There is a SPIRIT “OF” MAN within man so states the Word of God – does man have an immortal soul?

 

 

 

The Truth of the ‘Spirit of Man” found in the Word of God will be quickly rejected by “nominal” Christians – as it invalidates much of their doctrines.

 

The “Spirit – OF – Man” is –NOT — an immortal ‘soul’, — but is the spirit of a human formed by God an put “within” each of us at conception.

 

Zechariah 12: 1

1 “The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and — formeth — The Spirit – “OF” – Man –“within him”.

God forms a “human Spirit” which is then placed at the moment of conception “in” the fertilized ovum i.e zygote . Each “Spirit of Man” is uniquely individual – there are no two alike just as there are no two finger prints alike.

God does not make identical copies – one exactly like another in every way, and neither is one ‘spirit’ like another. God the Father is creating each one of us in His own image as HIS “MASTERPIECES”: each a one of a kind work of art.

God despises “widgets” mass produced by a “cookie cutter” assemble line. God, even down to the fine details reject sameness even to the point that the finger prints of identical twins are different one from the other.

Are you aware God commanded the Israelites to make altars from uncut stones and forbids using uniform bricks of any kind?

 

The “Spirit of Man” is not immortal, — it is – NOT — an immortal “SOUL” and it is not the Holy Spirit of the Father.

 

This “Spirit ‘OF’ Man” God, gives at conception, elevates the creative and mental abilities of men far above that of animals. The bodily functions and physiological design of men are similar to that of animals, even the brain of a chimpanzee compares to that of a man quantitatively but there is a huge and unbridgeable differences between the two. WHY?

Point of interest:

The fact of similarities in design, in form, in function throughout all that was made reveals the same mind was at work. There is ONE Maker using one master set of “blueprints”.

I Corinthians 2: 11

11 “For what man knoweth the things of a man, save — the Spirit of man - which is–IN– him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, — but (by) the Spirit of God.

 

That “Spirit of Man” God places – WITHIN – each person at conception imparts the ability to comprehend the physical creation at a level no animal can approach. Each individual man or women receives different mental and emotional levels, different abilities and talents: each man each women is NOT created mentally or physically equal – all are unique, all are different, not one like another.

 

The things that a man CAN come to know, to understand, to do and create –by that God given ability which is much superior to that of animals – — THAT- very ability is placed “within” each man by God.

 

That Spirit of Man limits mankind to this physical world as God further states the “things” of GOD – “the Spiritual” – knoweth no man.

 

Man is able to understand this physical world – in depth — but the Spiritual world, the “Things” of GOD, must be revealed by God.

 

 

Job 32: 8

8 “But [there is] a Spirit “IN” man: and —- the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them (men) — understanding.

The “inspiration of understanding” given by God comes to men through the Spirit of Man placed in man by God.

The Spirit of Man is “IN” the man: placed into the “existing” man. God places this “spirit” within that existing man, it is NOT the man – it is an addition to man.

All three scriptures above state there is “A” Spirit God places “IN” man. The Spirit IN or OF man is — NOT — “the man”—not his “soul” – is not immortal, but is placed “WITHIN” the existing man, “temporarily”, by God and this Spirit can be destroyed by God – thus is not immortal.

Matthew 10

28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul (#5590): but rather fear him which is able –to destroy –both “soul” (#5590) and “body” in hell (#1067).

 

#7307 - Spirit: “Ruwach”; Breath, wind, spirit

#5590 - Soul: “Psuche”; breath, spirit

#1067 - Hell: “Gehenna” i.e. the Lake of Fire

 

The breath/spirit and body can be destroyed In the Lake of Fire, thus not immortal.

 

Jesus Christ in verse 28 states for the record: – you are NOT an immortal soul, “YOU” , each one of us can be destroyed by fire – you are dust!

 

Christ states – BOTH body and soul- can be destroyed by physical FIRE!! An immortal soul destroyed by physical fire is not so immortal — is it??

 

Point of fact: The valley of Gehenna out side of Jerusalem is the garbage dump where trash is burned. The lake of fire is where Jesus Christ will burn to ashes human garbage, those that refuse to obey.

 

“You” have not existed before, “You” are not immortal, ‘You ‘did not come down from heaven, “You” are not “going home” to the third heaven: “YOU” are temporary flesh and blood made from dust of the earth – and “YOU”, each of us, CAN and WILL DIE !!!

