Why is it important to distinguish between Adam and Eve? Why not talk about human No. 1 and human No.2? Why not just talk about "the male" and "the female"? Why not just talk about the first-created and the second-created?
There must be a reason why God wanted us to know Adam and Eve by name. One obvious reason is that Adam means man. His name identifies Adam as man, and the other reason is that Adam is also a symbol for all of humankind. He is the prototype of a human being, and he is every human being's ancestor. In the end, we're all related because we can all be traced back to him. We have the same ancestor. After all, we're one big family - no matter what our skin colour is and were we grew up.
Of course, you will only believe that if you believe that Adam was truly created by God - the Trinitarian God - as the first human of his kind. Eve was the second human and she was of Adam's kind. She was made from his rib and made by God.
I like that fact that Adam was made from dirt. It is clear that he wasn't angelic. He was just "dirt" come alive. Even his name alludes to that. Some people like to think that they are actually little gods who - for some odd reason - were made to live in human bodies but that they will one day be set free to be what they really are: gods.
Some people like to believe that they were created with a godly spark and that that spark will eventually transform them into gods.
If you are made of dirt, nothing will transform you into a god. If you are made from dirt, you know that you are not an angel and that you will never be one. You will know what you are and you will accept your "human kind". You will not endeaver to become a "god kind".
I also like the fact that God made Eve from Adam's rib because this shows that the two belong together. That's significant. In our day and time, men and women often find it difficult to belong together. They drift apart and they often don't know how to generate that sense of belonging - of belonging together. It really helps to know that we do belong together. If you can get your mind around that concept and make it part of your frame of mind, your emotions will follow eventually.
If we are meant to be nothing but "human kind", why are so many people trying to become "gods"? Why do they want to be a different kind than the one that God designed for them? That's a valid question, don't you think? Why do people want to be enlightened or transformed? Why do they want to see into the future and into mystical realms beyond? What's the thrill if we are made as humans with certain limitations and that's what we are supposed to be?
I believe that's it's a misunderstanding of what your calling as a human actually is. If you know that God is your Father in Heaven and that he deeply cares about you from the day you were conceived until you were born right unto this very day and for all eternity, you will ask very different questions about yourself.
You will ask God why you were made and what for. You will ask God to give you His sense of direction. You will ask God what you are supposed to do while you walk this earth. You will want to discover your place in God's universe - right here on planet earth.
You will not try to look behind the "looking glas". You will not try to transcend into other spaces, realms and places that bring you to delirious, dark and mystical spheres. You will not dare to trespass against God's decrees, knowing that God has warned you not to dabble with dark forces and not to call on the darkness. You will not do it because you will not desire to know things that God doesn't want you to know.
You will not follow preachers and teachers who lead you into a sensual faith - one that thrives on emotions, electrical spells and all kinds of physical manifestations. You will not follow teachers and preachers who teach you that God wants to make you rich. The only "god" who wants to make you rich is the "god" of this world, and his name is Satan. He is Mammon. You will know, and you will understand that the God of the Bible is not identical with Satan.
You will learn to trust God and walk with Him whether you know where you are heading or not. You will not get involved in magic or in the occult. You will love your God and honour Him and wait for Christ's return. You will not seek signs and wonders. You will not covet healing powers and prophetic wisdom. You will exclaim: "Your grace, my God, is sufficient for me!"
You will call your Creator God, "my Father in Heaven" and you will yearn to be like Jesus and you will want to learn from Christ and follow in the ways of the apostles.
Did you know that the Bible says a lot about "gods"? When they are mentioned, it's pretty clear what they are: They are fallen angels. They are demons. Now, why do so many people want to become "gods"? Scary, right? It seems they don't know what "gods" are. They think that there can be many gods beside the Holy God of the Bible. They are mistaken. God clearly says that there is only one God - and that's the Triune God. All the other "gods" are fallen angels.
So - if you want to be transformed you want to become a fallen angel. You want to become a demon. Why do you want to go to hell? Why do you want to reach a point where you cannot turn toward the light and receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour?
Think again and learn what the Bible says about "gods", "fallen angels", "fallen stars", and about Lucifer, Satan and Leviathan. You will be surprised - and you may realise that you have met some "gods" that visited you because you messed with dark forces, thinking you are in control.
Please, dear reader, learn from the Bible and be warned. There is only one God and he doesn't want to see you be transformed into a demon. He wants to save you as a human and get you to heaven as a human through Jesus Christ who died on the cross to pay your sin just as much as mine and make sure that you and me can go to Heaven.
Demons will not see the Salvation of the Lord. Demons will never be saved. Don't become a demon.
Stay a human! Seek God, find Him, get saved and walk with God on earth; and when you die, be certain: God will wake you up and invite you into His Heavenly Realms where you will dwell for all eternity - as a saved human being.
That's good news, don't you think?
The Bible clearly says that we are a new Adam, a new creation, when we are saved in Christ. But we're still Adam, you see?! We're all Adam. All Eves are, too! We are all still human beings! That's the good news about this: We are a new creation in Christ as human beings.
Yes - the old Adam lingers around until we die our human death but then he will be gone for ever. But our new Adam, our new human kind will live for ever with Christ for all eternity. That's mysterious enough for me. It's thrilling and exciting.
I pray that you will believe that what the God of the Bible says about you and me is actually true and that you will get to know God yourself and be saved.
Don't be transformed! Be saved! Don't become a fallen angelic-like creature that cannot be saved anymore. Turn away from these teachings - even if they sound so very "Christian". They are false and dangerous.
May God lead you into His truth. - May He save you!
- Much love in Christ, Mercy Minder
