PAGE 27 BEAUTY AND THE BEAST(TREE OF GOOD AND EVIL)

THE TREE OF LIFE REPRESENTS GOD'S PERFECT WORD AND PLAN THAT LEADS TO LIFE;  YESHUA, JESUS, PERSONIFIES THIS TREE.  THE TREE OF LIFE IS GODLY WISDOM.  IN ORDER TO BE GOD'S CHILDREN WE HAVE TO ACCEPT IN HUMILITY THAT GOD OUR FATHER KNOWS MORE THAN WE DO AND THAT HE IS OMNISCIENT OR ALL KNOWING.  GOD SAYS IN THE BOOK OF ISAIAH:

"FOR MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS, NEITHER ARE YOUR WAYS MY WAYS, DECLARES THE LORD.  AS THE HEAVENS ARE HIGHER THAN THE EARTH, SO ARE MY WAYS HIGHER THAN YOUR WAYS AND MY THOUGHTS THAN YOUR THOUGHTS." ISA 55: 8-9

WE MUST HUMBLY ACCEPT THAT GOD'S WAYS ARE NOT OUR WAYS.  YESHUA SAYS THAT WE MUST HAVE THIS HUMBLE POSTURE, AS A CHILD IS IN RELATIONSHIP TO HIS FATHER, IN ORDER TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. HE SAYS:

"TRULY I TELL YOU, UNLESS YOU CHANGE AND BECOME LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN, YOU WILL NEVER ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.  THEREFORE, WHOEVER TAKES THE LOWLY POSITION OF THIS CHILD IS THE GREATEST IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN." MATT 18: 3-4

THE TREE OF LIFE OR YESHUA, JESUS, IS THE GOSPEL OF GOD:  WE MUST HUMBLY ACCEPT THAT WE ARE IN NEED OF GOD'S SALVATION AND HELP AND THAT WE CANNOT POSSESS ALL THE KNOWLEDGE THAT YAHWEH ELOHIM DOES.

THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL IS THE WISDOM OF THIS WORLD AND OF MAN.  IT IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF EVIL PERSONIFIED BY SATAN AND HIS DEMONS. IT IS THE GOSPEL OF SATAN AND THE TEACHING OF DOCTRINES OF DEMONS.  THE FOLLOWING SCRIPTURES ALL SPEAK ABOUT THIS:

"SUCH WISDOM DOES NOT COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN BUT IS EARTHLY, UNSPIRITUAL, OF THE DEVIL."  JAMES 3:15

"FOR THE WISDOM OF THIS WORLD IS FOOLISHNESS IN GOD'S SIGHT.  AS IT IS WRITTEN; 'HE CATCHES THE WISE IN THEIR CRAFTINESS'"  1 COR 3: 19

"THE SPIRIT CLEARLY SAYS THAT IN LATER TIMES SOME WILL ABANDON THE FAITH AND FOLLOW DECEIVING SPIRITS AND THINGS TAUGHT BY DEMONS." 1 TIM 4:1

"NOW I SAY TO THE REST OF YOU IN THYATIRA, TO YOU WHO DO NOT HOLD TO HER TEACHING AND HAVE NOT LEARNED SATAN'S SO-CALLED DEEP SECRETS." REV 2:24

"SO THAT YOUR FAITH MIGHT NOT REST ON MEN'S WISDOM, BUT ON GOD'S POWER."  1 COR 2:5

"SEE TO IT THAT NO ONE TAKES YOU CAPTIVE THROUGH HOLLOW AND DECEPTIVE PHILOSOPHY, WHICH DEPENDS ON HUMAN TRADITION AND THE BASIC PRINCIPALS OF THIS WORLD RATHER THAN ON CHRIST." COL 2:8

THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL, WHICH IS THE GOSPEL OF THE SERPENT OR SATAN, IS THE WORSHIP OF MAN OVER GOD; THE WORSHIP OF SELF OVER GOD AND OTHERS; AND THE WORSHIP OF THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD OVER HEAVENLY THINGS.  IT IS THE WORSHIP OF HUMAN INTELLECT AND REASON.  YAHWEH ELOHIM GAVE MAN HIS INTELLECT AND REASONING ABILITIES,  BUT THE GOSPEL OF SATAN ELEVATES MAN'S INTELLECT AND REASON OVER GOD.  IT SAYS THAT THERE IS NO NEED FOR GOD:  MAN CAN SOLVE ALL PROBLEMS; MAN CAN BRING ABOUT WORLD PEACE; MAN CAN UNIFY ALL THE NATIONS; AND MAN CAN CREATE UTOPIA ON EARTH. IF MAN CAN LEARN THE SECRET THINGS OF SATAN, HE CAN BRING SALVATION TO HIMSELF.  TO A LESSER DEGREE, IT TEACHES THAT MAN CAN SAVE HIMSELF BY HIS OWN WORKS AND DOESN'T NEED THE SALVATION PROVIDED BY GOD.

IT IS A MIXING OF GOOD AND EVIL. NO SEPARATION. CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE WICKED.  THE WICKED PROSPER AND THE RIGHTEOUS SUFFER.
