In the Pre-Adamic world, did an Original Earth exist before Adam?

Timeline showing the Old Heavens, Present Earth, and New Heavens including Creation, Noah's Flood, and Jesus Christ

Estimated reading time: 6 minutes

The Bible happens to reveal many things about what life existed in the Pre-Adamic World.

In this, Genesis 1:1 says:

In the beginning God created the heaven and the [Original] earth.'

Genesis 1:2 says:

And the [Original] earth was without form [as a sphere], and void [of any lifeforms]; and darkness [that enveloped the heavens] was upon the face of the deep [waters that covered the Earth].

Between those two verses, something happened.

Key Takeaways

The Bible reveals that the Pre-Adamic World existed before this Present Earth, which was affected by Lucifer’s Flood.
Jeremiah’s vision of Lucifer’s Flood depicts a desolate Earth without light, cities, or life, which is distinct from Noah’s Flood.
The article discusses contrasts between Lucifer’s Flood and Noah’s Flood, highlighting key differences in their circumstances.
It suggests that all humans may have lived a previous lifetime on the Original Earth before being formed again in this life.
The book ‘God’s Great Plan for Mankind – REVEALED!’ provides a comprehensive exploration of the Pre-Adamic World, including scriptural evidence.

Is ‘Salvation’ Simply Believing in Jesus?

God's requirement for Christians to RUN their spiritual RACE - Hebrews 12:1-2

The Bible says that SIMPLY BELIEVING in Jesus Christ relates to having one’s level of faith to that of Satan’s devils (James 2:19). These devils actually KNOW Jesus (Luke 8:30-31).

Estimated reading time: 10 minutes

Key Takeaways

The Bible states that simply believing in Jesus falls short of true salvation, as even thw demons believe in Jesus.
Salvation requires effort, conditions, and the production of spiritual fruit, which opposes modern church beliefs.
The book identifies Initial Salvation as a grace gift and Final Salvation as a process of spiritual growth to overcome Satan’s deceptions.
Christians must navigate two gospels: one of grace and one of obedience throughout their life, aiming for spiritual maturity.
Ultimately, genuine faith involves actively seeking the truth and adhering to God’s teachings, as detailed in the book.

The article that follows relates to chapters in this book (below). Each section challenges many beliefs about the Christian Salvation message being preached today.

What Does ‘Walking in the Spirit’ Mean?

Estimated reading time: 7 minutes

Galatians 5:16 says: ‘Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.’

Most sermons treat this as a disposition, an attitude, or simply a general orientation toward God. But the verse is operational. It assumes a conflict is already happening. It means that two kingdoms are already competing for the same person.

Key Takeaways

Galatians 5:16 emphasizes actively choosing to walk in the Spirit amid a conflict between flesh and spirit.
The ‘flesh’ represents a spiritual entity influenced by Satan, not just the physical body.
Walking in the Spirit requires faith, personal scripture engagement, spiritual fruit production, and endurance in truth.
Success in walking in the Spirit reveals spiritual maturity, which requires continuous obedience, not a one-time event.
Believers should reflect on their walk in the Spirit and consider the truth of their faith, as outlined in the article.

How Does God Test Believers?

Christians often wonder how does God test Believers. If some say that suffering towards individuals occurs randomly, this means that faith becomes a lottery.

Key Takeaways

The Bible teaches that God tests Believers through suffering, which is purposeful, not random.
Satan serves as the specific adversary in this testing process, allowed by God with limitations.
Believers experience multiple tests designed by Satan to assess their faithfulness and obedience to God.
The life on Earth serves as an arena for Christians to prove their love and loyalty to God while resisting Satan’s lies.
Understanding how God tests Believers is essential for spiritual growth and navigating trials in faith.

The Apostle Paul’s Gospel of Salvation

Paul's Mystery Gospel that involves 'The Race' (Hebrews 12:1)

This Bible-based analysis of the Apostle Paul’s Gospel of Salvation explains the requirements Christians MUST meet for entry into Heaven.

In this, God requires every Christian to enter into and “RUN” in the “RACE that God has established” (Hebrews 12:1-2).

This “RACE” is similar to a cross-country “endurance race” (1 Corinthians 9:26). This is where God requires every Christian to use a map (i.e. their Bible), together with a compass (the Holy Spirit). This is to enable them to reach the Finish Line (or Final Salvation):

Estimated reading time: 6 minutes

Key Takeaways

Christians must meet specific requirements for entry into Heaven based on Paul’s Gospel.
Paul’s Gospel outlines eight stages of spiritual maturity, starting with the New Birth and leading to Final Salvation.
True discipleship requires Christians to forsake all material wealth and fully surrender their lives to Jesus.
Unity in the Body of Christ is essential for fulfilling God’s will and each member has a specific role.
Christians must acquire the Gifts of the Spirit to perform good works, such as healing and preaching, as part of their ministry.

"...and LET US RUN WITH PATIENCE THE RACE THAT IS SET BEFORE US,  2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith..."  (Hebrews 12:1-2)

The New Birth

Many preachers claim that if an unsaved person accepts Christ as their Savior, they have experienced the New Birth, or “born again”. However, can such a claim be justified in scripture?

