55) Choosing To Give One’s Life To Another

Leave a comment

Imagine Adam’s horror when he saw his wife after she was affected by her substance use. The above image of before and after methamphetamine use gives an idea of what Adam might have seen, what God certainly sees, and what ministers in God’s kingdom can ask God to open their eyes to see – the nature of everyone who is spiritually the “walking dead”, mindlessly straining to lay hold on an illusory source of life.

“and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.” (Genesis 3:6)

When God asks Mr. Adam for an explanation for his action, he is often accused of blame-shifting to his wife.

“The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree.” (Genesis 3:12)

Plotted as it was by the Adversary, Adam’s act of eating the fruit was certainly condemned by “the accuser of the brethren” – and legalistic religionists – but it condemned by God?

A good ending has certain elements…the character has achieved their main goal.

56) Forgiveness Is Suffering The Consequences Of Another’s Sin

It doesn’t take much thought to refute his point of view.

The idea that deadly cancer can be cured without a major disruption to the system is, from an objective point of view, a very pleasant idea, but a fatal one, and so it is with sin. IT IS A MALIGNANT FORCE OF DEATH THAT HAS TO BE FOUGHT.

Whatever Mrs. Adam had been thinking when she ate the fruit, she now understood was a lie.

““the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked / defenseless against God’s judgment.

Dreams of being unaccountably naked in public, common to humanity, may be atavistic memories of this first day of exposure to judgment.

When you are without your clothes, you are also most vulnerable. The dream of becoming mortified at the realization that you are naked in public may reflect a waking situation where you fear being exposed and feelings of shame. 

“and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God.”

57) Sacrificial Love Fulfills All The Law

Leave a comment

The Silence of the Lambs is a novel that won the 1988 Bram Stoker Award and 1989 Anthony Award for Best Novel. It was adapted into a film in 1991 that won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay. It is the only horror film to win Best Picture and the first and only horror film to win the “Big Five Awards” at the Oscars.

The Silence of the Lambs Title Is A Metaphor For Innocent Victims

As a little girl growing up on a sheep ranch in Montana Clarice Starling would hear lambs crying out in agony. When she investigated, she discovered the spring lambs being slaughtered. Clarice couldn’t stand to see them suffering, so she attempted to escape with one, but failed. As an adult she becomes an FBI agent – a dangerous, lonely and tormented way of life – as a means of saving human innocents who can’t protect themselves.

It’s just a question of believing if saving someone else’s life is worth giving up yours.

And for Adam, it was.

Adam knew the consequences when he chose to eat the fruit.

“Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” (I Timothy 2:14)

It was Adam’s faith that his Father would be faithful to his word to grant dominion to mankind if Adam was faithful to God’s instructions to never leave nor forsake his wife that empowered him to face death, sure that the source of all life would be able and willing to override death.

“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God.” (Romans 8:38-39)

And when Adam responded to his partner’s need with faith in God, regardless of the consequences to himself, God’s will for humanity was executed.

Faith in God’s love is learned from experiencing love from the sons of God who have developed his likeness.

“all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love _____ as thyself.” (Galatians 5:14)

God’s transfer of dominion to humanity was validated and his control upheld.

  • “I [the woman] am crucified [died on the tree] with YHVH’s Chosen One / Christ [Adam]:
    • nevertheless I live;
  • yet not I, but YHVH’s Anointed / Christ liveth in me:
    • and the life which I now live in the [mortal] flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20)

SECTION XI: Death Is Mortals’ Greatest Weapon Against Immortals

Death was not a legal punishment for eating the fruit. It was an unalterable consequence of the science of Physics which maintains order in the material world. As a manifestation of the Physics law of Entropy, it is the inexorable degradation from Order to Decay in the absence of constant input of Energy from the Singularity’s c2. 

In non-material spirit beings, the degradation from order to decay happens immediately, and immortal beings who separate themselves from the Singularity are forced to constantly hunt down sources of energy to maintain their autonomy from the surrounding energy chaos – think of it like avoiding falling into a fire – or being swallowed up by another hangry spirit being. Best case scenario, flash frozen into immobility.

No doubt this explains why the spirit being Lucifer enlisted a material equivalent serpent to act on his behalf.

“And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:” (Genesis 3:14)

But in material beings’ case, the toxin in the fruit consumed by the Adams was effected in their genetics. Their bodies did not instantly stop functioning, but the process of slow degradation of genetic control over cellular level function was set into motion over a lifetime of gradual degradation of the telomeres at the ends of the chromosomes.

Bearing in mind that the concept of time wasn’t yet in existence when the Adams ate the fruit, we can imagine Lucifer’s response – “Curses! Foiled again!” when the Adams didn’t flash freeze like Lucifer.

58) Transferred, Transformed, Transcended

Leave a comment

Again with the Game Of Thrones analogy:

Davos, a sailor knowledgeable of all the ways and means around the island kingdom fiefdom of Land’s End, saved his Lord Stannis Baratheon’s realm from surrender to the enemy’s naval blockade with his smuggled foods.

Nonetheless, because the word had gone out of his mouth and Stannis never went back on his word, he cut off Davos’ fingers as punishment for the crime of smuggling.

BUT! Transferred the punishment to only the first digits of his left hand, leaving him fully functional.

