The One True God of the Hydrogen Atom Universes, is the Source Of Life (SOL), and the Source of the Electro-Magnetic Force (EMF). The SOL is the 'One God' of religion that no one has ever seen, and the source of the Big Bang of science. Is it even possible to see or even know where the SOL started? Our High Tech Ancestors (HTA) from Space/Heaven, Colonized Earth, and are called Higher 'Beings', God, Man Gods, Trinity Gods and Angels, in religion and myth, with 'supernatural' powers. High Tech is 'Super'natural. Our HTA can Create/Colonize Life on Planets; they can not Create the Atom, only SOL can. The Literal Truth we must accept is that these Man Gods/Angels of religion and myth are not God. The Temple of God/SOL is Life, and Life is to be Served with Balanced Elements, which is what our HTA do, which gives them Eternal Physical Life After Birth. Our HTA nor any physical person should be elevated one above another. All should be Equal Brothers/Sisters of Life. We should not Worship Man Gods or Higher Beings in pagan temples made by Human Hands. Our HTA, colonized Earth from 10,000 BC to 5,000 BC, the 6 Days of creation in the Bible. The Pure-bred Adam and Eve Colony were reproduced by our HTA, in an Asexual High Tech Womb in the Garden of Eden, on Day 6, 5,000+ BC. They had no mother or father, and were an Asexual Caretaker Species, with Selfhood, Equality in all things, and they had Happy, Joy, and Peace, in the Garden of Eden/Paradise. On Day 7, 4,000 BC, they were put in charge as Equal Caretakers of the Creation.
What is the Fall of Man from Grace? Is the Fall, Original Sin? What is Original Sin? Are the Fall and Original Sin the same event in our Past? Know the Truth and the Truth will set you Free. Free from What? The Original Sin? The Big Lie? Human Bondage? Carnal Lust? Death? What is Truth? What is The Gospel Truth? The Literal Truth Man needs to accept is that The Fall of the 'Original' Asexual Colony, was from the Higher Pure-bred 'Nature' of Reproduction, to Heterosexual Body Birth, the Lower genetic misbred 'Nature' of Reproduction, which is the Original Sin. The Fallen Colony had to go through the cycles of birth, death, and rebirth, until the fullness of time. God/SOL joins the seed of Man in a High Tech Womb or in the female's body. Whatsoever Man sows that also shall they reap. Lower Beings were made by Heterosexual Body Birth, and the female was subjugated to the male, and they lost their Selfhood and Free Will. The Original Pure-bred Colony 'fell' to Body Birth, lost their High Tech, were grounded and became the Fallen Angels. Our HTA removed their High Tech Center from the Garden of Eden, but return to Earth from time to time. Adam and Eve reproduced the first murderer, and Physical Death began. Most people wonder if Adam and Eve were the only people on Earth before they had Cain and Able, but there was more people reproduced on Day 6, and when the Colony 'fell', there were other males and females to make the first Fallen Society. Both types of Birth make Physical Human Beings, but the Higher 'Beings' have Mind Control of the Flesh, and Eternal Physical Life After Birth. The Lower Beings, with Human Bondage Birth, have genetic defects, hate, greed, inequality, lust of the flesh, disease, all types of divisions, killing, war, and physical death.
For 6000 years, Man has made people with all types of Genetic Misbreeding and with Birth Damage and sometimes, Death to the female and/or the child. The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil is: Asexual high Tech Pure-bred Birth is the Good, and Heterosexual Misbred Body Birth is the Evil. Now that we have High Tech which type of reproduction should Man choose? Genetic Pure-bred or Genetic Dysfunctional? We need to control the seed of the male, stop uncontrolled genetic misbreeding and take care of all the people on Earth equally. We need to put the resources that we used for weapons of massive destruction into making a High Tech Womb, for when we need any more people, but also use our High Tech to correct the misbred genetics of all Life on Earth. Earth is a Spaceship with all the Resources aboard, and should be Shared Equally with All the Passengers. In 1999, we have 6 billion dysfunction people, and they have enough nuclear weapons to blow up many Planets like Earth. Why? Is this Good or Evil?
K.C. STAR, 19'71'-'73'. "'Make Love' Or 'Have Sex' - Who Cares?" By Abigail Van Buren. "Dear Abby: Someone wrote to say that he was irritated by people who used the expression "Making love" when they meant "having sex". The complainer pointed out that the couple who met at a cocktail party and went to a motel to "make love" did NOT "make love": they had sex, and "love" had nothing to do with it. Well, now it's my turn to complain: They did not "have sex"; they had "sexual intercourse". Everybody has sex. A newborn baby has sex. The sex is either male or female. Sex is not something one DOES. It is something one IS! Stickler in Ottumwa."
"Dear Stickler: You're right, of course. But some people are hung up by the graphic (though correct) terminology, "sexual intercourse". "Had sex" is easier to say and communicates the same message, so let's live and let people have sex or make love - and who cares?"
"Our Sunday Visitor", 6/19/19'77'. "Q. It seems to me that reasoning tends to refute the position of the Western Church, to wit: original sin was and is the sole and sufficient cause of death in the world. The Blessed Mother, by reason of her Immaculate Conception, was exempt from original sin. Therefore, she was not subject to death and must have been assumed into heaven while still alive. - James E. Friel, Denver, CO."
