The Bible Foundations ExplainedBy Robert E. Waples
The Old King James Bible is one of the first translations of text to English and what I
chose to use. I believe it is not as encumbered with what people want it to read as currenttranslations. This is not telling you there are not errors in this translation as well but I
hope that we explain why those errors exist. I believe the Bible begins by establishing
foundation. Please try to look past the excepted truths of your culture. We need to take afresh new look as if we are reading the Bible for the first time. The truth is what is
important. The truth does not always tell you what you want to hear but what you need
to hear. So with this I would like to dive right in. The water is fine.
To understand the bible we must understand the beginning so that is what we are going to
do. We will start with Genesis Chapter I, verse 1 and it plainly states “In the beginning
God created the heavens and the earth” This statement is summarizing the creation and
explaining who was responsible for creation, God. It is stating that God existed before
everything else. In other words before our physical universe or what we call our physical
dimension. So God existed before our physical realm. In this statement the Bible is stating
that God is not a three dimensional being because this dimension or universe had not been
created yet. So this should hopefully get you to question what kind of being is God if he is
not physical and how were we created in his image if he is not a physical being and we will
get to that in just a little bit. 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”.
The earth does not exist at this time nor does the expanse we call heaven. The thing to note
is that God’s Spirit or thought moved which means he put into motion or took action. The
face of the waters signifies a reflection of self and realization of self, I am that I am. 3-
“And God said, “let there be light; and there was light”. And God said, is the vision. And
there was light is the conformation of God’s vision because faith without action has no life.
This is God bringing the vision to life. This is what science presently calls The Big Bang
but tomorrow may give it another title, name or description. This is the creation of our
dimension and all that it consist of, this is what we call our universe. The light is the
immense amount of energy generated to create our dimension. 4- “And God “saw the
light, that it was good”; and God “divided the light from the darkness”. 5- “And God
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 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, 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 Christ. It
was because of prophesy (which is the promise) and by faith that Christ came into thisworld. Please realize Jesus was not God on earth but God’s word 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
Now we know what evil is. Evil is the separation from God. Before we took from the tree
of knowledge of good and evil our spirit was 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. So we lost our connection to God by shedding innocent
blood and we gained it back by the 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 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 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
once they lost the Holy Spirit they were dead to God. The Bible tells you this but most do
not understand. Their physical form on the other hand took hundreds of years to die. This
was because they had been filled with the water of life, the same water that poured out of
Christ on the Cross. This had an impact on their genetics. As the Children of Adam and
Eve took wives of the daughters of Man their blood became mingled from one generation to
the next. Adams children would have seemed as Gods to most men. This is why Cain was
marked so no other man would kill him. This is how he took a wife and had children. This
is why he built a City. The form we have is a product of generations and evolution. It is
not our physical form that was created in the image of God. It is our spirit that is a
reflection of God’s. We are sort of like the moon. We have it in us to reflect the image of
our father. Christ told you this. Are you that vain to think this flesh was hand sculpted by
God? What does the word of God say about the flesh? Is it not enmity to the spirit.
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 itshall 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 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. Cain states
that he was driven from the face of the earth and from the face of God. Cain was a man of
the earth, a tiller of the ground so this references that he was driven from ground that
produced a rich bounty of fruit and seed. God has turned his face from Cain so to God Cain
would not be acknowledged as a child of his. God marked him and plainly states that
whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. Clearly, the mark
was used to warn other men not to kill Cain. Cain states that he has become a fugitive and
a vagabond. The dictionary describes a vagabond as one who wanders from place to place
without any settled home. Leading an unsettled or carefree life. Also described as
disreputable; worthless; shiftless in nature. My bet it is that the latter description fits Cain
since he built a City. All this seems to paint a bleak picture for Cain but he wanders into
the Land of Nod. This telling you that he wandered into the land of a people called Nod. It
is here that Cain 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. Now I want you to think about this Cain was punished. Cain was sent away from
the face of God but he prospered in the world, he had children and built a City. This is
something done by Kings or rulers. So how could this be? I just ask you to remember who
the world was given to? This means that even though the Bible focus is on Adam and Eveand their heirs there were 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 both
the Bible and Science tell you this. 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. I know I am repeating
myself but this is important to understand God’s word states very plainly that there was a
mixing between the Sons of God with the Daughters of Man. The primary difference was
that the Sons of God (Adam and Eve’s children) lived hundreds of years while the
daughters of man lived a fraction of that time. Remember God created us in his image
before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold I will destroy
them with the earth. Both the Old and New Testaments tell us that God caused a flood to
end all flesh. The Old Testament reference both man and beast because of their violence
but it would seem that flesh is a reference to man and the beast is included because of their
proximity to man. Man was created in the image of God and God is Spirit so man has a
spiritual side as well as the flesh. Both are at odds with each other. You must make a
choice to serve one or the other. You can serve the Spirit or the Beast. What you do and
how you think determines who you serve. You can serve God or you can serve the beast.
