ADOPTION AS CHILDREN OF GOD

Natural born children belong to the parents in a biological manner; they are “connected by direct genetic relationship rather than by adoption or marriage” (Merriam-Webster 2023). Because of sin, all natural born children have the same “father” in origin. Thus, comes the notion of original sin. The father of all natural born children is the “Devil and the lusts of your father you will do” (John 8:44).

First off, common men and women are not sons nor daughters of God. God made Adamic man in His Image, but they strayed from God’s Estate in a manner of speaking; and because the offspring of sinful woman were born feral, they are like cattle; they need to be rounded up and marked in some fashion to identify their legal owner.

“Original sin” is genetic. We are all born with that defect. Eve was beguiled (Gen 3:13), meaning that the Devil somehow… you do the math, introduced guile from himself into her body.

Adam was generated from God of the Spirit of God whereas Cain was born of the flesh of some beast with the spirit of the demon Lucifer within him. Satan was the spirit of guile that imbued the woman, changing her nature from goodness (Gen 1:39) to wickedness.

How did Satan get into the woman to alter her countenance? (nasa in the Hebrew; beguiled).

Let’s examine nasa literally: נָשָׁא.

The letter Nun is characterized by a seed. It points to the letter shin which in turn points toward and ends with the letter aleph. Thus, pictorially nasa is seed – teeth – ox.

The seed indicates that the “Serpent” trespassed on the Garden of God and planted a tare therein to usurp the entire Garden, Eve was changed from the woman of Adam to woman of the serpent-like demon. No longer would Adam multiply in spirit, but the woman (‘issa) would do so via the flesh. (Gen 4:1).

She was from the Spirit of Adam which he shared with her. Like Adam, she was a part of God in Spirit only. From where did the flesh of the woman come? Nasa answers that — another seed was sown in her. The teeth indicate that the Serpent consumed her. Consumed what? The Spirit of God that the Lord sowed in her material, whatever it was.

The letter shin points toward the ox. Simply put, the ox is a beast. Therefore, when she was beguiled, the woman was changed from a child of God to a beast. The “Beast” (Lucifer) had consumed the Spirit of God within her person, and she became a beastly creature who John wrote, had the evil countenance of the Beast, Satan.

Now consider “Lucifer” — the “Beast”. It is from Latin, meaning “morning star” or “bringer of light” (Harper, Douglas 2003). However, Lucifer is the Latin version of the Hebrew word, “Helel” —  הֵילֵל.

Lucifer is breathed as well, and in the manner of God (Yod). The lamed means to teach. However, there are two letters lamed in Helel; that lamed is the tallest Hebrew letter, represents aspiration and reaching for higher spiritual knowledge.

What was Lucifer’s ambition? 

You have said in your heart, “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.” (Isa 14:13-14) 

Helel aspired to be God. In like manner, Lucifer, as the “Serpent,” endowed the woman with the same aspiration. He breathed (somehow… you figure it out), that aspiration into her person. “You will be as gods” (Gen 3:25), it (the Serpent) said. Hence, wicked men still aspire to be gods, and what do they do? Their own knowledge overwhelms the knowledge of God.

So, Adam renamed ‘Issa (the woman) to Eve (Gen 3:20; Haua חַוָּה). Spelled chet – vav – hey.

The letter chet is characterized by a wall, vav by a tent peg, and hey a breath.

Chet implies a covenant, or separation from God. Indeed, sin put a wall between sinful man and Father God that remains to this day; as implied from the letter vav as the binding force rather than the love of God. Finally, the letter hey implies expansion, and so it was as Eve was the “mother of all living” (Gen 3:20).

Cain was born outside the wall, or the covenant of God’s grace. He was a free-range beast like his father the Devil as the land of Nod indicates (a wanderer), not from place to place, but from the knowledge of God.

Because Cain was of flesh, Cain feared that he might be killed like any other beast, so God marked him like a man would brand a cow or other beast (Gen 4:15). All of Cain’s seed would bear the same mark. The mark required flesh, so Cain would have been the bearer of sinful flesh, rather than life that Helel represents.

In other words, Adam’s kind died and a new kind arose from the ashes, called ‘Is from the woman, ‘Issa. No longer are men “sons of God” but “sons of the Beast” and Eve; and our mitochondrial-chromosomes came from her.

The most extreme lie ever is that common men are “sons of God.”

Seth, replacing dead Abel, was a righteous man, but the “sons of God” from the seed of Seth died in the flood. Therefore until now, the garden of  Satan was in the womb of Eve and means that because of genetics, none are sons or daughters of God, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:23).

Adam was glorious since he was created in the Image of God. God breathed His divine Image unto the man, but Helel consumed it so that all men are now inglorious bastard sons of the Wicked One in the manner of Cain (1 John 3:12). The Beast is our “father” the Devil because of genetic, or “original sin.”

Since we are all born in iniquity (Psalm 51:5) there is no way to alter our genetics. That is where Jesus knocks for us; He said, “You must be born again” (John 3:7), or literally; You must be engendered from God above.

That action begins the adoption process. Natural born men (common men) belong to the Devil, Helel (John 8:44). Adoption is not by sexual intercourse nor even lust like you were conceived. Adoption is because of and through the concept of love: 

He that loves not knows not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1 John 4:8-10) 

The point therein is the engenderment by God from above is mediated by the love emanated from Jesus who is God in the flesh. Again, in that passage, many think of biology; that Jesus was strictly born of God alone. However, “son” implies a genetic relationship. Jesus was, and still is, God. In other words, whatever the Substance of God is, Jesus has it in His Person.

