The Seed of Christmas: Is Heterosexuality Under Attack? Looks Like It.

Hello, Everyone.

Last week, I was thinking about the world we live in, current events, and events of the past that are mentioned in the Bible. Then, this thought came to mind, "I think Satan developed hatred for heterosexuality when the event of Genesis 3:15 occurred". Genesis 3:15 (KJV) states, " And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." The seed being spoken of here is Jesus Christ, also known as Jesus the Christ and Christ Jesus. For more details about Genesis 3:15, see the commentary at the end of this post.

 God punished Satan for what he caused in the Garden of Eden, by placing a curse upon him which included a promised encounter with Jesus Christ. When that promised encounter occurred Jesus Christ defeated Satan's plans by rescuing our souls out of his hands, via what He did for humanity at the Cross. By his death, and resurrection He gave a fatal blow to the devil's kingdom and his plans for humanity.

The story of Jesus Christ's birth is very familiar to us; it is the Christmas story. It is also, a story of geneology --- of seed(s). It all began with the seeds of Eve (of the Garden of Eden), the babies she gave birth to from the seeds (semen) of Adam. The geneological story continued with the seeds of all the other women that gave birth to babies from the seed(s) of the males they encountered. Basically, the seed of the women is produced by the seed of the man, which is a result of heterosexual interaction. All the births that led up to the birth of Mary, the biological mother of Jesus Christ, were apart of the promised seed arriving. Of course, Mary being a virgin, conceived Jesus Christ by a divine seed rather than by the seed of a man. Jesus Christ was and is the Seed, and today, babies are still 'seeds'.

If it had not been for all the seeds of women produced by seeds of men, the results of heterosexual interaction, Mary wouldn't have been born, and therefore, she wouldn't have been around to give birth to Jesus Christ. If Jesus Christ, the Seed, hadn't been born Satan's kingdom wouldn't have received the fatal blow that Jesus Christ manifested. As a consequence, Satan's destructive, evil plans for humanity would have succeeded and ALL souls would be eternally lost to hell. In a nutshell, so to speak, heterosexuality produced Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ defeated Satan's plans for ALL humans' souls to end up in hell with him, taking ALL of our Creator's beloved humans with him.

Since, the event at the Cross, it seems Satan has been striking at seeds (babies which could grow up to be people that live for Jesus Christ rather than Satan and do his kingdom even more damage) by trying to prevent them from occurring and manifesting; by trying to prevent them from being born. Satan is trying to prevent more seeds through two major ways:

• by preventing heterosexuality via heterosexual attraction and interactions in relationships God has defined as a blessing
• by abortions of babies at all stages of growth in the womb and partially out of the womb

It looks like Satan hates seeds because of what the Seed, did to his plans for humanity and therefore, he's been going after heterosexuality and the resulting seeds, babies. We all know that the only sexual interaction that produces babies, is a heterosexual one.

Our Creator designed heterosexuality to be a blessing. Heterosexuality is part of the 3 John 1:2 blessing regarding Spiritual Affluence, Physical Affluence and Financial Affluence. Our Creator's blessings are a package of gifts. When all the pieces of the package are not accepted the entire blessing is not received and enjoyed, as He designed them to be. Since He created us, and we had no part in the creation of the human being, He knows what is best for us the way the manufacturer of a brand of automobile knows what is best, in every way, for the automobile they created.

To receive and enjoy the full blessings package of gifts our Creator has established for us, we have to not believe the lies that Satan whispers and yells to us about heterosexuality because all he wants to do is harm us, destroy us and prevent more of us from being born.

Christmas is the story of the birth of the Seed and what He did for humanity at the Cross. Everyone that will accept Him as Saviour and Lord, living as our Creator has defined and prescribed, will gain access to the full blessings package of gifts.  Doing otherwise only gives us a portion of the package and therefore, far less than the best our Creator has established.

Commentary: The serpent cursed, The promised Seed.

