Thoughts

These are my perceptions and thoughts on some of the topics within the Bible as it relates to
our relationship with God and his written and living word. I have attempted to give reasons
for what I believe has caused so much confusion. I hope what I have written does not do the
opposite of what I intended, which is to clarify the written word.

To begin, I want to state some basic thoughts. The first of which is the importance of faith.
This is something that Jesus was very clear on. “Be it unto you as you believe.” This
statement is quoted so many times and is such a powerful thought to grasp. I know many
claim to have faith, but few show it. We also need to know this statement does not just
apply to religious faith but is a foundation that determines you as an individual. You are the
product of what you believe. This is not to say that the people around you do not impact
your development because they do, but the statement “Be it unto you as you believe” is
why you are the way you are. This is one of the foundations.

Another important fact we need to realize is that God is not a man. One needs to remember
it was God that created us in his image. But man being the vain creature he is has twisted
this truth creating a God in his physical image. We are vain to think that God created us in
his physical image and that God is as Man. What I am saying is that Man is both a physical
creature and a spiritual creature. God on the other hand is Spirit. So if we were created in
the image of God then what again is that image? Spirit! And what part of us was created in
his image, our spirit, soul, mind or consciousness. I have intertwined the terms mind and
consciousness with our soul or spirit because for all practical purposes they are the same. I
believe this is an important concept for everyone to understand. What I am saying is that
God is consciousness. In other words when you think of the Holy Spirit, then you can
associate that with the Whole Consciousness. I believe I need to point out that there is a
difference between God’s consciousness and ours. The differences between our
consciousness and God’s should be obvious. This connection to God’s consciousness is
what was lost with Adam and Eve and it is for this reason you must be born again. Most of
us relate to our consciousness as little more than a reflection of the person but it is the other

1
way around. Your consciousness is what makes you, you. It is more individual than a finger
print.

Now people use the word spirited to describe someone when they are either cruel or nice.
We say someone is mean spirited if they make fun of someone for what ever the reason or if
you persecute someone just because they are different than you. These are examples of
being cruel or beating someone down not with your fist but with your words and with your
thoughts and we all know there are much worse examples than these. Keep in mind not one
of us has had a choice of who our parents were or where we were born or even the color of
our skin. All of this is as random as world around us, part of the variety and spectacle of
life. So why would you think yourself better than someone else. Because you have money,
perhaps you have a skill or talent they do not. We all can be such vain creatures that put
more value on worldly possessions, positions of power, earthly wealth and our outward
appearance rather than things that truly matter. This is because we see ourselves as physical
beings more than spiritual beings. I think many people still picture God as shown on the
Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo but this is vanity.

When we go out of our way to encourage, build hope or praise someone we are lifting them
up. It is when we empower our positive thoughts that we demonstrate the creative spirit
which is reflective of our spiritual father. If we try to describe God, what descriptions or
adjectives come to mind? God is the creator so creative would be one such description
among many others such as loving, healing and patient, all describe God. Each describes the
characteristics of God but they are also something else, they are characteristics of thinking.
This is something we all have, thoughts. As a matter of fact all animals have thoughts and
dreams. It is when we empower our thoughts that they take on life, such as in Genesis. Now
if you think about it thoughts are what the Bible is all about. What we think and how we
believe makes all the difference in how we see ourselves and those around us see us. It is
with these thoughts that we bind ourselves, our spirit or soul to either our temporal existence
or to God’s whole consciousness. Again I reference the statement “be it unto you as you
believe”. I will take this time to reference another comment made by Jesus. “It is not what
goes into a man that defiles him but what comes out of him.” This is stating that it is our
words and actions that express our thoughts and define us. It is also these things that either

2
condemn us or lift us up. I would also state that as we judge others so are we judged. This
means as you have condemned so will your judgment be applied to you. This truth is
referred in the phrase “you reap what you sow”. If you sow (through word or action) a fear
you will reap fear. If you sow a thought you will harvest it. This is done in two ways, one
of which is through Karma and the other is after death and you are touched by God’s
consciousness. At some point your eyes (consciousness) will be opened so you will see the
truth. Your eyes will be opened but your house will already be built.
What I want to make clear is that Karma does come into play but not from one life to another
life of an individual. Karma is something that is sown and reaped by us and those we touch.
How we live affects not only you but your children, friends, family and even communities
and nations. In other words the thoughts you have shared with others are seeds that you
have sown, which means you have planted them in those that you surround yourself with.
Some will grow in fertile ground and some will not. These same seeds that take root are
passed on from one generation to the next generation and so on. Most of the seeds we plant
are weeds. So I caution you to be careful with what you plant.

So in the beginning when it states God said. This is the empowerment of thought that is
creative energy “Spirit”. We all have it but ours is but just a reflection of our Fathers. But
because God is our Father and we are his children created in his image which is thought. We
have been given the ability to act as his children and we can emulate him. Christ taught us
this when he stated why call ye me good, know ye not that there is none good but God our
Father. Christ did just that he emulated our Father and it was God we saw in Christ. Christ
was not God but a son. This is why Christ was able to perform what seemed to us to be
miracles and why he taught us to pray the way he did.

Another question that should come to mind is how can God say something if he is spirit and
not physical as ourselves. This is another very good question. The term “said” is used as an
inference to us more than to God. It is telling us how we are empowered. Remember what
we just said, “it is not what goes into a man that defiles him but what goes out of the
mouth”. So when it states that God said, it is referring to what we just got through stating
about the empowerment of thought. And speaking about what goes out of the mouth. Can
there be a better summation of Prayer than the Lord’s Prayer?

3
The Lord’s Prayer
"Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy
kingdom come. Thy
will be done, in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily
bread. And
forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass
against us. And lead us
not into temptation; but deliver us from evil: For thine is the
kingdom, the power,
and the glory, for ever and ever."
Amen.

(Our Father), is a statement of simplicity and tells us that God is the Father of us all and
not only is he our father but Jesus, who is teaching this prayer was stating that he is our
brother. Jesus did not teach this prayer to the chosen, but to the multitude. In it was no
requirement, no stipulation or condition, just a statement of consciousness and simplicity.
He did not say my father but our Father. This means that we are entitled to the same rights
and privileges and responsibilities as our brother, Jesus. We are heirs.
All we need do is choose to claim our birthright. Jesus is our brother and our example of
what we all can be if we walked in faith. Jesus is not to be thought of as the exception but
the redemption. Jesus was the sacrifice that was represented in what God asked of Abraham,
the sacrifice of his beloved son Isaac. This was the son that was born in faith and patience,
the son that represented the sacrifice God was to make “the lamb of God” as stated in
Genesis Chapter 22 verse 8. This sacrifice was a test asked of Abraham to see if he put
God first above all things, and because he was willing to put God even above the love for his
promised son Isaac, the son that took a lifetime to conceive. A miracle child conceived when
Abraham was 100 years old and his wife Sarah was 90 years of age. It was because Abraham
was willing to sacrifice his promised son, his only son by his wife that God in turn made a
commitment to Abraham, that his “seed would possess the gate of his
enemies; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be
blessed”(Genesis 22 verses 17 and 18) and (Galatians 3, 16). This prophecy set the stage

4
for God’s sacrifice. The sacrifice of a son, that showed us the possibilities available to us if
we but only choose to believe. I wish to also remind you at this time the significance of the
Passover and the sacrifice of the lamb without blemish and his blood placed on the two side
post and the upper door post to be a token upon those houses which allowed death to pass
by. This also was representative of the blood of Christ. It has not changed. But what was
the significance of this sacrifice? What was the purpose of it? I ask your indulgence and
patience for these questions and I will try to explain it a little latter in my thoughts.

(Which art in heaven) basically this states that God, our father is from above.
Heaven surrounds the earth and provides the earth with light, warmth and stability. When
we look to the heavens we see that it cradles our world. We must remember that the heaven
we see is not the heaven that Jesus spoke of because the heaven we see is as the earth,
temporary and created for us. The obvious association is that heaven is above us which
provides the thought that God’s house or dwelling place is above the earth. The earth is the
physical and as our physical bodies are made from the earth “dust thou art to dust thou will
return”. This is stating a truth but at the same time telling us something about ourselves that
is important to understand. We have a dual identity. We are physical creatures formed from
dust, which is our mother earth side and this is the portion of us that will return to dust from
whence it came. This physical portion of us is described in Chapter two of Genesis and is
completely different from chapter one of Genesis. The first Chapter refers to the creation of
Man and Woman in the image of God, which is spirit/thought and the second chapter refers
to placing that spirit into a physical form and becoming a living soul. It is at this point the
soul takes on the breath of life. The consciousness has been given a shell or house and you
have just become a living soul. The consciousness is your mind, heart and soul and begins
when you take your first breath and ends when you take your last breath. Consciousness is
just what is basically stated in the dictionary. “The awareness of ones own feelings, what is
happening around one, the totality of ones thoughts, feelings and impressions”. I would add
to this description the subconscious, as an important part of our conscious. I say this
because during sleep we loose focus on our other senses, which tend to dominate us. It is
during sleep we can enter a state that allows us the ability to dream. Dreams can tell us
about ourselves and about conditions affecting us as well as the ones around us. I would ask
you to reference the story of Joseph in Genesis. Dreams are in themselves a topic that can

5
be greatly expanded upon, but not at this time. What I will state is that sleep plays another
role as well.

I know this is getting side tracked but I would like to try to clarify the topic of life and death.
I will start by quoting a verse from Ecclesiastes chapter 3, verse19 “For that which
befalleth the sons of men befalleth beast; even one thing
befalleth them: they all have one breath; so that a man hath no
preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. Verse 20 “All go unto
one place; all are of dust and all turn to dust again.” This speaks for
the physical side of us and Ecclesiastes Chapter 9 verses 4, 5 and 6 “For to him that
is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better
than a dead lion. For the living know that they shall die: but the
dead know not anything, neither have they any more reward; for
the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love and their
hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any
more portion for ever in anything that is done under the sun.”
Hebrews Chapter 9: 27 “And it is appointed unto men once to die, but
after this the judgment:” I believe these quotes state it fairly plainly, at least to
me. It is the spirit that was created in Genesis Chapter 1 which then in Chapter 2 of Genesis
was placed in a physical body that became a living soul or consciousness. The spirit portion
of you that was created in the image of God is your consciousness and yet it is different from
the Holy Spirit/ Whole Consciousness which is what was lost at the time of Adam and Eve.
So while the body returns to dust. The consciousness falls into a sleep. It was for this
reason that Christ came into this world to be the sacrifice of innocent blood for the innocent
blood that we spilled. I know many are confused and believe they immediately go to heaven
because of what they want to believe. Many misquote what Christ said on the cross, but all
one need do is think about it and they will see, it is not the way it is. Remember Christ
conquered death after three days in the grave and not before. He had not even ascended to
heaven after the three days when he spoke to Mary, so if he had not ascended how could the
thieves have ascended to heaven before him. Remember what he said was, I go to make a
place for you. In other words it had not been done yet. He told this to Mary when he stated
that she should not touch him yet because he had not ascended. It is important to

6
remember also that if you either went to heaven or hell right away then there would be no
reason for the return of Christ and the resurrection or gathering. I also know many tell of
near death experiences and talk of this immediate transition but this is not the way it is.
What they are experiencing is a vision or dream that leaves a significant impression on their
subconscious state. What I would remind you of is the verses quoted from Ecclesiastes
Chapter 9 verses 4, 5 and 6.

