KNOWING WHO YOU ARE

Chapter Two = ;

Knowing who you= are.

The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know w= hat is the hope of His calling.[1]<= /span>

In our previous chapter, we laid the foundation for our understanding of who G= od is. God is a SPIRIT![2]<= ![endif]> A preexisting Absolute SPIRIT!= = [3]<= ![endif]> Therefore, THE SPIRIT God is called Jehovah![4]<= ![endif]> And that there was only one SPIRIT being called Jehovah,= = [5]<= ![endif]> who was Holy and manifested himself in the Spiritual as the Holy Father and= as the Holy Son.= [6]<= ![endif]> And because this SPIRIT was Holy, He took upon Himself the name of <= b>The Holy One,[7] or The Holy SPIRIT![8]<= ![endif]> We also learned that THE SPIRIT'S will was to have a H= oly natural= = [9]<= ![endif]> people, to which He would be their Supreme Holy SPIRIT.= [10]= It would be upon these natura= l people whom THE SPIRIT would bestow His Holy inheritance.= [11]= When we think of inheritance in the natural, we think of properties or weal= th left by someone. However THE SPIRIT is talking about His S= piritual Attributes; His Glory, His Brilliance, His Absoluteness, and His Holiness!= [12]= To create a Holy natural people this SPIRIT Jehovah purposed and dec= reed a Spiritual Holy Son to whom He would be a Spiritual Holy Father! It was fr= om= [13]= this decreed[14] Spiritual Holy Son that THE SPIRIT would generate these H= oly natural people. THE SPIRIT Jeho= vah= [15] not only has the power to decree what = ever He wills, but that He also has the capacity to manifest Himself in what eve= r He purposes or decrees, to bring it to pass. Therefore THE SPIRIT manifested Himself in the Spiritual as The Spiritual Holy Son of God! The first of its kind!= [16]= From which He formed natural Adam in His likeness.= [17]= He also created and the heavens and the earth, the world that natural= [18]= Adam would live in.[19]= Although THE SPIRIT man= ifested Himself as the Spiritual Holy Son= and the Spiritual Holy Father, He was nevertheless one SPIRIT Jehovah Go= d, THE SPIRIT!= [20]= It was by this SPIRIT,<= span style=3D'mso-bidi-font-weight:bold'> in the mirror image of His decreed Spi= ritual Holy Son, that natural Adam[21]= was formed and became a living soul, as the Son of God,= [22]= in flesh and blood!= [23]= Natural Adam was created by = THE SPIRIT to fulfill THE SPIRIT'S desire to have a flesh and blood Holy natural Son from which came THE SPIRIT’S Holy natural people. In this chapter, it will be the flesh and blood natural Adam or = THE SPIRIT’S natural people that we will get to know. Thus inc= reasing our knowledge of who we are.

Blessed be = = THE= SPIRIT= , (The Holy Spiritual) Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,[24]= (The Anointed Holy Spiritual Son,) who (= THE= SPIRIT) hath blessed us with = all (Holy) Spiritual blessings in Heavenly Places,[25] through, <= span style=3D'font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold;mso-bidi-font-style:ita= lic'>(His Anointed Holy Spiritual Son). According as = THE= SPIRIT= hath chosen us<= span style=3D'mso-bookmark:FOOTNOTE_3'>[26] in (The Holy Spiritual Son) before the foundation of the world, that we should be Holy and without blame bef= ore = THE= SPIRIT= in love.[27] Having predestinated us unto the adopt= ion of sons by Jesus (The Holy Spiritual Son), to Himself, according to = the good pleasure of His Will.[28] Having made known unto us the mystery = of His Will, according to His good pleasure which = THE= SPIRIT= hath purposed in Hims= elf. That in the dispensation of the fulne= ss of times THE = SPIRIT might gather together in one[29] all things in The Holy One̵= 7;s (Holiness), both which are in heaven, and which are on earth. In (by The Holy Spiritual Son) also we have obtained an (Holy) inheritan= ce, being predestinated according to the purpose of = THE= SPIRIT= who worketh all things after the counsel of His own Will.[30] That = THE= SPIRIT, our Lord Jesus= (The Anointed Holy Spiritual Son), and the Holy Father of glory,[31] may give unto you the wisdom of THE = SPIRIT[32] and revelation in the knowledge of = THE= SPIRIT’S (Holiness). The eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of THE SPIRIT'S calling,[33] and what the riches of the glory of = The Holy One’s = (Holy) inheritance in = THE SPIRIT'S Holy (natural) people. And what is the exceeding greatness of THE SPIRIT’S power to us who believe,[34] according to the (Holy) working of THE = SPIRIT mighty power.[35] These verses are very descriptive of what THE SPIRIT’S will is for n= atural mankind, even before natural Adam was formed. They also are the foundation = for understanding the first four verses of John Chapter One. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was= in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light o= f (the natural) men.[36] We can readily see that natural mankind i= s a predestined plan of THE SPIRIT,^{^[37]} in which they will be His Holy natural pe= ople,^{^[38]} thus fulfilling God’s will of a Holy Kingdom.

