What a person William Wallace was….. How is that execution more horrible than was common? It was extremely common. It was the bog-standard for treason. Lots of people died this way. Perhaps the same spirit of rebellion can serve in politics of today. Brexit for example.

Or the independence of Alberta and Saskatchewan from Eastern Canada. The concept of Confederation is a lie, slavery of the West to a centralized Eastern government. William Wallace had the spirit, character and backbone to fight for Scotish Independence. The same lives on today. Alberta Strong! Lizzie Borden.

I think Wallace sounds like an amazing freedom fighter and Edward sounds like a huge pompous royal ars Reply. Yet science is limited in a vitally important way that involves you. There is a discovery it will never—and can never—make about the nature of the human mind! Your mind contains a dimension that cannot be understood or discovered by any process or experiment known to science.

Their theologians neither teach nor comprehend it. They have completely overlooked this critical component—this single great key —that unlocks the enormous difference between men and animals. Only by understanding this revealed key can you learn your purpose for being! Look at all of the amazing works of nature—both on Earth and throughout the heavens.

Consider the planets, stars and galaxies. Each is its own marvel. Then reflect on all of the species of plants found on Earth. There are millions, diverse in color, shape, size, function and beauty. The brilliance of their various designs and purposes is incredible! Now think of the millions of different kinds of animals and insects. They are as marvelous and fascinating as the world of plants, with their diversity of purpose, appearance and behavior.

But none of these creations rival the complexity and nearly unlimited capability of your mind. And as fascinating, marvelous, beautiful and amazing as are all the things described above, none is more amazing than the human mind. It is the absolute pinnacle of all living organisms.

What else can plan, think or create to even a fraction of the same degree? Just think about how many things the human mind can design and produce: Houses, telephones, trains, automobiles, planes, rockets, computers, fax machines and other sophisticated devices that are practically limitless in complexity and usefulness.

The only thing it cannot design and build is itself! The Creator of your mind sent with it detailed, vital information, explaining the nature, design and purpose of this greatest of all creations.

He identifies the hidden key—the missing dimension! But this information is almost universally ignored, misrepresented, misunderstood and rejected! As a result, the problems, troubles and evils of civilization mount with no solution in sight and conditions only growing worse.

Would God create His marvel of engineering—your mind—and send it without an Instruction Book explaining how to use it? Of course not! Yet this great Book remains a mystery to so many—with few even professing to understand it. Most spend their entire lives worried about what people think and say. Few concern themselves with what GOD thinks or says. Be honest and examine yourself.

Do you derive your opinions from people? Or do you regularly search and accept the plain Word of God as the guide for your life? The following scripture explains why even the most brilliant minds are completely unable to learn certain understanding, unless it is revealed to them.

The great thinkers of this world cannot fathom the things God has revealed in His Word! It will open your thinking to incredible new understanding about why you were born—and of your awesome future and potential. However, we must start at the beginning.

Many suppose that the composition of the human mind is entirely physical. Is this true? Others believe that each person possesses an immortal soul. What does the Bible say? Does it endorse either of these ideas? First, we must consider the difference between human minds and animal brains.

There are facts that science tells us about the comparative qualities of both. All understand that in some way animal brains are entirely different from human minds. But in what way? How are they different? For instance, certain creatures, such as chimpanzees and dolphins, have brains that are relatively similar in size and weight to that of humans. Some larger animals, like whales and elephants, have larger brains than man. Yet they are far less intelligent, far less creative and incapable of understanding any kind of complex thought.

Science has never been able to explain—to adequately account for—the enormous difference between the human brain and the brains of animals. While man has a brain that may be only slightly more complex than animals of relatively similar brain size, the difference in capability is vast.

There is simply no comparison. Animals function almost entirely on instinct. They do what they do automatically, and from birth. For instance, almost immediately after birth, a calf knows exactly what to do—how to stand up and take steps, and where to find milk. Human babies require far longer to even stand up with support, and have to be taught how to do virtually everything. Having minds, human beings have been given hands so that they can create.

Merely having brains, animals function on instinct and possess paws, claws and hooves. This leaves them incapable of building something complex like a television—let alone a jet airplane or space-traveling rocket—even if a mind were directing them. Animals are also not capable of acquiring knowledge beyond a very rudimentary ability to react to certain stimuli. Humans are capable of acquiring knowledge, drawing conclusions, gathering and assessing facts, making decisions—and of building character.

This is the single, greatest, overarching difference between men and animals. Animals are greatly limited because God has merely programmed into them, through instinct, everything that they need to function effectively within their environment.

On the other hand, people do not instinctively know everything necessary to function successfully in life. They must continually acquire more knowledge throughout their lives to address new challenges and demands made upon them.

