Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
 
In the beginning of this world, the world we were cast down to, we were given a body and soul by the God of this world, who refers to himself as the Lord God.

Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

That is the first Adam, in whom all die. The Lord couldn't create anything everlasting nor anything good, like the God of Heaven.

Genesis 8:21 And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart (The living Soul) is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

With the Lord God all decays and dies. But our spirit is immortal, the true self, that which we really are, that which is created in Genesis chapter one,

John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Both masculine and feminine in the image of the living God, which is spirit.

Genesis 1:7 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

The flesh and soul are merely things we live through and unfortunately are addicted to, because that is the soul's design, to focus us on this Earth, through the flesh, lest we see that we are a spirit, and start seeking a way home, back to Heaven.

Job 26:13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

And that crooked serpent is that Living Soul, that tempted Eve with the knowledge of good and evil. The story of Adam and Eve isn't a literal story, it is just a means to communicate the truth, for if it was made plain at the time of writing then it would have been deleted by the same crooked serpent within a man. It was given to Moses in a vision, and he wrote it down.

1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 

To be made alive in Christ, one must follow and apply what he taught, unlike most who just worship a name of a dead man, and the image on the cross of destruction, where he is in hunger, thirst and in want of all things, serving his enemies which corrupt the truth of his teachings.

Deuteronomy 28:48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.

Calling themselves Christians who go to and fro in the Earth deceiving many in his name, with that iron crucifix around their necks.

Matthew 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ;(Christians) and shall deceive many.

The religious cannot grasp this, even with the truth staring them in the face, and they'll never accept it. That's just how it is. And Jesus himself said in revelation, he hates those who do the deeds of the Nicolaitanes.

Revelation 2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.

And the word Nicolaitanes means those conquerors of the lay people, the laity, who are those distinct from the church. In short, the Earthly church and her children, those members of the church who call themselves Christians. Those who followed Christ in the beginning called themselves simply those who are called out by God, ecclesia which translates in English to Church, but means a gathering or assembly people called out by God. In fact, ecclesia is mentioned 115 times in the New Testament, and has been wrongly replaced by the word Church.

Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Christians have usurped and hijacked scripture and deceived many, claiming the Bible to be theirs and theirs alone, they did it then, and do it now.

Acts 26:28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.

Christians had a bad reputation back then, hence Agrippa saying almost, because they spoke of Jesus as a replacement for Caesar, which naturally Rome wasn't too found of at the time. However Paul correctly taught of Jesus, unlike those Nicolaitanes who sought to replace the authority of Rome, by making Jesus king, ignoring what Jesus said about that, that his kingdom was NOT of this world.

Matthew 22:21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

In the end they were successful. They had conquered Rome, and placed a Pope as its head, and thus the next step was to conquer the world.

Revelation 6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

The corruption of what Jesus taught began with Christians, those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, who sought to conquer men with their doctrine, hence why they were called Nicolaitanes, conquerors of the lay people. And organised religion does just that, they went around building churches in Jesus name, ordering people to visit and serve God aggressively.

Revelation 2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.

And Jesus hated them, because they made people just believe in doctrine of men, worshipping in buildings made with hands and not turn to the Father FIRST and do his will, instead of their own will which is rooted in corruption. They cared more about their earthly authority more than serving the Father.

James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

But, because Jesus brought us the teachings of the Father, the God of Heaven, we ALL have a chance to be redeemed, if we understand and APPLY what he taught us. Do not be mistaken though. Know the fruit, if it bad and is of the Earth it is of Satan, death and destruction are his ways. If the fruit be righteous and of peace, it is of the Father, so turn to him first so that you will recognise the tares.

Matthew 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Hence why we need the Father's help, by turning towards him within, in spirit, because without his revelations, his grace given to us by seeking him within, we are subject to the wicked ways of the world of good and evil, and for the most part we're ignorant of what is good and what is bad, hence the following saying.

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Ultimately, we suffer because of our ignorance of God, and the ignorance of Satan's devices. He that holds the balances of deceit, the knowledge of good and evil, that powers that living soul within us, causing us to follow the law of sin.

1 Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

We must be converted out from the first Adam, the old man into the last Adam, the new man. All of the first Adams are gentiles, because we walk after the flesh blinded by our heart (soul), until we become the new man of the spirit.

Ephesians 4:17 -24 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But ye have not so learned Christ; If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Again this is a process, being renewed in mind, transformed and converted and then finally being born again. This doesn't happen in a church, it only happens symbolically, with its silly rituals and clothes to allude importance and meaning. Currently we are in constant communication and conflict with our own soul (heart) which continuously leads us astray with it's good and evil thoughts, which we then express in the physical, where the good is used to justify and rationalise the evil within us and the world.

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Without the Father's help we cannot know the truth, we can only THINK we know, and that is the conversation with the old man, the first Adam, after whose likeness we were created and held captive in. This body of flesh called the Homosapien, separated by the Lord God into both a masculine form and a feminine form, a form that always dies.

Matthew 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

We must turn to our Father in Heaven like a child and ask for help, humbling our self, because as it stands we are lead and ruled by the wisdom of the world, which is foolishness to God.

John 3:6-7 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

Millions of people think they're born again, and yet act and behave and think as the old man, the first Adam, they haven't changed nor have been converted, they just think and believe. A cunning deception of the soul, which leads man to be taught by man, and act in kind. Only the Father helps a person become born again of the spirit. Again, meaning to be restored back to what we once were, a righteous spirit, as an Angel in Heaven.

John 3:6-8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Meaning, man does not decide this. It is an unseen internal process, and it is the Father's revelations that begins the treatment, which leads to a person being born again.

2 Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

Our faith in the words of a book, or in a man of the cloth isn't what leads to it, in fact it leads a person further away, since it is a case of the blind leading the blind. It is the Father that REVEALS that interpretation, none else. It sure as hell isn't the religious leaders who can barely follow what they preach.

1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
 
The word of God, meaning Revelations, which as stated in John 3:6-8 cannot be seen, nor discerned by the flesh, or any intellect or Earthly wisdom.

Luke 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

It comes by going within, by turning within, repenting from the thoughts of our hearts, with the spirit (mind) and seeking the Father first for knowledge of the truth, so that the Father himself, via his Holy Spirit, his words of truth, which will prove ALL THINGS to you, which will then make foolish the wisdom of this world.

1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

So develop that ability by turning within to God above all else.
