LOVE YOUR BODY

Just as it was not God's will for Peter to be crucified head down (tradition), or for Paul to go to Jerusalem after God warned him using prophet Agabus (Acts 21:10-14), so it is not God's will that you should abuse your body in any way. God is giving you clear and sober mind.

The Bible is not to be kissed and worshiped, but used as a manual for living. More. It is path which when you start walking on this path you'll discover the Guide who guides into all the Truth - the Holy Spirit (Jn. 16:13)

[Matthew 10:27-28 What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops. Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in *hell.

*γέεννα the place of the future punishment call “Gahanna” or “Gahanna of fire”. This was originally the valley of Hinnom, south of Jerusalem, where the filth and dead animals of the city were cast out and burned.

A purposely-cremated corpse loses its mirror counterpart, which is the soul.

MIRRORING COUNTERPARTS

Principalities and powers of darkness or of wickedness are mirror counterparts of a governing body down below on earth. Apostle Paul in Romans 13:1 clearly states that God establishes all governments on earth. When their wickedness becomes full (Gen. 15:16) then that principality is replaced with another and then the new mirror counterpart above is also created. Hence we have this verse:

[Ephesians 6:12] For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Paul was not confused, but we can easily get confused when we are not established in the oneness of God and in His absolute sovereignty over all of His creation; hence also in logic. Anything logical cleaves back to the One thus it becomes logical and no longer fragmented.

Therefore Paul adds this (Eph. 6:15) and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace. This is not the gospel of war is it? Why feet?

[Isaiah 52:7] How lovely on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who announces peace. – Not war, struggle or aggression.

SYNCHRONICITY

Romans 3:15 & 17 their feet are swift to shed blood. (…) The path of peace they have not known.

Enoch walked with God. He walked with his feet shod with the message (gospel) of peace and God took him.

Blessed are the peacemakers (vs. war-makers) for they shall be called sons of God (Mat:5:9).

Therefore…

For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God (Rom. 13:1). This refers to Daniel 10:13; But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for twenty-one days; then behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia.

When a change of authority is about to happen the angel Michael is the one God uses on earth to establish new governing body, replacing the old one with a new. That principality below has a mirror image above; hence it is God who establishes them through His angels.

The man in linen (priestly ephod, Dan. 10:5) could not come to Daniel for he was being withstood, or retained, by the already set up by then the new authority, which was Medo-Persia. Therefore even the man in linen (Jesus) had to be subjected to that authority, which He always has been subjected - the will of the Father (John 5:19; 30) who 'is greater than I' - Jesus said (John 14:28). 

This pattern is indeed eternal, which Jesus later evidenced when He arrived in the Rome-occupied Palestine some hundreds of years later.

Having said so, and having painted the background for our understanding of mirror images; by the same token a human soul is the spiritual DNA. Just as when any local authority is destroyed, or replaced - and its counter-spiritual image above is also - so it is with the soul. Therefore, the hell of which Jesus spoke is that instant destruction of the soul.

"… rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell …" If soul can be destroyed and it becomes null and void than its physical counterpart - human DNA - should not be destroyed. 

It takes 90 minutes of constant heat 1000° C (1832° F) to destroy all organic matter including human DNA.   

        

We do not know the extent of fire for example how high temperature it can create. The highest temperature ever created by man is, 7.2 Trillion Degrees. [Source: Brookhaven Atom Smasher]

A giant atom-smashing racetrack of sorts has just broken a Guinness World Record by reaching the highest man-made temperature ever recorded, scientists announced Monday (June 25).

How hot? – A 250,000 times hotter than the center of the sun.

This scorching achievement happened inside the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), which is a 2.4-mile (3.9 kilometers) underground track where particles smash into one another under conditions that existed about a millionth of a second after the Big Bang.

The new feat, at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, N.Y., occurred when gold nuclei (the positively charged part of the atom made of protons and neutrons) were sent speeding around RHIC at near light-speed until they crashed into each other. When the ions collide, the enormous energy released is so intense it melts the neutrons and protons inside the gold nuclei into their constituent parts, namely quarks and gluons. [Album: Behind the Scenes at RHIC]

This soup of quarks and gluons formed nearly friction-free primordial plasma thought to resemble the stuff that filled the universe just after the Big Bang created it some 13.7 billion years ago. (This matter would have cooled and condensed to form the protons and neutrons that make up the matter here today.)

RHIC physicists have measured the temperature of this quark-gluon plasma, finding it reaches around 7.2 trillion degrees Fahrenheit (4 trillion degrees Celsius).

