Truth That Leads To The Tree of Life

Revelation 22:2 in the middle of its street. On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

There is a simple foundational truth running throughout the bible from Genesis into Revelation, do you know what that truth is? Before we reveal this profound and simple truth overlooked by many in Christianity let us state this.

Matt.5:37 But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.

We are told by Christ that our, yes, should mean, yes, and our, no, should mean no! This simple truth comes from the Word of truth Christ Jesus. Although, truth can be deep truth, and profound, truth must always be, yes, or no, but why? Christ further tells us why? He states anything in between, yes, and no, is from the wicked one, a lie!

Gen.3:2 The woman said to the serpent, "Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat, 3:3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'" 3:4 The serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely die, 3:5 for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

All revelation of truth should be that simple as a yes, this is truth! or no its not truth, but never middle ground where supposition is formed into darkness, and no light is found, accept in the human mind set upon corruption of truth. Middle ground is where speculation gives way to the lie, and the lie feeds the fleshly mind of human reasoning until we get to believing the lie! However, when we compared truth against God whom is yes, or no, we find we having nothing in between instead light!

1 John 2:21 I have not written to you because you don't know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

Titus 1:2 in hope of eternal life, which God, who can't lie, promised before time began;

Hebrews 6:18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.

Spirit Clashes With Flesh

The theme from start to finish within our bibles is based upon two things 1.) the Spirit of God, and 2.) the sinful flesh of mankind, both of these truth(s) are a yes, or a no, but nothing in between. This light of truth permeates the bible from start to its finish, from Genesis into the book of Revelation. We are not saying here that there are not other themes, but we are saying this is a foundational truth; for there are many truth(s) within the written word of God, but this truth of flesh against the Spirit is foundational to our understanding all other truth(s) found in our bibles.

Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.

Gen.3:14 Yahweh God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock, and above every animal of the field. On your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life. 3:15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel."

Galatians 4:29 But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.

Spirit in the bible means most often God's Spirit, there are many spirit son's of God, good and evil. However when we think of the Almighty God's he is the Spirit, for us to stay on track, we must understand the Spirit is life, but life how? The life of all humans are found in their blood, but the eternal life for all humans is found in God's blood, that is, so to speak, found in the Spirit of God. God created man from within himself, thus, man must be feed by God's YHWH life for eternal life.

Genesis 9:4 But flesh with its life, its blood, you shall not eat.

Genesis 4:8 Cain said to Abel, his brother, "Let's go into the field." It happened when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him.

Genesis 4:9 Yahweh said to Cain, "Where is Abel, your brother?" He said, "I don't know. Am I my brother's keeper?"

Luke 11:51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.' Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.

Hebrews 11:4 By faith, Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had testimony given to him that he was righteous, God testifying with respect to his gifts; and through it he, being dead, still speaks.

Hebrews 12:24 to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant,{Jeremiah 31:31} and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.

John 6:63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

The life blood of human feeds their body for life on earth, the Spirit of God, feeds those in Christ eternal life for life in the Spirit world, so what does the flesh picture in our bibles?

John 4:24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

John 6:63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

The flesh pictures most often mankind's fall into sin and death from Adam and Eves disobedience to God's Sovereign rule. Thus, disconnecting them from the source of life, God the Spirit. In that day of disobedience to God, both Adam and Eve died to their association with eternal life, God the Spirit, that which feed them eternal life! Without the connection of God's Spirit they are found in death. That thought permeates all the scriptures particular in the Greek writing commonly called New Testament.

Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

Disobedience Into Death

Subsequently, we have a war between life and death, or light and darkness. Putting it succinctly a war between flesh and Spirit found throughout the entire bible as a common thread connecting all pieces of truth together.

Rom.8:6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace; 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be. 8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.

This war is not about power, it cannot be about power, or control for God YHWH is all powerful when the breathe of YHWH blows upon flesh, its wither and dies. God has not lost power in rulership over the heavens and earth because flesh upon earth is in a state of rebellion against God's Spirit. There is no contest when dealing with God's power as though many think God must wrest his power back from the wicked, not true! Neither is it about control, for if it were control sin would have never been allowed to enter into the world in the first place! So it must be about love, where God refuses to make people serve him for any thing less than love for him.

