Before the end of the first century, most true Christians recognized Matthew’s Gospel as the most complete and accurate chronological record of the saving works by Jesus, the Jewish Messiah.
Matthew’s Gospel became the foundation of all we know about Jesus and His salvation. Thus, the wisest elders of the true church chose Matthew’s Gospel to be the first book in the canon of the New Covenant Scriptures, used it to help new believers begin their walk of faith.
Notices
Quotes from the Bible often include underlining, bold print and italics. These are usually mine, the author’s, and not found in the quoted versions. I also frequently replaced translations of God’s name, such as “the LORD,” with a literal translation in square brackets, such as [Yahweh], then capitalized personal pronouns and titles referring to God or any Person of God, as a sign of respect for Him. I corrected some capitalization errors too (e.g., I capitalized “Spirit” if it refers to God, or changed “Spirit” to a lower-case “spirit,” if it referred to a human spirit).
Most Biblical quotes are from the World English Bible (WEB), a 1997 public-domain revision of the American Standard Version of the Bible. When an English translation of the Bible does not specify a version, and is followed by the translated Greek text or by the acronym “ALT”
(standing for: Alternative Literal Translation), it was translated by me, the author, Greg Supina.

My doctrines are nondenominational, based on Scriptures alone. However, some would classify my doctrines as “Reformed New Covenant Baptist Theology” (i.e., I reject Covenant theology and I also teach the eschatological doctrines of the old Baptist Historic Premillennialism).
The cover art is called Tearing Down the Walls of Darkness, an acrylic painting on canvas created by my brother, Nick Supina, in 1993. It depicts Jesus, born as our King and seated on His humble earthly throne as a child. Then we see the cross. His betrayer, Judas, flees from its in despair, and casts aside his 30 blackened coins; even as Peter repents below and behind that cross as the cock crows. In the last frame, an angel has rolled away the round stone door from Jesus’
tomb, and our risen Lord is seen transfiguring, for His ascension up to His throne in heaven.

First and foremost, I thank my Lord and my God, Jesus, from whom all knowledge, wisdom and useful thoughts ultimately originate. I thank Jesus for His blessings realized through His creations and His loving elect children, as well as through my beautiful wife’s heart, my three wonderful sons, whom He brought into our lives, as wel as my precious and wondrous grandchildren. And I cannot forget my dear older brother and extended family, nor the spectrum of friends He placed within the spheres of our lives. I must also thank Jesus for the government of this land, who enabled my works through the freedoms , opportunities and resources they provided according to God’s will. And may Jesus also bless the works of the souls who freely provided the tools I used to write my books (like Ubuntu, LebreOffice and other open source software). So many have given so much to their brothers and sisters in humankind.
We are all ignorant and infantile, with much to learn, spiritually and physically. And we must learn rapidly, for the survival of humankind. But no man can learn even the smallest fraction of all we need to know. And every human being on earth is a biased sinner who resists the truth, so we all remain in terrible shape, on the brink of total destruction caused by our own sins. Neither I nor any other human being is an exception to these stated realities. But each of the elect can be brought into some repentance, into some truths, and learn a few useful bits of data and information. Then, as parts of the body of our God Jesus, we can share those truths, then work as one people. And, with God’s powerful help and blessings, we can make progress in saving humanity.
In this book, I try to reveal some of what I have learned in my old age. But my works are full of errors and inadequacies. All is incomplete and requires much more to be done. So I pray that God will send more honest and faithful workers into the harvest. Today, almost all churches are causing more harm than good, serving Satan far more than God, and many elect remain trapped within those churches. Since the one and only hope for humankind is to gain a right understanding of the intentions and purposes of their Creator, so they can build up His just, loving kingdom on earth for the safety and preservation of all, we desperately need God to send His well-taught and rightly trained assistants to us. We need unbiased researchers and thinkers who will nullify the lies and sins of deceivers. At the same time, we need those workers to remember their first love as they do this (Rev. 2:2-5). For our God Jesus only counsels, teaches and delivers us from the ravages of evil if we do His just, equitable will through His kind of love.
We cannot find the knowledge, wisdom or strength to heal ourselves, and do not deserve to be rescued from ourselves, because all we think and do is through selfish and outright evil motives.
So, nevertheless, I beg God to grant us Christ’s salvation through His unmerited and unearned grace. I bow before Him pleading that He might teach and train our spirits to fulfill His righteous, just, equitable, loving will upon this earth. For, if it were not for His grace, not one of us could ever be saved.
In Jesus, we have hope. And we have true rest in His bright light. So let none rely on ourselves, nor esteem human beings as the gods we worship and rely upon for salvation. For the solution to earth’s life-threatening troubles will never be found in the weakness and ignorance of selfish, sinful human beings. And we certainly do not need human “leaders,” human heads to control and command us. For all history proves the deadly effects of that. Rather, let Christ’s Holy Spirit wake our spirits, so all our daily decisions and activities will be ruled by Him, so we walk according to all He teaches to our spirits, so we might accomplish all He trains and commands our spirits to do in His name. Let us confess our horrible failures full of sin, and admit that we cannot save ourselves.
All we truly need is granted through our trust in the love, power, words and resources of the real and now living Jesus. In Jesus alone, we can survive and find abundant life.
Greg.
The life and times of God on Earth
“But let us, since we belong to the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and, for a helmet, the hope of salvation. For God didn’t appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.”
I Thessalonians 5:8-10, WEB
Foundational Precepts
Before we begin this study of Matthew’s Gospel, I would like to address a number of teachings which definitely must be questioned, reexamined in the light of the Bible and corrected. For many church doctrines and world views severely distort the way the Gospel and the entire Bible are perceived and interpreted. We need to realize that the original beliefs of Jesus and His disciples were actually nothing like those now being proclaimed from our pulpits. Most of the core teachings that Jesus taught from the Old Testament, for the New Testament, were consistent, harmonious and rational. So the theological, anthropological, soteriological, eschatological and other teachings of the first-century apostolic church established by Jesus, such as those found in Matthew’s Gospel, were also wise. But the cloudy mess of inconsistent, conflicting, destructive and foolish teachings heard in churches today can only confuse and obscure every aspect of understanding regarding the words of the Bible. So first let me discuss a few ways that biblical teachings differ from teachings in churches today. Of course, I will not be able to go through all the Scriptures that support these biblical teachings, since some doctrines would require a rather lengthy book to adequately show how and why the Bible teaches them. But I promise, this study of Matthew’s Gospel itself will confirm most of the foundational precepts discussed in this chapter.
Jesus came at a time when some still clung to the last vestiges of true biblical Old Covenant theology.
Since the time of Israel’s Babylonian captivity, this nation-priesthood, established by God through Abraham, had become increasingly tainted by pagan influences. By the first century AD, its religious leadership developed into a thoroughly efficient propagandizing hierarchy, just like those in the “great”
oppressive empires they had dwelt in. After syncretizing the spiritual, moral and cultural beliefs of Babylon, Persia and especially Greece, arrogance had won the hearts and minds of its nominally devout Jewish majority. Then Roman sophistry completed Israel’s transition away from the purely theistic, humbling faith which God once taught to His priesthood of Israel. As Jesus began His ministry among the Jews, they had mostly transformed into a pagan-like religion of forms, man-made traditions and rules enforced by an elite power consisting of inordinately esteemed men. Their priests and elders no longer resembled the candid, unaffected prophets of the Old Covenant times, and they definitely did not love God. So Jesus chose to come at that time, while a few Jewish souls still loved the God of the Bible, with spirits who never stopped following the truths He taught to His Israel from the beginning.
Each of the four Gospels provides an account of the promised Messiah’s arrival, His ministry, His teachings, and His other works for the salvation of His people. In other words, the Gospels tell us how Jesus fulfills the New Covenant promises that God gave to Israel. But, if we do not know what kind of salvation God promised to grant us, the Gospels cannot make much sense. For millenniums we have heard gospels preached by many contradicting denominations and churches. So the hearers of all these opposing gospels—even most priests, pastors and seminary teachers—have seldom truly grasped most
of the truths in the Gospels, since they interpret its words according to very wrong assumptions about salvation. With these wrong assumptions, they remain incapable of discovering all that Jesus and His apostles actually proclaimed in the first century. Therefore, let me begin this book, which examines the first and most chronologically accurate Gospel, with an explanation of true salvation and other relevant information, to help you acquire a biblical understanding of the abundant life Jesus came to grant us.
It is essential to define some theological terms in a more biblical way than most have in the past, before the Gospels can be fully understood. Since different churches, religions and philosophies define words like “salvation,” “spirit” and “soul” in such deviously different ways, it becomes difficult or impossible to comprehend what the Gospel writers intended their words to mean. For their own biblical and Jewish definitions of many words differ radically from those taught in most pulpits, or by secular sources. And Matthew’s Gospel was written for one purpose, to testify about the Jewish Messiah’s salvation to true Jews, that is, to the Jews who held firm to the God of the Bible, with an inner love for Him and for all His truths. So, first, we need to know Matthew’s biblical and Jewish definition of salvation, the kind proclaimed by the Jewish Messiah, Jesus. For all the other kinds are irrelevant inventions created by vain men. This also means we must learn the Jewish anthropological doctrines held by the Jewish Jesus and His truly Jewish apostles. We need to know how Jesus and Matthew defined the nature of a human being, as God’s creations in His own image, as beings with three principal parts. And only one of the three parts is actually made in God’s image, as the only part receiving His true salvation.
To understand how the promised Messiah saves us, we first need to realize that Jesus, Matthew and biblical Jews believed every human being consists of three unequal parts: (1) a spirit, (2) a body and (3) a soul. The spirit (πνεῦμα) is eternal. And each spirit needs a body (σῶμα) to express itself to others, through words and deeds. So God granted a body of dying, temporary, earthly flesh to every spirit while it dwells on earth, not just to human spirits, but to the spirits of all living creations. This earthly flesh (σάρξ) is extremely fragile and easily destroyed. Yet it destined to be replaced with a new body, so it can dwell in the eternal lands after death. After our spirits leave our flesh behind, they will forever possess new bodies made of eternal, stronger, spiritual substances. For our new bodies will need to bear a heavier and more real reality of an eternal spiritual realm, heaven or hell.
As for the soul (ψυχή), it is an impassive tool or instrument within every body of flesh. Basically, a soul is what we might call an interface, and used to facilitate communication between the mind of the spirit and the mind of the body. Or it might be figuratively likened to a chamber where a physical brain of the flesh can meet with the mind of the spirit to make the choices of life. Then, because the soul is where the two minds formulate all of one’s thoughts and decisions in life, biblical Jews and the original Christians also used the word “soul” whenever they referred to the whole of a human being’s character, attributes and inner workings. A “soul” indicated all of one’s thoughts, desires, knowledge, wisdom and passions, all one’s love and all hate, all rising from the mind of the spirit and mind of flesh working together in the soul. Therefore, in the Old and New Testament Scriptures, the word “soul” can either refer to: (1) the impassive interface facilitating communications between a person’s two minds, a chamber where spirit and flesh meet, or (2) the entirety of one’s inner being.
Christ’s salvation saves only the eternal human spirit, and views the body of flesh as expendable.
Thus, obviously, God was working His eternal salvation for the spirits of His people during the Old Testament times and from the beginning. And that earlier salvation was exactly the same as the New Covenant salvation of Jesus Christ. Both the old and new salvations have worked in human hearts, where the human spirits dwell. God’s salvation existed long before the birth, death, resurrection and Page 2
ascension of Jesus, before Jesus sent His saving Holy Spirit into the hearts of His people on the day of the Pentecost. And it was always Jesus who worked this salvation, even from the beginning of days. Furthermore, this salvation is the only source of just, pure, God-like love. It causes the eyes of one’s spirit see God more clearly and accurately. Then the ears of a spirit begin to hear God’s words more and more accurately. So the heart begins to heed Him more carefully, to do His will in a more right, just and loving way. This salvation of God prepares and causes one’s spirit to walk in God’s righteous love, to ponder the truest course of action, to work for the good of all according to a wisely applied knowledge of God’s ways. One begins to act in the way God Himself would apply His Law in His own life. Everyone being saved by God is being moulded into an image of our God, Jesus.
We need to understand that biblical salvation is God working inside us, upon our spirits. It is not and can never be a human work of any kind, especially when we consider how, when Jesus begins His salvation, our spirits are called “babes in Christ.” Our spirits are infantile, immature and incapable of saving ourselves. Then our temporary, weak, faulty and dying minds of flesh certainly cannot even begin to help us in the works of salvation. Salvation is entirely a secret work of God to create and build up God’s kind of pure, just love in our spirits. So it is not a public work upon the flesh. Thus, it is not instantly recognized by the eyes of flesh belonging to the public. Salvation begins when God begins to teach and train our spirits to know and apply His truth in just and loving ways that do not destroy His creations. And God starts this work in us from birth, in ways that remain unrecognized by our minds of flesh until much later in life, or possibly not until we die, when our spirits go to the gates of heaven for the judgment day. However, there are more effective and less effective ways in which God can do this saving work. And the promised New Covenant salvation in the Messiah Jesus is absolutely the most effective way in which God is able to do His salvation works within our hearts.
Therefore, let no earthly church invent its own name-brand salvation. For God’s genuine salvation works can never be initiated or completed by any deeds of human beings, nor by any human priests or preachers. No one can be saved through magic words and deeds of mortal beings, not with any
“sacraments” performed by human flesh. None can be saved by reciting a magic “Sinner’s Prayer”
with the mouth of a physical body in public, at an “alter” built by men, as professional music and motivational rhetoric excites the emotions of the flesh. Thus, we can safely say that a biblical kind of salvation, the kind worked entirely by God in and for our spirits, is not being proclaimed by many churches today. Most are not preaching anything even remotely resembling God’s salvation of our spirits. In fact, those who trust in church brands of salvation must conclude that Mary, Joseph, God’s true prophets, the apostles, and everyone else living in the days before those churches began to exist, were not saved, because those people had no access to the proprietary kinds of salvation owned by those churches. Thus, all those churches must conclude that all of God’s most beloved servants in the Bible will go to hell. To be consistent and logical, they need to insist that all who did not hear and accept their name-brand salvations in the past, before their human-gods formed their churches, must be evil and will deserve hell. And all who do not hear their salvation message, through no fault of their own, also must go to hell. But that is clearly nonsense. So we are forced to conclude that those churches created a god of their own, and preach a totally false salvation message for that false god.
Since God’s true salvation in Jesus the Christ is not being proclaimed in most churches, and their understanding seems to have become totally adulterated and corrupted since the days of Matthew and the other apostles, they are, by definition, false churches. Those churches are no better than any of the pagan religions and cults they like to denigrate. And many are worse than those pagans. Then all the souls who have been steeped in their false teachings will not understand what I am writing in Page 3
this commentary about Matthew’s Gospel. So please let me further explain Christ’s real salvation and the biblical anthropological doctrines, so all might comprehend the truth taught in God’s Word.
I repeat, we first need to know that the Bible teaches about two kinds of minds and wills in every human being. Each individual has a thinking brain in the body of flesh, as well as a thinking mind in one’s spirit. Then God also created two basic kinds of human beings to walk on this temporary earth, although He granted an infinite variety of spiritual and physical callings and skills to each individual, whether or not an individual is of one basic kind or the other. Jesus, in Matthew’s Gospel, said the spirits or lives of human beings are like “seeds” planted on earth, some by Him and some by Satan:
“He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man [i.e., Jesus], the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom [That is the “children of the Kingdom” refers to the spirits born of the heavenly Father, who is one with our God Jesus. Only His children are the heirs of God’s Kingdom. And His Kingdom refers to all that belongs to Him, both on earth and in heaven.]; and the darnel weeds [i.e., darnel is a noxious grain that looks like wheat in the early stages of its growth] are the children of the evil one [i.e., the “children of the evil one” are those whose spirits were born from the spirit of Satan].
