What is The ORIGIN OF LUST and GREED THAT CORRUPT PEOPLE, EDUCATION, BUSINESSES, POLITICS, and RELIGIONS? How Was The Power of Human Imagination Corrupted?

Left uncontrolled and without the True Knowledge of God, the fallen natural power of human imagination conceives and develops fantasies, illusions, and many evil imaginations that usually gratify one's physical senses and selfish ego. This misguided and uncontrolled innate power of imagination is the Psychological Root of Man's Evil Inclination (Heb. Yetzer Hara). But this is not the kind of mindset when Man was originally created by God. How did this corruption of the human mind come to be? How can you set yourself free from this deception that leads to Death?

MESSIANIC-KABBALIST PASTOR GENERAL
The BRIDE OF CHRIST, MINISTRY OF LIFE

When God created Adam, He took the dust from the place of the Temple and built his body from the 4 corners of the world, each of which gave him strength. Later, God "breathed into his nostrils the BREATH (NESHAMAH) OF LIFE (Genesis 2:7).

• The LORD God formed Man (Adam) of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the BREATH (Heb. Neshamah) OF LIFE; and Man (Adam) became a living soul.  (Gen 2:7 KJV)

The NESHAMAH OF LIFE includes the Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom. Then Adam stood up and knew that he is connected to both the High and Low, the Heaven and the Earth. And because Adam possessed the Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom, his Mind is PURE and UPRIGHT. 

• ... God has made Man upright...  (Ecc 7:29 MKJV)

By this purity and righteousness of Thoughts and Imaginations Adam was able to have that intimate Face-to-Face relationship with the LORD GOD.

THE WRONG USE OF FREEWILL RESULTED TO THE CORRUPTION OF THE POWER OF HUMAN IMAGINATION

The ROOT-CAUSE of Man's blessings and curses is his Powerful Imagination. Before the sin of Adam, this Powerful Imagination is pure and connected to the supernal MIND OF GOD. Nevertheless, God gave Man the RIGHT (Human Right) to decide of his own, which is called the FREEDOM OF CHOICE OR FREEWILL. 

• The LORD God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 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."  (Gen 2:17 HNV)

The First Sin was committed when the First Man (Adam) used this gift of Freewill to rebel against the very God that gave him that Freewill! 

• And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasing to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make wise, she took of its fruit, and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and HE (ADAM) ATE.  (Gen 3:6 MKJV)

Before the First Sin, the Evil is OUTSIDE the psyche of Adam. But after the First Sin of eating from the forbidden Tree of Knowledge of GOOD AND EVIL, the EVIL from that forbidden Tree entered INSIDE the human psyche and resided in it. 

So, now the Evil is at the very door of the Human Mind, ready to corrupt It! Left uncontrolled and without the True Knowledge of God, the fallen natural power of human imagination conceives and develops fantasies, illusions, and many evil imaginations that usually gratify one's physical senses and selfish ego. Thus, the human psyche was corrupted with evil and became the Psychological Root of Man's Evil Inclination. In this kind of environment, God's pure Messianic Kabbalah Knowledge and Wisdom cannot dwell. So, the human mind lost, and even resists God's Messianic Kabbalah Knowledge and Wisdom (Romans 8:7). 

The human eyes are connected to the Brain; and since the MIND (Brain plus Human Spirit) lacks God's True Knowledge and Wisdom, Mankind now see and perceive things very differently than that of the Creator God.

• And the eyes of both of them were opened. And they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made girdles for themselves.  (Gen 3:7 MKJV)

WITHOUT GOD'S MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM, THE HUMAN MIND IS IN THE FALLEN STATE OF MATERIALISM, PHYSICALITY, AND CARNALITY!

This fallen human mindset is now devoid of the supernal Messianic Kabbalah Knowledge and Wisdom. Thus, the human mind is corrupted with a distorted logic. It is now disconnected from the Kabbalistic Mind of God. The human mind was then transformed into a very different mindset producing limited and lower thoughts compared to that of the Creator God.

• MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.  (Isa 55:8 KJV) 

• For AS THE HEAVENS ARE HIGHER THAN THE EARTH, so are... my thoughts than your thoughts.  (Isa 55:9 KJV)

Thus, the Human Mind fell into materialism, physicality, worldliness, and carnality; comprising the enmity against God (Rom 8:7).

THE FIRST SIN LOST THE GOSPEL OF MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM AND SET THE STAGE FOR THE BIRTH AND GROWTH OF THE FALSE GOSPEL OF MEN!