The Large Hadron Collider scientists at CERN claim to have created the hottest man-made temperature ever from smashing together lead ions to create a sizzling hot 'subatomic soup'; plasma comprised of quarks and gluons. The final measurement could end up at about 5.5 trillion degrees Celsius (9.9 trillion degrees Fahrenheit). That's hot.

The physicists presented their findings Monday at the Quark Matter 2012 International Conference in Washington D.C., Nature reported.

Physicists for years have been aiming to better understand what the universe was like in its early, early infancy—and researchers suggest such secrets are hidden in hot, hot temperatures like the 'soup' the CERN scientists have created.

“We do have now the tools in place to really experiment with it,” Jurgen Schukraft, a physicist at the CERN physics lab in Geneva, told LiveScience, “and figure out precisely what kind of stuff this really is and why it has these extraordinary properties.”

A super-hot soup of similar proportions has been studied before. Scientists at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York were recently awarded the Guinness World Record for reaching a record-breaking 4 trillion degrees Celsius (7.2 trillion degrees Fahrenheit) inside the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC).

“We seek to explore the subtle interplay of particles and forces that transformed the QGP [quark-gluon plasma] of the early universe into the matter that makes up our world today,” Samuel Aronson, director of Brookhaven National Laboratory, said in a written statement.

Two experiments at the RHIC are actually working with collisions of gold ions to map out the way in which a quark–gluon plasma morphs into a normal gas made of hadrons, according to Nature.    

The 5.5 trillion° Celsius (9.9 trillion° Fahrenheit) is yet an imaginary heat; then imagine anything beyond that scope. Nothing can survive the 5.5 (Tr.)° temperature, which the colliding ions of atoms, protons and neutrons cause. Yet, the ions themselves are not destroyed and they can’t ever be burned up for they are indeed eternal. They come from eternity to the realm of time, which would explain their extra, extraordinary powers. 

Now imagine the spiritual fire. Thus a soul can be utterly destroyed.

ETERNAL FIRE

[Psalms 97:3]  Fire goes before Him and burns up His adversaries round about.

God’s wrath has always been associated with fire (Ps. 89:46) but what sort of a fire? – We only know one kind. There is the eternal fire, which does not need physical matter to burn; it is invisible to our eyes, just as the 7.2° F temperature caused by the invisible collision of ions is. Since we have the symbol of the eternal fire already—however inadequate for we have not reached yet the utter limit of fire’s temperature—we can only imagine what the eternal fire might be like. An eternal fire is less than an instant for it cannot be measured in time.

An excerpt from my booklet “WHEN THE IMMORTAL SOUL DIES”

The theological debate about the immortality of the soul has continued for hundreds of years as if no one ever heard what Jesus said, 

[Matthew 16:25-26] For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

Clearly, one can lose soul. (The Greek word ZEMIOO means to be cast away, to experience detriment, damage and loss.) But we have a problem here. The Hebrew has two expressions for soul, one is NEPHESH and the other NESHAMAH; of which did Jesus really speak? All souls that enter a body, already in a mother’s womb, either must die or live forever.

[Ezekiel 18:4] Behold, all souls are Mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is Mine. The soul who sins will die.

The Hebrew text clearly states NEPHESH, and not the physical person. But in the following verse we have the NESHAMAH translated as ‘souls’ in KJV and as ‘breath’ in NASB.

[Hebrews 10:31] It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Therefore what Jesus spoke of is indeed the eternal fire (not unquenchable, which would be earthly fire that dies down when all matter is burned up), which is much, much less than what we call a moment. “Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” – A simile and allegorical metaphor or a direct allusion to the valley of Hinnom (Gahanna). 

Jesus spoke in parables painting a picture for us so that we might examine the painting like we do examine forgeries; brush strokes or that of a spatula, smears, scrapes, sprays etc.

Just as our sins can be erased in one moment and be no more as if they never happened so it is with created souls in heaven.

[Hebrews 8:12 also 10:17] For I will be merciful to their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more.

[Micah 7:19] He will again have compassion on us; He will tread our iniquities under foot. Yes, You will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

The “under foot” and “depths of the sea” metaphor speaks of not seeing or remembering anything former, in the same way it is with this verse:

[Matthew 7:20-23] So then, you will know them by their fruits. Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.

The obvious outcome and actions speak of the reality inside. Not one fruit of the Spirit is mentioned, but only gifts. But the intriguing expression is this: “I NEVER KNEW YOU.”

Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawless-ness.’

Time plays no role for God.

[Ezekiel 18:21-22] But if the wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed and observes all My statutes and practices justice and righteousness, he shall surely live; he shall not die. All his transgressions, which he has committed, will not be remembered against him; because of his righteousness, which he has practiced, he will live.

Now, the opposite direction:

[Ezekiel 18:24] But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, commits iniquity and does according to all the abominations that a wicked man does, will he live? All his righteous deeds, which he has done will not be remembered for his treachery, which he has committed and his sin, which he has committed; for them he will die.

So the past tense “KNEW” means that something never existed or was erased and is nonexistent before God. We do remember things, for that’s the nature of our lives on earth because of time, but in the timeless realm the same rolled-out scroll can be rolled-back and be as it was never rolled out.

DNA & GENES

Within the human cell the nucleus and the 23 pairs of chromosomes the gene data is found. It contains changing information regarding your origins - where you came from and where you are going. Both genes remember, (mother’s and father’s) and they secrete immortality as well as mortality. It’s a scientific fact. (Read my book WAR IN A BOTTLE), therefore what you feed your life with; your life will gradually become, either a dead corpse or a vibrant living overcomer. 

What we eat (spiritually) we become.       

Love your neighbor as yourself. 

People who struggle with depression eventually succumb to the hatred of their bodies and many can’t cope anymore and want to be put to (permanent) sleep. There must be the balance between self-love and self-hatred (rather dislikes). 

When I went through deep thorough repentance I was being challenged whether I love myself more or God. Of course I chose Him above myself because at that point I saw myself as a wretched despicable sinner, indeed a wretch; to put in John Newton’s words (Song: Amazing Grace). But after the thorough bath He gave me I started to love my body. My body became His temple and no longer a pigsty.

THE GNOSTIC INFLUENCE

The Gnostics hated the body and were led astray. They spiritualized everything to the point of denying the fact that Christ was born of a woman in the natural way. Gnostic influences spike the New Testament. Few examples: 

[Deut. 23:1] No one who is emasculated or has his male organ cut off shall enter the assembly of the LORD.

Yet, supposedly, Jesus said these words:

[Matthew 19:10-12] The disciples said to Him, “If the relationship of the man with his wife is like this, it is better not to marry.” But He said to them, “Not all men can accept this statement, but only those to whom it has been given. For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are also eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this let him accept it.”       

Why it was an insert? – Because of this: Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished (Mat. 5:17-18).

The high priest could not serve unless he was married and full of the masculine vigor. In his preparation for (Yom Kippur), the holiest day the Day of Atonement, he had to abstain from sexual cohabitation with his wife. He had to control his sexual urge for he was atoning for the people. Therefore, anyone that was emasculated, on purpose or accidentally, could not enter the assembly. That’s how much God cares about our vivified with His spirit of life bodies. Jesus our High Priest was a full man and women loved Him and such High Priest laid down His life for you and me. 

The natural vs. the spiritual are mirroring each other. So when John said that every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, he spoke of the Gnostic influence. …hating even the garment polluted by the flesh (Jude 1:23).

THE DNA CODE
 
Your DNA is like the pinnacle of the temple or like the holy of holies. Within your DNA genes can change their behavior. Those that have inherited perverted genes (genes skip generations); and there was no thorough repentance for the iniquities of their forefathers (Neh. 9:2) then they are in danger of succumbing to their ancestors’ practices. Hence, we hear an expression like this, ‘I was born this way.’

[1Corinthians 3:16-17] Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are.

WHAT DESTROYS US & WHAT EXALTS US

Sin destroys us and causes death. And when God brings peace to your sinning body through death then don’t you destroy the code (DNA) through cremation.

[Mark 7:20-23] Jesus said – that which proceeds out of the man that is what defiles the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness. All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man.

Anything unclean (defiled) must be buried in the ground or burned up and that’s what Gahanna really was. Therefore you are His son and His daughter a child of the Most High God. 

 You’ve been also cleansed from ignorance regarding the body. So, keep it holy and pure. Keep it healthy. Take God’s Sabbath to rest your holy temple. Do not even think about cremating your remains for that thought is also evil. Meditate on the original plan of God – never dying; and seek Him first and His Kingdom and all other things you have need of will be added to you. 

Do not harm yourself by sinning against your body. Love your body God’s holy temple and as you do love your temple love also others. For if you can’t love yourself you can’t you love others?

The Lord has spoken. Obey Him.
