CHAPTER TWO

THE WITNESS

 

This writing will reveal the truth of Genesis and the origins of all life on this planet. What does it matter if it is different from other planets; if it was brought here or if it is subsequent to planet formation? Does it make you love less? Does it give you power? Certainly knowledge is power but only over those who are less knowledgeable. Do you lord it over them or do you share it as a gift?

 

The Spirit of Truth has come into the world not to lord it over people but to share knowledge for the sake of spiritual growth. One cannot grow spiritually if one is stunted by dogma. One is not a good Christian if one does not know Truth!

 

Identify the Spirit of Truth. Look inside your heart and ask yourself what you thirst after. Jesus spoke of this thirst on many occasions and we will return to this thirst for knowledge later but for now become acquainted with the spirit within you that moves you to seek knowledge. This is the Spirit of Truth and it is sent to everyone equally from God. What you do with this gift is up to you. You are given the choice to use it wisely or to misdirect it.

 

Many people fall under misconception and it is their very own misconceptions which lead them away from truthful knowledge and into the snares and pits of deception. Such are caught up quickly by false prophets into a myriad of stupid cults. Please don’t be one of them!

 

Be wary of all you are taught because even the teacher may be misled. Test all knowledge that it is sure and true. Scan for viruses in your knowledge. Be certain. Only then will you know truth. God does not fear such stringent tests. In fact God implores you to undertake the rigours of learning and test all knowledge. Test the spirits so that you will know the Spirit of Truth.

 

1Jo:4:1: Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

 

Truth holds comfort with itself. It is only misconception which argues with truth. Genesis therefore cannot in any way argue with the theory of evolution if it is truthful.

 

Perhaps it is not the Book of Genesis which is at fault! Perhaps for centuries our ancestors have simply been misled not by vanity but by not knowing the reality of evolution. This was no fault of theirs. Such insight only came to us recently. Perhaps it is time to re-read the Book of Genesis without the prejudices of past ages.

 

A good Christian has a duty to be truthful. There are some truths about God which first need to be re-stated. No person has seen God at any time.

 

Joh:1:18: No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

 

1Jo:4:12: No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

 

This means that the only evidence that god exists at all is evidence of faith. A belief in god is a faith. Faith itself cannot be certain, unless it is based on truth. You hold and trust that mathematics gives you exact and predictable results and your faith in this is strong because you know it to be truthful. Likewise your faith that God the Father  exists, will be strengthened when you learn the truth about Genesis because the knowledge which you have tested for; the cause of evolution will be proved.

 

Truth does not compete with itself but instead bolsters itself and becomes a fortress. Your knowledge is your fortification against being misled and deceived. God is not a deceiver of women, men or children. All deception and misconception is relegated to the realm of Satan, the king of deceit. All people who are deluded by misconception fall prey to this troublesome spirit. A troubled spirit it is indeed!

 

Unfortunately all persons are tested and tempted from time to time but we have a saving grace in the Spirit of Truth which drives us and inspires us to discover truth. This enables us to alter our viewpoints and perspectives to change our mind and to grow.

 

Knowing this therefore prepares us for the changes we are about to pursue. Genesis is not false and neither is the theory of evolution. They are just worlds apart.

 

You would no sooner attempt to describe a mathematical problem through the medium of poetry than you would describe heaven with mathematics. The mere suggestion is ludicrous! So why compare Genesis with Science?

 

This is nit-picking of the finest order nevertheless we will reveal secrets which have been kept from you, all these millennia. They were known before Egypt became a civilisation then they were lost, re-discovered and lost once again. They have been rediscovered and lost many times throughout history.

 

Great religious orders were set up especially to guard against these secrets being permanently lost. Yet they all failed. These days no one knows what the secrets are;

 

M'r:4:11: And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

 

Eph:6:19: And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

 

1Tm:3:9: Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

 

These secrets are lost through pompous traditions. The secret is no secret at all and yet it is unknown.

 

I will tell you what you already know and suddenly insight will flash through your brain like lightning and you will say to yourself “I knew that!” But it will still feel like an epiphany because your portion; your Spirit of Truth will reveal this insight and you will know that God has spoken to you.

 

It was said earlier that knowledge is power. Truthful knowledge is power indeed such power you cannot imagine. The secrets revealed by Christ will give you such power. How vast is this power? This power is so great that it will give you power over miracles just as the prophets and apostles had power over miracles.

 

This is no blasphemy to truth on the contrary it testifies that these boastings are indeed truthful. It is the proof, as it were; that all the wondrous things of the Bible are indeed truthful.

 

Do not scoff with a scientific mind just yet. Finish reading the book before you judge it but be wary because with power comes great responsibility and the greatest responsibility of all is to not betray truthfulness. Do not turn truth into a delusion and do not delude others. How could I write such things if I had no idea of truth? You will see if you read on that things aren’t always as they appear to be on the surface. There are deeper meanings, deeper interpretations and a more intense trust than you have previously known. This is all about to be revealed to you in the next few minutes if you choose to read on.