Jesus lost virtue as He healed people and made them whole. His goodness was shared to those who sought it, as with the woman with the blood issue (Mark 5). Love is the Dynamic of God and Jesus manifested God to common mankind to make them whole again. What was missing? The Spirit of God that Helel had consumed.

In a legal sense, Lucifer (Helel) kidnapped the first man and woman, and all their offspring would be born in captivity. Earth is where all their offspring are still held captive, but there is one opportunity for freedom — by the grace of God. Jesus said, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32).  

What is that truth? You are not a son of daughter of God. You are of the Beast and the will of the Beast you will do. (Nowadays that is called the “Stockholm Syndrome.”) Men and women held captive by the Devil come to love both him and his ways. Although you are in bondage you are enjoying your stay. You have been brainwashed by the things of the world that your flesh adores and the lusts of the flesh, you will do (1 John 2:16).

Adoption is a new gender assignment. Don’t think in term is male to female and so forth, but from wickedness to righteousness. Born again is reassignment by God Himself as you go from a son of the Beast to the son of God as intended.

Common man and woman were wrestled from the estate of God and taken to the estate of Satan in the world. Although branded as God’s, their preference is to remain in captivity because the desires of the flesh are preferred to the condition of safety in God’s green pastures.

Before a criminal can be freed, first off, he must come to realize that he is a criminal indeed. Those who fail to understand that they live in captivity have been conditioned to enjoy their prison. Planet Earth is the prison, and the Devil its mean-spirited warden. Before freedom can come, those he incarcerates must come to realize that the Devil is deceptive; while you live in pleasure, his evil plan is long term — you shall die in torments (Luke 16).

“Adoption” comes from understanding the truth. Before any child is adopted, he must first understand that he or she has no real parents. Albeit God is here, the lost have not been adopted y Him. He has called, but those who were called have not responded. Adoption is a two-way process; not only does the father want the son, but the son must want the father. That applies to us and the heavenly father as well, “For many are called, but few are chosen” (Mat 22:14).

Why a few chosen in the “election”? Because most are quite comfortable where they are; at least until the death bell tolls; then it is too late.

To live in the Estate of God — Paradise in heaven — all must be legitimate sons of God to inherit a part of His Estate. God has one true Son — Jesus — but room for many more (John 14:2-3). God does not want renters or even squatters, but those who are vested in Him.

Rebirth is that investment and adoption is so that when the Will of God is probated, that those adopted will get a share in the same manner as God’s supernatural-born son, Jesus.

Adoption makes righteous men equal in equity to Jesus in that both have the glory of God in them.

How to tell you have been adopted? By what things attract you. If you still lust after the things of the world, then perhaps adoption was not legal, since you may have play-acted the part by your own self-righteousness.

Adoption is a legal process, and nobody will enter the Way to the Tree of Life by a back door. The adoption must be legal by the Law of Love; you must first love God and share that love with others to be adopted as sons of God.

 

 

EXPLORING THE ORDER OF GIANTS - Part 1

People have a fascination with giants and the Anunnaki, and admittedly, so do I. There must be an explanation for the ancient feats of both strength and intelligence. For instance, how could have ancient men designed and built the pyramids of Egypt, or even the tower whose top would reach the heavens in the days of Nimrod of Shinar?

In previous commentaries, I have explained why I believe the tower of Nimrod seemed to be his quest for space exploration; and that the top of the tower seemed to a separate entity “Nimrod’s Rocket to Heaven; https://kentuckyherrin.blogspot.com/search?q=tower). Somehow, like Enoch, Nimrod may have seen a vision of the heavens and sought to plan a trip for some of his people. (That is not to say that he succeeded, but that may have been his plan, according to The Book of Jasher; that failed miserably.)

The undeniable point is that there are things found in the layers of the earth that ought not be there… but they are. Of course, there were not two creations, so that means we were once advanced, and by “we” that is early civilization.

Ante-diluvian giants would not only be tall, tall men but men of high intelligence. The pseudepigrapha books, The Books of Adam and Eve, speaks of giants and one of them (Satan) got into Jubal and became Genun.

Jubal and his siblings were possibly the human images of Anunnaki. Jubal had Satan in him, so he would have had the whole body of knowledge from the tree of the same name. As such, Genun was a great inventor and Tubal-Cain, his brother, a great artificer with a high degree of technical skills. [1] The giant siblings, Jabal, Jubal, Tubal-Cain and their sister Namaah seemed to have been competitive to Noah who had God in him (Gen 6:8).

The skills of Cain’s seed were named: 

Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle, and his brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ, and Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah. (Gen 4:20-22) 

Jabal was nomadic and a wanderer like Cain (his ancestor), Jubal (Genun) was an inventor, not only of instruments but many things; Tubalcain was a builder who some believe built the first chariot, and Namaah, some say, was Noah’s wife. This may have been the “Anunnaki” family’s beginnings, when people became as gods as Lucifer warned (Gen 3:5).

“There were the giants in those days”(Gen 6:4); so perhaps they were the giants.

