Hypothesis About The Mystery of Iniquity

[Finrock]

God saw man, the offering of Earth to her Lord, unconscious on the High Altar, a sacrifice to Him and a
dedication to the Spirit of Fate. Then from out of the unfathomable heights and from behind the impenetrable
veil, God came down above the Altar and He breathed into man the breath of Eternal Life. Into his sleeping
body God implanted a fragment of Himself, the Seed of a Soul and the Spark of Divinity, a man the mortal
became man the heir of God and the inheritor of immortality. Henceforth he would have dominion over God's
earthly estate, but he also had to unravel the Circles of Eternity, and his destiny was to be an everlasting seeking
and striving.

This view actually solves a huge theological problem: why God “permits” evil. In your framing, He doesn’t permit it out of negligence — He permits it because unless evil is fully *demonstrated*, worms could always suspect it was secretly the better path.

The child was raised sternly, for he needed the fortitude, courage and cunning of a man, to fit him for the task
ahead. He grew wily and wiry in the hunt; he became adaptable, able to cope with any untoward happening.
Overcoming the bewilderments of early days he found explanations for the perplexities of his surroundings. Yet
the struggle for knowledge, the need for adaptation and the effort to survive were never relaxed. The Earthchild
was well trained and disciplined, he was never unduly mollycoddled. He cried for bread and went hungry, he
shivered and was cast out, he was sick and driven into the forest. Weary he was lashed with storms, thirsty he
found the wasters dried up. When weak his burden was increased and in the midst of rejoicing he was struck
down with sorrow. In moments of weakness he cried, "Enough!" and doubted his destiny; but always something
fortified and encouraged him, the Earthling never forfeited his godlikeness.
For man was man, he was not cowed, nor his Spirit broken; a wise God knew his limitations. As it is written in
the wisdom of men, 'over chastisement is as bad as no chastisement at all'. But man was rarely chastised, he was
tried, tested and challenged; he was led, prodded and urged, yet nothing was done unneccessairily. The seeming
imperfections of Earth, the hazards and inequalities of life, the cruelty, harshness and apparent indifference to
suffering and affliction are not what they seem; as it is, Earth is perfect for its purpose. It is ignorance of that
purpose which makes it appear imperfect.
Where is there a wiser father than the Spirit of God, or a better mother than Earth? What man is now he owes to
these, may he learn to be duly grateful. Above all let him never forget the lessons learned in his upbringing.

Sin is not listening or obeying the Spirit of Truth within you. If you are not a tare, you will have at least a portion of the Spirit of Truth in you.

When you neglect this Spirit, you sin and you will suffer the consequences. But you can turn from sin and begin to listen and to obey to the Spirit of Truth inside of your body.

The Voice speaks to you, if you can hear it, and if you obey it and do what the Voice says, The Spirit of Truth, you will be well. Atonement comes from loving God and obeying His words. As you obey and do the things the Spirit says, you are literally transferring your time, energy, your life force, to this Spirit. You are sacrificing the flesh for the Spirit and when you do this, the Spirit inside of you gains power, it grows, and this brings healing and atonement. You become One with this Spirit.

If you stop obeying and listening, then the Spirit of Truth inside of you will begin to weaken because it is not getting attention, like a plant, it will eventually wither and die. For God spoke in the very beginning that the Spirit of God will not always strive with man.

So Man, as you still have time, strive with the portion of Spirit you have and the Spirit will, shall, strive with you in Eternity.

Take up your cross and bear it, for Christ and do His works.

A fascinating examination!

I believe that I read above that antichrist is first a systemic weakness in the (pre) creation rather than a localized intelligence. In the creation this antichrist localized within a covering cherub that rebelled.

28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

So is a covering cherub a being or a piece of equipment? It was setup in the holy mountain of God. It interacted directly with the stones of fire. It worked perfectly in its intended function.

28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

It had its function in the Garden of Eden. It functioned in everything of the Garden. But one day iniquity was found in its functioning. So this creation was meant to be perfect and to be everlasting. However, at some point in time iniquity of the system became apparent as the system became degenerate. We have been in a degenerating system ever since it was created. The apple being eaten therefore was inevitable. Man became sinful because the system was flawed from the beginning. The cherub being perfect in his ways was an illusion as iniquity was part of it from its creation.
