THE SPIRITUAL CHURCH
UNITY & UNIFORMITY IN ONENESS
Mar_12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
The Spiritual Church was Ordained Before the Foundation of the World.
Eph_1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Rev_13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Heb_12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Col_1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
Mat_13:35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
JESUS CHRIST taught the Unity & Uniformity of Being At One with the FATHER.
Joh_10:30 I and my Father are one.
HE also spoke of Believers Being At One with GOD the FATHER through HIM.
Joh_14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Joh 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

THE DIVINE PLAN – PHASE 1 (CREATION)
The >> Divine Plan << was Decreed from “Eternity” before the Foundation of the World. It was initiated on the Earthly Sphere at >> Creation. << The first recorded incidence of Oneness was when the >> GODHEAD << was involved in the Act of Creation. GOD often begins a great “Work” with “One”.
At Creation GOD Decreed, “Let US make “Man” in OUR Image“. When Adam was created he was “One”.
Gen 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.
Gen 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
The next “Creation” was Eve who was Created from the “One” (Adam’s rib). Adam was not reduced he remained as One. Eve was made and she was One. Through the Sanctity of Marriage the two (2) became as “One” (1). The Marriage was the second Emblem of Oneness recorded in the Bible. Mankind (Adam and Eve) was given a Commandment to Obey which was – “not to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Adam was told Disobedience would result in the suffering of Sin and the Curse of Sin which is Death (Pain, Alienation/Separation from GOD and all that is Holy).
Gen 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Gen 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
APOSTASY
Apostasy is an Abandonment of what one has Professed; a total Desertion, or Departure from one’s Faith or Religion. Mankind sinned in >> Unbelief and Disobedience << (Apostasy) and lost their Paradisaical home (Garden of Eden – Paradise) which was in the “Presence of GOD”. Man had become Impure and Corrupted through the Violation of GOD’S Commandment. He was Polluted, Vitiated, and could no longer remain At One with GOD.
THE GRAND DESIGN – PHASE II.
At this point in Time, GOD Revealed the >> Grand Design of Separation, (Phase II) << the continuation of the >> Divine Plan (Phase I). << It was not as a afterthought but the Adjunct to Phase I. The Revelation was the Prophecy of the Congregation/the Church (the Kingdom of GOD on Earth), the Promised Seed and its “Spiritual Head” – JESUS CHRIST, the Word, >> the Son and Lamb of GOD. << The Prophecy is found in Genesis 3:14 – 3:15 foretelling of the >> Everlasting Gospel of GOD/Heaven << depicting the Savior coming into a Lost World to Save it.
Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Gen 3:23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
Gen 3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
SIN SEPARATES MAN FROM GOD
Mankind had willfully turned away from the >> Divine Will of GOD. << In Consequence they were Cast out/Exiled from the Garden of Eden into the Wilderness (the World). When Adam sinned, it began the Descent of Mankind. When Eve had her first and second child they too were from the One and all three of them developed and retained their own Oneness with Adam as the Seminal Head of the Family and the Progenitor of the Human Race. But they were no longer At One with GOD. They were Separated from HIM and Spiritually Dead in Sin.
In time the Descendants of Adam and Eve Descended further and this lead to the the Two Kingdoms on Earth and the >> Two Divisions of Mankind <<. GOD put Enmity (Hostility/Hatred) between the Two Kingdoms, between the two >> Rulers of the Kingdoms, << and between the Citizens of each Kingdom to prevent Pollution of the Regenerates by the Degenerates.
Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
One Kingdoms has its origin from Heaven and the other from Hell. The Citizens of the Kingdoms are the Seed of the CHRIST and the other the Seed of the serpent (the devil/Satan) spoken of in Genesis 3:15:
- the Kingdom of the Church whose Ruler is JESUS CHRIST, the Son of GOD (origin – is Heaven)
- the Kingdom of the World/Wilderness whose Ruler is Satan, (the devil/serpent) (origin is Hell)
The Citizens of the Two Kingdoms are:
- The Believers – under the Rule of CHRIST – The Kingdom of GOD/Heaven
- The Unbelievers – under the Rule of the devil/(Satan) – The Kingdom of the World.
The first two Citizens of the Opposing Kingdoms documented in the Bible are Cain and Abel. Cain was a Carnal Sinful Man who became a Murderer. Abel was, as cited by CHRIST as being “Righteous” and cited by Paul as Righteous and Faithful.
Mankind was Exiled after his Sin and could not find the “Right Way” to Life; he had no “Right Purpose” without GOD’S HOLY SPIRIT/GHOST for Guidance and like sheep they went astray, led by a Deceiver and Adversary through >> the Carnal Deception. <<
THE CARNAL DECEPTION
The First Family was the beginning of the Carnal Human Race on Earth, Mankind/Separated from GOD. Adam had lost his Spirituality by listening to Eve who was Beguiled/Deceived by the serpent, the devil who Deceives the whole World through his Lies.
Rev_12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Joh_8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Rev_12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
SIN SEPARATES MAN FROM GOD
Through >> Unbelief and Disobedience << Adam lost his Holiness, the At – Oneness with GOD through the Curse of Sin and Death. He and his Progeny (the entire Human Race was Dead in Sin and Separated from GOD because all Human beings are from the “One” (Adam). Sin had Corrupted the “Oneness” and Mankind’s World became all Corruption. The Corruption was made Manifest in the Separation of Man from GOD’S Presence in Paradise and in the first Generation when Cain killed his brother Abel after Satan influenced his Carnal Mind against his brother using the tools of his satanic trade – Pride, Envy, Anger and Jealousy.
Satan first influenced Adam to sentence his entire Progeny to death through the Apostasy (Sin) which is one of the reasons why JESUS CHRIST called the devil (Satan) “a liar and a murderer from the beginning”. Later he influenced a Man (Cain) to commit Murder. Satan continues to blind the Minds of Unbelievers through the Carnal belief structure of the World which is the >> “Carnal Deception” (1-6) << | >> the Unbelief in GOD & HIS Law/Reality. << | >> Also see Relationship & Relativity. <<
Joh_8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
2Co_4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Thanks be to GOD the Narrative of the History of Mankind continues as >> CHRIST destroys the works of the devil << and will eventually destroy him completely and Mankind is Born Again Evolving to be the Image of CHRIST who is the Express Image and Firstborn of GOD the FATHER.
Rom_8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
2Co_3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Col 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Col 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
Col 1:19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
Heb_1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