We think of giants as only huge people. So, let’s examine the Hebrew word for “giants” — napil, or נָפִיל. The first letter nun is a seed, ostensibly for some life form.

Pev, the second letter, as a mouth, represents both speech and creative ability.

Yod represents the work of God, but also because it is an arm and hand, creative work in general. Hence, giants would have had both a high degree of knowledge and ability.

Lastly comes the letter lamed. That’s the tall, tall letter to the left. Lamed extends from below the “ground” unto the “heavens.” It represents to/from; perhaps from the heavens to the earth — from one realm to another. It also represents distance, or height.

Therefore, it seems that the giants of old were not only huge by the standards of the world, but highly intelligent as well.

During the exodus the Israelites encountered giants: 

And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. (Num 13:33) 

The giants before the flood somehow made it through the flood, hence my book, The Arks of Tubal-Cain. Of course, Namaah could have been the source of giant genes. My book explores all possibilities and that one is included.

Anak was somehow descended from Arba while the sons of Anak were giant Anakim (Josh 14:15). Just who is Arba since he is not found in either the table of nations nor pre-diluvian genealogy. The only mention of Arba came from the name “Kirjatharba” (“the city of Arba”) and is rendered אַרְבַּע. Now, let’s analyze his name.

One letter points to the next, so keep that in mind. Aleph (aka “El”) comes first. It represents the infinite potential before the creation of the world. The pictograph of the resh comes next; it is the face of a man-like creature. Before the creation for man, a creature-like man may have existed as Arba.

Next comes the letter bet. Coming from that creature, bet represents blood or genetics as well as flesh.

Lastly comes the letter ayin — the eye for observation, perhaps implying that before that the creature was beyond observation in another realm.

Could that mean that Arba was an angel who took on bodily form in the same manner that Satan took on bodily form in Jubal/Genun? If so, then Arba would have been the creature which took on human shape and intelligence. Somehow the word Arba means four. The only significance of that is that number four means completeness. (I checked that with CoPilot AI and it concurs; Arba, among other things, is “the father or chief of a family tribe” — an archetype; “embodying strength, authority, family, and vision.” Could the “four” represent those four characteristics of giant alien beings?

Let’s also consider Anak himself and the Anakim. The mem at the end of Anakim is not just plural but genetics. Anakim are all of the bloodline of Anak whether it be immediate sons or his lineage.

Anak means “neck” (Strong 2006). Whether long or not is not spelled out. That Anakim were lizard people is preposterous in the same manner that the “Serpent” was not a snake but a snake-like image (nahas). The letter nun in that Hebrew word is a seed, or a sperm striking. The Serpent would have been the genetics of the creature that “knew” the woman to make her the new kind, Eve (Gen 3:20).

Anak עֲנָק might clarify who the giant Anakim might be. From Arba’s ayin comes Anak’s ayin first in his name. Anak would have been observable in the manner of his father.

The second letter is the nun, representing seed and sperm. Remembering that Arba was the whole, then Anak was part of the whole. Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai were the sons of Anak portrayed in the Bible. Arba was divided into four people who were all giants.

Of utmost importance in the name Anak is the last letter qof. It can mean before time began or even before observable reality.  [2] If Arba was the first observable, his seed nun in Anak would be from Arba who once was not observable, then he was!

Arba’s family of giants would have been the origin of the giants in those days (Gen 6:4) before the flood. The Anakim, observable to the Israelites, were once not observable before the flood.

Arba also implies “father” in the same manner as Abraham. Abraham is called “father” of peoples, so Arba might very well be the “father” of the giant race of men that appeared on Earth sometime between the creation and the flood.

Goliath would have been the son of Arba in genetics.

(The next commentary will be about the giant Goliath and his three brothers — the four brothers from the seed of Arba.)

ON THE ORIGIN OF COMMON MAN

Recently, there have been discoveries of craniums believed to be human but not quite human. Some have postulated that early kinds of human-like creatures had children. That is not necessarily evolution but hybridization.

Man is a special kind of creature.

Surely early manlike creatures had thoughts and the will to survive like all the other animals, and as such were intelligent beings. Research in the last two centuries has revealed that animals have intelligence but different levels of intelligence. Some believe that animals can even love. Of course, they would love their masters who they could sense, but the animals are not equipped with one human sense — the ability to sense God.

It's a shame, but translation has thrown Judeo-Christians away from the “sense” that is only within mankind; it was Adam’s kind who are above all the other animals, to wit: 

(KEY VERSE) God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the Earth. (Gen 1:26) 

Now, let’s critically examine what God said. First off, “us” is not in the Hebrew. So, who is us is not even a discussion, and the same applies to “let.” God does not require permission to create; it was by Him and Him alone. He was the soul existence. “Let us” would not include any form of either man or animal to help God, so only God is sovereign.

Translated “man” the Hebrew word is Adam. That was not just a man’s name but his kind as you shall see.

Some say “Adam” means the color red, so if He was made from the ground, it was assumed red clay. Pure clay is inorganic and if that is true, the first man would have not been organic and would have no DNA within except from God. I have proposed that godly DNA is Y-chromosomal but surely the “Image” of God was the chromosomes (Light) of God.

“Adam” is literally אָדָם, read from right to the left: aleph (el) - dalet – mem.

The first characteristic of Adam was “El” — the one true God. Adam had the very substance of God within, and it was not material, but some kind of power. The defining Power of God is divine love. Therefore, Adam could love God because God and him were both good… virtuous.