"A. It's an argument but there are those who would distinguish your minor premise by saying that Mary was preserved from the actuality of original sin but not the inherited effects of it (e.g. illness and death). However, as I said earlier, the Church has never defined this and theologians disagree."
The Gospel Truth. Genesis 3:7-13,17-20. "And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, who gave me of the tree, and I did eat. And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou has done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat." - And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of they wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee' and thou shalt eat the herb of the field' In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground: for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living." -
Job 15:14,25. "What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous? - How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?" -
Psalm 51:5. "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me." -
1 John 3:8-12. "He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil; whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous."
Whoever Satan/Lucifer was, did Eve bear his child Cain, before she and Adam had Abel? Is Satan/Lucifer/Snake, the male penis, or another human being? Is this how the misbreeding of Man's genetics began on Earth? There has not been any control over the male seed for 6000 years, and all the problems fall on the female and child, which would not be a problem if the seed was not planted. We need to control the seed of the male, and use our High Tech to make an Asexual High Tech Womb instead of making more Nuclear weapons of mass destruction. Jesus and his followers were an Asexual group, that practiced celibacy, and many groups since have also followed this teaching, that is also in our genetic remembrance of how Man is supposed to be. Most religions have monks/nuns, brothers/sisters, who are supposed to be celibate, and this is supposed to be the highest level for Man to achieve on Earth until they go to Heaven. They live a different Lifestyle than our HTA. Since the High Tech Birth knowledge was lost until we regained High Tech, no other process could be offered for Human Birth, so all kinds of reasons were used for Original Sin, except Body Birth.
"My Answer", 1970s. By Billy Graham. "Q. I have difficulty understanding the story of Adam and Eve. What was so wrong about eating the fruit of the tree in the Garden of Eden?"
"A. The Bible teaches that Adam and Eve were created to worship and serve God. However, they also had complete free will, and they chose to turn their backs on God by disobeying Him. The action of Adam and Eve was wrong simply because God had forbidden the eating of the fruit of 'the tree of the knowledge of good and evil" (Genesis 2:17). They had the choice of either obeying God or disobeying Him. The tree itself had no magical properties, but if they chose to eat of it they would be committing sin for the first time. They would therefore know what evil was in their experience. I think it is important to see that if God had not given Adam and Eve the choice between good and evil they would have been like puppets because they could have done only what God wanted them to do. But God did not want puppets to love Him - He wanted humans who would freely respond to His love. Because of the sin of Adam and Eve the whole human race has become alienated from God. But God does not give up! He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to die for our sins and give us eternal life. By simple faith in Him we can be reconciled with God. The effects of Adam's prideful rebellion are all around us, but Jesus Christ came to take away the effects of that sin. As the Bible says, "God's act of grace is out of all proportion to Adam's wrongdoing For if by the wrongdoing of that one man death established its reign, through a single sinner, much more shall those who receive in far greater measure God's grace, and his gift of righteousness, live and reign through the One man Jesus Christ" (Romans 5:15,17. N.E.B.)."
The New Standard Jewish Encyclopedia, 1970. By Cecil Roth, and Geoffrey Wigoder. "Fall of Man". "The teaching that death, labor, and pain were brought into the world by Adam who sinned in transgressing the Divine command by eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge. The biblical narrative describing how the happy state of the human race as first created came to be changed is certainly innocent of the extreme theological conclusions later derived from it. Christian theology has fashioned out of this story the doctrine of original sin, which teaches the inherent depravity of the human race. Some trace of this teaching can already be found in late Apocryphal and Pseudepigrahic literature where mention is first made that men die because of Adam's original sin. - The acceptance of the Torah at Sinai, however, restored man's original state which was again lost by the worship of the golden calf. R Ammi differed from the majority view and held that every death is caused by actual sin."
"The Catholic KEY", 10/20/19'74'. "Aftermath of The First Sin" By Rev. Paul F. Palmer, S.J. "Man rebelled against God and by a divine irony experienced within himself an inner rebellion of the flesh against the spirit. Estranged from God, he experienced an inner estrangement, an inner tension, an inner divisiveness that could and would lead to what the Apostle Paul refers to as the war of the flesh against the spirit. "So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. For I delight in the law of God in my inmost self, but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin which dwells in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin" (Rom. 8:21-25). Catholic theology has given a special name to this law or rule of sin, this imperious force with which man must do battle. It is called concupiscence. Against the Protestant Reformers, who tended to identify concupiscence with original sin itself, the Fathers of the Council of Trent insisted that concupiscence is not itself a sin, but a consequence of sin, the aftermath of the first sin, a tendency, a propensity towards sin, which calls for struggle, but a struggle in which man can be victorious, as Paul asserts, "through Jesus Christ our Lord".