This is made possible by an unseen, unrecognized component of the mind. Without this invisible, non-physical element, mankind would be just another dumb beast! This is a plain statement. But before looking into the truth of this matter—before searching to see what the Bible says about this human spirit—we must understand and accept what the Bible does not say. To do this, we must examine the most popular fallacy —the myth!

Many read verses like this one and conclude that it is speaking about immortal souls. But is it? Most people do not understand the relationship between physical men and souls. They assume that human beings are born with immortal souls. The popular belief is that, upon death, the souls of sinners go to hell forever and those of the just go to heaven forever, since all souls are supposedly immortal.

Is this what the Bible teaches? So, does the Bible somehow also teach that people have immortal souls? The Bible does teach that there is a connection between men and souls. This verse does not say that men have souls, but that they are souls. Adam became a soul—he was not given one.

When placed together, these three verses reveal that men are souls and that souls can die! Ezekiel confirms the Genesis account. Death is the absence of life.

It is the discontinuance—the cessation—of life. Death is not life in another place. The Bible says that souls can be destroyed! According to this verse, they can be destroyed as much as bodies can. This verse explains that God does the destroying of souls in hell! Bodies can die in many ways. But souls are destroyed in hell by God. This subject will be examined in greater detail in Chapter Ten. You are now prepared to discover what almost no one understands.

While man is composed of flesh, he has a non-physical component, the spirit in man, which can only be known of by what God has revealed in His Holy Word. Because man is made of physical matter—flesh—God, composed of Spirit, had to have a way for Himself Spirit to be able to work with and communicate with man flesh. Later, we will understand more regarding the vital spirit connection between God and humans, and exactly how it works.

The One who creates all the spirits in men calls Himself the God of these spirits. All physical creatures eventually die. This applies to men and animals. All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. Who knows the spirit of man that goes upward, and the spirit of the beast that goes downward to the earth? This verse shows that this cannot be talking about mere breath, plainly something different.

But animals have no such spirit. Now notice this astonishing verse. Let it interpret itself. Accept it for what it says. Each provides a different function in acquiring knowledge, and this verse identifies how. Even this very knowledge—that these two spirits exist and how they work—is in itself truly amazing! Think of it this way. Virtually no one has the knowledge about how either physical or spiritual knowledge is acquired! Animals do not have the spirit in man.

Animal brains are different from human minds. Humans are given this spirit from conception, allowing them, through use of the five senses, to acquire and retain knowledge. Remember, without this unseen spirit element, mankind would just be another dumb beast.

But he has been given the power to acquire, retain and use knowledge for all kinds of purposes. All human beings were created by God to receive two entirely different spirits.

One comes at conception, and the other comes by completely different means—repentance and baptism. Without the Spirit of God, people are simply incomplete. Thus, vast amounts of spiritual knowledge remain beyond reach. Though the human ability to acquire physical knowledge is beyond that of brute beasts, men cannot attain to any of this other marvelous understanding. Consider one example of how God can work through the human spirit. It illustrates an important principle.

The setting involves King Cyrus of Persia. He does the same today. Now examine the following scripture. It adds a new dimension to the verses we have read about the spirit in man and how it works. In the converted mind, both the Spirit of God and the spirit in man are present. This is truly fascinating understanding. The converted person is different from animals in two distinct ways. Now consider an additional point.

God has literal ownership of your spirit—and at conversion it becomes His to work with. It is critical to understand the character-building process at work in the converted mind and how it involves the human spirit. Self-control—temperance—is listed as a fruit of the Spirit of God in Galatians Take time to read it. When placed together, these verses show that only through the Spirit of God working with the spirit in man can temperance be built!

In it, He has preserved a complete, detailed record of all that pertained to the life of that individual. This is the plain statement of scripture. The spirit, soul and body represent all that was the person. The personality, experiences, accumulated knowledge and character of each human being is reflected in the human spirit—the spirit in man. So then, at death, the human spirit returns to God, who formed and placed it in the mind.

The deacon Stephen understood. And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. That is right! Now we are ready for one final scripture before continuing. This is an incredible passage. Before continuing, we need to at least mention one other kind of spirit. Besides the Spirit of God and the spirit in man, it should be noted as such that the devil is a spirit. He is part of the angelic realm of spirits, consisting of faithful angels and demons fallen angels.

We must look further at what He is doing with mankind. Remember, human beings are able to acquire knowledge. Animals do not have this capability. And God has programmed into animals, through instinct, everything that they need to function effectively within their environment. Humans receive the spirit in man from conception. It allows them, through use of the five senses, to acquire and retain knowledge. Once again, people do not instinctively know all that they must know in order to operate successfully throughout their lives.

