But what is all about is that you may have faith in
eternal life, faith in that you have an inner being which needs to be
born again of the Spirit of God, of the Creator, that marvelous Being
who is delighted in shearing eternity with you as well as every day
of life. The soul is, no doubt about, a receptacle where the spirit lives,
and unites the living body with the spirit, it's the feeling of the
heart, personality, the inner voice that tells you that God exists and that you need
to seek Him, and that yes! there is something else, that everything
cannot finish here, that there is a place where the dead go and meet
with that marvelous Being, or not if they don't love Him. All these
things happen in the soul.
Read the article Mind and PC for more details. Lets now
conclude with the Word of God:
The origin of man. Creation-Evolution
|
In the history of man, his old questions are repeat as a
constant; Who am I?, Why am I here?, Where do I come from? and Where am
I going? and these have taken us to the search of the origin of man and
of the universe. But should these questions anyhow change our relation
with God, or the fact that man was created as Adam, he on his own in the
literal paradise, or that he evoluted in creation as the Bible, science
and the theory of Darwin explain, ever before having discovered what we
call: the lost link between the hominid and the homo sapiens, or not
being able to explain where matter comes from before the big-bang?, as
the recognized scientific and professor of quantum physics Stephen
Hawking,
in his book History of Time, or in the more recently published in April
2002: The Universe in a Nutshell. (In the image we can see the lost link
in human evolution) |
What does Scripture say and how shall we understand
this mater which is of importance for the faith of many believers that
it may be according to the mind of God? ...for the letter killeth,
but the spirit giveth life. 2Corinthians
3:6.
Lets follow history in the book of Genesis, and the
spiritual meaning of the situation of man in his origin, why he is
called Adam or if we prefer homo sapiens sapiens and how his descendants
live. We will also compare scientific documented information provided
there.
GENESIS
CHAPTER
1
20And God said, Let the waters bring forth
abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly
above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21And God created great whales, and every living
creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after
their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it
was good.
22And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the
earth.
23And the evening and the morning were the fifth
day.
24And God said, Let the earth bring forth the
living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and
beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25And God made the beast of the earth after his
kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon
the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26And God said, Let us make man in our image,
after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the
sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the
earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27So God created man in his own image, in the
image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Have your ever considered that animals have been created being only one
couple, for example horses, the first couple would be a horse and
a mare, and so on a chicken and a rooster, etc. But why when we get to
the man we have a problem if he were a man and a woman. Or would there
be many of each species on earth? If we apply the theory of the natural
selection of Darwin to all this, if we found the evolution of a species,
we should also expect it to be of a couple, at the most, and then
others. The Word of God says that God created man: male and female
created He them.
Up to here is the order in which God creates every
living creature on earth, but let's keep reading the Bible text to then
see the scientific side.
CHAPTER
2
7And 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.
20And 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.
21And 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;
22And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from
man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23And 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.
24Therefore shall a man leave his father and his
mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25And they were both naked, the man and his wife,
and were not ashamed.
This text shows that man was already created and was
multiplying, the Creator, according to Scripture, forms the man from the
dust of the earth. But, doesn't it say that man was already created and
that they were male and female? Now, here is the starting point where
man or homo sapiens sapiens, is taken by the Lord and it is given a mind
like God's, this mind is Eve. It says then that man shall leave his
father and mother and shall cleave unto his wife and they shall be one
flesh, because every man or woman when they reach an age they don't want
to receive anything from their parents, rather they keep their own
concience and own moral; help meet for the man or woman, because at this
point of creation, humanity receives the gift of God of having a soul
capable of receiving the Holy Spirit and of having a relation with his
Creator.
Adam "red tinted man" the Blood of Christ; is the
man, the human race. Genesis
5.
Reed further down.
Eve means "life"; is the soul with the mind, the "psyche"
of the human race to receive God, in a different way of the animals
which don't have this gift; not that they don't have a soul, but they
don't have the mind nor a soul made to the image and likeness of God.
And man was delivered to Eden, which is paradise; in other words, to be
in the presence of God and live sharing with Him. But this is where man
fails and eats of the tree of the science of good and evil. Falls in the
temptation of following his own mind instead of sharing with God and
asking Him.
When man eats of the tree of good and evil and
becomes slave of himself, he dies to the Spirit of God, which is what he
would receive if he came to this Tree humbly in repentance. Then he
meets the Tree of Life who is Christ. Depending of the intention of the
heart, God gives us the fruit: reason, or Spirit.
To end and understand the evolution of the creation
of the man, we must reed:
CHAPTER
5
1.-This is the book of the generations of Adam.