"Earlier theologians tended to identify concupiscence with the unruly, undisciplined and promiscuous tendencies of the sexual organs themselves. Later theologians are more inclined to speak of concupiscence in terms of the totality of man's evil tendencies, spiritual as well as carnal. Admittedly Paul does not distinguish between flesh and spirit as we do today. When he says, "But I am carnal, sold under sin" (Rom. 7:14), Paul uses "carnal" not only for man's bodily nature and it's material desires, but for man's whole nature, insofar as it is ruled by selfish interests. Concupiscence in this general sense of self-seeking may be called natural or connatural to man, but it no longer has place in the order of grace in which man is called to share in the very nature of God who is by definition Love. In this order, and it is the order that existed from the beginning, man must die to self if he is to live to God. Restricting ourselves to concupiscence as the shattering effect of the first sin, there is still much to learn of that concupiscence or "lust of the flesh", which, along with the "lust of the eyes" and the "pride of life", constitute for John "all that is in the world" (1 Jn. 1:16). Before the Fall the appetites of the flesh and, more specifically, man's sexual appetite, were subject to the spirit, to the direction and control of reason. In the area of sexual activity, Adam and Eve experienced no evil, no unruly, no undisciplined, no unchanneled sexual drives. They would come to "know evil", in the sense of experiencing this evil tendency within their members, only after "their eyes were opened".
"Before the Fall Adam loved Eve with a love that would express itself physically, emotionally and spiritually, with a love that would be integrated, that would be whole or wholesome. After the Fall Adam sensed that he could love the body of Eve without loving Eve, that he could love any body, without loving anybody or any person, that the body divorced from the spirit could be the object of his own carnal desires uncontrolled by the spirit. Adam realized that he could lust after a woman without loving her, that the body of a woman, to use a Freudian expression, could be simply an "object of sexuality". This realization, this premonition, shared in her own way by Eve is expressed by the cryptic words recorded just prior to the first sin. "And the man and his wife were both naked, and were not ashamed" (Gen. 2:25). Whether this highly refined insight into the nature of carnal concupiscence is actually the intent of the sacred author can be questioned. But the idea that concupiscence or the lustful tendency in man can be remedied by human love, elevated and perfected by the grace of Christ is basic to any sexual ethic which is Christian."
Flesh and the Spirit is the Heterosexual and Asexual Natures of Man. All the Supernatural and Spiritual knowledge can be explained with Physical High Tech Equal Pure-bred Breeding. In a High Tech Asexual Birth Society, people are Pure-bred, and the Lust of the Flesh is controlled with their Mind. Why the Adam and Eve Colony that were Pure-bred, 'fell' to Body Birth, may be understood in time. But now that we again have High Tech, we need to pursue the High Tech Pure-bred Asexual Nature of Man, that have High Tech Eternal Physical Life. Jesus was Asexual as well as his disciples and followers.
K.C. STAR, 2/19/00. "Person to person" "Apple of Adam's eye: Want to know all about Eve? In its March edition, 'Penthouse' magazine continues its adaptation of the Bible by giving readers "their first good look at the first woman". And, the magazine says, "she's a beautifully formed, stunning blond".
Dictionary of Christian Lore and Legend, 1983. By JCJ Metford. "Grace" "From the Latin 'gratia', 'favour', assistance freely and gratuitously given by God to man with a view to his eternal life and sanctification." - "Fall of Mankind" "God created mankind in the persons of Adam and Eve and set them in the Garden of Eden. - The Serpent, 'the most subtle of the beasts of the field', tempted Eve to eat the Forbidden Fruit, saying that the prohibition was due to God's fear that the man and or woman who ate this fruit might become as gods, knowing good from evil. - Eve ate some of the fruit, believed to be an apple, and gave some to her husband. Then their eyes were opened and they saw that they were naked, so they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons, or loin-cloths. - This was man's first disobedience, his "Original Sin", and fall from grace. Mankind would ultimately be freed from the inheritance of this sin through the sacrifice on the Cross".
Why would Man know they were naked and sew fig leaves to cover their genitals, if all they did was eat some fruit? The knowledge of good and evil is the knowledge of High Tech Birth and Heterosexual Body Birth. The good of the Equal Selfhood Lifestyle of Love, Sharing and Peace, against the evil of the Unequal Selfish Lifestyle of Lust, Greed and War/Death, covers the tree of knowledge of Physical Life. The Original Colony was given Free Will to reproduce by High Tech, but why the 'fell' Heterosexual Body Birth, is not known to me as yet. Body Birth does away with Mind Control which is the 'Spirit' EMF Control of the Flesh. Jesus taught Asexuality, and Mind Control. Jesus did not die and go to Heaven, for our sins; We will each be judged for them individually. Jesus is Alive, and showed the only Way to go to Heaven/Space is in a Physical Body, in a Spaceship with our HTA, as did Enoch, Elijah, etc. Why the Original Asexual Colony choose Heterosexual Body Birth that caused Division and Physical Death, is one of the 'mysteries' to be answered in the End Times Millennium.
K.C. STAR, 1/3/2000. "Letters" "Innocence lost" By Patrick Morgan. "I cannot think of any story ever written that does not somehow draw from the imagery and lessons of Genesis, particularly the loss of innocence as a result of gaining knowledge. It is ironic that the same metaphor is being played out in the evolution/creationism debate. Loss of innocence can be scary and quite frankly, a bummer. I remember when I first learned there was not a Santa Claus - it stunk."
Just as Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, etc., were people, so our HTA are real people who have been miscalled Higher 'Beings', Man Gods and Angels. Another way 'the loss of innocence' has meaning is when the female loses her virginity to a male for the first time, and this is the one to consider in this chapter of the Fall of Man from High Tech reproduction to Heterosexual Body Birth reproduction. This is when the Original Colony lost their Innocence and had to go through the cycles of birth, death, and rebirth, till the fullness of time, which is upon us, in the year 2000, when we have again relearned about High Tech reproduction and Eternal Physical Life After Birth.
