are the
beasts and like their genetic “father” — the Beast.
So, to say that any of us is
without sin diminishes God to a liar. Even Christians who still sin are liars “If
we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us”
(1 John 1:10). Christians still sin and must repent of each one.
There are various kinds of sins:
of commission, of omission, accidental (as with nocturnal emissions), common
sins, great sins, and so forth, but anyone of them that goes unrepented will
subject a person to judgment by God.
Not mentioned in that list is genetic
sin: “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:23).
How have even the unborn sinned?
Like King David said about himself, “I was formed in iniquity” (Psalm 51:5).
David was a sinner at conception because his DNA had wickedness (iniquity)
within his little starter cell. We have sinned because we do not belong to God
even in the womb. A gracious God, however, accounts for the fact that we cannot
help who we are until we know about Him.
Babies are born lost as members
of the economy of the world. If you reside in the cosmos, you are born a sinner
and are lost to heaven. We are aliens to the world of God until God adopts each
of us as legal heirs (Ephes 1:5); “(God) having predestinated us unto the
adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure
of His will” (Ephes 1:5).
Just when was that “election”?
Rather than natural selection among the kinds, God designated Adam’s kind as the
elect, him having dominion over the other kinds” (Gen 1:26).
In my past writings, I may have
correctly identified our competition in that passage:
·
The “fish of the sea:” realm
crossing beings like the giants from the fifth heaven — Grigori angels.
·
The “fowl of the air:”
Anunnaki, Watcher Angels, Malikim messengers, and even hybrid sky
creatures, the latter as described by the prophet Ezekiel.
·
The “cattle:” other
animals.
·
The “creeping things:”
lower states of man.
God would have selected Adamic
man, not any lower state of beast to have Himself in them.
Sin is all encompassing. Anything
God would not do or even think is sin, or as God said about it, “Your thoughts
our not My thoughts, nor your ways My ways” (Isa 55:8).
We are not only to walk
like God but think like Him. If not, then we sin. Can you even imagine
God watching television or engrossed in social media?
Sin in the Hebrew is חַטָּאָה chaṭṭaʼah.
Now let’s examine that “letterly” (sic):
·
Chet (חַ): a pictograph of a fence,
·
Tet (טּ): of serpent coiled
in a basket,
·
Aleph (אָ): of the head of an
ox. and
·
Hey (ה): a manlike being
with hands raised as if in praise.
In the Hebrew language, that does
mean missing the mark of God, or the Glory of God. However, from an esoteric
(hidden) viewpoint, chatta’ah has the definition of severing the
connection with the Creator, or the state of separating oneself from the
ultimate, essential reality. Atheism, heresy, hedonism, blasphemy, and apostasy
all fit that idea. Even vain thoughts that God is of no consequence would be the
sin of apathy.
Things that would either diminish
God or remove Him from minds would be sin. For instance, I focused so much on
work and genealogical research for years that God was far from me in my mind.
Too much of anything: entertainment, gaming, sports, and even reading secular
stuff will make the person apathetic because those things sever the connection
between the Creator and His creatures. Whether, or not, we are still in God, God
remains our Archetype from whose “fabric” we were cut, although it was ripped and
patched so many times. (There I’m speaking of defiled genetics and still having
God’s grace.)
As such, even precious babies are
born beasts like animals crawling from animals, rather than upright beings
standing from God. As parents of teenagers know, those tots will eventually
turn on you if God is not part of them.
That common man comes short of
the glory of God contrasts with Adamic man who was created with the Glory of
God (Elohim) within him. We are not children of God like Adam but are of
the Wicked One (1 John 3:12) like Cain.
In that sin separates us from the
mark of God, just what is the gracious mark of God?
Cain was guilty, knew he was
guilty, and did not contest God’s curse. He never made any excuses because he
was born “the beast” and did the things beasts will do.
Cain did so instinctively.
Knowing no sin, he still naturally sinned, by murdering his brother — his
keeper — just as any animal might do.
Cain couldn’t help himself, so
God branded him like the animal he was with the following brand:
אוֹת
Pronounced ‘owth there is much meaning in the brand:
·
Aleph (א): the ox but also God
“El”.
·
Vav (וֹ): a peg or nail, also
representing an Adamic man and especially the Messiah
·
Tav (ת): simply the
cross of wood. Finished.
Literally the mark of Cain was God
nailed to the cross. That would be the mark of grace and the only manner that
Cain could return from wandering the Way back to the Tree of Life. There it is —
The crucifixion of Jesus as the hidden mark of Cain. He missed the mark then,
but God’s mark would make him and his seed among the elect despite his sin.
That is “grace” for Cain deserved death but received the same promise as Abel
and Seth. [1]
What is sin? Doing nothing in the
manner of God. Sitting there on your posterior watching football is sinful if
your children, family members, and neighbors are not Christians.
To be a football fan is not bad
but not being a fan of God is sinful.
The mind of a Christian must be clear
of sin, but inebriants of all sorts make minds clear of about everything. Being
sober and vigilant (1 Pet 5:8) is an awareness of God in doing all things, and vigilance
that the unchosen may outsmart you and you may become one of them.
You are not saved! Satan
wants you to believe that your state of being is so profound that sin will not get
you. Salvation is of the soul in eternity wherein the soul never dies. Why be
vigilant if you cannot be harmed? Use some commons sense; the world and your
flesh are your enemies and until you rid yourselves of them, you are always in
jeopardy.
[1] That Cain had the mark of
Christ on him was one of the many pieces of evidence that Cain’s seed would
have made it to safety in my book, The Arks of Tubal-Cain.
