Race of Vipers

By Codyjean

Over the years I have had many questions put to me regarding the living God and his kingdom. Some questions have been specific to the word of God that has been taught to us all from infantacy. These questions are regarding creation, original sin, wars, the work of salvation and the place that christianity has within the kingdom of the living God. I have searched and studied to findanswers to these questionsthat will give every searcher satisfaction in knowledge.

The bible does say that the people perish for lack of knowledge so I hope that this book will open your minds to seek the voice of the word of God within your own life.

My name is Codyjean I have spent many years within the Christian community and always felt that there was something lacking. So I studied, asked questions and eventually found an answer. This may not be the whole answer but it is a start.

Race of Vipers

In the end times it is said that the love of many will wax cold. So we pile ourselves into church congregations singing praises to the living God to ensure that the end of times doesn’t happen in our generation secretly hoping that it will happen in that unknown space of time we call the future.

But even in this our minds think that we are able to keep our lives just the same as they are and that the religious creeds we undertake within our lives will ensure that we will not see the second death. The death we all fear as we all understand that our flesh will eventually pass from this life by disease and age bringing on the end of our bodies but we know that our spirit is eternal and the life of the spirit can go one of two ways. The first way is living in the eternal light of the living God and the other within the walls of the place that all societies dread, Sheol.

When man and women were first created they lived in a beautiful garden where they were given the task of caring for the garden and walked there with the living God when He came down in the evening of His day. There were only two rules within the garden and they were not to eat of two trees one of the trees was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the other was the tree of life.

The instructions were simple and the outcome of disobedience was just as simple. For on the day that the first man and the woman ate of the tree they died as was the word of the living God. But in man’s eye this didn’t happen as man in his desire to be like god didn’t factor into his rebellion the very real truth that one day in the kingdom of the living God equalled one thousand years in man’s time. Thus man decided that the living God was bluffing or on a worse plane was lying when he gave his instructions for the upkeep of the garden. In doing this man was not only wrong in the assumption but also lost the purity of the spirit that was given to him by the living God. This is also the place and time when the first lie was told knowingly. There is a verse in the bible where Jesus states that the father of man, Adam, was a liar from the beginning. In this statement we see that Adam was lying without understanding the implications of his actions prior to the eating of the forbidden fruit which had enabled him to see right from wrong for the first time making him finally aware of his own actions. So we find that after the eating of the fruit from the forbidden tree we see a change in Adam as then when Adam lied he did it understanding exactly what he was doing.

The importance of this has been drowned out by the telling and retelling of the story of the creation of the first man and woman and their time in the Garden of Eden. In the retelling of this story things have been changed, not told or even added to the story thus changing the reality of the fall of man and the disgrace of the fall ending with the death of the physical man and the subsequence death of the spirit given to man by the living God. This second death has been effective in mankind from that time to the end of time.

In the history of mankind there has always been a section of the tribe of man who pleased the living God and a part that had a different outlook on life. This different outlook is what created the race of vipers, not meaning literal vipers or snakes, but a type of man and woman that is filled with maliciousness leading to all the ills that mankind sees on the face of the earth.

The first example of the difference between the sons of man and the race of vipers comes with Adam and Eves first two sons, Cain and Able. One of the these sons displayed the fruit of the spirit of the living God in all his ways, these fruits are noted in Galatians 5, and the other showed the fruit of a man whose heart is driven by callous deceit, murder and lies being a heart that matches the race of vipers. This imbalance in the inner man led to the death of Able, the man who pleased the living God and whom Cain hated because he saw that his brother had found favour over him in the eyes of the living God. I am sure that this sounds familiar to you as it is a story that matches the down fall of Lucifer, when he decided that he would take over the kingdom of the living God, which led to his downfall and permanent placement on the face of the earth while two thirds of the angels who stood with him have been permanently placed in a prison made for them alone.

All through the ages there have been places on the earth where the laws and precepts of the living God have been taught and passed down from son to son enabling each generation to know and understand the power and ways of the living God. You can see that in the chosen race that started with Abraham, a man who was set aside for the kingdom of the living God from birth, right up to the life and times of Jesus who was set aside for the purpose of the living God from the beginning of his life till the end.

The exploits of the sons of the living God have been noted within each generation and these books are still available today. If you are able to get a copy of any of these books and read them you will see a common phrase stated by each generation. An example of this can be found when the sons of Jacob went to Egypt on account of the world wide famine to obtain sustenance for their families to keep them alive. While there they exhibited the physical power belonging to their tribe, a power that caused a lot of havoc within the land of Egypt resulting in all pregnant women going into immediate labour due to the terror felt within the land because of the sons of Jacob. One of Joseph’s sons took hold and detained one of the sons of Jacob making him cease his actions; this caused the sons of Jacob to comment that his actions could only have been taught within their father’s house. So we see those that belonged to the sons of man were brought up differently with integrity, power and purpose. Their integrity was extremely important to their house and the laws, precepts and worship of the living God, only, was very important to them in