1 John 4:16 We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.

Isaiah 40:6 The voice of one saying, "Cry!" One said, "What shall I cry?" "All flesh is like grass, and all its glory is like the flower of the field.

The war between flesh and Spirit is a moral war dealing with, who will love God, and who will love the god of their flesh more, which is spirit of flesh is found within themselves, in their quest in making a life on earth by their own blood feeding their physical life? In other words, within each person born on earth decision are made by experiences of good and bad from their life, decision are made, or made by others for them.

Matthew 6:33 But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.

Matthew 7:7 "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.

Acts 17:27 that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

This war is a god of flesh war, that is, removed from the Spirit of God, enslaved to its own fleshly thinking, standing right on its own thoughts of good and bad reaping its own planting as death and not life. Deciding for itself to love God or not? That was the question presented to man before Adam was enslaved to death from sin, and the mind coming from the sins of flesh in the Garden of Eden. Would he rule his own life, choosing death away from the life giving Spirit of God, or believe God is good and love, and live in peace and harmony with the source of life

;doing so for the human race yet to be born from his loins?

The Choice Creating Sin

Sin is the flesh, hence, the blood that feeds the human body has sin, which causes us death. When Adam sinned, his flesh became a god to himself, and death was in him, because he was not created to be separate of God having been created within God, not outside of God's life (Spirit). He found himself in darkness, separated, alienated, from the source of his life (Spirit). Although, the flesh he now walked in had life in it from his own bodies blood, it was a limited life, and would diminish into death, growing old, wearing out like a garment, until it went back into the dust from which it was created.

Gen,3:17 To Adam he said, "Because you have listened to your wife's voice, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground for your sake. In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.3:18 Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the herb of the field. 3:19 By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return."

Sin found in the flesh causes us death, but not the Spirit, the Spirit is life which God gave Adam freely, it does not die or grow old. Adam died that day he sinned, he died to the source of his life, the Spirit of God. He found himself in darkness, living in fearing, and judgment, his life blood could not suffice to remove that fear and judgment coming from death by sins in his flesh created by his faulty mind of flesh. Only God love could remove the fear of death, i.e., only a Father's love could remove that fear and darkness from the mind Adam. The fleshly mind is judgment is produces judgments of death causing us fear!

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.

The War Starts

The war of flesh against the Spirit started on the day Adam sinned, his needs and wants of his flesh lusted against God's Spirit demanding power to sustain his eternal life. Adam flesh became violent towards the life of God's Spirit, why? Because the life force found in God's Spirit cannot begotten by sinful flesh. Hence, the flesh is the Spirit natural enemy, the fallen flesh does all in its power to save this life, and by force if necessary through its faulty mind in trying to get God to give it eternal life through lies and deceptions first to itself, and than to others. In other words, it barter (earn merit) with God for help in this life, and for the next life - through a mind that is corrupted by sin, not able to communicate with God, or know God personally like a son of God as Adam did by Holy Spirit when he had no sin.

Romans 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.

James 4:1 Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don't they come from your pleasures that war in your members?:2 You lust, and don't have. You kill, covet, and can't obtain. You fight and make war. You don't have, because you don't ask.

4:3 You ask, and don't receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures.:4 You adulterers and adulteresses, don't you know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.:5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously"?

Adam found the flesh was defeated into death, it was not a god, it was humiliated into corruption of its thoughts from the dust from which it came, having no power of godship found above for eternal life giving it peace from God's association. It was not elevated into a god status before God, it was put down in defeat of death, finding itself as a god living a lie! The flesh is a lie that lust against the truth of God Spirit. This foundational truth also runs throughout God's word, when ever the flesh meets up with Spirit of God it does all in its fleshly thinking to destroy the truth of the Spirit.

Romans 8:6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

Romans 9:8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as a seed.

Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.

Laws of Death, Law of Life

Adam chose laws for his life that choice proved to be death fear and judgment, not life from God's Spirit. All laws coming from the source of flesh (death), that is, mankind laws are death. Life cannot come from sin, it comes from life (without sin), the source of life God, whom does not sin, YHWH the Great Spirit of God.

