Most Christians
agree... When Jesus returns for His people, the
dead in Christ will be resurrected in their new
spiritual body and those who are living and
"BEGOTTEN" or "SAVED" will be
changed in a "twinkling of the eye" and
meet Him in the air. In a brief moment we will be
changed and leave our earthly bodies and take on
our new resurrected, spiritual
bodies.
According
to scripture, from that time forth we are
incapable of sin. We are born-again of the
spirit.
If
that is the case, then we must have been judged
here on earth, while in our earthly bodies, on a
day-to-day basis! How can that be? Let's see...
First,
let's see where the confusion lies...
We
have been wrongly taught that God punishes
us for not living according to HIS laws. It
is NOT punishment from the
creator, it's simply a matter of "Spiritual
Physics." God's laws of "Spiritual
Physics." God does not punish us. No more
than he is punishing a caterpillar that did not
achieve the final "state of physique"
required for the caterpillar to transform into a
butterfly. it is simply a matter of God's laws of
physics. That person was never transformed into a
"new creature." The scriptures tell us
that when we are "begotten" or
"saved" we are a "new
creature." We are still in our same flesh
bodies but our spirit has been transformed into
that of a "new spiritual creature" with
different goals and feelings. we ARE A NEW
CREATION! I can understand why so many people
think that is the "born again"
experience that Jesus spoke of in John 3:3
because you actually feel as though you are
"born again!"
I
guess this should make a person feel a little
less secure in the thought that there will be a
chance in court, when our great and loving Father
judges our lives. We are wrongly taught that a
kind, loving creator is incapable of allowing
them to be cast into a "DUMP" or a
cosmic trash heap that is commonly known as
"hell." A dumping-place provided for
those who did not qualify for eternity in Heaven.
This "place" is where the refuse
or the "failures" experience "The
Second Death," the death of the spirit...
this "second death" is not punishment,
it's just a place where the beings who were not
willing or incapable to make the change are
disposed of, like that of the
caterpillar/butterfly transformation. I say
incapable because, according to scripture, there
are those whose names are not written in The
Lamb's Book Of Life. These people will never be
able to become born again of the spirit... Isn't
it time to find out if your name is written in
the Book Of Life? Isn't it time to earnestly seek
the saving grace of God, THROUGH HIS SON, Jesus,
our friend, our High Priest, our savior who died
for us... The time to seek HIS face and
forgiveness is while we still have presence of
mind and body. That is the time to enter into
prayer with Jesus and ask for the
"begotten" or "saved" status
of a kingdom-bound follower of Christ. Jesus
tells us that we must work hard to find the
narrow path. Once you experience the
"begotten" experience you actually WANT
to walk the walk. It is not hard. simply take one
step at a time, Pray, pray, pray.
Quantum
Physics...
The study of the non-physical forces affecting
our physical world.
I use the term spiritual
physics Instead of quantum
physics.
Perhaps
This Explanation Will Benefit You...
The
New Age doctrine
leads people to believe in a loving God that will
surely be forgiving and not convict us. Well... HE
doesn't convict us, we convict ourselves when we
do not pass the tests that result in the
inability to transcend into the Kingdom.
I think it's a matter of "spiritual
physics," God created ALL things using HIS
laws of physics. Here in the physical realm we
learn about physical (material) physics. Little
if any is taught about "spiritual
physics." After all HE is spiritual! Perhaps
it's that simple, if we don't make the
"change" spiritually, we can't
transcend! I'll write more on this on this
page... Like all teachers, I repeat myself!
We
must remember: God is obviously a creator who
makes laws. Laws of physics. We see them every
day. Let's get down to the basics; here on earth,
oil and water don't mix! There are billions upon
billions of laws, all developed by the creator.
All of the universe and nature abide by them.
HE
created rules.. Rules that will enable the people
who live by HIS rules and the example set by HIS
Son, to make the transformation into the
spiritual being that enables us to enter the
Kingdom.
These
aren't laws of curse or punishment, only a
process, when practiced, allows us to become a
"new creature" capable of transcending.
Simply put, if we don't receive the
"change" that happens to a
"begotten" "justified" -
"saved" - "born-again"
person, we don't have the state of being that
allows us to transcend. By practicing
the laws of HIS "spiritual physics" we
are able to possess the physique required for
entry into the Kingdom.
With
that thought in mind, It's pretty critical to
live the doctrine of Jesus Christ in our daily
affairs. In other words, you have to
walk-the-walk in your daily affairs. The way we
treat each other, the way we refrain from lying,
cheating, stealing, murdering, worship of money
(material), adultery, the complete doctrine.
