Sin, then, came to this earth when repulsed from Heaven, and will always be here, and will always fight the good that is in the world. We think it is best for mankind to be ignorant of some things. Sin will, through ignorance, cause mankind to sin. If we think it best to grow in knowledge, Sin will cause us to sin through knowledge. What then must we do? We must watch, and by knowledge by intelligence, rise above sin. When I say that our human nature we get from Satan-that is, our flesh and blood nature,-do not misunderstand me to say that God did not make this world. God made all things, and He made this planet with all other planets, the sun, and moon, and stars. Do you know the history of the moon? We are told that it is dead, yet it follows on God's law— and those who may have lived on it are alive no more yet the moon revolves, and reflects light. That the race of mankind are on this earth does not affect this earth, the laws of this planet go on the same, we have nothing to do with these laws, we cannot change them in the least. Sin, or Satan, as you wish to call it, was driven to this earth from Heaven, and that life which must die came here in that way. Pray do not misunderstand me! In our flesh and blood body we are not, we can not be of the Image of God-for God is a Spirit. |