The First Sin removed the Gospel of Life and Truth, which is the Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom. This loss subjected Adam and his offsprings to Death. Since Man lost the Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom, he also lost his free access to the TREE OF LIFE.

• The LORD God said, "Since man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil, he must not reach out, and also take from the Tree of Life, and eat, and live forever."  (Gen 3:22 HCSB)

A CORRUPT MIND THAT REBELS AND IS IN ENMITY AGAINST GOD WAS BORN!

Now, the Mind is the dictator or controller of the Heart. The eyes are the extensions of the Mind, and the Lips or Mouth are the extensions of Heart. The Mind must possess God's True Knowledge and Wisdom to properly control and direct the Heart's emotions and desires. By this True Knowledge of God, the mouth or lips will be able to speak the truth.

But the First Sin resulted to the loss of God's pure Messianic Kabbalah Knowledge and Wisdom! This loss created a vacuum that attracts the impure, worldly, and humanistic knowledge and ideas to enter the human mind, which is already influenced by the powerful Evil Inclination. Thus, Mankind now has the Mind and Heart that indulge in lies, falsehood, carnality, and selfishness! This kind of corrupted mind is not fit to stay in the Garden of Eden. Thus, the first Man and Woman were ejected from the Garden of Eden! 

• So the LORD God sent him away from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken.  (Gen 3:23 HCSB)

• He drove man out, and East of the Garden of Eden He stationed Cherubim with a flaming, whirling sword TO GUARD THE WAY TO THE TREE OF LIFE.  (Gen 3:24 HCSB)

• Because THE CARNAL MIND IS ENMITY AGAINST GOD: for it is not subject to the Law of God, neither indeed can be.  (Rom 8:7 KJV)

Thus, the powerful FACTORY OF IDEAS called in Hebrew KOACH HAMEDAMEH or HUMAN IMAGINATION, became rebellious and corrupt; giving birth to the carnal mindset in the universe! This corrupted human mind manufactures false assumptions, fantasies, illusions, wrong beliefs and concepts, polluted man-made doctrines, etc. Deceptions, lies, falsehood, and lusts, which are produced in this misguided and uncontrolled power of man's imagination, now abounds. 

• ... God has made man upright, but they have sought out many inventions.  (Ecc 7:29 MKJV)

All of the above resulted to many False Religions, and the False Gospel of Men.

CORRUPTION, DECAY, AND DEATH BECAME THE NORM OF MANKIND AND THE UNIVERSE!

Thus, the untamed wild imagination of the human mind became the psychological base of the evil inclination that absorbs the seeds of sin. It then conceives, feeds, and nurtures fantasies, lusts, and wicked thoughts that gratify the baser drives of carnality, unto death -- the wages of sins (James 1:14-15, Rom 6:23)!

• Each one is tempted by his lusts, being drawn away and seduced by them.  (James 1:14 MKJV) 

• Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin. And sin, when it is fully formed, brings forth Death.  (James 1:15 MKJV) 

As a result, Mankind and the Universe were subjected to Aging, Decay, and Death! 

• For the wages of sin is Death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.  (Rom 6:23 KJV)

WE MUST STRIVE TO RECAPTURE ADAM'S ORIGINAL RIGHTEOUS MINDSET, AND EVEN MORE: TO HAVE THE INCORRUPTIBLE MIND OF JESUS CHRIST!

To revert back to the original pure, pristine, and blessed creation, the human mind or imagination must be transformed, purified, and re-connected to the supernal mind of the Creator God (Rom 12:2). The model for this mind transformation is the mind of Jesus Christ (Php 2:5). 

Do not be conformed to this world, but BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, in order to prove by you what is that good and pleasing and perfect will of God.  (Rom 12:2 MKJV)

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.  (Isa 55:7 KJV)

For THIS CORRUPTIBLE MUST PUT ON INCORRUPTION... (1Cor 15:53 KJV)

This human mind transformation and renewal is only possible via the power and wisdom of God's Messianic Kabbalah, which was personified by the LORD and Savior Jesus Christ!

• Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:  (Php 2:5 KJV)

Continued on Part 3: THE SIN OF THE FIRST ADAM, CAUSED THE "PLAN A" OF GOD TO FAIL. God's "PLAN B," which Requires the Messiah, is Now The Only Hope of The Fallen Mankind. Thankfully, The 2nd Adam, -- The Messiah, Overcame Satan and The World! Now, It's Time For True Christians To Do The Same!
