Page 192 - THE REVELATION OF THE THIRD HEAVEN and THE MEAT OF THE WORD

In the parable Adam is told he could and should ('shall') eat of the Tree of Life
(Gen 1:29), he 'should' as he was under the Law-in-spirit as are angels unless and
until saved (Gen 1:29, Rom 1:20, 3:10, 20) and the Tree of Life is the escape from
the Law's applicability, but once under the law-in-spirit-and-flesh, God had to
institute death to 'bring' the parabolical Adam to Salvation (Gen 2:17, 3:22, 6:3,
Rom 7:18, 23, 8:20). Death motivates man toward salvation (Rom 8:20) and
eternal life can not be obtained solely by one's own action which is why Adam was
prevented from 'eating' of eternal life by his own volition irrespective of call, grace
and faith (Gen 3:22 'put forth his hand').

God is comprised of no internal or self-contradiction having one nature (Mal 3:6, 1
John 1:5). The power of God is that He is absolutely consistent and treats others as
He treats Himself (Mat 7:12, Heb 2:18, 4:15). The Golden Rule expresses God’s
nature and imperative in that He is His own God, (Mat 27:46, Mark 15:34, John
20:17), that is why He is Triune (Gen 3:22, Mat 27:46, Mark 15:34), and would
that He be worshipped as God by others (Mat 22:37-40, Mark 12:30-31). That is
why a Man wishing to be God must obey the Golden Rule and be under the Law as
the Golden Rule is the Law (Mat 7:12). The created beings know what God is and
that He is His own God (John 20:17, Rom 1:20), that He is the only God (Rom
1:20, Jam 2:19) and that because He is as He is that is why He is God (Ex 3:14,
Rom 1:20). Therefore they try to establish their status as God by counterfeit (Gen
3:3-5, Rom 10:3). To try and be one’s own God is to try and be God (Deut 5:7,
Mat 7:12). To claim personal sovereignty as God in one’s own life is to try and be
God (Deut 5:7, Mat 7:12). To try and be Lord of one’s own life is to try to be Lord
of all (Deut 5:7, Mat 7:12).

God is his own God (John 20:17) and this is reflected in the two great
commandments as they are in the Christian life the antithesis of trying to be God
(Mat 22:37-40, Mark 12:29-31, John 20:17). God has to be His own God in the
Three-in-One community of the Trinity, otherwise God would not be God (Deut
10:17, 1 Tim 6:15, Rev 17:14).

One counterfeit strategy that applies is the desire to establish a moral code, as God
is moral, and to try and be consistent to it (Mat 7:12, Rom 2:14). The created
beings will construct a moral code different to God’s, as it is theirs and not God’s,
but with some counterfeit as they are still trying to be God and they know what this
entails (Mat 7:12, Rom 2:14). Not being God however whatever this code this
they will break it (Rom 2:14-15, 3:10). If the created beings could establish a
moral code, of whatever kind and be consistent in it both themselves and in their
dealings with others, then they would be a God (Gen 3:5, Mat 7:12, Gal 3:21) and
