Whom Shall He Make to Understand Doctrine

WHOM SHALL HE MAKE TO UNDERSTAND DOCTRINE?

(THIS IS A TUTORIAL)

September 7, 2010

The title came from where Isaiah asked; "Whom shall he teach knowledge? And whom shall he make to understand doctrine; "Them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.”  He emphasized that Bible learning was through Bible study, and continued with: ”For precept must be upon precept, for precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line, here a little and there a little:" Isaiah 28:12-13

Biblical precepts are statements of truth that God move upon the Apostles, and prophets, to pen on parchment, then bound into a book that we call the “THE HOLY BIBLE,” then they passed it on to us. 

Webster defines a precept as “A command or principal intended especially as a general rule of action, an order issued by legally constituted authority to a subordinate.”

What that means to us is the prophets and Apostles received their messages from God, then they passed it on to their peers by word of mouth. Then as God willed, they penned it down in the form of text and it became Holy Scripture.

The first line mentioned by Isaiah is the letter and the letter is what we see when opening our King James Bible.  Even though the letter serves as a window through which is seen the deep things of GOD, it is a doctrine in its own right.

Doctrine that is viewed through the letter, of our KJV, is a doctrine of depth.  

Now the underlying precept is seen through the eyes of our understanding as Paul taught; he wrote; "The eyes of your understanding being enlightened that ye may know..." Ephesians 1:18

I like to compare the eyes of our understanding to the eyes of the blind; after hearing someone describe a certain object or an event, they say, “I see.” 

When a Bible scholar reads the letter it depends on how well they are versed in the Scripture, as to what they will see through the eyes of their understanding.  Please forgive the crude way that I am about to present the difference between the letter and the doctrine that lies beneath the letter.

But I like to compare the written Word (the letter) to the entrance into the Mammoth Cave.  Yea, through the entrance of the shaft we descend into the depth of the cave.  The letter is represented in the cave’s mouth or entrance, while the lower hidden passages represent the depth of the Scripture.  In case you don’t see doctrine of depth you haven’t studied or read enough of the WORD.  After entering, the cave you descend into a network of under lying passages that branch out into several directions.  Let the cave entrance be the letter while the under lying passages portrays the doctrine found beneath the entrance or the letter.

The letter and the underlying hidden message can't be better explained than JESUS’ answer to Philip after he ask, “Show us the FATHER.”

JESUS’ reply was; "He that has seen me has seen the Father.”
John 14:8  (Now, everything that is visible to the natural eye is the letter.)

Though JESUS was GOD inwardly; He was a man and therefore that qualified Him as being the letter, for all things seen by the natural eye is considered to be the letter, biblically speaking.

Another helpful hint came from where Isaiah stated that the Scriptures are found scattered throughout the Bible. He wrote: “For precept must be upon precept, for precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line, Here a little and there a little:" Isaiah 28:-13

The essence of what the prophet said was; When composing a doctrine you’ll find it “Here a little and there a little; which is to say you will find it scattered throughout your blessed Holy Bible.

Never try to read a single passage of scripture and think that you understand its context.  Moses said to let every word be established from the mouths of two or three witnesses.  That goes well in Bible study therefore take is seriously.

It is common knowledge, to the well-read, that all Scripture testify of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, either directly or indirectly JESUS shined brilliant light on the subject.  He Said “Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.”    Hebrews 10:7

JESUS’ statement assured us that the Holy Bible is all about Him and none other.  He is the WORD of GOD, John said of Him:  “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”  John 1:1

“The carnal mind is enmity against God: and is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.”  Romans 8:7  That means that the carnal man is sensual and that his mind is stayed on things of the flesh and not the things of GOD.  Carnal minded men do not see the underlying messages of God much less understand them. In fact the natural man “Receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”   1 Corinthians 2:14 

If you have a desire to study and understand the deeper sayings of GOD, Here is wisdom: Some remember Brother Bob Jones of Toledo Ohio.   In one of his sermons he said that after you have become well-read and have a desire to put together a doctrine, start with the passage(s) that you thoroughly understand, then add other scripture to them.

I took that saying to heart.  Therefore, I say, if you have a desire to be a doctrinal teacher, you become that teacher, by reading God’s Word unrelentingly. By that I mean read the bible through until you have read it no less than three times and do that in rapid succession.  After reading the Word as prescribed, I believe you will begin to recall scriptures that will come together as a doctrine.

May our GOD be glorified in the sayings. Amen!