But one[39] in a certain place[40] testified, saying, what is man, [41]that THE = SPIRIT art mindful of him? Or the son of man,[42] t= hat Thou visitest him? Thou madest (natural) Adam a little lower than the angels. Thou crownedst (natural) Adam with glory and honour, and didst set (natural) Adam over the works of Thy hands. Thou hast put all things in subjection under (natural) Adam feet.[43] For in that THE = SPIRIT = put all in subjection under (natural) Adam, He left nothing that is not put under him.[44] In these verses we hea= r the question being asked; what is natural Adam to THE SPIRIT? And it is in these verses that we are inclined to go astray. The He= brew word Elohiym is our stumbling block. In the King James Version, Elohiym is translated angel only one time. That is in Psalm 8, from where these verses= are being quoted. Very few Bible translations dare to translate the Hebrew word Elohiym to anything other than angel in this verse. Why? Because we donR= 17;t completely understand who natural Adam was or who we are! Thus this lack of understanding opens the door for us to be swayed by mans reckoning.<= /span>[45] Because of this poor translation swayed by traditions and lack of knowledge, man has failed to realize who he is.
What is man that Thou art mindful of him, and the son of man that Thou dost care for him? Yet Thou hast made Adam a little less than God,[46] and dost crown Adam with glory and honor.[47]<= span style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'> In the Revised Standard Version, we see one of the few translations that have translated this verse correctly. natural Adam was ma= de a little less than THE = SPIRIT; therefore natural Adam is ranked second in = THE SPIRIT'S spi= ritual order. If we translate the word Elohiym as angel according to tradition, th= en natural Adam would be ranked third. First THE = SPIRIT, second the angels, and then natural Adam. One might ask, what's the= big deal over the Spiritual order or arrangement? Tradition has always placed n= atural Adam below angels, why rock the boat? The fact of the matter is that natura= l man has failed to realize who he is in THE SPIRIT’S Spiritual order and as a result is led away to worship dumb idols,[48] resulting in the worshiping of fallen angels![49] If natural Adam was below angels in rank, then he would be bound by = THE SPIRIT’S law of Spiritual order to worship the angels also. Inste= ad, the angels are to worship natural Adam, the natural Son of God.[50] If we don't understand the Biblical ranking of natural man and angel= s, then we will never understand what the writer of Hebrews is saying in these verses. Being made so much better than the angels, as (natural) Adam hath by inheritance obta= ined a more excellent name than they. For unto which of the angels said = THE= SPIRIT= at any time, thou art= my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to (natural) Adam a Father, and (natur= al) Adam shall be to me a Son? And again, when THE SPIRIT= bringeth in the first begotten into the world,[51] He saith: And let all the angels of = THE= SPIRIT= worship the Son. And of the angels <= /span>= THE= SPIRIT= saith: Who maketh His= angel’s spirits and His ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son He saith, Thy throne,[52] O Holy One, is for e= ver and ever. A sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of Thy kingdom.[53]

There are those who would argue = that these verses are talking about Jesus and not natural Adam. The problem with= that analysis is that they fail to realize that Jesus is THE SPIRIT manifested in the Spiritual as the Spiritual Son of God, and that Jesus, is = THE SPIRIT manifested in the flesh as the second natural Adam,[54]= The Son of God! If we can’t compre= hend this then we will never understand the true meaning of the verse above. And= again, I will be to (natural= ) Adam a Father, and (natural) Adam shall be to me a Son? The word again means to renew or to repeat a previous action. This verse is telling= us that THE SPIRIT is repeating His Spiritual decreed will of; I wil= l be to (natural) Adam a Fathe= r, and (natural) Adam shall be to me a Son! First when He create= d natural Adam in the flesh as a living soul; and again, when THE SPIRIT bringeth in the first begotten into the world= , as the second natural Adam! Remember we are talking about natural Adam = the living soul before the fall, and this understanding will prove to be very important later on when we talk about THE SPIRIT'S restoration of na= tural Adam. If we don't understand natural Adam’s (and yours) predestination and Holy purpose, how then we will ever understand natural Adam’s (an= d yours) restoration? Having predestinated (Adam and) us unto the adoption of sons by Jesus (The Spiritual Son) to Himself, according to the good pleasure of THE SPIRIT'S will.[55] Wherefore (natural Adam) thou art no more a servant, but a Son, and if a Son, = then an heir of THE SPIRIT’S Holiness through The Spiritual Son Adam.[56] If you are of natural Adam’s seed, then you will receive the Holy inheri= tance that goes with it, including the adoption of sons by Jesus![57]= It is of the utmost importance that we r= ealize that when the Bible talks about natural Adam, it is talking about all natur= al mankind as a whole, THE SPIRIT’S natural people! Paul spends ne= arly all of Chapter Five of Romans explaining this phenomenon. For if by one (natural) Adam’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which rec= eive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by = one, Jesus Christ, (The second natural Adam). Therefore as by the offence of the first (natural) Adam judgment came up= on all (natural mankind) to condemnati= on; even so by the righteousness of (the Second natural Adam); the free = gift came upon all (natural mank= ind) unto justification of life. For as by (the first natural Adam’s) disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of the (second= natural Adam) shall many be made righteous<= /i>.[58] THE SPIRIT looks at His natural people as one natural Adam! When THE SPI= RIT commanded (natural Adam), saying, of ever= y tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat, but of the tree of the knowledge of g= ood and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die,= [59]= he commanded all natural mankind also! And when THE SPIRIT comman= ded the second natural Adam; I will not leave your soul in hell; neither will I suffer thine Holy One to= see corruption, he commanded all natural mankind also! If in the Scriptures, THE SPIRIT blessed natural Adam, He blessed n= atural mankind also! If He cursed natural Adam, He cursed natural mankind! If natu= ral Adam was disobedient and allowed the Prince of the air to work in his life,[60] then natural mankind will be disobedient and allow the prince of air to work in their li= fe. However if you are obedient as the second natural Adam, [61] then you will become justified and Holy;= and The Spiritual Father will love you, and (The Spiritual) Father will come unto you, and (The Spiritual) Father will make His abode with you;[62] And again, THE SPIRIT will be to yo= u a Father, and you shall be to THE SPIRIT a (natural Holy) Son!

