Unto the Church of God and all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the Spirit of Truth and Love: I am well in the sight of the Most High God. May His Love and Truth be understood: and may His Vengeance be swift. For I hunger and thirst for that Great Day of the Lord, whose end is a new heaven and earth: and whose holy city is the new Jerusalem.
The sermon this Sabbath is given to the Origin, Fall, and Redemption of Man. This will be a very controversial sermon: but I give it to you as it has been revealed to me.
Let us open our Holy Bibles to Genesis 2:4-25: and let us Read and Hear: “These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens. 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.
But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed”.
Now no man knows how long the days of creation were: because one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day (II Peter 3:8). But we know that the Lord made heaven and earth: and that the earth is His footstool (Isaiah 66:1).
Now Man was formed from the dust of the ground: so the flesh of man became that which the earth call a so-called black man: because the flesh of man was formed from dirt. And the Lord God made man upright and holy: and in His image and after His likeness was man created. And Man was holy and obedient to the Lord God: with the fear of God, and the love of God, and the faith of God written in his heart and mind. And think not that the Lord God did not test Man before He made Woman: for the Lord God test all things before He sanctify.
Now woman being formed from a rib of man became the flesh that the earth call a so-called white woman: because the flesh of woman was formed from a human-bone. And what be the color of a human-bone?
Now it came to pass that woman, being the weaker vessel (I Peter 3:7), was tempted by the serpent to eat of the forbidden tree. And the spirit of Satan was manifested into the mind of the woman, because the woman was given the knowledge of evil. And the woman, led by her newfound “feminine wiles” , went forth to seduce man. And the art of erotic dance was born: and man became vulnerable to the lust given from the woman and was seduced to eat of the forbidden fruit.
And both man and woman became corrupted in sin with the knowledge of good and evil. And the eyes of flesh were opened, and they saw the difference in the color of their flesh, and they became ashamed of their nakedness, and became exposed to the wicked and perfidious side of thoughts. And because of this one transgression from man and woman, sin and death became an inheritance of human flesh.
This was the fall of Man: a righteous soul now of sinful flesh. And the ground was cursed for his sake: and he ate all the days of his life in sorrow. And man who was given the name Adam, called his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all living. Thus, if Eve is the mother of all living, there were no other children besides the children born through Adam and Eve.
Now it is written: “And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also the tree of life, and eat, and live forever: Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life” (Genesis 3:22-24).
“And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil:” (Genesis 3:22).
What is the mystery behind those words: for the Lord God said that man has become “one of us” : so what is us?
I tell you my brothers and sisters, that, man became apart of the Godhead, because the Lord God said that man has become one of them. And who are they, but the seven spirits of God.
Now man was commanded to eat freely of every tree in the garden of Eden, except for the tree with the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:16-17): therefore man ate from the tree of life, which gave him the Holy Ghost, which is eternal life. But when man ate of the forbidden tree, he received death to replace his life: and for fear he take and eat of the tree of life again that he be spared from his punishment, the Lord God drove man and woman from out of the garden of Eden (Genesis 3:22-24), that man till the ground.
And the flaming sword, which is the word of God, which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life, so that man would not be lost in the wilderness, was placed at the east of the garden of Eden. And man kept the word of God in every step in his path, that the end of his days be the tree of life, whose leaves are for healing, and whose fruit are twelve manner of seeds (Revelation 22:2), which are known today as the twelve tribes of Israel.
Now when Eve conceived and bared Cain: she said, “I have gotten a man from the LORD” (Genesis 4:1). This was said by Eve, because Cain came out with the color of Eve flesh. And when Eve bared his brother Abel, Eve said nothing, because Abel came out with the color of Adam’s flesh. And Adam was pleased and made Abel a keeper of sheep: and Cain was made a tiller of the ground.
Now Eve was not pleased that Adam made Cain a tiller of the ground, because her love grew for Cain. And Cain grew with envy, and jealousy, and selfishness, and greed, and hate; because it was instilled by Eve. And the word of God was fulfilled as it is written: “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel” (Genesis 3:15).
And it came to pass that Cain rose up against his brother Abel and slew him. And the Lord cursed Cain and cast him out into the land of dinosaurs (dragons), where his seed dwelt as the original cave man.
Now we know that daughters were born of Adam and Eve because it is written that Cain took a wife (Genesis 4:17): but Eve was also cast out with Cain, because the enmity between the flesh brought separation of the flesh. Such is why the so-called white man despise the so-called black man for no reason the earth can see. And if a man should say, Where is it written in the Scriptures that Eve was cast out with Cain? I say unto that man and all who seek an answer: It is written that Adam knew his wife again (Genesis 4:25), and the name Eve is not mentioned. And it is written, that, she bared a son Seth, who was in the image and likeness of Adam (Genesis 5:3). And it is written, that, Seth had a son Enos: then began men calling on the name of the LORD (Genesis 4:26). These were the sons of God. And it is written: “AND it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose” (Genesis 6:1-2).
Hence, if the flesh of Eve was among the sons of God, then, they would not have been attracted by the fair skin of the daughters of men.
Now the races were brought back together because the LORD said, “My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh:” (Genesis 6:3).
So God gave His Spirit that all men be as one blood, and one flesh; but all flesh became corrupted in wickedness and evil hearts; because the daughters of men seduced the sons of God to evil and perverse ways. And the Lord God grieved at His heart that He had made man: but found favor in a man of the name Noah, who was a just man, that walked with God, and was perfect in his generations.
