Truth for Born-Again

By Perse D. Imm

Heaven and Hell are futuristic, not currently real, but men's spirits, religion, fear, born-again and heavenly joy are. Men's spirits are dead. That's why men in general cannot have any realistic spiritual understandings and easily devoured by religion. They are born into this world physically, carrying the corpses of spirits. That's also why all men have fear. Fear is the smell of a spirit-corpse. Men of fear, religion and the knowledge of good and evil are not qualified to be in Paradise Regained, but are destined to be thrown into the Hell-fire; the final cleaning step of re-creation. To be freed from fear, religion and the ominous knowledge of good and evil, men must be born-again. It's the only task that all men must have it realized during their life time. It's not the task of men, but God-Almighty's that should be accomplished and realized, never by men's efforts, but totally by God the Father's. Born-again is never man's work, never religious. Man, not as animal-kind, cannot die individually. All men had died, as a whole, at the first death, and will die again at the second universal event of death at the end of human history. Genuine life and death, having nothing to do with existence, are spiritual, not physical as with animals. Man will exist forever either dead or alive. God desires to make all men be born-again with their revived spirits to be qualified for His newly created Kingdom. For God to make a man born-again, man needs to know some basic historical information to be motivated for His re-creation. All natural men, spiritually-dead, are just 'dust'. God needs 'dust' for His new creation of man; not living-dust, which is improbable, but just dead 'dust'. God gave Adam the life, which was spiritual and genuine. But Satan, in the body of a serpent, gave him the knowledge of good and evil. There's something that men must give up to acquire the eternal life, that is, the Satanic knowledge of good and evil, not to speak of all its applications. All religious merits must be denied totally, which are nothing else but the Tower of Babel designed and being built by men based on the Satanic knowledge of good and evil. The Truth that all men must know to be freed by from 'fear of death' is hidden in the jungle of thoughts and history in the Bible.

CHAPTER I : PHYLOSOPHY AND RELIGION

PHYLOSOPHY, RELIGION AND THEOLOGY

It could be said; philosophy was originated by men, religion by the Serpent, and theology by God. By philosophy, men can find the problem of human life; by religion, men will be led into the abyss of eternal segregation from the world; and, by successful knowledge of theology, men will solve the problem recovering the relationship with the eternity which had been lost in the beginning of human history.

Philosophy is the study of men seeking an ultimate meaning of human life and setting up a substantial purpose of life, if any, during human physical lives on the earth. It is based on the mortality of human life, and denies the eternity of man’s souls by rejecting the reality of any invisible things such as miracles, spirits, Heaven and Hell.

By philosophy, men cannot expect any permanent solution to satisfy man’s desire of eternity. When any philosopher, being dissatisfied with current situation of man’s destiny, seeks anything beyond this three dimensional universe, he will find the contradiction, because, in philosophy, they deny the realistic value of anything invisible, yet the value he seeks after is something that transcends the physical and visible reality. He may have to cross over the limit of philosophy to find the solution.

This problem of self-contradiction, seeking something beyond physical reality within finite reality, could be got over by a personal experiencing of a miracle, which could come from a rare chance of education to learn the superior reality, though invisible, transcending the general visible reality.

When Socrates said, That is not I, pointing his feet that were being paralyzed, he admitted man’s souls are independent from the bodies. Even though his body died, his soul would stay as ever invisibly.

In philosophy, a man is a unity of body and soul, not of spirit. There's no spiritual death, all deaths are just physical bodily death, which is nothing but the end of functioning of the bodily organs. It is same with the concept of life. It is totally the movement or functioning of the body, never of the human individual spirit. Even though they use the same words 'death' and 'life' as in the Bible, the meanings are different.

In the Bible, the words, 'life' and 'death' were absolutely spiritual, never physical, functioning or not. Man’s physical bodies have nothing to do with life or death. Man’s bodies, just like animals', can't live, nor die. They can only function or not.

The origin of life in the Bible was the breath of God, which was spiritual. Adam with God's breath of life in his spirit was called a 'living soul'. When he lost the life, he was called a 'dust'. The human beings who are definitely alive in philosophy are just the particles of dust in the Bible. The human lives in the current world are just the process of returning to the soil on the ground-'dust to dust'. There is no room for the genuine spiritual life in human activities in the world. The death in philosophy is just the stopping of the functioning of the bodily organs ready to return to the soil chemically.