Repentance is a must. Confession of our sins and
repentance is required to be forgiven by our
Father in heaven. The confession and repentance
must be truly from the heart and genuine. Simple
"lip service" won't work. By the way,
I'm not talking about confession to a priest! No
man can forgive the sins of another man! I'm
talking about a pouring out of the heart to the
person you sinned against and our Father in
heaven!
How
Do You Acquire The Spiritual Physique Required To
Transcend...
There
is only one way! One way to be resurrected from
the grave and receive your new spiritual body...
Only one way to be changed from the mortal, flesh
body of this world in a twinkling of the eye and
take on your new resurrected, spiritual body. That one way is
made through Jesus Christ... NOW. We not
only believe, receive and trust HIM but we must
do our very best to pattern our lives and conduct
after HIS example. When we fail we must confess
and repent! The easiest way to describe a
hypocrite is to describe a professed Christian
who sins BUT does not confess the sin and repent!
That is the only difference... of course you
would have to assume that sorrow is not in the
heart of the hypocrite. If there is no sorrow for
the sin, the confession is not genuine... also,
you can know that person is not filled with The
Holy Spirit of God... therefore that person is a
phony Christian or a hypocrite. One and the
same!!
Jesus
promised to send the "Comforter." The
last promise HE made before ascending to HIS
Father was HIS promise to send help in the form
of the Comforter or "Holy Spirit." It
is through the act of acquiring the Holy Spirit
that we are able to make the transformation into
the "New Creature," that the scriptures
teach us. This enables us to make the transition
into the spiritual body that allows us to enter
the Kingdom of God. (John 3:3)
There
is only ONE WAY, through accepting Jesus and
loving HIM, we are able to receive the Holy
Spirit. No other faith teaches this or believes
this... to my knowledge. The "ONE WAY"
is the means by which we are able to receive
assurance of transformation into the spiritual,
possessing the required
physique that permits us
entrance to the Kingdom of God... Heaven,
as we call it..
If
we fail to receive Jesus while of
this world of physical reality, we will surely be
judged, as we are taught in the Scriptures.
I
don't know of any one person that truly and
completely understands this supernatural process.
Do you suppose that's the reason The Lord Jesus
must send the Spirit to live within us? When The
Spirit resides in us we are able to learn and
absorb the doctrine and "will" of God,
enabling us to grow as a "New
Creation."
Speaking
Of Becoming A New Creature...
According
to biblical teaching, when we are
"begotten," we are a new creation! Now,
don't take that lightly! When the word of God
tells us we are a "new creation," it
means exactly what it says... We become
different... We have been endowed with the new
feature of spiritual physics which allows us to
develop through a gestation period as a NEW
CREATURE, born and glorified as a mature
spiritual being!
When
we are "begotten" you could compare
that to conception. At that moment we are
conceived (in the spirit) and become a CHILD OF
GOD. Before that time of being
"begotten" of God we are the child of a
human... At any time after we are begotten,
regardless of how far along we are in our stage
of development, we are kingdom-bound; that is,
UNLESS WE REFUSE TO TAKE ON THE NATURE OF GOD.
For if we, at some point, renounce the nature and
likeness of Christ, we abort ourselves from the
spiritual womb. That is not to say you can't
confess your sin, truly repent and be reinstated.
However, I can tell you from experience; that is
hard to achieve! After a person is
"begotten" and know the power and
redemption of Christ, then backslide into an
unrepentant, sinful life makes it nearly
impossible to return to your Christ-sanctioned,
"begotten" state of being. That's not
to say it won't happen, it's just plain hard to
achieve it.
The
Great White Throne Judgment...
Could
it be... The judgment, that so many folks
feel will allow them to plead their case... is
for those who were not able to acquire the saved,
born-again status to make the change from flesh
and blood to a spiritual being. A spiritual being
that becomes the type of being that can enter
into the Kingdom.
Could
it be that the judgement is for those who lived
before Christ sent the Holy Spirit? Jesus sent
The Holy Spirit, 50 days after
His resurrection.
Could
the "Judgement" also be for those who
never had the opportunity to accept Christ, such
as, those who were never told about Christ? Those
who never heard the gospel of salvation through
Jesus? If Jesus is the
required ingredient for spiritual salvation and
recreation, how can someone
achieve that spiritual physique if they have
never known Jesus or heard HIS gospel? I believe
I know that God can and does
save HIS own, whose names are written in The
Lamb's Book Of Life. Later, we'll talk about this
in depth. For now, just accept the written word
that Jesus declared that HE WAS THE WAY! I know
it because I know Jesus! I have felt HIS
presence, I have been healed by HIM, I know HIM
well. I am very fortunate. I thank God for the
trials and hardships that brought me low enough
to reach up for HIM. It is a worthwhile ambition!