It is also of extreme importance= that we get a concise functioning Biblical understanding of the term angel befor= e we move on. The Greek word, aggelos, which is translated into English as angel means: a messenger, envoy, one who is sent, an angel, a messenger from T= HE SPIRIT.[63] Tradition exclusively refers to angels as super spiritual beings. Although there are spiritual beings, the Biblical t= erm angel doesn't always refer to them. = ;But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you,= and more than a prophet. For this= is he, of whom it is written, Beho= ld, I send my messenger[64]<= span style=3D'mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'> before thy face, which shall prepare = thy way before thee.[65]<= span style=3D'mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'> There was a man sent from THE SPIRIT, whose na= me was John. The same came f= or a witness, to bear witness of the Light that all men through Him might believ= e.[66] John was an angel! Angel and messenger a= re translations of the same Greek word aggelos. John was sent forth by THE SPIRIT to witness to the world.= [67]= Was he a super spiritual being according= to tradition? No! He was a natural man.[68]= He was a prophet! Now let's go back and reread some of the first verses of Hebrews Chapter One. THE SPIRIT, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake = in time past unto the (natural) fathers by the (natural) prophets[69] (Angels, messenger), hath in these last days spoken unto us by The Spirit= ual Son, (The Second natural Adam), whom THE SPIRIT hath appointed heir of all things, by Whom also THE SPIRIT made the worlds.[70] Just like John the Baptist the prophet,= the Prophets mentioned in the verses above are angels. That is, they were messengers sent forth to witness to the world. Not super spiritual beings, = but natural men.= [71]= With this knowledge, we can read on wit= h a greater understanding. Being made so much better than the angels (super spiritual beings or natural pro= phets), as The Son hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than the ange= ls (super spiritual beings or natural prophets). For unto which of the (super spiritual beings or natural prophets) said THE SPIRIT<= i> at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I w= ill be to Him a Father, and He shall be to me a Son? And again, when THE= SPIRIT bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, He saith, and let all the Prophets of THE SPIRIT worship Him.= And of the angels (super spiritual beings or natural prophets) TH= E SPIRIT saith, who maketh THE SPIRIT'S angels (super spiritual beings or natural prophets) spirits, and THE= SPIRIT'S ministers a flame of fire.[72] The Prophets of old, of whom Moses was = one of the greatest, were great natural men of THE SPIRIT= , ministers, servants, and a great flame of fire. Nevertheless, those natural= prophets were made by someone, and that someone was THE SPIRIT in whom they w= ere to worship and minister for. Wherefore, Holy (natural) brethren, partakers of the Heavenly (Holy) Call= ing, consider the (Holy) Apostle (Prophet messenger sent forth) and High Priest of our profession, (the anointed Holy One Jeh= ovah savior, The Second natural Adam); Who was faithful to THE = SPIRIT that appointed Him, as also Moses (a natural prophet messenger sent for= th) was faithful in all his (natural body)house. For this anointed Holy One was counted worthy of more glory than (natural) Moses, inasmuch as He who hath builded the (natural body) house hath more honour than the (natural body) house. For every (natural body) house is builded by some (natural) man; but He that built all things i= s the anointed Holy One And Moses verily was faithful in all hi= s (natural body) house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to= be spoken after; But the (anointed Holy One) as a son over His o= wn (natural body) house; whose (natural body) house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.[73] Moses was as a servant, for a testim= ony of those things which were to be spoken after!= [74]= Moses was a prophet servant, but did no= t qualify as a Holy natural Son! But Moses spoke of those days when; thou art no m= ore a servant, but a (natural Ho= ly) Son, and if a (natural Holy) Son, then an (Holy) heir of TH= E SPIRIT through The second natural Son Adam.[75]