Considering the genuine original life and death, the history of mankind as a whole is the movement of dead bodies on the earth. There is no life, no light: all are dead corpses in darkness. Human history is just the history of dead men, or spiritual corpses.

According to the Bible, genuine 'human life' in this world must come by resurrection, and genuine 'death' is the second death, the Hell. Men cannot think they are really 'living' until they, their spirits, are resurrected from the current dead situation, if not, they will attend a universal ominous ceremony which will be held for all the dead persons, after which all the dead souls will be thrown into the lake of fire of brimstone.

In philosophy, there's not a substantial difference between men and animals, by which the Darwinian theory of evolution may well be seen natural, probable and scholastic. As man’s capability being limited, philosophy will stay the same as far as men cannot skip over the current limitation.

If death being seen a problem to get over, or seeking a better situation without any limits, men must develop the technology in medical science anyhow up to much higher degree so that man’s bodily organs could be functioning fresh forever.

Religion is for the men of eternity. Men, confined in the body, seek the destiny beyond physical lifetime. But, in religion, they don’t regard man as a spiritual being, living or dead. Man functions just as with the body and soul, no spirit. Man and the animal are basically the same except man’s motivation for eternity. The animal may not seek eternity at all, but man does. As men are not spiritual beings, spirits or gods are considered to be on higher ranks than men, and it is prohibited for men to reason with gods as beings on the equal status. The main being of man is the body, not the soul, not to speak of the spirit. This typical ignorance of man’s spirituality in religion misled its followers far away from the Truth into illusion. It is a taboo in religion to seek the Truth realistically, historically and scientifically. Religion is the enemy against the Truth.

Religion or religious instinct is based on the feeling of fear and uses the knowledge of good and evil as the absolute norm in deciding man’s destiny for eternity. By religion, men were to use the forbidden knowledge of good and evil for man-made productivity instead of giving it up.

God showed how to solve the problem of fear by the Law. Men could be freed from fear by a substitution sacrifice of some clean animals. All those animals which were killed by shedding of blood and sacrificed on the alter were just the substitutes for persons and symbolized the real sacrifice God the Creator would prepare; the Lamb of God. The death of Jesus the Lamb of God was necessary for men to be freed from man’s concept of any religious obligation and the God-forbidden knowledge of good and evil. Just as Jesus had been physically killed on the Cross, man’s concept of religion and knowledge of good and evil must be killed clear in person’s minds.

For any reason, God the Creator didn’t allow men to possess the knowledge of good and evil. As soon as men should give up that knowledge and all its effects, men can be revived onto the same position where God originally wanted them to be, which is the son-ship; being equal with God as the Father. Biblical salvation is the freedom from the shackle of religion and the inner Serpentine knowledge of good and evil.

The unique view of religion is that man’s eternal destiny is determined by the style of behavior during man’s physical life-time. The style of behavior was classified as good or bad; good behavior for the reward in the Paradise, bad behavior for punishment in Hell. But the way of judgment is not clear, rather whimsical, relative and never logical. It is a strict taboo to do any scientific research on religious subjects. Religion is absolutely against science and logic. By scientific and logical research, religion will be evaporated into nothing. God or gods in religion are locked up into a confinement, and it is prohibited for men to get access to Him or them to speak or reason with them on equal status. Men are under permanent obligation to produce anything good, even out of bad mentality, which is logically improbable. According to the Bible, a righteous man cannot produce anything bad, and vice versa; any man of bad mentality cannot produce anything good anyhow. The religious urge to produce good behavior is just the urge to violate the will of God from whom the Truth should come out.

It is nothing but the wise Serpentine advice to estrange and to keep men His creatures away from God the Creator the Father permanently.

By religion, God is totally misunderstood by men, and any possibility for men to seek after Him realistically is prohibited. In this sense, theology, the study of God, must be a graceful act of God toward men His own creatures. By theology, men can seek the revelation of God. By the theology of Jesus’ Cross, men can understand and meet God personally as the Father. Theology itself, man’s study of God, is the gift of God, which must be made possible through the satanic walls of estrangement, ignorance, prohibition, taboo and human traditions that had been tightly intermingled with religion. Men must be freed from religion first to have the knowledge of God. Men need to resist the concept of religion and its specifics to seek after God. But unfortunately, men cannot stand against their traditions for themselves. To be free from tradition is impossible without God's initiative intervention. And once He intervened, He will surely be found by the seekers.

Theology presupposes two facts: 1) Men are spiritual beings so that God who is a spirit can be related with men as in the father-and-son relationship. 2) The perfect love of God serious, positive and powerful enough to initiate the whole process of His revelation to the eyes of the fortunate seekers.