Another thing I think is important to remember is a statement by Jesus that we wrestle

against principalities. Now the dictionary defines principality, “as the territory ruled by a
prince”. I now ask you to remember the temptations of Jesus, in which it stated the devil
told him that he would give him all the kingdoms of this world and the glory of them if he
would fall down and worship him. So, with this thought in mind, I will ask the question. Is
the devil a real entity or a fictitious character? Was this a battle within self and the
realization of a higher consciousness and what it means or was this a discussion between
Jesus and the fallen angel? It is my perception that the devil is an entity. The entity we
gave dominion to. He has not changed from our beginning. He is the father of lies and a
master weaver of them. I believe he has convinced many people that there was no reason for
the sacrifice and the need for the Christ. I would further state that most do not understand
why Christ had to die for our sins. Matter of fact I don’t believe that most even understand
what we did that was a sin.

Most of this world does not understand the Bible and probably perceives the Bible as only
another religious philosophy. I think the devil has been working overtime playing on our
lack of understanding and a flood of information. Finding ways to divide, confuse and
conquer. One thing he seems to have done very well is to plant and nurture the original lie,
the lie that we will not die. So I think we need to think about this, and look at it from
another perspective. I think people should question the benefit of being born in one body
then another and another. If you don’t remember your past lives then what would be the
reason for it. In this scenario you may gain or lose ground as you try to complete your
learning and I would say most if any do not remember their past lives. So again I ask, what
would be the purpose?

7
Most people that believe in reincarnation tie it to Karma. The world tells us this generally
means that you reap what you sowed in your past life and this is used to explain why some
are born with a silver spoon in their mouth and some are born into misery. With this
scenario each would experience both the world with the silver spoon and a life of misery.
The theory of this that you become a collective conscious that reaps what you have sown and
what I think is believed, is that even though you do not retain any conscious memory of your
last experience the subconscious does. This is what you build on, so you are a collective
consciousness without retaining the memories. This is what defines you, the sum of these
experiences. This philosophy is for all practical purposes without end. You do not die. You
just slough off one physical form for another until you reach the Christ consciousness. I ask
you to think what did the serpent tell Eve? You will not die. This is a lie.

An explanation as to why this belief has persisted may be with the seeds we have sown. A
question that should come to mind is why we haven’t seen anyone else ever reached the
Christ consciousness. In this philosophy they have done away with the sacrifice of Christ
while at the same time kept him as the consciousness to aspire to. For all practical purposes
this does away with the Bible except for the bits and pieces that are twisted to substantiate
the philosophy of reincarnation. I know people may try to argue the fact but I do not believe
there has been one other soul to reach the Christ consciousness other than Jesus. So I will
ask you the question, why did Jesus pick fisherman and publicans to be his followers and
Apostles? And I ask you, were these men of Philosophy, men of understanding and
learning? Was John the Baptize a Philosopher? What did Jesus say of John? Luke 7: 28.
For I say unto you. Among those that are born of woman there is
not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least
in the kingdom of God is greater that he. I tell you the men of philosophy
were the men that crucified Christ not the men that followed him. I want to clarify that
philosophy is not evil or bad in it’s self but there is a difference between philosophy and
faith. In the Bible, philosophy is associated with the Pharisees while faith is associated with
children. I tell you that we have but one chance, one breath and that is it, what you do with
it is up to you. Life is for us just as it is for the animals that we share our world with, not
always fair. I know people want the world to be fair but it is not, and it will not be until

8
God brings his Kingdom to a new earth. Also, people have a tendency to blame God for
this world but if you believe the Bible you see it was not his fault, it was ours.

There is another example in the bible with Jesus taking a few of his disciples to a mountain
top and witnessing a vision of Elisa and Moses in the company of God and a transformed
Christ. We must remember this was a vision and a vision is not seeing with the eyes but
with the mind. This particular vision was for a purpose. It was to show the disciples a
comparison between Christ and those figures of Hebrew history that were already placed on
a pedestal. The purpose of the vision was for them to see these great men of God and how
God, himself did not consider them as equals to Jesus. One must remember it was a vision,
not them. Only Christ has been resurrected and only Christ will gather his flock not when
you die but at some appointed time. Everyone else just sleeps until the time of the
resurrection. In sleep, we loose the sense of time and in death we fall a sleep with no sense
of time, it is no different. So you will not know if you have been sleeping for hours or a
thousand years, time will not be relevant. The only thing different is, it is not the body that
awakens but the consciousness or spirit. Christ stated this, a number of times but I don’t
think people understand that he meant it, when he said they but sleep. The physical body is
just a shell to house you, nothing more.

The soul is our essence, spirit or consciousness that is created in the image of God that will
return home to our father’s house which has many rooms and is in heaven, the place Christ
went to prepare. Some rooms are close to our father and some are further away. Kind of
like the planets or satellites that circle our sun. This is the paradox of heaven and hell; to see
the sun but not feel its warmth; to find water but not be able to quench your thirst, connected
but still separate. These are not punishments but choices. It is our choice, our freedom of
will, our consciousness, our soul that either follows a path such as the earth’s stable and life
bearing or like the comet cold and barren. Both are attracted to the sun and both have water
but only one follows a path that allows for life.

In our infancy we begin with a perception of our physical side and we see only the physical
demands or needs not much different than any other animal. We are naked requiring food,
shelter, and clothing for our physical needs which creates our perspective of separation from

9
our father. This is because Adam and Eve separated us from God just as it was Christ that
removed the barrier that separated us from God. Now it is our perception and belief that
creates the separation.

(Hallowed be thy name,) What do you call your father? Dad! God is our Father
not anything less. It does not matter what faith or religion you come from or what language
you speak, so long as you call him Father. Remember that with this thought of believing
God is your Father then you should realize that you have a lot of brothers and sisters out
there and they should be treated as such. Many people try to differentiate, characterize and
impersonalize other people to justify using or harming them but there is no justification for
harming others. All of us are related to each other and we should remember that. It does not
matter what race, color, religion, country you come from. We are all related and it doesn’t
matter if you believe in scripture or science, they both are telling you the same thing, we are
all family. I know it is hard to remember especially when we see so many atrocities carried
out on people. The sad part of this is that it seems that so many people that are either in
power or seeking power use their power not to serve others but to serve themselves rather
than helping those in need. What I mean by this is that if you cause harm to others then you
harm yourself. Remember “There is nothing from without a man that
entering into a man may defile him: but the things which come
out of him, those are things that defile a man.” Mark 7: 21. “For
from within, out of the heart of men proceed evil thoughts,
adulteries, fortifications, murders, 22. Thefts, covetousness, an
evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23. All these evil things
come from within, and defile the man”. Evil thoughts, is the summary
which is followed by the descriptive examples of evil thoughts. People need to remember
the first of all commandments is “The Lord God is one Lord: And thou shalt
love the Lord God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first
commandment and the second is like namely this, Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment
greater than these”. How can a man or woman be honorable if what they do is
cause harm to others, do not be blinded by fear, hate, lust, envy, pride, jealousy, prejudice

10
and power. If so pray that the beam can be removed from your eye so that you may see. Do
not follow after Cain, who killed his brother and then asked God am I my brother’s keeper. I
would ask everyone to remember the Lords Prayer and do unto others as you would have
done to you. I also want to make sure that you understand the heart, mind and soul are the
same but just different perspectives of the consciousness. How you feel, think and live are
aspects of your consciousness.

(Thy Kingdom Come,) What we see here is the protection of a ruler or King that has
the ability and power to ward off any harm to our families and friends. When Jesus was
asked if he were a King, he simply stated that his kingdom was not of this world. Any
kingdom here on the earth is of the earth and is thereby corruptible and so everything built
here will return to whence it came, dust. That is unless God’s kingdom, which is like God,
incorruptible, is brought here then we would have the protection of that which is everlasting.
So for God’s kingdom to come to earth it must come from within you. It is being born again
of the spirit of God. It is the understanding that you are a child of God and you are a spirit
within a house. This would bring the incorruptible, Holy Spirit, to a lump of clay. This is a
conscious choice which makes you a child of God and brother to Christ.

(Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven,) This one is a bit tricky

because it could easily be misconstrued as controlling but God is anything but that. I think
the best way to think of this is to remember that God is Our Father and a Father will provide
for and protect his children. A good Father is loving, giving, protective, nurturing, patient,
corrective, encouraging. Our Father does not dictate to us but establishes guidelines and
rules that provide us with direction without taking away our freedom of choice. Sometimes
the choices we make are harmful not only to ourselves but to others. Our father has always
wanted children but the choice is ours to make. We can choose if we want to claim our birth
right or if we choose to wander the wilderness. I will come back to this thought latter.

(Give us this day our daily bread,) This is telling us that our father will
provide for us. Our Father will do just what fathers do, take care of us. With this in mind
we need to understand that this is not the provisions of our social standards. These standards

11
are our basic needs of food and shelter. This has no relationship with what cultures that have
developed their own social and economic standards nor are they based on desires or politics.
We must also understand that political entities cover a wide range of bodies which include
but are not limited to Church and state. The Bible tells us that man shall not live by bread
alone but by the word of God, which is interpreted as bread from heaven. Why and how is
this? Well God’s word, is life, uplifting, creative, enlightening, healing, forgiving,
longsuffering, patient, enduring, filling, hopeful, warming, comforting all of which describe
what love is. God’s word is like the sun rise. The Son rise is sort of a play on words
because this is exactly what our father wishes for his sons and daughters to do, rise up above
the entrapments of this world. The thing is that these entrapments are not defined the same
way for everyone. It is not that there are different standards for different people but that we
all are different, with different perspectives, different dreams, and following different paths.
The letter of the law is just direction it has no life other than what we provide. Our lives are
all special so don’t sell your selves short or put others on a pedestal. Think about what Jesus
said: “Why call thou me good? There is none good but one, that is,
God”. This tells us that our brother Jesus reflected the light of our father and this is the
light of God that we saw in Jesus. Jesus is the possibility of what we all can be. He is the
example of the power of love and believing that we are to emulate as “the children of God”.
He was born in faith and lived in faith. This is why Jesus repeatedly stated “be it unto you as
you believe”. This is a truth stated in Job 3: 25 “For the thing which I greatly
feared is come unto me, and that which I was afraid of is come
unto me”. This is telling you that how and what you believe is what comes to pass.
This is the power we have in faith.

(And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass

against us.) It is so easy for us to see faults of others and try to correct them but we
seem justify or ignore or own faults. Help us father to treat others as we would like to be
treated. Help us to remember that when we point our finger at someone in accusation that
we remember to look at that hand and take notice of those fingers pointing back at us. Also
remember that those we judge are, our brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, grandparents,
aunts, uncles, cousins, daughters and sons or should I just say family. As we condemn or
judge others so will we be judged.

