EXPLICIT BIBLE TRUTH
JESUS
Who is He?
What is He?
Why is He?
IT IS IMPORTANT TO GOD THAT WE ALL EXPERIENCE LIFE AND DEATH AND SUFFERING AS WE MUST LEARN OBEDIENCE TO and EXPRESSION OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AS DID THE HUMANITY OF THE GOD-MAN WHO IS JESUS, HEBREWS 5:8-10.
IF ADAM AND EVE HAD UNDERSTOOD THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR MISS DEED THEY WOULD NOT HAVE SINNED.
GOD IS OMNISCIENCE, ALL KNOWING BUT HUMANS ARE NOT AND THOSE WHO DO NOT LISTEN MUST LEARN THROUGH EXPERIENCE.
JESUS WAS EXPOSED TO AND SUCCESSFULY RESISTED WORLDLY WAYS AND BEGAN HIS MINISTRY AT ABOUT THE AGE OF 30, LUKE 3:23. JESUS DIED IN OBEDIENCE TO HIS FATHER AT ABOUT THE AGE OF 33.
WALKING WITH THE ETERNAL GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE AND INTERNAL PEACE, ROMANS 8:5-10.
THIS CREATION CANNOT SUSTAIN EVIL INDEFINATELY AS EVIL DOES NOT SUPPORT THE MORAL LAWS OF GOD AND THE MORAL LAWS ARE CRITICAL TO THE EXISTENCE OF THE CREATION, REVELATION 11:17-18.
ALL HUMANS ARE BORN IN THE IMAGE OF THE 1st ADAM WHO IS OUR VERY GREAT GRANDFATHER.
MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF THE 2nd ADAM, THE SON OF GOD WHO IS JESUS CHRIST WILL INHERIT AND RULE THE ETERNAL CREATION BY RIGHTEOUSNESS FOREVER.
Sons of God is a title that was applied to Angels first as they are an older creation and then to mankind.
In the New Testament âSons of Godâ is not gender specific meaning it is appointed to faithful servants, men and women of God who are born again and have advanced to maturity.
The Church, the Body of Christ:
Galatians 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as have been water baptized into Christ have put on Christ, Acts 2:37-39.
Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:29 And since you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.
Mortal Longevity:
Romans 8:11 But since the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you eternally, John 14:16 He that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall also quicken, give life to your mortal bodies by His Spirit that eternally dwelleth in you.
God does not dwell in our flesh but He does dwell with our spirit and witnesses to our spirit that we are âchildren of Godâ, see Romans 8:16 below and Romans 8:10.
Mortal body here is the body that we currently live in. Our spiritual body will be our resurrected body.
SO:
This context is about temporal life and not about eternal life.
Romans 8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh, Luke 16:10-15.
Galatians 5:13 For you, brothers, were called to freedom, freedom from the law of sin and death, Romans 8:2. Only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity to gratify your flesh, but through love, charity, 1Corinthians 13:13 KJV make it your habit to serve one another.
Worldly living Christians:
2Corinthians 12:21 I fear that when I come again my God may humble me before you, and I may have to mourn over many of those who sinned earlier and have not repented of the impurity, sexual immorality, and sensuality that they have practiced.
Romans 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die prematurely: but if through the Spirit you do put to death the deeds of the mortal body, ye shall live a longer mortal life.
This is personal and is addressed to delinquent Christians who are in danger of losing longevity.
It is information only for those walking with the Lord, those who are striving to keep the commandments of God our father.
This is to encourage all to âWalk the Walkâ meaning Moral living, 1John 5:1-5 redeeming the time for the âDays are Evilâ as God wants His children to be examples to the world, 1Peter 2:12.
This does not mean that we will out live everyone but that God will extend what would have been a shorter life, increasing our rewards through Godly works.
Please do not assume that all people especially children who die prematurely are guilty and should die.
All of the Apostles of Christ lived until their ministries on earth were complete.
Our ministryâs among other things we do are to be Godly examples of moral living to the world at large and if we are not doing that then God takes us out prematurely.
Many Christians have died in service to God who will judge Christians through Jesus Christ at the BEMA for eternal rewards based upon their walk with God.
The âGreat White Throneâ judgment is for those who do not know the Lord, John 5:28-29 and it is for life or death according to their works.
For those who have lived a life of debauchery the sentence will be death, Romans chapter 2, Revelation 20:4-15.
Maturity:
Romans 8:14 For the children of God who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God, 1Corinthians 2:10.
Sons of God as presented here are mature men and women Christians who began as children of God with the milk of the Word, 1Peter 2:2 and are growing in the knowledge of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, 2Peter 3:17-18 and Ephesians 4:11-15 and Hebrews 5:12, Luke 4:4, Matthew 4:4, Deuteronomy 8:3.
