age, forming ONE Goo! l n repro–
ducing Himself, God is creating
by begettal and birth of humans
into H1s ow SUPREME Goo
FAMILY! And that FAMILY is
GOD.
And what is Goo? God is
that FAMILY, al! but two Person–
ages, yet in process of being
born-being created!
Yes, HOW WONDERFUL!
How beyond the most brilliant
and highly educated, natural
mind to grasp! So incomprehensi–
bly MYSTERIOUS lO the highly
educated of this world!
The preceding two chapters
have laid the groundwork.
God created man with MlND
power. The human mind is pbysi–
cal brain with the addition of the
"human" spirit, which imparts to
physical brain the power of intel–
lect. But even so, human compre–
hension and huma n thought is
confined to the PHYSICAL and
MATERIAL
The addition to that "human"
spirit of the HOLY Spirit of God
impa rts power for SPIRITUAL
comprehension- receiving spiri–
tual knowledge- understanding
spiritual problems, conditions and
truths.
Before the first man Adam
were placed the two symbolic
trees-one the tree symbolizing
God's Holy Spirit and with it the
gift of immortal Goo-life. But
Adam had to make a CHOICE- it
was necessary for him lo reject
Satan and Satan's WAY, in order
to choose Goo's GovERNMENT
and God's WAY OF LlFE. He was
compelled to choose between God
and Satan. Adam c hose Satan's
way by taking to himself t he
knowledge of good and evil. He
rejected God- and thus rebelled
against Goo's Government , even
as Lucifer had .
Adam was making the decision
no t only for himself, but for
his progeny, the world .
It
was
MAN's decision, and God made
it binding on MAN
UNTJL
the
Government of Goo could be
restored!
That meant the rejection of
February 1981
Satan's way-defeating Satan–
which only the "Second Adam"
could do!
Not only had Salan, the former
cherub Lucifer, rebelled agains t
God. Not only had the Govern–
ment of God become unoperative
on earth- the powerful Satan
STILL SAT ON THAT THRONE!
Unt il Christ shall s it on that
throne-restoring the Govern–
ment of God-and Satan is ban–
ished from the earth, a ll Adam's
human family must remain CUT
OFF from God- EXCEPT TKE MI-

God began providing for
the foundation ofH is
Church through the
comparatively few
prophets in Old
Testament times.

They had chosen, on
God's calling them,
God's Government.

UND ER CHRJST ON THAT
THRONE!
Humanity continued unde r
Satan's sway, as Satan's world.
WHAT, then, IS THE CHURCH?
l t is that body God has special–
ly called out of Satan's world–
the body of humans who on being
called have REJ ECTED and over–
come Satan a nd his WAY OF
UFE- have surrendered to the
Gov ERNMENT OF Goo-have
repented of s ins by turning from
them- have act ua lly received
what the first Adam rejected, the
HOLY SPIRIT OF Goo.
lt
is that
body of repentant believers who
have turned from Satan's way–
TO the way of Goo's GovERN–
MENT bas·ed on H1s LAw-who
are the begotten children of the
living Goo!
God began providing for the
FOUNDATION of His Churc h
through the comparatively few
prophets in Old T estament times.
They had turned from Satan's
way. They had chosen , on God's
calling them, God's GovERN–
MENT. They qualified by over–
coming Satan. However , no one
of them cou ld qual ify for all
humanity- only individually,
each for himself.
It
required
Christ, the Son of God, by whom
humanity was created, to qualify
for all humanity.
But I repeat, God has of neces–
sity taken a single step of His
Mas ter Plan at a t ime.
The CHURCH, then, is that
body called out from Satan's
world
beíng prepared
to restore,
with and under Christ, the Gov–
ERNMENT of God. That shall be a
time when Satan shall have been
REMOVED. It shall be a time when
all living shall be called to repen–
tance and salvation with eterna!
life through the Holy Spirit of
Goo! The CHURCH, immorta l,
shall be RULI NG with Chris t–
replacing the present rule o f
Satan!
The CHURCH, then, is that
body of "called-out ones" which
at the resurrection shall form the
FIRSTFRUITS o f God's harves t.
That harvest is the reaping of
physical flesh-and-blood , matter–
composed humans converted into
divine immortal Goo BEINGS–
those in whom God actually

After all these years of si nning,
human life CUT OFF from God,
even with God's own Holy Spirit
given to those
changed
by initial
conversion, those in the Churc h
are initially "babes in Christ"–
still far more carnal than spi r i–

UNDERSTAND THIS!
The CHURCH, as initially called
in this life, is NOT YET capable of

Christ in the THRONE where God
or iginally placed Lucifer-of ad–