Let's go back again in our search of who we are, to Psalm 8, and look= at the model pictured there. Thou madest (the first natural Holy) Adam a little lower th= an THE SPIRIT.= The term little lower, means that Adam was created from and exactly like THE = SPIRIT,<= ![if !supportFootnotes]>[76] but that the first natural Holy Adam, unlike THE SPIRIT, is lacking the ability to be self existing! The first natural Adam was not THE SPIRIT that is self existing, the master designer that built a= ll things! The first natural Ada= m could not continue living without THE SPIRIT! The first natural Adams eternal existing depended wholly upon his abiding in the self existing S= PIRIT. The first natural Adam can build a house, a body for a spirit to dwell, but= he can not construct an everlasting self existing spirit!= [77]
When Jesus, manifested in the flesh as the second natural Adam, was asked who He was, He answered: I and my Father are on= e.[78] Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, Many good (H= oly) works have I shewed you from my (Holy) Father. For which of those (Holy) works do you stone Me? The Jews answered Him, saying: For a good (Holy) work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy,<= /span>[79] and because that thou, being a man,[80] makest thyself (equal to The Holy One Spiritual Father) God.[81] Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, you are = gods? = [82] If THE SPIRIT (God) called them gods (and sons of The Most = High), unto whom (mankind) the w= ord of THE SPIRIT came, and the scripture cannot be broken. Say you of Him (Jesus, the second Adam), whom the Father hath sanctified as The Holy One’s<= /span> (Son of The Most High), and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said,= I am the Son of THE SPIRIT?[83] When Jesus answ= ered that He and the Father were one, He was saying that He was THE= SPIRIT <= span style=3D'font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-style:italic'>father, manifested in= the flesh[84] as Adam, the son of God![85]= And when He said; I said, you are gods, He was saying that you also are manifestations of God’s natur= al seed sons! When the Jews answered with, because thou, being a man makest thyself The Holy One= God, shows that they partially understood what He was saying. They knew He was implying that He was The Holy One, THE= SPIRIT <= span style=3D'font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-style:italic'>Jehovah= ! But then like today, they had no idea who they were in THE SPIRIT’S order. Jesus, = trying to broaden their understanding of who they were, asked several unanticipated questions. Is it not written in your law, THE SPIRIT God said you are god’s= , (and sons of The Most High)? And you are gods (and sons of The Most High) because THE SPIRIT called you (sons of The Most High)<= /span> to whom the decree[86] of THE<= /span> SPIR= IT= came, and if the scripture cannot= be broken, then why are you opposing me as a Son, being equal to THE SPIRIT? J= esus is telling His opposition that they were predestined to be equal, to be Hol= y! To be god’s seeds! To b= e God’s sons! This is a quote = from Psalms 82= . THE SPIRIT have said, you are Holy Spirits and all of you are Son's of the most High, Holy SPIRIT.[87] Where did THE<= /span> SPIR= IT say that they were gods, = Holy Spirit Sons? = Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness, therefore God (Son), thy God (father), hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.= [88] The Hebrew word Elohiym, therefo= re God, is translated God, the same Elohiym given to THE SPIRIT. In Psalm 45:7, the w= ord fellow (natural man) qualifies man to be called gods! The problem comes from the interpretation of the Hebrew word chaber, when translated into English as fellows. The Hebrew word chaber (fellows) means: united, companion, or to k= nit together as one![89]= Most people think that what is being said in Psalm 45:6-7 only appli= es to The Holy One Spiritual Son God, but it also applies to all His fellow= natural sons! We all are to be Holy[90] but The = Holy One is Supreme God![91] We are all kings, but The = Holy One is King o= f kings; and we are all priests, but The Holy One is The High P= riest. We all are to be gods; for though = there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods m= any, and lords many). But to us there is but one SPIRIT Supreme God, The Holy= One, the Father, of whom are all things, a= nd we in Him, and one Lord Jesus, The Holy One Son, by whom are all things, and we are mad= e Holy by The Holy One Son= .[92]= Because we are Holy, t= here is only one that we can consider as our SPIRIT Supreme God<= span style=3D'font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold'>, The Holy One.[93]= If we call anything else Supreme God, then we are practicing idolatr= y. THE SPIRIT has purposed to make a Holy people, where He will be their Holy One Supreme= while living together in Holiness. If = man was made lower then the angels (tradition's super spirits), or anything else for that matter, then man would have to worship any and = all things that would be above him. If the angels (tradition's super spirits) w= here made higher than man, then they would be practicing idolatry by worshipping man. Once we understand this, then we can comprehend what is being said in = the following verses about a fallen angel called Satan. Who oppose= th and exalteth himself above all that is called god = (God’s natural seed) or that is worshippe= d (God THE SPIRIT).[94] So that he (Satan), as God = (THE SPIRIT) sitteth in the temple of THE SPIRIT<= /st1:PlaceName> (you), shewing himself= that he is God THE SPIRIT.[95] If you are a son of THE SPIRIT, t= hen you are to be Holy and the angels (tradition's super spirits) are to worship you. And THE SPIRIT said, let us make Adam in Our image, after Our Holiness and let them= (all mankind) have dominion over the fi= sh 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 <= /span>THE= SPIRIT created Adam in His o= wn (Holy) image, in the image of THE= SPIRIT created He him, male = and female created He them.[96]

(The Holy sons) standet= h in the congregation of The = Holy One. (The= Holy sons) judgeth among (The Holy people). How long will you, (Holy sons), judge unj= ustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. Defend the poor and fatherless= ! Do justice to the afflicted and needy! Deliver the poor and needy! Rid them ou= t of the hand of the wicked! They know not, neither will they understand as they walk on in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are out of course. I = have said, you are (Holy sons)= of The Holy One. But you shall die like men (corrupt man), and fall like one o= f the princes (Satan). Arise, O (Holy sons), judge the earth, for t= hou (Holy sons), shalt inherit all nations.[97]
When THE SPIRIT says lik= eness, He is literally recounting an exact Holy copy of Himself. When He says dominion, He means that natural man is superior and is to have ruled over <= b>THE SPIRIT’S creation. The first Adam was to judge the earth and not accept the (any) persons of the wicked! Adam was to be as THE SPIRIT= [98]= while manifested in the flesh.[99]= So if you would have seen the first Ada= m, you would have seen THE SPIRIT, his Father! That is why the Second Adam said; have I been so long time = with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me, the second Adam, hath seen the Father![100]= Both Adams were to be ambassador or the emissary of THE SPIRIT! We are so fearful to reali= ze who we are, that we are blinded to the scriptures. In Psalm 82, The Holy sons standeth in the congregation of The Holy One, and judges The Holy people. How lon= g will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? The Holy sons are to judge! They ar= e to love Holiness and hate wickedness! However we are taught "judge not le= ss ye be judged". If we do not comprehend the above verses then we will n= ever be aware of what Jesus is saying in these verses. Woe unto you, scribes = and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay ti= the of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the la= w, judgment, mercy, and faith. These ought you to have done, also.[101]

Jesus came into the world not only to save the world, but to be a mod= el of how natural Adam and his seeds were predestined to be. Therefore; Let this mind be in you, which was also in The Holy One, Jesus (the second natural Adam). Who, being in the (natural) form of THE= SPIRIT, thought it not robbe= ry to be equal with THE SPIRIT.[102] For who hath known th= e mind of the Lord, THE SPIRIT, that he may instruct Him? But we have= the mind of The Holy One.<= ![if !supportFootnotes]>[103]<= /span> We have the mind of The Holy One, therefore being in t= he form of THE = SPIRIT, we should realize that we are equal to THE SPIRIT. And that THE SPIRIT formed (na= tural) man out of the dust. Man is to = be the form of THE = SPIRIT, manif= ested in the flesh. THE SPIRIT is invisible, but is going to manifest Himself through man.[104]

