The Mysteries And Realities Of Genesis: Part 1 By UNKNOWN by Inteltower: 7:55am On Jul 26, 2020 |
MAN INITIALLY WASN'T CREATED TO LIVE LONG ON EARTH By Unknown Genesis 2 vs 9 He made all kinds of beautiful trees grow there and produce good fruit. In the middle of the garden stood the TREE THAT GIVES LIFE and the tree that gives knowledge of what is good and what is bad. Genesis 2 vs 16-17 He said to him"You may eat the fruit of any tree in the garden, except the tree that gives knowledge of what is good and what is bad. you must not eat the fruit of that tree; if you do, you will die the same day." from the above passage it is clear that before man fell he had a life that wouldn't live very long but age for a long period before dying. if man had a eternal life or a life without death then the TREE THAT GIVES ETERNAL LIFE won't be there in the first place. Therefore Man still had option to have a life that was eternal because he was free to EAT THE FRUIT ANY TREE IN THE GARDEN (INCLUDING THE TREE OF ETERNAL LIFE) except the Tree of the knowledge of whats good and evil The biblical accounts sheds further mystery that the Man had 2 LIFES 1) Spiritual Life connected to God with all accompanied abilities, liberties, jurisdictions and services and a dome of knowledge of what was good; all things good 2) The Physical life that was in good health, with strength, and was subject to learning and knowing things faster. NOTE: in the middle of it was the component called FREE WILL The stack realities from the accounts points to that; 1) After Man fell he lost the spiritual life; the death that God talked about as a consequence of disobeying him but if we critically go through this consequence spelt out by God then it proves what we lost was something spiritual. the death occurred was of spirit not physical so PHYSICAL AGING AND DYING WASN'T A PART OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF EATING THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT 2) God's intention of creating Man from the accounts clearly indicates that in his ingenuity that man should be POWERED BY THREE (2) LIFE CELLS/SOURCES: These include: a) Spiritual life b) Physical life c) Eternal life Now the THIRD LIFE SOURCE was left there as an option for man to take; God instilled 2 batteries but gave man the option to make a decision about the last one. from the aftermath of the fall we clearly saw that God revoked that right/eliminated that option because of the decision Man took and later in another word sharing I will explain why 3) God during his creation ensured there were not only one thing in life but 2,3 and many things of a creation he made like day & night, 2 nostrils, 2 kidneys, varying clouds, 5 fingers, many hairs, many stars, many planets, the universe, etc so if he can do those things and more what then is giving Man he created in his image and likeness 3 LIFE SOURCES/BATTERIES. in this modern world even us man use one or more power batteries to power up our machines. for the Christian (Doers of God's will) you have now 3: name must be in the book of life. Christ gave us the spiritual life we lost; the reconnection to God and Christ has made it possible for us to have eternal life because its no longer a tree but Christ who died on a tree. Eternal will be accessed under the approval of the Holy Spirit: my brother you know say we go take him serious ooo because his our mark even the exam marker to enter into that beautiful country and have eternal life. for Unbelievers only one life source and that won't take you far. happy weekend remain blessed God be praised |