During the time of Noah the concern was man’s violence toward each other and the
inhabitants they shared the world with. Man served the flesh, losing sight of his spiritual
side. The Old Testament says the whole earth but the New Testament says the world of the
ungodly. The purpose of the flood was to wash away the corruption and the corruption was
man not the world. God used the world to destroy man. Whether you believe it was the
whole world or a region described as the world of the ungodly the flood was immense and
devastating and incredible. To me it just seemed that it would have been confined to the
region of man for it was with man that God took issue with. In Genesis Chapter 6 verse 13
- it states that God said I will destroy them with the earth. This could have easily said by
the flood but I believe this is inclusive in that he used both the flood and the earth. Again
whether you choose to believe the whole world or just the whole world of Man do not loose
sight of how devastating an event this was.
Another point of interest here is that it tells you 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 three sons with their wives. I am not sure that this is what it is
referring too. I would like to reference Jude Verse 14. And Enoch also, the seventh from
Adam, prophesied of these sayings, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of hissaints. Not only is Noah counted as the eighth but Enoch is counted as the seventh. But
how could this be by what is stated? First thing to do is look at the lineage. But I do want
to make sure that you do not get caught up in lineage as used for a time frame. The bible
warns you of this but here we are not using it for such. We are using it to make a point that
you need to understand. So, we start with 1-Adam then 2-Eve, 3- Abel who is killed by his
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 tocome, 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 this then 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
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 itagain the Lord God is One. God is not a trinity. God is not divided. I ask you to 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 hisfulfillment 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
it is our instinctive nature. What I mean by instinctive is our base animal nature. The
Bible on the hand try’s to ask us to look beyond the physical to our spiritual side. I thought
I made it clear but in case I did not I will try again. The spirit of anything is its thought.
So as we develop it is our thoughts that either binds us to the physical or lifts us up and
beyond the restraints of this world. The restraints are our thoughts, our perceptions. The
next time you pick up the Bible try reading it with this perspective and see if it becomes
clearer. If you understand this then you will understand what it was that Adam and Eve did
that was wrong and why it was wrong. If you don’t understand the beginning how can you
understand the ending?
The Bible differentiates thoughts that are base from that which are higher in nature. I know
I have shown you this in the Paper Thoughts (40) but it is important so I will repeat it.
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. Marriage represents the bond between two beings becoming one. So when we commit adultery we are breaking that bond. 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 and giving yourself to the beast or animal lust.
Uncleanness: having a physical or 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: alascivious, 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. 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 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 rest 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; does not force; goodness, kindly feeling; kindness; generosity; faith, belief that is
not based on proof . Meekness, humbly patient or docile, as under provocation from others;receptive to and open to direction and correction; temperance, moderation or self-restraint
in action, statement and self-control: against such things there is no law. What did
Christ mean by being born again? When we look at these list what is it we see? I believe
we see the difference between self indulgence and selflessness. There are many leadership
classes to day that are trying to apply these principles to sports training and management
classes. That is because the principles apply to every aspect of life. It does not matter if
you are a teacher, a fireman or business man the principles have always been the same.Treat others as you wish to be treated. See yourself in others. Just because the world is
harsh or unfair does not mean you need to be. We tend to always get caught up in our own
world rather than think of those less fortunate. God has never tried to control us; as a
matter of fact he is just the opposite. He has given us more freedom than what your
biological parents have given you. This freedom can also be something that is abused by
us, because of our perception of self. If we view ourselves in a light less than a son or
daughter of God then we will see everyone else that same way which would be less than a
child of God. We may even see others as less than ourselves and thereby treat them more
like any other animal because we see ourselves as an animal. What we need to do is see
each other as not as animals but creatures of thought because that is what God sees us as. If
you look at the manifestations of the flesh and the manifestations of the spirit you see that
both are ways of thinking, consciousness. One binds you to the flesh and servitude of the
beast and the other to a higher consciousness. God ask you to not serve the beast but
follow the example of Christ. If you serve the beast then it is in your way of thinking which
is why the Bible says you will have the mark of the beast on your forehead or on your hand
for your works or actions. Remember we were created in the image of God then placed into
a body. God is Spirit or thought, a consciousness. So if we are also consciousness then
we are apart of him. Again I ask you to remember the Lords prayer. It begins with Our
monarch of a lesser rank than the King”, such as a Prince, hence the term principality. It
was man that traded this sovereign power away for the understanding of good and evil. It
was with this understanding we became separated from God and with separation came
death. You must understand this leads us to the parable of the son that was lost. The
Bible provides the direction back to God but not as servants. We have been given the
opportunity to become his children just as our example which is Christ. This is the whole
point of the Bible for God to have children. So if Christ was the first then what of all
those before him. How are we justified? Through faith is the promise kept but it was
through Christ that faith was given life in the resurrection. There by becoming the
promise, for all that believed before and after him.