K.C. STAR, 12/6/99. "Evil originates from rebellion against God" By Billy Graham. "Q. Dear Billy Graham: Where did evil come from? If God created everything, then he must also have created evil, didn't he? - G.B."
"Dear G.B.: No, God did not create evil, nor is he responsible for the evil in the world. The Bible speaks of "the mystery of Iniquity" (2 Thessalonians 2?7, KJV) and admittedly evil is a mystery we will never fully understand in this life. However the Bible makes it clear that God did not create evil. The Bible indicates that God created both the angels and the human race with a free will, including the freedom to rebel against him, and this is what happened. Evil had its origin when one of God's most powerful angels rebelled against him and tried to usurp his authority. That angel was Lucifer or Satan, who was judged by God and cast out of heaven. Satan is real, and so is evil. Don't ever underestimate Satan's evil or his hatred of anything to do with God. Satan is a defeated foe! Through his death and resurrection, Jesus Christ conquered death and hell and Satan. Be on the winning side by giving your life to Christ today."
Man has the Freewill to reproduce by High Tech or Body. Rebellion against God/Life is the Lower Nature of Birth that makes misbred genetic dysfunctional people, that cannot control their different genetic makeup. It depends how unbalanced the genetic code is as to who is good or bad, and even the ones considered good, fight and Kill for their family, religion or government. Thou shalt not Kill, means literally not Killing our Brothers/Sisters of Life, like the Cain and Abel story. Thou shalt not Kill is not a rule just for abortion. Why the Original Colony 'fell' to Body Birth has not been explained in any information I have seen so far, but hope that with a High Tech translation of all scriptures and myth, that it will be explained. Christ is Selfhood, Love, Equality, Sharing, Peace, Balanced Elements, and Eternal Physical Life. Anti-Christ/Heterosexual is Selfish, Hate, Inequality, Greed, Killing and War, Unbalanced Elements, and Physical Death.
K.C. STAR, 4/15/19'77'. Archbishop Sheen. "Flesh, Not Spirit, Rules The Carnal Christian" "Every human has a body which gives sense-consciousness, a mind which gives human-consciousness and a spirit which makes it possible to commune with God. When one become Christian, there should be a complete domination of Christ and the Spirit over each of these three forms of consciousness. But it is not always so. It is very much like education; some students absorb more than others. Consequently there can be three types of Christians: Carnal Christians, Psychic Christians and Spiritual Christians. Each marches under the banner of Christianity, but the influence of the Gospel on the body, the mind and the spirit differs widely. That is why one of the major objections against Christianity is that its followers do not act differently from anyone else. Such a reproach is sometimes justified though it may be answered that it is easy to be an agnostic or a liberal and very hard to be a Christian. Here we are concerned with the first group called "Carnal Christians", which name was directed by Paul to that madcap church in the city of Corinth. This is what he wrote: "I could not speak to you as I should speak to people who have the Spirit. I had to deal with you on a purely natural plane as infants in Christ. And so I gave you milk to drink instead of solid food, for which you were not ready. Indeed you are still not ready for it, for you are still on the merely carnal plane".
"Carnal Christians go through the initiation rites, call themselves "twiceborn" and are more or less faithful in church attendance. But they are basically unchanged from the way they were before. They are like gilded wood, or better, like babes that became stunted physically and mentally and never grew up. A boy did not speak for seven years. The parents exhausted a fortune with psychologists trying to get him to talk, but to no avail. One day at breakfast he shouted: "This cocoa is cold". The parents shouted: "You speak! Why did you not speak before this?" He answered: "Up until now, everything was O.K". Carnal Christians are no great reason for altering this life fundamentally. What characterizes them is that they are ruled by the flesh rather than the Spirit. For that reason Paul said he could not give them the "meat" of spiritual doctrine, but only the "milk" of simple little lessons. The Carnal Christian have three characteristics: First, they give the primacy in their lives to the flesh, which is left untouched by the Christian label because there is no sacrifice of self-discipline in life. The behavior that belongs to the lower life may crop up "as fornication, impurity, indecency, idolatry and sorcery, quarrels, a contentious temper, envy, fits of rage, selfish ambitions, dissent, party intrigues and jealousies, drinking bouts, orgies and the like". Though the tree of sexual abandon, for example, was cut down, yet the root and the stump are still there. They are like Lot's wife who fled from Sodom, but then looked back because her heart was still there and was caught up in the flames.
"The second note of Carnal Christians is a tendency to form cliques, factions, little movements and communities outside of the Christ-body as happened in Corinth. "I am for Cephas", "I am for Paul", "I am for Apollo". Arrogance, pride and egotism begin to assert themselves and the dissensions result in little parties disrupting church unity. Third, Carnal Christians are like teeter-totters constantly oscillating between a state of union with Christ and a falling away from Him. They do not have enough religion to completely break with evil habits, but they have just enough of it to spoil their illicit pleasures. Living in a state of constant conflict, they are apt to seek relief in psychiatry, instead of controlling the flesh which is the condition of peace. Because enlightened by the Spirit, they feel the gravity of their sin more than before, but because of repeated falls, they find themselves too weak to gain a victory. Despair settles over them like a foul fog. The remedy for this triple slavery of the Carnal Christian is discipline and self-denial, for those who belong to Christ "have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires". What is missing in such a life is the power of the Cross, which the Lord enjoins all to take up "daily"."