The enemy who sowed them is the devil [i.e., Satan]. The harvest is the end of the age [i.e., the “end of the age” is the judgment day], and the reapers are angels. As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age. The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity, and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” (Mat. 13:37-43, WEB).
Now remember, the Bible clearly says that literally all are sinners, both those with spirits born from God’s Spirit and those with spirits born from Satan’s spirit. So literally all “cause stumbling” and all
“do iniquity.” Yet Jesus clearly indicated that God’s children will not go to the “furnace of fire.” So we know that, just as our God and Judge Jesus clearly stated here, there will be none of the spirits born of Him who shall be cast into the “furnace,” which figuratively refers to hell, the spiritual place where a spiritual fire of self-centred frustration, wrath and hatred burns eternally within Satan, all demons and all spirits born of Satan. Not even one of God’s children will go to hell, even though literally all of them are sinners, in exactly the same way as those whom God sends to hell. And now we must ask the obvious question, why does our God Jesus save some sinners and not others? Well, clearly, Jesus is implying that His children will stop being sinners, but Satan’s children will not. By
“the end of the age,” by the end of the judgment day, all spirits born of God will become utterly holy.
In context, Jesus is here referring to the entire world, not just to Israel, nor to any other “church.” For Jesus directly stated that the “field” in this parable “is the world.” And “this age” began when the very first human lives were sown upon the earth, on the day God created Adam. Then the end of
“this age” occurs when the judgment day begins, which is after God destroys the whole earth and the entire material universe, including all the bodies of flesh that have ever existed. But the seeds sown by the “Son of Man,” who is God, who is Jesus, as well as the seeds sown by the devil, will all still exist after this “end of the age.” Thus, none of these “seeds” are flesh. For all bodies of flesh will be dead and even vaporized by the “end of the age.” So all these “seeds” must be the eternal life-giving spirits of human beings, not their physical bodies. Therefore, logically, the life-giving spirit in each human being must either originate from Jesus, our God, or from Satan. Every human spirit must be either born from God’s utterly holy and loving Spirit, or born from Satan’s unloving and lying spirit.
Page 4
Whether or not churches like it, God’s Word always teaches this dichotomy. Now, of course, God’s Word does not teach any kind of dichotomy regarding good and evil behaviours, because no human being can be called either good or evil solely according to any human judgments of their words and actions of the flesh. Yet God’s Word has definitely always taught these two dichotomies: (1) Every human being has two minds, a mind of the spirit and a mind of flesh, where both communicate with each other in a chamber called the soul; and (2) each one’s spirit is either born of God’s Spirit or born of Satan’s spirit. Then the New Testament writers, who penned their words through the direct influence of God’s Holy Spirit, developed a technical ecclesiastical term which referred to all the human spirits born of God’s Spirit, to those human spirits created in God’s image. The apostles called each an “elect” (ἐκλεκτός) child of God, a spirit whom God deliberately chose to create as a member of His eternal family, to live in His home of heaven. Jesus clearly taught that God willed to create some human spirits who are “good seed.” All these spirits were formed in His image, born with the same attributes found in His Spirit, who is one with their Father, God. Thus, all inevitably shall mature into His likeness. But God did not choose all. Many human spirits are not His elect.
In this parable about the Sower of wheat and tares (Mat. 13:24-30; 37-43), Jesus taught us about the creation and origin of human lives in this world, on this entire planet, since He explicitly defined what the “field” in this parable figuratively represented. Jesus clearly stated: ὁ ἀγρός ἐστιν ὁ κόσμος
(“the field is the world,” where κόσμος refers to human systems or groups like families, tribes, etc.).
Also, Jesus frequently called Himself the “Son of Man,” or, more accurately, “Son of mankind,” to indicate that His Spirit is God who became the life-giving Spirit in a body of human flesh born into mankind. Thus, Jesus here declared that He Himself placed all human spirits into all flesh, that He is our Creator, our God. When Jesus claimed to be the Sower of the good seed, He claimed to be God.
But, since that Sower deliberately allowed an enemy to sow noxious “darnel” seeds in His own field, this means Jesus intentionally let Satan do it. As the omniscient and omnipotent God, Satan could not possibly sow his own “seeds” without God knowing it, or without God being able to stop him.
Thus, Jesus permitted Satan to place spirit, made in his own loveless image, into many bodies of human flesh on this earth. Yes, the devil sowed those spirits while the Sower’s workers slept, that is, while God’s angels were not watching and not expecting anything like this to happen. But, since that Sower is Jesus, and Jesus is God, and God is always awake and alert, that Sower was never asleep.
Clearly, our God Jesus knows whenever Satan is sowing his own non-elect spirits into human bodies upon the earth, though all are made in that devil’s own loveless image. In fact, our God Jesus must have known the devil would do this even before the devil thought about doing it, since God created literally every aspect of that devil’s mind, and knew exactly how it functioned, in every detail. God intentionally created Satan and the other fallen angels to defective, lacking critical attributes, most of all, to be loveless. God knew and still knows every little thought in the mind of that demonic spirit.
God has to know all that occurs in His creation, since His power and will alone holds all spiritual and physical creations together, to maintain their existence. Thus, God cannot “sleep.” For even a nanosecond of God’s inattention would cause literally everything to vanish into non-existence. So Jesus definitely saw the devil sow his noxious seeds on earth, and still sees that demon do this every day. Yet our God Jesus, who bears the power to easily stop the devil from doing this, has neither said anything nor done anything to stop that fiend from placing the spirits of his loveless children into human bodies on earth. God merely informed His workers, the elect angels in heaven, about Satan’s evil deeds after they were completed. Although God knows all that occurs on earth and in heaven, He is still allowing Satan to place spirits of his children in flesh on earth, yet does nothing, though God definitely knows all the suffering and loss those loveless children will cause. And, clearly, God Page 5
Himself intentionally created the defective spirits of Satan and other demons, and did it within His eternal home of heaven. Then, when those defective, loveless spirits rebelled in heaven, just as God knew they would, God did not immediately send them to the place He had already built for them.
That is, God did not send them to hell. Instead, the Scriptures tell us that God immediately bound all these love-lacking spirits in limiting spiritual “chains,” then cast them all out of heaven, but onto the temporary earth, into His creation of a temporal material universe. It was God who put Satan and the demons on this earth, during the days of Adam and Eve, knowing they would soon cause all kinds of destruction. God chose to allow both His good and evil creations to cohabit this temporary place, until the “harvest,” that is, until He gathers all human spirits at the gates of heaven for judgment. In fact, the only reason God created the earth was so good and evil could exist side by side. But why?
All human beings are ultimately created by God, either directly through God’s own works, or indirectly through His permission granted to the spirit called Satan. Also, as a sown “seed,” each human being cannot help but grow into the kind of entity that each was created to become, as the kind of “seed” each is. A wheat seed cannot stop itself from becoming a wheat plant and bearing at least some good fruit for the harvest. Likewise, a “darnel” seed cannot stop itself from becoming a
“darnel” plant and bearing a noxious fruit, which will be destroyed by the Farmer. A seed cannot possibly choose to grow into any other kind of plant, nor bear any other kind of fruit. Each is and always will be what it was created to be. Its nature may be inhibited somewhat, but never altered by its own power through its own will. For each is created with a predetermined and inherent kind of
“will,” which can only desire to become what that spirit was created to be. Each is “hard-wired”
from birth to prefer either what God or Satan inherently prefers, and completely unable to alter its own inherent desires, neither while that spirit thinks its first thoughts in complete ignorance, nor as it is developing a system of thought. Its inherent nature merely grows from infancy. The “genetic” core propensities cannot change. So one’s inner desires shall always and forever gravitate towards what one was born to become. Circumstances may determine how healthy and upright it might be during any particular time during the process of growing, or how unhealthy and crushed it may become. Yet absolutely nothing can alter a spirit’s core inner will, to become the kind of being one was made to be. Each is only able to desire to be what one’s parental genes determined one to be, and will spend one’s entire life, even entire eternal life, growing more like one’s parental genes cause one to be. The events of life may temporarily hinder or harm that growth. But, since a spirit cannot die, and since God the Father has an eternity to teach and train His children, every elect spirit will inevitably grow into the likeness of God the Father, although each will also possess unique “genetic” variations too.
It is also obvious that some people were predestined to mature into the image of a different father, Satan. And all of these were born to share in their father’s eternal fate. All these inherently hate the truth, since truth is the foundation of all genuine love, and all these were born without any attributes of love. God’s primary attribute is love, and all His children are born with this attribute too, which is why all His children are so attracted to truth. But Satan’s children love only the kinds of lies and delusions which can provide them with the greatest personal gain. Because lies enable them to more easily gratify both their spirits and their flesh, they prefer lies. And, ultimately, their chosen lies and delusions make them feel like gods. The unrealities they gravitate towards help them deceive their own spirits into thinking they remain in control of their own destinies. And they want this feeling of being their own god, the ruler of their own destinies, because it is the only thing a loveless spirit can possibly desire. For a spirit cannot actually desire physical goods or physical pleasures, unless those physical things make their spirits feel like gods who are being served according to their own god-like wills. For all pure, just God-like love never worries about its own destiny, and only seeks to serve for Page 6
the benefit of others’ destinies. But Satan’s children have none of this kind of love, so their spiritual lust to be a god spills over into the actions of their flesh, into lies to themselves, into delusions that they will be more god-like if they can get others to worship them, by esteeming and serving them.
Only the elect were predestined to mature into the image of their heavenly Father, and share in His works for His heavenly home. Yet none were created to be puppets, automatons, machines or computers. None lack a will. For all God’s elect children were created in His image, and God most definitely has a very strong will. Thus, each child of God is born with a unique will in the infantile mind of one’s spirit, as well as a unique will in one’s mind of flesh. And the will of a mature elect spirit can become so strong that it can willingly sacrifice the life of its own body, in the same way our God Jesus did, for the good of loved ones. For all the thoughts of the physical brain ultimately can be ruled by the mind of the spirit, from within the chamber of the soul. Furthermore, each mind of an elect spirit is taught and trained by the Father. Their Father shapes and develops the desires of each spirit’s will. Just as human parents pass on genetic propensities to the bodies of their children, then shape the wills of their children’s minds of flesh from birth, so too do the parents of all spirits.
Now, by only four years of age, every human child’s mind of flesh is already basically “hard-wired,”
and a child is already predestined to become a certain kind of person, the kind which he or she will be throughout life. Likewise, the parents of each human spirit also “hard-wires” the character and core attributes of the mind of that spirit, first through its inherited spiritual “genes,” then through parental teaching and training of the infantile spirit. So Satan’s children inevitably grow even more deluded and more willing to lie throughout life. For their natural propensity to created their own fake realities, and lie both to themselves and to others, is taught and trained by Satan throughout their lives. Their father feeds them only delusions and lies, rooted in bitterness and hate, so they will think they are gods. Throughout this process, the devil’s children also develop malicious and murderous motives and intentions, more each year of their lives, in their zeal to strive after a god-like status.
And, if others enable them to act upon those evil motives and intentions, they will. They will hurt, exploit and murder, without any conscience. Also, the more awake a non-elect spirit might be, the faster and deeper it will fall into this psychopathic mode of thinking. Thus, although all with spirits born of Satan can only do evil when God and other human beings allow them to do it, and can only secretly cherish delusions and lies in the minds of their spirits whenever they are granted time to do so, all inevitably become like Satan as they age throughout eternity. It is not their fault, but all do so.
Conversely, our God Jesus teaches and trains every spirit that He created on this earth, and continues this work upon their spirits from the moment of their creation. But He will not complete these works of teaching and training until the end of the judgment day, after the flesh dies. Each elect child of God was created with a will that desires what God causes each to desire. And, from birth, each bears core attributes that ultimately long for the same things God desires. Then God develops those core inherent desires through the education of their spirits. God does all that a loving, responsible, good Father should do. So God’s children, throughout their lives, become more grounded in God’s actual created truths and realities. And all will grow many loving and life-enhancing motives and intentions in their hearts. Thus, the more awake their spirits might be, the faster and higher they will rise into this kind of thinking. But the more they are distracted from God and His inner teachings, the less time they are granted for their flesh to allow their spirits to allow their spirits to be taught and trained by their Father, the less they become like their Father. So, the work of the elect is to take the time to learn and believe God’s words, and to limit the distractions of the flesh, for those distractions profit them nothing. Only the things God gives to their spirits, His truths that build love, can truly benefit them in eternal ways. And, since all that is in them and through them is the work of God’s hands, the Page 7
elect children of God cannot ever take any real pride in anything they have done. Yet all can greatly rejoice when their spirits see their core and God-shaped desires being truly fulfilled by their Father.
The work of Satan upon the spirits of his children leads them all into lies and delusions, into the kind of spiritual darkness that God created for them in his eternal home of hell. And all the non-elect spirits, both the demons and their human children, love that darkness of lies and delusions, rather than the light of spiritual and physical truths. But the work of God upon the spirits of His children leads them into the light of all kinds of truth, and prepares them to serve His living creatures in His eternal home of heaven through wise and just love, in the same way He serves all. Jesus trains the elect to work beside Him, while He also serves His heavenly realm. Then, when the heavenly Father gathers His children from the earth into their eternal home, they will need a final time of teaching and training, on the judgment day. There all will be made fit and ready to love and serve multitudes of living creatures there, of an infinite variety. This teaching and training by our God Jesus Christ is our salvation. It saves us from an ignorant, dark and loveless existence. Then it also makes us hate all the empty and worthless lies and delusions leading to self-worship, all that Satan teaches to his children. So, in conclusion, the devil is a father who lies to and deceives his own children, so all might be tricked and deceived into doing his will. In fact, Satan also terrorizes his children into doing his will, using all kinds of threats to unjustly harm them. Thus, the devil’s children actually possess very little of anything that could be called a “free will.” Rather, all have merely a totally manipulated and coerced will, the kind a brutalized slave might have. Meanwhile, the elect have a will that slowly becomes more informed and wise over time, learning about the created realities in precisely the way God created them, and truths upon which they may build actual, pure, just and serving love. Then the elect spirits become stronger each day, able to spontaneously act on love.
Therefore, no one ever has what churches and secular academics define as “free will.” However, the salvation of Jesus builds a far stronger and far more informed will in the minds of elect spirits, and does not crush their wills in the way Satan enslaves his children. Jesus, who is one with our heavenly Father, causes the inherent longings of our hearts to grow more powerful, more spontaneously good and, thus, more free to do whatever we will to do. For the more God teaches us truth, and the more He trains us to wisely serve His created realities, the more we act through His kind of love. And God never opposes nor inhibits any deeds of wise love. And, actually, God created Satan and demons, then let them create loveless human spirits in their own image on earth, for this reason, to teach and train us to love freely and spontaneously, so we would not be mere robots serving Him. For God wanted us to know, experientially, the critical reasons for upholding love built on truth. After living on this earth, where both good and evil exist, we become better able to make right judgments based on truths and realities. After we witness the destruction of lovelessness worked through self-serving lies and delusions, and have discovered the evidence of inner joy through pure, just, God-like love, the wills of our spirits choose God. Through earthly life in flesh, our elect spirits start to comprehend why God allows evil to exist on this temporary earth, then turn to Him with our great hope and love.
