Well now, how about the rest of the story - Most all of us could recall of walking into a movie after it’s been running for more than a ½ hour – right?

Well, I’m suggesting that when we begin our theology (teachings about God) with the story of Adam and Eve – we have just walked into a movie of history - within our vast universe - after it’s been running for more than a ½ hour.

But if you were to begin with the rebellion that began in Heaven with Lucifer (the beginning of the movie) you can’t help but come away with a different prospective.

In fact, when beginning with Adam and Eve one could even missed the whole plot.
But don’t feel bad, because that’s the way God planed it – which links with what Jesus couldn’t tell us long ago.

And if I understand it right - it’s all about securing the universe against evil for eternity. To forever safe guard us against what happened to Adam and Eve.

Because we all know that Adam and Eve were duped or deceived by the words coming from a serpent.
So since God gave us free will choice shouldn’t it be one of His greatest concerns that we would become dupe proofed – so we could never be deceived as Adam and Eve were?

To me the purpose for this world is - God allowing Satan’s ways to be played out – so that we – God’s children will forever close the door on evil.

So now let’s talk about what happened in the Heavenly control center. Of course, most of us Christians know that God had a rebellion problem within the Heavenly Control Center.

It’s as if a political controversy exploded in Heaven when Lucifer (God’s leading angel) campaigned to become the leader of this vast universe.

And within his political campaign throughout the universe - Lucifer began his accusations against God’s character. Saying that God’s ways were too hard – that he had a better way of government.

Now I ask you, if you had a large family where your over 18 year old rebelled against your ways of family government – what would you do – how would you handle it?

Would you attempt to slap them around a bit and tell them to knock it off?

We all know about how far that would get us.

Well, we must understand that God is a genius – after all He is God – He knows what He is doing to forever solve the problem.

So what better way of solving the problem than to give the rebellious one a world of his own - allowing his ways to run their course.

And so it was – The Bible story describes Lucifer, God’s leading angel - now known as Satan - being cast out of Heaven – down to this earth.

Of course, the rebellious one now trying to prove his way as best – became very crafty in his ways to make the Father out to be vengeful, unforgiving, and severe.

So if we were to examine the legal plan of salvation that is taught within most churches - where might we find hints that God the Father could be portrayed as vengeful, unforgiving, and severe?

What you will find in the legal view is that Jesus accomplishes what man can’t seem to do in pleasing the demands of the Father – therefore indicating that the Father’s ways must be too hard.

Of course, this falls in line with God allowing Satan to create the diversion, of what we call - the legal view. I know this could be a hard pill for many to swallow - but how else is God going to secure the universe for eternity against being deceived again - like Adam and Eve were?

Simply realize that God’s method of teaching is putting all of us through an experience of thinking they could trust something other than His character.

You see with all the different versions of the Bible and the interpretations to go along with them – has created more than a thousand different religions around the world.

Which has caused mass confusion within spiritual things with each one claming to have the special key or legal solution to Heaven.

Isn’t it about time that we Christians figure out what the real gospel of Christ is? If we could get that straightened out among us and take it to the world, Matt. 24:14 says the end will come.

And if we could begin watching the movie as it began in Heaven with Lucifer’s rebellion - we might find that we are not in legal trouble with God – but instead we might find that God is pleading with us to see His ways as right.

We only need to develop a teachable spirit - which could be a learning environment in gaining trust in God.

The big deal is simply trusting that God’s ways are best and that we would want His ways to become our ways – to the point that His way of government has become a part of us. You see that’s not a legal stance, instead, it’s a political stance – As in Act 16:31 – Trust in God’s ways and you will be saved.
Legal trouble is not the issue – that’s only Satan’s diversion to cause confusion.

No, God is allowing us to witness or experience enough evil that we will want to run from it – He’s giving us the time to see His ways as right.

But within the legal view – It’s like a lot of lawyer’s arguing over varied legal requirements – causing many off the wall beliefs.

In fact most all religions have the God we talk about as some kind of satanic monster that will burn us in Hell if we chose not to love Him - and or if we don’t buy into their special way of being saved.

But again, this is all within God’s plan of exposing deception.

Now before I close this video I have more outrageous information about why we are here. –
But first may I make it very clear that yes, I believe Jesus absolutely did come and He did die for us – my only issue is over why He died for us. Which is detailed within my books.

So with that being said - listen up - I’m about to give you the meat and potatoes of this message. Which is that - God the Father love’s us just like Jesus does.

Remember that Jesus said in John 14:9 that if anyone has seen Him they have seen the Father.

And one more – it just gets better. - In John 16:26 Jesus said that He didn’t have to plead the Father for us – because the Father loves us the same as He does.

Yes, and it even gets better. Remember the prodigal son story in Luke 15?

Would you believe that it was God the Father that ran out to meet the lost son in his filthy rags?
Yes, and there’s even more!

How about right from the month of Jesus a different reason for His coming than we are use to hearing?
The picture is very clear in John 17 as Jesus is talking to His Father saying that He had completed the work He was given to do – that of revealing the character of the Father to us.

But you see the diversion message (the legal view) has the work of Jesus satisfying heavy - impossible demands of God the Father for us – even the death that we somehow deserve.

Doesn’t this suggest that there is more to it – shouldn’t we be searching for more light or more oil for our lamps?

Of course, again, Jesus did die for us – but for a different reason than the diversion message teaches. Which my books also cover in much detail.

I can’t stop this video without giving you one of the strongest platforms that I stand on – and it’s found in John 5:39 – Jesus is talking to the ones that are about to nail Him to the cross. It’s like He is scolding them about for searching the Scriptures for the wrong things. It’s like they thought they were going to find eternal life in what is written in a Book.

He said that the Scriptures point to Him – but they refuse to come to Him to receive life.

The point being, is that words in a book can take on different meanings and can also be changed and added to by the many well meaning folk that have translated the Bible.

So what John 5:39 says to me - is we should always put the character of God up as a filter for what we think the Bible says. Because the one thing we can count on is what the character of God is like that was displayed in the life of Jesus.

Well, I don’t want to put you on overload - besides - I don’t want to rob you of your journey through my books or CD’s - except to tell you a story from Matt.13:44 of the person that was searching for a fine pearl.

And when he found it he went to sell everything he had in order to buy it.

Now I’m not saying my writings are the pearl of great value, but I am saying that they do describe what the pearl of great value is – so how about it –

What if there is something of far greater value, greater good news, and it’s been right before our eyes but we simply never noticed it before? Well, hopefully your spiritual appetite has been awakened – and by the way the CD’s are a great way to get the whole picture of the Great Controversy View while driving or what ever -

The next video is sure to be of interest to many – it’s on the assurance of being saved – regardless of what Faith you are following.

So keep in mind – It really is Time To Think!

Until next time – may you all be found searching for hidden treasure.