I have had some question on the stance I have taken about the topic of reincarnation,
stating Christ taught such. So, even though it may be a waste of time I will still take the
time to walk you through the passage used as a reference that Christ believed and taught
reincarnation.
Let’s start with the passages in Matthew Chapter 11: 10, For this is he, of whom it is
written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way
before thee. 11, Verily I say unto you, among them born of women there hath not risen
a greater than John the Baptist: not withstanding he that is least in the kingdom ofheaven is greater than he. 12, And from the days of John the Baptist until now the
kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. 13, For all the
prophets and the law prophesied until John. 14, And if you will receive it, this is
Elias, which was for to come. 15, He that hath ears to hear let him hear.
It appears to me that there are three main options to understanding these statements. One
option is Jesus was stating that John the Baptist is Elias, the reincarnate of Elijah, a
second option would be that Jesus was referencing the same Holy Spirit that was in Elijah
that was in John, and the third option is stating the prophecy of Elijah has been fulfilled
in John. Now for the first to be true, then either Elijah never died or what is stated in
Ecclesiastics and Hebrews is not true. 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 isjoined 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:” The stance that I have is, the Bible
does not contradict itself but I do believe our understanding of it does. This being said I
believe that there have been mistakes in translations. You have to remember that
translations were conducted by patriarchs that paid for the service of interrupting the
script from one or more languages to their own. Even those that were conscientious in
their duties of translation did so from a different time and a different culture with
different perspectives. This means that both the patriarch and the scribe applied their
perceptions to the translation and there by imposing their own interpretations of a
translation, causing a misdirection of understanding. At one point in time the Church didnot even want the Bible to even be translated. The Church wanted the people to come to
them for that. This was a power held over the people and the Kings. I am sure some
think that God would never allow his word to be misinterpreted. But I want you to think
about just how many different sects of Christians there are in this world, each with their
own interpretations. I want you realize the past was no different. Think of the wars.
I believe the thought of reincarnation was something taught by other religions and it had
worked its way into certain fractions of Judaism just as it has in certain fractions of
Christianity today. However truths are not tossed one direction then another. Nor would
Christ teach a contradiction, because he was the word made living. All throughout the
passages, Christ tells us these words and actions were not his but those given to him by
our Father. So with that in mind I ask you; why would he teach something that was the
I believe we all understand that our physical form returns to dust when we die, but, what of
our spiritual form? The Bible tells us but I don’t believe that we believe it. We have so
many people talking about ghost and reincarnation. Some tell of romantic stories of ghost
while others talk of horror tales but the Bible tells us something different than what the
world telling you. I will again quote what Ecclesiastics tells us in 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 anymore 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:” So here are quotes from both the old and new
testaments that state the same that you only die once. The body returns to dust. Your love,
hatred and envy are all gone and they have no more portion for ever under the sun. You do
not cling on to this world or those around you. So does this paint a bleak picture for us?Well it would if it were not that the Bible also tells us what does happen. The bible teaches
us that consciousness falls into a sleep and is only gathered up at one specific time, the time
of judgment. It was for this reason that Christ came into this world to be the sacrifice of
innocent blood for the innocent blood spilled by Adam and Eve. Christ is the sacrifice, he
is our redemption for with his sacrifice life was poured out to us. The life I am speaking of
is the same life that we lost with Adam and Eve, Holy Spirit. It is this Holy Spirit that
provides the connection to God and it is only with this connection we have life. Without it
we have no connection to God and are there by dead. You may say that you feel alive and
that you haven’t quit breathing yet. And you would be correct in that as long as you have
breath you have physical life and this provides you with the opportunity to be born again or
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 toheaven 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 only the children of our world alone it would state this
world rather than heaven but it does not. It is also important to see we are obtaining a
world. This tells me we are 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