"God passes sentence; and he begins where the sin began, with the serpent. The devil's instruments must share in the devil's punishments. Under the cover of the serpent, the devil is sentenced to be degraded and accursed of God; detested and abhorred of all mankind: also to be destroyed and ruined at last by the great Redeemer, signified by the breaking of his head. War is proclaimed between the Seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent. It is the fruit of this enmity, that there


is a continual warfare between grace and corruption, in the hearts of God's people. Satan, by their corruptions, buffets them, sifts them, and seeks to devour them. Heaven and hell can never be reconciled, nor light and darkness; no more can Satan and a sanctified soul. Also, there is a continual struggle between the wicked and the godly in this world. A gracious promise is here made of Christ, as the Deliverer of fallen man from the power of Satan. Here was the drawn of the gospel day: no

sooner was the wound given, than the remedy was provided and revealed. This gracious revelation of a Saviour came unasked, and unlooked for. Without a revelation of mercy, giving some hope of forgiveness, the convinced sinner would sink into despair, and be hardened. By faith in this promise, our first parents, and the patriarchs before the flood, were justified and saved. Notice is given concerning Christ. 1. His incarnation, or coming in the flesh. It speaks great encouragement to sinners,

that their Saviour is the Seed of the woman, bone of our bone, Heb 2:11, 14. 2. His sufferings and death; pointed at in Satan's bruising his heel, that is, his human nature. And Christ's sufferings are continued in the sufferings of the saints for his name. The devil tempts them, persecutes and slays them; and so bruises the heel of Christ, who is afflicted in their afflictions. But while the heel is bruised on


earth, the Head is in heaven. 3. His victory over Satan thereby. Christ baffled Satan's temptations, rescued souls out of his hands. By his death he gave a fatal blow to the devil's kingdom, a wound to the head of this serpent that cannot be healed. As the gospel gains ground, Satan falls. (Ge 3:16-19)"

From Eden to Today, God's Desire is Heaven's Best

Image courtesy of Wikipedia

Everything Jesus ever said or did, from Creation to His death on the cross, was done for suffering humanity. From the time Adam entered the Garden known as Eden to today, Creator God's desire for humanity is to give us heaven's best.

St. Matthew's Church

Hello, Everyone, that quote is based on the Scripture of III John 1:2 (KJV) which states, "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."  In other words III John 1:2 is stating, "Beloved, it is My desire, above all things, that you prosper, and be healthy as your soul prospers.  One more way to say this is, "Beloved, it is My desire that you become financially affluent (prosper) and physically affluent (healthy) as you become Spiritually affluent (soul prospers)."  This means our Creator, God, desires for us to experience the best/His best financially, physically (which includes mentally) as our soul prospers.  Therefore, we discern that as our soul prospers we can flourish in prosperity (wealth of finances and riches) and health, simultaneously.  That makes sense!

When humans' souls are prospering as God desires, it is reflected in our actions.  There are certain things we are doing, and certain things we are not doing.  For example:

• We are supporting or aiding others to prosper and flourish financially, physically and Spiritually with our time, words, actions, resources and finances, that are supporting or aiding others in activities and services that the Creator approves of.  We do not support, nor aid to prosper and flourish, that which the Creator has deemed un-wise, un-healthy and detrimental to the mind, body, prosperity and soul of self or others.  Afterall, He created us so it stands up to reasoning that He knows what is best for all, in all circumstances at all times.  "Father God knows best".
• We are speaking to ourselves and others with wisdom and insights from our Creator, God, about what to say, when to say it and how to phrase it.  We tell the truth, with our Creator's guidance.  We do not lie.
• We treat and take care of the earth, its water, air and other resources according to His details/specifications.  Afterall, He established it all for our well-being and the Creator knows His Creation better than anyone else.
• We are thinking about ourselves the way He (our Creator) instructs us to, and of others, also.
• We are treating other humans and ourselves the way He (our Creator), wants us to.  We are taking good care of ourselves (physically, mentally, and Spiritually), and not harming, violating, nor exploiting others.  Harming, violating or exploiting others causes our souls to not prosper and therefore, our health and prosperity suffer.  Sure those that increase in dollars/currency from harming others have a financial prosperity for a season; it's fleeting and accompanied by a lot of trouble, and evil.  The lifestyle is one of secrecy, treachery and unrest, and by the Creator's rules "those that dig pits for others fall into that pit, themselves".   Also, everyone reaps whatever he or she sows.  There is no escaping that cycle of events.  Now, I'm about to be very specific in the next, several lines here, because many of my readers to come don't know, yet.  So, in plain terms this means:
  