The letter dalet comes next. Characterized by a tent door, dalet implies many things. One of them is opportunity. Adam would have been the “elect” of all the creatures defined in Genesis 1:26. Dalet, from a creation standpoint indicates entry into space/time and matter. In other words, God within him would exist in another form, not just power but a mass of material. Adam would have been both a spiritual being and a material meaning.

Lastly comes the closed mem at the end. The final mem in a word indicates a closed womb, among other things. Of course, Adam had no mother, so the final mem is quite fitting.

Adam was simply the “son of God” meaning that his blood was the blood of God, and that He was the “house of God” in a genetic sense. That should explain the words of Paul: “So it is written, ‘The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit’” (1 Cor 15:45).

Jesus was the “last Adam.” Adam was meant to be the last Adam but because he sinned, Jesus would be. Jesus at his death said, “It is finished” (John 19:30); there would be no more “Sons of God;” and he was the last opportunity — the dalet, or door: “I AM the door; by Me if any man enter in; he shall be saved” (John 10:9).

Adam was meant to multiply; not by coitus, but by spreading the essence of God. As such, all men would have been sons of God because it was them that God elected.

“Dominion” is election. Rada (dominion) means “to rule” and “dominate”.  Specifically, it means “to crumble off” (Strong 2006). Adam was indeed a “particle” of God as it were, for God breathed life unto him, and that would have been a “crumb” of His divine Image.

Hence dominion has much hidden meaning in both English and Hebrew.

Rada רָדָה is spelled resh – dalet – hey. Resh is specifically the face and head of a man. Dalet is the potential, or opportunity and hey is the breath that God breathed things into existence. The resh made the creature “Adam” a man. Adam, having dominion, was the man-creature with God in him. None of the other creatures were that kind, so Adam was the chosen one of all the potential kinds that God would create.

In an earlier commentary, I went through the same critical analysis for “creeping thing.” Obviously early translators were limited in their knowledge. “Creeping” implies slow movement or growth and generally upon the ground. For instance, both vines and sloths are creeping things that slowly move on the ground. However, they are things of lower states as well — both vegetable and animal. For instance, a comatose patient is a person in a lower state of consciousness.

With that said, could it be, as I came to realize before, that the “creeping thing” in the key verse was man in a lower state of awareness? He would not be an “Adam” man but a “remes” in the Hebrew. The letter resh coming first indicates that a remes was like a man because the pictograph is the face of a manlike creature. In the key verse, Adam had dominion over the Remes thing. Remes, unlike Adam, had no God in it.

Adam was conscious, and aware that he was from God. Remes was not of God and would have looked like a man but not having the conscience of God. Remes would have been a beast which looked like a man but without a conscience.

Consciousness is awareness that one exists. Since God is the “Existence,” Adam would have known that God was his Creator and Master. Remes, a being without a conscious, would be a lower state of man, not Adamic but beastly in nature.

Who is it that Remes describes? The other kinds of manlike creatures: now-extinct hominin species. “Hominin” implies beasts that resemble men, or as science has it; lower states of man from which mankind came.

God made Adam, but his kind ceased to exist with sin, so what sins were included in the original sin? Cain was of the Wicked One (1 John 3:12) and from Genesis 4:1 that new kind, from the Hebrew, was ‘Is (man; pronounced eesh) coming from ‘Issa (the woman).

Cain would have been a hybrid of man and some thing else.

Even his Hebrew name implies that: Qayin, wherein the letter qof represents separation. Qayin קַיִן implies two parts: yod and nun, or the work of God and uncertainty from the seed of some Thing.  That “Thing” was perhaps the creeping thing with the Devil, Lucifer, in it — Lucifer within the Remes-man.

If that analysis is true, then modern man would have indeed descended from Neanderthals and such who would have mated with anything that they desired.

More than irony, the letter qof also represents monkey; not that we are literally from monkeys but another kind of manlike creature. “Monkey” would imply not quite human.

Because mankind is from the beast and “The Beast” (Satan), then our hybrid kind are depraved, but not totally so for by grace, homo sapiens still have God in their hidden parts — the soul, called the “heart” by the apostles.

Note that “heart” does not refer to the organ but the central hidden faculty — the “soul”. The soul is the potential vessel (or “cup”) that when born again, not of creeping things, holds the invisible Image of God.

The intent is not to support evolution for that theory purports that man has improved and the fittest survived. However, my analysis points toward devolution. Mankind (Adam) was not just “very good” (Gen 1:29) but glorious and after original sin (genetic) we all come short of the glory of God (Rom 3:23). Why so? Because we resemble beasts outwardly more so than God. What’s more, after all these generations of sin, within we resemble Satan more so than God.

Jesus came to correct both our origins and our future, according to the prophet Jeremiah.

We do need to humble ourselves and let the Lord light us up (Gen 4:1 — lift us from this lower state in which we were born to a higher state; and reborn of God.  Jesus carries God in Him. He is the same quickening (life-giving) spirit that was in Adam to make him a living being with a soul and can do that with us as well.

That we are like Cain with the blood of some beast in us, then if that does not humble you what will? Jesus is the only correction for our lowly, sorry state in this generation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IS HELL A STATE OF THE MIND?

