GOD SAID, JESUS ABOLISHED PHYSICAL DEATH. ARE YOU ABLE TO BELIEVE THIS? There are two dimensions of living for humanoids on planet earth. There is the seen or visible that everyone is familiar with and life is humanly planned and lived in this dimension unless you have knowledge of the unseen dimension. The seen or visible kingdom contains earthly parameters designed by Satan. Satan is on earth with plans to kill, steal and destroy by inflicting sickness, disease and accidents. The unseen or kingdom of God contains parameters designed by God and made available by the visit Jesus made to our planet 2000 years ago. Jesus came to earth with a transferable modus operandi in order for the ones who believe him to be born again as a son of God and have life without sickness, disease and accidents that merges into immortality. Reading the daily newspaper informs readers of the seen or visible world s condition and most newspapers have an obituary page where dead persons are listed. The kingdom of God dimension has an instruction manual for living and God s plan has righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. The choice in which dimension you choose comes from words spoken. Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. The words of God when believed and spoken by a son of God are manifested in the seen or visible dimension. Words that are contrary to what God says, when spoken, are also manifested in the seen or visible dimension. Satan only weapon to destroy you are the words you speak. Proverbs 4:20-24 My son, attend to my words; incline your ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep your heart (mind) with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Put away from you a perverse mouth, and wicked lips put far from you. Paraphrased this says, Perceive, memorize and speak what God has said about health and you will live without sickness and disease. 1
Hebrews 2:14-18 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the pow er of death, that is, the devil. And deliver them who were all their lifetime through fear of death subject to bondage. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself had suffered being tempted, he is able to succor them that are tempted. II Timothy 1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. John 3:14-17 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up. That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Paraphrasing the above, Moses lifted the brass serpent to prevent physical death. If you believe the reason Jesus came to earth you will not perish or die and live forever. Because God is love He gave His Son Jesus to prevent physical death and impart immortality. Jesus came to earth not to judge or condemn but to make humanity physically free from sickness and disease and restore immortality. The first paragraph says the devil causes death. Adam introduced physical death by swallowing Satan s lie. Jesus came to earth to restart God s plan and make heaven in earth or the Garden of Eden possible. Jesus, the last Adam, reversed the mistakes Adam made and abolished death and restored immortality. In spite of the above scriptures the unchallenged belief in death as a fact has caused death to be accepted as normal and to be expected. The belief in death requires believing a need for a grave that is the only synonym for hell. The belief in death is also a belief in sickness and disease that causes death. God said, By the stripes of Jesus healing occurs. Maybe it doesn t take place because the belief in death causes double mindedness. The belief in death, a grave and hell is the biggest sham ever accomplished by Satan. 2
Eternal Life is another term for immortality but the accepted Christian perversion of this has taught that Eternal Life starts after death. The Bible is an instruction manual for life and does not speak of a life after death. The Greek word for life is always Zoë and means physical life and never is applied to a life after death. Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Not seen means beyond human perception. Just because everyone dies doesn t make it true. This human fact disagrees with what God said in the verses above and should be a signal to make a decision to investigate and not just to follow the Lemmings over the cliff. An Unchallenged Lie will become a fact and literally is calling God a liar. The belief in death and hell is responsible for Christians not living to the expectations of God but fulfilling more of Satan s plans, he came to kill, steal and destroy. Before I was born again and became a son of God I was a traditional Christian and with an engineering background and an analytical mind I continually wondered why my Christian life was not the life I read about in the Bible and I was failing to meet God s expectations. After my Born Again experience I became aware that Jesus was not a Christian. He was a Jewish Son of God. As I compared the word of God to my traditional beliefs in death and hell amazing things began to happen. My willingness to depart from the traditions of Christianity was a signal to God and He began to clear my former beliefs with new revelations of His love. I believe the most significant change, judging a person was replaced with love. My 55-year belief in hell was removed and I was stunned how obscene my former belief was that my God who is love could torture anyone. God has shared with me how much hurt He has experienced when someone believes He could punish anyone for doing something wrong. The Prodigal Son metaphor is as plain and simple as God could speak about His love and forgiveness. Eliminating a belief in death also eliminated a belief in hell. 3
Focusing on life instead of death has improved my health and my life is now lived in the kingdom of God where there is no sickness, disease and death. Stress free living as the world s condition deteriorates is another benefit for believing God. Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth without fail and I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both you and your seed may live. Paraphrased record against you to without fail. John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Satan came to create accidents, sickness and disease that causes death---------- Jesus came to abolish death that is caused by accidents, sickness and disease--- If all of the above words of God are not making sense and you are still clinging to believing in death and hell, question WHY? Believing in earthly facts that disagree with God s word is Double Mindedness and prevents prayers being answered. Before I became a son of God I questioned why many Christian s prayers were unanswered more times than they were answered. Unanswered prayers of Saintly and committed Christians permitted many to die from sickness and disease and for no apparent reason. I had much difficulty explaining why God s will failed more often than succeeding. II Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. This verse paraphrased is saying, God will not delay His promise about avoiding physical death and everyone should change his or her perception about it so immortality may come about. About a year ago I sincerely asked God to reveal the truth to me about death and hell and I determined to be open minded and be willing to abandon my 55 years of traditional beliefs. I admitted that it was the faith of Jesus that was going to be necessary to expand my human faith to accept God s word about immortality. Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. This verse actually is saying, As a son of God I have the same mind that Jesus has and I am able to live by the God kind of faith. At this juncture in my life the scriptures opened up beyond what I had perceived for the 55 years operating as a carnal Christian and my life dramatically changed. 4
The reason people believe in death and hell is explained in I Corinthians 2:14: But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him, neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Before I was born again and became a son of God I was that natural man Paul was talking about and it was easy for my overlooking the many scriptures describing Jesus abolishing death. Satan s deception also gives the ability to explain why God s word doesn t work. The popular and most memorized verse of all Christians is John 3:16 which illustrates the power of Satan s deceptive ways. This verse, to the carnal Christian, means Jesus came to make heaven possible. The truth as spiritually discerned says, Jesus came so perishing or dying is abolished and everlasting life or immortality is restored. Under Satan s deception it is easy to overlook the truth and I was guilty for fiftyfive years believing Satan s lie about death and hell instead of God s word proclaiming so many times that Jesus abolished death and its partner, hell. Jesus death on the cross and his resurrection abolished death and restored immortality. The wages or earthly consequence of sin is death. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. It is scriptural corruptness and dishonest to teach that death in this verse speaks of spiritual death. Death in this verse in the original Greek is thanatos and means physical death. Thanatos is the Greek Pagan god of death and is used 124 times in the New Testament and always speaks of physical death. I recommend to all my readers to investigate that perhaps this article is truth. An investigation starts by asking God to reveal the truth and be sure what is received is supported by an accurate translation of scripture. God s revelations are always confirmed by His word. chuck@godtruth.tv July 12, 2009 5