K.C. STAR, 19'82'. "My Answer" By Billy Graham. "Q. I have heard my pastor talk about original sin, but I'm not sure I understand what he means. Does the Bible talk about this? - H.N."
"A. The words "original sin" are not in the Bible. Theologians have used the words to describe a biblical teaching. What your pastor means is: The Bible declares that every individual is a sinner. "There is no one righteous, not even one ... for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:10,23). The Bible teaches that we are not sinners just because we sin; we sin because we are sinners. We sin because there is within us a tendency toward sin. Our basic nature is warped and twisted. The Psalmist says, "Surely I have been a sinner from birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me" (Psalm 51:5). The good news of the Gospel is that we do not have to remain enslaved by sin, nor do we have to stay under the judgment God has pronounced. We cannot free ourselves from our sin, nor can we forgive ourselves. Only God can do this, and he does in Jesus Christ. Christ came primarily to deal with sin and to make forgiveness and new life possible. "Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins" (1John 3:4-5)."
K.C. STAR, 5/10/97. "Q&A" "Story of Garden of Eden is our story" "Q. Why did God punish Adam and Eve? They were innocent and didn't know what evil was, did they? It seems to me that God was unfair to them. He should have allowed them to discover what evil was so they would want to avoid it, instead of punishing them when they had no personal experience of such things. - J.F.
"A. Don't forget that Adam and Eve lived in a perfect world. God had given them everything they needed, and nothing was missing to make them happy and content. Satan, therefore could not tempt them with some kind of additional pleasure or promise of peace - they already had everything. Satan tempted them by promising the one thing they did not have equality with God. Satan said to them, "You will not surely die. ... For God knows that when you eat of it (the tree of knowledge of good and evil), your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil" (Genesis 3:4-5). Everything Satan promised and everything he said to them about God was a lie. God had warned them, but they turned their backs on him anyway. That was their sin. From that moment on, they and all their descendants, including us, were poisoned by sin. The real issue, however, is this: What about you? Someday you will stand before God and you will be without excuse. Don't get lost in speculations, but turn to Christ and let him forgive you and cleanse you of sin." -
"The Rev. Linda Anderson-Little, pastor, St. Mark's Lutheran Church: Your question about why things happened the way they did in the story of the Fall begs the larger question about the purpose of the whole story of Adam and Eve. The power of the story of the Fall lies in what it reveals both about humans and about God. It is helpful to think of this story in the larger context of the first several chapters of Genesis. The first 11 chapters of Genesis tell a series of stories that serve to explain the nature of human beings and the nature of God. These accounts (the Creation, Adam and Eve, The Fall, Cain's murder of Abel, Noah and the flood, the tower of Babel) seek to relate why life is the way it is. When we approach the story this way the question is not so much why did God punish Adam and Eve, but rather what does this story tell us about humans and God. The story of Adam and Eve's disobedience shows that God did not create us as beings programmed to do whatever God wishes. God created us with free will, with the choice to obey God and live in relationship with God, or to rebel against God and live with the consequences. Adam and Eve are all of us. We rebel against God's commandments seeking to be like God. God does not punish Adam and Eve as much as God allows them to live with the consequences of their own choices. Pain and hard work are the result of their rebellion against God as their creator and their lord. God wants us to freely choose obedience and to listen to God's words rather than the words of the tempter. The story of Adam and Eve reminds us that this is a struggle for all of us. Our choices can bring about evil consequences or abundant joy." -
"Rabbi Morris Margolies, rabbi emeritus, Beth Shalom Congregation: Unlike some people, J.F., I cannot speak for God. He never gave me that authorization. But, like anyone who chooses to, I have my own interpretation of the Adam and Eve story. I do not see the expulsion from the Garden of Eden as a punishment at all. I see it as a blessing in disguise. Adam and Eve had a taste of a paradise in which everything was served up to them on the proverbial silver platter, in which they had no say about anything, in which they had no responsibilities to speak of, in which they would have eventually been pulverized by deadly boredom. That kind of paradise was a hell in disguise. Their expulsion was the real blessing. They were out on their own now. They had to work for their survival. They began to "eat bread by the sweat of their brow". They now possessed the fruit of the "tree of knowledge of good and bad" and so they were now equipped to discern the difference between the two and to act accordingly. Adam and Eve were granted the boon of free will, God's greatest gift to the human race. It is upon that gift that both morality and perversity are founded. You and I, J.F., need no longer be blind sheep following the dictates of some self-appointed trumpeter. We can think for ourselves if we choose to. We need not pay heed to those who say that they speak in the name of God or of democracy or of truth. More often than not, these people are self-serving demagogues. If we do not think things through for ourselves, then we are opening wide the gates of hell. There are no cherubim there to prevent our entrance."
K.C. STAR, 10/22/96. "My Answer" By Billy Graham. "God will honor chaste behavior" "Q. My friends think I am strange because I have said I don't want to have sex. But I wonder if I can hold out, because the pressures are so strong. How can I stick to my convictions?"