Death is the fear of nearly everyone. Tribulation enables people to welcome death for death is the escape mechanism to avoid trials and tribulations. However, it is also a mechanism to continue in tribulations, or “torments” as Hell is called (Luke 16:23). 

It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment, so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him, He shall appear the second time without sin unto salvation. (Heb 9:26-27) 

Recently a famous Christian actor, Kirk Cameron, denied the existence of Hell. For those who are not Christians, once dead, he believes; always dead. That state of “existence” is just non-existence.

Once dead, according to the lost, all the faculties just dissipate as if the dead ones never existed, having no signs of them forever after. It would be like the process of fission wherein matter is converted into energy which just dissipates itself.

However, if scripture is examined, the rich man of whom Luke wrote was in a state of torments, to wit: “In Hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom” (Luke 16:23).

Luke wrote that there was a “great gulf” in heaven between Hell and the Bosom of Abraham (Paradise). Heaven is characterized by the Hebrew letter qof. Qof reveals the whole divided into two. Hence, qof separates visible reality from invisible reality and is very descriptive of “heaven.”

Now for more about death and dying… John envisioned the second death: 

The fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (Rev 21:8) 

Cameron is partially correct; since annihilation is burning and so is death, then the process is like annihilation with one exception… eternity. Jesus said this about death and Hell: 

And if your hand offend you, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into Hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched, where their worm dies not and the fire is not quenched.

And if your foot offend you, cut it off; it is better for you to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into Hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched, where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.

And if your eye offend you, pluck it out; it is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into Hell fire, where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched. (Mark 9:43-48) 

Jesus was implying that pain here is nothing compared to pain in death. He indicated that the Kingdom of God is painless (even pleasurable) but Hell is both fire and forever.

(In other words, Eden was Paradise in both realities but sin qof’d them.)

 Hell is not just annihilation but always undergoing the process of annihilation and never achieving complete annihilation. How could that be? Torments are neither energy or matter; torments are thoughts that are transmitted by energy.

Have you ever suffered pain in your dreams? Have you ever awakened in fear or even pain? Have you experienced terrible things time after time in your thoughts or dreams. If so, those are torments.

Severe burn victims, it is said, experience the burns over and over again. Torments are anguish; “extreme pain, distress, or anxiety” (Merriam-Webster 2023). Anguish is mostly a cognitive state.

The rich man in Hell revealed that his mind lived on there; he saw and recognized both Abraham and Lazarus in heaven. Think of his anguish; he was in Hell, even if it is a mental state, but he could see others in comfort, or even pleasure.

Not only that, but since he could not stop his own torments, the rich man worried about his brothers who were still alive. He knew they would join him there, but Jesus could not comfort his agonizing over his lost brothers.

Imagine yourselves… envision yourselves in Hell but seeing your children bound for the same place. Although you are in pain, your agony for your family would torment you day and night forever, and their own deaths would agonize you even worse in Hell where the soul never dies. Your soul is immortal and the only way for you to burn eternally has nothing to do with your bodies, but your souls in their terrible mental state.

God cautioned Adam about sin; “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 shalt surely die” (Gen 2:17). They ate and they seemed to have not died. How can that be? Hidden in the English translation is a very crucial bit of knowledge. “Surely die” is mistranslated. Literally, “You shall die, die” (mut; mut). God was validating two deaths: mortal death and spiritual death. The idea of the second death comes from the creation epic.

The body will die once but the soul lives on. Just what is it that Jesus saves? At “the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls” (1 Pet 1:9). That new incorruptible flesh is not the corruptible flesh that you wore to exist on planet Earth (Gen 3:17), but immortal flesh for pleasure in heavenly Paradise for only those who are going there.

Both Christians and non-Christians will sacrifice their fleshes but both will retain their souls. The first death is of the flesh, but the second death is not just dying, but forever undergoing annihilation by a fire that never ceases to burn for the flames are mentally as real as real fire.

Where Cameron gets it wrong is that the annihilation, like the ancient fire on the altar of God, never goes out: “The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out” (Lev 6:13). The fire was for the sacrifice of animals. Animals are beings without souls. The fire of the altar symbolized the burning of Hell fire which will never go out.

Scientifically, fire requires material to burn. Once the material is consumed, the fire goes out. Perhaps Hell fire is not the burning of bodies, but immortal souls which burn but are never consumed.

Christians should not fear the first death for that is their means of escape from the second death. Paul called death for himself, “gain” (Phil 1:21). Why so? Because he would miss the second death of which God warned Adam.

The first death is temporary because the body decays and then it is over. The second death is wherein the fire never goes out, because anguish cannot be extinguished.  Hell-fire is perhaps not real fire but a mental state.

My own father knew a man who suffered fire as he was dying. Although the fireplace was nearby, he said that he felt Hell burning. It was not that the flames were engulfing him, but that in his mind, he was already, as a wicked man, approaching the flames of Hell, and even said so in some of his last words. He was not experiencing flames but the soul undergoing an annihilation that would never end. That may be “Hell.”

Generally, Hell is ambiguous for translators. With that problematic, the best thing to do is to look at the ancient Hebrew pictographs for “Hell” (She’ol in the Hebrew).

With that in mind I had CoPilot AI create the following chart for me.  (It interprets the Hebrew pictographs into a literal definition of Sheol which is interpreted “Hell” in English.)