James 3:11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water? 3:12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.

Galatians 5:9 A little yeast grows through the whole lump.

Hence, all laws mankind would created upon earth after sin enter into our world, laws for protection and building society would be laws of sin and death. They would be limited laws having a good in them to protect us, and also punished the wicked, but they would also have an evil built in them from sin of man that cause death. In other words, the source of eternal life, the Spirit of God was not found in this world by mankind's laws; no matter how good and noble their intention were in righteous acts! These laws must end in death, although, they do temporary good for mankind in this life, they are not the law of life, coming from God our eternal life.

1 John 1:1 That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life

John 5:26 For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.

John 6:63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

Life Not in Words of Man

1 Corinthians 4:20 For the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

The words of men in power can take or give us life in a very limited way. However, what the words of mankind cannot do is give us eternal life with the Father of mankind, YHWH. This is a great mystery, and a deception for mankind, how? By sinful humans in our flesh taking words from God's mouth believing because we speaks those words they speaking God's Spirit into a person connecting them to the source of life.

John 5:37 The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.:38 You don't have his word living in you; because you don't believe him whom he sent. 5:39 "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me. 5:40 Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life. 5:41 I don't receive glory from men. 5:42 But I know you, that you don't have God's love in yourselves.

This presumptuousness in our flesh first started with the devil whom told the first lie in saying his words could speak Adam and Eve into eternal life as gods, in their flesh self-sustaining eternal life away from the source of life God. This is what the Devil past on to all mankind. That is, from the flesh of man, without the Spirit of God, causing corruption of the fleshly mind under sin, alienated us from God life and light. Saying we could have eternal life in ourselves and our judgments of good and evil. Humans continued to believe that lie, and speak the same lie to others! Hence, creating a false religion - permeated with yeast teachings from dead works of the flesh into massive world wide confusion and darkness by false religion.

2 Corinthians 4:11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.

2 Corinthians 5:15 He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

Yes, the weak god of the flesh takes the words of God making itself into a god giving life and death as Satan the Devil did in the Garden of Eden is the same lie. Death creates death, no matter how man righteous and good words are from the bible; man's words cloaked words from the bible will not give us eternal life. Only life creates life, the two cannot mix, thus, the war found in the bible from start to finish, flesh lusting against Spirit!

James 4:13 Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow let's go into this city, and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit."4:14 Whereas you don't know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what is your life? For you are a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away. 4:15 For you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that." 4:16 But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.

The Fleshly Parts of False Religion

What comes from the flesh is death from sin, it has a mind of the flesh, which thinks in death, although, it creates many laws to protect life on earth in the flesh, and does many other find works for mankind those works and thoughts are not eternal life. Such is the mystery of long ago which is a great mystery found in all false religion? The calling of evil good, and good evil! In other words, that which is found in between our yes and no, is the middle ground of the wickness, where seeds of the devil are planted as imitation weeds of God.

Matt.5:37 But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.

Life does not come from our sinful flesh, nor its thoughts. Righteousness does not come from the flesh, or its thoughts even if it uses God's words from the bible. This planting of the flesh by uses of God's righteous word produces a world wide field of weeds, corrupted by such fleshly teachings. It is from the dust, and will be humiliated like the serpent it came from, upon the Christ return.

Daniel 12:2 Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

John 17:3 This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

John 20:31 but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.

Adam before sinning spoke words of life, first to his wife, and later he would have spoken them to the human race coming from his loins, how? Adam was filled with life of God, as a sinless man, he was the light to the world coming from him. He words were not co-opt like a thief Satan, they were part and partial of his life his personality created by God in Spirit association.

Once Adam sinned, his thought corrupted and so came false religion. Adam had nothing that was not given him by God, all he had was gifts of God Spirit coming from the source of life. Adam found after his fall into death the fear of death, caused by his flesh, and its mind, to lust for words of life. thus, the uses many words stolen from his past association with God. The fleshly mind is death struggles with words of righteousness thinking those words will give it life, because it has no part of God's Spirit mind found in light and life. It can only impute feelings and throughts of God from its own mind corrupted, so it cannot know God, who is sinless and alinated from our fleshly mind.