For his exceptional loyalty, Stannis transformed him from a lowly commoner to a knight.

When Stannis became embroiled in a war to claim the kingdom, Davos single-handedly overcame resistance to Stannis’ request for an essential alliance with a potential supporter when he testified of the trustworthiness of Lord Stannis by showing his finger stumps, transcending from one of many knights to “the Hand of the King.” 

We can apply this course of human events to the Adams.

What came to be known as Newton’s Third Law Of Motion – “For every action, there is an equal and opposite to reaction” should have blown back on Adam when he ate the poisoned fruit.

#1: Instead, God transferred the immutable consequences of this when he said,

59) Natality

“the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed…And I will put enmity between…thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise / crush thy head [permanently destroy], and thou shalt bruise his heel [temporarily incapacitate].” (Genesis 3:14-15)

There is lyric quality, a poetry even in English to “bruise a head / bruise a heel” which the King James translators did a great job in transliterating from the Hebrew. In contrast to smashing a head which destroys, wounding a heel only disables, like an Achilles tendon injury,

To which warning the serpent froze in horror, not the least because he was unable to identify this enemy.

Seed? What’s seed??

This was a whole new element to the battle, completely unknown before death entered the world.

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn / seed of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit…now shall the prince of this world be cast out.” (John 12:23, 31)

60) Bringing Many Sons Unto Glory Through Suffering

Leave a comment

And God said to the woman:

“in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children;” (Genesis 3:16)

Typically this verse has been interpreted as God’s punishment on Eve through painful and even fatal childbirth.

Rates of maternal mortality (death during pregnancy or within one year postpartum) and maternal morbidity (complications that occur during or after pregnancy) continue to rise in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control, in 2022 the U.S. maternal mortality rate increased from 17.4 deaths per 100,000 live births to 33.6—a concerning 93 percent increase.

But this interpretation is based on one’s perception of the Father as a brutal tyrant. When we recognize that he is a loving father who gives his children free will to choose, while always making available his power to recover from errors, we see his love for Eve as an opportunity to undo her original rejection of him bringing death to all.

“And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived…And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.” (Genesis 4:1, 3:20)

WOW! The Woman is changed from Mass Murderer to Mother of All Living!

How does that happen?

61) Immortal Beloved = Permanently Embraced By God’s Spirit

Leave a comment

Beethoven’s endurance is expressed in the title of a movie about his life, “Immortal” Beloved.

While the title is based on his avowed eternal love for a woman, there is a broader application of the immortality of his own soul’s creativity and deep emotions living on through devotees of his music after his death. After 200 years Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” still remains perhaps the most famous piece of music in history.

This is not simply conceptual. There is a material reality to im-mortal-ization as aspects of Beethoven’s soul are re-experienced, re-in-corp-orated and re-vitalized in the viewers’ em-bodied souls.

But not Beethoven’s own complete soul.

And the same situation is true in natality – where each parent going all the way back to the Adams is re-incorporated into their offspring, but not the owner’s complete soul.

Eventually, as ordained by YHVH and reiterated by Melisandre (in GOT, of course), “All men must die.”

Job, despite his conviction of having led the penultimate example of a righteous life, paints a grim picture of death.36

62) The Re-Generation

Leave a comment

The oldest clearly and unmistakably definite reference to re-generation from mortal to immortal was written before Moses compiled the Torah. Because of the consistency between Job’s and Moses’ accounts of Creation, we can be assured that they both drew their information from the same source documents, now lost to us.

The Book of Job is not only the finest expression of the Hebrew poetic genius; it must also be accorded a place among the greatest masterpieces of world literature – and was incorporated into Handel’s Messiah (1741), one of the best-known and most frequently performed choral works in Western music.

Job’s account, like any good literature, begins with, then wraps up with, a thesis. At the beginning we are informed that God and Satan begin a game of Risk.

“Now there was a day when the sons of God / righteous angels came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them [i.e. he is not one of them]…

And the LORD said unto Satan…Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

Then Satan…said, Doth Job fear God for nought? Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.

And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power.” (Job 1:6-12)

And Job loses all that he has – all his substance / wealth, his children, his health, his reputation, his friends, even his will to live.

SECTION XII: Atonement Is Melchizedekian-Driven Reconciliation

Leave a comment

Adam joining his wife in death saved her from the dreadful isolation that defines death, but that didn’t reconcile her to a spiritual relationship for eternal life with the Creator.

God can unilaterally forgive sinners but even He can only offer restoration of relationship, which must be accepted by the sinner.

And the LORD God said…Because thou hast done this…thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.” (Genesis 3:6-16)

There is a direct connection between

  • the woman’s desire for tasty food, pleasure, and wisdom getting her in trouble and dragging her husband down into her trouble,
  • and God’s response by putting her desires under her husband’s oversight.

It’s to prevent a recurrence in order to reconcile her broken relationship with her husband. How could he ever trust her in the future if she didn’t admit her weakness and allow him to protect himself as much as her? YHVH wasn’t setting up a tyrannical marriage system. Adam had proven his love for his wife by dying for her. If the rest of us women screened prospective husbands for Adam’s qualifications, we wouldn’t find ourselves desperately backing out of slavery.