  
  • no stealing, 
  • no selling of fake-organics, nor of other destructives
  • no designing genetically-modified organisms for food for humans and animals,
  • no animal abuse (pets, farm or wild)
  • no bestiality,
  • no spouse abuse,
  • no child abuse,
  • no human-trafficking,
  • no rape,
  • no incest,
  • no pedophelia,
  • no pornography,
  • no drug abuse,
  • no alcohol abuse,
  • no substance abuse,
  • no selling of drugs, alcohol and other substances to others to abuse,
  • no mutilations,
  • no murder (not even self-murder a.k.a suicide),
  • no Sharia Law,
  • no adultery, no bigamy, no fornication and all the other things Creator God says will destroy us if we participate in them.  
  
  Just reviewing the reports and results of all the instances that there are records and knowledge of  about such 'no' occurrences in the past, we discern the mayhem, pain, suffering, depression, chaos, disease, and other destruction they cause, initiate, facilitate and manifest.  Consequently, it is easy to understand why our Creator, God, has said, "no" to these actions and behaviors.
  
  However, the good news (very good) is that not doing the behaviors and actions He defines as harmful and actually doing the behaviors and actions he defines as good, right, and blessed is designed by Him to cause us to prosper/flourish in our souls and therefore, in our health and prosperity (wealth of finances and riches)!  Sounds like He's established a wonderful plan for a very good lifestyle, here on earth for humanity.  All we have to do is work with Him and His plan, not against!

When I mentioned not harming others, you may have thought of events such as battles and wars, and of times when others are harmed because we must defend ourselves against what harmful action one is, or some are, attempting to do to us.  Creator God has approved of battles at times (as we read/see in His Bible) and He does allow us to defend ourselves, and others, and aids us in doing so when someone is attempting to harm us because they desire to.  Yet, His original plan for humanity was the lifestyle of Eden: ever-blissful wealth, ever-blissful health and ever-blissful peace, at  all times.  All of humanity would already have that Eden lifestyle, if Eve and Adam had not made the bad choices that they did, listening to the ultimate 'Decepticon' (borrowing that term for 'a deceiver' from the movie, 'Transformers').

Fortunately for humanity, via what Christ Jesus, a.k.a Jesus Christ, did for us we can experience III John 1:2 here on earth, if we 'do and be' as He instructs us to and don't make the bad, un-wise choices like Adam and Eve, did.  Creator God still loves humanity and it is still His desire for us to have heaven's best here on earth.  Just check out the scripture, Matthew 6:10 KJV of the Lord's Prayer,

"Thy kingdom come.  Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."

and reflect on what it means to have Creator God's will (desire) to be done on earth, for us, as it is in heaven.  Have you read from His Bible what His heaven is, yet?  If you haven't go do so, today.  You will be amazed at how fabulous it is!  Will there be reason to cry tears of pain or sorrow, there?   Find out.  Will there be shanty towns there?  Find out; read and see.  Will there be poverty and lack there?  Will there be cause for poor health there?  Will there be soul-depravity there?  After you've found out for yourself, you'll understand the significance of the Lord's Prayer.

The choice is ours to make.  The right decisions are ours to make.  Our Creator has already established His best for humanity.  And the most wonderful thing is no one else has to lose or be harmed for another to gain.  Many are already partaking of God's III John 1:2 blessing enjoying affluent lifestyles with no sorrow added (from doing 'no's).  They, either, stopped doing the 'no's and chose God's way or they never started doing the 'no's and chose God's way.  They are affluent in three ways: Spiritually affluent, financially affluent and physically affluent.

As I've mentioned, Creator God has already approved of all of us having all three 'affluences'; He's informed us of this in so many sections of His Bible!  I've chosen His way to be Spiritually affluent, financially affluent and physically affluent.  What about you?  I hope you have, or do!  The whole earth will be like Eden if we choose ... ...

Take care!

His Work, His Way, Receives His Supply