God intentionally designed this earth to be a place where both kinds of human spirits could be placed in human bodies, each with an irresistible inherent propensity to gravitate towards the nature of the parent of one’s spirit. And God made each human being for a specific purpose. The wills of God’s own children are taught and trained to desire to work His kind of loving service for the good of all, and guard their love from apathy and selfishness. Then the wills of the devil’s children were made to be deceived and coerced into demonstrating and illustrating the effects of spiritual darkness, all the effects and results of lies and delusions. Then God’s children can clearly see that God and His ways Page 8
are indeed best. Then His elect children might understand that any deviance from His effective truth will invariably end in a harmful effect that will be regretted, possibly in a deadly and abhorrent sins.
Now, considering how every spirit is born with the “genetic” predispositions of one’s parent, and how each spirit’s parent shapes the thoughts of a spirit throughout its life, there can be no doubt that God has predestined each and every human spirit to dwell eternally in one place or another, either in hell or heaven. At the same time, we know that not everyone who intentionally sins in the flesh, is a child of Satan. For we know that literally all the elect sin, and that an elect one’s mind of flesh is easily taught and trained by other human flesh to desire and pursue evil. But only the non-elect have spirits which love sin too much to ever inwardly regret it, and never experience “godly sorrow” in a way that leads to the spirit’s true repentance. So the flesh of the elect and the non-elect is the same, and can be conditioned to think and act in evil ways. Then, if fears and desires of the flesh are made stronger by lies, an elect one’s mind of flesh may panic and ignore the mind of one’s elect spirit. The fear of the flesh may cause an ignorant and infantile elect spirit to become too afraid to trust God’s counsel given to one’s spirit. Then the flesh of the elect will become the same as the flesh of the non-elect. Only if an elect spirit wakes and begins to listen to the Spirit of Jesus—especially if the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in the chamber of the soul with the elect spirit—can the elect one’s mind of the spirit become strong enough to manage and take control over its mind of flesh. Only then, as Jesus teaches, trains and enables that elect spirit to manage its flesh, can the elect make one’s flesh submit to itself and to God. The flesh must be managed in a way that expresses the elect spirit’s desires. If an awakened elect spirit learns to heed Jesus’ Spirit, that elect one can then do the works of true, just, God-like kind of love. And it is those works, those “fruits” of the human elect spirit and God’s Spirit, which are able to reveal that the person is an elect brother or sister. If a “bad” person’s spirit begins to desire God, and the ways of God, that one has an elect spirit and will surely repent into God’s truth. For an elect spirit cannot help but desire God and truth. It is the inherent nature of every elect spirit. And this is how God predestined every elect spirit for heaven. By strengthening their innate wills, literally all elect will enter heaven, after Jesus completes their education on the judgment day.
Of course, the same is true for the non-elect. Satan strengthens and grows the wills of his non-elect sons and daughters until they all desire to be gods at any cost, until they are willing to even murder to get what they crave. And none of these non-elect, who are all predestined for hell, are complete automatons either, although all are either dupes or puppets of their father. Furthermore, literally all non-elect prefer hell to heaven. Not one non-elect spirit actually wants to go to heaven. For the spiritual darkness of hell’s infinite lies and delusions is very attractive to them, while the bright and exposing light of heaven’s truth terrifies them. Therefore, even if we see pastor of a large church, one who is created solely through the teaching and training of other human beings, and he outwardly appears to be good and godly, but he inwardly gravitates toward self-serving lies and delusions, we must not be so hasty as to call him an elect brother. If his spirit mostly seeks esteem, and he loves to be served, even in a way where he insists upon exerting god-like control, then he clearly does not trust in God nor emulates God. Rather, his very spirit wants to be a human god, and he wants to be worshipped by the church as their god. For worship is defined as esteeming and serving. Also, no matter how nice and clean-cut he may be, if that pastor desires money, power, glory and pleasures of the flesh, while he always hates and resists God’s realities and truths, including the suffering of other human souls, then that one’s spirit is most likely a child of Satan. If he is, then even all the “good works” and preaching which that non-elect pastor might do will ultimately and surely cause far more harm than good, since he will be doing it all through dark, deluded, selfish motives and intentions.
Page 9
Thus, we need to learn how to make right judgments, or at least be cautious enough to refuse to worship any human being. One of the first things we should realize is that all of the mature true elect know they are sinners, and deserving equal condemnation with all other sinners. Every mature elect soul has been humiliated in this way and, therefore, will never inwardly want to be worshipped, although one’s flesh might want to be, for its own advantage. And only the mature elect can serve as teaching elders in God’s true church. Thus, you should know that every church with god-like elder or pastor, any church led by one who demands everything to be done according his own will and insists on being called by a title of esteem, is a false church. For God’s Law, which Jesus fulfills in us and through us, forbids us to worship anyone or anything aside from Himself. So no elect should ever worship any of those pastors, by esteeming and serving them. For the worship of a human being, by esteeming and serving that which not perfectly wise and good, or even by esteeming and serving that which is overtly foolish, destructive and sinful, can never accomplish the same kind of good that is done by an elect spirit who esteems and serves the real God. So let us always esteem and serve only the perfect and wise good, and worship God alone. For even the charitable works of a false god will actually dehumanize the souls to whom that false god grants charity. The “good works” of false gods are never truly good, and never build up life and love in anyone. All the fruits of labours for false gods invariably end up being noxious, poisonous, destructive and deadly. The only good that any non-elect wanna-be god can ever do is through physical threats of the law. For the non-elect are utterly incapable of willingly doing good through God’s kind of love, in a way built on a foundation of the truth. Only when the loving limit the unloving to lawful actions, can those unloving do good.
So literally all the elect and all the non-elect can sin in exactly the same ways, through the same kind of flesh, either as expressions of a non-elect spirit or through the negligence of a weak, infantile elect spirit. Consequently, through the outward behaviours of the flesh, it is impossible to determine if any sinner is God’s elect child or Satan’s non-elect child, especially in lands where there are so very many lies about God and His words. All we can do is worship the real God alone, and learn to rightly understand His words and ways. Then God may choose to created some elect lives with mature spirits that are able to do His will on earth. God might choose to teach and train some elect spirits to also do works of teaching and judging in truly wise, just, equitable and loving ways. And, as these elect reach point where their spirits become mature enough to begin to truly do God’s works, all the other elect can recognize them as their brothers and sisters. Then the elect can choose to rely upon these mature true brothers, as trusted servants of their churches and communities, and thereby elect those whom God Himself has chosen, as their elders. The elect must elect that kind of sibling to do the teaching and judging in their churches and serve in the governments of their land. If they do this, there will be true freedom in their churches and lands, the kind that takes full responsibility for the needs of all the people, as well as all His other living creations, in equitable and just ways. For God only allows the laws of a land to suppress deliberate and intentional sin, not sins done in ignorance nor accidentally. His laws limit only the loveless desires of ruthless, deluded, lying non-elect. But good and wise laws never limit the loving desires of the wakened elect. Since the spirits of the wakened elect always want to do good through love, no godly laws must limit this, not once they are taught the truth and have been trained to apply that truth wisely. But the non-elect must be forced to do useful works, and physically prevented from attempting to deceive, exploit and harm other souls.
We need to be very careful when we judge souls. For very many elect outwardly appear evil, while many of the most evil, lying and murdering children of the devil trick the people into thinking they are gods serving God. And many elect actually think they are serving God as they do evil because of the lies their flesh has believed. In fact, some elect even murder innocent true servants of God, while Page 10
thinking they are serving God. Throughout history, up to this very day, most elect spirits have been completely silenced and suppressed by their own very wilful and deluded minds of flesh, because Satan’s children have fed their minds of flesh with so many lies and delusion. Satan’s children will tell the elect that truths are lies, and convince those elect that their lies are truths. Then the elect will diligently serve Satan through those lies, and violently oppose the real truth. Some elect are even duped into thinking that they will be cast into hell if they do not help Satan oppose God’s truth. And the devil also loves to make the infantile elect think that only his own appointed human gods can save them from threats that do not even exist. Many elect now think physical and spiritual life utterly depends on worshipping non-elect despots. As a result, many elect fear they will suffer a painful, impoverished death if they stop worshipping those human gods. Yet the opposite is true. If the elect woke up and cast out those deceivers, all would go well, and not even those non-elect would perish.
Now some may ask why God predestines all Satan’s children to eternally suffer in hell, since all were born with their attributes, and cannot be blamed for having them. Since lovelessness is not their fault, why will God send all those non-elect to this certain eternal fate of hell. The very thought of this repulses many, since it seems extremely unjust. Yet, is would be unjust, if human beings would predestine some lives to a hell on earth, such as ordaining our some of our sibling in the family of mankind to live and die in poverty, slavery, oppression, brutality, ignorance or any equally hellish fate. And the ultra rich capitalists, fascists, communists, dictators, racists, religious zealots and other children of the devil have been doing this throughout history, to this very day. Yet we do not judge them nearly as harshly as most like to judge the wise God, who knows the minds of all spirits, since they think God should know better. But God does know better than to heed them. And God also knows what hell actually is, far better than they do. However, we should also remember that all human spirits know exactly what the darkness of hell is to a certain extent. So all should realize that hell is the only place that loveless spirits, like the demons and their children, want to be their home.
We must not truncate our reasoning like those who accuse God of being unjust. Instead, we must think this through to a right conclusion. The only reason it seems so unjust to predestine some spirits to hell is because of ridiculous and completely untrue assumptions based on the teachings of Middle Platonism. Based on these false assumptions, many are deluded into thinking human beings have either a “free will” or no will at all. Many think that a “free will” allows each individual to create all the attributes of one’s own spirit and soul, to make oneself either good or evil. On the other hand, others will think that all is in the hands of the “fates,” that there is no God and we have no spirits or souls, but the material universe is simply producing all that occurs through cause and effect, where there are no real choices, merely a steady stream of programmed wills caused to make their choices.
None of these ways of thinking, which are all tightly and firmly jammed into a very small solid steel box of Platonic religion, will ever allow for the possibility that all humans, animals and plants are born with a will, with a spirit that has specific attributes, that already bears certain propensities and desires at birth, which each then develops through the education of their Creator. Platonists think that either nothing can be predestined, or that the material universe merely programs all life as machines, as automatons without any kind of true will all, where a choice-making will is merely a delusion, simply the effects of energy causing every thought for the purpose of complete futility. But those teachings of Platonism were created by those who hated God’s creations, both His spiritual and physical realities. So they invented a delusional realm for themselves, then applied those lies to build a society where they could become ruthless slave owners who could exploit their siblings in the family of mankind for their own carnal purposes. So they based all their philosophical and religious views on Satanic lies which made them feel like human gods. They imagined a new, self-serving Page 11
kind of dichotomy, where they would be wealthy, psychopathic owners of human beings that were thinking gods with a “free will,” while all the other humans and all other life was viewed as simple, unthinking, animated inanimate objects, property whom those gods owned and despotically ruled.
So these Platonists created a delusion to esteem themselves and force others to worship them in filial service, expecting their brutalized slave properties to “love” them more than their own parents. And, if any slave did not smile and show immense gratitude for receiving the grace of being enslaved by those human gods, they were tortured to death. Then these Platonists ruled over their wives and children in the same way they did with their slaves, affording them a little more status, but still ensuring that their families knew that they were the mere property of those human gods. Thus, those Platonists knew absolutely nothing about how to build a loving family. Then the meant that they could never understand anything written in God’s Word. For God created a true family for Himself, when He created elect human spirits and temporarily placed them in bodies of flesh inside the womb of earth. Therefore, since those children of Satan do not comprehend how God behaves a true Father, they cannot even begin to understand how, why and what God is accomplishing in elect spirits here.
The shifting sand foundation of the Platonists’ arrogant humanistic world view, upon which all their beliefs were and still are built, made the false assumption that a man can be his own creator and high god, even to the point a man could become the high god and owner of other human souls, dictating every decision of those other human lives, even whether those human properties may live or die.
This also meant that the ego of one human god was continuously warring against that of another, and that many of their human properties would be dragged into their stupid wars. So their religion, which worshipped human gods, caused deep divisions, instability, chaos and death. Each killed until the most devious and deadly psychopath won. After one psychopath overcame all who challenged his right to exert his will upon all, his lies became the new truth, which all other souls were expected to cheer and praise, so they too might gain a small share in the stolen, blood-drenched plunder which their human god allowed them to grab from dead hands of his victims. Through this religion, this worship of human gods, those Platonic humanists formed the “glory” of their ruthless, plundering, exploiting, oppressing, slave societies, even vast empires. For their cunning lies and perfected methods of warfare made their soldiers into murdering machines, incapable of exerting their own wills to ever show mercy or compassion. Yet everywhere they went, they turned lands into virtual hells, where everyone lived in constant fear. For every wanna-be god among them was forced to watch his back, lest another wanna-be god might murder him and steal his power, wealth and glory.
So their huge kingdoms were always brittle and fragile, although they could outwardly boast about impressive displays of plundered, blood-stained glitter, and we all love their self-glorifying edifices built by enslaved captives of senseless wars. So, because they boasted much, in extremely eloquent literature, these filthy little psychopaths remain esteemed as gods by most nations on earth today.
However, back in this existing reality, God ordained that a loving father and mother should pass on genetic traits to their children’s flesh, then teach and train each beloved child to fulfill his or her inwardly destined and desired life. Parents were to lovingly nurture and predestine the wills of their children’s lives, not crush their wills. And all these godly aspects of this parenting were completely foreign to Platonists. Thus, they could never truly understand how God’s predestines. But this—a family where parents love their children, and children love their parents, where parents serve their children and pass on the truths of God to them—was indeed created by God, to illustrate the kind of predestination He works upon elect spirits. And God also intended this loving family to be the model and pattern for every community and nation. Every corporate body and nation is to be a family that loves and cares for every member, with some sacrificially serving others wisely, like older parents.
Page 12
Of all the bodies of people God created or allowed to be created, He did not desire one to ruthlessly exploit souls and worship demons or a human god. However, God will hand stubborn, deliberate, greedy, carnally motivated and wilfully ignorant sinners over to Satan. Then that devil will delude them and create bodies of people within his kingdom of the world order. Those nations, and other corporate bodies in his demonic kingdom, will worship demons and raise up a few human gods who are able to brutally exploit the vast majority with impunity. A tiny minority will force all to blindly worship them, with the help of Satan’s power to delude their souls. But all Satan’s corporate bodies are illegitimate. For God always retains His absolute ownership of all, including Satan and all those whom he enslaves in his false nations and despotic corporate bodies, even in evil nuclear families.