They must acquire ever more knowledge as they grow older and as more demands are made upon them. Animals have no such need. We have already discussed that all available knowledge falls into either physical knowledge how to work with matter and physical things —or spiritual knowledge that which is necessary for people to develop personal relationships with God and man, and to achieve salvation.

All people recognize that the accumulation of useful knowledge is a lifelong process that continues throughout their lives. The spirit in man makes this possible! But it is critical to recognize that the human spirit is not the man—it is in the man. There is a big difference! This spirit does not have mind power by itself. Neither does the brain. The brain hears through the ears and sees through the eyes. The human spirit does not do these things of and by itself.

The brain does the thinking—with the spirit giving it the power of intellect. Remember, the spirit is in the man, giving the five physical senses the ability to work with the brain for analysis and discernment of meaning and comprehension. Like electricity to a computer, the spirit empowers the mind to process information received through the five senses. All knowledge is learned. Tiny babies are born with none —their minds are like blank sheets of paper waiting to be written on.

In the process of growing up, they must learn to do everything. To function as adults requires much physical knowledge.

Of course, adults recognize that no one can succeed in life without a certain amount of knowledge. But herein lies a great problem. The physical knowledge that man has acquired has been insufficient for him to be able to solve the many great problems afflicting all the nations of the world. For instance, he is utterly incapable of learning how to be happy or to bring abundance and peace to Earth.

And no one has discovered how to rid the world of war, poverty or disease. After God created Adam and Eve, He presented them with an all-important choice—a critical decision to take one of two paths. They listened to the serpent and chose the wrong tree! This carried grave implications beyond what most could dream because, by not choosing the tree of life , Adam and Eve cut themselves off from the Spirit of God.

They were left incomplete, incapable of receiving, understanding or forming spiritual thoughts. While this was never His intention, it was the result of their choice. God intended from the beginning to give Adam and Eve His Spirit. It would have joined with the spirit in man to form a newly-begotten spirit life in each of them—and in all mankind to follow.

Adam was given more than a brain—he received a mind , containing the human spirit. He had the power to choose—to decide for himself his own fate. He was not forced to follow, or be automatically led toward, any prescribed path. He had not been programmed or limited to instinctive thinking, as were dumb beasts.

This would have opened his mind to the Plan of God—to why he had been created. We saw that his decision caused him and his wife, Eve, to be cast from the Garden. But their joint decision carried grave implications for all human beings who came from them—who could not then have access to the Tree of Life. Grasp what this means! Human beings are not finished— they are incomplete! All knowledge that enters their minds is strictly limited to the physical and material.

This is absolutely remarkable understanding—unknown to all but a few today. And it was not understood until the twentieth century! He desires to offer eternal life to all who qualify for it. But you have seen that there is an incredible purpose that God is working out in those He has called. But Paul understood how God works in Christians. He also recognized that salvation Rom. These cannot be earned.

But this does not mean God is not clearly working and requires good works in human beings, as He reproduces Himself. Most will simply not permit God to work with them. Some few will even permanently reject God, refusing to obey Him—refusing to allow Him to work with them as clay. They will choose to remain incomplete — unfinished in purpose and character. The next verses describe their end. Matthew demonstrated this clearly. As explained, God is expanding His Family, adding more children.

Christ was first and all others must conform to His image—to His character and likeness. God has never worked in animals. They are lacking in moral and spiritual faculty. They are made for the enjoyment and service of both mankind and the environment. But they cannot acquire new knowledge and they have never been offered eternal life. God has never worked in or through animals toward any spiritual purpose. He is at work in begotten, Spirit-led human beings.

Human reproduction represents the very same pattern that God Himself uses. The human family is a type of the Family that God is building. Revelation shows that marriage between men and women pictures the great Marriage of Christ to His bride. This will be further explained in Chapter Seven. We have learned the Bible teaches that God has a detailed Plan involving an actual birth into His Kingdom for all those He has called. And the second birth does not occur in this life.

We cannot be part of the Marriage to Christ in this life , but we can practice—rehearse! Understand again! All matter is physical. You are made of matter—you are physical, of the dust of the ground. There is nothing permanent about your flesh. Without food, water and air, for even a short time, you will die.

Likewise, no person can gain eternal life apart from the Holy Spirit present and working within him. Without this Spirit helping to change one, to give eternal life, none has hope! But God is working with a few now! Earlier we quoted Job. All the days of my appointed time will I wait , till my change come.

Job possessed the Spirit of God and understood when and how God would resurrect and change him. He recognized that it would be the very Spirit of God in him that would make this change possible. Paul also wrote to the Corinthians about the coming change at the resurrection, when all will awaken from sleep with a new spirit body.