 

BY that Spirit “of” Man God imparts to men greater abilities and understanding above that of animals. By that “Spirit of Man” our Father begins to make men — in HIS “Spirit” image; .

 

By that spirit, man is made greater then animals but lower then angels and the spiritual creation process, salvation, continues until we can be “born again”, Born the 2^nd time – into immortal GOD Spirit.

 

“That which is born of the flesh — “IS” — FLESH and that born of the Spirit = “IS” = SPIRIT!” If you can bleed you are not born again. IF you are visible you are not born again, Christ clearly state those born again will be invisible like the wind.

 

Mankind have been made of the dust of the earth – physical – temporary living fleshly creatures, not immortal only temporary: for the purpose of being made into the SPIRIT image of our FATHER : our FATHER IS A SPIRIT.

 

At the first resurrection which is “graduation day” those First Fruits, the Saints of God, will be born again in the spirit image of Jesus Christ with a body OF Spirit exactly as Jesus Christ has.

 

Philippians 3: 21

21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his (Jesus Christ) glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

 

Numbers 16: 22

22 “And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the “Spirits” of – all — flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?

Numbers 27: 16

16 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,

Almighty God is the God of all “Spirits” of ALL Flesh of which there are many kinds of flesh and many kinds of spirits.

 

1 Corinthians 15

38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.

39 All flesh [is] not the same flesh: but [there is] one [kind of] flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, [and] another of birds.

 

Every person that has ever been or will ever be – has a “Spirit” placed in them, individual and unique, placed in them by God the Father at conception.

 

It is the ‘Spirit of “A” man’ and that “spirit” imparts to that existing human person limited abilities similar to, in a physical sense – God’s spiritual abilities. Man can know he exist can “think” in the abstract, think about the future and plan for that future. Man can conceptualize and build complex infrastructure; man can do and is now doing almost anything his mind can conceive of.

 

And as the scriptures above states all flesh has ‘A’ Spirit, even the animals: are not animals flesh, Paul says they are?

Proverbs 16; 2

2 “All the ways of a man [are] clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the Spirits.”

By the Spirit within Man GOD records the events and even each and every word and each and every thought over the course of our lives. God reviews what is recorded by that Spirit to determine the physical and the Spiritual condition of that person. Is that person growing in righteousness or is that person becoming filled with iniquity: it is all there — every righteous or evil thought or deed. There is nothing hidden from our GOD.

Hebrews 12: 9

9 “Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected [us], and we gave [them] reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father – OF – Spirit”s”, and live?”

 

This scripture alludes to the FACT that God is creating men to become SPIRIT as Our Father IS A Spirit and as our Father is a Spirit He is making man in HIS Spirit image: to live forever one must become SPIRIT.

Does not the apostle Paul state “this corruptible must put on incorrutption”?

When born again at that First Resurrection, that better resurrection, those in that first resurrection we be born Spirit.

The different “spirits” will be addressed later in this paper.

As a man by physical means bring to life a physical son or daughter and thus becomes their father, so God by spiritual means brings in to being by a unique “Human Spirit” a “human” person for the purpose of becoming a spirit Son of GOD.

 

God the Father does not become our Spiritual Father until the Father’s Holy Spirit (Seed) is placed within us by the laying on of hands after repentance and baptism.

 

The Spirit in Man is NOT the Holy Spirit of the Father. It is as stated; it is the Spirit that makes man “human”, it is what elevates man above the animals allowing man to rule, have dominion over all things on earth. Man is physically an animal made “human” by the human spirit God places in them.

 

God’s HOLY Spirit can only “dwell” within spiritual cleanliness: it is only after repentance and baptism that the Father’s Spirit can be placed in a person. Men are not spiritually clean, Holy, until washed by the blood of Christ.

 

Ecclesiastes 1: 7

7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and - the spirit – shall return unto God — who gave it.

 

That“Spirit” God places in every person at conception is returned to God at death. The body of flesh and blood returns to dust but the “Spirit of Man” that was IN the man” returns to God who made it and GAVE TO THE MAN OR WOMEN. This spirit is not immortal, is not an immortal soul; the spirit in man has no consciousness of being it simply imparts to men that level of understanding that places men lower then the angels but greater then animals and records our entire life.

 

Ecclesiastes 3: 16 – 22

16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment (we are judged on earth), [that] wickedness [was] there; and the place of righteousness, [that] iniquity [was] there.

17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for [there is] a time there for every purpose and for every work.