Thus, if a legitimate corporate body is not created and ruled by God, or stands outside all that God desires for His creation, it belongs to Satan. However, even in God’s legitimate nations and other bodies of people, there will be two kinds of people, the elect and the non-elect. But God does not allow human beings to see the spirits of other human beings. Therefore, no human being is able to determine whether or not any other human being has an elect spirit. Since God prevents human spirits from seeing other spirits, unless He Himself reveals them, all human beings remain equal under God’s Law. All must be treated the same in a godly family of a godly nation, or in any other kind of legitimate corporate body. For all are equal in their weakness to believe lies or commit sins through their flesh, and not one can be recognized and legitimately judged to be either an elect or non-elect person. Then, within every society of people, God clearly commands that the more loving, honest souls, those He specifically gifts with certain kinds of knowledge and wisdom, will serve as teachers, judges, helpers, guides, counsellors and general servants of all the others, in the same way our loving, wise heavenly Father continuously serves all the life He created. For we can have only one law-giving King if we want justice, peace and love in our families and nations. Only the most wise, honest, faithful and loving God, who is the Servant of all, seeking good for all, must rule each individual’s life. So all God’s awakened elect children need to serve God, by serving all lives in His creation, by counselling against and limiting the lies, injustice, sins and destructive inclinations of both the non-elect and the elect, and by encouraging any and all good, God-given potentials. And this can never be done by rigid censorship and threats of extreme punishments, which is terrorism. It can only be done by wise, effective teaching, by letting God’s greatest rewards of joy in just love flow freely from the hearts of the receptive. Then God Himself will work for His children, since God sees Himself as a loving Servant of all. And God Himself will prevent the children of Satan—all deluded little wanna-be gods, who long to be worshipped and served by all—from serving Satan.
Too often the elect fall back in faithless fear, and do not trust that God is able to break the lying power of Satan which binds together his illegitimate corporate bodies. And, throughout history, the devil’s preachers have been feeding demonic lies to their people, to keep them afraid. So the people act in mindless fear, never in truth, never weighing the evidence of spiritual and physical realities and praying for wisdom. And the greatest lies of these false Platonic churches are to convince their people that they are superior, that they are being threatened by non-existent enemies, and that they must take up the weapons of Satan’s world order to kill and oppress those non-existent enemies.
Above all, as they bow to the devil and serve him, these fakes love to lie about all this being God’s will, so that they might slander the real God. But, when these false churches, with their evil nations and demonic bodies of people, war against the real God and His corporate bodies, our first line of defence must always be to voice truth, the spiritual and physical realities created by God. For God makes His truths pierce deeply, with a power to divide the enemy, and turn each individual enemy violently against the other. God can cause the truth, especially His spiritual truth, to utterly fracture Page 13
an illegitimate corporate body, and bring its captive elect back to us. Yes, Christians may sometimes need to take up arms against violent criminals, even against whole criminal nations. But their hope never rests in physical weapons, only in God’s power. And they seek to take their enemies alive, if possible, so just judges might teach them the truth and possibly find repentant elect among them. All our wars chiefly rely on God’s ability to destroy the power of His enemies, in their spirits and minds.
Yet most elect forget this. At the first sign of trouble or hardship, they run back to Satan’s religion of humanism. They demand stricter laws and humanistic rule through terrorism. Their churches stop preaching genuine biblical truths, and desperately adopt some twisted form of Platonism. For the elite Platonic human gods know how to keep these duped inferior masses afraid and needy, so they will think they need to serve those human gods, in wars against the deemed enemies of those elite, although those human gods are actually their worst enemies, and enemies of God. The strategy of those elite Platonists has always gone something like this: (1) make money become the only tool used to control all the needs of all the people; (2) deprive many needs from their inferior duped masses through “austerity measures,” so a huge portion of the money can be taken by those elite, and so less will be given to their dupes, until their dupes need to become their slaves to survive; (3) keep this stolen money withheld in a separate economy exclusively accessed by the elite, in a way that is inaccessible to their dupes, in properties used solely for extreme self-indulgence, such as mansions and golden trinkets, so most of the controlling money cannot “trickle down” to their suffering dupes; (4) tell lies to their dupes, falsely accusing certain identifiable groups among them (such as visible minorities, Jews, specific political or ideological adherents, and so on), pretending that they are the cause of all their suffering and poverty, and keep repeating those lies, until the duped masses believe they are true; (5) offer to become the saviours of those dupes, if only those dupes will worship them, by esteeming and serving them even more than they did before; (6) use terrorism and violence to murder and enslave the innocent human souls that they lied about, so their property and lives may be taken as plunder to those elites; and (7) repeat this cycle of ruthless exploitation over again, forever.
Those who cause most of the unjust suffering and death in the world are the same ones who love to take the most credit for being great saviour gods of their victims, then demand the “right” to be worshipped through inordinately high esteem and self-indulgent rewards. And they insist that their dupes give them this worship solely so they can exploit those deluded souls, so they can own them as their livestock, so those humanistic elite can become their heads who usurp the true right of Jesus to remain their only Head. And it is those human gods who created and established fake churches who uphold the power of unjust kings and despots, with their power to create oppressive, violent governing bodies and send out their “law-and-order” thugs. But let these people, who worship those criminals as their saviour gods, know that literally all human beings are equally weak and fallible creatures, including literally all of those supposedly superior human gods who deceive and exploit.
And how do those elite humanists make the foolish elect believe their lies? The very first step is to delude them into thinking all human beings are created the same, all formed from the same mould, just as some of their pagan Platonic human gods began to teach in the early seasons of this religion.
For, if all believe that all were created the same, then those ruthless dictators who exploit them must have created and shaped themselves to become superior to all the mindless masses they exploit. So it is must always be the fault of the masses for not becoming superior like those elite human gods. If a little orphan is abandoned and destitute, let her die, since it is her own fault that she got herself into that circumstance. Yet, in reality, it is not her fault, and God commands us to care for her, and even to help those who do actually fall into desperate situations through their own bad choices and their own negligence. Nor did those elite human gods become “great” through their own wills. Rather, Page 14
they became the chief human gods of those dupes because those dupes abandoned God and His ways so deliberately and badly that God handed them over to Satan. Then that devil deludes them so much that they actually think those psychopaths, the worst and most destructive of all human souls, are superior to them, worthy of receiving their worship, worthy of being esteemed above all and served.
God hands a godless people over to Satan’s world order. And Satan ordains his children who emulate and worship him the most, as the lords of his kingdom, as the secular and religious authorities over all within his kingdom. And Satan, who was a liar and murderer from the beginning, counsels his favourite children to rule the churches, institutions, provinces, states and subject nations of his kingdom through lies and murder. He teaches his most cherished ones to keep the masses obedient through terrorism, by torturing and murdering any opposition. Then that evil spirit entertains himself by getting his children to stab their siblings in the back, in an unholy competition to become the most highly worshipped human gods. Thus, those human gods use the lie of “free will” to terrorize the inferior masses, and maintain their place at the top of their ruthless, hierarchical structures, to remain the only human gods who own the duped masses. None of their power is actually used to serve the needs of the people, although they do throw a few scraps from their table to them, so they might appear to be “good” and “benevolent.” Rather, all their power is used to glorify themselves.
All these leaching human gods want be esteemed as the greatest of all human gods. And most love to be esteemed as “strong” and “brave,” because they are psychopaths who can threaten, murder and plunder their way to the top of one of the steep hierarchies which exist in all institutions within the devil’s world order. And even most of the elect become so deluded that they somehow think that none but the most loveless, self-serving, vain, psychopathic souls deserve to be worshipped and served as the “greatest” of human gods in their institutions, in their churches and governments. All these deluded demonic souls think a “strong will” is the most critical “virtue” of their unjust, sick and self-serving “leaders.” So, while being ruthlessly exploited for the pleasure of these gods, they continue to worship those fools, since they “need” a “strong” despot to maintain “order” for them.
By the end of the first century, these pagan Platonists wormed their way into the church, and completely took over the leadership of the church, through Satanic deceptions and brute force. Of course, these children of Satan could only take over the physical appearance of a “church,” and could never eliminate the true church of Jesus Christ. For Jesus continued to save elect souls everywhere, in spite of them, just as He did before then, and throughout the history of the world. But this false, humanistic, Platonic church did work very hard to corrupt and nullify God’s Word, so they could slow down the progress of Christ’s salvation among His elect, at least while the elect lived on earth. That fake church could not stop the power of Jesus to teach and train elect spirits about His just love, nor prevent His judgment day from completing His work in them. But that fake church could distract many elect souls away from their Lord Jesus and slow down their salvation, while providing a good living for the human gods who owned them, since that church duped elect souls into serving it. That fake Platonic church suppressed, exploited, enslaved and even murdered the true elect, whenever they showed any sign of growing in truth, wisdom and love through Christ’s real salvation. And it also terrorized the true elect with threats of physical torture ending in a gruesome death. Then the human gods of that fake church also invented a great lie, and claimed the power of the real Jesus, even the authority to cast souls into hell, if anyone did not worship and serve them.
But, of course, there is only one final Judge of all human beings, God the Father in God the Son.
And that Judge convicts all elect souls of sin by teaching the truth, so they might repent into that truth and learn to love in God’s just and equitable way. This, the false church could never stop. Our Judge, our God Jesus, continued all His saving works in elect spirits throughout the entire world.
Page 15
When these liars taught pagan Platonism to the people, most began to assume that everyone was created with the same kind of “free will,” and each one becomes whatever one causes oneself to become, through that so-called “free will.” Therefore, all assumed that those psychopathic heads of their churches made themselves holy through “free will,” and earned their positions of power from God through their own wills and efforts. Yet, at the same time, these liars contradicted themselves.
For those same Platonists often declared that only those with “noble” blood could possess the strong kind of “free will” necessary to become a human god who owns “weak willed” souls as his property.
So these humanists convinced the people that the “human will” of the children of these human gods also possessed the “right” to be worshipped and served, even at a great expense, by stealing from the needs of their inferiors. The “common” people assumed they were inferior to these human gods, since they found it impossible to exert their human wills as effectively as those psychopathic human gods who owned them, including the descendants of those psychopaths who inherited the ownership of those people. So these doctrines of “free will” not only enslaved the people to the original lying psychopaths, but also to the descendants of those Satan-ordained human gods, as perpetual property.
Also, if all these humanistic lies were true, then the only possible way to get to heaven was through the efforts of the human will. And, since the liars described heaven and hell in purely physical terms, saying that heaven was a place of physical pleasure and hell was a place of physical pain, the people assumed that heaven and hell were earned through physical deeds done according to the wills of the human gods ordained by Satan. And, since every dupe’s mind of flesh naturally desired this physical heaven, and, conversely, absolutely feared going to hell, both the carnal non-elect and the duped elect physically strove to serve the wills of Satan’s ordained lords, to avoid hell and earn heaven.
They would die for their demonic lords, and perform any sacrificial physical works in order to serve for the pleasure of their human gods, even unjustly murder the innocent, so they might earn heaven.
However, heaven and hell are not physical places. They are both spiritual places consisting of spirits in bodies made of spiritual substances, with other spirits in other kinds of bodies made of the same substances, and where all heaven’s land, waters and sky are also made of eternal elements which are not physical, not subject to entropy, and consists of pure energy ruled by God’s will alone. Because of this, we know that all Satan’s children would never want to go to the real heaven, and all actually would will prefer to dwell hell after their bodies die. Thus, the doctrines of predestination could be only be unjust and cruel if the Platonic lie of “free will” was true. If God prevented Satan’s children from going to heaven solely because their spirits did not have an opportunity to recreate themselves into good and worthy candidates for heaven, then, yes, God would be unjust. Yet those humanistic teachings of “free will” could not be further from the truth. In reality, not one of Satan’s children has even a dim flicker of desire to create oneself into God’s just and loving image, to become one who builds love on a foundation of realities and truths. Nor do any love the truth more than the lies they have grasped at and accumulated as their most cherished treasures, especially their lies about being their own gods. So none would want to enter the real heaven, where its light would burn away all their beloved lies and delusions. The only way any of them would want heaven is if it was possible for them to darken it with their lies and delusions, then usurp God’s rule over heaven. Only if Satan, his demons and his children could somehow destroy heaven, and turn heaven into hell, would those spirits ever have the slightest desire to enter there. So, in reality, literally all of the demons and all of the human spirits born of Satan bear a very strong desire and inherent preference for hell, with an equally strong abhorrence of the real and biblical kind of heaven. For heaven and hell are not nearly as symbolic and figurative as the material space-time continuum. All that is physical is a mere mist, Page 16
a shifting and shadowy representation of far more solid and eternal realities in heaven and hell. Earth contains allegories of both good and evil. But good and evil remain separated in the spiritual realm.
In the spiritual realm, darkness is not a lack of physical light, not a lack of a visible spectrum of energy waves emitted by matter. Rather, in spiritual space-time continuum, darkness consists of a lack of spiritual energy emitted by spiritual matter, that is a lack of truth. The darkness of hell is essentially lies and delusions from a spirit. But this darkness also manifests in ways that will be seen, heard, smelled, tasted and touched by all the senses of the new spiritual bodies that all non-elect spirits will receive when all enter that spiritual realm. Then spiritual light consists of the truth about God and His good creations, the realities which build up and support the weight of God-like love.
So, in heaven, this spiritual light also manifests itself in ways that spiritual bodies can perceive with all their senses, in many colours, textures, shapes and sounds. All pains and pleasures in the spiritual realm are spiritual too. So the pains of hell are in the spirits, and the pleasures of heaven are spiritual.
Then the waters of heaven refresh a spiritual body in way that can only be dimly imaged on earth, while the fires of hell burn a spiritual body in ways that make burning flesh seem scarcely painful at all. The formidable wild beauty of bright heaven, and the bleak hierarchical ugliness of dark hell, are so real that the eyes of flesh cannot see them and live. For the senses of flesh are not nearly strong enough to bear either the pains or pleasures existing there. But every human spirit sees both heaven and hell, and each individual spirit longs for only one of these two spiritual places, while it also abhors the other. All non-elect spirits infinitely prefer the darkness of hell. Then all elect spirits are awed by the light and Source of light in heaven. All the elect long to enter that bright home of God.
All human beings actually know that, on earth, a spirit’s true nature, even all its thoughts and desires, can be hidden and suppressed by the flesh. Many spirits refuse to admit that they know this, but all do know this. Then, through fears of the flesh, many good works desired by a human elect spirit can remain suppressed or undone. Then the non-elect spirits, through fears of their flesh, must also suppress their evil works too, or do them in ways that cannot be seen by physical eyes, done in the physical darkness or behind opaque material entities and deceiving mirrors. The spiritual can be kept far from eyes of flesh, too far to discern easily, if even at all. A spirit, with all its thoughts and deeds, can be effectively masked by the physical. But spirits, as well as all that is in them or from them, will be entirely unmasked and clearly seen in the spiritual realm, both in heaven and in hell. So the human spirits that truly desire the light of heaven and crave love, will be identified and granted these desires. But the human spirits who love darkness rather than light, and bear no ability to love—who invent their own worlds of delusions and lies, which they pretend to rule as creator gods—also will be identified and cast into hell. In fact, the moment they awake on the judgment day, all these non-elect souls will flee from God’s light, willingly into hell, where their beloved delusions and lies can be kept safe from light’s destroying power, so they can cling to their beloved darkness forevermore.
Hell is a place consisting of spiritual darkness and spiritual fire, not physical darkness and physical fire. And hell totally lacks any spiritual energy or matter. For everything made of spiritual substance in the spiritual realm emits God’s light (i.e., all spiritual creations manifest truth and reality created by God from within Himself, just as angels do in transfigured forms and like the transfigured body of Jesus on the mount). Thus, God does not allow any of His complete spiritual creations to be in hell, not even the substance of the spiritual realm’s ground, which spirits walk, rest and work upon.
So hell is a bottomless pit, a void with no ground to stand upon, nor any other spiritual substances, nothing but the spirits and spiritual bodies of the non-elect. Yet this is exactly what Satan and his children want. For every good creation of God would remind those citizens of hell about all they hate most. Any good spiritual substances would clearly reveal the attributes and nature of God, since Page 17
God’s light of truth permeates all His complete creations and reveal His ways. So hell needs to be an utterly dark vacuum, where no physical substances and no good spiritual substances exist. For all the demons and all non-elect spirits crave this kind of darkness in hell, because that utter darkness is the only thing which allows them to maintain their precious lies and delusions. Hell is the only place where they can delude themselves into believing they are gods, the only place they can keep clinging to the fantasy worlds they created in their own minds. And that is all the non-elect actually desire.