What did Jesus the second Adam teach while He was here on earth in the form of THE = SPIRIT? = Man (THE SPIRIT’S Holy people) shall not live by bread alone, but by ev= ery word that proceedeth out of the mouth of THE= SPIRIT.[105] And; Thou shalt worship The = Holy One thy SPIRIT Supreme, and Him only shalt thou serve<= /i>.[106] Jesus made it very cle= ar that while being equal to THE = SPIRIT, man was to live in obedience and service to his creator, THE SPIRIT,<= /span> as an envoy in the form of the living Holy One! The Holy sons must adhere to what THE SPIRIT has established with = His decree, Absolute Truth![107] THE = SPIRIT is Holy; therefore the son must be Holy. Because it is written, Be you Holy, for THE = SPIRIT is Holy.[108] This refection of Holiness can only come from The H= oly One’s Holy tree of life. In other words, if your source changes, so does y= our form! That is why Jesus taught: = Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine. No more can you, except you abide in Me. I am = the vine, you are the branches. He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.[109] Along with being called son, Ad= am had inherited= The= Holy One's Holiness. = For if the firstfruit, of The Holy One, be Holy, the lump is also Holy. If the root be Holy, so are the branches.[110] The fruit that The = Holy One expected Adam to bring forth was to serve Him without fear, in Holiness and Righteousness before Him, all the days of his life here on earth![111] And this can only be accomplished by abiding in The Holy One!=

Hopefully having established na= tural Adam's ranking in the spiritual order as a Holy son, second only to his Holy Fathe= r, let us move on and learn more about Adam. But before we do let me remind yo= u of two things we have learned that are very important. First, although I use t= he name of Adam to represent mankind, you can use your own name instead, becau= se what ever THE SPIRIT desired of natural Adam, He desires of you also! Make your reading and studying the Scriptures personal! Second remember that when we learn= ed who God is, we said names were very important because of what they imply. Each = name tells us something about whom we are getting to know. Therefore, an understanding of the name Adam will also help us understand Adam and ultima= tely you! If we follow tradition and believe that Adam means man,[112] then we lose a great amount of knowledge about who Adam is. Let's take some time and learn more about the name Adam,= the son of The Holy One. If we look up the word Adam in any Bible dictionary, we see that it commonly m= eans Man or Mankind, or the first man. It is easy to see why tradition has accep= ted that Adam means man or mankind. However if you look closer, in some of the dictionaries, you will find that the word Adam comes from a root that means= red or ruby. As a result we see a reference to the color red. That is why in so= me of your readings you may find Adam described as possibility red skinned. Ju= st what does the word Adam mean in Hebrew? To answer this question, we must fi= rst learn some brief facts about the Hebrew language. A Hebrew word is made up = of roots and stems, and is read from right to left. A word can be interpreted = as a spiritual statement or, maybe I should say, makes a spiritual statement. Example; Melchizedek means; king of rightness. Emanuel means; God is with u= s. Methuselah means; when he dies, judgment will come. The Hebrew language is considered = by the Jews, to be the Language of Spiritual Holy One. Each root and letter is considered to be a Spiritual message from The Ho= ly One, as we can see from the three previous examples. If this is true, then we ne= ed to search for the Spiritual message in Adam.

In Adam we have the root dam an= d the letter A.= [113] For the life[114] of the flesh is in the blood and I <= /i>The Holy One have give= n it[115] to you upon the altar to make an ato= nement for your souls, for it is the (Holy) blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.[116] If we look up the Hebrew word for blood in the verse above, we will see that i= t is dam, our root in Adam. So the Spiritual message in the root dam is blood. T= he A in Adam represents the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet and is called Al= eph. The Aleph is not pronounced, but is silent, because the Jews believe that <= b>The Holy One is the creat= or of all and before all. Therefore the Aleph being the first letter is emblemati= c of The Holy One. Putt= ing this together and reading from right to left, we get blood and The Holy One. The Spiritual mes= sage in Adam is, The Blood of The = Holy One! The same Holy blood referred to in the verse above, that is given for our atonement! We now have a choice between the traditional interpretation of Adam, meaning man, and the Spiritual interpretation of Ad= am, meaning, The Blood of The Holy One. Therefore, let's try the spirits= [117] and see which one of these interpretati= ons is what The Holy One = purposed. And so it is written, the first man[118] was made a living soul. The last man= [119] was made a quickening spirit.[120]<= /span> First, let's make sure we understand wh= o we are talking about. The first man (Adam) is of the earth, earthy, the second man (Adam)<= i> is The Holy One LORD from heaven.[121] We can see here that we are talking abo= ut natural Adam, The Holy One's creation, and The Holy One Lord or creator Himself. Now we will use our two definitions. The first man, natural Adam, became a living soul. No problem. The last man, or as some say the second man, the second natural Adam, became a quickening spirit. Proble= m! Was Jesus the second or last natural man? Of course not, but since this is = hard to think through, we just let it slide by. Instead of man, let's use The Bl= ood of The Holy One. T= he first Blood of The Holy One became a living soul. Okay. The second or last Blood of The Holy One became a quickening spirit. Jesus wasn't the second or last natural man, but He was the second = and the last Blood = [122] of The Holy One, placed upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for = the soul.[123] Forasmuch as you know = that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious Blood of The Hol= y One, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot= .[124]