There is a schedule God has put in place, every event is scheduled and has or will occur exactly on scheduled to the split second — God does NOT change the schedule nor the rules, and Laws, by which the schedule is carried out — as the majority of so called Christians demand of HIM.

God laid out that “Schedule” long ago and can be understood by the events foreshowed by 7 Holy Feasts of GOD and God’s Sabbath.

18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest (to) them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. (#929 cattle, beast)

Men physically speaking are very similar physiologically to most mammals; as men and animals are constructed similar in form and function. All must breath air, eat, drink and eliminate – all live and die, the majority procreate male with female. Life is the same for both and both are one breath away from death.

What makes man above the beasts of the fields is the Spirit of Man; it is not our brains as our brains are comparable to that of a chimp. Man is different because of a spirit component placed in each of us at conception.

19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; — so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all [is] vanity.

The word translated “breath” is #7307 and is the same word for Spirit and in this usage means breath or breathing air to live. Physiologically man is not greater then the beasts of the fields so states God Almighty.

20 All — go unto one place; — all — are of the dust, and — all turn to dust again.

21 Who knoweth the “Spirit of Man” that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?

As Paul has explained, men can come to understand the spiritual BY the physical. Until the computer age that “Spirit ‘in’ Man” could not be compared to any physical thing. The Spirit in/of man is IN the man but is NOT THE MAN — it is NOT immortal nor is it an immortal soul and Solomon writes the Spirit of Man goes upwards and the spirit of the beast goes downward. Man’s spirit returns to God who gave it, the spirit in beasts simply vanishes as the beast returns to dust as there is no eternal purpose for animals.

Many today are familiar with the small devices that can copy and store everything in our computers and can install computer ‘software”: that Spirit IN the man is God’s “spirit device”. This Spirit ‘device’ records our complete life even our character or lack there of and every word, thought and deed. This spiritual “device” contains the sum total of our entire life: every thing we have learned, thought and done, but it is not conscious, it does not think or know, it is not immortal.

This “spirit device” imparts the “spiritual software” so to speak, that places man above the animals.

Romans 8

26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

27 And he (GOD) that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he (the spirit) maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.

By that “Spirit in Man” God the Father knows our physical and spiritual condition. That Spirit reveals to our Father what we ourselves do not fully understand regarding our own “hearts” i.e our nature, our deepest thoughts and feelings.

By that Spirit of Man God imparts to each person a level of understanding and intellect much higher then animals. That “Spirit in Man” is what make men different then the beast and thus capable of beginning to understanding the spiritual things of God — when revealed by God.

This Spirit, God places in each of us at birth, is as unique as our finger prints: none are the same.

Each person by “that Spirit” God places in them is given different abilities and levels of abilities, different intellectual levels and different personalities; God has never and will never create nor duplicate a man even once. God is not like men “manufacturing” all things exactly alike.

Man has machines that spit out widgets by the millions, each an exact copy. Our God will never make “cookie cutter” or “manufactured” men.

What has our God created here on earth? How many varieties of cats are there, how many kinds of palm trees are there and just look at the oceans teaming with ten’s of thousands of varieties of life? Nothing of God is an exact duplicate”.

At death that “Spirit” returns to God, at the resurrection to eternal life to immortality , God places that “Spirit device” into an immortal Spirit Body like unto HIS Perfect Holy Spirit Body and ‘we’ awake for ever more.

At the resurrection to damnation (the third resurrection) that ‘spirit” is destroyed along with the body of flesh we all temporally dwell in. There will be no memory that those in the resurrection to damnation ever existed, it will be as if they were never born.

In the 2^nd resurrection, the resurrection back to temporary physical flesh to be judged for the first time, that same unique Spirit is place back into a flesh and blood body (Ezekiel 37); it will be as if that decease person had been asleep and just woke up.

Again this “Spirit in Man” is not immortal, those that refuse to repent of their sins and obey the voice of God are resurrected in the 3^rd resurrection (the final and physical resurrection to condemnation) are judged by the Torah and sentenced to death and cast into the Lake of Fire.

They lose both life (breath and body i.e. physical life) and the “Spirit of Man” is destroyed with them. It will be as if they had never ever existed; all of their thoughts, deeds and memories cease to exist and we that remain will have no memory of them.

The Hebrew word translated as Spirit or Spirits in all the above scriptures are the same Hebrew word: #7307 “Ruwach” which Strong’s defines as: ‘breath’, ‘wind’ and or ‘spirit’.

 

In the New Testament this same word ‘spirit’ is #4151 Pneuma and is also translated by Stong’s as wind or spirit : it is the same word.