All non-elect spirits love the darkness of their own spiritual delusions and lies, and hate any truths or realities that might expose and destroy their lies and delusions. For they all very carefully craft those inner delusions and lies, throughout their lifetimes on this earth. Only heaven is filled to overflowing with the exposing light of God. The Creator’s truth and wisdom, emanating from His Spirit, shines unfiltered and undiminished everywhere in heaven, and from everything, even in every tiny crack and crevice. So there is no way to escape God’s light in heaven. And elect spirits love this aspect of heaven, perceiving it to be beautiful beyond anything they could ever find on earth, since it is the original beauty from which all the facsimiles on earth derive their beauty. We need to understand that demons and Satan’s human children fear and despise this kind of heavenly, spiritual beauty, almost as much as they hate God Himself. For all that beauty and light reveals God Himself, who crushes their lies and delusions with it. So, although delusions and lies of demons and Satan’s children will never be fulfilled in hell, since they can never again exploit any of God’s good and completed kinds of creations to carry out their dark desires, all the non-elect prefer hell to the real heaven. The real hell is their home, their “heaven.” Only in hell can they preserve their most beloved possessions of their spirits, their own personal treasures of all their cherished lies and delusions. However, their total inability to actuate and fulfill the desires of their lies and delusions will frustrate them. Their impotence, where not even Satan himself bears the power to terrorize, subjugate, dehumanize and control anyone, nor pretend to own anything like a god, will forever burn like a raging fire within them, and eternally eat at their hearts like gnawing worms. So hell will be tortuous for them. For, on earth, they could use lies and the strength of their flesh to exploit and destroy, to make themselves feel like gods. And the more they did this on earth, the more frustrating it will be for them in hell, where they can no longer do a single thing to make themselves feel like gods. Even so, all non-elect spirits will prefer hell to heaven, since the darkness that each one created for oneself became each one’s whole identity and each one’s most cherished possession, each one’s entire reason for existing.
Yes, in hell, the unfulfilled cravings of those wicked, deluded spirits will forever gnaw at their inner beings. And evil desires shall painfully burn in them for all eternity. Yet all those spirits want and need to spend their eternity in hell, and will never change their minds about this. All will flee in total terror from the unrelenting light of Jesus Christ on that final judgment day. And not even one will be willing to repent out of their beloved darkness, into the light of truth, because their lies and delusions define their entire beings. So, after their earthly bodies die (and all earthly bodies shall surely die), their spirits will be sent to sleep in a semi-conscious state within the skies of heaven, until their final judgment. Then, when a trumpet sounds to begin that last day of life outside their eternal spiritual homes, their spirits will wake to see their spiritual bodies being dragged toward the radiant gates of heaven. After being cast upon the spiritual grounds surrounding that gate, all these non-elect shall turn away from the gleaming throne of God there, where He sits incarnate, in His own spiritual body among us. Then, in terror, all those incomplete non-elect spirits shall see bright angels walking toward them and stampede into the black gates of hell, shoving and pushing one another to get into hell first. For their sakes, God will command His angels to open those gates and herd them through.
Page 18
Thus, on that final judgment day, God will grant the non-elect fallen angels and their human children all of their greatest desires, the gift of a home where they can forever cling to their beloved darkness of an infinite variety of self-esteeming lies and delusions. Yet this great mercy of God will also be their just punishment for all the harm and death they caused on earth, both through ruthless deeds and through their apathy towards the needs of others. All injustice they caused on earth will fall into that empty, dark, bottomless pit together with them, and continue to fall deeper into it for all eternity.
“So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.... So then, [God] has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires. [ That is, when God has mercy on an elect sinner’s spirit, God softens that one’s heart, until the elect spirit begins to hear, love and heed Him. Then that elect one repents into His truths. But God hands non-elect human spirits over to Satan, who deceives and hardens the thoughts of their spirits, by feeding them delusions. Yet, since Satan can only do so if God allows it, it is God Himself who hardens them.] You will say then to me, ‘Why does He still find fault? For who withstands His will?’ But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask Him who formed it, ‘Why did You make me like this?’ Or hasn’t the Potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor? [Thus, God created both the elect and the non-elect. But God’s own hands fashioned elect human spirits, while He merely granted Satan permission to create the non-elect. Still, if the King grants a subject ruler permission to do anything, the King is responsible for it and did it Himself.]
What if God, willing to show His wrath, and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath made for destruction, and that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory, us, whom He also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?” (Rom. 9:16,18-24, WEB).
Although Satan’s loveless children do much evil, and never willingly do good works through right motives and intentions of the heart, they are useful to God. Both the demons that God cast down on earth in limiting “chains” and their non-elect human children fulfill God’s purpose for His elect children, while His elect dwell in this temporary womb for their spirits, on this earth. For the above Scripture tells us that God wanted to “show His wrath” (ἐνδείξασθαι τὴν ὀργὴν, “fully demonstrate
[His] strong emotions of displeasure”) through the non-elect. God used them to manifest His great abhorrence of all that is not true and not loving, all that is false and evil. Then God also allowed this evil on earth “to make His power known.” And to whom does God make His power known? It is not to the heavenly angels, who all know His power very well. Rather, God makes His power known to His elect children on earth. He patiently endures wicked spirits dwelling on earth, so He might raise up His elect children to nullify the lies and evil of the non-elect, as His power works through them.
To His elect, He demonstrates His power to exert control over all that is on the earth. For He is able to work eternal salvation in His elect children, while they live on earth, despite the presence of evil.
No matter how evil mankind becomes, there have always been elect who learned to value truth and God’s kind of just love. With much opposition, our Father continues to teach and train every elect spirit to love in a just, pure way, built on a foundation of His truth, even as deceptions, suffering and death surrounds them. God’s demonstration of power to help them win over all this opposition then builds faith in His elect children, a trust in His truth, in His other elect children and in God Himself.
God created the material universe as a place where both good and evil coexist, side by side, that is, until the last season of earth’s existence, when Jesus shall return, cast all demonic spirits and their human children into hell. Jesus, our God Himself, will rule the earth with true, freeing justice for a thousand years. Now, of course, God must always and entirely keep evil separated from good within His eternal spiritual realm, and never allow the incomplete, unloving ones deceive, exploit, harm or even touch the completed loving ones. In heaven, only good can exist, and God’s light drives out all Page 19
evil into the spiritual realm of hell. Conversely, in hell, only evil can exist, and an impenetrable barrier separates it from heaven, since anyone or anything good would shine the light of God’s truth and reality so brightly that all citizens of hell would immediately writhe in pain. So the gates of hell and the gates of heaven are spiritually “locked,” by God’s placement of desires in the two kinds of spirits. For no elect spirits ever want to enter hell and no non-elect spirits ever want to escape from hell into heaven. The wills of the spirits in each place forbid them from ever leaving. An impassible gulf, consisting of the powerful spiritual desires of the citizens in each spiritual place, will always prevent the citizens in each spiritual place from ever entering the other spiritual place. Consequently, since God wanted to temporarily perform a certain kind of work in the spirits of His children, as well as in the elect spirits of other living creatures on earth, and that work involved a very brief exposure to lies and sins, then God had to create a temporary place outside His spiritual realm to do this work.
So all the earth, and all who are upon it, both the good and evil human spirits existing in bodies of flesh, serve God’s purpose, “that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of mercy.”
In other words, God created the earth to be a training ground for the infantile spirits of His elect human children and other elect spirits. Above all, God created a place where He might teach His elect human spirits, made in His image, to know Him and His ways better, where “He might make known the riches of His glory” to the minds of their spirits. Although God temporarily allows evil to exist in close proximity to the eternal spirits and temporary flesh of His children, even in a way that often harms or even kills their flesh, that temporary presence of evil works a far greater eternal good for these eternal elect spirits. For those elect spirits learn to discern between good and evil far better by actually experiencing the difference. And as they do, those elect spirits also learn to appreciate their heavenly Father and His wise, just, loving inner nature in a far more solid and insightful way than they ever could if they had never been exposed to evil. Especially the elect human children of God begin to more greatly abhor the infinite deviations from God’s truths and God’s just, loving ways, all the invented delusions of Satan and his children, after seeing all the harm caused by them.
“We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose” (Rom. 8:26, WEB). And we also know that a life on earth for 80 or 100
years, even a thousand years, is a very short time for an eternal spirit, a mere moment of a spirit’s existence. So, while on earth, God allows demons and their children to act as a catalyst that shall ultimately cause a very good end result, one that is worth the cost to both God and His children. God lets the children of the devil pursue their desire to become gods, to gain the highest rank each one can possibly achieve in their delusional hierarchies of human gods. And, to fulfill this empty and vain ambition, those non-elect will tell any lie and commit any sin. However, all their evil indirectly serves God’s purpose to teach and train elect spirits. For God is constantly teaching elect spirits how to trust and place their confidence in His truths and power. God teaches them His ways and how to wisely apply those truths, in ways that His own power will make effective, to nullify lies and sins, then construct good, just, humble, loving facsimiles of heaven on the ruins of those torn-down evils.
Then, when those elect spirits go home to heaven, the examples of failures on earth will serve as an eternal reminder of how God’s kind of pure, just love, built on a foundation of uncorrupted truth, is critical and needs to be guarded in their hearts. God created demons with a flaw, with a lack of love that leads them all into pride and sin, so they each desire to be one’s own self-serving god. Then Satan created his earthly children in his image. So God indirectly created evil, and cast it down upon the earth for a time, until the judgment day. But all this temporary evil, allowed on earth by God, is an instrument used by Him to teach and train His elect children to dearly love ways of His just love.
Page 20
None can deny that experiencing the noxious fruits of evil will always cause infantile elect spirits to more highly value God and God’s ways. The more the elect see evil, the more they love and cherish the words and ways of their heavenly Father. God, who is a Spirit, teaches elect human spirits the truth, so they can build love upon it. Then they compare this truth to the lies which work evil in totally loveless and even ruthless ways. And this comparison, through their experiences in life, will invariably make elect spirits love God and His truths far more than they ever would if they had never seen and suffered the lies, delusions and ungodly works of demons and their children. Then, after life on earth, the elect will even more clearly discern the contrast between good and evil, between just love and loveless injustice, between God and Satan. And the more the elect definitively comprehend this contrast, the more greatly they will value and appreciate their heavenly Father, as well as all His loving, wise, just, honest words and ways. And this mutual love for God and His ways will cement those elect spirits together in a bond of unbreakable love. So, by temporarily allowing lies and sins in the lives of the elect, only for a moment on earth, all will love one another more through their love shared for their heavenly Father and His truths. Although the lies and sins of non-elect spirits surely do harm the flesh of elect spirits on earth, and all the elect themselves also cause harm through their own lies and sins, our Father works a fear and loathing of lies and sins in the hearts of His elect by exposing them to all this. Then God leads the elect spirits into repentance, into the truth, away from lies and sins. After this repentance, God forgives those elect spirits, then further trains them to more effectively apply His truths. So the elect begin to war against evil, to limit or eliminate evil, and press on towards the goals of pure, just love. This process causes us them love Him more each day.
Even the lies and sins committed by the flesh of the elect, due to the ignorance and weakness of their infantile spirits, works for their good in the very end. Our own lies and sins will cause the Spirit of God to rebuke our elect human spirits. And His rebukes are words of truth that cut through lies, which reveal how unloving we have been. So this then causes godly sorrow in our elect spirits, since our elect spirits want love, and feel loss when we lack love. Then the minds of our spirits accept and repent to the truths that God’s Spirit speaks to us. After we do this, we find that God is perfectly willing to forgive us. Not only that but, because our holy God is able to pay for and redeem all that we destroyed through all our lies and sins, He is also able to draw near to us again, embrace us, and completely restore His relationship with us. Consequently, although our own lies and sins are deadly painful, those experiences transform into zeal for our God and all His ways. For, when He causes our repentance into truth, we love that truth more dearly. And He is that truth. So we love Him far more as well. And the more that a group of elect mutually share their love of our heavenly Father and His ways, the more they love on another. However, our own lies and sins never directly work this love.
On the contrary, it is our heavenly Father’s forgiveness, after our spirits repent away from them in painful grief, after our spirits turn to His truths, which works this love. In other words, God’s works of forgiveness builds up a spirit’s love, never sin itself. “But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little” (Luke 7:47, WEB). For unrepentant unforgiven spirits have learned nothing from God.
This learning to love God and His creations, through repentance and God’s forgiveness, is the saving work of our Father through Jesus, who is God in a human body. The Holy Spirit of Jesus carefully educates and trains the thinking of our spirits, even as He dwells inside us. The one God relates to the elect spirits of human beings, angels, animals and plants as three unique Persons, in order to more effectively teach each spirit. God speaks to every elect spirit as that one’s Father, who bears the ultimate responsibility for each one’s eternal welfare, education and training, and therefore carries authority over all, and uses His authority for the good of all. Then God chose to walk among the human elect as our Brother, Teacher and Judge, so we might always find an empathic source of all Page 21
we need to know for our decisions, both here on earth and forever in the lands of heaven. Last but not least, our God comes to each of us as the Holy Spirit who dwells inside our hearts, right beside our human spirits, to individually counsel each of us, regarding literally all matters of life and faith.
Jesus rose from the dead to become the Teacher of repentant and forgiven elect souls, so all of their infantile spirits could learn from Him and become more mature and loving each day, in a wise, just and God-like way. Jesus rose from the dead so we might be more effective in our spiritual warfare against evil, so we might dissolve lies in the light of His truth, tear down the powers of evil, build up His kingdom of justice with mercy, and grow a true, solid kind of love in our spirits. And He does all this through the adversity we face from evil, which He allows for a time. Our struggles in temporary flesh on earth will permanently strengthen our spiritual bodies and limbs. Then our spiritual muscles will never atrophy and grow weak, for there is no entropy in the spiritual realm. Warring against evil provides a very rigorous exercising of our spirits, makes our spirits wiser and stronger, that is, if we attentively heed our Lord Jesus, our oldest and wisest Brother. With our our heavenly Father seated on heaven’s throne, and our saving Messiah walking with us every step of the way, after sending His Spirit into us, God grants our spirits the opportunity to become more like Hims, to bear even more eternal fruits than any of the Old Testament prophets ever did. This is why our God came in the human body of the Messiah, Jesus, why He lived among us, took us as His beloved disciples, died in the flesh to restore our relationship with Him, and rose from the dead to eternally teach our spirits, even by sending His Holy Spirit into our hearts. Now our spirits need to sit down at the feet of our Teacher, Jesus, to learn from His words and the examples He set, so we might walk according to the love He teaches to our elect spirits, and no longer pursue the whining demands of our minds of flesh.
The God who created the temporary material universe for this purpose, by allowing both good and evil spirits to exist side by side, is well-able to accomplish it. He can and will teach and train all the infantile spirits of His elect children to become loving, wise and just. Within the presence of evil, elect spirits in flesh on earth can learn to love God and His ways, even more than the elect angels do.
