I think God revealed to me by allowing me to understand why God created the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The answer is free will. For free will to exist there must be choice to obey or not obey Gods word. Lucifer became evil because the moment God let go of Lucifer evil was found in him because evil is to do the opposite of the will of God. The moment God let go Lucifer had the opportunity to decide to serve Gods glory or his own. Lucifer commuted the first sin without doing anything except thinking of his own glory over Gods and then chose to pursue his own glory became God made him so beautiful and powerful. Lucifer conveniences other angels to do the same. So with man God walked with Adam and Eve in the garden. When God wasn’t there and let go of them as he did when he let go of Lucifer he let go of all creation so it may exist with entropy. So it may exist without direct intervention of God. He created everything and let go to allow it to exist and function. The tree of knowledge was placed there so man had to be given the choice of free will to glorify God or glorify himself. Lucifer tricked Eve? Lucifer asked Eve the same question he asked himself. Shall I glorify God or myself. The tree had to be there for free will to exist. The stain of sun had to happen as a consequence because that it’s the logical reaction to knowing good and evil with having free will. So God had to reconcile that with man by sacrifice his only son. His blood covers us with his righteousness. And we decide to honor and glorify God by doing what God instructs through the words of Jesus or we do not and continue to glorify ourselves which what we do is sinful because we do it for ourselves and not God. That’s why we need Jesus and pray constantly and repent because we chose to acknowledge Gods glory over our own. Repeatedly of course so we are in a constant state of falling away from God and coming back to him. But as long as we believe in Jesus we believe in his words and we live by those words which grant eternal life. But Jesus knows Whats really in our hearts if we have chose to live in the middle of the road being Luke warm neither hot nor cold by acting like we live for Gods glory but really our own. That is why Jesus will spit you out of his mouth. In heaven is free will taken away or just the temptation removed? That’s the question. Why Lucifer and the fallen angels cannot be forgiven? Because when they made the choice of glorifying god or themselves all knowledge was available to them and they seen Gods power and glory first hand since their creation. On Earth being physical beings out knowledge is limited. Our seeing God is when he chooses to allow us to see him. We are not privy to living with God in his kingdom everyday. That is what sealed Lucifer’s fate. He cannot exist with God because he doesn’t want to stop glorifying himself. To return to heaven he would have to only glorify God. We send ourselves to hell because we demonstrate that we want to glorify ourselves over God. That we truly do not want to be with God because that means he is given all glory. We chose our fate. Free will. Not understanding is innocence. But Jesus came to clear it all up. He told us with his own words. But the only way to heaven is through Jesus because of this.
Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. Matthew 5:18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Psalm 119:89 Forever, O Lord, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens. Psalm 119:152 Long have I known from your testimonies that you have founded them forever. Ecclesiastes 3:14 I perceived that whatever God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it. God has done it, so that people fear before him. Psalm 33:11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations. Isaiah 14:27 For the Lord of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back? Isaiah 46:10 declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,’ Job 42:2 I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Isaiah 49:2 He made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me a polished arrow; in his quiver he hid me away. Isaiah 50:4 The Lord God has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with a word him who is weary. Morning by morning he awakens; he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught. John 7:46 The officers answered, No one ever spoke like this man! Matthew 7:28 And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, Luke 4:22 And all spoke well of him and marveled at the gracious words that were coming from his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son? Psalm 45:2 You are the most handsome of the sons of men; grace is poured upon your lips; therefore God has blessed you forever.
My Lord Jesus Christ said that creation is a parable. I interpret the parable: The creation of man (adam) man and woman is a newborn human being or baby. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is the new knowledge that he knows what he is doing is good and evil. Parents are the ones responsible for teaching their children about God's law (Torah).
It does tell you about why and who made the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God aka Ĕl the Almighty self exciting eternal Yehôvâh, THE Creator, created gods-ĕlôhîym and they/we all have free will. Lucifer one of the gods-ĕlôhîym created the forbidden fruit aka the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and if you live in the flesh then you partook of the forbidden fruit and you are one of the fallen who were carried away captive. Because this world is owned and manipulated by the spirit of satan. That is if the Holy Spirit is not in you. Don't be deceived by no man. Let the Word be the Truth and every man a liar. When the Jews were going to stone Jesus for saying he was the Son of God, Jesus corrected them and said, is it not written in your law? I said ye are gods-ĕlôhîym in Jhn 10;34. He was quoting Psalm 82;6. We are the Fallen who all partook of the forbidden fruit and became the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The flesh is Lucifer's Kingdom and throne. Why do you think Satan could give Jesus all the kingdoms of the world? Because it was his to give, all authority was given to him. We are all born good and evil, 2 spirited, double-minded, a double camp. A kingdom divided against itself will be brought to desolation. Jesus came to make one new man from the two (good and evil u/me), thus making peace. The flesh was the trap Lucifer set for God's angels, aka you/me. It is the prison, chains, and dungeon Jesus came to free us from. How do you kill God's Angel's/us? Get them in a host body that consumes their life and soul. Look at my profile to learn more and the truth. Peace and grace be with you from our Lord Yehoshua the Messiah. ✝️🛐 Psalm 73:20-22 KJV - As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee. He's talking about the image made in Genesis 1;26, it's the same word in both. Image H675 tselem- to shade, that is a Phantom illusion, hence a representative figure, especially an idol, vain shew. That's the image Lucifer made in the beginning of time that is the soulless evil man. He is the flesh, and the flesh is sin. If we were created in the image of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit we wouldn't need a new Spirit or would we need to be conformed to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit knows no sin and those who think that are saying and calling it evil. The LORD God formed Adam (as Jesus) which was the LORD from Heaven as God's representative in the flesh to put His blood and Spirit into the host body system. Yehôvâh is the Lord of host. Jesus only claimed one Spirit was able to save you and it was the Spirit of Adonai Yehôvih which is Yehôvâh. The spirit of gods-ĕlôhîym can not save you, it's what condemns us, it is the evil in us that was mixed with the good (Genesis 3) which is the Spirit of Yehôvâh. That's why we all have 2 DNA strands, good and evil.
Elohim or Yahweh can really be used interchangeably. Gen. 1:1 uses the word Elohim which is plural but can be used in the singular. It is a title, not a name. The creation was created by the trinity, The Father is the initiator, the Son the mediator and the Spirit is the agent.
Satan was very prideful. Thank you Pastor for the clarity of your teaching
Knowing God is good❤️
_Deut 29:²⁹a, the sovereignty of God is the greatest answer I've ever heard. Maranatha_
He had a plan from the beginning. Good discussion.
Brilliant message as always Dr Barnett. Thank you so much for posting.
God bless and keep you 🙏
thank God for you dt.John
Perhaps this was God's way of preparing Himself to eventually come in the flesh through Jesus Christ, all for His glory.
This was my question I had this morning🙄 GOD Why sooo much evil👺
Why do we have children when we know they will disappoint us? Cuz we want family. Same for the Father, I think.
You mean we know they will disappoint us before we have them?
I was just asking God this question this morning!
To resist the temptations I believe
God gave mankind Free Will. Eve exercise that point .
Thought the same logic when Abraham was told to sacrifice Isaac.
I think God revealed to me by allowing me to understand why God created the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
The answer is free will.
For free will to exist there must be choice to obey or not obey Gods word.
