I n the beginning God created…Man, who was created as one being, just as all creation was created, however, man’s being was created in the image of God, man would live forever. Man willfully disobeyed God’s Commandment. Adam sinned and sentence was imposed by God. God made it clear when he placed Adam in the garden, what the penalty would be; if he ate the forbidden fruit, he would physically die. Adam by his action divided himself into two beings. His spirit, that would live forever, and his body, that would die, each became sinful and impure. Adams initial body was Holy, however, thru his sinful act, Adam poisoned his body, and in time it would result in death of the body.

Adam now has two beings, a corrupted spiritual being and a corrupted physical being. Only man has two beings. Man now has a new challenge. Which of the two beings are to be honored by the other, surrendering their dominance, or will there be a continual conflict between them.

Perhaps we can more easily understand the body. Bodies, both male and female, have a purpose. The body’s basic purpose is, a vehicle of the mind, as an auto is a vehicle of the owner, to carry the spirit where the spirit wants to go, and to perform tasks that the spirit can’t do. body is also the vehicle thru which the spirit manifests evil. Our bodies do not know what is best for them. Desires are manifested thru the body, and an evil desire will be manifested by the breaking of the Ten Commandments. An evil spirit may join, or direct the body, in some or all of the body’s unrighteous endeavors, thereby, damaging, sometimes permanently, or destroying the body. Read, ‘When It’s Over Its Not Over’.