12
(And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil,) What is
temptation and evil? Is it defined by the Ten Commandments? Is evil false religions and
what are false religions? Is it the taking of forbidden fruit? What is corruption? To help
answer this question I think we need to go back to the beginning and see what is said. God
told Adam not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil for in the day
thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. God told Adam the day you eat
of this tree you will die. Well we all know that Adam lived for hundreds of years after this.
So what is this truly stating. Did Adam die the day he ate the forbidden tree. I think he did,
but not in the way we think of death. What happened was Adam became separated from
God. It is in separation there is death. “Now the serpent came to Eve and
STATED the question hath God said, ye shall not eat of every tree
of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may
eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: but of the fruit of the
tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, ye shall
not eat of it, neither shall thou touch it, least ye die”. For some
reason Eve misquoted what God said. God said nothing about touching the fruit of the tree
of knowledge of good and evil. God just commanded that they were not permitted to eat of
the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

I think it is important to bring something up that we tend to associate with. Most of the
pictures throughout history have depicted Eve at the base of a tree with the serpent in the tree
telling her it was ok to take from the tree. This is just a depiction or a rendering, an
interpretation. This tree with this fruit is a figurative tree. In literature and history the tree
has been used to represent the family tree or the connection. What I am saying is that this
tree represents a branch from the Tree of Life and even though all life is connected to this
one tree it is called out as a specific Tree. Now the family tree has many variations or
branches but this tree is from the midst of the garden. It is important to understand they took
from the tree of knowledge of Good and evil, and this is the tree of all animal life. All
animals have and are given knowledge, and this knowledge is used to provide choice and the
ability to nurture their young. So when the bible states that they took from the tree of
knowledge of good and evil then it is simply stating that they took from the fruit of this tree,

13
which is animal life. And the fruit of this tree would be literarily an offspring or egg of a
particular tree or branch of animal life. Why I say the egg is because it resembles the shape
of a fruit and is pleasant to the eye and would be easily handed to ones partner just as any
other fruit and is the fruit of the union of certain species in the branch of the tree of
knowledge. The reason why this makes sense is there is an old saying that you reap what you
sow. If they took a life of a creature then it would be under the old school of thought; an eye
for an eye. They took a life and so they would loose life. I also believe the Bible literarily
tells us that it wasn’t literally a tree as we have had it depicted throughout history. Chapter 1
verses 29 and 30 tell us that. “And God said, Behold, I have given you
every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth,
and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to
you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and
every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepth upon the
earth, where in there is life, I have given every green herb for
meat; and it was so”. As it states here every tree and plant were given to us for
meat. Not only were Adam and Eve Vegetarians but so were all the beast on earth. So once
they took a life all things changed. The bible does not talk about it but it is obvious from this
point onward everything changed and the beast also became carnivores. What is important
is that we understand is the principle. When we took a life we lost life which was (Holy
Spirit, Whole Consciousness) our connection to God. We became dead which for all intents
and purposes means we were separated from God. It was at this time we realized that we
were naked. Another interesting fact is that we gave away our dominion (the authority and
power to rule) over the fish, fowls and every living thing that moved upon the earth. First,
this was a privilege that we should have lost once we took the life of one of our charges.
When one is given the power over others to rule then we have the responsibility to serve and
protect. Secondly, we chose to give this away in trade to know good and evil, to be as God
and the one we gave it to, was the great tempter.

I want to take the time to point out that Genesis Chapter 1 verses 29 and 30 was stated on the
sixth day which obviously is before the seventh day when God rested and all of which was
before God formed man from the dust of the earth and we were given physical form. The
point of this is when god stated this it was thousands and thousands and thousands of years

14
before we took form. So at this point in time when God is stating this to man, we were
connected to him as we will be after the gathering. I know this is hard to grasp and the Bible
does not talk about it but remember time has little meaning when compared with eternity.

Now we know what evil is. Evil is the separation from God. Before we took from the tree
of knowledge of good and evil we were connected to God, with what is later described as the
Holy Spirit. Throughout the bible God blessed a chosen few with this connection that was
lost but it only was bought back by the blood and sacrifice of Christ and not given to us until
the out pouring of Pentecost. How ironic that we lost our connection to God by shedding
innocent blood and we gained it back by shedding innocent blood. Now I hope you
understand why the sacrifice of Christ.

The Bible tells us that God is Spirit. So, what is it he can give to us, a part of himself, Holy
Spirit. This is the clothing we lost. Next we need to understand just because Holy Spirit is
given to us it in no way controls us nor does it change us, on the contrary, it is the change in
us that allows the seed to take root in us. We are the earth in which the seed is planted and
the seed will only grow if it is nurtured. That is our responsibility to provide the proper soil.
Remember we are dust and to dust we will return but we are also created in our Fathers
image, Spirit. All creatures have spirit but what God wants are children.

I hope you understand the thought of what happened. By taking life we separated ourselves
from God. Now we can see that this is where we chose independence. The choice was ours
to make and we chose to separate our selves from God. We believed that we could become
just like our father, a God. And if this fruit would do so, it was indeed a prize. Genesis
1:3:4-7 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely
die: For God doth know that in that day ye eat thereof, then your
eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and
evil. 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 to her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes
of them both were opened, and they knew they were naked; and

15
they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
This is important to understand because it is saying a multitude of things. First the serpent is
telling Eve just the opposite of what God has told them. They will not die. So he is telling
Eve that God has lied to them. What you need to understand is at this point death was
foreign to them because they did not die. They were living forever at this point. Death was
foreign to them but they had to understand what death was by observation. They would have
seen plants and animals die and understood the concept but it was still foreign to them.
Secondly he is stating that they will be like Gods knowing good and evil. Before this point
they only knew good because they were connected to God, who is all good. Evil on the
other hand is separation from God. In Luke 11: 11-13; “If a son shall ask bread
of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? Or if he
ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask
an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know
how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall
your heavenly father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
Jesus describes us as evil yet referencing how we can do good. I think you noticed that the
woman saw the fruit was good for food. This means to me that the serpent showed Eve it
was good for food, in other words he ate of the tree first. And she could see he wasn’t dead.
This is why he seemed so wise. How else would she have seen it was good for food? She
saw that it was pleasant to the eyes is also a reference to the fact she was using her physical
senses over her connection to God. The tree was to be desired to make one wise as Gods
also says something toward envy, lust, and self indulgence. It was at this point that they
brought into our world the works of the flesh as stated in Galatians 5: 19. “Now the
works of the Flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery,
fortification, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20. Idolatry,
witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions,
heresies, 21. Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings and
such like:” Thus they became naked. This separation is sin. It is this condition of
being separated from God that caused death. Death was not a punishment of God, but
causality. Once we chose this separation we became naked. Before this awakening they
were clothed in Gods Holy Spirit but once we took from the tree of knowledge of good and
evil we separated ourselves from God. Thus they lost there connection to God and without

16
the connection we became naked, hence the substitution of clothing. The whole of the
matter is that this was their choice, which means that we chose to separate ourselves from
God. Did we know what we were doing? No. Do we yet? What I will state is it was at this
time we gave our dominion over this world to the Tempter.

I think it is important to note as soon as Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge of
good and evil they were driven out of the garden least they eat also from the tree of life and
live forever. It might be a good time to ask, what was the purpose of the tree of life? I say
this because; before Adam and Eve ate from the tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil they
were already living forever. This is a change in condition that was of no concern until after
Adam and Eve learned the difference between good and evil.

Now I am going to get side tracked here. Please be patient with me. The first chapter of
Genesis is told from the perspective of God and the second chapter is told from the
perspective of man separated from God. This is distinguished in the description of God
verses Lord God. The second chapter goes back into the first chapter and clarifies some of
the creation, which is relative to the generations of the heavens and the earth being created
and then made. I want to point out that these are two different things creating and making.
Creating is a thought process and making is a process of developing the creation. I also
would like too also point out it state’s generations, which encompasses long spans of time.
It then describes some of the sequence of time line in relation to developing the conditions
on earth to bring forth life and the forming of Adam and Eve. What is stated here is just
what the theorist has stated about the shaping of the heavens and the earth. It took place
over generations of time to develop and provide us a world with the proper atmosphere and
stable environment for our specific needs. In Chapter 1 verse 27 and 28 God stated: “So
God created man in his own image, in the image of God he
created him; male and female created he them. And God blessed
them, and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply and
replenish the earth and subdue it: and have dominion over the
fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air an over every living
thing that moveth upon the earth”. First of all I will reiterate that God
created both Adam and Eve in his image, which is Spirit. Then he blessed them and told

17
them to be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it and have dominion
over all living things. The word replenish was used. Why? What does replenish mean?
The dictionary describes the word as to make full or complete again. Again this is the
important concept. To me it means life existed before this time and it may be an assumption
but it does seem to lead me to believe that this predominate life was wiped off the earth
providing a clean slate to begin again. I am not saying all life was wiped away but I am
saying that the life of the predominant species was. There would be no reason for God to
discuss this because there is no real relevance to discussing it. But I do believe it relates to
the generations it took to develop a somewhat stable environment for us to exist. I know it
states that God created them male and female and telling us to be fruitful but you need to
remember all this was God’s master plan. God created is the thought and the order of things.
We are spiritual beings here. Created in the image of God, which is Spirit. We are not
formed until Chapter 2 verse 7.

In Genesis Chapter 1: 26. “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”. The likeness and image of God is characterized by the description
of the Fruit of the Spirit. Man was given dominion over all the earth, which is control. But
once we betrayed that responsibility and took a life we lost that privilege. I believe it was at
this point that we gave our dominion to the Serpent or Tempter, devil or Satan. This
dominion was ours and we traded it for this enlightenment of knowing the difference
between good and evil. Thus what God stated after this original sin was again, not a
punishment, but the effect of our actions. We gave to the serpent / devil our dominion over
this world for the knowledge of good and evil, which is separation from God. Luke 4: 5.
“And the devil, taking him up into a high mountain, shewed unto
him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6. And
the devil said onto him, All this power will I give to thee, and the
glory of them: for that was delivered unto me: and to
whomsoever I will I give it. 7. If thou therefore wilt worship me,
all shall be thine.” The devil is stating that someone gave him the dominion, which

18
was ours. The only one that could have done this, is the one that had it, which of course was
us. Thus the paradise of Eden was lost. In this we are stating that we traded dominion of
this world so that we would know the difference between good and evil. What we did not
understand or realize at that time was the cost of being separated from God. In separation
from God there is death. In separation we lost dominion of this world. In separation we
opened the door for opposites, cause and effect. This means if there was good, then now
there was evil or separation from God. If there was love, then now there was hate. I guess
what I am trying to say is that it wasn’t God punishing us, but cause and affect.

The other part of this is that the whole Bible tries to explain to us how we can get back to
this consciousness which, Jesus Christ showed us. He is the example of our birth right as
Gods children. It was with Adam that we lost our birth right and was by Jesus that we
gained it back. Jesus was the sacrifice signified in the lambs blood placed upon the doors to
protect the first born at the time of Moses. Abraham was asked to sacrifice his son that he
waited a life time for. A sacrifice that he was not required to fulfill but to know just how
painful such a loss was and yet be willing. This represented the sacrifice God made in his
son Jesus. It was because of prophesy (which is the promise) and by faith that Christ came
into this world. Please realize Jesus was not God on earth but God’s word and promise
made living. Our Father was so proud that after so long a man was born that fulfilled the
promise and walked the walk of a son. He was the promise born in faith and from the seed
of Abraham and was the sacrifice, the Lamb of God that was spared of Abraham. It is for
this reason that he came into this world, to fulfill the prophecy. Christ was the promise and
paid the debt of innocent blood for innocent blood.