Estimated reading time: 7 minutes

Key Takeaways

The New Birth, or being born again, signifies a spiritual transformation initiated by God, which allows one to perceive the state of God’s kingdom.
This transformation parallels the natural birth, where God’s word acts as the seed together with the human heart as the spiritual soil.
As an unborn child
The New Birth addresses the curse of sin inherited from Adam and Eve, enabling direct spirit-to-spirit communication with God once a person is born again.
Being born again is a prerequisite for salvation, and one’s spiritual growth is guided by biblical teachings and truths.
The article encourages readers to verify its claims with trusted church members and invites comments for discussion.

I question this because of my own ‘New Birth’ experience (John 3:8). What happened at this time was that God placed a “new heart” within me (Ezek 36:26). This experience allowed me to “see” the state of God’s kingdom inside the churches, which to me was horrific.

Let me explain.

Final Salvation: Christians must ‘Run the ‘Race’

God has established the requirement for every Christian to “Run the Race” that has been established for them:

“…let us [meaning every Christian] RUN WITH PATIENCE THE RACE that is set before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…”  (Hebrews 12:1-2)

Once modern-day (unsaved) individuals hear the Gospel message—those who believe and then accept the ‘Good News’ by confessing Jesus Christ with their mouth, the Bible says that such people are ‘Saved’ from spending eternity in Hell (Rom 10:9-10).

However, such people are yet to run the race God has established for every Christian to embark upon and hopefully finish.

Estimated reading time: 9 minutes

Key Takeaways

God requires every Christian to ‘Run the Race’ towards Final Salvation despite challenges posed by the Devil.
Belief in the Gospel saves individuals initially, but doesn’t guarantee they will run their spiritual race effectively.
Christians must acquire spiritual items like righteousness, the Gospel message, and support from Jesus to succeed in their race.
Each Christian must grow spiritually and resist temptations to avoid hindrances in their journey.
Maturity in faith is essential. New believers, or ‘babies in Christ’ cannot start running the race until they grow in understanding.

Are you one of Abraham’s ‘Spiritual Children’?

Abraham's sacrificial offering of Isaac to God

If Christians hope to acquire eternal Salvation, the Bible says they must become one of Abraham’s spiritual children!

Key Takeaways

Christians must become Abraham’s ‘Spiritual Children’ to attain eternal Salvation by demonstrating faith in God.
Abraham’s testing by God reflects the need for Christians to exhibit ‘WORKS OF FAITH’ alongside belief.
Initial Salvation comes from faith alone, while Final Salvation requires obedience, love and works for God above all else.
The comparison between Abraham and Christians shows that both must love and obey God to ensure their entry into Heaven.
Christians today must strive for spiritual maturity and perform works like Christ to fulfill their discipleship.

Parable of the Education System

Jesus Christ used parables to describe what the Kingdom of Heaven was like. This article represents a modern-day parable of the education system. As such systems of education are found in many countries, they are used to illustrate the Biblical truth about Salvation and how God expects His people to progress and mature from beginning (Initial Salvation) to the end (Final Salvation).

The scripture verse that underscores the message in this post is this:

“It is written in the prophets, And THEY [ALL truly 'born-again' Christians] shall be ALL TAUGHT [PERSONALLY] of God [the Father].  Every [truly 'born-again'] man [or woman] therefore that hath HEARD, and hath LEARNED of [God] THE FATHER, COMETH UNTO ME [Jesus at the Rapture].”  (John 6:45)

Estimated reading time: 11 minutes

Key Takeaways

The article presents a modern-day parable of the education system, illustrating the spiritual journey from Initial Salvation to Final Salvation.
Just as students progress through educational phases, Christians must grow in faith and understanding to achieve eternal life.
The parable details five levels of spiritual maturity: Kindergarten, Primary, Secondary, University, and Post Graduate levels of faith.
Each level requires Christians to engage in studying scripture and performing good works, ultimately leading to spiritual fruitfulness.
The message warns against reliance on human teachings and emphasizes the necessity of Bible-based knowledge for salvation, highlighting the importance of progressing in faith.

Paradise in Hell?

Do you know the Bible reveals there are five compartments within Hell? Most Christians will acknowledge there is a “hell” but know little more than that. But what about there being a Paradise in Hell, you say?

Estimated reading time: 6 minutes

Key Takeaways

The Bible describes five compartments of Hell. This includes Paradise and Hades, separated by a great gulf.
When Jesus died, He went to Paradise in Hell to preach to the spirits of the Old Testament saints awaiting redemption.
After three days and nights, Christ was resurrected from His death and became our High Priest in Heaven. He did this by offering His blood as the ultimate sacrifice.
Paradise in Hell has been empty for 2,000 years because truly ‘born-again’ Christians go directly to Heaven upon death.
To avoid Hell, Christians must obey the Apostle Paul’s Gospel, also referred to as ‘My Gospel.’

I recently read a blog post where the author believed Christ did NOT go to Hell. He explained the basis of his beliefs, but I reject his claims.