Proverbs 2:16 To deliver you from the strange woman, even from the foreigner who flatters with her words;

Ecclesiastes 5:2 Don't be rash with your mouth, and don't let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and you on earth. Therefore let your words be few.

Thus, came the use of many words taken from God's mouth creating a false worship of God. True worship must come from the indwelling of God's Holy Spirit (temple of God) it cannot come from words spoken by the fallen flesh which words are death.

Ecclesiastes 6:11 For there are many words that create vanity. What does that profit man?

Ecclesiastes 10:14 A fool also multiplies words. Man doesn't know what will be; and that which will be after him, who can tell him?

1 Peter 4:11 If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

John 3:34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure.

John 1:14 The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

The mystery and deception Satan false religion convinces the fleshly mind that life comes from death, or evil can be good, because it uses words God written in the bible to lead us to in Christ the word of God. The flesh gets lead as far as the man or woman speaking God's words to them, and not to the Spirit which wrote the words in their bibles.

The Source of Life

Where was the source of life for Adam? It was in heaven by association with God's Holy Spirit, it was represented in the tree of life found in the Garden along with the tree of knowledge of good and evil! In other words, the fundamental truth is life comes from God's mouth and not man's mouth which fleshly mouth only repeates bible words. Adam could not make himself a substitute tree of life, he must partake of the one good tree God had created for eternal life. (picturing our association by Spirit with God, having only good fruit on it free of sin.)

Gen.2:16 Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 2:17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it; for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die."

Genesis 3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed Cherubs at the east of the garden of Eden, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.

There was nothing in between yes, and no, for Adam, or Eve! Either Adam ate of the tree of life, or he dies eating from the tree of good and evil having sin? All words in between are from the Devil, the father of the lie, the creator of the fleshly mind, which creates many words of death labeling those words life coming from self, and not from above.

2 Corinthians 1:17 When I therefore was thus determined, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the "Yes, yes" and the "No, no?"

2 Timothy 2:14 Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord, that they don't argue about words, to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.

Ephesians 5:6 Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

1 Thessalonians 2:5 For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),

False religion is man religion created by many words of the fleshly mind in death boasting in the flesh calling itself the tree of life! This is the war the flesh lusting against the Spirit of God, it is the wicked sea of all mankind killing other human flesh to bring itself peace in the flesh, which thoughts of the flesh cannot claim down because its lives in fear of judgment and death.

1Cor.1:26 For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble; 1:27 but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong; 1:28 and God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are: 1:29 that no flesh should boast before God.

Power of the Wicked Flesh

The flesh is wicked, no matter it uses words of life, it is wicked and dead to God, not man's spirit. We are here talking about the cunning lies of our "flesh spirit" which lies to ourselves and others to save and protect this life from harm. God is not at peace with the flesh, a fundamental truth found throughout the bible. He is not fond of the flesh sin, created from birth of the flesh upon this earth. The sins of the flesh are not a separate part of us in this life, it is part and partial of how we are created from Adam fall into sin, meaning we are created from a lie, not our spirit, but our flesh spirit, which flesh makes all men liars. The power of the flesh comes from words of the flesh which are dead works, dead works to the Spirit of God. The flesh is in a constant state of fear from judgment which causes it to use many words to justify itself by words from our bibles, thinking this will give it life and freedom from judgment. Hence, these flesh justifications are called in the bible works, and/or works of law, but why?

Heb.4:9 There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God. 4:10 For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.

Works of Law

When Adam died to the source of life, God's Spirit, because of his sin, every thing Adam thought and did became death. No matter if he spoke words of life once spoken to him by God's Spirit, he could not come out of sin, and death by his own power. He was found in death a hopeless state of darkness alienated from God's communion with him for life. All humans since produced from Adam and Eve are born of sin, from the flesh of Adam. Thus, what ever Adam planted would grow more death, in weeds and thistles.

Galatians 6:8 For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

Adam could not produce life (from above), that is, eternal life, the source of life must come form above, God, the great Spirit, YHWH. The works of Adam hands would be death even if he built a temple for God, and used only word's once spoken by God in his temple before sinning; for he was in death from sin. Words could not delievery him from death of his own thoughts.