In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
2.-Male and female created he them; and blessed
them, and called "their name Adam",
in the day when they were created.
3.-And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and
begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name
Seth:
4.-And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth
were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters
This is the continuation of humanity or "Adam".
CHAPTER
4
25.-And Adam knew his wife
again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she,
hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
26.-And to Seth, to him
also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men
to call upon the name of the LORD.
When the man or woman who is Adam, looks inside his
soul again ...and he knew his wife again... means that man repents of
his first way of life according to his own will, and decides to
surrender to God and then it says that he had another son, who is Set,
who is the born again soul of the Spirit, the second opportunity for
man. We all have this second opportunity, repentance.
Now finishing with the part of the Bible we will learn who the man, of
all times, and also of the XXI century, this Adam that live today, has
two sons, two alternatives of life before God. Cain and Abel.
Once God drives the man out of His presence for
having man wanted to be independent of Him, has two attitudes and is one
of them that wins and is inherited of his sin in Eden; remember that sin
is to live apart from God.
Cain offers God his works as sacrifice, what he has
obtained of his labor of the ground which is the soul, in other words he
has become a man of moral and so brings to God his ethical behavior as
an offering to God, he justifies by his own moral ...I have not done
evil to any one, I have helped the needed, etc
Abel on the contrary does not bring anything of his. He
offers God a lamb, This one represent Christ, because Abel does not
believe in his merits, even more, being a pastor of sheep, knows that
men are week and need to be guided. He trusts in the forgiveness of God
because he has understood his nature, that he has no merits, that even
though he can do good works, also fails and does bad ones, but this is
not the sin, as he has seen that he does not contain God, that his mind
carries him to the reasoning of the world and not to the Spirit of God,
that his nature cannot please God, and that he can only say to God that
he loves Him but cannot make himself perfect, and God forgives him and
accepts him and puts His Spirit in him that he may please Him in Spirit,
because man thinks he can please God by material things, but that's
wrong.
Cain got jealous of Abel because his sacrifice was
not accepted by God and Abel's was. In his cowardice Cain, which is our
attitude to try and please God doing things our way not allowing God to
guide us and Who to ask every thing that we do, so this attitude kills
Abel, the humble attitude before God.
And the Scripture finishes saying that Cain was
before God in his attitude, and even so he continued human descent. What
a precious text in which we are given hope when it says that Adam knew
Eve again, in other words once more meditates in his mind and conceives
another son which is Set, who substitutes Abel who has descent: Enos,
then began men to call upon the name of the LORD. Genesis 4:26.
NOW LETS SEE THE SCIENTIFIC
PART
According to Darwin species adapt to the environment and evolute by
natural selection. The stronger survive and the weakest die. But this we
cannot apply to man, because our society is not of the physically
strongest but of the psychically, but we have a limit which is the
society of the human rights and mercy. The weakest are helped, are given
all things they need, hospitals, medicines and social services that
allow them to continue and reproduce, although not so much in the third
world. We are humans not animals in reference to the soul-mind. Although
we kill with wars or we let die those in the third world, yes!, our
generation of human rights, kills.
Also, according to Darwin's theory man comes from the
evolution of species.
The magazine Newton XXI century Ner1 of May 1998,
dedicated a large part to man's evolution. In page 18 you could see a
drawing of two primates: Proconsul,
Ramapithecus after that there is a gap, a black tunnel and after an homo
erectus Austrolopithecus
afarensis.
Science calls this gap the black hole of humanity.
They have not found the being which links the monkey with man. There
have been five theories published since the study of paleontology, but
nun achieves to link the antecessor of the so called Homo sapiens, they
stop on the last link in which almost all coincide in the Homo erectus,
but this one does not have brain capacities to be a man. So, we have no
link. But yes, God has placed a mind in the man when He created and
completed him to have a relation with him. This is precisely what is
captivating paleontologist, who until now seek for the first couple in
Africa as an evolution of another earlier species, and have realized
after the finding or Atapuerca,
that against Darwin's theory, the strongest leave the way to the weaker.
They have found
2.800
fossils of
32 individuals dated more than
800.000 years ago, more corpulent than the homo-sapiens, called
antecessor. These would eat fruits and carrion but curiously disappeared
leaving the way to the
homo-sapiens,
or intelligent man, with a mind capable to receive God. The director of
the excavations,
Luis Arsuaga,
in a TV interview mentioned that what they need to find is the moment
where the man receives a superior mind, and it's not through evolution.
This is where the man differs from the rest of hominids.