Positivism of theology is that: everything in theology is about God, not men; who He is, what He did and do, and how, etc.. It should not imply any concept of obligation for men as it does in religion. It’s the source of wisdom for man to possess; never a norm for any physical applications.

Salvation was God’s task all the way from initiating and planning through performing and finishing. There is salvation where God is, but there is only eternal destruction where men are. Whatever men do, good or bad, eternal destruction is destined by the universal event of the first death through the first couple, Adam and Eve. Men just need to research the deeds of God carefully, understanding the meaning of His activity.

A dead body can't feel or have any desire, because it is just a corpse. A normal man, being dead in his spirit, cannot have any spiritual feelings or desires. Man’s seeking of God is just the result of His initiative calling of men. It is not that men sought after God, but that God the Father sought after men, all men because all men are made qualified for His Fatherly seeking in His sight by the death and resurrection of Jesus. God’s calling of all men through Jesus is a universal event transcending the concept of time and space. If a man turns his sight into himself instead of believing the good news and saying thank you! he must be snared onto the trap set by the inner god the Serpent who is growling in the depth of human mind, the subconscious.

A lost child can be met successfully by its parent, not by its crying or wanderings but by its parent's desperate and effective efforts. Not to speak when kidnapped.

If Jesus didn't get victory over religion by his conquering death, or by his resurrection, the subject of theology couldn't be on the list to be studied anywhere in the world. It was necessary means for God the Father to reach His children down on the earth. By the death and resurrection of Jesus, men could be met by God.

Men seeking after God, which is the very theme of theology, had been made possible as the result of the event of the death and resurrection of Jesus.

All the born-again believers, the children of God, are just the produce of the initiating Words of God for His second creation, which has nothing to do with any human ideas good or bad, negative or positive.

------------------------------

And God said, Let there be light! and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good :( Genesis1:4)

EXISTENTIALISM AND THE CROSS

In existentialism of philosophy, death is the only real subject in all human matters. Whatever men may do, it is just peripheral, temporary, relative and conditional. Nothing except death will last till the end. Death turns everything else in human knowledge into nothing eventually. And realistically speaking, the concept of death itself should turn to be nothing after the moment of death, together with the existentialism or the philosophy itself. There could not be anything like ‘the purpose of life’ meaningful enough everlastingly. Once men do not or cannot give any purpose of life to animals, man’s life cannot carry anything like that either.

The death in existentialism could be equal to the death of Jesus in conception and in theology. Both are at the top of all that a man could think of in significance. Nothing can be compared with them in gravity. The event of the Cross, which means the death and resurrection of Jesus, is the culmination of all stories, happenings, and events in human history as far as God's purposeful involvement into human history is concerned.

Jesus put down his life very reluctantly, yet voluntarily, or obediently. He could submit his own will under God’s will because he had the wisdom of knowing Him and His will. He understood the reason, the necessity and the results of his death according to His will. He had to enter the cave of death himself in order to conquer it for the eternal benefit of men. It was the long desire of the Creator since the fall of Adam and Eve.

Both the death in existentialism and the death of Jesus could not be the same if the death of Jesus had not been claimed for the sin of the world as the once-for-all substitution. He died the common death of all men in order to deliver them from death. Jesus' death replaced man's common death so that there should be no death in human destiny any more.

Death in existentialism is just like the Black Hole in the universe, which devours up every star into peach black. Existentialism itself is to be devoured by death at the end. There should be no hope in existentialism. But, there is hope when that death in existentialism is transferred into the death of Jesus. His death includes all deaths of all individuals. All human beings are to be devoured peach black into the death of Jesus, the Cross. The aftermath, the rest is never silence, but it’s Resurrection!

Existentialism should end with death, but Jesus shouldn't. He had overcome the death. He went into the cave of death and, never being devoured by it, but conquered it. His victory over death-his resurrection-was the very thing that men desperately needed, yet had never expected. It was God’s new creation of new life out of death; a man with eternal life out of the dust, the natural man with dead spirit.

When Jesus explained his disciples about his own death and resurrection, none of his disciples could understand what he was talking about at all. The concept of resurrection after death was something that couldn’t be fit for the capacity of thinking within their brains, which was just typical for all human beings in general. More than anything else, it is undoubtedly clear that Satan the Serpent himself didn’t know the possibility of resurrection, either. If he had ever imagined that Jesus might rise from the dead, he wouldn’t have manipulated to kill him. He might have developed any other way without getting rid of Jesus out of human world that could ruin the work of God eventually.

