I have modified my post on the request of the people on this post for 'proof' ...please read the scriptures indicated.
as been requested:
I was moved with love to share the following with you all, to give some light on the suject in which you all inquire about
In the beginning as stated in my other posts there was Death (Hate) and God (love). Death had no power over good but God outo f the goodness of His (God's) heart created the 'Light' to stand in place of Darkness. Death wishes to consume LIFE. (maybe it's just me...but if Death didn't consume life...no one would die right? also John 1: 5, 6) All forms of life. That is what Death does. Genesis 1:1-3 speaks in regards this that there 'was' ALREADY darkness before 'The Light' (The Christ) ::John 8:12:: was created. Christ said 'I am the Truth, The Way, and THE LIGHT." This was the first thing created to stand in place of Darkness. (Colossians 1:15-17) Adam was given life to stay close to it and was informed not to eat of the Tree of the knowledge of good and bad. (Genesis 2:15-17) Why was this important? Because once Adam had partaken of the fruit he not only knew bad but became INTIMATE with this.(Gensis 3: 21-22) This world has you believe that 'knowledge is power' however truly i say to you today, 'He that gains knowledge' does not increase power but rather 'sorrow.' (Ecclesiastes 1:18 ) Knowing of the knowledge by intimate means made Adam prideful jealous angry selfish and full of hate etc.(Galations 5:19-20, ) Before this he never had manifested any of these traits. (Gensis 1:27, 31) He became 'unclean' in the sight of God, and did not practice the fruitage of the spirit.(Galations 5:22-24) This resulted in Death entering into the world. (Romans 5:12) But God showed mercy as He can upon anyone whom He choses to do so and provided 'The Way' for all to attain everlasting life.(John 14:6, Romans 9:14-15, Acts 4:10-12 Titus 1:1-3) Death made a bargin with God that if He (God) would give Death His only begotten Son ('The LIFE' John 14:6) He would release the world from the pains of Death.( Mt 20:28, 1 Timothy 2:6)
'Just as the Son of man came, not to be ministered to, but to minister and to give his soul a RANSOM in EXCHANGE for many"
www.dictionary.com defines ransom as: A)the release of property or a person for payment of a demanded price. b) The Price or payment demanded for such release.
Release from whom? (1 Corinthians 15:26)
Why? Because Death wishes to CONSUME LIFE. And Christ IS 'the Life.' God knowing that Death was a liar agreed these terms. (John 8:44 emphatic diaglott shows that Satan is NOT the father of the lie but rather HIS FATHER :Death: is the father of the LIE) Christ came and gave his soul AS A RANSOM (keyword) to free US from Death so we may attain everlasting life.(Hebrews 2:15, Collossians 1:13-14) In the process taught everyone not only what love was but what mercy was among other things. He taught us how to live and to show kindness and love to all so we may become one with Truth, and not 'the lie' (Death). After Christ's death He went to preach those that were already dead in Sheol about the hope of everlasting life.( 1 Peter 3: 18,19) Death, being a liar, Held on to Christ but did not release the world as he promised. (Proverbs 27:20, Habakkuk 2:5, Acts 2:24, Ephesians 4:8-10)This made it justified for God not only to take back His Son but also to release the world from Death's hold. Satan is not the last enemy may i remind you. For it is written that 'last enemy' is Death (1 Corinthians 15:26) That which will be brought to 'nothing.' God provided 'The WAY' (Christ) for us to attain life. This is why Christ said He was not only The Son of God but also 'the Light, the Truth, and THE WAY.' Anyone that wishes to listen and hear waht the spirit of Truth is speaking let them rejoice for they have understand that which prideful men and women have not yet with all the books of the world been able to comprehend. Why? Because they do not seek out Truth (Christ) but rather depend upon themselves and those prior to them to explain the 'mysteries' of suffering. Why is it taking so long? Let me remind you also for it is written: 'The Lord is not slow about his promise as some count slowness, but is patient with you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. ' (2 Peter 3:9) And for us to practice LOVE, Joy, Peace, Long suffering, Goodness, Faith, Mildness, Self control so we may push off our sinful inherited traits from Adam but rather become One with Life (Christ).
Once again, i am short of time at the San Antonio library and must go...but will respond more to this post as i am told to do so this week.
