GOD IS ALL PERCEPTIVE

• Ps. 1392. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine
  uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
  3. Thou compassest my path and my lying down,
  and art acquainted with all my ways. 4. For
  there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O
  Lord, thou knowest it altogether. 5. Thou hast
  beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand
  upon me.
• 6. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me it
  is high, I cannot attain unto it. 7. Whither
  shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I
  flee from thy presence? 8. If I ascend up into
  heaven, thou art there if I make my bed in hell,

The invisible lies at the end of the visible
THE EYE IS LIMITED TO ITS MAXIMUM RANGE THEREFORE
MAN CANNOT REDUCE GOD TO ITS LIMITS
At the end of the visible is the spiritual---
God 2 COR. 122 THE THIRD HEAVEN
After 1930 PLUTO
Before 1930??
After Hubble??
6
God Spoke the Worlds into existence.

• THE only true BIG BANG..
• GOD COMMANDED IT AND BANG IT WAS THERE

7
TWO FAQS

• How old is the earth?
• Adam and Eve were created as adults which means
  God could have created all things in a mature
  state whereby all would be mere speculation to
  try to determine.
• How long were the days? Scripture seems to
  indicate that they were 24 hour days. But also in
  some places yom seems to mean a period of time
  (Gen. 51)

8
LEARN THE MEANING OF GODS REST ON THE 7TH DAY.

• 6th day closed with all things very good.
• 1. Perfect creation resulted in
• A. Perfect obedience to the word of God
• B. Perfect health and happiness of life
• 2. ALL SYSTEMS WERE GO FOR MAN TO LIVE
  ETERNALLY WITH GOD.
• THIS SABBATH IS THE PERFECT HARMONY OF MAN
  DWELLING WITH HIS CREATOR.
• IT WILL BE SANCTIFIED AND REMAIN A LIGHT IN THE
  DARKNESS AFTER THE FALL.
• OBEDIENCE TO GOD WILL EVENTUALLY RETURN MAN TO
  THIS ETERNAL SABBATH IN THE SPIRIT.

9
HOW CAN SUCH PERFECTION OF THE CREATION CONTINUE
IN RELATION TO GOD?

• THE LIFE, HAPPINESS LAW ARE SEEN IN THE REST OF
  THE SABBATH
• God is self existing because he abides in His
  character.He abides because He chooses always to
  walk in the light of holiness. This is the secret
  of eternal lifefor God and His creation.
• Giving man life with a free will, God lovingly
  reveals to him the source (law) of happiness
  eternal life and the danger of death if this law
  is broken

10
MAN

• All creation to the 6th day was an act of Divine
  grace in preparation to his supreme work man.
• Man was supreme because God created him in his
  own image and all others were to be his
  offspring.
• ACTS 1726. and he made of one every nation of
  men to dwell on all the face of the earth,
• Ps. 84 What is man, that thou art mindful of
  him?
• Such thoughts generates such questions as 1)
  Why did God create man? 2) what is his nature?
  3) Why are there two accounts of creation in
  Genesis?

11
God Refutes Satans Accusation that He is
unloving by demonstrating His love in Creation
and all History

• The unfolding of history since creation is a
  revelation that God is holy and love (Jno. 48)
• The creation of man was an act of love. Giving
  them life, happiness and dominion in a heaven on
  earth. (Gen. 126-27) This was placed before
  Satan that Elohim was exactly what he claimed to
  be ---LOVE.
• Even when he would sin, God knew man would need
  his love. So, before the creation He planned to
  send his Son. (I Pet. 118-20 Rev. 138 Eph.
  14)

12
Why Give Them A Choice of Sin?Because eternal
life is determined by character..no choice, no
character.

• Eternal life-a quality of loveis offered man by
  a choice based on faith motivated by love in
  Gods promise of it (Gal. 56).
• The entire history of mankind justifies God as
  being a God of love and grace in actionthat the
  fruit of the spirit is Life eternal and that the
  fruit of sin is death. At the end, all history
  will be a demonstration that God is just in his
  judgment to cast all those who chose sin and
  death in a place of destruction with the
  originators of sin, Satan and his followers.
  (Rev. 2010)

13
WHY HAVE LAW? BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE

• Eternal law exists regarding life and death.
• CHOICE can be made for either, thus proving
  character.
• This demanded a prohibited tree.
• The Law of life is older than the universe. The
  angels broke the law of life in heaven.
• Gods revelation of the law of life and death was
  his warning of love to man to prevent him to
  avoid the pitfalls of suffering and death.
• Law is for mans ultimate happiness.
• Society would be chaos without law.