And from the three sons of Noah came the flesh of all men that are on the earth this day: Shem the seed of the so-called black race, and Ham the seed of the so-called white race, and Japheth the seed of the Oriental: by these three men were the whole earth replenish (Genesis 9:1).
But the earth again became corrupted by man: but the Lord found heart with a man of the name Abram, a Hebrew (Genesis 14:13), who came from out of the generations of Shem (Genesis 11:26). And the Lord blessed Abram, and changed his name to Abraham: and the Lord made His covenant with Abraham as an everlasting covenant (Genesis 17:1-14).
Now let every man know this: Satan is and shall always be a servant of God. For it is written: “AGAIN there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD. And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause. And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face. And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown” (Job 2:1-7).
My brothers and sisters: here is a mystery of God: The Lord God is the knowledge of good and evil: but evil is the dark side and the condemned side to man. But because man ate of the forbidden fruit, he opened up himself to the opposite of God, which is the evil side, because the world is made with a positive and negative side to everything, such as light and darkness. So instead of life, man has found death: and instead of righteousness abounding, man has found unrighteousness abounding. Also, by eating of the forbidden fruit, man has all the emotions of God, which was reserved for God; such as jealousy (Exodus 20:5), anger (Deuteronomy 13:17), and hate (Proverbs 6:16). These things were not meant for the knowledge of mankind, because as human flesh these things would control them; and not them control it. But because of transgression the knowledge of evil is loosen: and Jesus said, “Whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven” (St. Matthew 18:18). Such is why Satan and his angels are found in heaven (Revelation 12:7-10).
Now we know that mankind has corrupted their way on the earth: and we know that which is crooked could not be made straight (Ecclesiastes 1:15). So none could be redeemed from their sins, neither from death, till the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. For it is written: “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous” (Romans 5:12-19).
So by the obedience of Jesus Christ, are we freed from the prison of sin and death, to be born of God, that we be sons of God, which is an embodiment of the Holy Ghost.
And this is not a new gift to us that be Hebrews: for we were sons of God in the beginning (Genesis 6:1-2): but such is a new gift to the Gentiles, that they may share of our inheritance, because of the promise to Abraham (Galatians 3:6-9).
Now let us trace the seed of Jesus, and we shall find that his generations begin with Abraham (St. Matthew 1:1-17).
Now Jesus, the greatest of all men, and a devout Jew, was despised by his own people because of the new testament that he brought, which they received not, but condemned him to death. But prophecy was fulfilled: and the grace of God which is the forgiveness of sins were given to both the Jew and the Gentile. And when Jesus was crucified, his blood made that which was crooked straight if it was brought unto him and baptized in his name.
Now I say this, knowing that I shall spark more controversy, but it be the truth: We men of Israel are gods, because man is a god (Genesis 3:22). And from the seed of man come the seed of Abraham: and from the seed of Abraham come the seed of Isaac: and from the seed of Isaac come the seed of Israel: and from the seed of Israel come the seed of David: and from the seed of David come the seed of Jesus: and from the seed of Jesus is the only begotten Son of God: and the only begotten Son of God has been given the throne of God from the Father. For it is written: “I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High” (Psalms 82:6). And it is written: “Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?” (St. John 10: 34-36)
Let no man misinterpret my meaning, neither the meaning of the Scriptures: for I am not saying that man is God as we know God: but is created in the image and likeness of God, and has become as a god on earth: but remain subject to God Almighty, our Father which art in heaven.
Let a man think for a moment: Why is Christ called the Son of man?
I am not here to stir controversy, but to reveal that which has been revealed to me, as I guide you into all truth.
Man was given dominion over all the earth (Genesis 1:28): and became the embodiment of the Holy Spirit when the Lord God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life (Genesis 2:7).
Man was given the tree of life in the beginning to eat freely of: so man in the beginning was created to walk as a god on earth.
Let us search the Scriptures on the mystery of man: “It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly” (I Corinthians 15: 44-49).
Through Christ are we given the image of the heavenly: For it is written: “But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming” (I Corinthians 15:20-23).
My brethrens of Israel: let us turn our holy bibles to Hebrews 3:1-13: and let us Read and Hear: “WHEREFORE, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house. For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin”.
My brothers and sisters in Christ: Our Father which art in heaven has transferred all authority, that whom we knew as the Son of God become God. Yea for sure, Christ is made God by God, that we become sons of God through Christ.
It is written my friends: “And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows” (Hebrews 1:6-9).
My brothers and sisters: Let us know that the kingdom of God is Christ kingdom: and the new Jerusalem his bride (Revelation 21:2).
But let no man be mistaken: For even Christ as God is subject to God the Father: For what be Christ in the kingdom of God, but Man on earth in the Spirit of Righteousness. For if we see a new heaven and a new earth, we see a new beginning, unlike the days of Noah when we saw a new earth; because we did not have a new heaven. But at the end of these days we have a new heaven and a new earth, which is a new creation, and a new beginning, where every man is a priest. And the Spirit of man shall be a pure creature: full of wisdom and love: and a vessel without sin. And he shall be known as the god of earth, and as the Son of the Father which art in heaven. And as it is written: “Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all” (I Corinthians 15:24-28)
My brothers and sisters: Of all the things I have spoken this Sabbath this is the sum: “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man” (Ecclesiastes 12:13).
May the Lord add a blessing to the hearer of His word. Amen. And let one say, So be it. VIEW SERMON ARCHIVES Send your prayer Message Board
