From this understanding, I glean
that Adam was originally created
body, soul, and empty house or
empty container. I get the “empty
house” statement from (Matthew
12:43-44).
“When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh
through dry places, seeking rest,
and findeth none. Then he saith,
I will return into my house from
whence I came out; and when he
is come, he findeth it empty, swept,
and garnished.” (Matthew 12:43-
44).
“Empty, swept, and garnished”
describes the place God created in
Adam that would later facilitate the
“Christ in you” Spirit-nature when
an individual is born-again. When
Adam violated the commandment
God gave him, the empty house be-
came occupied with the death-sin-
nature of the devil, which we call
the sin-nature.
When Jesus died on
the cross the death-sin-nature was
destroyed (Romans 6:6). “Know-
ing this, that our old man is cruci-
fied with him, that the body of sin
might be destroyed, that henceforth
we should not serve sin. For he that
is dead is freed from sin.” (Romans
6:7).
The death-sin-nature was de-
stroyed leaving the container “emp-
ty, swept, and garnished.” The emp-
ty house is never left empty again
because it is now occupied by the
“Christ in you” Spirit-nature.
God could not place the “Christ in
you” Spirit-nature in Adam because
this would not be a freewill choice
made by Adam. The “Christ in you”
Spirit-nature placed in an individu-
al must be the freewill choice of the
individual. This is why God created
the empty house container to con-
tain the “Christ in you” Spirit-na-
ture, if Adam had made the proper
choice.
This is why I think Adam was cre-
ated body, soul and empty house! The empty house was usurped by
the serpent or devil.
Rightly Dividing the Word
of Truth
“And the very God of peace sanctify
you wholly; and I pray God your
whole spirit and soul and body be
preserved blameless unto the com-
ing of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1
Thessalonians 5:23). “For the word
of God is quick, and powerful, and
sharper than any twoedged sword,
piercing even to the dividing asun-
der of soul and spirit, and of the
joints and marrow, and is a dis-
cerner of the thoughts and intents of
the heart” (Hebrews 4:12). “Joints
and marrow” pertain to the physi-
cal body. “All scripture is given by
inspiration of God, and is profit-
able for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righ-
teousness:” (2 Timothy 3:16).
This
is most definitely true. However, all
Scripture is not given for receiving
the revelation of “Christ in you” be-
cause it was a secret and mystery
until revealed to the Apostle Paul.
Therefore, we need to adhere to
Paul’s gospel because of the “Christ
in you” Spirit-nature in us. Only
Paul’ Epistles require the revelation
process for born-again believers.
Revelation is a secret locator and
a mystery solved process admin-
istered only by the Holy Spirit to
born-again believers.
Revelation
is necessary only in Paul’s Epistles
and John’s Gospel because John had
access to Paul’s Epistles.
Humans are comprised of spirit,
soul, and body, each being a com-
plete and separate component
from the other. Each functions in
a unique method designed by God
to provide specific functions for
the whole man. The body provides
a wide variety of physical manifes-
tations. The soul-mind contains knowledge and the thinking pro-
cess and shares it with the body. The
spirit part of man is the only stable
and unchangeable part of man. It
matters not whether it is the spirit
of the devil or the “Christ in you”
Spirit—both are unchangeable.
Confirmation: “Jesus Christ the
same yesterday, and to day, and for
ever” (Hebrews 13:8). Body and the
soul-mind is the only created part
of man.
The spirit is the part that
is birthed and cannot be created.
Confirmation: “That which is born
of the flesh is flesh; and that which
is born of the Spirit is spirit” (John
3:6). Spirit can only birth spirit and
nothing else. Spirit is reproduced
only through the birthing process.