 

 

We Then That Are Strong Ought to Bear the Weak

WE THEN THAT ARE STRONG OUGHT TO BEAR

THE INFIRMATIVES OF THE WEAK

December 28, 2010

Our title came from where the Apostle said; “We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.” Romans 15:1   

However first things first, let’s see whom the Scriptures deem to be strong enough to allow them to be the judge.

Did you know that from the time JESUS enters our heart and saves us that we are well acquainted with the principles of CHRIST?  That’s why the Apostle encouraged: “Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection.”  Yea, the principles of CHRIST are the heritage of the newborn babes.     

I believe that, first and foremost, the Scripture teach that a strong Christian is one who has a good understanding of the Holy Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation, inclusive.

 

A reasonable charge came from the Apostle, He said; “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”  2 Timothy 2:15  Then said he: “And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient.”   2 Timothy 2:24

Then he gave the formula for Christian growth.  He said of himself and other established Christians:  “we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; [4] And patience, experience; and experience, hope: [5] And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”  Romans 5:3-5

Then going against all principles that the flesh holds dear, He told those at Corinth; “Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.”  2 Corinthians 12:10  

Now as our title suggests; “We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak.”   God had His way, the weak in Paul’s stimulus, would only apply to the newborn in Christ.  However, that is often not the case, for some were saved decades earlier, but yet they are on the milk of the WORD.  Lest we should believe that we are among the strong and flex our muscles in fleshly pride, the apostle pointed out one of our many weaknesses.

He wrote: “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. [27] And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.” 

Romans 8:26-27 

Not only does the Spirit help our infirmities during the time of prayer, yea, He intercedes for us with groanings when we testify or sing the songs of Zion.  I believe when the child of GOD sings about the way they picture Heaven, and we are aware that the bless scripture say: “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”

That is one time “We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, for it is then that we are not to please ourselves” comes into being.

Therefore what reaches GOD and His throne is what is flowing from their heart and not their mouth. Amen.

However, that is far from the truth in the case of those that write and sing songs that are contrary to the teaching of the Holy Scripture.

Notwithstanding all of God’s good creation sings and testifies of their Creator.

And we fall into that category.

May GOD Bless.  Amen!

 

That Name which is Above Every Name

THAT NAME WHICH IS ABOVE EVERY NAME

September 15, 2008

The title came from where the Apostle Paul said of JESUS CHRIST: “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: [10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippines 2:9-11

In total agreement Peter said: “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12  

And JESUS didn’t tell Nicomedus that he should be born again but, He told him: Ye must be born again.” John 3:7

From what has thus been said, did you sense the value the Holy Scripture placed on the Name JESUS CHRIST? And rightly so for He is worthy.

JESUS Himself decreed the urgency in so much that He told us: “Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.”  Luke 14:23 

Sinners should always be reminded that the LORD GOD said in the Proverbs:

“Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at naught all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.  Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:” Proverbs 1:24-28 

The late Reverend Bob Jones of Toledo Ohio (The Preacher’s Preacher) got it right when he said with a great big smile, “JESUS, JESUS, JESUS is all there is to preach, sing or teach.”  I say a-men to that.   “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. There is something about that name: Wonderful, Marvelous, Master, Redeemer, savior of the world.” Bill and Gloria Gather

May the King of Kings and LORD of LORDS be glorified among His People, forever, and forever Amen!

 

The Introductory to the Biblical Beasts

THE INTRODUCTORY TO THE BIBLICAL BEASTS

 

Let’s commence this study where the Angel told John: I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: [2] With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.” Revelation 17:1-2

Then in Revelation 17:5 He called her Babylon and said: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Now the woman that had “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT” written upon her forehead was Old Jerusalem.

That was not the first time Jerusalem bore that label.  The LORD GOD rebuked her during the OLD TESTAMENT with: “Thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.” Jeremiah 3:3

And she was no saint for: “In her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.” Revelation 18:24

JESUS laid the blood of the prophets and saints at the door of Jerusalem when He pined: “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!”

Luke 13:34  

Now, Jerusalem of old was to the LORD GOD what the Church is to JESUS CHRIST in these scriptures. In fact He plead with her: “Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:” Jeremiah 3:14

Jerusalem of old wasn’t always rebellious.  Jeremiah said: “The word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the Lord; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.” Jeremiah 2:1-2

THE BEAST AND HIS RIDER  

The Apostle James assured: “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and up braideth not; and it shall be given him.” James 1:5

Knowing from whence cometh my help I took the Apostle’s advice.  After much study, prayer and supplication the Most Holy directed my study to Revelation chapter seventeen verses 1, 3, and15.