 

When Adam was made on the 6^th day in the image of God, God placed with in Adam “A “ Spirit that gave Adam abilities greater then the beast of the field. This Spirit placed IN each person at conception imparts greater mental capabilities and not immortality. The “Spirit” God places in man gives man abilities similar to but vastly – inferior – to that of God’s abilities,

 

None of the scriptures above imply anything other then man being given limited abilities. Neither can this be God the Fathers’ Holy Spirit as the Holy Spirit is placed in each person when they are called and after repentance, baptism and the lay on of hands. The Holy Spirit, that ONE SPIRIT, is a gift that comes only at the beginning of conversion and from God the Father.

 

The Spirit in Man:

God places within each individual at conception a Spirit of Man , not the same the Spirit as that of the angels or the animals, this unique Spirit gives to humans a God like spiritual ability to think and create but only at the physical level not the God level.

 

That Spirit of Man separates us from the animals. From a physiologically stand point it has been demonstrated man is physically equal with some animals. Both are living breathing creatures – souls or nephesh’s (Hebrew word for soul) and both men and animals function and exist by a physiological design common to both.

 

The difference between man and animal is the “Spirit” God places in each. Man is created in God’s image and some animals are created with the features of angels. i.e. wings, hooves, faces of eagles, bulls, bears etc. Angels were created before the earth was made thus some animals are similar to angels: bears, eagles, lions etc.

 

Man is made in a limited “physical” likeness of our “Spirit” Father and when conversion begins the Father begins to form His saints into His Spirit likeness. God is an immortal SPIRIT – we are but temporary physical beings made of dust and not spirit.

 

Below are some of the spiritual abilities God gives man which no other creature (nephesh/soul) on earth possess to the extent man does.

 

Do the animals have within limits some of these abilities, yes, but no animal has the full spectrum as does man?

Man can think and imagine within our minds and have deep abstract thoughts:

Man can create new ideas, new concepts and bring forth new things that never existed before.

Man is capable of the full range of God’s emotions: happiness, joy, satisfaction, contentment, sadness, anger etc.

Men understand they exist as individuals, each unique and separate.

Men understand the concept of “future”.

Man can plan for and anticipate the future.

Man understands the concept of good and evil – right and wrong.

 

The Spirit in man is like everything God makes: individual and unique, not one like another and the diversities within the tribes of men are incredible. Some races of man excel at certain things and others do not. Tribe of Judah, the Jews, is known for their minds. Jewish people are Doctors, lawyers and the leaders in human intellectual areas.

 

The some races are known for their athletic, musical or organizational abilities – the Germans are known for their love of “order”. Each Tribe of man is different and even within each tribe each person is different — all are individuals, unique, not one like another.

 

God not only makes us each unique in size and shape but in mental abilities and physical appearances, not just our finger prints but eyes and voices: all different. creates only diversity, never sameness. is the Creator the Maker of masterpieces – the master potter- not the manufacturer. does not have an assembly line ———–

 

Our God IS creating with men one of a kind “Masterpieces”.

 

Even the hundreds of millions of Angels are all unique not one the same. Angels are made and were given an “Angelic Spirit”; The spirit in Angels; angels are immortal and they are spirit. And just like there are different races or tribes of men so there are different kinds of angels.

 

Angels are not given the Father’s Holy Spirit, Only the Father, Jesus Christ and soon the resurrected Saints will be of that – ONE- SPIRIT:

 

That “ONE” Spirit of Elohiym raised Jesus Christ from death to immortal life and will also raise God’s Saints from death to Life Eternal- that same — ONE– SPIRIT of the FATHER will raise the dead to immortal spirit at the first resurrection.

 

Those in God’s Family; In the House of GOD i.e. The Household of GOD– only – are of that “ONE” Spirit of the Father.

 

All that will be born again will be in the Family of GOD, the HOUSE of GOD including those living during the 1000 year reign of Christ and those in the 2^nd resurrection but first all must be converted and willingly chose to obey the LORD their GOD.

 

None of the many different kinds of spirits; the spirit of an angel, the spirit of a human, the spirit of an animal, the spirit of a bird etc are the Father’s own personal individual “Holy” Spirit. God uses different kinds of spirits in immortal or temporary physical life — but only GODS’ SONS will BE given life eternal by the FATHERS’ “ONE” SPIRIT.

