In my last article I struggled to figure how I wanted to say what I had been trying to say. But I figured there really isn’t that delicate of a way to introduce the idea. If you read my previous articles on the subject I have been introducing this concept of the plurality of Gods. Showing how Elohim is plural, how Adonai is plural, and in an important way YHVH is also plural.
My goal is not to tear God down and make us think of him as just a man, even as great an idea as the first man is. I’m trying to teach my readers who they are. I am trying to teach my readers who Adam actually was, and what he actually did. And very importantly Eve Havah too. Understanding the plan of Salvation in this context is important because it cuts through the false teachings and doctrines. It cuts through the excuses.
So hear this version of the account. Elohim created the heaven and the earth. This is both symbolic and literal. Many think this means the stars, the moon, the planets, the sun, and the earth itself. And it does. But the heaven and the earth are also symbolic of a bigger picture. The Elohim, the council of the Gods created the heavens. The heavens are all things spiritual. And they created the earth. The earth representing mortality, all things we thing of as physical. Then in Genesis and the other accounts, it details this process. Understanding that when it says God did this it is actually saying Elohim did this, or a council who is perfectly united in goal and purpose. They are so united that they are referred to as one.
Then when this process is completed, one of them chose to give up His Immortal God form. A being of incredible power and knowledge chooses to give that up an instead become human. A being that by comparison is fragile, weak, lacking in knowledge, lacking in understanding, prone to sickness, and death. And when the time is right He brings with Him another.
And all this for what purpose? To take this mortal form and make it like God. To bring about more Gods, if they will. Before I continue, I want to clarify a point lest pride convince men of something they are not. I will repeat this as often as necessary because it is important. Man is a god in embryo. That is man is capable of becoming a god. That does not mean that man is a god. Man is not perfect, man must purify this flesh of everything that is unlike God, in order to become a god.
But that’s what this mortal earth and life is about. It is a testing and proving. It is an opportunity. What God did in becoming Adam was an act of love. Pure love. God knew that in becoming mortal He was falling. He knew that by becoming mortal that he was going to make mistakes. He knew that by becoming mortal he would himself be in need of salvation. But because of the great love he has for us, he will gladly give up his immortality for the chance that we might become like Him.
I see so many criticize what Adam and Havah did. That they introduced sin into the world. But know this. They did what they did, knowing that if they didn’t, you would not be here now. The story is true, but it is also a parable. I plan on continuing this further, but I think I’ve said enough for now. But please to all who read this. Pray about it and ask God for understanding and a confirmation of these words.