The Blo= od of The Holy One or the Blood of THE SPIRIT are one in the same. Therefore we see that Paul is correct in his declaration of the first and second Adam. Why would THE SPIRIT call His created natural son Adam, the blood of The Holy One? Because it is written, be you (natural Adam) Holy; for I (THE SPIRIT) am Holy.[125] And= THE SPIRIT Jehovah LORD, formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of (Holy) life, and man (natural Adam) be= came a living (Holy) soul.[126] I = ask you; what is the spiritual message of formed man of the dust of t= he ground? Once again because of our lack of THE SPIRIT’S knowledge, we have formed our own traditional definition. Man was formed from the dust of the ground or earth. However, i= f we look at the two words, dust and ground, we see that there is a greater Spiritual meaning then just the dust of the earth or ground. The word dust means, minute or pulverized. The Hebrew word, translated ground, is Adamah.= You do not have to be a Hebrew scholar to recognize the word Adam, in this word= . We have already determined that the Spiritual message of Adam was, the Blood of God. Natural Adam was formed out of the totality of all that The Holy SPIRIT was! = In whom all the building fitly framed together g= roweth unto an holy temple in the Lord. <= ![if !supportFootnotes]>[127]<= /span> What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which i= s in you, which ye have of God, = THE SPIRIT and ye are not your o= wn? [128]<= /span>

This is the book of the generations of (natural) = Adam. In the day that The Holy One created (n= atural) Adam, in the likeness of The Holy One’s (Holiness) made He him. Male and female created He them and blessed them, and called t= heir name Adam, (The Blood of God), in the day when they were created= .[129] Therefore, be you not unequally yoked together with unbelievers,= for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath Holiness with Iniquity? And what concord hath The Holy One with Belial? Or= what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of The Holy One with idols? For you are the temple of the living The Holy One, as THE SPIRIT= hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them, and I will be their = Holy One Supreme, and they shall be my Holy people. Wherefore come out fr= om among the unholy, and be you separate, saith The Holy One Supreme, and touch not the unclean thing, and I will receive yo= u, and will be a (Holy) Father unto you, and you shall be my (Holy)= sons and daughters, saith The Holy One Supr= eme.[130]

In order for THE SPIRIT = to dwell in natural Adam, Adam had to have Blood identical to the precious Blood of The Holy One.[131] As the verses above indicate, we are no= t to be unequally yoked. THE SPIRIT is Holy, so natural Adam had to be Ho= ly. The Holy One is Supreme, so Adam had to be Supr= eme in order for The Holy One= to yoke Himself with him. Know you not that your bodies are the members = of The Holy One? Shall I th= en take the members of The H= oly One, and make them the members of an harlot? THE SPIRI= T forbids! What? Know you not that he which is joined to an harlot is one bod= y, with the harlot? For two, saith THE SPIRIT, shall be one flesh. Bu= t he that is joined unto The H= oly One Lord, is one with The Holy One. Flee fornication (the joining t= o a harlot)! Every sin that a man doeth is without the body, but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? Know you = not that your body is the temple of The Holy One which is in you, which you have of THE SPIRIT, and you are not your own? For you are bought with a price, the precious Blood of The Holy One, therefore = glorify The Holy One’s precious blood in your body= ,[132] and in your spirit, which are The Holy One's.[133] Jesus answered and said unto hi= m, If a man love Me (if a man loves My Holiness), he will keep My (Hol= y) words. And My (Holy) Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and m= ake Our (Holy) abode with him. I will not leave you Fatherless.[134] I will come to you.[135]<= /span> Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, except ye= eat the (Holy) = flesh of the Son of man, The Second= Adam, and drink His precious (Holy) blood, ye have no Holy life in you.= Whoso eateth my (Holy) = flesh, and drinketh my <= /span>(Holy) blood, hath eternal (Holy) life; and I will raise= him up (Holy) = at the last day. For my (Holy) flesh is meat indeed, = and my (Holy) = = blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my (Holy) flesh, and drinketh my= (Holy) blood, dwelleth in me,= and I in him. As the living = (Holy) Father hath sent Me, a= nd I live by the (Holy) = Father: so he that eateth Me, even he = shall live by Me. This is that (Holy) bread which came down = from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of = this (Holy) = = bread shall live for ever.[136] And when he had given thanks, he br= ake it, and said, Take, eat: this i= s my (Holy) body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. = It is this alliance of The Holy = One Supreme and= His Holy natural Sons (those walking in Holiness), that we call the Kingdom, th= e body or the Church.

Let me reemphasize three major factors covered in the verses above in case you missed them. First that we = all are called Adams; The blood of God. T= his is the book of the generations of (natural) Adam. In the day that The Holy One created (natural) Adam, in the likeness of The Holy One’s (Holiness) made He him (Holy).<= i> Male and female created He them (Holy) and blessed them, and called their name Adam (The blood of God). Ask yourself this question; who is the their in, called their name Adam? If you are following the majority you will say it applies to Adam and Eve. But does i= t not apply to the entire book of the generations of Adam? This is the book of the generations of Adam! If so that includes you and me! Male and fe= male created He them[137] and blessed them, and called their[138] name Adam.[139]

Second; That we can not enter into the Holy Kingdom of God which out abiding in The Holy On= e. Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, except ye= eat the flesh of the Son of man, (The Second Adam), and drink His precious blood, ye have no (Holy) life in you. Whoso eateth my (Hol= y) flesh, and drinketh my (Holy) blood, hath eternal (Holy) life; and I will raise him up (= Holy) at the last day.[140]= For my (Holy) flesh is meat indeed, and my = (Holy) blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my (Holy) flesh, and drinketh my (Holy) blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him= . As the living (Holy) Father hath sent Me, and I live by = the (Holy) Father: so he that eateth Me (e= ats My Holiness), even he shall live by Me= (by My Holiness).Ther= efore glorify The Holy One̵= 7;s precious blood in your body= ![141]