14
THE CROWNING VICTORY OF LOVE

• In his hatred of Gods character, Satan uses sin
  to destroy the crowning creation of Gods love--
  The human race. He would then use sinful man to
  murder the Son of God.
• But love conquers with something Satans depraved
  mind could not comprehendGod love gave His Sons
  life for the life of all who accept Gods grace
  through faith.

15
Thus, Gods love joins the gift of Grace with the
Faith of Man to save a soul from sin

• Eph. 28-9 8. for by grace have ye been saved
  through faith and that not of yourselves, it is
  the gift of God
• Gods gift must be accepted by faith. Note
  Pauls demonstration of how this is done ACTS
  2216. And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be
  baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on his
  name.
• John 1934 Rev. 15 Rom. 63-4

16
GOD WILL BE SEEN AS LOVE AND JUST AT THE FINAL
JUDGMENT.

• FIGURATIVELY AT THE JUDGMENT
• I Cor. 15 All the dead shall be raised before
  the presence of God, both believers and Satans
  followers
• All history will have proved that Jehovah is
  love and entirely fair
• ALL BELIEVERS who have suffered will affirm this
• UNBELIEVERS WILL BE WITHOUT AN EXCUSE (Mt.
  2211-14 201-16 2514-30 LK. 1911-27
• HISTORY WILL HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT GOD IS LOVE
• MAN WILL THEN BE PLACED IN HEAVEN WHERE ALL
  TEMPTATIONS ARE GONE FOREVER., Satan and
  followers will be punished eternally. Rev. 218

17
REFLECTIONS ABOUT ADAM AND EVE.

• BOTH had imparted to them THE Spirit of Elohim,
  in Gods image, I.e. clean/pure. Made a living
  soul, a being. Each had a mind..intellect,
  insight into their experiences in Eden.
• Each had emotionswants, wishes, desires.
• Before the fall, they only desired God and life
• Each had a conscience, though dormant while
  innocent. Activated by disobedience.
• Each had eternal life on a conditional basis.
  The conditions being the basic essential of
  lifeobedience to the word of life, Gods word,
  THE KEY TO PERPETUAL HAPPINESS
• None ever again like them. They began as adults.
• THINGS WE DONT KNOW ABOUT THEM How long they
  were in Eden before the fall. Aging began at the
  sentence of death.

18
GOD IS THE WAY OF LIFE, THEREFORE HIS CHARACTER
IS THE LAW OF LIFE

• GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE BECAUSE HE ABIDES BY THE LAW
  OF HIMSELF WHICH MUST NEVER BE BROKEN.
• GOD DESIRED MAN TO ENJOY ETERNAL LIFE THEREFORE
  BY GRACE HE REVEALS THE RUDIMENTARY LAW OF LIFE
  TO THEM TRUST HIS WORD, NEVER DISOBEY IT .
• THIS IS NOT FOR HIS DIVINE EGO, IT IS FOR MANS
  GOOD LIKE WE DO WITH CHILDREN

19
ELOHIM REVEALS THE ELEMENTARY LAW OF LIFE AND
DEATH TO MAN.
DT. 3019. I call heaven and earth to record
this day against you, that I have set before you
life and death, blessing and cursing therefore
choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live
OBEDIENCE, THE FRUIT OF LIFE
DISOBEDIENCE, THE FRUIT OF DEATH
THIS IS REPRESENTED BY CHOOSING THE FRUIT OF TWO
TREES. THE ONE DESIGNATED AS BEARING THE FRUIT
OF LIFE AND T HE OTHER THE FRUIT OF DEATHWHICH
MEANS ONLY ---LOVE GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS
TO LIVE, ---OR CHOOSE OTHERWISE AND SUFFER AND
DIE. God gave the law of life in extreme
simplicity . Man may not understand, but he can
obey. Same with children and electricity.
20
JESUS DEMONSTRATED THAT THE WAY OF HOLINESS
LOVE IS THE WAY OF LIFE

• John 11 In the beginning was the Word, and the
  word was God.
• John 14. In him (the Word) was life and the
  life was the light of men.
• 15. If ye love me, keep my commandments.
• ONE IS ONLY FEIGNING LOVE FOR JESUS IF HE
  SECRETLY OPPOSES ANY PART OF HIS WORD OF LIFE

21
WHY DID MAN MAKE SUCH A FOOLISH DECISION? HE WAS
DECEIVED

• IT NEVER ENTERED MANS HEART TO SIN (DISOBEYMISS
  THE MARK) ON HIS OWN. HE HAD DIABOLICAL HELP.
• IS THIS WHY MAN RECEIVED GRACE IN HIS FALL, WHILE
  THE DEVIL AND HIS ANGELS DID NOT IN THEIR
  REBELLION AGAINST DIVINE AUTHORITY?