 

Paul tells us we can understand the spiritual by comparing the physical to the spiritual thus when a human man has a son that son is of the man’s own DNA. Think of the Father’s Holy Spirit or Seed as His own personal “Spirit DNA”.

 

The Father’s Holy Spirit is that “Seed”, that spiritual “DNA”, that is “impregnated” into a potential Son of God and that Spirit of the Father comes into that repentant person by the laying on of Hands after water baptism.

 

At the resurrection the sons of God are born again – “quickened” to immortal spirit life — by that very same Holy – ONE – Spirit as was Jesus Christ. We shall all be of that ONE SPIRIT.

 

1 Peter 1

23 Being born again #313 (impregnated) , not of corruptible “seed” #4701 (sperm), but of incorruptible (seed/sperm), by the word (command) of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

#313. anagennaó: Short Definition: I beget again, beget into a new life

#4701. spora: Short Definition: seed

 

When God the Father “impregnates” a person with His Holy Spirit, (His Spirit ‘DNA’, His Holy Seed, His Very ‘Spirit Essence”, His very Divinity) that Spirit of the Father empowers and gives that physical man spiritual understand beyond the already elevated physical level. This now ‘new man’ can then begin to grasp the “Things of God”; God’s Righteous LAW for example.

 

Are you beginning to see why the satanic doctrine of a trinity was put in place by Satan??

 

When that Holy Seed of the Father is implanted in a called and chosen individual, the ‘conversion’ process begins. God then begins in that chosen person the “circumcision without hands” : their carnal human nature is spiritual cut away and in its place God begins to build HIS Divine Holy Righteous Perfect Nature by the power of that Holy Seed with in us.

What is being “converted” ?— our nature! we must “put on” the Divine HOLY Nature of our FATHER. This is explained in Jeremiah 31: 31- 33.

The “Spirit of man” is the record of all God is accomplishing in those HE calls: God will never abandon HIS master pieces, the perfect works of HIS HANDS.

Do you understand when God has finished HIS PERFECT WORK in you – you will be perfect as is Jesus Christ.

 

Without God’s Spirit dwelling or planted in a person, only a limited cursory understanding of God’s Word is possible. Witness the 40,000 ‘flavors’ of so called Christianity, that division is caused by unconverted and confused physical human minds trying to understand the spiritual things of God.

 

Spiritual understanding comes only by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and according to scripture; it is only the few that receive that Spirit in this age.

Jude

14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

Not billions or even millions as folks think, but 10 thousands of HIS SAINTS,

 

“Many are Called, —- “few” are Chosen” in this age.

 

It must be God the Father’s Personal Holy Spirit ‘Essence’, Seed or Divinity that is placed into a person; otherwise God could not be our Spiritual Father.

 

Acts 2: 18  I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; “

The Father’s own Spirit: the Father states it is — “MY SPIRIT”!

So the “ghost” is pourable?? Really?? What is able to be poured; water and oil? What is used in the Word to represent Gods’ Holy Spirit? Water and oil!

Rome is the inventor of the false doctrine of a trinity and the blasphemous “Ghost”.

It was the Father’s Spirit “DNA” that impregnated Mary, thus God the Father became The Father of Jesus Christ. “The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called: The Son of God.”

 

The Holy Spirit –shall come upon thee — –THE POWER OF THE HIGHEST !!!

 

The Holy Spirit is the POWER of God the Father, His Divinity, His Essence, His Being —and NOT a third entity. God is A SPIRIT – the SPIRIT OF POWER.

 

God just told us what HIS SPIRIT “IS “– why do you refuse to believe HIS WORD?

 

Do you realize logically, if the Holy Spirit was a third member of the God Head, the “ghost” would BE the Father of Christ and Christ would BE His own father??

 

Comment:

we have strayed from the main topic of this paper for the purpose of developing a deeper understanding of “Spirit”. To grasp the “Spirit in Man” we must understand the difference spirits and how God uses “Spirit’ in His work of creation.

 

Simply seeing all the different creatures on this earth should scream to every man: “God hates sameness and loves varieties that God love individuality and uniqueness!” The number of mammal species is huge but even within each specie God divides it even more. How many breeds of horses are there?

 

If you have been around animals you will know each is unique and most have their own personalities. Dogs are knows as man’s best friend and each has its own individual personality. No two dogs are alike, no two breeds of dogs are alike and the number of breeds grows daily.

 

God gives to each animal ‘kind’ an ‘Animal spirit’, this spirit of an animal imparts the specific instincts and characteristics that each “kind” requires for reproduction and survival. All living things do not need to be taught to nurse their young, to feed themselves or to reproduce etc. as does man. What each kind of animal, bird or fish needs to survive and reproduce has been programmed into each of them by their particular “spirit’.