Previously, we saw part of this passage. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I show you a mystery ; we shall not all sleep , but we shall all be changed , in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. This passage speaks of a mystery that Paul had to explain.

It is certainly a mystery to the world that there is coming this change to spirit composition at the resurrection of the dead when Christ returns. Most suppose that they have an immortal soul that goes to heaven upon death. Read our booklet Do the Saved Go to Heaven? At His Return, Christ will bring the individual rewards of all those sons and daughters through whom He and the Father have worked. Comprehend this! Your works in this life have a direct bearing on your reward in the next life.

That reward involves rulership. One particular phase of that rulership will last 1, years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. God intends to give all human beings an opportunity to receive His Spirit, build His character—to be finished and come to completion!

And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

It was absent from the 27 other animals surveyed which included human and Jamaican fruit bat. This sequence appears to have been incorporated into an existing functional gene in rats and mice, although its specific function is not yet known.

Since most scientists are heavily influenced by the evolutionary worldview, they often miss indicators of purpose. For example, the section of DNA discussed above is a transposon a type of mobile genetic element or transposable element. After the putative transfer, it was copied and integrated into several different parts of the genome in the various species. This requires that the proper tools e. Diseases draw attention and research dollars, so the problems associated with transposons have been recognized before the benefits are understood much like was true of bacteria.

The biblical view explains an important paradox we see in the world around us. It anticipates the complexity that is constantly being uncovered by scientific research; God is an all-wise Creator and would be expected to use awesome design patterns and programming. It also explains the decay observed because mankind sinned and brought death into the world; the world is now in bondage to decay Romans — This is an exciting time to be a creationist researcher, as the tremendous volume of scientific research is helping to provide answers to questions that have been asked for decades.

Do you have answers to the big questions about the Christian faith, evolution, creation, and the biblical worldview? Now you get the important information you need regarding the existence of God, global warming and climate change, cloning and stem cells, human and chimp DNA, the importance of Mount St. Helens, and more.

Unclean animals probably included all non-ruminants. See Leviticus 11 ; Deuteronomy —8. Ussher, The Annals of the World , L. Pierce, trans. Jesus is a visible representative of the Father. First, Jesus is the image of the invisible Father because the Father is always invisible.

John The angels cannot see the Father and the saints will not see the Father at or after the Second Coming. This fact brings us to another interesting point. Matthew , The Father a living God resurrected a dead God Jesus. See Acts and Revelation Also, the presence of three distinct Gods explains why the unpardonable sin is uniquely defined as blasphemy against the Holy Spirit and not the other two Gods.

Matthew ,32 If the Holy Spirit cannot live in our heart and communicate with us because of rebellion, fellowship with Jesus and the Father becomes impossible and therefore unforgivable!

Long ago, three divine equals decided to create a family and expand the universe so in love, they willingly surrendered many powers and prerogatives to each other.

They became one in purpose, plan, and action. For example, consider this possibility: I believe the Godhead decided one God would sit on the throne of the universe and He would display the awesome powers and infinite glory that belonged to each of the three Gods. This required the other two Gods to surrender their display of power and infinite glory so that the universe might have one supreme ruler above all.

In other words, three Gods would speak through one mouth. He is the Word of God. When He speaks, things appear or disappear. Psalm The relationship between the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit defines what love is. For example, when Jesus came to Earth, He came to do the will of the Father who sent Him John , but do not overlook the larger point. Jesus surrendered Himself to the will of the Father long before He came to Earth. Why would co-eternal members of deity surrender their wills to one another?

The simple answer is that their love for each other produces a universe without conflict or competition. The Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit determined their created beings needed three Gods, but the Godhead decided the creation would need one God the Father to be the highest focus of adoration and worship. Finally, the three Gods knew that creation would need one God the Holy Spirit to live within each heart so that all creation could have instant and simultaneous communication with the Father.

This arrangement puts God above, beside, and within every living being within the universe! Their desire was that God would be present in every place or heart in the universe this explains why the Holy Spirit is omnipresent, but the Father and Jesus are not. To accomplish their goals, three equal Gods surrendered prerogatives to each other and this amazing union is called love.

This is why the Bible says that God is love. It is amazing that three infinitely powerful and glorious Gods are constrained by nothing but love and humility to live and work together for the happiness and welfare of their family. The only thing holding the government of the universe together in righteousness is love and humility!

Jesus is a perfect reflection of the Father. The Father is also a perfect reflection of Jesus. In other words, the Father would have died for us if that had been necessary. Moreover, the Holy Spirit is a perfect reflection of Jesus and the Father, and He is willing to remain invisible for eternity so that the glorious Father might be glorified as the supreme Ruler of the Universe.
