Page 171 - THE REVELATION OF THE THIRD HEAVEN and THE MEAT OF THE WORD

The individual and parabolical Adam chose the Law (Gen 2:17), the curse of death
(Gen 2:17, 6:3, Rom 8:2, 20, Gal 3:10) in disobedience to God (Gen 2:17) just as
all men initially do (Deut 29:15) even extra-terrestrial 'men' (Deut 29:28, 30:4, 11-
14, - the references are addressed to those under the law i.e. all men as in all men
are under the Law unless saved Gen 2:17, Rom 1:20, 3:19, 7:1, 10:3), in that man
attempts to attain his own righteousness one way or another by works of one form
or another (Rom 2:14-15, 7:1, 10:3, Phil 3:9). What was different about Israel was
that God materially revealed more of the Law in detail to them (Deut 29:29, Rom
3:2). The individual and parabolical Adam and the evolved Man / Adam (Gen 5:1-
2) had and has always had Salvation available to them instead of the Law, as well
as being under the Law (Gen 1:29, 2:9, 3:22, Rom 1:20, 5:13).

God is both the curse of death, the Law (Gen 2:17, Deut 30:10, John 1:1, Gal
3:10), and the blessing of life, Salvation (Rev 20:15, 22:13), and reconciles these in
a mysterious antinomy, most notably by His death on the cross at the forsaking
(Mat 27:46, Mark 15:34), whilst also still being the Living God (Psalm 42:2, John
6:57). Christ is the Way as he reconciles by fulfillment the two indivisible aspects
of the one God, namely the Law and Salvation (Mat 5:17-18, Rom 10:4, Rev
22:13). Death, as a mysterious antinomy, meanwhile is both put to death and yet
also continues as the second death even after the Last Judgement and the post-
Judgement last repentance (Phil 2:10-11, Rev 20:14, 21:8, 22:13). God is the Law
of curse, sin and death but is not sin (2 Cor 5:21, 1 John 1:5) although He became
sin (2 Cor 5:21) for us as another necessary and mysterious reconciliation and
antinomy (Deut 30:10, John 1:1, Rom 8:2, Gal 3:10).

The flesh, uncleaness, harmful influences and things, including the accusations of
Satan, are conquered not by being under the Law but by Salvation (Acts 13:39).

The blessings and curses of the Law in general and particular apply to those under
the Law as the default (see defaults) but the Prime Principle (see Suffering and
Abundance) takes precedence. This also applies to the laws, as the whole Law is
one unit (Gal 3:10, Jam 2:10), with promise such as honouring parents (Ex 20:12,
Deut 5:16, Mat 15:4, 19:19, Mark 7:10, 10:19, Luke 18:20, Eph 6:2) and the
specific curses (Lev 20:20-21). There is no special distinction between the laws
with promise and the rest of the Law as the whole Law was enveloped in the many
and detailed promises of blessings/curses (Lev 26:3-46), an abundant life, healthy
children, success and a long life (Deut 4:40, 7:14-15, 28:1, 30:19-20, 1 Kings 2:3,
Mal 2:9). Tithing is part of the Law (Lev 27:30) and therefore as inapplicable to a
Christian as any other part of the Law, it having been all vicariously fulfilled on
our behalf (Rom 4:15, 8:1).