Works of law than become works of death, and nothing more. They are man's work of right and wrong, which are crated for this life by man's own judgments of what is good and evil, as a god. The great mystery is when men and woman used God's words and commandments thinking speaking them are words of life giving them life, and trying to obey them brings eternal life, but they do not!

This is fundamental truth of your eternal life, this truth leads us to life, but we must listen to God's Spirit from above to have life, or we fool ourselves in gaining life from an evil source (fallen flesh), by self, or a works of law. If we are dead, than we are dead, life must come from works of life, that is, someone else works not ours. If a dead man works are not his works also dead? The life in our mortal body are sold into sin our works from that body are dead works even if we uses good words from the laws of God. We cannot make our works into eternal life. We can chose to believe the lie Satan told Eve, or we can accept the tree of life, not of our making from our works of the sin flesh sold into death; blinding us to the source of life coming from God.

1 Corinthians 8:6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.

God's Spirit No Part of Adam's World

Romans 8:13 For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

God was no longer part of Adam's life or his world after he sinned into death. God is life, he does not have death in him or sin. Hence, he cannot, and does not mix with corruption from sin and death. Thus, Adam world was alienated from God's worlds. All that Adam did and created in the ways of making his world better even to saving of others physical lives was not of God's world where there is not death, and he must give us life!

James 1:15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.

This is shocking and hated speech too our flesh, and its mind alienated from the God's of love. The flesh makes this life the real life, born of sin and death and vanishing like a vapor of steam within second compared to God's own life. The war of the flesh is to hates God's standards calling him evil for not saving this life and the people within our lives. The flesh (picturing sin in us from Adam), that is, this life whic is born into death, it is not alive in God's eyes, but the spirit of us is, provided we can have the Spirit of God to open our eyes to the truth of His world?

What is important to this world is the flesh and this life now! But God does not love this world, and the things of this world created by sins of Adam in opposition to the real life. God does not consort with evil, or mix evil into his good (Spirit) making death acceptable. No! God is at war with death until it is removed from his creation as a evil created by the father of the lie the Satan the Devil.

1 Corinthians 15:50 Now I say this, brothers,{The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."} that flesh and blood can't inherit the Kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.

Galatians 6:8 For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

However, the evil in us lust against the Spirit, but the truth of this world the temporary good it does for this life now.

James 4:1 Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don't they come from your pleasures that war in your members?4:2 You lust, and don't have. You kill, covet, and can't obtain. You fight and make war. You don't have, because you don't ask.

4:3 You ask, and don't receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures.4:4 You adulterers and adulteresses, don't you know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.4:5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously"?

God's Creation Not Changed

God created Adam without corruption of sin, God's hands do not create evil. God creates not from man's thoughts of good and evil, but from life (only good and perfect), incorruptible life, not understood by the fleshly mind under sin.

Romans 8:5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

Romans 8:6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

Sin on the other hands, creates the same old pattern of predicable death from every thing created under the Sun. Once again a fundamental truth. There is nothing new under the Sun of flesh for mankind no matter how technologically advance we become, even into space travel nothing will be new. The flesh lust in anger against this Spirit thought of God, but it does not change the truth of God's own words, death is found in all mankind's ways, unless God makes mankind new.

Ecclesiastes 1:4 One generation goes, and another generation comes; but the earth remains forever.

Death is found in human race best laws, their best science, their best commerce, their best feeling of love for the human race in religion, life does not come from man. Life must come from God when He created life without sin, new on this plant earth. Anything not new from God's Holy Spirit is not life, but death, life does not come from death, it comes from life.

Revelation 21:5 He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and true."

This world and all the works of man's hands are not of God, or does he love them, he hates the sins of this world causing death in the human race. God has not change we must come to the tree of life, to have eternal life, free from the sins and judgment of sin of this world.

1 John 2:15 Don't love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love isn't in him.

1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn't the Father's, but is the world's.

1 John 2:17 The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains forever.

Where is The Tree of Life?

Mankind is not the well/waters of eternal life, not their greatest works, not in their greatest thoughts, they are a dead well causing death to all whom drink of them for life! The best mankind can offer us is temporary life in pain, sickness, and death, the rest is a bill of goods we want to hear for happiness on earth.

