an unthinkable end to all human life.
Yet it is all made clear and plain in the book more widely distributed in
more languages than any other book--the Holy Bible. They are bewildered and
helpless because they do not understand the Bible. It is a coded book and cannot
be understood except by the indwelling of God's Holy Spirit.
What almost nobody understands is that God started the human family with
one created man, Adam. God's PURPOSE was to reproduce himself through
humans who were made from the dust of the ground. Adam was created a mortal
being with only temporary existence through breathing air and the circulation of
blood. Adam had to make a decision. Before him in the garden of Eden was the
symbolic tree of LIFE, freely offered him. Had he taken of it he would have
received the Holy Spirit of God to join with the human spirit already created in
him. God's Spirit would have begotten him with eternal life--GOD life--and with
it, spiritual understanding and knowledge, leading to the righteousness and
perfect spiritual character of God, that he might be born again as a son of God
in
the very God Family. But also in the midst of the garden was the forbidden tree
of
the knowledge of good and evil. Adam was created with a mind capable of good
as well as evil--but good only on the human level--the self-centered level--far
short of the divine good on the God-plane level.
When Adam followed his wife in disobeying God, as Eve was led by Satan,
Adam cut himself off from at-one-ment with God, and became the kidnapped
property of Satan the devil. Whereupon, God closed off the tree of LIFE--that
is,
barred all human access to GOD-LIFE! This means that GOD BARRED ALL
HUMANITY FROM SALVATION AND ETERNAL LIFE--UNTIL AFTER JESUS
CHRIST, THE SECOND ADAM, SHOULD APPEAR AND THROUGH DEATH PAY
THE PENALTY OF ALL HUMAN SIN, FOR AS MANY AS REPENT, AND COME
TO BELIEVE GOD!
All traditional Christianity teaches that God has been trying to SAVE THE
WORLD NOW.
On the contrary, God SHUT OFF SALVATION FROM THE WORLD SIX
THOUSAND YEARS AGO WHEN ADAM SINNED, and decreed that in Adam
ALL SHOULD DIE. But, "as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all [the SAME
ALL] be made alive" by a resurrection (I Cor. 15:22), and "after this, the
JUDGMENT" (Heb. 9:27), in which judgment many may find salvation.
Jesus Christ, the second Adam, came to start an entirely NEW WORLD--a
new and different civilization. He said, "I will build my Church." The Church
began with "called-out ones"--called out of this world, as pioneers starting the
new world of GOD. This world is Satan's world. Satan is the god of this world.
AS God closed off salvation from all humanity, until Christ opened it to
the
Church, so Jesus said, "NO MAN CAN come to me, except the Father which sent
me draw him" (John 6:44). Salvation is still closed to all others, contrary to
the
teachings of a false "Christianity." So, the leaders of the world, cut off from
God,
DO NOT UNDERSTAND. They are bewildered.