Children do not understand who, what and why but they do know who their parents are and they learn and become adults and in time they should become wise, 1Corintians 2:12-13.
For us it is the wisdom of God as taught by the Holy Spirit who is our âSpiritual Parentâ and teacher who uses the Bible as our text book, John 3:6-8.
The Christians of Hebrews chapters 5 and 6 and Galatians1:6-7 lacked maturity but they were being encouraged to advance toward maturity.
Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Romans 8:16 The Spirit Himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
Romans 8:17 And since we are children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; since we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together.
Suffer with Him is a proviso, stipulation as some Christians get tired of the responsibilities of Christian living and return to the ways of the world, 2Peter chapter 2.
As a consequence they will receive tribulation, discipline, Hebrews chapter 12 and if they do not repent of their evil deeds they will lose the inheritance and miss the Rapture, 1Corinthians 5:5, Galatians 5:19-21 but will be resurrected at the first resurrection, 1Corinthians 5:5.
Creation perfection:
Angels and mankind were made by God to be what He meant them to be meaning they were perfect or complete and were then called âSons of Godâ.
When the first Adam sinned he lost his status as a âSon of Godâ and became a âsoulish manâ translated natural man, 1Corinthians 2:14 as he had become something other than what God made him to be.
As offspring of the first Adam we were born with Adams fallen nature as he was the pattern for our being meaning that he carried the seeds for the human race with the exception of the âSeed of the womanâ, Genesis 3:15.
The seed of the woman came from the first Adam when he was still a Son of God, Luke 3:38 and was transferred to the woman Eve when she was made from his rib, side.
The objective here was to protect the seed through its generations but still have its origin in the first Adam.
Adam and Eve were removed from the Garden where the âTree of Good and Evilâ was so that it was no longer possible to destroy the seed when in a male of the genealogy of Luke 3:23-38.
The seed of the male with DNA would normally be transferred by sperm in semen to the woman.
The âSeed of the Womanâ Eve was passed through the genealogy of Luke 3:23-38 according to the foreknowledge and preplanning of God and became Jesus who was born a âSon of Godâ in His humanity as His seed was untarnished becoming the body of God, Hebrews 10:5 who was born the God-man through the ovum, egg of the virgin Mary.
God sent His eternal Son to become a man in the seed of the woman who was born Jesus, John 1:1 and John 1:14-15.
At His water baptism the God-man, Jesus also received the baptism of the Holy Spirit in the form of a Dove, Matthew 3:16-17, John 1:32 making Him Jesus the Christ or simply Jesus Christ meaning Jesus the anointed of God meaning He is the Christ, the chosen one, the anointed one who is Messiah, Isaiah 7:14.
Jesus who is the seed of the woman who also is the second Adam, 1Corinthians 15:45-46 who is the visible image of the invisible God, Colossians 1:15-19 who is spirit, John 4:23-26.
He, Jesus is the spiritual pattern for men and women who reject the evil ways of the world and commit to Godâs way as measured by the commandments of God which are guidelines for successful living and are not burdensome, 1John 5:1-3 and Romans 8:28-29.
God provided 1John 1:9 for us as we do not always keep the commandments of God. This is not license to sin as the cleansing if necessary can be quite severe.
Repentance, changing our ways will remove us from disciplines, Hebrews chapter 12 but non repentance means a premature death, 2Corinthians 12:21, see above.
The Fallen Sons of God:
Genesis 6:1 When mankind began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born to them,
Genesis 6:2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of mankind were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose.
From Adam to Jesus the title Son of God was only used for Angels as the offspring of Adam did not qualify due to their fallen nature, 1Corinthians 2:14 making them Sons of Adam or natural men, 1Corinthians 2:12-14.
The Sons of God, Angels lusted after the daughters of mankind and as a consequence they had offspring which were freaks meaning they were much taller than humans with large craniums and powerful physiques giving them great advantage over mankind.
The skeletons of some of these mighty men, Nephilim are still with us today; see the internet also see 1Samuel 17:4, Deuteronomy 9:1-2.
We have large and tall people with us today but they come from normal parents and act like normal people insofar as I am aware.
Goliath was six cubits and a span tall which is about 9.5 feet tall, Numbers 13:27-28.
Some American Indians have reported co-existing with tribes of Giants who had six toes on their feet and six fingers on their hands.
Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, after the âFlood of Noahâ when the sons of God came in to the daughters of mankind and they bore children to them. These, the Nephilim, the offspring of the âSons of God and the daughters of Mankindâ were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.
The Penalty:
Matthew 25:41 “Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the Eternal Fire which has been prepared for the Devil and his Angels.
This means that God has provided salvation to all mankind through the shed blood of Jesus Christ so they have an option to not go the way of the Devil and his Angels, 2Peter 3:9.
