God is perfect. His structural plan for creation is perfect. Every act between God and man is perfect. GOD HAS NOT….AND WILL NOT…MAKE A SINGLE MISTAKE!!!! As I continue to discuss God’s perfect actions, I will not always give you chapter and verse used. My blog is basically aimed at ’meat’ eaters whom I know have a fair amount of Bible knowledge. Scripture tells us to ‘search’ to see whether or not things heard are true. So…easiest way to search is to go to the concordance of your Bible. So….’look it up’ 
.
When God created man, the act was not complete or ‘fulfilled until He made Eve. Adam is one. Eve is one. The two..male and female..are one unit, one flesh….man. One + One =One. Hang on…the discussion heats up! When God placed man in Eden, walking in perfect fellowship with the Father was only the first part of Eden’s purpose. Eden was where man would complete the metamorphosis into the image of God. To start with, Adam and Eve walked in perfect spiritual fellowship with God…and knew only GOOD…and had NO SIN. Wow! What an experience!! Next, Eve encounters the deceiver and believes him. And as God had said, spiritual (not physical) DEATH was the immediate result. Just after the whole deal…God said, “Behold, NOW MAN IS BECOME AS WE, (in our image)knowing both good and evil.” Remember that God’s structural plan was to ‘make man in our image.” Now..the plan is fulfilled, complete…finished. Stop and consider what Eden was. Eden was the dwelling place of God. The deceiver could only have entered by permission. He could only have influenced the completely trusting Eve…by permission. Remember Job? NOTHING EVER HAPPENS WITHOUT GOD’S PERMISSION. HE’S BOSS!!!! God tell us, ‘it’s appointed unto man once to die.” Look in your concordance at all the ‘appointed’ verses. You see the application means ‘purposed’ by God. So0000, One..fellowship with God, one..fellowship with evil= one perfect making of man in the image of God. One + One =in our image. But it gets BETTER !!!! God sent the Ten Commandments (Law) in order for the Law to prove that man, in general, remained in DEATH…in bondage to the law of the flesh…earthy….miry clay. He never intended the Ten Commandments to be the whole Law. Ya…you know what happens next! God, in the person of the Son, comes to earth, in flesh and completes (fulfills) the Law. He gave his perfect soul to the Second death (became as evil… as miry clay)…on our behalf…to redeem us from total DEATH…both the spiritual DEATH at Eden…and the Second Death of eternal destruction in Hell. That’s why He said, ‘not one jot or tittle’ of the Ten Commandments would be lost or changed. He said, ‘I come not to destroy the Law, but that the Law might be fulfilled (completed..finished).’ Ya…you’re getting it!!! Awesome…huh? To continue, He went back to the Father and sent to us a presence equal both to Jesus and the Father….the Holy Comforter. The Holy Comforter would dwell literally within our spirit man…inside the earthy body and we then would become..the Temple of God . The HC would work between us and Jesus. Jesus would work between the Holy Comforter and the Father. But, also, since the three are One, we can come ‘boldly’ before the throne of God! The outcome of the divine fellowship is ‘return to Eden’…in this present world…by way of the Kingdom of God. You know…the one Christ preached….the Gospel of the Kingdom. We just call it the ‘gospel.’ Now, as a result of the perfect fellowship restored, we can be ’perfect as He is perfect.’ We will now be the eternal offspring of God….children….heirs to the Kingdom of God…moved from death to life.’ ‘It’s not His will that any perish…but that all repent.’ By the total events in the Garden of Eden, by ‘knowing’ both good and evil……we are given the immense power of CHOICE….FREE WILL. Now we ‘are without excuse.’ Now we are fully equipped to regain Eden…Life in God. Or we remain in eternal DEATH. NO OTHER OPTIONS EXIST!!!!
As we live our lives in this earthy DEATH existence, we move from death to life in only one way…..through Jesus and His redemptive act of giving his soul to ultimate death…SECOND DEATH…in our place. In Him we can live, breathe, and have our being. Apart from Him…we are nothing. He said, ‘it’s appointed unto man ONCE to die, then the judgement.’ Now, the horrible and eternal Second Death happens only to those who CHOOSE condemnation! Those who would choose earthly over the Heavenly, evil over Good, and Satan over the loving Father……will deserve the eternal consequences. SIMPLE! ONE + ONE = GOD’S PERFECT PLAN!