James 3:10 Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. 3:11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water? 3:12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.

Man's life wear down into death being set aside as an old garment that is wore out. Man's hope, dreams, hates, and love, do perish into the dust from which he came. He can build lasting monuments to his fame and glory, but nothing he does in death can control anything after he perishes in all his ways! The lust of his flesh cannot obtain him control when his spirit leaves his body, he dies. He is face with his life long fear of judgment, when loses control over his life goes into death.

Ecclesiastes 8:8 There is no man who has power over the spirit to contain the spirit; neither does he have power over the day of death. There is no discharge in war; neither shall wickedness deliver those who practice it.

Ecclesiastes 3:21 Who knows the spirit of man, whether it goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, whether it goes downward to the earth?"

His many words to boaster his flesh into power out of fear grips his heart at death, he is not life, nor anything he has produced from the works of his hard labor proceeds him or prevent him from this day that he knew would come, death is his truth! No religion stands in the way, no doctor, no technology holds the spirit of man in death.

Ecclesiastes 12:7 and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

Did he live the lie of the fleshly mind in self-salvation or did he find the tree of life? Did his own selfish lust from his flesh condone and justify his evil works upon this earth, or did he come to living waters in the new life, and new works of God's hands? Did he accept a substitute kingdom of false religion where he could live a lie and have decieving his own mind he could have both God's Kingdom, and the showy display of man's kingdom, mocking God?

James 4:13 Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow let's go into this city, and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit."4:14 Whereas you don't know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what is your life? For you are a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away. 4:15 For you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that."4:16 But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.

There is only one well that is not poisoned by sinful flesh, and its mislead his mind? It is not found on earth, it is the waters of the living tree of life, Christ Jesus planted in heaven by God's hands by Spirit, free of the well of mankind, and his fleshly thinking.

1 Corinthians 15:45 So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul."{Genesis 2:7} The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

John 4:10 Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."

John 4:13 Jesus answered her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,

The Tree Producing Good Fruit

Good fruit produce life, and the life from the fruit produces works of God, giving one the power from life found in the fruit to do the works of God. God's fruit grown with pure waters of eternal life (without sin), that is, his Spirit, but who is the tree of life?

John 11:25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.

Revelation 22:14 Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.

Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" He who hears, let him say, "Come!" He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely.

We must to gain life understand the unadulterated word of God, one must know another fundamental truth leading to life, which is? A good tree cannot produce bad fruit. In other words, it is not an illusion or a lie from the fallen flesh that believes it can produce good fruit and evil fruit from sin on the same tree calling it good by labeling those fruits by words coming from our bible. Such deception is not on the tree of life, such deception is found on a corrupt tree of mankind works, calling it life!

Matt.7:17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit. 7:18 A good tree can't produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.

Truth is light, truth does not dwell with darkness, the flesh lust against the Spirit which is the truth found throughout the bible. The flesh lies because it was created from a lie told Eve. Christ is the tree of life for mankind, whereas originally Adam should have been the tree of life for mankind. Within Christ there is no lie, or sin. He is the only person since Adam that produces only good fruit without sin for our eating. This makes him the tree of life planted by God's hands in the Garden of Eden, not Adam hands, or his thoughts, Adam's works did not give him life. it was God works that gave Adam life. Life for Adam was a free gift from God's love, God's works was a gift from God's love for Adam's happiness, it was not as today found in religious wrangling over God's word to defeat someone else flesh for human justification and glory.

Adam was created from peace away from the wickedness of the flesh, he was not wicked having good, and evil in him as fruit at the same time! He was good as God declared Adam good, free from the evils of the fallen flesh. Adam by communing with God's life, the Holy Spirit would produce only good fruit, not both good and evil the standard of sinful flesh holds too as righteous and life. Justifying the evil in us, by the good we do for God's through his commandments found in his word.

Rom. 7:18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don't find it doing that which is good. 7:19 For the good which I desire, I don't do; but the evil which I don't desire, that I practice.

7:20 But if what I don't desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.

