(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)