"A. Let me commend you for your commitment to sexual purity. God will honor you for it, and you will always be thankful you chose to keep yourself pure for the person you will marry. How can you keep your convictions? First, realize that it is God's will. Don't take that lightly, for God has warned that he "...will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral" (Hebrews 13:4). If you have never done so, commit your life to Jesus Christ and ask him to come into your life as your Lord and Savior. Then make it your goal to please him in everything, with his help. Second, take practical steps to avoid situations you might not be able to control. Think ahead, and don't even allow yourself to get in a situation where the temptation to renounce your commitment to purity might be too strong. In addition, guard what goes on in your mind. We are constantly being bombarded today with sexual themes and images in advertising and the media, and unless we resist, they will only make us less sensitive to God and his will. Then focus your attention on Christ and his will. Fill your heart with his word, the Bible".
K.C. STAR, 12/14/19'80' "Nice Girls Do" Full page ad for the Book by Dr. Irene Kassorla. "A mundane sex life can be compared to a frozen TV dinner: it will keep you alive, but it's not a gourmet banquet served in a posh restaurant". These are the words of the renowned, innovative psychologist. Dr. Irene Kassorla, whose pioneering work in the field of sex therapy has brought her international acclaim. Dr. Kassorla adds, "There is no question that you can survive life without sexual fulfillment - 'but why should you?' The ultimate expression of male chauvinism is encompassed in the myth that "nice girls don't do things like that". And since, in the adult world, "nice girls" refers to 'women' - both married and single - nice girls are only supposed to be good mothers, homemakers and responsible working women - but not sensual. That's wonderful philosophy - 'if' you happen to be a man. But for a woman, repressing your sensuality means subconsciously repressing your ability to enjoy life itself, because activities like eating, listening to music, and looking at beautiful sights are, in reality, sensual experiences. The truth is that nice girls 'do' have sexual fantasies. Nice girls 'do' talk about sex openly with their mates. Nice girls' do' enjoy sex. All this is in 'addition' to being a good homemaker, mother or working woman.
"Based on the evidence, a reasonable definition of "nice girl" could very well be: a walking mass of sensual guilt. The problem is that when we were children, few of us had the opportunity to talk about sex with our parents. It simply wasn't a subject for discussion. We were led to believe that talking (and even thinking) about sex was almost as bad as "doing it". If we dared to ask questions, the answers we received were, typically, hesitating and awkward. As a result, most of your present practices, prejudices and values about sex were molded for you at a very young age, primarily through the distorted myths and taboos you absorbed from the adults around you. Incredibly, your adult sexual patterns were fixed by archaic notions about sex that were instilled in you as a child. That could mean that you are now allowing an infantile sexual advisor who lives deep within your subconscious, to manage your sexual and sensual affairs of today - a sexual advisor who was trained not to "lose control". As a result, the attitudes of most women toward sex, both married and single, too often reflect resignation and hopelessness. Nonsense! You deserve to be a happy, fulfilled woman."
K.C. STAR, 1/2/19'81'. "Letters" "Nice girls don't" By Mrs. Rebecca Olsen. "In 'The Star', Dec. 14, a full-page ad pictured a book titled "Nice Girls Do", and "Now you can too", written by Dr. Irene Kassorla. This ad, by B. Dalton, extols the virtues of sex for women, married or single, or living as a partner, and openly advises that "Nice girls do it" to fulfill their rights as women. I am aware there are many people engaged in "doing their own thing", including elicit love, and I'm not here to recount the results of such activity as is constantly being evidenced through news and TV. Doesn't the good doctor, "renowned and innovative" as she is proclaimed to be, know the consequences of such advertising or does she choose to ignore them? Her "myth-shattering" book is, to me, set forth as a selfish, pornographic program - the "pleasure process" - because it doesn't limit sex to the married woman. Any female on fire with the sex urge, which includes everybody, is vulnerable. Prostitutes parade upon the TV screen under the guise of beauty and/or dramatic art. Women are being portrayed like victimized beasts they aren't, and their bodies are becoming targets for unspeakable atrocities. Can 'Nice Girls Do' help them? Young ladies may get ideas not compatible with their parents' thinking.
"As an abstainer, I'm not pictured very charitably by the book, but if being frustrated means accepting trash from sick minds, then count me out. What is a "favorite bookseller" doing with a pornographic add like this? Greed, likely, and in time for Christmas! In the pages of every large newspaper you'll probably find the invitation to read this book and others like it, because this ad doesn't begin and end with 'The Star'. Since the good lady surely isn't paying for it herself, the financing seems questionable. You've heard it said, "A country is just as good as its women". And the fact remains: Whose Bible are we going to follow - Dr. Kassoria's or God'?"
The only way to have unlimited passionate sex for all, is to freeze and store the male sperm and the female eggs, and make them sterile. We already have a population explosion, and I don't know what we would do with all the unwanted pregnancies, and sexual disease, if the restraints against pleasure sex, were removed, and all types of sex were allowed, although some types do not produce children but still cause disease. Would Man then have one happy world with everyone satisfied, with none of the problems we face today? In our sexual revolution, many sex restraints have already been ignored, and look at our unsatisfied Society. Sex is not love, and only brings all the problems we have since Adam and Eve reproduced by Body Birth. True Love of Brothers/Sisters of Life, with Equal Sharing, and Selfhood instead of Selfish, is the only thing that will bring Peace, Free Will and Equality. Being One with the Universe, Individual Asexual Selfhood, is the ecstacy people are looking for in the sex act.