In verse (1) one, the Angel summoned John: “Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:” Revelation 17:1

Then in verse (3) three said John: “So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.” Revelation 17:3

Then in verse (15) the Angel told John: “The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.” Revelation 17:15

Now this is to be taken serious. 

John saw a woman setting upon many waters, then in the next scene, verse (3) three, she was setting upon a scarlet colored Beast and then in verse (15) fifteen John was told: “The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.”

Now the essence of what we were shown was that the many waters were a figure of many people.

And the physical bodies of the people served as the Beast, setting a precedence.

GOD called the Beast Scarlet because it was composed of men that had blood on their hands.

THE BEAST HAD SEVEN HEADS:

The heads of the Beast were: Jerusalem’s Pharisees, Sadducees, scribes, the Herodians, the chief priests, Caiaphas the High Priest, Pilate the governor and Herod the king.

THE BEAST HAD TEN HORNS:

The ten horns represent the Ten Commandments. This meant they had the Law on their side.

Now what John has shown, is liken to a panoramic view of what a photographer would take with a still camera.

King Solomon said: “I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.” Ecclesiastes 3:18

And so He has, for all beasts of Revelation and Daniel are made up of a man (singular) or a group of men brought together through a common cause.  This includes the original sin past on by the first man Adam.

Paul called him: “The man of sin” and “The old man” in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 and Ephesians 4:22.

 

 

A Testament is of Force After Men are Dead

A TESTAMENT IS OF FORCE AFTER MEN ARE DEAD

FEBUARY 15, 2012

“For a testament is of force after men are dead; otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.”  Hebrews 9:17

And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.  [23]  It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.  [24]  For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:  [25]  Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;  [26]  For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.  Hebrews 9:22-26 

The Hebrew writer said that a testament is of no strength at all while the testator is alive.   This is why the disciples sometimes appeared to be so weak.  After Pentecost these same men were mighty men for Christ Jesus our Lord.  (Matthew 26:40; Mark 9:18) 

Paul told Titus: “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,”  Titus 2:11

Therefore a mere technicality for our God, for the great Apostle said: “God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.”  Romans 4:17

The LORD told us where He said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.”  Hebrews 4:3   

And again the LORD said: “And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.  Revelation 13:8 

And the great I AM said of His own ability: “I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.”  Isaiah 48:3

How great is that!

GOD reckoned the redemptive work of JESUS CHRIST was in full force from the foundation of the world, else God would not have said:  “As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.”  Hebrews 4:3

The Apostle said:  “Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.”  Hebrews 4:13

And the all knowing, all seeing Almighty GOD saw Calvary eons before the Jews and Gentiles got together to crucified and killed our LORD JESUS CHRIST.  

Thus far we have explored Scriptures which leave no room for doubt that the shed blood of JESUS CHRIST redeemed souls from our first parents to the end of the world.   While at the same time it appeased the ordinance that decreed: “For a testament is of force after men are dead; otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.” Amen and Amen!

In Psalm twenty two (22) the, Spirit of CHRIST that was in David encourage him to record the prayer  He would pray while on the Cross. While on the cross JESUS verbalized the beginning of that prayer , that  said, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” while  praying the  rest in silence.

Here is that prayer, David begin;

“My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
[2] O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
[3] But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
[4] Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
[5] They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
[6] But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
[7] All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head saying,
[8] He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
[9] But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.
[10] I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly
[11] Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
[12] Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
[13] They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
[14] I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
[15] My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
[16] For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
[17] I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
[18] They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
[19] But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
[20] Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.” Psalm 22:1-20  

Isaiah recorded the life and death of JESUS as though it was history, hundreds of years before Calvary.    

And because GOD reckoned JESUS CHRIST to have been slain before the foundation of the world the HOLY SPIRIT moved on Isaiah to record the following as History.  Here’s what he wrote:

“He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

[4] Surely he hath borne our grief’s, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
[5] But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
[6] All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
[7] He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
[8] He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation?  for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
[9] And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
[10] Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.”   

Isaiah 53:3-10

May the FATHER and GOD of our LORD be blessed forever and ever.   Amen!

 

Jesus Christ was in the Heart of the Earth 3 Days and 3 Nights

 

JESUS CHRIST WAS IN THE HEART OF THE EARTH

THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS

June 30, 2009

 

Mark said: “And Jesus began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.” Mark 8:31

And so they did; on Friday the 15^th day of Abib, Luke said: “And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.” Luke 23:33

Meanwhile Luke said: “And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just: [51] (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. [52] This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. [53] And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.” Luke 23:50-53 

Mark said the women went to the sepulcher where they encountered an Angel: “And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.”