 

 As you can see, literally translated “Hell,” it is a consuming fire (primal energy) which is all encompassing (controlling). The lamed (staff) points toward another realm from Earth to the heavens.

As Enoch saw it, Hell is in the third heaven, hence Sheol is not through the ground but into another realm where the fire burns forever. Fire on Earth consumes organisms, whereas in Heaven, things exist but are never consumed (in the manner of fallen angels).

According to Jesus (Luke 16), Hell is for real, albeit it is not a real state as defined by science. Since the souls of men never die, then neither do their minds.

As you could detect by both the rich man and Lazarus, although their bodies were here, their minds were elsewhere, in Hell and Paradise, respectively. The fires always burning will always be living flames because in the other realm there is no matter as we know it here. The flames there burn but never annihilate.

Now, we shall tackle the literal meaning of “die” (mut; מוּת); mem – vav – chet).

Using the same process as AI, let’s do so for mut (pronounced mooth).

The letter mem represents many things: water, blood, genetics, scatter, and so forth.

Vav is a connector (a tent peg) between things: heaven and earth, then and the future, God as Yahweh compared to God as the Messiah, as well as man as a soul verses a physical man. (The dot changes the sound from waw to oo.)

The letter chet provides the “th” sound and means “separation,” among other things.

Recall a previous commentary wherein I defined the worst separation of all — apostasy from God. In science, it is called “quantum decoherence” and in the context of creation, the separation of realms. Hence, death is transference from one realm to another, and since chet comes at the end; that is the end of the end in the second of the two deaths (mut’s).

“Decoherence” is a collapsing of one state to another in passing from this world to another. In other words, the body gives up the Holy Ghost as it often says in scripture, as the states of man collapse into one state in another realm; either Paradise of Hell which are both in “heaven” as Enoch saw it.

Paul offered some clues about the heavens: “I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knows); such an one caught up to the third heaven” (2 Cor 12:2).

Paul was not sure that man, whoever he was, was in heaven or on Earth. However, Paul knew that he was in the third heaven. In like manner, from The Book of Enoch, Enoch saw the third heaven as one place but in different realms. However, Enoch realized that heaven was Paradise or Hell without regard to physics. In other words, Hell is not on Earth but is as near as your location wherever you are.

Going to heaven, either Hell or Paradise, is just passing through the eye of the needle (the Hebrew letter qof). That letter represents two existences as one characterized by a circle split by a line. In the context of creation qof represents beyond observable reality, implying that heaven is for real but not observable to the naked eye.

That Adam was naked and not ashamed (Gen 2:25) may imply that he could see beyond the physical realm of heaven, and indeed, the sacred Book of Adam and Eve supports that idea.

In like manner, after sin, they were naked and ashamed (Gen 3:7), perhaps implying that they had lost their bright eyes and could not see beyond the real estate. Sight of half the Kingdom of God was lost to them.

Because of sin, neither can sinners see unto the heavens.  Heaven is for real — both Hell and Paradise in heaven. Tribulation in this realm, as Jesus indicated, is not even a fragment of what it will be like in the other realm.

Jesus will come for the rapture of Christians. Him and Him alone will translate the souls of those in Christ unto another realm to Paradise. Those left behind can plan their trip as well, because on judgment day, their crimes against God will be revealed to them before they die the second death.

That Kirk Cameron dismisses Hell so flippantly, makes God a liar, and Satan the objective truth. What would Satan want you to believe? Any fool can see; Satan would not want you to believe in a real Hell.

Now close your eyes and think about a Hell that is simply complete annihilation. That means that the human soul is not immortal and that once dead, you would no longer exist in either mind, body, or spirit. The rich man realized that his mind would never die, hence his mind was more spirit than flesh, or even his brains.

The brain is made up of flesh, but it just holds the cognitive network. Hence, the brain is just a vessel for cognition to exist within, and it is protected by the cranium; and it is the shield here on Earth. The mind is not real estate at all by an electronic network. While dying, the brain dies, an example of “quantum decoherence,” as the cognitive network changes states wherein the body and brain are both dead but the mind lives on in another state of being.

I imagine heaven in this manner: a mind within a vessel that resembles yourselves. From where did that silly (sic) idea come? When Jesus was baptized with the Holy Ghost: 

The Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a Voice came from heaven, which said, You are My beloved Son; in You I Am well pleased. (Luke 3:22) 

Note that the motion was dynamic like a dove, but the Spirit was in the bodily shape of the man, Jesus. That Spirit would have contained the Goodness (Virtue) of God — Good Thoughts. Jesus may have been imbued with the whole Mind of God at His baptism.

Jesus did not suffer death while on the Cross. The crucifixion began with agony, not for Himself but for us. Jesus suffered Hell for us so that we need not. Thus, Jesus annihilated both death and Hell.

“The Place of the Skull” (Golgotha) was not just coincidental, but that the Cross was the shield of God (Calvary, or cranium in the Latin.) Jesus had been the “Cup” or “Shield” who had the Mind of God within. Like the soul, the mind never dies, but both the soul and mind, decoherent to the body. Paul saw that happen with some man!

 

 

 

 

ON THE HERESY OF CALVINISM

Calvinism is the doctrine of reformed churches that came about because of the reformation of the Roman Catholic Doctrine which was believed to have been smothered by the law. Sin was easily forgiven in the Catholic Church, not by grace, but by indulgence wherein sinners could pay for their sins. Note that was not the problem of Christianity, but a Catholic doctrine.