Third; Most people don’t = pay any attention to this small phrase, but it is of extreme importance. Every sin that a man doeth is without= the body, but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.<= /span>[142] We can sin many sins which are not unto death. Therefore, If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask THE SPIRIT, and he shall give him life for them = that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray THE SPIRIT for it. All unrighteousness (all ungodliness) is sin and there is a sin not unto death.[143] What is the sin unto death? Is it what = we call the unpardonable sin? The unpardonable sin has to be the number one question asked on the Radio to those that receive call in Bible questions. = The answers that I hear are unbelievable, but are gladly received by many! Wherefore I say unto you, All manner o= f sin and blasphemy (not unto death) shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy= [144]= against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever spe= aketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.= [145] Rememb= er what the Jews said earlier about Jesus. They accused Him of blasphemy against The Holy Spirit, or God, because he said God was His Father, making himself equ= al with God, thus berating God. But Jesus proved them wrong! Then one asked Hi= m; Master, which is the great commandment= in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord (THE SPIRIT <= /b>Jehovah) thy God with all thy heart, and with = all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. A= nd the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On th= ese two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.[146] So I ask you; what is the greatest sin = of all? Could it not be violating the greatest commandment of all, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with = all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, upon which eve= ry thing else depends! When we join in the Spiritual to a harlot, are we not in violation of this great commandment? Know you not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body, with the harlot? = Are we not blaspheming THE SPIRIT when we say His Holy works are evil? Verily I say unto you, All sins shall = be forgiven unto the sons of men (sons of Adam), and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in da= nger of eternal damnation: Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.[147] Jesus was warning the Jews that they we= re in danger of eternal damnation, because; … some of them[148]= said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.= [149] If we say that we have fellowship with him (THE SPIRIT Jehovah), and walk in darkness, we lie, and do= not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the = (Holy) blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanse= th us from all sin.= [150] We must always be extremely careful and= not accuse The Holy Spirit of being or doing evil work![151]

THE SPIRIT fo= llowed an order from which His Kingdom of Holy people would be formed. Although everyone is to be equal, there is an order of completion! And each step dep= ends on the preceding realization. First THE SPIRIT decreed a Spiritual s= on, and set Him apart as The = Holy One Son, unchangeable! THE SPIRIT then became The Holy One Son, and they were one!<= /span>[152] Although they were equal or one, nevertheless the Father is greater, because it was from this Father that the realization of the Spiritual Son c= ame. Secondly, = it was from The = Holy One Spiritual Son that the fle= sh and blood natural Adam was created. The Holy One became one with Ada= m when He breathed His Holy life in= to natural Adam! The Holy One Son is above or greater then natural Adam, becaus= e natural Adam came from the realization of The Holy One Spiritual Son. Thirdl= y, The Holy One Spiritual Son takes from natural Adam, Eve, and commands that Adam j= oin in the natural with Eve and become as one! Even though Eve was equal with Adam, she nevertheless was subject to him because she came from him.[153] For no man ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as The = Holy One, (THE SPIRIT Jehovah LORD nourisheth and cherisheth), His (Holy natural) body. For we are members of <= /i>The Holy One's (Holy natural) body, of His flesh, and = of His bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shal= l be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great myst= ery, but I speak concerning The Holy One leaving His (Holy) Father and joining with His (Ho= ly) wife, His (Holy natural) body.[154] Paul is showing us tha= t the Church is the joining together of = The Holy One an= d His created Holy people. The Bible calls Christ The Holy One the Groom. Mankind reflects the bride, or the wife. We see these Biblical references when comparing the Church to a wedding, as depicted in the verses above. The Parable of the ten virgins and The Holy One coming for His perfect bride is a wonderful teaching that is reflective of the Church. =
In seeking the spiritual messag= e of the word Church, as used in the New Testament, we turn to Str= ong's. Strong shows us that Greek word translated Church comes from two oth= er Greek words: from a compound of Ek and a derivative of Kaleo; a gathering of citizens called out from their homes into some public place. But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know = how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of The Holy One,= which is the church of the eternal SPIRIT, the pillar and ground of the truth.[155] We can easily see that this verse fits our definition. The problem arises when= we give it a worldly carnal definition. The Church the Bible is referring to is Spiritual, and since we are to worship THE SPIRIT in spirit and trut= h, then we need to define the Spiritual Church. Remember ea= rlier when we said that the Church was made up of two parts, The Holy One = and His Holy people? Where are The Holy One and His Holy people going to meet or have fellowship? In the house of THE SPIRIT! And wher= e is the house of THE SPIRIT? Know you not that you are the house of THE SPIRIT. THE SPIRIT will say to the north, give up, = and to the south, keep not back and bring my Holy sons from far, and my Holy daughters from the ends of the earth, every one that is called Holy! For I<= b> THE SPIRIT have created them for my glory, I have formed them, ye= a, I have made them.[156] THE SPIRIT'S purpose for a Spiritual Church was decreed so that He coul= d be The Holy One Supreme and they (the people) would be His Holy Sons= Supreme. To put this simply, THE SPIRIT wanted Holy fellowship. So THE SPI= RIT decreed The Holy One Son, from out of would come those who are called by His Holy name. (People is synonymous with church). The Spiritual Church is the coming out of the ca= rnal wicked world and returning to our purposed Holy origin to worship THE SP= IRIT. Thus joining as one and having fellowship with THE SPIRIT who created us. This is what Jesus is saying when He said: God is a S= PIRIT, and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.[157]<= /span> We must look to our Holy Spiritual orig= in and worship THE SPIRIT as decreed! I will be to them a Holy Father and they will be to me a Holy Son, and together we will be one.[158]