Apparently species do not evolute ones from others,
they just adapt to the environment. The same way as we are of different
skin color depending of the area where we are born and of the origin of
the genes of our parents, but a man is still a man, a bird is still a
bird. If we want to believe that the evolution of species is the
explanation, we must understand that each step and gene is added by the
creator from the first living organism and that it is not an adapting to
the environment. This is accepted and of relevance for species in
different surviving stages, but when a frog leaves water to earth does
not transform in alligator and then in a monkey and then in a man as
seen in some cartoon series.
Evolution is the adapting of species to the
environment but not a change of species one on another. This is the
intervention of God as creator.
I hope that the reader has understood the spiritual
part, which he can add to his life to teach others and that once and for
ever there is no more need to question whether we are created of
evoluted. We must differentiate between the intervention of God's hand
in the steps of evolution and the adaptation suffered by each species in
adapting to the environment.
When Adam, humanity was ready, in other words, when
God created form an animal base the man, he added a mind, like His that
we may comprehend Him and we represent Him here and also that we remain
free to fall in love with Him or not. We that fall in love with Him will
bring His image, that new spiritual body and shall be the bride of
Christ. Why don't you add to the people of God?
To finish I would like to share the idea that by our
nature we are not more than animals with an end to our flesh. That our
instincts oppose to the Lord in the spiritual, because our body follows
the order that God gave the animal, and that if we do not repent, which
means to change our personal mind for Christ's with ours, we cannot come
back to God as we were before the creation of the world when He knew us,
because God looks at the heart, which we don't even know ourselves.
1CORINTHIANS:
CHAPTER
15
44.- It is sown a natural body; it is raised a
spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45.-And so it is written, The first man Adam was
made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46.-Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual,
but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47.-The first man is of the earth, earthy: the
second man is the Lord from heaven.
48.-As is the earthy, such are they also that are
earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49.-And as we have borne the image of the earthy,
we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50.-Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood
cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit
incorruption.
LAST TEXT
ROMANS:
CHAPTER
5
12.-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:
13.-(For until the law sin was in the world: but
sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14.-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.
15.-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.
16.-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.
17.-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.)
18.-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.
19.-For as by one man’s disobedience many were
made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
20.-Moreover the law entered, that the offence
might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
21.-That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so
might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus
Christ our Lord.
CONCLUSION
When we are with the Lord, those who have delivered to
Christ and have repented being saved by his Blood, (those who have known
the Gospel, and those who will do it then because they did not know it,
but their hearts was seeking God in repentance) we will then see how we
were created by God, and if there was an Adam and an Eve (like the
latest discoveries in Africa and the Bible text) and how we were
evoluted. What matters is that we can be with Him for eternity, and that
our lives have been transformed today and until the end of our days.
That we have been set free from slavery to our society and may walk
free. Blessed be your infinite love Lord Yahshua.
Is there life after death?
For this theme access directly in
a study about
RESURRECTION.
Nano robots in the brain for 2020.
AND THE CONQUEST OF SPACE.
"The Singularity is Near: When Humans
Transcend Biology" is the work of the inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil
who prepares the adapting of nano robots to be inserted in the blood
stream and which establishing in the brain will enhance our memory
capacity, and will be able to be used for other matters. Surely they can
be used to control any person once "equipped" with this technology. A
step away from the bionic man!. Stephen Hawking on his side proposes
that we must urgently use his knowledge in the conquest of other planets
before humanity extinguishes, either through plagues, through nuclear
war or meteorite impact. Non of them seem to remember the second letter
of the Apostle Peter:
...But the day of the Lord will come
as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a
great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth
also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of
persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12Looking
for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the
heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt
with fervent heat? 13Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for
new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Scientific data of the Apostle
Peter.
The Bible contains so much scientific data that we would be
amazed, since creation until the end, data which is what today scientists with
today technology find after analyzing the behavior of elements.
I was reading the 3rd chapter of the 2nd universal
letter of the Apostle Peter, a man who wasn't specially of science, but
who talks about the following:
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the
word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and
in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with
water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same
word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment
and perdition of ungodly men.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the
night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great
noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and
the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that
all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to
be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto
the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire
shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for
new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Then all that I read matched with revelation 6:14
...And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and
every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
Don't you think its credible enough and up to now according
to what current science explains to us regarding the behavior of the universe,
the Big Bang, the explosion of matter in the origins, and according to
scientists it will contract or burn in some kind of galactic crash??? Wont it be
that God has given His creation physical and quantum laws, has explained since
the origin, how His creation works and calls for us to seek Him, because He
wants to show us the truth of all that's created as well a all knowledge of Him?