Because heavenly angels were never as infantile as human spirits, and never needed to rely on their God Jesus for their survival in fragile bodies of flesh on an evil-infested earth, nor ever received any opportunity to suffer together with Him in like bodies of flesh, and could never partake in His pains upon His cross, nor share in His hard earthly labours by His side, and could not ever even fail in all their striving to overcome evil with good, thus could not know the joys of forgiving atonement in their relationships with God, those angels in heaven have actually learned less than us, less than any of God’s elect children on earth. Painful fires have welded our bond with Jesus. We grow in His wisdom and strength each day, and will keep growing until we are far greater than heavenly angels.
Of course, literally all spirits dwelling in earthly bodies will shed their temporary flesh. Then all shall be granted new bodies made of an eternal and incorruptible spiritual substance (I Cor. 15:44).
What was made from the dust of the temporary earth will be replaced with a body made from the substances from the everlasting spiritual space-time continuum. All plants, animals and human beings, both the elect and non-elect, will be granted new bodies fit for the spiritual realm. Then all these new bodies will more adeptly express the thoughts and desires from the minds of their spirits.
Each elect spirit will be able to express its love perfectly. On earth, we are “soulish,” since the mind of our flesh resist the thoughts and desires rising in the minds of our spirits. These two minds in each of the elect are always arguing with one another in the chamber of the soul, causing us to falter and sin, forcing our spirits to recover in repentance. But our new spiritual bodies will never resist the thoughts and desires of our spirits. For the minds of our new spiritual bodies will be nothing like our minds of flesh. Also, in the end, after all appointed spirits have completed their temporary earthly Page 22
lives, God will destroy the earth and the entire material universe. God will withdraw His power that maintains all material existence, causing all to vaporize, to “burn” into nothing. Then the temporary purpose of Satan and his children will be fulfilled. So all those spirits will be sent to the home God made for them. The two basic kinds of spirits will be separated forever. Spirits born to love light shall live in God’s eternal homeland. But unholy spirits will be cast into their home, inescapable hell, secured by their own innate fear of God and their immutable hatred of His unrelenting light of truth.
Therefore, before anyone judges God to be unjust, let them first study the reasons that God does all that He does. They say God is unjust because He has predestined Satan, together with all the other fallen angels and all his children, to eternity in hell. But this judgment is entirely based on their own completely irrational assumptions, namely that all human beings are gods who all bear the power to create and recreate themselves through their own “free wills.” Then they all claim to be rational for making this assumption, even though all true science, all empirical observations interpreted through true logic indicate that all is predestined, even to the point of being beyond any shadow of a doubt.
Then many who claim to be Jews or Christians also teach this same pagan fiction of Platonic “free will,” even though God’s Word consistently and harmoniously teaches predestination, and not even one word of the Scriptures supports the doctrine of “free will.” If anyone wants to judge God, then that one had better first find out what God has actually said, and judge Him based on His own real and intended meanings of His words and deeds, not upon biased interpretations of His words and deeds, nor upon what liars say that God said. First one needs to know all the biblical truths above, and everything else God actually said in His Book. Until one is able to logically assess the actual teachings of God’s Word, according to His own intended, consistent and harmonious interpretation of His own words, one cannot make a right judgment. Yet, after one begins to see the truths revealed in God’s Word, one must not only believes that hell is a just reward for demons and Satan’s human children, but that God is actually being extremely merciful to those non-elect spirits by sentencing them to dwell in hell forever. For hell is indeed their eternal home, the only place they want to be.
Clearly, only the spirits of God’s elect children are capable of learning to love, in a way that is built on a foundation of truth. And heaven is definitely full to overflowing with the light of truth, which gives each the ability to build up infinite love. And all the awakened spirits of the elect know this because all soon become able to open the eyes of their spirits and “see” that spiritual realm of heaven firsthand, albeit dimly. So there are enough eyewitnesses in every generation who can testify that God will fulfill the desire and the potential ability of each elect spirit to love. There are many who know, through their spirits own observations, that God intends to send literally all elect spirits to heaven, without leaving even one behind. For those wakened elect spirits have been with God, and God’s Holy Spirit dwells with their human spirits in their hearts. And this God, the Creator of all physical and spiritual existence, this God who cannot lie, has told them this. But all the human spirits born of Satan are incapable of learning to love in a just, pure, God-like way. And all hate the light of truth. Therefore, all those non-elect spirits would despise heaven and prefer to live in hell’s darkness.
Because God-like love always rejoices in the truth, and cannot help but radiate the light of truth from within, then the real, pure, just, God-like love will always be incapable of existing apart from truth.
Then God’s kind of love will shine the light of truth infinitely stronger and more fully than the love of our infantile elect human spirits. God’s love is not harsh, but it is often difficult for us, as weak little spirits in flesh to cope with and bear, due to its blinding, uncompromising, incomprehensible brightness. God’s love often questions, reproves and sometimes angrily rebukes little lies we tell ourselves and others, because not even the slightest darkness can be tolerated by His holy love. But humans use all kinds of lies to comfort themselves about their own inadequacies, to justify their own Page 23
selfishness, greed and sins against others and so on. Thus, since humans tolerate so many lies, in the name of “civility” and “tradition,” they think God is harsh for not doing the same. But God is not being mean or ruthless at all. Rather, God is simply being far more pure, honest, just and loving than we could ever be on earth, although we too will be like Him in heaven, and will easily bear God’s truth in His love. And this truth in the love emanating from God is the light all elect human spirits fervently seek. But the most precious possessions of Satan’s children are the loveless worlds they create in their own minds through the lies they tell themselves, constructed from the delusions they carefully craft within the minds of their spirits. And, since the light of God-like love burns away those lies and delusions, all spirits that cherish and cling to lies and delusions desire a home where no light exists, where their beloved fake world views can be maintained. All want hell. Only God’s elect children want go to heaven. Thus, God will separate both kinds of human spirits after death.
Eventually, God will withdraw His spiritual power from the temporary material universe, all that forms energy in space-time. So the physical realm will end and a very long judgment day will begin.
This judgment is exclusively for human spirits, since all demonic spirits will have already been cast into hell, and all spirits of plants and animals will go directly to heaven, with new bodies made of a spiritual substance. None of the spirits of plants and animals will be judged. For God’s Word tells us that those spirits are like the spirits of elect angels, and simply do whatever they were created to do, without discerning between good and evil. Now the first event on that day will see the elect angels herding all non-elect humans into hell, which will not take long. After this, the Scriptures say that our God Jesus will complete the teaching and training of the Father’s elect children from earth, to prepare them for life in heaven. For literally all elect human spirits were made for heaven and will go to heaven after the death of their earthly flesh and after the judgment day. However, all the spirits of the human elect are infantile, and all will need to be prepared before they enter into their Father’s homeland. Meanwhile, the non-elect do not need to further prepare their own delusions before they enter their father’s homeland of hell. So the non-elect can flee into hell within the first moments of the judgment day, while the elect must remain to be more thoroughly judged, for their completion and perfection. If we interpret Scriptures with other Scriptures, this is what the judgment day entails.
There are so many false doctrines taught about God’s judgments, especially on that last judgment day, since so many assume God is a ruthless, harsh, humanistic kind of Judge who only tallies good and bad merit points, then exacts an unjust eternal vengeance on all who fail to meet His personal standards. But we must understand where theses false doctrines originate. If we examine those false doctrines carefully, we soon discover that the churches who teach them have created a false god in the image of pagan kings. More specifically, those false churches worship a fake vengeful god made in the image of psychopathic humanistic kings, and Roman kings in particular. But God judges all in the just ways of His Law, where all are granted an opportunity to repent into the truth. God does not ever judge according to humanistic ways and laws. Now, although the non-elect do not possess any ability to repent, all elect do. In fact, literally all the elect inherently long to repent into the truth and learn to love like God loves. Thus, on that judgment day, God will not even thinks about punishing the errors and sins of the elect. Rather, our God Jesus will correct, complete and perfect all the elect.
And, when I say Jesus will purify and prepare all the elect for heaven, the Bible tells us that He will do this for literally all the elect who ever existed upon the face of the earth. Thus, Jesus will do this for the infants who never had a chance to learn about Him before they died, even the infants who perished before they could leave the wombs of their mothers. For those elect spirits are equally precious to their heavenly Father and their Brother Jesus. Jesus will also do this for the elect who were taken captive by the deceits of false churches and pagan, even the elect who had never heard Page 24
the name of God while they lived upon this earth, nor any words from the Bible. Literally all the elect will be thoroughly taught and trained by Jesus, so they can all repent from all their errors and sins, into the trust of God and His words. For God created all elect human spirits from the very substance of His Spirit. All elect human spirits were “breathed” from the Creator’s Spirit, made in His own image. So literally all possess an innate, inherent desire for the just love found in God.
Not one elect human spirit was simply created by God’s power. All other good and loving spirits, all the elect angels of heaven as well as all the spirits of animals and plants on earth, were made by the works of God’s hands, by His power. And all these other spirits simply do whatever each was created to do, or what God-ordained circumstances cause them to do. Yes, all spirits have a will, both human and non-human spirits. But human beings are born with an infantile will, not an “adult” will. Only the other creations have an “adult” will, one which can learn, but is already as “mature” and “strong”
as it ever will be, even from the moment of its creation. Yet infantile human spirits need to grow into maturity and strength, over time. And some grow in good while others grow in evil. And all these human spiritual babes were created with specific “genetic” propensities in their spirits, inherent qualities which must be further shaped by their fathers, by either God or Satan. And their fathers do this through the circumstances, which cause and preordain their growth. However, only God has a truly “free will,” a will that His own uncreated mind defined and shaped Himself, based on His own omniscient knowledge and omnipotent power. None but God caused Himself to be holy, pure in all just love and truth. Not one other spirit ever created its own will and its own essence. No other spirit made its own core attributes and shaped its own eternal destiny. But the Father of the elect will make them more like Him, more like the only Being who ever possessed a truly free will, on the last day.
Because there is only one Being with a truly free will, one who created all existence to become all that He predestined it to become, then we must logically conclude that God alone is the source of all love and truth. God’s essence and core nature define all truths and works all the love built upon all those realities and just principles of His own created truths. Then all the elect possess this same kind of will, inherited from God, a will able to grow infinitely stronger and wiser within them, into the image of God’s will. But God created Satan and all the demons through His power alone, just as He created the spirits of all plants and animals. The only difference difference between the destructive non-elect spirits and the valuable elect spirits is that God made Satan and the demons loveless, while the power of God made all other spirits able to love. Yes, some elect plant and animal spirits love without much knowledge of the truth, with very little understanding and wisdom. Nevertheless, they love. Only demonic spirits entirely lack the attribute of God-like love, while even the spirits of plants and pond scum possess and express genuine love. Still, we can also say that God created those loveless non-elect spirits for a useful purpose, albeit for a very different and temporary destiny, not for eternal life with Him in heaven, but for an eternity in their own beloved darkness. The loveless spirits are basically the opposite of God’s Spirit, because they totally lack love. Without love, they care nothing for truths, justice or anything else associated with the real Creator God. However, that stark difference between the non-elect spirits and the Creator Spirit certainly does help His infantile elect children learn to clearly distinguish between all that is of God and all that is not of God. Yes, the non-elect love to transfer blame to God for all they have done. The non-elect even say, “God is unjust and unloving because He allows wars and famines,” although it was those non-elect who had directly caused those evils, and it was the elect who allowed them to occur by turning away from God’s ways and from God Himself. Nevertheless, when truth is found, the non-elect spirits on the earth clearly demonstrate the differences between the words, ways and attributes of God and all that Page 25
deviates from His words, ways and attributes. The non-elect illustrate the effects of lacking God-like love, even in every shade and degree, from a slightly tainted love to a totally psychopathic cruelty.
As we saw in the words of Jesus, God allowed Satan to create some non-elect human spirits, made in his image for this purpose—to demonstrated differences between truth and lies, between true love and false love. But God let this happen on His temporary earth so it might work for the good of His elect children, in order to teach and train them, so the elect could learn and apply His loving, wise and just ways on earth and forever after in their home of heaven. Therefore, this implies that there is a great difference between the spirits of God’s elect human children and all the other spirits who dwell with them on earth and in heaven. But there is a far greater difference between elect human spirits born of God and non-elect human spirits born of Satan. This difference is so great that there cannot possibly ever be an equally reciprocal relationship between elect and non-elect human spirits, although their bodies of flesh are exactly the same. For elect spirits can develop relationships with God and one another, built on pure truth, until it grows into genuine love. The elect can even grow genuine love for pet animals and all kinds of other spirits. Yet the non-elect cannot. For the non-elect can only “value” other living entities with spirits, even in the same way they “value” inanimate things. The non-elect may call this “valuing” a kind of “love,” but it is not. And this fake “love can transform into pure hatred within a moment, as soon as they discover that the object of their fake
“love” is not valuable to them. In fact, the non-elect can “love” their pets far more than human beings because their pets serve and consistently behave in ways that are valuable to them. Thus, if an elect child of God loves a non-elect soul, that love will only be abused by the non-elect one, because the non-elect are only capable of a very conditional kind of love that always exploits valuable others.
Then we also should realize that Satan is a very intelligent, cunning, powerful spirit who can easily manipulate his children in any way he desires, but is always limited by God, always wearing chains.
Satan was originally an angel (messenger) of God in heaven. But Satan and a third of the angels sinned, because God created them without the attribute of love. So they were predestined to sin, since no love meant no sense of justice in them. After they sinned, all those demons were judged, then cast out of heaven, down to the earth, where all now wait in spiritual chains, as in a holding cell, until all shall be cast into the eternal prison of hell just before the judgment day (e.g., see John 12:9; 20:10). For God’s Word states: Εἰ γὰρ ὁ θεὸς ἀγγέλων ἁμαρτησάντων οὐκ ἐφείσατο, ἀλλὰ σειραῖς
ζόφου ταρταρώσας παρέδωκεν εἰς κρίσιν τηρουμένους (II Pet. 2:4, SBLGNT). If we do not interpret the aorist participle form of ταρταρόω in the way that pagan writings used it, but interpret this verb in same way that its cognates were used by Jewish scholars when they wrote the Septuagint (Job 40:15; 41:23), since this is also how the Jewish apostle Peter would have used this word, this verse means: “For, if God did not grant leniency for angels who sinned but, in chains of darkness, cast
[them] down to a lower place, guarding [them] for a sentence [to eternal imprisonment in hell] ...”
Thus, these sinning angels, now called demons, were cast down to a lower place. That is, as we see in the Scriptures, they were all cast down to the earth. After God judged them, they were not cast into hell. For the Scriptures say that Satan himself was in the Garden of Eden, tempting Adam and Eve, not long after God created the temporary material universe. Also, the Bible clearly states that they will not be cast into hell until the day Jesus returns to the earth, which is before the judgment day (Rev. 20:1-3,7-10). Yet they do remain “in chains of darkness.” Satan and all the other fallen angels are being limited by the almighty God who created them. God limits the number of lies they may utter, and the effectiveness of those lies. When His elect turn away from Him, and follow the same lies and delusions that demons feed to the non-elect, God may even hand them over to those demons for a time, and allow the non-elect to engage in all kinds of exploitative deeds, even wars Page 26
and injustice which destroys the lives of millions or billions. Nevertheless, all those fallen angels are being guarded in this lower place, here on earth. And this guarding not only prevents them from escaping this temporary material existence, but also stop those demons from causing too much evil.