There are those who say that I have glorified ma= n and put him on a pedestal. My answer is no, THE SPIRIT has. Everything I have shared with you is from God, not my opini= on! Man is THE SPIRIT'S most prized creation. It is man that THE SPIRI= T has chosen to be one with, to be married (bonded) to and bestow all His Holy attributes upon. However there is a responsibility that goes with this hono= r. And THE SPIRIT spake all these words, saying, I am= The Holy One LORD, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other Spirits Lords before Me. Thou shalt not = make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them, for I <= /span>The Holy One LORD am a j= ealous SPIRIT, visiting the in= iquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of th= em that hate me.[159] Not only is The Holy One the Lord who delivered man out of Egypt, but He is the Lord that delivered man out of his spiritual darkness.<= ![if !supportFootnotes]>[160] Therefore man is to have, no other Spirits befor= e The Holy One Supreme. Man is to be a reflection of The Holy One, and this can only be accomplished by man's abiding in and serving The Holy One here on earth. Man will reflect whoever he serves!= THE SPIRIT has decreed that man w= ill only serve The Holy One. Vision, if you will the military. We have Privates w= ho are at the bottom of the ranks and as a Private, he serves everybody. As we progress upward in rank, we see the obligation to those we must serve lessen and diminish. The General, who is the highest in rank, serves only the Commander in Chief. If the General chooses to follow (obey) a Private, Capt= ain, Major, another General, or even his own rule, then he is insubordinate to t= he Commander in Chief. Man is the General in The Holy One's Kingdom and is insubordinate to The Holy One (Commander in Chief) if he follows or obeys anyone= or anything, including himself, over = The Holy One. Man, as Holy natural sons here on earth, is obligated to refl= ect the example and control of The Hol= y One Supreme in Heaven.

THE SPIRIT ha= s not only glorified man, but he has also shown us another side of man that we mu= st consider, if we are going to totally understand who we are. Paul makes an interesting statement in the following verses. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of h= is might.[161]= Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of = the devil. For we wrestle not again= st flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the ru= lers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.[162] Ask yourself what are you primarily wre= stling against? What are principalities and powers? Again if you follow tradition you will say, Demons that rule! However, is that an accurate statement? We over look the simple and try and seek the complex! The simple meaning of principalities is; our beginning, our origin, or THE SPIRIT’S decreed purpose! The Greek word that = is translated power in this verse means; one’s ability to choose. In oth= er words man’s own will! So to put this very simply, we wrestle largely = against our own fleshly will to not b= e Holy, and obedient to the life that= The Holy One has made available to us!

Paul spends nearly the entire S= eventh Chapter of Romans, trying to explain his personal battle with wrestling aga= inst his will. For we know that the law = is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. For that which I do I allow not= : for what I would, that do I not; but = what I hate, that do I. If then I do t= hat which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no g= ood thing: for to will (to sin) is present with me; but how = to perform that which is good (Holy) I find not. For the good (Hol= y) that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that = I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwel= leth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with = me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man (in the spirit): But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the l= aw of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver = me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord.= [163]= So then with the mind= [164]= I myself serve the law of God= [165]; but with the flesh the law of sin.= [166] Though out the Scriptures we are given choices to test our will; And if it= seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, (THE SPIRIT Jehovah), choose you this day whom ye will ser= ve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD (THE SPIRIT Jehov= ah). And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the LORD (THE SPIRIT Jehova= h), to serve other gods;[167] = See, I have set before thee this day l= ife and good, and death and evil; In that I command thee this day to love the L= ORD (THE SPIRIT Jehovah) thy God, to wal= k in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, = that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD (THE SPIRIT Jehovah)= thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve t= hem; I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong <= span style=3D'mso-bidi-font-style:italic'>your days upon the land, whithe= r thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it. I call heaven and earth to record = this day against you, that I h= ave set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:= [168]

Once we understand who we are and THE SPIRIT'S plan and purpose for man, then we can better understand what Adam and Eve wrestled with in the Garden of Eden. And The Holy One Supreme LORD (THE SPIRIT Jehovah), commanded the man (Adam and= Eve), 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 th= at thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.[169] As we can see, Adam and Eve lost the battle to their flesh’s will, to stray from God’s Holiness! Of course they had help, but we will learn of that in the next chapter. Nevertheless their= was a consequence for their action that has past down unto all of Adams seeds.[170] For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being unders= tood by the things that are made, eve= n his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because tha= t, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, a= nd their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they be= came fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made li= ke to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping thing= s. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their o= wn hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into = a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for e= ven their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: A= nd likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And = even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which= are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedn= ess, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignit= y; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, invento= rs of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, t= hat they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.= [171]

How could Holy Adam and Eve giv= e up all that Holy glory and THE SPIRIT’S eternal life and choose death? And why should we Adam’s seed have to suffer for what they did? After all we would not<= span style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'> have made that choice for ourselves. Right? Howev= er, thanks to the gospel, every one of us is given a chance to not make the same mistak= e as the first Adam. We have the second Adam and the entire Bible to read for an example of what we are and are not to do, but do we do it? Why did Paul tak= e so long to come to the Faith and write; For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believ= eth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.= [172] And for that matter why did I personall= y take so long to repent and seek God’s second Adam’s restoration to Holiness? And why is it that most of God’s people fall short and are = not chosen for the Holy Kingdom of God?= [173] Could it be that we all are battling th= e same battle that Adam and Eve battled, in that we wrestle against living a Holy = life in the flesh, dedicated to The Holy One? Will knowing who you are help you = in your Spiritual battle to be Holy in the flesh, here on earth? We believe so! Everyone must know who God is, who they are and who their enemy is, in orde= r to even begin to fight the Holy fight! Therefore we will continue in the next chapter with gaining knowledge of who your enemy is.