For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and
ever." This is saying God (Whole Consciousness) is the Kingdom, and the power and the
glory from the beginning and without end. This was stated when God talked to Moses on the
mountain, when he said to Moses, I AM. I AM, a statement of simplicity stating the very
same thing. Jesus said not my will but my Fathers will be done. We on the other hand try
to play king and manipulate the truth to shape the world into our own Kingdoms. We do not
try to shape our lives to the truth but twist the truth to fit our kingdom. This tells me that
most seek not the kingdom of God but seek their vision, their own kingdom. Remember

19
Jesus scolded his own disciples “o’ ye of little faith”. These were his closes followers; the
ones who saw him perform miracles.
You are the heir to the Kingdom if you choose but to believe.

I also think it is important for everyone to remember Jesus Christ died on the Cross.
I would like to take the time to quote some verses starting with Isaiah 7:14 “Therefore
the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall give
you a sign; Behold a virgin will bear a son, and shall call his name
Emmanuel.” 9: 6 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is
given: and the government shall be built upon his shoulder: and
his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God,
The everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.” 52: 14 “As many
were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any
man, and his form more than the sons of men:” Isaiah 53: 2 –
“for he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, an as a root
out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when
we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.” 3 –
“he is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and
acquainted with grief; and we hid our faces from him; he was
despised, and we esteemed him not.” 4 – “Surely he hath borne
our griefs, and carried our sorrows, yet we 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
our 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
20
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.” 11 – “He shall see the travail of his soul,
and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall my righteous servant
justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.” 12 – “Therefore
will I divide the spoil with the great, and he shall divide the spoil
with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death;
and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the
sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.”
Psalms 22:16 – “For the dogs have encompassed me: the assembly
of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my
feet.” 17 - “I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon
me.” 18 – “They have parted my garments among them, and cast
lots upon my vesture” 1 – “My God, my God why hast thou
forsaken me?”
Psalm 69:21- “and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.”
Psalm 31:5 – “Into thine hands I commit my spirit:”
The description in Isaiah and Psalms describes the life and death of Christ verbatim.
How can people not see this? I think people today need to go back to the basics. The
religious leaders of Jerusalem fulfilled the prophecy because they were poor stewards of the
word, the word to them was not living but a set of laws cut into stone. The books of the Old
Testament became stories, of their history. It was for this reason the word describes that
they could not understand because there hearts were hardened as the stone the laws were
written on. So I ask you, is it living in you? Or is it just a history book. I think people are
missing the point and I believe the reason for this is that people do not know what to believe.
There are so many dividing the word without understanding and because of this they are
perpetuating the division of the church and body of Christ. I want you understand first and
21
foremost is that God is one. He is absolute. Secondly there is no God the Father, God the
Son and God the Holy Ghost. God is the creator not anyone else. Christ is the first and the
last or the alpha and the omega in that he is the first in the resurrection to life and the last for
no one has access to the father except through him. For he was the lamb that laid down his
life for us and we are sanctified not by our works but by his faith in the resurrection to life, a
promise given to Abraham which is given to all that believe. For we are not servants of the
law but children in faith. For we, who being weak in faith find strength in the vine which is
Christ. Through Christ faith we are justified in his resurrection. For only through his faith
was the resurrection possible. So our redemption is not in our ability to obey the law but
follow Christ, who by his strength of faith conquered death, not our faith. Thus we who are
weak in faith are justified in Christ faith. I believe it important to understand, for this to be
true then Christ must be a man not God, for death has never had power over God but death
had power over man at least till the faith of Christ conquered death. Now you must
understand that conquering death is a one time thing, thus Christ is the alpha and the omega ,
the beginning and the end. Death is not a mountain it is a condition. A condition created by
separation. A condition of separation that has been bridged. For Christ through faith
claimed the birth right of being the son and as the son a seat next to our father. Remember
the prodigal son. Man is the prodigal son and Christ showed us this. Now it is up to us to
believe in the sacrifice of Christ and to be justified in faith not the letter of the law. Christ
blood was shed for us if we but choose to believe.

Today I hear much talk about people having past lives and fulfilling this step then that step
until they reach the Christ consciousness. In this scenario Christ sacrifice is done away with
and the Word of God states this is not true. The whole bible describes this sacrifice in detail.
It is amazing. If you cannot believe in the miracles or acts of faith believe in the truth that
was taught. This is not truth passed down through men of learning but by God’s word given
to men of faith.
We are entering into a new age and with each new age come change and the fulfillment of
another age. Think about each age and what it has given us. Tarsus brought us Moses the
law giver and Pisces brought us Christ and I hope the Age of Aquarius will bring a filling of
our vessels with knowledge, understanding, wisdom and the Fruit of the Spirit. With this
Age an awakening and acknowledgement of why. I hope not to answer this question for you

22
but present it in a manner that you may answer it for yourself. Once you have, I hope you
carry it much further than what is explained here.

There are many topics of concern, one o which is the interpretation of the Word in the first
chapter of John. “In the beginning was the word, and the word was
with God, and the Word was God.” It has been said that this Word is Christ.
This is not Christ or any other being. This is a statement of completeness that God is one
and there is no other but God, who created all things. It is with his word and his word alone
that there is a heaven and earth. Genesis Chapter I, verse 1 plainly states “In the
beginning God created the heavens and the earth” 2- “And the
earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the
face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of
the waters”. This is a summation statement setting a focus. Remember this is a vision
not the actual creation of heaven and earth. I say this because it states the earth was without
form and heaven was created on the second day. As stated earlier, created is the minds
vision or thought. 3- “And God said, “let there be light; and there was
light”. What science calls The Big Bang. 4- “And God “saw the light, that it
was good”; and God “divided the light from the darkness”. 5-
“And God “called the light Day and the darkness he called
Night”. And the evening and the morning were the first day.” At
this point there are no stars or suns, they have not formed yet, but what he has formed are
clouds or nebulas, which is light separating from the darkness. It is interesting to note the
day begins with the evening and ends with the morning. This is significant because it is
telling you the old is being replaced with a new dawning of a new age or new day, a new
beginning. The day begins with the old and is completed with the new.

6- And God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide
the waters from the waters”. I believe this is such an incredible statement. The Heaven
we see divides the waters. So what is significant of the water? Without it we would not
have life at least as we know it. Also if you will remember what Christ told the Samarian
woman at the well and you will realize there is water and there is the water of life both of

23
which are needed for life but one fills the body or physical and the other fills the soul or
spirit.
Genesis Chapter 1 verse 7- “And God made the firmament, and divided
the waters which were under firmament from the waters which
were above the firmament: and it was so. 8- And God called “the
firmament heaven”. And the evening and the morning were the
second day”.
9- “And God said “Let the waters under the heaven be gathered
together unto one place, and let dry land appear: and it was so”.
10. “And God “called the dry land Earth; and the gathering
together of the waters called he Seas”; and God said “it was
good”. I have a few thoughts about this. First this references a focus of vision for the
division of the waters and completes the division of waters (physical and spiritual).
Secondly from this focus, God develops the larger picture of how this is to be accomplished.
The third thing I would have you think about is what this book is about and that is the
relationship of us with God our Father. It is not about the sciences or about history it is not
about how something was done but why it was done. It is about a relationship between a
Father and his children. So please do not confuse the two. Remember that man until just
recently believed that our planet was the center of the universe. And that all things were
built around it. The sun, moon and stars circled the earth so earth became the center of the
heavens or universe. This is evident throughout history and in these passages. If the third
and forth days are reversed in order it all fits just as science has described. Now there are
those that say you can’t just change the Word of God to fit what ever you want. This is true.
If God meant something different then it would be different. What I am saying is that the
perceptions of man are evident throughout the whole bible. For example many people today
associate the day spoken of here as a literal 24 hour day which is a function of the earth’s
rotation. As the earth rotates on it’s axis in relationship to the Sun, we count that time to
equal a day. As the earth revolves around the sun we count as a year but these sequences of
time are for us, not God. The stars and suns were not even created until the fourth day. This
tells me that Gods days are much different from mine. My days are set in Genesis Chapter 1
verse 14 were Gods days are described in II Peter Chapter 3 verse 8- “But, beloved,
be not ignorant of this on thing, that one day is with the Lord as

24
a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day.” What is meant by
this is that time is relevant to those who it is applied to. It states that a day to God is as a
thousand years not that it is a thousand years. The days are for our relationship with time not
God’s for his time is without end. The point of this is that lines 9 – 13 should have come
after the creation of the Sun and the moon. Instead the order is reversed not because what
God said but how man thought. Man has limited understanding and because of this he
interprets truths to fit those perceptions. As stated a little earlier because man believed that
the Earth was the center of the universe then all things would be built around the earth,
hence the reverse of order. Now I know people will think that what I am saying is counter to
the word. I believe what was written is a perception that was carried down throughout the
ages. It is no different than what we have done in our age. Look at what happened with
Galileo. All of this fits together but again our perceptions get in the way just as they have in
the past. I want to make something very clear. I am not advocating that we change the order
as written. What I am stating are the reasons of the order. Remember if you do not learn
from the past then you will repeat the same errors of the past.

One of the major errors of the past is that people are afraid. They are afraid to except
change, so they become trapped by their fears. Even though the Israelites saw miraculous
wonders, which allowed them to physically escape Egypt their fears or thoughts held them to
Egypt and so they built a calf of Gold, a reference to the age of Taurus the Bull, which is
holding on to the past. It was fear that also held Israel to cling to the letter of the law and
with that crucified the living word, Christ. Today the word is living and evolving in us. I
also want to point out that people will say you cannot change the word that the Bible is not
for Private interpretation but the Bible does not say that. As a matter of fact each branch of
the church such as Catholic, Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist and a hundred other churches
have done just that. They have all interpreted the Bible differently. However the bible does
state that Prophecy is not for private interpretation but we are not talking about prophecy.
What we are doing is to change perspective. It is sort of like the perspective difference held
during Moses time to what Christ taught. During Moses time the law was an eye for an eye
but Christ taught to turn the cheek. Moses taught from the perspective that if you stole or
harmed someone the punishment was severe or at a minimum equal to the harm. And Christ
on the other hand taught to not seek revenge or compensation for harm or theft. What is

25
important is to know is the order these teachings. Moses set an expectation to convince the
perpetrator not to do something under the threat of knowing the cost if caught would be
severe. Christ taught not from the perspective of the one doing the harm but to one receiving
the harm. Christ asked them not to bind themselves to the one harming them. Nor should
they bind themselves to the things of this world. For if you bind yourself to this world then
you are weighted by it. Remember the camel and the eye of a needle. Think of it this way if
you were in swimming race would it make sense to wear the stone tablets around your neck
for display or in your heart and mind. We have a choice to make, do we cling to the word as
written in stone or to the living word. I want you to understand the word is written to fit the
perspective of the time to address what was needed at that time. The truths are the same it is
just the perspective that changes. I believe there are so many wanting to understand the Bible
and they are looking for direction but do not know where to turn for that help. We live in a
time of information over load or at least it seems that way at times. The word of God is the
same today as it was when written but the perspective from which it is seen is what changes.
This is an evolutional process and development upon the foundations. First one needs to be
given a foundation. You build a house on a foundation and the house has many stages of
development. There are floors, walls, ceilings and roofs to be built. If you want the
connivances of electricity, plumbing and heating then you will want to put these in before
you put up the drywall. This is the same for the Bible it is written with foundations at the
beginning and from there the house is built. We are all living in houses, the body is just a
house and you are a spirit placed within a vessel, created in the image of God, who is Spirit.
The choices you make determine which path you take not just for today for all time.
Remember Cain, your choices affect others; you have a responsibility to help not harm
others.

