resurrected in the same body that
died, how can they be resurrected
either to immortal Goo-life, or to
mortal, to tbe great final judg–
ment?
How shall they all be judged, if
they shall not then KNOW,
as
tbey
knew, and
what
they knew, in this
life? How judged unless the very
CHARACTER built into them during
this life also appears intact in the
resurrection?
To understand that "mystery"
we need to know what God
reveals-but what professional.psy–
chologists do not know-about
the
human mind.
Howard Hughes did build a cer–
tain character in his lifetime. So
did Adam and Eve. So did everyone
who ever lived . So are YOU building
a definite character-either good
or evil or a mixture of both-in
your iife NOW. ANO THAT IS WHAT
YOU SHALL TAKE WITH YOU WHEN
YOU DIE!
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT is
the very PURPOSE of this present
mortal temporary physical exis–
tence.
Day by day, hour by hour, year
by year, you are developing a defi–
nite character.
If
you're not con–
cerned about it now, YOU WILL
BE- IN THE FINAL JUDGMENT,
which NONE shall escape. And
there shall be "weeping and gnash–
ing of teeth" (Luke 13:28).
But what of that final judgment?
And if the body that dies is not the
body that comes in the resur–
rection, how can the precise image,
appearance, memory and character
be preserved and translated into the
body that shall come?
To these vital questions science
cannot give you the answer. The
educational system cannot teach
you- it doesn't know! Psycholo–
gists do not know! But God our
Maker REVEALS the answers!
First, we need to UNDERSTAND
the human mind. The brain of ani–
mal vertebrates is like the human
brain. Animal brairis, like human,
vary in size. But the design, compo–
sition and entire structure is simi–
lar. They are qualitatively similar.
The brain of an elephant, dolphin
or whale is larger, but in design and
structure very similar to human
brain. Yet animals cannot think,
reason , plan, design, make decí–
s
sions. They do not exercise the
same power of will, motivation,
attitude as man. How, then, does
human MINO differ from animal
brain?
Science can find no physical
basis for the vast difference. For
science can know only what is seen,
heard, tasted, felt or smelt. And the
difference, which imparts the
psyche or intelligence and thought
processes to human brain, is not
physical but spiritual. Spirit cannot
be seen, tasted, heard, smelt or felt.
The scientist knows nothing about
spiri
t.
Therefore science ignores
the existence of spirit.
Science is
confin~d
to the phys–
ical and material. God is NOT
physical or material, but spirit–
invisible! Spiritual TRUTHS are not
physical or material , but spiri–
tual-entirely outside the realm of
material science!
Science knows nothing of the
things of Goo-No COMPREHEN–
SJON- OF SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE.
INDEED, SUCH TRUTHS ARE FOOLISH–
NESS TO THE WISE OF THIS WORLD
(J
COR. 2:14). YET THEY ARE TRUE!
They are simply outside the materi–
alist's field . He is IGNORANT of
them! Actually the highly educated
scientist's mind is only "half there."
He may possess much of tbe materi–
alistic, but is in IGNORANCE of spiri–
tual KNOWLEDGE! So says the Mak–
er of the worldly wise!
God reveals tbat the human
brain was created incomplete. The
first man, Adam, was created
incomplete in two ways. A PUR–
POSE of his creation and being was
to reproduce his kind. But the man
alone could not reproduce himself.
He was incomplete. He alone was
of the male gender. He needed a
female to be joined with him for
reproduction. So God created a
wife for him, named Eve.
Adam also was incomplete in
mind. Within him was a spirit.
Such a spirit does not exist in ani–
mals. Rather, the animal brain
comes equipped with an automatic
instinct not present in man. The
spirit in humans empowers the
human brain with intellect-the
psyche aspect. Such a spirit exists
in every human from birth. I call it
a human spirit.
You read of it in many places in
the Bible. In Job 32:8, "there is a
sputt m man." In verse 18, same
cbapter, "the spirit within me con–
straineth me ." That is, leads,
impels, suggests.
Tbe human spirit cannot see,
think, hear. The brain sees through
the eye, hears through the ear, feels
through the nervous system. The
physical brain tbinks, not the spirit.
Yet the animal brain cannot think as
man does, or have human knowl–
edge. The human spirit imparts to
the brain the psychic power to think,
know, reason, make decisions.
In 1 Corinthians 2:9, " Eye hath
not seen, nor ear heard, neither
have entered into the heart [mind]
of man, the things which God hath
prepared for them that !ove him"
(that is, spiritual knowledge). How,
then, may spiritual knowledge be
comprehended? Next verse: "But
God hath revealed them unto us by
his Spirit"- the Holy Spirit of
God.
However, mortal man does com–
prehend materialistic knowledge.
How? Only by the senses of sight,
hearing, feeling, smelling, tasting?
No! The cow, the elephant, the dog
hears, sees, and has al! five physical
senses-yet the dumb animal does
not comprehend materialistic
knowledge, such as physics and
chemistry, mathematics, the physi–
cal sciences. WHv? T hey see, hear,
taste, smell, feel, yet do not com–
prehend. How, tben, does a human
comprehend these things?
For the answer, continue the
above scriptural passage, verse 11,
"For wbat man knoweth the things
of a man, save the spirit of man
which is in him? ..." The dumb
animal has the same five senses and
a brain of equal quality and design,
yet the animal cannot have the
knowledge possessed by the human
mind. Nor could a human, EXCEPT
BY
THE SPIRIT OF MAN, WHICH IS IN
HIM and not in the animal.
Now read the latter half of the
same 11th verse, "even so the
things of God [spiritual knowl–
edge] knoweth no man, but [by]
the Spirit of God.' '
The human spirit imparts power
of intellect to comprehend MATERI–
ALISTIC knowledge that an animal
cannot know, even though it can
see, hear, taste, smell and feel like a
man and also has a brain similar to