22
Where did Satan come from? Satan means adversary.
Devil means slanderer or accuser

• REV. 127. And there was war in heaven Michael
  and his angels fought against the dragon and the
  dragon fought and his angels,
• 8. And prevailed not neither was their place
  found any more in heaven.
• 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.

23
THE FALL Forearm yourself with this knowledge

• 1. Temptation comes like a serpent in
  unsuspected forms
• Subtly, stealing slowly and quietly, waiting for
  your weakest moment, and then bites with pain
  and sorrow.
• 2. It launches a bridgehead in your heart by
  exciting your curiosity
• Curiosity killed the Cat
• Our greatest security against sin lies in our
  being shocked by it. (Jer. 615)
• 3. Eve was in close proximity to the forbidden.
• She gazed and reflected when she should have fled

24
THE FALL Forearm yourself with this knowledge

• 4. There are dangerous cravings in its elements.
• Instinctively draws toward the mysterious. One
  veiled figure in an assembly will draw more
  attention than the most beautiful present. An
  unaccountable appearance in the heavens will draw
  more attention than the most beautiful sunset.
• 5. Through cravings to be mature, even at the
  expense of danger, unbelief disobedience finds
  entrance
• 6. Experience teaches that one taste of evil
  ruined our first parents. One taste alters
  attitudes.
• Loyalty to to God is loosened, man loses spirit.

25
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE PRESENCE OF THE FORBIDDEN.

• 1. AS SHE GAZED AT ITS BEAUTY, , SHE LONGED IN
  HER HEART, SHE WAS WEAKENED BY CRAVING
• 2, THEN SHE SAW AN INCREDIBLE THING THAT SEEMED
  TO MAKE GOD FALSE. A SERPENT DEVOURED THE
  FORBIDDEN FRUIT WITHOUT ANY HARM.
• 4. SHE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND THISHAD GOD BEEN
  COMPLETELY TRUE?
• 5. THE DEVIL USES THE MOMENT SPEAKS TO HER
  HEARTS DESIRE.

26
The Serpents Seed is Sown in Eves Heart

• 1. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God
  said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the
  garden?
• Inferred God has not been fair with you

27
Eves Reply Shows her Resentment and
VulnerabilityShes a sitting duck for Satan, an
accident waiting to happen.

• Gen. 32. And the woman said unto the serpent,
  We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the
  garden
• 3. But of the fruit of the tree which is in the
  midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not
  eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

28
THE FIRST LIE IN THE WORLD WAS NOT TOLD BY MAN

• 4. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye
  shall not surely die
• GOD HAD SAID 217. 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.

29
JESUS REFERS TO THIS IN JOHN 844

• 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.
• 45. And because I tell you the truth, ye
  believe me no

30
SATAN STILL PERVERTS WITH THE NOT IN HIS TALE.

• JESUS MARK 1616
• HE THAT BELIEVETH AND IS BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED.
• SATAN HE THAT BELIEVETH AND IS NOT BAPTIZED
  SHALL BE SAVED.

31
OBSERVE ANOTHER NOT IN THE DEVILS TALE TODAY

• THE BIBLE SAYS
• I Cor. 1012. Wherefore let him that thinketh he
  standeth take heed lest he fall.
• SATANS NOT
• YOU CAN NOT SURELY FALL.

32
THE SERPENTS APPEAL TO PRIDE

• 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.
• EXPERIENCING THE AFTERMATH EFFECT OF EVIL WAS THE
  KNOWLEDGE GOD DID NOT WANT THEM TO EVER KNOW.
• A common feeling of parents today with their
  children.

33
Eve is overpowered by craving and succumbs to the
temptation.

• 3 6. And when the woman
• 1) saw that the tree was good for food (she
  walked by sight not by faith and became
  convinced that God had lied) (2 Cor. 57)
  
• 2) and that it was pleasant to the eyes,
  
• 3) and a tree to be desired to make one wise,
  
  
• 4) She took of the fruit thereof.