Genesis Chapter 1 verse 11- “And God said. Let the earth bring forth
grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit
after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth; and it was
so.” 12- “And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding
seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in
itself, after his kind; and God saw it was good.” 13- “And the
evening and the morning were the third day.” Now I ask you look at

26
Genesis Chapter 2 verses 4 and 5. 4- “These are the generations of the
heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that
the Lord God made the earth and heavens,” 5- “And every plant
of the field before it was in the earth and every herb of the field
before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon
the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground”. What is
being said here is that there is a difference between creation which is the vision and the
actual making or forming of something. The Word states Creation took generations not
earth days. Generations are very long spans of time. And I hope that people understand just
because it did not happen in seven of our days that it does not make it any less grand. For
what we have been given, is extremely rare. Because of the moon we have a polar axis
which allows for the stability of seasons and climate. Because of our iron core and magnetic
field we have a shield from solar radiation. Life is based on so many variables that have to
be just so. As stated this took time (generations) to build to create stable conditions which
we enjoy. What did Mark 7: 22 say about foolishness.
14- “And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of Heaven
to divide the day from the night; and Let them be for signs, and
for seasons, and for days and years;” 15- “And let them be for
lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the
earth; and it was so”. The creation of the sun and moon is what I would have
thought would have taken place on the third day and would have followed what science tells
us is the natural sequence of order. But as I have already stated until recently we thought we
were the center of the universe, perceptions. 16- “And God made two great
lights; the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to
rule the night; he made the stars also”. Here we see that God thought or
envisioned something in verses 14 and 15 and completed it in verse 16. I also wish to point
out something about our perceptions. The two lights described here are the sun and the
moon and we all know the sun is a light but the moon on the other hand is a body that
reflects light. So, I suppose, because it does reflect light it can be called a light but
technically it is not a light. The point of this is not to nit pick but to state the obvious, our
understandings and perceptions have changed. Most of these changes are due to science and
technology and they are not threats but tools. I also want to make it clear not everything we

27
are taught today in the sciences is true, some are only theories and theories are only a
possibility, not a truth. And just the same what we understand about the word of God is only
in part and can be skewed by those individuals or groups we listen to such as families,
friends, schools, state and church. Most of which have good intentions but some intentions
are not necessarily looking out for your interest as they are looking out for their own.
History is usually written by the conqueror and the conqueror has been known to change the
facts for their own benefit or perception.

It is important not to get caught up in religious practices that are just convenient or just
because they sound and look cool. Nor is it good to attach yourself blindly to religious
foundations. This is not to say that you should not attend or participate in congressional
functions because it is good to support each other. But remember no one church understands
everything about the Word. Man can appoint or choose whosoever he wishes to serve as a
spiritual leader but that does not mean that God has chosen them. And even though you may
choose them to serve you, it does not mean that they will be strong enough to put God before
you. When raising a child you show a balance. By providing laws and guidelines for a
foundation but once these are given you must rely on the bond of love and faith.

The only blind faith that you should believe is that the prophecies and promises of the Old
Testament have been fulfilled in the sacrifice of Christ and we are justified and redeemed
through this allowing us to become born again in God’s Spirit. And with this we can claim
our birthright as God’s children, the children of faith. It is in faith God said and we and our
world became and it is in faith that we become the promise. We must always remember that
faith without love has no life.

Today’s understanding is based on understanding the foundations of the past but tomorrow’s
understanding is based on the frame work we build today.

17- “And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light
upon the earth”, 18- “And to rule over the day and rule over the
night, and divide the light from the darkness; and God saw that it
was good”. 19- “And the evening and the morning were the forth

28
day”. Again what we see here is the thought that all things circle the earth even the sun
and the moon. But if we exchange the day happenings of day three and four then it all fits.
The point of these thoughts is for us to do just that, think. The more we think and question
then the more we will come to understand and the more we understand the stronger our
foundation becomes. This in no way takes away from the Word of God, remember men
have imposed their perspective or understanding within the Word as it relates to those they
are teaching at the time. This why the word is constant in its foundations but ever changing
in perspective.

I think I already covered most of the rest of the beginning of Genesis so I would like to
divert to the Gospel of John. Maybe the best approach is to interpret this passage. John 1:1-
In the beginning was the word of God and by God’s word was all
things created. 2- The same was in the beginning with God. 3-
All things were made by God; and without God was not anything
made that was made. 4- In God was life and the spirit of God was
the light of men. 5- And the light shineth in darkness: and the
darkness comprehended it not. 6- There was a man sent from
God, whose name was John. (John the Baptist) 7- The same came
for a witness, to bear witness of God that all men through John
might believe. 8- John was not God, but was sent to bear witness
of God, that all men through him might believe. 9- That was the
true God, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10- God was in the world and the world was made by God, and
the world knew him not. 11- God came unto his own, and his own
knew him not. 12. but as many as received him, to them gave
he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe
on his name: 13- Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of
the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14- And God’s Word
was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the father,) full of the spirit
of God and his word. This is not stating that God was made flesh but his spoken and
written word was made flesh, there is a tremendous difference. For Christ was the
29
fulfillment of the prophesies. 15- “John bare witness of him and cried,
saying, this was he of whom I spoke, He that cometh after me is
preferred before me: for he was the promise that was before
me.” 16- “And of his faith and walk with the spirit of God have we
received the spirit of God and his word.” 17- “For the law was
given by Moses, but faith and truth came by Jesus Christ.” 18-
“No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son,
which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.”
Christ was a child of faith. He was conceived in faith, Mary like Sara believed and because
of that faith and a husband that stood by her which allowed the promise to Abraham to be
fulfilled. Jesus accepted his responsibilities and fulfilled the prophesies which completed
the written word by giving it life. This is what God has wanted from the beginning of time,
sons and daughters, children. Not servants following task but children. Christ was the first
born not the last. I say this because through him is the seed of faith passed on to us and by
understanding will that seed of faith grow.

I would also like to point out something that I believe to be extremely impressive and it has
to do with when Jesus was on the cross. John 19; 32. “Then came the soldiers,
and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which were
crucified with him.” 33. “But when they came to Jesus, and saw
that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:” 34. “But one
of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came
there out blood and water.” 35. “And he that saw it bare record,
and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that
you might believe.” 36. “For these things were done, that the
scripture should be fulfilled. A bone of him shall not be broken.”
37. “And another scripture saith, they shall look on him whom
they pierced.”
What I want to point out that is so significant is when the soldier stuck a spear in Jesus is
what came out of him blood and water. I believe this water is the water of life. Remember
the Samaritan woman and the discussion about the water of life. This is so cool and so sad
at the same time. Jesus had received the water of life. This is the same water he told the
30
Samaritan woman about, being spilled out. This was the manifestation of the Water of Life.
John Chapter 4 verse 10- “Jesus answered and said to her, if thou
knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me
drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would given thee
living water.” John 7; 38. “He that believeth on me as the scripture
hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” 39.
“But this spake he of the Spirit, of God which they that believe
on him should receive the living water: for the Holy Ghost was
not yet given; because Jesus was not yet glorified.” It is my thought
that the water pouring out of Christ is just that, living water or the water of life. The
manifestation of the Holy Spirit was so strong in Christ that the manifestation poured out of
him as he died. This is the same as the manifestation that was poured out at Pentecost.
Remember Jesus was the first born of the Spirit after the resurrection. Before that point he
received the spirit just as any other. The principles apply just same as they did with Adam
and Eve.

I know I just seem to be going on and on from one thought to another but I think all of these
topics are important. Another topic that is important to understand is the Trinity.
First of all you need to understand is that Jesus was not God and neither is the Holy Spirit.
God is one. God did not become a man and then become the Holy Spirit. God is, how ever
Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit was poured out at the time of Pentecost, the water of Life and is
the same spirit that was given to the prophets and to Jesus which is the same spirit we lost at
the time of Adam and Eve. This is the clothing or bond we lost which was only bought back
for us by the spilling of innocent blood, Jesus blood. This Holy Spirit is what Jesus talked to
Nicodemus about. Holy Spirit is the comforter, the seed from the tree of life, if you but
provide the proper ground and you are the ground that determines whether the seed grows or
withers.

I know many cling to the thought that Jesus was God. They quote John, Hebrews and
Revelations but we have looked at these and tell you truly that this is not the case. I have
just explained John so let’s look at Hebrews. 1:1 “God, who at sundry times
and divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the

31
prophets,” 1: 2 “Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his
Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom he
made the worlds:” In this statement God is telling us that he Spoke to us through
the prophets in the past but now God has spoken to us through his Son who he hath
appointed as heir to all things. The confusion comes with the word by. This word should be
translated for which then reads correctly “for whom he made the ages.” Remember he has
just made his son heir so if you read it for whom he made the ages it makes sense and if you
read it as by then you diminish the power of God. Then you are stating that God is making
Jesus heir to what Jesus created. Remember God is One. The word worlds should also be
translated as ages not worlds. This is because the inheritance is eternity not places. Jesus
was born at a particular time and did not exist other than as a promise until he was born. No
different than you or me. 1:3 “Who being the brightness of his glory, and
the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the
word of his power, when he had himself purged our sins, sat
down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;” Who reflected and
personified the essence of God’s creation in man, and the manifestation of the relationship
that God has always wanted with us as father and child, giving life to the written word and
having fulfilled the prophesies, purged our sins, and earned a seat on the right side of God
our father. 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he
hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.”
1:5 “For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art
my Son, this day have I begotten thee?” “And again, I will be to
him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?” 1: 6 “And again,
when he bringeth in the first begotten into this world, he saith,
and let the angels worship him.” 1:7 “And the angels he saith,
Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.”
1: 8 “But unto the Son he saith, thy throne, O God is forever and
ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy Kingdom.”
These are exaltations given to Christ who God has been given a seat to his right and stated
that indeed you are my son and have earned your inheritance and as heir the son becomes as
his father a God. Likes beget likes. Now this takes place after Christ conquers death and
ascends to heaven not before. He had to fulfill the scripture to earn this seat and privilege.
32
1: 9 “Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore
God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness
above thy fellows.” Above thy fellows references us. Remember the Lord’s Prayer.
How does it begin “Our Father”. 1:10 “And, thou, Lord in the beginning
hast laid the Foundation of the earth; and heavens are the work
of thine hands:” This statement is referencing God’s work not Christ and that God’s
work which was the creation of the earth and heavens will wax old and perish but Christ
will not because he has taken his rightful seat as a son to the right side of his father and is
heir to the ages which is time and time does not wax old like the physical. This is further
explained in Chapter 2:7 “Thou madest him a little lower than the
angels; thou crownesdst him with glory and honour, didst set him
over the works of thy hands;” The works of God’s hands not Christ. The works
of Christ is the fulfillment of the prophecies, the fulfillment of God’s word, the sacrifice of
innocent blood, faith and resurrection. God’s word does not contradict itself it is just our
perceptions and interpretations. God is One.
There are those that also quote Revelations 1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which
was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” This statement comes after the
word amen in the previous verse and the word amen is used at the end of a statement not the
continuation of one. So what John is referencing is God not Christ. The previous verses
referenced Christ and concluded with amen and references God the father of Christ. God is
the almighty the beginning and end, the Almighty. Let me put to you this way. Sometimes
association seems help. Think of the Sun and the Moon. The sun generates the light we see
and the warmth we feel. The moon reflects only a small portion of the suns light. This is the
difference in God and Christ. But Christ is the promise and fulfillment of the promise.
Which is the beginning and the end of the fulfillment of the prophesy or promise but not the
almighty. With that said, I will state that those that say this references Christ as God. Again
they error not understanding the body of Christ. Christ is the first and the last because we
are justified in him. Not because of the creation. He is the head of the body and we are but
parts within this body. Therefore he is the first and last but he is not the almighty that is
God. Christ is the redeemer. Not you, not me or your minister, or church. Christ
determines whether you are a part of his body and it is him and him alone that has earned

