#1 Genesis Revised: Delivered in the Fall?
In the beginning … God created … The Genesis story is the account of creation by the One God who is declared as the One and Only God who would subsequently reveal Himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; the God of Israel. In this primary people and nation, the God of creation would unfold His purpose and plan according to His good purpose to redeem those who had fallen and corrupted themselves, cutting themselves off from the very source of life and light. For God is love and He that loves dwells in God and God in them.
Through Adam, through Moses, through the prophets, and the Messiah God would exegete, declare, and demonstrate His loving purpose, and His holiness. To make known His chesed (graciousness, compassion, and mercy), while also vindicating and upholding His Law (standard of righteousness for the mutual well-being and shalom of all His subjects) and offer complete remission of sins with a proviso – That all who would receive this gracious amnesty must put their trust in Messiah to be delivered from the curse of the Law (the death to the sinner that the Law requires – for without the Law sin cannot be held to account), grafted back into Life and reconciled to God by means of the atonement and through the continuing sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit the redeemed would be conformed to Messiah’s likeness – from faith to faith.
This represents the characterization of the God of creation and His heart toward man according to the Spirit as recorded in the holy scriptures by His servant Moses, the Prophets, and the Apostles whom Christ appointed according to the Father’s will. Howbeit, there is another reckoning or account of this story which we will now disclose as that primal myth and monomyth of gnosis so-called. You see, the rebel and his allies are the hero of our story and the monomyth is all about the hero’s journey. A secret knowledge is brought to man by Lucifer, his alleged liberator. Another gospel is propounded, one that regards the God of creation as a tyrant and oppressor and salvation as the revelation of man’s intrinsic eternality and deity. You see, man was held prisoner by this god who was deluded to think that he was alone the sovereign of all. For he, according to this myth was the offspring of an abortive force and came later to be regarded as ‘the blind god’, hidden by his mother from the other immortals, he descended and formed and created all the material universe. His mother Sophia was torn and split seeking to right this wrong she seeks to bring man the light of truth and by means of the serpent reveals the clever subterfuge and lies of the cruel demiurge.
Thus, the scriptural account is inverted. The loving God of creation is maligned and vilified as the evil one and Lucifer is regarded as the benevolent and the wise who seeks man’s good and well-being. Lucifer dons the appellations of: The god above God, Ein Soph, The Parent or Bythos, The One, the monad of Monoimus.
An entire secret cosmology is then fabricated to usurp that which belongs to El Shaddai, The Almighty, YHWH, who alone is Elohim and Theos and dwells in unapproachable light. From the One, according to this heresy, progressively emanates these “lesser beings” or Aeons that comprise syszygies (or pairs) of the divine-essence. Together, with the Source from which these Aeons emanate, they form the Pleroma, or fullness of their god.
Salvation then merely consists of the revelation of one’s intrinsic eternality and deity. It is the realization that we are ‘all one’ with the divine, a part of the world-soul, that divine singularity. There exists no holiness, no sin, no redemption – there is only ignorance and illumination.
There is no identity, no individuality, only an emergent consciousness with no grounding for truth and a symbiotic blurring of the creator and creature distinction. We in god, as being god, in the illusion illumined, and awakened as the becoming god. If that sounds like double-speak, that is because it is. This monomyth is just that, a Luciferian myth that permeates these false paths to apotheosis. Each may define the way and or method of reaching this illumination or enlightenment differently but the distortion, recriminating, and slander of the true God is at it’s essential core.
Lucifer has in myth told, and retold his narcissistic and grandiose fantasy .. to be like the Most High. He has created many gods with himself as the supreme deity and maligned the creator who is indeed above all; the God who is love and has created us in His image and likeness. In seeking to corrupt this image, pollute the seed, and in vying for man’s allegiance, he has turned men from ultimate trust in YHWH to trust in creation, themselves, and mammon. Lucifer’s strategy has proven hugely successful over the masses and in it’s subtlety is in the midst of the congregations of the righteous, like a toxic cloud, and poisonous bio-film seeking to light on the foliage of the garden of God’s planting.
Many are asleep, lulled into complacency by entertainment, media, and self-indulgence. The fruit looks pleasing to the eye and desirable to make one wise. The spirit of antichrist is vigorously at work in the sons of disobedience, that Lawless one is ready to appear, for the final shape of his ethos is emerging. It is merely a repackaged lie that has been from the beginning. The fall held no deliverance but was indeed a fall that necessitated YHWH himself in the fullness of time to ‘manifest in flesh’ and redeem those sold into slavery. Man was not delivered from the garden but expelled from it. Cast out from intimate fellowship with His creator and enslaved to the deceitfulness of pride and self-worship. Truly the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom and with eyes to see – we can stand back and discern the inverted and upside down world of the Luciferian gnostic paradigm.
Were we delivered in the fall? Let us respond decisively and emphatically – No, but we were sold in chains and cut off from the presence of the LORD who loves us.
If there is a mystery or secret knowledge (gnosis) that holds eternal truth it is in this revelation of the righteous and gracious love of God. Howbeit, by contrast it is not done in secret BUT was a secret to the hostile powers arrayed against us. To evil it was unthinkable, unfathomable – the depths of God’s righteous love in action. In His self disclosure unto death to deliver us who had sold ourselves to sin , death , and the devil. We who were enemies of God. To us, He came and condemned sin in His own body, destroyed the enmity the adversary sought to place between us and has made peace between man and Himself by the blood of His cross. Whosoever will may come and receive reconciliation unto life everlasting!
God’s revelation declares…
3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching [was] not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, [even] the hidden [wisdom], which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known [it], they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. – 1 Cor 2:3-9
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption [for us]. 13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? – Heb 9:12-14 12
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God [which is] by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, [I say], at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. – Rom 3:21-26
1 [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. – Rom 8:1-4
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. – Rom. 5:8
17 Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. – 2 Cor. 5:17-21
Oh! how He loves us. Believe it!
Now you are seeing rightly.