Just as Jesus had identified himself as all human beings in his physical death on the Cross, his resurrection was also not just for himself but also for all human beings that he stood for in death. As all men once died within Jesus, they also rose from death in Jesus by his resurrection.

It is really fantastic news that man lives forever by the death of one righteous man Jesus. The truthfulness of its simplicity is the very source of heavenly joy in the mind of the childlike believers. God never called adults. He liked to call them, Children!

God the Creator, the Father, who once said, You are dust! now guaranteed men the eternal life by saying, You shall never die! no matter what, through the mouth of Jesus.

Jesus died for all human beings whoever lived in the world in the past including Adam, Noah, King David, prophet Isaiah, his physical mother Mary and Judas Iscariot, and whoever lives in the world currently, and also whoever will be born into this world in the future till the end of human history. There is no exceptions, no differentiations among men as far as God, who initiated the plan of man’s salvation, stays as the Creator of all human beings, not to speak of all other things in the whole universe. The difference should be by ‘who heard His voice of the message, or not?'

Jesus declared, The time will come that the people who are in the grave shall hear His voice. Whosoever that hears His voice shall live.

God expects the hearers of His voice to call upon His name. He once said, Whosoever should call upon His name shall be delivered. The content of the message of His voice is simple and clear all through the history. He may possibly have got bored of hearing man’s prayers. He may neglect man’s asking of all kinds of secular things, yet, He could never let the call of His name go without His full attention. The whole book of the Bible was written for the single purpose that He should respond to the call of His name with full force. He will respond to His name call even from the end of the universe.

The name of God the Creator that we can call, just as we do other persons, is 'Jesus'.

Jesus was given many names in the Old Testament. One of them was 'Immanuel', meaning 'God with us'. God the Creator, the Father of all the living, having been initiated by His perfect love, incarnated and came into the human world only to take the death of all men away from man’s destiny with His almighty power.

The problem of death is the most serious and gravest matter in human thoughts, but as for God, it is lighter than a piece of cake. It is never a problem anymore because He had already paid its full price through Jesus.

Men in the grave shall live, not by man’s expecting or any other kinds of man’s efforts, but only by His words. The whole universe had been created by the same words.

When He said, Let there be light! and there was light.

Whatever He said, it was done just as He had said. It is not a matter of what men think or do, or not do, good or bad, but only of what He said, His will, and its contents, its meaning.

When a man, called Lazarus whom Jesus had well known, died and laid in a tomb for four days, Jesus, who was filled with sympathy and couldn’t resist weeping, cried out loudly, Lazarus, come out! and the corpse of Lazarus got up and walked out of the tomb revived.

Lazarus was not revived by his efforts of any kinds or his hope. He came back to life only by the will of Jesus and his voice.

If any man in this world could hear the voice of God, saying, XXX (the name of the person), have eternal life! he should have the eternal life, wanting or not, only by the power of the word of God.

God called every single person as the recipient of the reward of the death of Jesus, which was the eternal life. God called every name of all human beings in the history including the future till the end of time.

By the blood of Jesus shed on the Cross for the sin of the world, theoretically speaking, all man’s names are already recorded in the book of eternal life. There is full rightfulness of that assertion unless the death and resurrection of Jesus was not real. It was the will of God that every man to be saved. He is calling everyone without any exceptions. The wrath of God will be upon the great Estranger and his followers who deny the message of the will of God the Father and will not come to join the feast God will hold in Heaven.

All men are saved, not by any of man’s efforts, good or bad, better or worse, best or worst, but only by what He said. All man-made contributions, merits and values must be thoroughly denied as far as a soul is to be saved by the hand of God. The man-made Tower of Babel, originated from man’s concern, must be demolished down to the point of ground zero for the souls to live peacefully in the God-made city of New Jerusalem.

Man needs wisdom, the wisdom of knowing His will, which is nothing but the Gospel, God's spelling for man. The will of God that men think is just the will of men elevated. It is hidden from man’s eyes. Being new, it comes as a serious challenge at first. It cannot be understood and accepted until the Tower of Babel, which symbolizes any man-made religious merits, must be totally abandoned in the mind.

Man’s knowledge about the will of God must be updated.

The commandment of God has been changed through ages. The commandment of God for Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden was ‘not to eat the fruits of knowledge of good and