33
this right. And he did earn it. We can choose to be children of faith in Christ or children
justified by self. What I mean by this is either you allow Christ to carry your sins and
burdens or you carry them and justify yourself to God. One should ask the question. Do you
believe you can justify yourself to God? For you to be able to do this then you would be
subject to the law and would be obligated to complete the task that Christ completed. Again
I will remind you that sin is the separation from God. This is what happened in the pursuit
of self at the time of Adam and Eve. I think it is important to also explain Jesus statement in
John 6: 38 “I come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but
the will of him that sent me.” And 6: 62 “What if you shall see
the Son of Man ascend up where he was before” These statements are
not literal but referencing the promise. Christ was and is the promise from God and as the
promise came from God who is in heaven. The only difference is that he came from heaven
as a promise and returned to heaven as the fulfillment of the promise. Again I will remind
those that state Christ was God on Earth. You are correct in the fact that Christ did the work
of his Father and because of this you see God in him but he was not God in the literal sense.
It was by man that we became separated from God and in separation came death and it was
by man that we became connected and in this connection death was conquered. Remember
here we are talking about conquering death and death has never had a hold of God just over
man so it was up to man and man alone to change what he had done, not God. Had it been
up to God he could and would have changed it immediately but it was not up to him, it was
up to us because we created the separation. The separation had to be bridged and that could
only be done by man. That bridge was built by faith.

Now I think we need to discuss the importance of faith. Faith is what was described in the
beginning of Genesis Chapters 1 and 2. This is part of the key to understanding our
relationship with God our Father. Creation took generations to complete but it was also the
act of faith or believing. It was envisioned first and then came into manifestation or given
life by faith. So when the Bible talks of the children of God then it is in this ability of taking
a leap faith that we either manifest or we don’t. What I saying is that God planted the seed
of life in the pursuit of children. The Bible describes God and I hope you remember what
we said earlier, God is Spirit. And as stated before the Bible describes this consciousness
and this is what his children must be, of the same a consciousness. This is the purpose of life

34
to evolve into this consciousness, which relates to becoming a child of God. If you see
yourself as just a piece of clay then that is what you are. As you see yourself so are you.
This is the principle that Christ taught us “Be it unto you as you belief” “your faith has
made you whole” these truths are a foundation. This is also why Christ said that it was
easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the
kingdom of heaven. This is because this man has bound himself to the clay. This can be
expanded. Where the heart is so is the mind and we are heart and mind. Yes we have bodies
but the heart and mind is what makes you the person you are. Now if you see yourself
strictly as a physical creature then that is what you are. There is nothing wrong with that but
that is what you are. So when you have lost that physical you have lost your connection to
life because that is how you see yourself as a physical body; “Be it unto to you as you
believe.” On the other hand if you see yourself as more than just a physical creature then
you may find yourself another home or shelter. The difference of these houses is what
determines sustainability or life. Christ conquered death. You have not. I think that you
need to remember also that God is the God of the living so when you die then you must be
attached to the Living. What other way is there to do this than through Christ, who
conquered death?

So you need to ask yourself what makes sense. Do you believe or not. Now there are those
that will say if I am spirit then why do I need a house? A house is a vessel that provides
support. Just as your mother and father care for you as you develop from a baby into a man
or woman. So does God our Father but just as all parents you can point your children in a
direction and encourage them, it still does not guarantee they will choose the path you hoped
they would take. Our father would prefer to lead us but it is our choices that determine the
path we follow. Just think of the chaos that would happen if God had children as we do.

I want to address I John Chapter 5: 7. – For there are three that bear record
in heaven; the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these
three are one. 8.- And there are three that bear witness in earth,
the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in
one.” There are those that state this is a foundation for the belief in a trinity. I will state
it again the Lord God is One. God is not a trinity. God is not divided. I ask you to

35
remember a statement made by Jesus. When he stated that “For I have given them
the words that thou has given me; for they are thine.” So in this
statement Jesus is telling us that it is God’s Word that he has given us not his own. Jesus
gave life to God’s word. Jesus received the Holy Spirit at his baptism. Jesus received God’s
Spirit and spoke what the Spirit of truth gave him. Remember Matthew Chapter 26: 39.-
”And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed,
saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me:
nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.” This is stating that Christ
accepted the cup that was given him. He walked the path that fulfilled the prophesies full
knowing where the path was taking him. What I hope you see here is that Jesus received the
Holy Spirit and with the Spirit of Truth, the word of God which he in turn gave to us. Jesus
was not possessed he made choices and those choices were not always easy. Jesus was not
God on earth but he gave life to God’s word and made the choice to do so. He honestly put
God first above self. Do not divide God, he is one. It is because of Jesus faith and his
fulfillment of the prophesies that death was conquered and the Holy Spirit was poured out to
all that believe, to the children of faith.

I would like people to think about the topic of belief. Most people do not have a clear idea
of what they believe. I do believe there are many people in this world that are religious.
What I mean by this is that they are superstitious. They are people that are caught up more
in the tradition of something rather than the understanding of it. Because I believe it is
easier to sometimes see the mistake of others than ourselves. I will reference the Hebrew
nation during the time of Jesus rather than point out those today in hope we see the
similarities. The bond with the Hebrew nation was born of faith. Abraham had faith and
held to the promise by faith. Moses was the law giver but he stood before the Pharaoh of
Egypt in faith. While the spiritual leaders during the time of Jesus based their teachings not
on faith but the laws that were given as a guide of good practices. I would hope that these
laws remain as tools or guides as how to treat not only your friends but all people. But at the
same time know that they are only tools and guides. The difference is the children of God
are of faith. When Jesus taught the word to the Hebrew nation he had to fulfill the
prophesies of the bible, so on the whole he taught by parables. In this way he could teach
the truth but hide it at the same time. This was done to fulfill the prophesies.

36
Truths were given to simple fisherman, to straight forward men, to men of the season,
Pisces. Jesus did not give these truths to be analyzed and approved by men of power but
accepted on faith. Faith is not a science or philosophy. Faith is not learned or earned, it
does not require a degree, faith requires no task or sacrifice. One need not become a
philosopher or theologian to have faith. Faith is child like. Faith is not hopeful. It is. The
truths of God are not given to men in trances, God does not take over a person nor do his
messengers. All one has to do is read the word and the examples are there, then just think
about it and the picture will become clear. God has never taken control of anyone but there
are those that would and Christ showed us these. Do not think these are not real. Just as
God has Angels which serve him and are messengers and protectors to us there are others
that knowingly separated themselves from God. God’s word shows so many examples.

So, what happened to the Hebrew nation is they became a people justified not by their faith
but by their history and by their laws. But because none could meet the standard of the law,
they began to buy and sell salvation. The Synagogue focused on service to those who could
afford salvation and who could support the temple which was more of a monument to man
rather than to God. God has no need for Cathedrals or monuments. His Cathedrals are You.
What greater monument is there to a father than a child he is proud of? The Pharisees knew
the word and the law but there was no life in the law, just empty sacrifices, the sacrifices of
servants not children, blind and obedient with no understanding of the word. The word
became only a book of philosophy and history, used more as a tool to control the social order
of the people not much different than what has happened in our time. It seems that we are
not much different, our hearts have been hardened. We justify ourselves just as they
justified themselves calling themselves the chosen of God. We call ourselves Christians and
believe we are justified because we call ourselves Christians. But what makes a Christian a
Christian? The dictionary describes a Christian as Christ like. So what is Christ like? You
need to answer this question. The Bible provides many examples of a wide assortment of
characters. Do you see yourself as any of them? There are so many different sects of
Christians. All teaching variations of what they interpret the Bible to say. It is no different
than then. What I ask you to do is to question and determine for yourselves if what you are

37
being told makes sense. Does it teach that you can be a son or daughter of God or just a
servant? Remember the Lords prayer, it states our father not my father.

Injustice is injustice toward any one. When you use or abuse someone then you are doing
such to yourself. You just don’t see it yet. Some will never see it. We develop scares that
harden our hearts and impair our vision so we justify repeating the wrongs done to ourselves
and others. This becomes a norm an accepted disease. So we pass on our disease from one
generation to the next. Do not assume that God justifies as we do. Do not think that you
are justified because you believe in a history book and you are a good servant. God does not
need servants he wants children. This is what Christ has shown us.

I would like to take this time to point out that many today believe that they are justified by
their works. What I mean by this that they think no one religion or belief is correct so they
treat others as they want to be treated and believe that is what matters to God and only that.
What I would say to those is that if you are justified by such, then Christ is just a prophet and
the Bible is just a book that means no more than any other book. What I am saying is the
Bible differentiates itself from all others because it talks of children. What I am saying again
is that there is a difference between being a son or daughter and being a servant. The
differences we are talking about are discussed in both the new and old testaments but I will
reference the children of Abraham. Abraham had two children one which was born of a
bondmaid and the other born of his wife. The bondmaid and her son were sent away. The
bondmaid’s child did not share in the heritage with his brother. The same is true today.
What I am saying is that you have a choice to make and the choice is this, do you believe
Christ sacrifice was for you or not. I would like to point out something at this time that I do
not think most people understand. The whole Bible is about the separation of man from
God and then his connection back to God and it is through Christ that this connection was
completed. It is Christ that determines who are his brothers and sisters are, not anyone else.
And yes you should live a life after the model of Christ but no man can or will be redeemed
because he is justified by works of the law. Either you have life in the faith of Christ and
believe in the promise or you are of the flesh and your life is defined by your breath. We are
adopted children redeemed in the sacrifice of Christ not by our works but by faith. For death
was conquered not by our faith but by Christ. And we who are weak in faith are justified in

38
his faith. It is through one that we were separated from God and it through one that we are
justified. Galatians 3 – 6 “Now to Abraham and his seed were the
promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as many; but as one,
And to thy seed which is Christ.”

I hear so much fear these days. People are dwelling on the negative things happening in
this world rather than the positive. Jesus did not preach fear or doom and gloom. Jesus
exemplified the characteristics in Galatians 5; 22. “But the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,” 23.
“Meekness, temperance; against such there is no law.” Jesus taught
the truth, he did not preach fear. I will again ask people to remember what Jesus stated so
much “be it unto to you as you believe.” With this in mind I tell you that if you preach
doom and gloom and people accept this then they and you will receive it.

Stone throwers are not just people with rocks. So I caution you not to pick-up words and
beat someone down with those words.