34
THE NEW KNOWLEDGE ---WAS EXPERIENCING THE
EFFECT OF SIN. WHY DIDNT THEY CLAP THEIR HANDS
IN JOY?

• 1. THE NEW KNOWLEDGE WAS NOT WHAT THE COUPLE
  EXPECTED
• 2. EXPECTED SUFFICIENCY WITHOUT GOD
• 3. EXPECTED THE DISCOVERY OF A MYSTERY
• 4. EXPECTED TO BE EQUAL WITH GOD IN WISDOM

35
THE INNOCENT, HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE NEW
EXPERIENCE OF SIN BRINGS

• THE SCARS THAT SIN WOULD BRING TO THEM!
• THEIR INNOCENCE WAS GONE, GONE, GONE
• THAT THEY HAD A CONSCIENCE THAT WOULD DOG THEM IN
  THE NIGHT FOR THE REST OF LIFE.
• FEELING DEFILED AND UNCLEAN, AFRAID OF THE
  PRESENCE OF THE HOLINESS OF GOD.
• THINGS WOULD NEVER, NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.
• THAT IN THEIR NEW DEFILEMENT THEY WOULD FORFEIT
  THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
• THEIR LOSS WAS AWESOME TO BEAR. SEPARATION FROM
  THE TREE OF LIFE.

36
The knowledge God did not want them (man) to ever
Have.

• PHYSICAL PAIN AND SUFFERING
• A BROKEN FAMILY LIFESEEING THEIR SON MURDER HIS
  BROTHER
• EMOTIONAL PAIN AND SUFFERING
• THE EFFECTS OF SIN IN AGING THE BODY AND DEATH
  ARE ALWAYS A THREAT
• THE FEELING OF A GULF AND DISTANCE FROM GOD.

37
Consequences of the fall.

• 1. Eyes were opened. ---Gen. 37. And the eyes
  of them both were openedthe new knowledge came
  and brought
• 2. Knowledge of guilt shame. They knew they
  were naked (loss of innocence) and they sewed
  fig leaves together, and made themselves
  aprons---Even still, criminals cover their faces
  before the camera
• 3. Neither wanted to accept responsibility for
  their sin.
• MAN CANNOT COVER HIS SIN WITH FLIMSY EXCUSES
  BEFORE GOD'S ALL SEEING EYE.

38
IN THE WAKE OF SIN. GODS LOVE PROMISES GRACE IN
THE PROTOEVANGELION

• 315. THE OLDEST GOSPEL
• 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.
• HERE WE HAVE
• 1. HER SEEDVIRGIN BIRTH
• 2. BRUISE THY HEAD..DEFEAT OF SATAN
• 3. BRUISE HIS HEEL..SUFFERING SAVIOR.

39
ADEQUATE COVERING FOR THEIR NEW CONSCIENCE OF
NAKEDNESS WAS THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD OF AN
INNOCENT ANIMALTHEIR FIRST EXPERIENCE OF A DEATH

• 321. Unto Adam also and to his wife did the
  Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
• 1. Self covering was inadequate
• 2. Blood was shed and death occurred
• 3. Rom. 323 The wages of sin is death.
• 4. Sin is awesome in its effects on society.

40
THE EXCOMMUNICATION FROM EDEN AND THE GULF THAT
SIN CREATES BETWEEN GOD AND MAN

• 322 And now, lest he put forth his hand, and
  take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live
  for ever 23. Therefore the Lord God sent him
  forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground
  from whence he was taken.
• 324. 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.

41
WHERE IS THE TREE OF LIFE NOW?

• Rev. 27. He that hath an ear, let him hear what
  the Spirit saith unto the churches To him that
  overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of
  life, which is in the midst of the paradise of
  God.
• Rev. 2214. Blessed are they that do his
  commandments, that they may have right to the
  tree of life, and may enter in through the gates
  into the city.

42
TO RETURN TO THE TREE OF LIFE ONE MUST BE SLAIN
BY THE SWORD OF GODS WORD.

• GEN. 324 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.
• 12. For the word of God is quick, and powerful,
  and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing
  even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,
  and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner
  of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

43
WHEN ONE BELIEVES THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD
RAISED FROM THE DEAD IT IS SAID THAT HE IS CUT
TO THE HEART) . i.e. SPIRITUALLY SLAIN (REPENTS
IN SORROW)

• ACTS 237. Now when they heard this, they were
  pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and
  to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren,
  what shall we do?
• Matthew 54 Blessed are they that mourn for
  they shall be comforted.
• Rom. 67. For he that is dead is freed from
  sin.
• 8. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe
  that we shall also live with him

44
THE SWORD (GOSPEL) PIERCES THE HEART, SLAYING THE
SINNER, AND THEN HE IS BURIED WITH CHRIST IN
BAPTISM

• 4. Therefore we are buried with him by baptism
  into death that like as Christ was raised up
  from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so
  we also should walk in newness of life.
• 5. For if we have been planted together in the
  likeness of his death, we shall be also in the
  likeness of his resurrection
• 6. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified
  with him, that the body of sin might be
  destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve
  sin.
• 7. For he that is dead is freed from sin.