I highly recommend it! It is within your grasp if
you WANT it. If you truly want it and need it,
you will pray, you will try, you will seek HIM.
HE will respond. Keep knocking! He will open the
door! That's HIS promise!
Here's
a thought: Jesus said that the road to the
Kingdom is narrow and FEW will EVER find it.
Here's the "other thought" We all know
that there are precious few in all religions and
doctrines who are visibly different and truly
kind, loving and forgiving... in other words
there are those who reflect the nature of Christ
but have never heard the doctrine. I KNOW THERE
ARE VERY FEW but Jesus said that only
a few will ever find that
narrow road to heaven. Is it egotistical for us
to believe that God cannot save a person HIMSELF?
I think it is absurd, ridiculous and vain to
think we
are so important that we
are needed to direct traffic into the Kingdom!
(Just my thought on that subject)
The
scriptures tell us we are ALL judged. On this
page I'm talking about the initial judgement that
allows us to be changed in a twinkling...
those who died in Christ are
immediately resurrected upon
His return. Sounds to me like we have already
been judged, daily... by our lifestyle... by
repenting and asking forgiveness. Each act of
kindness or sin, each minute, each hour, each
day.... Developing into that "New
Creature".... that spiritual being that has
acquired the "Spiritual Physique"
required to transcend.
This
law, God's laws of physics is what determines
which door we enter into eternity... The Kingdom
of God or that "other" place.
It
appears to be a matter of development: as surely
as His laws allow a caterpillar to change into a
butterfly or the seed from a man (when combined
with the egg of the woman) allows a human to
develop. Such are HIS laws! HIS laws, which
govern these miracles that we witness everyday,
should be PROOF that the same laws determine our
type of spiritual being after physical death.
Seems
to me it's pretty important to "do
right" and work hard, ask HIM to allow you
to become "Saved" <>
"Born-Again" <>
"Begotten" <> However you choose
to refer to the act becoming Christ-like and
allowed to achieve the "spiritual
physique" required to transcend.
I
hope this helps you understand that the New Age
doctrine, which wrongly teaches that "God is
love" and will not punish us for a failed
lifestyle is a half-truth; a half-truth that may
keep a lot of people from achieving that
spiritual-state-of-being which will allow them to
transcend.
Now,
if you think you are safe because your church
isn't classified as "New-Age" be
afraid, be very afraid, because many churches
teach the new-age doctrine and don't know the
difference! Remember? Jesus said on that day of
judgment MANY will say, "Lord, I cast out
demons in your name," and Jesus will reply,
"Depart from me, I never knew you."
This verse alone should be proof enough that
there are churches that teach a false Jesus,
misleading well-intentioned people through false
doctrine. You may want to read the series on this
site that deals with the churches who teach a
false doctrine. I repeat myself... Jesus said on that day of
judgment MANY will say, "Lord, I
cast out demons in your name," and Jesus
will reply, "Depart from me, I never knew
you." The simple fact that they were being
judged tells you that they did not
make it into the kingdom.
(After
finishing this page, check out the link: So, You Want To
Be A Christian)
SUMMATION:
God doesn't punish us. Those who don't make
it simply did not comply with the process... The
process of God's law of spiritual physics, which
is taught us through the word of God and through
the Holy Spirit which enters into us and a new
creature is born, much like the transition of the
butterfly. God's law of spiritual physics is
required for us to achieve the state-of-being
that allows us to transcend.
Consider
this: I believe that if a person's name was
written in the book of life the Holy Spirit will
enter that person and transform them. Some could
and should suggest that there is contradiction
here... yes, I believe there is room for
consideration, according to what we know - but
remember - God is far too complex for us to think
that mere mortals should understand everything.
Remember, Jesus compared those of us who trust
HIM with "little children." Meaning
that little children trust without having
complete understanding. It's a heart felt thing,
called love... DIVINE LOVE.
It's
a matter of physics, ask any scientist: "The
laws of physics are true and will not bend!"
I
would not like to try to understand this page
without the help of The Holy Spirit. I just write
what He gives me, it's up to the reader to
comprehend and act. I respectfully suggest you do
it as I do it, with help from the Holy Spirit
through prayer. Time is wasting and we are all
running out of it! Maybe it's time to get
started? YOU SEE - TODAY IS JUDGEMENT DAY.

Friend,