Before I get into the topic of Noah I would like to talk about Cain. I do not think people
understand. Yes, I think they understand that Cain killed his brother and was sent away
from his parents but I don’t think most of us have picked up on some the facts stated in the
Bible. Genesis 4; 13, And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is
greater than I can bear. 14, behold thou has driven me out this
day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid;
and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall
come to pass , that every one that findeth me shall slay me. 15,
And the Lord said unto him, therefore whosoever slayeth Cain,
vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a
mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. 16, And Cain
went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of
Nod, on the east of Eden. 17 And Cain knew his wife; and she
conceived, and bare E’noch: and he builded a city, and called the
39
name of the city, after the name of his son, E’noch. First, I believe it
is important to hear that Cain was sent out and away from his family. Secondly, he states
that he is afraid that whosoever found him in this new land would kill him. Thirdly, he takes
a wife in this new land and has a son. Cain then builds a city, which he names after his son.
Normally a city references a large population and I believe it does here as well but if that is
the case where did they come from. Where did his wife come from? I believe many believe
that Adam and Eve had daughters that were not mentioned and Cain just took one with him
but this is not the case. Cain was sent out into the world where he thought other humans
would kill him. This is why he was marked. So those finding him would know not to kill
him. I think it is important to understand that he found a wife in this new land and that he
built a city. A city is only constructed so a population can co-exist. This means that even
though the Bible focus is on Adam and Eve and their heirs there had to be other humans on
the earth. Now the Bible does not specify or describe them any more than the sons and
daughters of man. So we can speculate all you want as to who they were but we do not
know. What we do know is that they existed. If not then Cain could not have had a Son.
Nor would he have worried about someone killing him. I want you remember this because it
comes into play in Genesis 6; 4 There were giants in the earth in those
days; and also after that, when the sons of God came unto the
daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same
became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. In
mythology, the sons of God would have been other spiritual beings known as mythical Gods
and Goddess or even angels but God’s word states very plainly that there was a mixing
between the Sons of God with the Sons of Man. The primary difference may have been
genetic in nature but remember God created us in his image which means that we were
created with his spirit in us and his spirit is ever lasting, without end. It is only through
separation from God that we began to age. Adam and Eve are the children of God which
became corrupted. When Cain went out into the world he met with other human life that
did not have the longevity of life as the Sons of God as described in the Bible for the
children of Adam and because of the mixing of strains that there arose mutations some giants
some with extra ordinary strength and abilities. Just imagine how Cain or Seth would have
seemed to those they came in contact with, almost as Gods themselves. And with the mixing
of these blood lines that the life spans became shorter and shorter and the Sons of God

40
became one and the same with the Sons of Man. With this in mind I hope you understand
that God placed his spirit into one physical form of a man, Adam. This is not when he
breathed in and became a living soul but when he separated him from the rest and put him in
the Garden of Eden. Most people assume that God is molding Adam out of the clay of the
earth like you would a pot but this is not the case. All creatures come from the clay of the
earth. This just distinguishes the physical form from the spiritual form which is Gods image.
God separated Adam and placed him in a protected area. God put within Adam his spirit,
this was done to one human form we know as Adam and God walked with Adam for some
time before he gave Adam the companion Eve. They were the children of God. The
children of God were created in the image of God which is Spirit and this was placed into
the form of clay we call our body. It is this spirit that the Bible focuses on in the beginning
given to one man and lost through conscious separation and again won by one man. When
we look at it this way we see the world as always at odds with the Spirit of God. Now I
want to make it clear that the flood changed everything. I believe this makes it much clearer
when the Bible references Christ as the Son of God and the Son of Man. Indeed we all are.

People tell me they just can’t believe in the flood or the topic of Noah and the Ark. There
is no way that these animals could have got to the Ark from around the world let alone live
in the Ark for all that time. And science says there is no proof the flood ever happened and
there should be. Science also states that if that much water had covered the earth then we
would have lost our atmosphere and everything on the Ark would have died as well. The
stories of the Ark come from all over the world not just the Bible. I guess what I am saying
is people make choices everyday and for some reason they choose to believe in something
that they can imagine. And we all have an imagination. But because we are all are different
we can’t and don’t see the same things. This is probably a good thing. Wouldn’t it be
horrible if we all were the same?

The story of Noah and the Ark is an amazing act of faith but not only of Noah’s faith but of
his whole family. I know most people focus on the animals and how could this be possible
but I think the animal part was not near as incredible as the family portion. I want to point
out that Noah took his immediate family, his children and their wives not his parents nor his
grandparents, not brothers or sisters not his father-in-law or mother-in-law. So why didn’t

41
God or Noah include any of his brothers or sisters on what was happening? I believe Noah
probably did but they on the other hand did not put much trust in what Noah was saying.
Remember the construction of this ship took a tremendous amount of time not only from
Noah but from his children, who followed Noah blindly, while his siblings did not. Noah
and his immediate family must have seemed like such an oddity and you know we all want
to fit in and be accepted to be popular but that path may not be the best path to take. We all
might benefit from taking a step back and collecting our thoughts before we jump in and
follow the path most traveled. Just think about how incredible that was. What if that
would have happened today, what do think would happen? Probably not the same result.
Do you think he would have been given a building permit?

His wife and sons and there spouses all worked to help Noah complete a task, a task that
today would have probably put him in an asylum or at least on 6:00 news. Most families
today have trouble coming together for a Holiday let alone staying together for how many
years. Just think about it, each of his children and their families working to build something
on faith. But their faith was in Noah. Noah told his family that God spoke to him and told
him to build this huge boat “the Ark” and they did. So lets think about this, the Ark was not
built over night and the Family had to be under constant persecution from there neighbors let
alone the sight seer’s from word of mouth. If you just think about it I think you will get the
picture. They were building a tremendous three story structure, one that had to have an
impact on all that saw it. I know the Bible doesn’t say anything about the interaction with
others but there had to be at least a basic communication. He probably even told them what
he was doing and why and more than likely they just laughed.

I believe I should point out that the time of Noah starts in the fifth chapter of Genesis and is
last mentioned in the tenth Chapter of Genesis. But there are other references to the flood
and to Noah but they are just references, such as II Peter Chapter 2. Verse 5. And
spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a
preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world
of the ungodly. I mentioned this because again we get confused by statements within
the Bible. Here it states that Noah was the eighth person. I know when most people read
this and they interpret this to say that Noah was just one of the eight saved, Noah’s wife and

42
three sons with their wives. I am not sure that is what it is referring too. It also states that
God caused a flood upon the world because the world became ungodly. But how could this
be by what is stated? First thing to do is look at the lineage. We start with 1-Adam then 2-
Eve, 3- Abel who is killed by his Brother 4-Cain, who is then sent away but builds a city for
his wife and son, followed by 5-Seth. Seth has only one of his sons mentioned, 6-Enos but
the Bible states he has other sons and daughters, which are not mentioned. Enos had a son
named 7-Cainan which had a son named 8-Mahalaleel who fathered 9-Jared, who had a son
named 10-Enoch who had 11-Methuseah followed by his son 12-Lamech , who had a son
named 13-Noah. Let’s count the names mentioned. I count 13 persons that are at least
named but there are those that are just mentioned as other sons and daughters. So how did
we get from what seems like a handful of people to a whole world of ungodly. The Bible is
about the children of God and thereby references the lineage of Adam. So as we have stated
earlier and what we are saying is just because you belong to select group here on earth does
not guarantee you anything in the eye of God. Of a world only thirteen are mentioned and I
believe only eight are counted. So what of the thousands of other souls? I believe this is
food for thought.
Noah was five hundred years old when he started having children. Noah had three sons
named, Shem, Ham and Japheth that is two more named than any before him accept for
Adam. Well the point to this is you have to do more than just be born if you want to be
counted. Noah was about six hundred when they entered into the Ark. The Bible tells us
that his father lived only about 595 years after Noah was born so it would seem that would
explain why he wasn’t included but what of his mother or brothers and sisters. Can you
imagine how hard that would have been? We see illustrations of the animals entering into
the Ark and yes it is amazing but I want you to think about a couple other stories in the Bible
and ask you to weigh it out. What of Daniel in the Lions Den, the parting of the Red Sea, of
Christ feeding a multitude of people with just a few loafs of bread and a few fish? What I
guess I am trying to get people to acknowledge is that the Bible is a composite of miracles
and miracles are nothing more than acts of faith, and faith is nothing more than the
manifestation of believing. This is what so many activities are based on, a vision. If you
look at this earth you will see it is a composite of miracles, so I ask you not to loose site of
this.

43
I know we all basically assume the earth was then as it is today but I don’t believe that. I
believe there was a tremendous flood and yes it rained for forty days and nights but we are
talking about a tremendous amount of water to cover the mountains. What I believe
happened was much more than rain. I believe the rain is what Noah saw and is what he was
told about, but the rain was caused by something, a change in the earth. We are not told
what this was but for this to have occurred required some major changes in our world. I
believe these changes are reflected in the world we see today but I do not know what the
changes were.

P.S.
Here is what I hope people get out of this.
All physical things are bound by the same laws and principles, causes and affects that
provide the stability we enjoy.
The ages are no different than the seasons and how they affect us.
The time we have here is limited and it is up to us to make the most of it. We have the
choice to live as Sons and Daughters or we can live just like any other animals. It is our
choice.
The truths are truths no matter if they are in the Bible or books of science they are, our
guidelines and principles and these are the building blocks that are to be applied to the gift of
life and its cycle.
I will say that the Old Testament is only completed with the New Testament and the New
Testament is only justified by the fulfillment of the prophecies of the Old Testament.
Also it is important to understand that the Bible and the theory of evolution do not contradict
each other they are both saying the same thing with one focusing on how and the other
focusing on why, different perspectives we just let our imaginations get carried away.

Abraham was the father of the Hebrew nation. The promise was established with him. The
point I am trying to make is that the Bible goes back much further than this and the men of
God were not just Hebrews. Noah for example was not a Hebrew but he was a man of God.
Enoch was a man of God but he was not a Hebrew. I think it is important remember these
things because so many people lose site in that fact that the Bible covers more than the
linage of just the Hebrew nation. The point of this is that there was a tremendous amount of

44
time that passed after the time of Adam and Eve until Abraham all which is covered in just
thirteen chapters of Genesis. The Bible explains that man was created so God could have
children but it has always been our choice to become one or not. I ask you to think about
Christ as our example of how we should be and what we are capable of becoming but for
this to be you need to believe. I would take this a step further and state that all life was
created with the purpose that God might have children. The Bible is written for us but this is
because it is directed to us but the truths are still the same and the principles would apply to
any world where life can evolve into creatures of thought.

The struggle of life and for life is not God punishing us but the results of choice some of
which are ours and some made for us by others and the ever changing world we live in.

Creation began with thought and our physical world is the result of it but not the end of it.

The Ten Commandments:
1. Thou shalt have no other Gods before me.
2. Thou shalt not make any Graven Image
3. Thou shalt not take the Lords Name in Vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath, to keep it Holy.