Pardon, for the reformers, was “by grace alone,” called by theologians the Latin sola gratia. The concept of sovereignty is paramount in Calvinism as it should be, for only God is Lord and King.

Soon, the Pope of the Catholic Church became both lord and king, as the “king of kings” and Pontifex Maximus of the house of Roman lords. Hence, the Pope is to them the sovereign and was called “Pontiff” or the “bridge” to somewhere; apparently the mediator to God instead of Jesus as is written,  “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Tim 2:5).

Hence, the doctrine that God is sovereign and His Person, Jesus is Mediator, is of extreme importance to Catholics and Christianity.

“Sovereignty” means that Jesus is King and Lord; in fact he is even “King of kings, and Lord of lords” (Rev 19:16), not the Pope as his title and status among kings of the Holy Roman Empire implied. In other words, the Pope is just a common man with no more authority than any Christian (1 Pet 2:9). However, this commentary is not to attack the flaws of Catholicism, but the doctrines of Calvinism which doctrine is described by the acronym “TULIP”:

 

·         “T” — Total depravity (all are spiritually dead since original sin)

·         “U” — Unconditional election (God selects people based on His own sovereignty and people have no merit to determine their own fates.)

·         “L” — Limited atonement (The atoning death of Jesus was not to secure salvation for just anyone, but only a limited number, the “elect”.)

·         “I” — Irresistible grace (The elect only receive grace and only they can be saved to the extent that that grace is irresistible.)

·         “P” — Preservation of the saints (Those truly chosen will be preserved to the end regardless of their faith or anything else and it is impossible for them to fall away (apostasia in the Greek.)

 

Without going into every point, the “election” is not truly election but control. God controls who counts, and whatever is His decision goes, regardless of the plea.

Only God is good. We can agree on that; can we not? However, is it good to condemn someone to Hell just because he or she exists?

Under Calvinistic doctrine, God needs no evidence and would sentence some to Hell and demand others obtain heaven without regard to anything. The doctrine of “election” would make God a tyrant on the order of Hitler; He would holocaust the innocent along with the criminals as mere casualties.

“Limited atonement” would imply that Paradise has only so much room and without a “room at the inn,” the Christian is not welcome and would not have a room reserved for him, in contrast to the good God. Speaking to His disciples, Jesus said:

Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in Me. In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; I go to prepare a place for you, and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself that where I am, there you may be also” (John 14:1-3)

His disciples were those who chose to follow Jesus. He was telling them that there was room for them in His Father’s House.

Theologians think of that as a room in Paradise; but remembering that Jesus is the “House” (Bet) of God, then Jesus was promising that they be “sons of God” in like manner. That “House” would not be material but the genesis of the Lord God, meaning those who are “born again” (John 3:7; literally “engendered from above”); (Strong 2006). In other words, all who follow Jesus to their deaths will inherit Paradise. God calls everyone, but whether to follow or not is a crucial decision. Paul wrote about the fairest “election” of all:

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty; for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. (1 Tim 2:1-4)

First off, Paul exhorts “all men” to be godly. Secondly, God accepts all men who follow Him to be saved. God is not a dictator at all, but the concept of irresistibility makes Him one.

Those who follow Jesus, in the Calvinistic lexicon, are merely robots going where Jesus goes. They are no more than modern drones programmed to follow Jesus without any thoughts of their destination. Why would they need to know since they were merely mindlessly following like an instinct that God programmed into them. As such, irresistible grace makes disciples no more than “Stepford Wives” rather than consciously choosing their grooms.

Many Christians are now turning to Calvinism because it removes all critical thinking on their own part; it is just that wherever Jesus went, they would follow. Jesus went into dens of thieves and inns of sin. Mindless Calvinists would follow Him there as well, but apparently, they forget that they are not God.

God provided only mankind with a fragment from Himself as the word “dominion” implies (Gen 1:26), according to Strong’s (ibid). The “election” was in the beginning before the foundation of the world as it is written: “According, as He has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world; that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love…” (Ephes 1:4).

So, where should anyone look to see who was elected? To Genesis before the foundation of the world was finished. Before the foundation of the world was finished, God selected Adam’s kind, to wit: 

God said, “Let us make man in our Image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth” (Gen 1:26) 

God chose man, Adam, to be like Him. Dominion means a part of Him. Adam (mankind) was part God and part man, so after sin he was partly depraved, not totally so.

Gone unnoticed because of translations are the “creeping things.” Those would not have been animals that crawled at all, but a lower state of anthropoids. (I submit they may have been Neanderthal and Denisovan men — manlike animals.) [1]

The “creeping thing” in the Hebrew is remes (רֶמֶשׂ). The letter resh implies a man; the mem blood, waters, or semen; and the shin fusion. Mem also represents genetics in the blood. What did God miss in creating creeping things? Nothing; He chose not to put His Image in them and hence, they were surely lower states of men. The Sovereign God chose Adam and his kind, not any earlier forms that looked like men. That was surely the “election” of which Paul wrote, and it was found before time even began with the advent of sin. Does that not make sense?

Early man was instinctual like the animals; and it was them who were the robots, not Adam’s kind. Animal behavior can be predicted because it is in their nature. Mankind cannot be predicted unless they follow Satan; hence, the mindless people of modern times who go wherever the mob goes!