K.C. TIMES, 10/23/19'85'. "'Good sex', straight talk making Dr. Ruth a star" By Deborah Neff. "Radio and television personality Ruth Westheimer brought "good sex" to the University of Missouri-Kansas City on Tuesday. And students loved it. Clapping their hands and chanting "Ruth, Ruth, Ruth", more than 750 students welcomed the 57-year-old swami of sex for an afternoon lecture and question-and-answer period. The 4-foot-7-inch grandmotherly looking woman has become a celebrity of some stature. What started in 1980 as a 14-minute radio show at Cornell University, where she teaches and has a full-time sexual therapy practice, has grown into a nationally syndicated radio call-in show called "Sexually Speaking". She is also host of "Good Sex! With Dr. Ruth Westheimer", at 9 p.m. weekdays on the Lifetime cable network. One of her books - 'Dr. Ruth's Guide to Good Sex' - already has been published and three others are in the works. Ms. Westheimer stopped short of encouraging students to experiment sexually, and she said that she is actually "very old fashioned I believe in relationships and marriage and having children". But she said that she is definitely an advocate of birth control and legalized abortion, and that she has a personal philosophy she preaches: "Anything two consenting adults do in the privacy of their bedroom, living room or kitchen floor is all right"."
K.C. TIMES, 10/26/19'85'. "Letters" "Sexual literacy" By Alice Tabb. "I was disappointed to read the report concerning Dr. Ruth Westheimer's visit to Kansas City in the Oct. 23 'Times'. The quotations are correct, but the inferences are not. Dr. Ruth delivered a powerful message with two overriding mandates: We must seek sexual literacy for all, and we must be individually responsible for our sexual behavior. The case studies Dr. Ruth cited indicated why sexual literacy is a must. She deals with clients today who are products of sexual illiteracy of 10 years ago. The discussion of contraceptives supported the necessity of responsible behavior. Dr. Ruth cited recent research statistics to back her beliefs concerning types of contraceptives. I saw no "blushing" and recall no discussion of "timing and positions and " The presentation was honest, and the audience accepted it well."
K.C. TIMES, 9/16/19'85'. "Sexy stories from the Bible" "A new book seems to meet the needs of those whose idea of Bible study is to skim through the Scriptures, stopping only at the juicy parts. 'The X-Rated Bible', published by the American Atheist Press in Austin, Texas, sold out its first printing of 5,000 copies in 2 1/2 weeks, and a second printing is scheduled for late September, atheist leader Madalyn Murray O'Hair said. The $7.95 paperback was issued Aug. 5 with an announcement that it included every "lewd, licentious and vile" sexual story in the Bible."
K.C. STAR, 4/24/99. "Book 'em, Jerry" "When fists fly on "The Jerry Springer Show", guests shouldn't just be separated - they should be arrested, a Chicago City Council member says. Alderman Edward Burke, a former policeman, said the off-duty officers who provide security for the show should enforce the law. He wants to call those officers before the council's Police and Fire Committee. "If they are committing batteries, assaults and other offenses, they why isn't the Police Department taking appropriate action?", Burke asked."
K.C. STAR, 7/26/99. "Temptation comes from many places" By Billy Graham. "Dear Billy Graham: "Does God tempt us to sin, or does temptation come from Satan? I have tried to figure out what the Bible teaches about this but haven't found an answer yet. What does the Bible teach? - T.Y."
"Dear T.Y.: God may permit or allow temptations to come our way to test us and help us grow spiritually, but no, he is not the author of temptation. The Bible puts it this way: "When tempted, no one should say, 'God is tempting me'. For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone" (James 1:13). In other words, God is absolutely holy and good, and nothing impure can come near him. Therefore he cannot tempt us with evil, for he has nothing to do with evil. Where does temptation come from? The Bible gives us two sources. The first is within ourselves, within our own hearts and minds. By nature we are selfish and do not Seek God's will, and "each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed" (James 1:14). The other source is Satan, who (although he is usually unseen and unrecognized) works in every way he can to tempt us and turn us away from God. He even tried to tempt Jesus, although unsuccessfully (see Matthew 4:1-11). Satan is a defeated foe, and when we know Christ, we can conquer temptation by the power of his Holy Spirit. Christ came to change our hearts and to make us into people who want to resist sin and do what is right. Does he live in your heart today? If not, give your life to him without delay."
