Alpha and Omega, creation is not, and unlike God, each created living thing
has a limited amount of DNA letters.
narrowed to by DNA race, then narrowed to your individual DNA family, and
finally to the DNA name of the individual. 5th - Creation exists as parts, such
as words, or sentences in the DNA language of life. Each word, or sentence, is
incomplete and not the entire Alphabet in itself because each piece of creation
is limited in its number of letters.
When the incomplete language letters of life in a species such as humans
have free will or choice, then making a choice contrary to the Alpha & Omegas
will or purpose, it can create problems, especially since each creature also has
limitations to their knowledge.
called evil and sin because without knowing the whole picture a limited being
can do harmful things even unintentionally. Satan, a being of light, suggested
to Adam and Eve that the perfect will of God was wrong (Gen 3:1-5). Ironically,
in the temptation that Satan offered, to know both good and evil, Adam and
Eve had already known Good, which is God, for they had walked with God in
the garden. It was only evil that was foreign to them.
Remember, limited knowledge combined with freewill is a dangerous
thing, since there is always a potential for evil, for picking wrong and
harmful choices (Rom 5:12). However, because God is all knowing, the Triune
God through Christ prepared for salvation even before the fall (John 1:1-5). It
was Jesus who took on a limited human frame to walk and talk with
humankind throughout Scripture (Col 1:15-17). It is the Triune God that had
made man (Gen 1:26). It is in the person of Christ, that God continues to hold
the fallen and damaged universe together (Col 1:17, Phil 2:6-8).
This is why salvation is only possible because Christ is both fully God
and fully man, containing the complete DNA language of God and the limited
language of man, as well as the mtDNA of humankind through Mary, which
carries inherited sin and programmed death. This aspect will be discussed
more thoroughly in the next slide.
6th - Apart from a relationship with God through Christ, salvation would not
be possible. However, like mtDNA in our body, we cant live with mtDNA forever
because of the aspect of the programmed death, as well as disease. Yet, we
cant live without it because it is our bodys energy source. Sadly, individuals
who have a Mitochondrial disorder can attest to the now present need for
mtDNA. We cant live eternally because of our mtDNA, and we cant live without
it because without it we will die. We are reminded in our fleshly bodies that
make choices often based on survival of the fittest rather than out of love and
mercy, and in this tangled web of selfishness we know that Everyone who
commits sin is the slave of sin. yet, we are also told that if the Son sets you
free, you will be free indeed John 8:34-36. Therefore, we need help, we need a
Savior. Apart from the gift of salvation provided by Christ Jesus on the cross,
and the acceptance of this gift by submitting to the work of the Holy
Spirit in our choices, we will not only die physically, but also eternally.
SYMBIOTIC SIN
The next concept I will address may be either an analogy or actuality, but
because I am neither a scientist, nor a prophet it will be up to the individual to
make that determination on their own. However, personally I understand sin
and the fall through the lens of the Bible and considering scientific knowledge.
First of all, all Humans have both DNA and mtDNA. Your primary DNA is your
unique name written in letters within the nucleus of your cells. The primary
DNA is located at the center of each cell in your body, whereas the MtDNA is a
kidney bean shaped organ floating in the plasma outside the nucleus of the
cell. MtDNA is inherited from the mother alone, however, primary DNA is
inherited 50/50 from each parent.
Before I go any further with this concept, I would like to direct your
thoughts to an actual common core between a creationists and an
evolutionists explanation of how humankind became to be as it is currently in
our world. To accomplish this feat I must turn to Lynn Margulis, the ex-wife of
through walls and ascend into the clouds. Now let us consider Adam and Eve
once again before the fall. I believe that God had forbidden Adam & Eve to
ingest the fruit, not only as a test for to make them aware of their actual love
and trust of God, but also as a protective warning because the forbidden fruit
also contained the bacterial life we now call mtDNA. However, Adam and Eve
failed the test, and once the mtDNA laden fruit was ingested an interdependent
relationship known as symbiosis would begin within their bodies. The mtDNA
would become so intermeshed within the individual that killing the mtDNA
would also kill the person.
Christ, as I had mentioned earlier regarding His work in creation, had
walked on the earth and talked with Adam and Eve. However after the fall,
Adam and Eve would become both naked and afraid because they now were
fully exposed and vulnerable to suffering due to the sin within. The promise
and temptation of Satan had been that they would know both Good and evil if
they ingested the fruit. Sadly, they had already known good, they had
walked and talked with God, what they gained, if you can call it that, was
evil. Similar in some ways to the tower of Babble where language was
confused, the DNA language inside Adam and Eve was altered when the new
mtDNA was introduced. This physical alteration would cause discord within,
strife with each other, and a separation from God.
Physically their changed bodies would now also become vulnerable to pain,
disease and death. Although humankind was in creation since the sixth day of
creation, it was at this point that humankind, with its new physicality would
finally leave behind a footprint in the earthly creation. What I mean by this
statement is that unlike before, humankind now physically left a footprint
because it now had a new animal-like physicality. The new physicality could
no longer fly above the trees, walk through solid objects, but would instead feel
the pain that this new naked skin would bring.
This might also help to explain why there was such a great explosion of
knowledge that took place in creation, which probably came after the fall when
humankind, who was created in the image of God, suddenly was grounded in
the harsh physical world outside Eden. This burst of knowledge is difficult to
explain even with the thousands of years needed for the concept of evolution.
The evolutionist also has the problem of the holes, and gaps between species
that cannot account for.
However, getting back to humankind, after the fall the mtDNA letters in
humankind would be a burden, and the new physicality would require clothing,
food and shelter. Although humankind was intelligent, it would take time to
adapt to the new physical world that required so much knowledge for basic
mtDNA from His mother at his conception. Jesus would carry the
complete Alpha and Omega language of life from His Father, as well as the
mtDNA language of death from his human mother Mary. Remember that
from the ingestion of the forbidden fruit at the fall, the mtDNA would begin to
make constant demands on humankind for shelter, avoidance of pain and for
survival, and doesnt this echo the consequence of sin worded by God in Gen
3:16-19?
You might ask why I connect the mtDNA to the sinful nature of man?
MtDNA, like sin, permeates the body, so that we cannot rid ourselves of it, and
to attempt to do so would mean death of the body. The problem is that
humankind, unlike God, does not have the eternal life within. What happened
to humankind at the fall when the mtDNA laden fruit was ingested, was a
symbiotic merger within both Adam and Eve. It is from that point in history
that the human body would become, not like God, the lie of Satan, but like the
rest of creation and be dependent on the ingested mtDNA for its energy source,
instead of God.
To help you better understand this crucial point, it is important to know
that mtDNA is the locale in each cell of the body where ATP is generated, and
ATP is the biochemical energy source for the body. In order for the mtDNA to
10
make ATP (energy) for the body it makes demands on the body for oxygen and
food. So, after the fall the human body would require mtDNA to survive, for
without it, and without God as an energy source, human body would die.
Because mtDNA is so important to the body mtDNA disfunction plays a key
role in a wide range of diseases such as cancer, and age related disorders.
Some scientists have even suggested that mtDNA is responsible for the
programmed death of the cells in the body.
Because of our inability to rid ourselves of this symbiotic relationship we
would need a Savior who is both God and man. To rid the body of mtDNA, a
human body would need to die, yet to regain life, the body would also need life
within itself, or in other words, to be God. This is why we need Jesus, who is a
dualnatured Savior.
He would also be able to rise from death as God, and in that manner sin could
be destroyed in humankind forever.