 

Every specie God creates, whether animal, bird, fish, insects etc each has it own unique purpose, personality and habits or traits.

 

When the wildebeest drops its young, its young are able to run in moments to escape the lions. Monarch Butterflies travel to a site in Mexico once a year. Ducks fly south for the winter and the American eagle fly south from Alaska to Florida to lay eggs in the same nest year by year. And look at the size of their brains compared to humans, how else could they know what to do and how to do it unless God planted that knowledge into them?

 

Each animal spirit God place in each ‘kind’ imparts to that particular species the necessary and specific instincts needed to multiply and to thrive.

 

GOD is a Spirit and God creates by and with that spirit power that is HIS alone!

 

By and from spirit God creates:

The spirit of an angel:

The spirit of a man:

The spirit of an animal;

The spirit of a bird:

The spirit of a fish:

The spirit of an insect;

 

From the physical and the spiritual creation one can come to understand our GOD is a GOD of diversity and individual uniqueness. According to the net there are 4,600 different kinds of mammals just in North America. Below is a list taken from the net showing the diversity of life created by our Father and His Son.

 

From within animal kind there are differences of spirit; there is the spirit of a cow, a horse, an elephant, a lion! It has occurred to me the animals we are told we can eat in the main have much less personality and are dumber then most others. Cows are stupid as are chickens; pigs are a little smarter and some do have personalities. Horses and dogs are another matter altogether. Sheep are led to the slaughter without a care in the world and fish just live to eat and be eaten. I do love to eat fish.

 

After hopefully coming to a better understanding of Spirit and the Spirit of Man God places in man, what then is God’s purpose in His work here on earth?

 

Genesis 1:

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

 

If you have spent some time reading and deeply studying the WORD of God hopefully you understand God begins with the physical and finishes with the Spiritual. The physical comes before the Spiritual: the first man Adam, the physical man, the second man Jesus Christ, the Spiritual man. First the physical lamb is sacrificed then the spiritual lamb Jesus Christ is sacrificed, first physical Israel then spiritual Israel.

 

In the book of Genesis God the Father and Jesus Christ reveal the reason THEY created the heavens above and the earth below. Elohiym is making man in Their IMAGE — in Their LIKENESS. Right at the beginning of Their BOOK Elohiym revealed Their purpose for creation.

 

God is bringing by a spiritual process similar to the physical, many sons into HIS Family! God is reproducing after HIS OWN “KIND”. Remember in Genesis God states; KIND only comes from KIND. Those born of flesh are flesh and those born of the spirit — ARE SPIRIT.

 

Why does The Father apply the term ‘Father’ to HIMSELF and why does He call Christ His Son: because GOD – ELOHIYM — is a family. God chose the family structure not a corporate structure, not a partnership, not some other form of relationship — Family is eternal! Family creates the strongest bond possible among individuals of the same Nature.

 

We have been made by God to become SONS — not vice presidents, not partners, not associates –SONS. The family is a loving close existence that can and will last forever in perfect unity.

 

As found in the WORD the physical come first and then the Spiritual. Man was born as temporary flesh and blood and then must be born again but this time into immortal SPIRIT and into the FAIMLY OF GOD as SONS.

 

 

Estimated Number of Animal and Plant Species on Earth Believe it or not, there are about 950,000 species of insects No one knows for sure how many species of animals exist on Earth. In fact, some 10,000 species of animals are discovered each year, with over one and a half million species already described. Projections for the total number of species on Earth range from 2 million to 50 million. Animal group Number of species Vertebrates   Amphibians 6,199 Birds 9,956 Fish 30,000 Mammals 5,416 Reptiles 8,240 Subtotal 59,811 Invertebrates   Insects 950,000 Molluscs 81,000 Crustaceans 40,000 Corals 2,175 Others 130,200 Subtotal 1,203,375 Plants   Mosses 15,000 Ferns and allies 13,025 Gymnosperms 980 Dicotyledons 199,350 Monocotyledons 59,300 Green Algae 3,715 Red Algae 5,956 Subtotal 297,326 Others   Lichens 10,000 Mushrooms 16,000 Brown Algae 2,849 Subtotal 28,849 Total 1,589,361

 

 

“Varity is the spice of life,” my physical father taught me this when I was a young boy and I now understand this to be the TRUTH.