K.C. STAR, 9/11/99. "Voices Of Faith" "What do different religions consider sin?" "Ignorance of inner divinity creates obstacles" by Arvind Khetia, engineer and a Hindu: "One of the basic tenets of Hindusism is that the human soul is potentially divine. Our ignorance of the divinity of the soul makes us feel separate from one another. This feeling of separateness induces fear and creates ill virtues like hatred, jealousy, selfishness, greed and so on, which are the obstacles on the path of spiritual wisdom. Patanjali, a great saint of ancient India, said, "Ignorance (of one's true nature) creates all other obstacles". These obstacles, then are the cause that results in sin. These ill virtues are not offenses toward a God "out there", but according to the Hindu view, are offenses against our true nature, the God within. When sin is understood as a consequence of the ignorance of one's true nature, then one can overcome sin by the practice of spiritual disciplines instead of considering oneself a hopeless sinner and suffering perpetual guilt. In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna assures us that "you can go beyond all sins by the practice of spiritual wisdom". Spiritual wisdom is a knowledge of the divinity within. When our actions are honest and guided by selfless motives, then we are on the path of attaining spiritual wisdom. Thus, Vedanta gives hope for salvation rather than eternal condemnation. Echoing the teachings of the Upanishads, Swami Vivekanada, in his address to the Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893, said, "Hear, ye children of immortal bliss! We are the children of God, the sharers of immortal bliss, holy and perfect beings. Ye divinities on earth - sinners! It is a sin to call a man so; you are souls immortal, spirits free, blessed and eternal"." -
"Harm to oneself and others constitutes sin" By Rushdy El-Ghussein, former president of the Islamic Society of Greater Kansas City: "In Islam, sin is anything that causes disobedience to God, injustice or harm toward oneself, others or the environment. Human beings, as God's trustees on this earth, are expected to act with honesty, sincerity, justice, courage, self-restraint and self-correction. The Qur'an has a plethora of examples that describe the expected behavior of believers. Any deviation from this behavior is considered a sin. For instance: The servants of (Allah) Most Gracious are "those who, when they spend, are not extravagant and not niggardly, but hold a just (balance) between those extremes. Those who invoke not with (Allah) God, any other god, nor slay such life as Allah has made sacred, except for just cause, nor commit fornication. Those who witness no falsehood and, if they pass by futility, they pass by it with honorable avoidance" (25:67-68 & 72). Another example: "You who believe! Let not some men among you laugh at others: It may be that the latter are better than the former. Nor defame nor be sarcastic to each other. Nor call each other by offensive nicknames: Ill-seeming is a name connoting wickedness (to be used of one) after he has believed and those who do not desist are (indeed) doing wrong. O, you who believe! Avoid suspicion as much as possible, for suspicion in some cases is a sin' and spy not on each other, nor speak ill of each other behind their backs" (49:11-12). The Qur'an is full of examples where an exemplary life is described, and it is up to us to benefit from it. No doubt we, as human beings, will make mistakes, and that is natural. Our mistakes become virtues when we self-correct and benefit from these mistakes by repenting and asking for God's help, forgiveness and repentance."
K.C. STAR, 11/29/99. "God can forgive 'all' past sins" By Billy Graham. "Dear Billy Graham: The wrongful things I did when I was young haunt me. I have tried to make up for them and be a good person, but how do I know those bad things won't keep me out of heaven? - A.Q."
"Dear A.Q.: Only one thing will keep you out of heaven and that is your refusal to accept God's offer of forgiveness. Not one sin, no matter what it is, is beyond his ability to forgive, if we turn to him in repentance and faith. Yes, sin is serious because God is absolutely holy and pure. In fact, sin is so serious that even one sin would be enough to keep you and me out of heaven. God loves you, and he has provided the way for us to be forgiven and saved! That way is Christ, who came from heaven and was without sin but took upon himself all our sins and suffered the judgment we deserve when he died on the cross for us. By Faith accept God's gift for forgiveness today by asking Christ to come into your life and cleanse you and renew you. When we trust him alone for our salvation, he erases the past and we belong to him forever."
K.C. STAR, 5/3/00. "Humans always have a choice" By Billy Graham. "Dear Billy Graham: Do we really have any choice about the decisions we make? It seems to me that everything we do has been ordained for us, and even if we think we are making the decision, it really is fate or destiny, and we don't have any choice about it after all. - B.D."
"Dear B.D.: Theologians and philosophers have debated this question for centuries, so I doubt if I'll be able to answer it in a few paragraphs. However, let me tell you what the Bible says about this, as I understand it. On one hand, the Bible teaches that God is sovereign, and nothing happens unless he permits it. It also teaches that God has a perfect plan for this world, and someday his plan is going to be fulfilled. Satan cannot stop it, nor can we. As the Bible says, "Your word, O Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens: (Psalm 119:89). On the other hand, the Bible teaches that we are responsible for our actions, and we can decide to turn our backs on God and his will. We aren't puppets without any choice, but we can choose between good and evil and, in fact, we must. The Bible says, "Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve" (Joshua 24:15). Can we fully understand these truths? No, not really; our minds are too limited. But God does understand, and someday we will also. God reminds us, "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts" (Isaiah 55:9). Don't get lost in speculation, but by faith make your decision for Christ and then live for him every day."
There are two Natures of Man, Asexual High Tech Higher Nature Beings, and Heterosexual Lower Nature Beings. The Fallen Nature is Selfish. One's true nature, the divinity within, is the genetic memory of High Tech Pure-bred Asexual Selfhood. Man can only be satisfied physically, not with the sex act in whatever form they practice, but when their bodies are genetically corrected, from having so many different incompatible components combined by Uncontrolled Body Birth. Anything made from Hydrogen Atoms, must be kept in Balance or the Unbalance causes Unhappy. Flesh Lust not just for sex, but for food, drink, material 'things', money, greed, and also lying, killing and war, are all the Wages of Original Sin. It is time to understand we are all Genetically Dysfunctional, as no one is in Balance with the Atom Universe, even church people that think they have been saved by 'faith' in a Higher 'Being', or in a Person or Animal sacrifice that died for their Sins. Eternal Physical Life is for the Living, not for the Dead. We now can 'know' about Eternal Physical Life After Birth, and can give up 'faith' in Life After Death. Is there really Life as we know it After Death? Life is for the Living, not the Dead.
