<TITLE>04. Par 38-51</TITLE>L-38 We find out that Abel, be because God had received him, and He did not receive Cain's beautiful big offering, he had toiled so hard for. And was religious, and bowed down and worshiped, and so forth, done everything that Abel did, only he didn't have the revelation of what was the truth. So we find out, that when God accepted Abel's revelation and his offering, it made Cain get jealous of Abel. And there was the first murder.

L-39 We find out that jealousy become between the herdsmen of Abraham and Lot, and they had to separate.
We find out that Moses and Korah had a clash, also.
Jesus and Judas had a clash.

L-40 And as ever, it's been the same thing, and so is it today, the natural church and the spiritual church has a clash when they come together. Now, the natural tries to match the spiritual, always with a carnal impersonation. But, as it was with Esau and Jacob, it will not work.

L-41   God has His Church called, named, set aside. And in the age that She lives in, He'll reveal Himself to Her, each and every time, just as He said in Romans the 8th chapter, that the foreknowledge or predestination of God might stand sure. Cain, or I mean...

L-42 Esau and Jacob, before either boy was born, before they even had a chance to make a choice, God said, "I hate Esau and love Jacob," for He knew what was in them, from the beginning. And we know...

L-43 Keep that in mind, He knows what's in your heart. He knows what you mean. No matter what we say, He knows what you mean.

L-44 And it's always caused trouble. And they, the... always, the natural always tries, since Cain destroyed Abel, the natural has always tried to destroy the effects of the spiritual. We find it the same thing today, the very same thing today. It proves that it comes from Satan, because it's jealousy and impersonation of Truth.

L-45   So, we really believe that God never changes His mind about what He said. He always keeps It true.

L-46 But He has a permissive will. Now, there, where the trouble lays. We try to work on God's permissive will, and He will permit it. But also if we take His permissive will, though it's not right, He will make His permissive will to work out, together, to glorify His perfect will.

L-47 There is nothing will go wrong, with God. We're... He knows just where the clock is a-ticking at, tonight. There is nothing wrong. Every lick is hitting just exactly the way it should be, everything. We think it's wrong, but He knows it's right. It's supposed to be like this.

L-48 Like at the beginning, God just permitted sin to come. He didn't, not... That wasn't His perfect will.

L-49   But, you see, God, the great Spirit, the Father, in Him was attributes, and these things that you see displayed now is just His attributes being displayed. He dwelt alone, He was not even God; God was an object of worship. He was the Great Eternal One. And in Him was attributes, such as to be Father, to be Saviour, to be Healer. And now, how could He first... He had to be Father, because it proves He was Father, but He dwells alone. He alone is immortal. And, now, but His attributes has to be displayed.

L-50 Now, to be a Saviour, there has to be something lost. And God cannot purposely lose anything and then redeem it. It wouldn't be becoming to His holiness and His great judgment. But He put man on free moral agency, knowing that man would fall. And in that, then, He became man, Himself, in order to redeem back man that fell. That's the reason that Jesus was Emmanuel. If God sent another person besides Himself, then that wouldn't be just. God had to come Himself and take place. And God could not be come down in Spirit and take place, He had to be made flesh, in the flesh of His Own creative Son.

L-51 And He showed here, in the beginning, that His perfect will was to create man out of the dust of the earth. But, you see, He permitted sex to be brought in. He never did intend children to be born by sex, but it was permitted, which soon will fade away.