Mark 16:6  

Now this document was designed to show that, even though Joseph buried the Body of JESUS on Friday evening of the fifteenth day of the Jewish month Abib and GOD raised Him from the dead early the following Sunday morning; that meant that He lie in Joseph’s tomb approximately thirty-six hours.

Now the Scripture never presents us with a problem that it doesn’t provide the answer, and therefore this is no exception.  

Yea, there is an event that GOD brought about while Moses and the children of Israel were in Egypt.  Well, let’s let Moses tell it.
He began with: And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.

And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:  They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.” Exodus 10:21-23

Yea, since those three days served as light in Israel, even so at the same time they dispensed darkness in Egypt; and served as a type and a figure of the thirty-six hours JESUS lie in the tomb

And since JESUS lie dead for thirty six-hour and counted twice over then that accounted for the fulfillment of the three days and three nights prophecy.

There is yet another means whereby the three days and three night prophecy can be had in truth and that is where JESUS asked: “Are there not twelve hours in the day?”  (John 11:9)

Yea, and since there is twelve hours in the day, of necessity there are twelve hours of night during a twenty four hour day.

With that JESUS established a means where the answer can be had through calculation.

Yea, He was in the tomb thirty-six hours alright for the Kingdom of light, while at the same time He was there thirty-six hours for the kingdom of darkness.

And seeing that they ran concurrently, when combined we came up with three days and three nights.

May the God of Heaven be blessed forever, and ever.

 

As In Adam All Die

AS IN ADAM ALL DIE BUT IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE

(Doctrine on the original sin)

After creating the earth and the things in it, God saw that it was good.  “And 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 creepeth upon the earth.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created He them.

And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day”.  
Genesis 1:26-27and 31 

And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.  And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Genesis 2:15-17, 21-23

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?  Genesis 3:1

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. Genesis 3:6 

And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.  Genesis 3:8

And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?”

And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. Genesis 3:9-10

 

Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.  So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. Genesis 3:23-24

Now the day they partook of the forbidden fruit they died spiritually while their life of their physical bodies were prolonged for a season, and Adam lived to be nine hundred and thirty years of age but there is no record of Eves death.  Genesis 5:5

However Moses said: “And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters.” Genesis 5:4  

Paul said that since:  “Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.”  Timothy 2:14

And therefore said he: “In Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.” 1 Corinthians 15:22 

Therefore death came to all of Adam’s posterity.

GOD chose that the original sin should be passed on to the human race through the father.   And because JESUS had GOD as His father He did not inherit the original sin as did the rest of mankind.    But said David:   “Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.” Psalm 51:5  Not that his parents sinned during his conception for said the Apostle:  “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled”.  Hebrews 13:4-a 

Now that the serpent had beguiled Eve into sinning against GOD, the LORD told the serpent: “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” Genesis 3:15

Now the seed of the serpent was seen when King Herod tried to destroy JESUS as a babe, but GOD sent JESUS away until Herod was dead.   But the Devil never gave up. As John the Baptist was baptizing in Jordan:  Matthew said: “When John the Baptist saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptismal service he ask them: “O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?” Matthew 3:7  

Then just a few days before they would bruise His heel literally as they drove the nails in his hands and feet, JESUS warned them “Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?” 

Matthew 23:33 

Paul said: “For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.” Romans 7:9-14   Through that process the human race became sinners.   When Paul said:  “For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.”

As Paul testified of his own experience, he expressed the fate of mankind because sometime during our adolescence, even as Paul said, we became a candidate for Hell until we invited CHRIST to come and destroy the Devil.  As long as the original sin controlled our lives, we remained a candidate for Hell.   “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.”

1 Corinthians 15:22

Paul told the Thessalonians: “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.”  2 Thessalonians 2:3

JESUS came to earth to destroy him that had the power of death, that is, to destroy the devil;” Hebrews 2:14

The Apostle Peter said that JESUS: “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” 1 Peter 2:24

Now as afore stated: the Devil was one of the names given to the original sin.

John referred to him as the beast with two heads.   And said he: “I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.” Revelation 13:3

Now, since JESUS came to destroy the Devil, it was He that bruised the head of the Devil.  And the remaining head was old Satan; JESUS bound him and cast him into the bottomless pit, our flesh, to be loosed at the death of our fleshly body.

Now be it known to all: THE BEAST is the original sin.

MAY GOD BLESS