All good works must come from God, out of his tree of life. Mankind and false religion has claimed their teachings as the tree of life, but at death their good and bad works go back to where they came the dust in humiliation of death, they have no control over or treasures to buy them out of death gates. (their earning by merit of works of law will not be cashed in buying them eternal life, so they can once agains make themselves as self-sustain god know good and evil.)

Psalms 49:7 none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.

Proverbs 20:9 Who can say, "I have made my heart pure. I am clean and without sin?"

1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Treasure of Eternal Life

Christ our tree of life is in heaven in the paradise garden of Spirit and truth, which cannot begotten by man's best efforts in his works of the flesh. God garden is no part of this world (flesh and blood), and cannot be seen by fleshly eyes. It is found in Christ the tree producing only good fruit free of death and sin (free of flesh). All Christ creates as the last Adam will be life, no weeds, or thistles having thorns causing pain that is now in mankinds fleshly mind. Christ teaching are life without curses, but blessling. Christ will not be like mankind fleshly mind having yes, no, and every things in between like shadows always changing according to our unrighteous moods.

2 Corinthians 5:16 Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.

Matt.5:37 But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.

Mankind's ways are seen in all its works (fruits) of good and evil, like ever changing shadows from hate to love. But God is light in perfect gifts, never changing from the whims of lust from human fleshly thinking. God's ways are not shaken by death or the talk of war on earth. God's ways are the same, he has not changed, he loves us because he is good and righteous extending the free gift of his love too us in everyway.

James 1:16 Don't be deceived, my beloved brothers.

1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow. 1:18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

Hebrews 12:28 Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can't be shaken, let us have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe.

Following the Narrow Road into Life

The road leading into destruction is found in our ways of flesh, upon seeing the futility of man's ways, some turn to the Christ as the tree of life, only to fall back into the easy way of trying to have it all like Adam and Eve. They feel restricted in Christ, because they want more now! So they chose a lie of false religion rather that be a church or themselves, an massive organization which condones and gives them both worlds, both fruit of good and evil making the evil on their trees justifiable by good works and false words taken from God's word the bible.

2Tim.3:1 But know this, that in the last days, grievous times will come.

3:2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,3:3 without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good,

3:4 traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; 3:5 holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof. Turn away from these, also.

3:6 For of these are those who creep into houses, and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,3:7 always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Such will be their kingdom that all human create while upon earth from the least to the greatest in self-rule. It will prove to be the planting of flesh, which all flesh complains about their lot in life, because greed of the flesh for this life is never content or satisfied; its hope rest in it self, by its own works. Nevertheless, the lie is easy to believe when cloaked in righteousness of good works, and words towards others so one can have both good and evil upon their tree. But the ways of peace from the Holy Spirit are not known from Christ world of Spirit and truth, because the fear of death and judgment stock us in every thing we do. In that state of he fleshly mind and its inherient judgments of evil one cannot rest in Christ, they will fight and wage war with words of Christ to gain merit.

James 4:1 Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don't they come from your pleasures that war in your members?4:2 You lust, and don't have. You kill, covet, and can't obtain. You fight and make war. You don't have, because you don't ask.

4:3 You ask, and don't receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures.4:4 You adulterers and adulteresses, don't you know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.4:5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously"? 4:6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."{Proverbs 3:34}

Being mislead, and misleading other into believing they are doing works of God by hate and judgment, but they cannot put fear of judgment outside themselves. Their fruit are upon their branches in making themselves a tree of life to maintain their lie. One can be highly religious and build a kingdom to their own good works among mankind or they can be like Lazarus out side the rich man's gates full of sores, licked by unclean beast and eat from the tree of life, rejected by all the world as a no good beggar, but have treasure in heaven. What price will you pay to eat from the tree of life?

1Cor.1:18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are saved it is the power of God.1:19 For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing."{Isaiah 29:14}1:20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the lawyer of this world? Hasn't God made foolish the wisdom of this world?1:21 For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn't know God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.

1:22 For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,1:23 but we preach Christ crucified; a stumbling block to Jews, and foolishness to Greeks, 1:24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 1:26 For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble; 1:27 but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong; 1:28 and God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are:1:29 that no flesh should boast before God. 1:30 But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption: 1:31 that, according as it is written, "He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord."{Jeremiah 9:24}
