The story of creation of heaven and earth

 (2) The story of creation of heaven and earth

I am curious about the relationship between man who was banished from the garden of Eden and angels was banished from the kingdom of God. 

Human beings are composed of body and spirit and soul. Many people think spirit and soul as mind. But there are spirit and soul. The spirit is that God put in the body, the soul is formed from the body.

There are three theories about the spirit God put in the body. First theory, the spirit was the spirit of the angel who was in the kingdom of God. The angel sinned and the angel's clothes were stripped off. The naked spirit was trapped in the body. So everyone is a sinner to God.

Second theory, the spirit was inherited from the parent. If the spirit is inherited from the parent, sin will also be inherited. Jesus has no sin because he is the Son of God. If the spirit is inherited, the sins of the mother of Jesus are also inherited. We can not explain it in second theory. Today, the church teaches the theory of original sin that is Inherited from a parent.

Third theory, God puts the spirit when the body is born. The spirits that are created by God are clean. Man is a sinner from birth. The spirit came into the body and became dirty in theory.

Of the three theories, the theory that explains human sin reasonably is the first theory. The human spirit is the spirit of a sinned angel. But most churches do not accept this theory. Most churches believe the creation of the spirit and the theory of original sin that is inherited from a parent. Many churches simultaneously believe the theory of inheritance of sin and of the creation of the spirit. If the spirit is inherited, the sins of the mother of Jesus are also inherited. We can not explain it in second theory. And the spirits that are created by God are clean. Man is a sinner from birth. The spirit came into the body and became dirty in theory. Humans can argue that they have not sinned directly, God put the clean spirit in body, despite of God knows that human beings is to be sinners when human being is born. Nevertheless many churches deny the first theory. Many churches insist that the events in God's kingdom and the garden of Eden are different.

It is not easy to explain the content of three theories. But if you think in terms of a sinner, the first is the most reasonable. Human beings are trapped in the prison as the world and humans are dressed as a body. If anyone analyze the creation of heaven and earth based on the first theory, It will be a little different with heaven and earth created beautifully. Heaven means the Kingdom of God, and the earth means the material world. The material world was created in darkness, because God has blocked the light of the kingdom of God.『In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.』(Genesis1:1-2) This world is a place like prison. God made the body to put the spirit of sin. The first human was born in the same place as darkness. But God created the garden of Eden to restore the kingdom of God. And he moved man to the garden of Eden from the world. 

But humans were tempted by satan's temptations in the garden of Eden as a many angels had been tempted by satan in the kingdom of God.『Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.』(Genesis3:23) Humans again entered the world of darkness. The king of this world is satan. satan said to Jesus the fact as the king of this world.

『And in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.』(John 16:11) The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.『And he said to him, "I will give you all their authority and splendor, for it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to.』(Luke 4:5-6)

This world is a sinful world. This world is a place full of darkness that Satan rules before Jesus comes to this world. Everyone is trapped in darkness. The prophet Isaiah said that『to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.』(Isaiah 42:7) Jesus gives prisoners freedom from prison.

Man was trapped in darkness. So they do not know about the kingdom of God. It means blindness to the kingdom of God. They did not know about the kingdom of God, so the spirit died. Jesus came to save the dead spirit. And so it is written,『the first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.』(1 Corinthians 15:45)

『But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.』(1 Corinthians 15:20-21) Anyone who has entered into Jesus is raised to the dead spirit. The revived spirit will be recorded in the book of the kingdom of God although the body is in the world. If the body dies, the spirit will wear the clothes of the kingdom of God. 『Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.』(2 Corinthians5:1) Jesus explains the state of the spirit.『At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.』(Matthew 22:30)

The tradition of the elders

  The tradition of the elders   Mark 7:5-9  『 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands? He answered and said to them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 』 In the Galilee region, Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem came to Jesus. They came with accusations against Jesus. This is because Jesus' disciples neglected washing their hands, a Jewish ritual of purification. They called it  “ the tradition of the elders. ”  The Jewish leaders ...

Question 32. How is the grace of God manifested in the second covenant?

  Question 32. How is the grace of God manifested in the second covenant? Answer. The grace of God is manifested in the second covenant, in his free provision and offering to sinners of mediation, and of life and salvation by it; and by requiring faith as the condition of their entering into a relationship with Christ, the mediator; and by promising and giving the Holy Spirit to all his elect, he works faith in them, with all other saving graces, and enables them to do all holy obedience; which obedience is a true evidence of their faith and gratitude to God, or the way which God hath appointed for their salvation. If we divide God's covenant into two for convenience, the covenant that appears in the Old Testament is called the first covenant, and the covenant that appears in the New Testament through Jesus Christ is called the second covenant. Luke 22:15-16 “ And he said to them, ‘ I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will n...

Healing a man with a withered hand

  Healing a man with a withered hand Mark 3:1-5 『 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand. And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day; that they might accuse him. And he said unto the man which had the withered hand, stand forth. And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace. And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other. 』 The Greek word for “ the man which had the withered hand ” is “ ἐ ξηραμμέ νην ἔ χων τ ὴ ν χε ῖ ρα” . In Revelation 14:15, “ And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; “ Exerande ” is the same wor...