The binding of Satan and the fallen angels (demons) upon the earth, with God and His elect angels securely and perpetually guarding them, limits all they can say and do. Demons have no freedom nor power to say or do whatever they want on earth. All demons must ask for God’s permission before any can say or do anything. Yet, make no mistake, God will allow those demonic spirits, who are far more powerful than any elect or non-elect spirits, to say and do evil. God will even let demons place their own human offspring in positions of great power on earth. And, yes, God will even let demons attack the flesh of His elect, especially when His elect are living only for their flesh, but care little or nothing for God, justice, truth, wisdom, love and their eternal spirits. Still, when we see how even the most moderately faithful elect have overcome extremely powerful opposition through God’s power, we must conclude that God only allows the demonic spirits to exert influence for teaching and training purposes. God gives the fallen angels power so His elect will turn back to Him and His just, loving ways. Still, the Bible implies that Satan’s mind and power is far greater than the power of any elect spirit, even greater than most other spiritual beings (e.g., Is. 14:12-14; Ezek. 28:12-19).
From the Scriptures, we get the impression that even a common angel bears enough power to utterly destroy the entire earth, if God ever allowed an angel to do this. Therefore, no infantile human spirit, while dwelling in a body of flesh, could ever overpower Satan or any other fallen angel—definitely not through one’s own physical power and will, such as through the emotional rantings of the flesh done by television preachers. While on earth, all the elect utterly depend on the power of Jesus, our God. Only in the name of Jesus (that is, by His will, command, authority and power), could any elect soul overcome the delusions, lies, deeds and influencing power of Satan or any of his demons.
Let me repeat, God intentionally created Satan and the other fallen angels with a total lack of real love. Then the Scriptures often indicate how the spirits of all those fallen angels were merely capable of conditionally valuing others who served their own selfish desires and purposes. This superficial sense of “valuing” others has always been the only kind of “love” those demons can possess. And, of course, those demonic spirits can definitely hate too. In fact, this is their more common attribute. If we say “God is love,” because love is God’s principal core attribute, then we must say, “Demons are hate,” since hate is their principal core attribute. But even God hates at times. Nevertheless, God’s kind of hate is nothing like the hatred of demons. For God hates unloving, unjust words and deeds, then seeks to correct them, if possible. God first strives to get those who commit those sins to repent into the truth, to start speaking and doing what is loving and just. Only if repentance is impossible, will God justly destroy the evil perpetrators. So we can clearly see how the hatred in demons is the opposite. For the fallen angels only hate those who hinder or stop their unloving, unjust words and deeds. Then a demon’s first reaction is to murder the innocent souls who cause the disruption of his evil, without even a thought of allowing the offender to repent into his lies and wickedness. Only if the one who offended that demon is valuable to it in some way, will he let that offender prove his worth by lying and doing evil together with that demon. And the children of Satan are the same.
Most of the non-elect can be characterized by their unholy and self-centred kind of unwarranted, unjust hatred, and none possess any of the purer kind of hatred for evil. None have a vexing and God-like hatred for unjust, loveless words and deeds, which is needed to protect loved ones. And none of the non-elect ever begin to develop any God-like, pure, just, wise kind of love at all. Since real love is built upon truth, and non-elect spirits are never truly honest with themselves or anyone else, nor are any of them wisely just and compassionate in any effective way, none of the non-elect Page 27
are ever capable of truly loving anyone or anything. None of the non-elect ever want to serve the interests of others at the expense of their own interests. Satan and his brood serve only themselves.
Therefore, Satan, with all the human children he created in his likeness, together with the fallen angels who follow him, can only ever form a very fragmented, negative kind of kingdom, where each strives against the other for selfish gain. The devil’s entire kingdom is only held together by the fear that each greater power is able to cause in a lesser power. Satan’s kingdoms are always very steep hierarchies, where each strives to exploit all the victims one can, all who possess a little less power and status in the hierarchy. Since Satan is the most powerful and has the highest status, he is able to force all others to serve him and obey his will. Then the next level of demons in his hierarchy can force their wills upon weaker ones lower down in the hierarchy. And each can bribe, cajole, blackmail and manipulate others above and below one in the hierarchy. But Satan’s kingdom can never create anything but this kind of very steep hierarchical system, where each unwillingly obeys a more powerful one with higher status in the hierarchy, and where status earns one the right to ruthless oppress others. For Satan’s kingdom is incapable of functioning through mutual trust, where all serve each other through a trusting love. Likewise, it is also impossible for the elect to establish a biblical kind of loving system as long as Satan’s human children are among them. However, the elect who serve Jesus are able to establish God’s kind of kingdom, functioning through a loving trust between humble equals, to a certain extent, with checks and balances that suppress evil within it.
Of course, all brains and bodies of temporary flesh are the same in the elect and non-elect. The brains and bodies of non-elect spirits born of Satan will seek only what that flesh needs and wants for itself. But the earthly brain and body of flesh belonging to elect spirits will do exactly the same.
For the flesh is amoral. The flesh cannot ever be moral. For all morality is spiritual. All justice must be built upon truths applied through wise love from spirits. And minds of flesh, the brain and body of flesh, is temporary and material, not spiritual at all. Nonetheless, although a mind of flesh is only able to think about its own needs and desires, as a temporary processor used to operate a temporary vessel, that mind of flesh can be governed by the person’s human spirit. A mind of flesh can be overcome by the mind of a spirit, since God granted the stewardship of the brain and body of flesh to the spirit dwelling in the human “heart” (i.e., where the physical heart represents the non-material chamber where the spirit actually dwells). Then, as mentioned, each human being also has a chamber of the soul, another non-material place where the human spirit can meet with the mind of flesh, and can command the flesh to do its bidding. Thus, flesh is not ultimately culpable for any of its loveless and often ruthless transgressions against the just and truly loving ways of God. Only a human spirit is ultimately responsible for sins committed through one’s body of flesh; either by being too weak and infantile to exert adequate managerial control, or by being a criminally negligent governor of the flesh, or by being a non-elect spirit who intentionally causes the flesh to speak lies and commit sins.
Spirits born of Satan often condone and even command sins of the flesh. Non-elect humans use their bodies of flesh solely to gratify their spiritual desires, and their spiritual desires are often to gratify their lusts and desires of the flesh, at any cost to their victims. In essence, this is actually a desire to be the gods of their own lives. So, on the judgment day, non-elect spirits will be held accountable for their deliberate sins. At the same time, however, elect spirits also intentionally condone or command some of their sins of the flesh too. But the difference is that elect spirits eventually mature and learn truths, grow wiser and able to see the harm that their lies and sins have caused. Then the elect spirits develop godly sorrow, in a way that completely overtakes their spirits. And this never occurs within non-elect spirits. And this inner sorrow eventually works for the complete forgiveness of lies and sins that the elect commit. For this spiritual sorrow leads to repentance away from the sin, into God’s Page 28
truth. And, when God sees this in their spirits, He forgives them and restores His relationship with them. So this entire process of godly sorrow, repentance, forgiveness and a restored relationship with God is entirely a spiritual development. It has absolutely nothing to do with the flesh, since the flesh is incapable of either true love or true hatred of evil, so the flesh cannot begin to have godly sorrow, although the spirit can affect emotions in the brain of flesh and make the flesh depressed. Only an elect spirit can actually love or hate in a God-like way, and complete this process, which is biblical salvation. So, as the manager of the flesh, a human spirit is ultimately accountable for all sins of the flesh. And every elect spirit sins through the flesh every day. But every spirit is also accountable for its own salvation too. But non-elect spirits have no ability to develop godly sorrow which begins this process of salvation, since none are able to love. Thus, every elect spirit also will be judged by God on that final judgment day in heaven. No human spirit will escape judgment on that day. But only the elect will be caused to fulfill the entire process of salvation on that day, beginning with the preaching of truth and the exposure of all one’s lies and sins, in a way that leads to a godly sorrow of the spirit.
According to God’s Law, His judgments will only count a sin against anyone if that sin has both an evil motive and a malicious intent, of a kind which can only originate from a spirit, through either a spirit’s ignorance, negligent apathy or active rebellion against Him. And each sin has a degree of evil motive and intent, where some are less than others and few are considered to be worthy of the maximum penalty listed in His Law. Even then, God is willing to forgive the most intentional of sins if a spirit turns away from its evil motives and malicious intentions, if a spirit learns and repents into the truth, then begins to act through love with just motives and helpful intentions. And this is where elect human spirits possess a great advantage over demons and the non-elect human spirits born of Satan. Fore elect spirits are able to repent, because the Spirit of God is able to rebuke, teach and train elect spirits, to change the motives and intentions of their spirits, since God created all elect spirits with an inherent preference to build love on a foundation of truth. So literally all elect spirits will eventually repent into a knowledge of the truth, repent and learn to love, once all those spirits learn from the Spirit of Jesus to trust the concepts which He is constantly offering to the minds of their spirits. Jesus will thoroughly counsel every individual elect spirit on the judgment day, to complete and perfect each one’s education, so all the elect will indeed repent into literally all truth and learn to love in the way God loves. Through all the rigours of that day, at the gates of heaven, all elect human spirits will become wise in the ways of love, mature enough to do the holy works of their Father. All will learn to serve His heavenly creations through God-like love, in the same way God serves them.
Now we also need to realize that, whenever the mind of flesh is pleased or angry, it may result in thoughts and actions that superficially resemble spiritual love or hate. And this is because the spirit is expressing itself through the mind and body of flesh. But these emotions of the flesh are all very conditional, based upon circumstances and other externals. So, when the flesh is healthy, not under stress and not distracted, it is willing to be managed by the spirit. But, even so, we cannot say that the flesh has either genuine love or God-like hate. The flesh simply is not able to love or hate in any real way whatsoever. All true love and all godly hatred or zeal against lies and evil originates solely in the mind of the spirit. So I repeat, the mind of flesh is utterly incapable of motives and intentions that can be condemned by God as sins. And this is an important distinction to make in all judgments made by us, because we must always judge lies, sins and sinners in the same just way God does.
The fact that the flesh cannot sin with evil motives and intentions also means that literally all laws and morals, all just and loving principles, are strictly and entirely spiritual. All the laws and customs which are upheld by any family, society or nation are are totally incomprehensible to a mind of flesh, since all are based on spiritual concepts. And all truly just laws promote and defend the love of the Page 29
people for one another. Then all bad and illegitimate laws fail to do this, and are considered unjust.
No laws, not even the most minor laws like traffic laws, have much of anything to do with the flesh.
For traffic laws are to protect human lives and the property people need for daily life. Then, if we look at how two teenagers, with infantile and untaught spirits, and strong lusts of the flesh, might have sex, this is not a sin in the same degree as a rapist who feels like a god when he forces his own will upon a woman. Both break God’s seventh order laws against sexual immorality. But the youths sin lightly, while the rapist deserves God’s maximum penalty of death. Still, nothing truly good and loving exists in flesh, although nothing truly evil exists in flesh either. Only thoughts, words and actions that originate from the human spirit in a sinner’s heart are judged to be good or evil. “For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. The good man out of his good treasure brings out good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings out evil things” (Mat. 12:34b-35, WEB).
Therefore, if an elect spirit realizes the truth, that is, the ways of God’s kind of love, then opposes the selfish or wicked thoughts or actions of one’s own brain and body of flesh, when one’s spirit lost control over the management of one’s flesh, allowing one’s flesh to carry out its loveless desires, God will not always condemn that elect spirit for those sins committed by its flesh. If the elect spirit itself did not create the motives and intentions to commit that sin, and possibly even opposed the will of its flesh to commit that sin, and that sin subsequently caused grief and godly sorrow in the elect spirit, God may even count the elect spirit to be completely innocent the sin committed by one’s own flesh. Then that elect soul must seek God’s help to find a way to stop its flesh from ever committing that kind of sin again. God will even grants this kind of absolution or justification of the elect spirit if a mind of flesh is deceived into thinking a certain kind of sin is His will, and if the elect spirit is too ignorant and infantile to realize that is a lie. Likewise, if the flesh is coerced into committing a sin that the elect spirit hates, but the elect spirit is too weak to convince the flesh to endure the threats against it, God will not condemn that spirit. Rather God will heal the godly sorrow in that spirit, and will teach and train that spirit until that spirit bears fruits through love. Only if a spirit knows that something is a sin, but willingly commands, condones and rejoices in that sin committed by its flesh, with malicious motives and intentions, without concern for victims of the sin, in the way that the loveless non-elect spirits sin through their flesh, will God hold the sin against that spirit. And, since non-elect spirits are unable to repent, but love the darkness of their sins, they are never forgiven.
However, even if an elect spirit fully and willingly approves of a sin, then causes its flesh to commit that sin, that elect spirit always will eventually change its motives and intentions and repent. And God always allows a sinning spirit to repent into the truth, so the spirit may learn to act through Godlike love. But, to repent, a spirit must first learn genuine truth, since truth is the foundation of love. A sinning elect spirit must first realize how much harm one’s sin did to others, and how much that sin offended God. Then the sinning spirit must understand and desire the truth, and learn what it should have done instead. Sinning elect spirits must gain knowledge and wisdom, so they can exert power and control over their lives, and manage their own flesh better. So each sinning elect spirit must turn to the only truly effective Teacher of truth, to Jesus, and heed His often painful rebukes. For the pain of godly sorrow He causes will soon turn into a greatly pleasing and cherished treasure of the heart.
Still, the loveless flesh will always try to do what it naturally does. Flesh always gravitates towards selfish thoughts and deeds, and is easily manipulated by other flesh and spirits, even by demonic spirits. We must always remember this, that flesh tends to sin, but it also lacks any genuinely evil motives or malicious intentions, since only a spirit can express true good or evil. Since the flesh is incapable of those kinds of motives and intentions, an elect spirit will often need to tell itself this: Page 30
“For I don’t know what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do. But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the Law [of God] that it is good.
[That is, God’s Law is summed up by the two commands: (1) love God and (2) love those in the sphere of one’s life. These two summarizing commands are also essential to a right and just interpretation of literally all God’s laws and all the ways of every family, society and nation. Without the comprehension of these two commands, real justice is utterly unachievable. Yet literally every truly elect spirit eventually consents to this love of God and love of one’s neighbour, although with varying degrees of knowledge of the truth, and often without much understanding about how one’s actions might offend God or harm other souls. Many elect spirits remain very ignorant regarding God-like, just and wise love. Still, every elect spirit knows that its own careless, loveless, selfish body of flesh thinks, says or does what is blatantly unloving. So every elect spirit frequently becomes ashamed of what its flesh says or does, and hates those sins of its flesh.] So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me. For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing.
[Note that the apostle who penned this Scripture considered himself to be his spirit, not his flesh. When he said,
“it is no more I that” does sin, when his mind and body of flesh did sin, he meant that his mind of his spirit did not condone that sin. Therefore, the “I” refers to his spirit. Nevertheless, although no truly good thing exists in the flesh, no truly evil thing exists in it either, since all that is truly good or truly evil is spiritual] For desire is present with me [i.e., his spirit’s desire for just, loving good], but I don’t find it [i.e., his spirit does not find his flesh] doing that which is good. For the good which I desire [i.e., in his spirit], I don’t do
[i.e., the spirit’s desire is not done by the flesh]; but the evil which I don’t desire [i.e., in his spirit], that I practice [i.e., in the flesh]. But if what I don’t desire [i.e., in his spirit], that I do [i.e., by his flesh], it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me. [That is, since his true self is his spirit, not his brain and body of flesh, it is not his true self that sins, even though sin dwells in his flesh while his spirit opposes that sin.] I find then the Law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present. For I delight in God’s Law after the inward man [i.e., his spirit loves God’s ways], but I see a different law [or behaviour] in my members [i.e., in the physical brain and body], warring against the law of my mind [i.e., against the law in his true mind, in the mind of his spirit], and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members [That is, the ‘members,’ the various parts of the body, will often overpower and overcome the elect spirit, bind and silence one’s spirit.]” (Rom. 7:15-23, WEB).