The Image of God seems to have conveyed to Adam the Will of God. Adam’s kind, as was demonstrated by original sin, went wherever they wanted to go despite the Presence of God. God had not made robots who mindlessly followed. However, Satan was surely in some early form in a lower state than man, who would have been mindless animals going wherever nature would take them, just as Cain demonstrated in his wandering to the Land of Nod.

God did not make automatons; He made humans!

The last commentary was about “quantum entanglement” wherein it was explained to be “in Christ.”

“Entanglement,” it was said, was following Christ and being like Him.

Now consider the Calvinistic doctrine of Preservation of the Saints.

First off, what might a “saint” be?

David wrote, “The Lord loves judgment, and forsakes not His saints; they are preserved for ever but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off” (Psalm 37:28).

The English word “saint” is in Hebrew hasid (חָסִי). Catholics make saints of men, so consider the “saints” of God. “Saints,” in general, are kind people of God (ibid). Examine the letters of hasid for the literal meaning; the first letter chet means separation. The letter samekh coming next means protected, or preserved, and lastly, the letter yod means work by the hand of God. Hence a “saint” is a person preserved (made safe) by God. However, safety and saved are two very different concepts; Christians are kept safe (preserved) unto the time of salvation.

According to David, wickedness would cut them off (Psalm 37:28). Wickedness is a gradual thing; a cutting off or falling away (apostasia). That the wicked shall be cut off implies that before, they had been preserved. Paul wrote about apostasy:

If they shall fall away (cut off; apostasy), to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh and put Him to an open shame. (Heb 6:6)

Apostasy means “to defect.” To defect from requires affection before. That affection is for both the love of God and man.

Affection for God is love, and hence, the Image of God is the love of God. Cain seems to have had affection for God because he prepared an offering to Him. Because he was jealous of Adam and quite unkind, he not only cut Abel off, but himself as well. Cain defected from God and became a free-range beast like the early creeping things; becoming an instinctual, half-depraved man on whom God had mercy and marked him (Gen 4).

Cain had fallen away, but not all the way away, albeit part of him was depraved and part not.

There is much evidence that God does preserve the saints — those who have affection for Him. However, preservation is not salvation, and saints are those who remain kind to God; not the wicked who have turned away.

According to the Psalm, saints are those who remain righteous to the end. That is for whom there is salvation: “He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved” (Mat 24:13) and the wicked shall be cutoff because they are required to follow Jesus all the way to the end.

Those who are dead in Christ are saved first when Jesus comes again (1 Thes 4:16). That is not dead to Christ but those who have not turned wicked and retain Christ in them. They are quantumly “entangled” but that state can be dissolved.

So far, the argument has been purely biblical but does Bible match reality; said to be exposed by science?

An earlier commentary discussed both quantum entanglement and decoherence. Below it is repeated for your convenience: 

Quantum entanglement breaks primarily through “decoherence,” which happens when entangled particles interact with their environment (heat, light, other particles, magnetic fields), causing their fragile quantum link to collapse into classical states. The most direct way to force it to "break" is through measurement, which collapses the shared wavefunction, projecting the system into a definite, but now classical, state, destroying the entanglement between them. (Physics Frontier 2025) 

That very well describes wickedness; it too is the influence of the world on Christians. Like particles of the cosmos, Christians are “fragments of God: as explained earlier — God is in Christians just as He was all Adam’s glorious kind were meant to be until sin interrupted.

The use of science does not make science pre-eminent to God who is sovereign, but that God seemed to have used science to do all things. Would He not for Re-creation if He did so for the Creation?

The world interfered with the female of Adam’s kind. That was a case of “quantum decoherence.” Albeit Adam was preserved until the Redeemer came, Cain went his own way away from God. God branded him like the “animal” he was (Gen 4:15), so that he would not be killed for meat like any other animal.

He was marked, surely because he was a lower state of man, but still a man. He was a man with just a particle of God in him but with a particle of Satan as well. He was not totally depraved but had enough “God” remaining in him that God preserved him, but after the foundation of the world; although preserved, Cain vanished to Hell with the flood. Why? Because Cain became the Wicked One (1 John 3:12).

He had been of God but turned on the part of himself that still had a fragment of God in him. Within the world, he had lost his affection for God and did as he willed. Cain was cut off because he fell away from God. That perfectly describes “decoherence.” Apostasy therefore is decoherence! Apostasy is a quantum change in states from righteous to wicked.

Much evidence of that exists even in modern times as young children are preserved by God according to His divine purpose, but then the actions of the world surround them, makes them incoherent to the Voice of God.

The evidence is that quantum decoherence reinforces the concept of apostasy.

Christians should belief that once saved; always saved, according to the Bible, but the point of contention is, When are disciples of Christ actually saved?

Paul elaborated on that as well: “Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls” (1 Pet 1:9). “Safety,” or preservation, is until salvation, and the souls of Christian saints are saved when faith ends with either the death or the rapture of Christian saints.

Thereafter, eternal security is promised. When still alive, saints must watch and pray, “Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Pet 5:8). How could you be cut off by the Devil, if you are alive but already saved? That is irrational and the belief of mindless people. If you are a Christian, you are in jeopardy of the machinations of the evil one. God will keep you in a state of safety, but the Devil may cut you off!