45
5. Honor thy Father and Mother
6. Thou shalt not Kill
7. Thou shalt not commit Adultery
8. Thou shalt not Steal
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness.
10. Thou shalt not Covet

The Ten Commandments were summarized by Jesus Christ the Son of Man and the Son of
God: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with
all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great
commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all
the law and the prophets. With this I think we need to reiterate Galatians
5; 14. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Your neighbor is not just the person
living next door but across town, across the country and in different countries all around the
world. I want you take notice the Law, all of the Law was just interpreted for you in a
summary. This summary was used in the Lords Prayer. It’s taking an old foundation and
explaining from a different perspective but it is the same. Again this is what I am trying to
explain. The truths do not change but hopefully our perspective does because hopefully we
have grown. Galatians 15. But if you bite and devour one another,
take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. 16. This I say
then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the
flesh, 17. For the flesh lusted against the Spirit and the Spirit
against the flesh; and these are contrary one to the other; so
that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18. But if ye be led
of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19. Now the works of the
flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery: voluntary sexual
intercourse between a married person and someone other than his or her lawful spouse. This
represents the breaking of the Bond between God and man. Fornication: voluntary
sexual intercourse between two unmarried persons or two persons not married to each other.
This represents act of lust and loss of self control. Uncleanness: having a physical or
46
moral blemish so as to make impure according to the laws. This covers a wide range of acts
and thoughts that affect the health and the well being of the body and the soul.
Lasciviousness: inclined to lustfulness; wanton; lewd: a lascivious, girl/boy-chasing
old man or woman. The Bible has many examples such as Herod with his brother’s
daughter. 20. Idolatry: the religious worship of idols, excessive or blind adoration,
reverence, devotion. This can be given to men and women as well as items.
Witchcraft: the art or practices of a witch; sorcery; magic, voodoo, amulets and charms.
Any practice of the dark arts that is used with the intent to invoke control or fear in others.
Hatred: the feeling of one who hates; intense dislike or extreme aversion or hostility.
This is a destructive binding to you and your focus just as love is binding. Variance: a
departure from the cause of action originally stated in the complaint such as the twisting of
the truth for one’s personal benefit. Emulations: jealous rivalry that is destructive in
nature; An example would be Cain with Abel but is not confined to an individual in that
organizations can adopt such tendencies. Wrath: vengeance or punishment as the
consequence of anger; when people are hurt by others they can strike out at either the point
of focus or an association of the focus which is usually destructive to all concerned.
Strife: vigorous or bitter conflict, discord, or antagonism; this is not internal but external
toward others. Seditions: any action, esp. in speech or writing, promoting such
discontent or rebellion; this is an action that promotes justifying the use of harm to others
because of differences in race, gender, religious and political believes and such.
Heresies: opinion or doctrine at variance with the written doctrine twisting truth to fit a
lie. Envying: a feeling of discontent or covetousness with regard to another's
advantages, success, possessions; Murders: the killing of another human;
Drunkenness: given to drunkenness; the loss of control of one self by the use of
alcohol and drugs. Revellings: to make merry; indulge in boisterous festivities, to
indulge in luxury, a party animal. Remember that even though all these are directed toward
the individuals they all apply to groups, organizations, political entities and religious entities
as well. What I mean by that is that there are those that have sown weeds into what was
fertile ground that they have been natured and taken root in organizations. And such
like: of which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time
past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the
Kingdom of God. 22. But the Fruit of the Spirit is love, a feeling of
47
warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend. Love is not
lustful, nor is it turned off and on like a faucet but flows freely and is given without
condition it is the sum of all the ret of the fruit of the spirit. Joy, the emotion of great
delight or happiness joy is filling to overflowing so that it is shared. Peace, freedom of
the mind from annoyance, distraction, anxiety, or obsession, providing comfort to others.
Longsuffering, is long and patient endurance of injury, trouble, or provocation, looking
not to the present for immediate gratifications but always looking toward the future seeking
long term solutions and rewards ; Gentleness, not severe, rough, or violent in actions
or words goodness, kindly feeling; kindness; generosity; faith, belief that is not
based on proof 23. meekness, humbly patient or docile, as under provocation from
others.; temperance, moderation or self-restraint in action, statement and self-control:
against such things there is no law. I would like to point out that there are
nine manifestations described as the fruit of the Spirit while there are seventeen
manifestations described as the works of the flesh. I would hope you see a correlation
between the positive and negative. The positive manifestations are described as fruit which
are manifestations of fertility and the negative are described as works. I would have you
think about yourself and how do you see yourself. Know that you will judge yourself. What
I mean by this is that you will see yourself for what you are. Not in the light of your present
understanding but as you are seen. When you are raised you are not a body of flesh and
blood but a spirit and you will either be a spirit of light or you will not. I would not add or
subtract from these but I would mention one should pray that God opens to all that ask the
book of knowledge and with knowledge they gain understanding and with understanding,
wisdom and with wisdom may the fruit of the spirit manifest within you. Now I think we
need to return back to Matthew 15: 9. But in vain they do worship me,
teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. What this is
telling us is that we do not need to burden those that would seek the truth with weights of our
traditions. I would take this time to point it out for those that are absolute in their thought.
These truths are but guidelines. Do not get caught up in absolutes. Life is a journey an
evolution, where change is the constant. The truth does not change but the perception is
always in change. Our ability to understand what we are given today will become clearer as
the point where we stand in the present, becomes history. I say history instead the past
because unless we learn from the past the value is not gained. With knowledge we can gain

48
an understanding and with understanding we can gain wisdom and wisdom is only of value
if shared. But only through the simplicity of believing is faith empowered and it is not a
religious doctrine it is simply child like. Keep it simple

Now the Sadducees not believing in the resurrection asked Christ a question about the
resurrection concerning marriage of a woman to seven brothers. Christ answered them in the
following way. Luke 20, 34: And Jesus answering said unto them, the
children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: 35: But
they which will be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and
the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in
marriage: 36: Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to
the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the
resurrection. Matthew 24, 31: And he shall send his angels with a
great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his
elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Now I would like to present some different thoughts about what Christ stated about going to
heaven and preparing houses for us. I ask you consider that you are now occupying a house.
The Physical Shell, our body is our house. So when Christ stated that he was going to
prepare a house for us, he meant that we have steps to take and that what we are taking now
is only a step on a stairway that leads to different levels of consciousness? What I am
suggesting is each level allows us growth of consciousness which in turn brings us closer to
God’s consciousness. What I am saying is that this first step is critical for in it we become
as the angles, spiritual beings and Children of the resurrection. I know it does not say but I
believe the consciousness of the angles are only a step forward and not complete. We are
children of the resurrection which here was made possible through the faith of Christ and I
ask you take note it states singular not plural. So could the angels be beings that have gone
through the same process we are going through as well only not of this world. What does it
say in Matthew the gathering will take place from the four winds and from one end of
heaven to the other? If we were the only children then it would state our world alone but it
does not. It is also important to see we are obtaining a world. This tells me we are

49
inheriting a new world unlike the one we are in, a world that is incorruptible but never less
still a world. And when I think of a world then I think of the world as a safe environment in
which a seed is planted and nurtured to grow, develop and evolve. This means steps to me.
I think of this as positive. All creation is connected and each atom connects to another and
provides the building blocks that support the development and evolution of life, a process
that gives rise to the birth of children, which is the purpose of all creation. We must
remember God is Spirit and for him to have children must be through the spark of life that
gives rise to the development consciousness. I know we see ourselves as the ultimate
development of life but we are only for this world at this time. I believe this same process is
happening throughout the heavens with the same purpose in mind, of having children,
kindred spirits and this may be what angels are, kindred spirits, beings of another time and
another place and have gone through the same process but we are not told. It is not the form
of life that is important but the consciousness; it is the Spirit within life that either evolves or
becomes extinct. All life is valuable because all life is built on one life giving its life that
another life may live, continually developing, changing and evolving. Look at yourself, you
are a miniature of this process. Are you the same as when you were born? Of course not.
We evolve, grow, learn and have our own children which in turn repeat the process. All life
does this. It is in this process throughout the heavens that allows God to have children.

This is what the word of God tells you. The purpose of all creation is so God could have
children. God does not care what world they come from and not all worlds give rise to
children. Remember the time of Noah and how many souls were counted. This is a process
of the development of consciousness that is kindred to God’s. It is a process of evolution
that steps past the physical to the spirit within and acknowledging
“Be it unto you as you believe”.

I would like to take some time to explain one of many questions

I would like to reference some issues of the times because I don’t think people understand
what the thought was when the bible tells us that man shall not have sexual intercourse with

50
another man and that doing so is an abomination. First I think we need to go to the
dictionary to get a definition for Abomination: Anything greatly disliked or abhorred. 2.
Intense aversion or loathing; detestation. 3. Vile, shameful, or detestable action, condition,
habit. Syn. 2. Hatred 3. Corruption, depravity. There is a thought behind this and it is based
on nature. What I mean is for any species to survive it must be productive. In other words
it must mate with the opposite sex. If it does not then the seed within it will die and vice
versa the female’s egg will not be productive which leads to the end of that lineage. This is
not healthy for a species whether it is man or any creature because if we do not reproduce
then the species will not survive. In other words it is an act against nature, ergo it is an
abomination.

In the Bible sex is considered as a climatic act between a husband and wife but if the couple
is the same sex then it cannot be productive and if it is not productive then it becomes
corrupted because it is not productive. There are two ways this basically can happen one is
when the genetic code becomes messed up basically a wiring issue and the other is when the
mind itself gets messed up which is a software clinch, either way it is not natural nor the way
it is supposed to be. This is just one of so many things that happen in the process of
evolution. In the process of evolution there are always clinches some that work to a species
favor and some do not and nature takes its course. If someone isn’t the way they should be,
do we condemn them. Should we stone them? Would Christ? I am not saying you have to
except the condition as a norm but if you hate, then you are now manifesting a work of the
flesh and what does the Word say of this. Galatians 5: 19. “Now the works of the
Flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fortification,
uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20. Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred,
variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21.
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings and such like:” And
such like: of which I tell you before, as I have also told you in
time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the
Kingdom of God. I reference the works of the flesh again because I see so many
that call themselves Christian but are acting as beast and serving the beast all in the name of
Christ. The works of the flesh are not justified and have no part within the Kingdom of

51
Heaven. Do not let this world twist the truth within your mind or heart. None of these acts
are acceptable.

There are people that consider themselves to be followers of Christ or at least Christians but
their words and actions say differently. I believe most only follow the path that is socially
accepted. In other words they follow the path that their parents followed and even though
they are not sure why, it is the norm that everyone else is accepting and doing. So if you
were raised Christian then you will probably remain Christian or at least follow the social
norm that is taught as Christian. If you were raised Jewish, Islam, Muslim or Buddhism as
your cultural norm then that is path that you will probably follow. This is because we want
and need to be accepted. There are few that venture from this path and most that stray from
this do so because they have become frustrated. Questioning but not hearing answers. So
they drift as a ship in a sea without stars to navigate and no way to set a course. A ship
adrift will loose site of the truths and principles that provide a solid ground to build on. And
if there is no solid ground then how can one have understanding to give purpose to life.
Then we wander aimlessly and yet we see no one else doing anything differently than what
we are doing so we find comfort in that, in numbers and association. So we attach ourselves
to this group or that one whomever we find association with. Some find solace with work
others with organizations of either those of like mind or ones we believe are socially
acceptable while others drift to rebel causes. All of which is to fill a void that is within us, to
believe we matter or count for something. This is an effort to help us feel better about
ourselves, so we can feel that we are not alone. So we feel safe. This is has not changed
since the time of the Garden of Eden. It is the realization that we became naked and with
this separated from God. It has not changed. I believe the word of God tells us this and that
Christ is our example of what we can become if we but accept what he did for us and what
he taught. It will become common sense.

I find it some what ironic that for God to have children they must first be born of flesh. Only
then can the choice be made as to whether you serve the beast or God.