The elect need to realize this fact, that an elect human being’s spirit was created to possess and ultimately govern its brain and body of flesh, although every elect spirit is originally created far too weak and infantile to ever do this. Thus, every elect spirit needs to submit to the effective teaching and training of Jesus’ Holy Spirit, until it is able to do so. And no other infantile human being can ever even begin to teach and train one’s spirit like the risen Lord Jesus can. For all humans can only teach and train others through the minds and mouths of their bodies of flesh. But the mind of flesh is only useful for ruling over bodily functions; to keep the heart beating and the lungs breathing, to eat and drink what is necessary for physical life, to digest and expel waste products, to do whatever it needs to survive and gain basic pleasures for its well-being. And the human spirit causes and allows all these necessary and basic works of the flesh for the flesh, and should also allow neutral pleasures for its flesh. But the effective functioning of an elect soul’s entire life, to serve family, community and the world, also will require judgments, justice, orderly interactions between souls, self-sacrifice to provide for the good of all, and many other spiritual acts of morality, compassion, mercy and trust.
All that is good, all that is worked through pure and just love, can only be worked by the minds of our spirits. All the most important and critical aspects of life are works of our spirits. At the same time, our spirits must do all these works through our very limiting bodies of flesh—and our flesh was made to be very limiting, because all infantile elect spirits also sin, and our sins must be limited by our weak and inept earthly bodies. Yet, whenever our flesh is denied any of its needs or pleasures, even the most harmful and stupid ones, our flesh often reacts in anger, sometimes violently. Even so, Page 31
an elect spirit frequently needs to deny its flesh. Through it love for others, an elect spirit must withhold many carnal desires from its flesh, even some bodily needs, in order to maintain just love in a family, community and nation. So a mind of flesh can never be trusted with matters of justice, since true justice is built on a foundation of the Creator’s spiritual truths. Flesh is extremely short-sighted, and often selfishly seeks things that cause harm to other souls or even to itself, so its desires often produce injustice. The mind of flesh thinks of itself, not of others, not even when it knows that it absolutely needs others for its own survival, or knows that its spirit needs fulfillment in love. Thus, we need to walk according to the thoughts of our spirits, not according to the thoughts of our flesh.
Yes, our mind of flesh can be trained to sometimes heed the mind of our spirit, and may think a little more wisely at times. But, even then, the mind of flesh often forgets what it has learned, or ignores it. And, before our flesh can learn any kind of real truths, our spirit must first learn those truths. For only our spirits are able to teach our bodies of flesh any kind of truth and wisdom, since all true wisdom is actually the spirit’s ability to effectively apply the just principles of love. Only the mind of one’s spirit is capable of learning this. Only after a spirit is taught and trained to apply principles of God-like love, can a spirit rightly manage one’s body of flesh, to ensure the body’s compliance in the spiritual matters of justice worked through God-like love. And the only one from whom a human spirit can obtain this truth and wisdom, this skill of effectively applying the knowledge of genuine truths through love, is God Himself. All true wisdom must be learned by our spirits and directly from the Holy Spirit of our God Jesus. And no human being can do this like God can. Every elect spirit must go to Jesus Himself, become very familiar with Him, learn about His core nature, then follow His good and loving examples in life. For His core nature is a wise, pure, just love. There is no other way to learn to live a just, wise and loving life on earth. A spirit can only learn to live in this way directly from Jesus. Then one’s spirit also needs His power to become able to manage one’s flesh.
Teaching and training our spirits to effectively express God’s kind of just and honest love is the New Covenant salvation that Jesus ratified and put into effect when He died and rose from the dead. It is the final, ultimate goal of all Christ’s words and actions on our behalf. This is the only true salvation offered by God. And His written laws in the Old Testament Scriptures, as well as all the examples of how He actually applied those laws, are fulfilled through this salvation. God’s own interpretation of His own Law provides a summary defining what is right, just, moral and good for our spirits. Our Teacher has a textbook, which He expects us to study and ponder. And those words are all entirely spiritual. Our spirits must interpret them according to spiritual motives and intentions alone, since those Laws serve only the purposes of God, who is a Spirit teaching the spirits of His elect children.
Though we read God’s textbook by using our eyes of flesh, those words must then be processed by our brains of flesh and passed on to the minds of our spirits within the chambers of our souls. Before anyone can benefit from the words of God in any real way, those words must enter the minds of our spirits, so the minds of our spirits can then ask Christ’s Holy Spirit for the right meaning of those words. And make no mistake, our flesh is definitely able to convey those words to our spirits, if our spirits command our flesh to do so when our spirits meet our flesh in our souls. Then Jesus can and will explain His written words, as well as the reasons for all His actions recorded in that textbook, in ways that greatly benefit our spirits. In fact, Jesus also helps our spirits examine and understand all that we see and experience throughout our lives on this earth, because Jesus is the God who created all existence, who wrote about all good and all evil in all that He created upon this earth. Through Jesus, we begin to know what can be truly called good, and how all that is good must be worked through His kind of God-like love. But nothing of the flesh is ever truly good, although nothing of the flesh is actually evil either, since flesh cannot truly love or hate. Only thoughts and commands Page 32
which originate from the spirit can ever be deemed to be either truly good or truly evil. Still, since a human spirit is child-like and ignorant as long as it dwells in flesh, and every spirit is subject to being overcome or “taken captive” by the flesh, much of the loss suffered on earth is not called sin.
Think about this. If all this is true, then no human spirit, especially no infantile human spirit dwelling in flesh, is ever able to become the head teacher, final judge or owner of any other human being, since none can replace our God Jesus who serves each individual in all those roles. And, because all the non-elect have loveless spirits bearing the core nature of Satan, not one of them will ever be even remotely capable of administering any kind of truth or justice. So not one of them will ever become qualified to serve as God’s assistant teacher or judge of anyone either. Only the true elect, and only the elect whom God has awakened and taught for an extended period of time, can serve Him as His assistants. Then, since all elect human spirits are infants who will only be able to complete God’s teaching and training on the judgment day, none among them is able to become a truly authoritative teacher and judge of other human beings. So the very most any elect human spirit can ever be, while in a body of flesh, is a disciple of Jesus. The most an elect soul can become is an equal brother or sister of all the other disciples of Jesus, but with a more mature spirit who assists Jesus with the teaching and training of his brothers and sisters, while always referring them to Jesus as their final authority in all matters of life and faith. All elect spirits must go directly to Jesus, as their only Lord.
Of course, some more mature and more knowledgeable disciples may assist the less mature and less knowledgeable disciples, just as some of the better students in a college or university may serve as faculty assistants of a teacher, to help other students in the teacher’s class. And a teacher may even ask some faculty assistants to mark some quizzes and tests, which is a type of judging. Likewise, Jesus also calls some of His mature elect disciples to make some judgments, but only regarding the matters of His more basic natural laws, never concerning the greater laws pertaining to anyone’s relationship with God, never judgments which lead to either heaven or hell. Rather, all these more complex laws regarding relationships with God are judged only by God Himself. Human judges are never allowed to condemn anyone in matters pertaining to a spirit’s conscience and beliefs, only in matters pertaining to common sins of the flesh, sins that can be seen by the flesh. For none of His disciples are qualified to exert any real power or authority in these most important, eternal matters.
Our Creator God, Jesus, is the only authoritative Teacher and the only final Judge of all who live upon His earth. Thus, every spirit must go to Him for the final authoritative judgments regarding all disputes, even unresolved minor matters of the flesh, but definitely for all eternal judgments. In the same way, any student in a class can challenge any faculty assistant’s teachings or judgments, by appealing to the classroom teacher for a final decision, so too can every human being appeal to God for His right teaching or correct judgment. For faculty assistant bear no final authority whatsoever, but must teach only what the classroom teacher tells them to teach, and make all their judgments according to the teacher’s criteria. Likewise, every elect spirit must heed their personal and willing Teacher, Jesus, first and foremost, above and beyond any faculty assistant, and go to that Teacher in all disputes. And Jesus is a Teacher who is always willing to grant time to teach and judge each one.
Naturally, the mind of an infantile human spirit cannot always fully control its brain and body of flesh. So the flesh often acts against the will of the human spirit, although the spirit has a far more powerful mind. Yes, an elect human spirit may stop its brain and body of flesh from doing some selfish acts, if that spirit is awake, alert and knows enough truth to want to stop its flesh from doing those sins. A human spirit may even sometimes command its brain and body of flesh to do some difficult and sacrificial deeds through just love, although the flesh definitely does not want to do those good and godly deeds. But human spirits are not always able or even willing to stop the flesh Page 33
from thinking or doing selfish, hurtful or even murderous sins. And some spirits even desire to do evil deeds. Some spirits rejoice in the loveless words and deeds of the flesh, and even command the flesh to risk its well being to do the kinds of evil that the flesh has no desire to do. A loveless, non-elect spirit may seek power and unjust gain far beyond what the flesh wants, and never concern itself about the will of God, nor the welfare of others. And this disregard for God and others is actually a hatred against God and others, since all that is not love is hatred. So that apathy is also called a sin.
Therefore, there are indeed two basic kinds of spirits; elect spirits with an inherent inner desire to find truth and love, as well as apathetic non-elect spirits who act upon ungodly hatred. Since both have self-seeking bodies of flesh, both look and act the same when their spirits are still infantile and ignorant. But, the more an elect spirit is taught truths and wisdom by the Holy Spirit of Jesus our God, the more that spirit becomes loving. On the other hand, the more a non-elect spirit is taught by Satan, the more it will ruthlessly lie and murder, because Satan was a liar and murderer from the beginning. So it is critical for elect spirits to clearly and rightly know the Father of their spirits, and their Teacher, their oldest Brother, Jesus. Elect spirits need to know Him personally and intimately, so they can be taught and trained to build up a wise, just love within themselves, to become good managers of their own flesh, and to powerfully defend against the destructive non-elect, as well as all the deceptions and attacks from other spiritual forces of evil. This is the most critical need in all the lives of all the elect, to have their spirits taught and trained by Jesus. Without this education of their spirits, all else will be lost, all things of the flesh and spirit. So this education is the chief aspect of salvation. Without this work of Jesus in our spirits, we can never enter His holy home of heaven.
When we realize that the most critical aspect of salvation is Christ’s personal teaching and training of our spirits, we also begin to judge others differently, in the way that God’s Word frequently and authoritatively affirms. That is, if we see a spirit’s God-like love often overruling the thoughts and actions of one’s body of flesh, and generally managing the course of one’s entire life in a just, wise and compassionate way, we can then be quite certain that such a person must be one of God’s elect children. On the other hand, if we see a spirit’s total lack of concern for anyone but oneself, and that one maintains a delusional world view where one worships oneself as the god of one’s own life, then causes one’s body of flesh to serve only that false god of self through loveless sins, we might assume that one is a child of Satan. But, since we cannot actually see other human spirits, we must always keep an open mind regarding both kinds. For the flesh can mask an elect spirit with a bad outward behaviours, and not let us see one’s true inner self. Likewise, the flesh can also mask a non-elect spirit with a good outward words and deeds to hide the spirit’s selfish, sinful motives and intentions.
Of course, Satan’s children often try to deceive others, regarding their true identity. Like Satan, they usually want to be outwardly perceived as “good people,” or even as “God’s servants,” as God’s own
“messengers of light” (II Cor. 11:14-15). Most avoid being unmasked, since it lessens their ability to exploit others undetected, and might cause them to be caught, then forced to pay for their crimes. So many of the non-elect also want to seen walking among the elect, so they can steal public good-will from the elect. Then those non-elect also look for opportunities to take the elect captive as slaves, to serve their whims, since the elect are very useful, since the elect instinctively serve others faithfully and well, for the good of others. There are great advantages to Satan and his children trying to look good and win the favour of the public, even though their spirits cannot comprehend even the most basic principles of genuine, God-like love. Almost all the most intelligent non-elect will use good outward appearances to enable them to abuse the vulnerabilities of others. Of course, all their very religious rhetoric and good deeds can never actually serve anyone in any truly just and effective way, since the non-elect do all for their own selfish ambitions. The falsely religious non-elect only ever Page 34
end up slandering God and tearing down God’s true earthly kingdom. And, no matter how biblical their words might be, they never intentionally provide any useful knowledge and wisdom for others.
And their spirits actually hate God and all His real servants, since the elders that are truly ordained and appointed by God always teach real truth that sets their brothers and sisters free from those deceivers. To Satan’s children, all their “good” words and deeds are merely for the purpose of deception. Their godly words and deeds are simply a cost of advertising, a price they pay to purchase the asset of “good will,” a necessary expenditure to get dupe to trust them. But all the motives and intentions of their spirits remain selfish, and they willingly destroy innocent lives for a little gain.
If we work and live with a person for a substantial period of time, and objectively watch for all the little details that reveal the motives of the spirit, we can sometimes begin to honestly assess whether or not that one is one of the elect. But the problem is that we are seldom objective and are somewhat blind, not able to rightly judge anyone’s words and deeds, nor able to see the details that do actually manifest what originates from the spirit, and not simply from the flesh. To do this, an elect spirit needs to become quite well-taught, wise and mature, as a true disciple of Jesus. For an infantile and ignorant elect spirit will see some bad words and outward behaviours of the flesh and automatically assume that those words and deeds originated from the spirit. Then this foolish elect soul may even be tricked into warring against that elect brother or sister, while serving non-elect deceivers whom one assumes are God’s true servants. Many elect have even tricked into believing that Satan, a liar and murderer, is Jesus, and that this devil’s most faithful servants are Christ’s disciples. Thus, each and every elect soul must first go to the Bible and to the real God of that Bible first, and stay with Him for a long season, until one personally learns truth, and how to love. Only then can an elect spirit begin to judge others rightly, and see whether or not others truly love, with pure motives and intentions. Therefore, by the words and works originating from the spirit in a human heart, by the good or evil motives of those words or works, by the loving or selfish intentions of those words or works, by determining whether or not those words and works are built upon proven truth or lies, we can very carefully and cautiously sometimes discern whether a person has either an elect spirit or a non-elect spirit. That is, by “fruits” of the human spirit, the elect are able to find their elect brothers and elect sisters in the family of God, although even the most mature of them can be fooled at times.
“By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit. A good tree can’t produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit” (Mat. 7:16-18, WEB). Every human spirit is simply what it was created to be, and cannot change its own spiritual “genetics.” Then God will always begin to teach truth and love to literally all His elect children, starting at birth. So all the elect will love in His just and pure way, at least in some small way. Since God is always training the elect to act wisely through love, without a human god ruling over them, all will display this trait to some extent. Even if an elect spirit has not yet learned to trust Jesus consciously, and does not yet know His name or any teachings of the Bible, all the elect actually trust the real Jesus, although their spirits do this unconsciously. For the inherent nature of their elect spirits do so, without knowing His name, since He is always whispering in the ears of their spirits, and saving them from lies and sins.
Yes, the Bible actually teaches us that God will save, and is now saving, literally all the elect upon the earth, even those who do not yet consciously know His name. Therefore, since God is saving all, none are being saved by human beings. False churches, those led by human gods who pretend that they are saviours, hate this true biblical teaching, since it makes those human saviours and their fake churches redundant. Yet this is a truth all the elect must fully comprehend, that our God Jesus is our one and only Saviour, our one and only Head Teacher, the only wise Judge of all, the only Brother Page 35
