The Natural Body vs the Spiritual Body
In the early days of our journey when God revealed Himself to us and the mysteries of the Word of God and His Kingdom, we put the mysteries of God in the design of the header of the book 'A World Deceived'. We have also displayed the header on every page of this website (see above).
This article has been written to further explain the mysteries of God and the natural body and the spiritual body as displayed in our header and as spoken of in the first epistle of Paul the apostle to the Corinthians. We invite you to read and study all the scriptural references, as the words we use are not ours but given to us by the Spirit of our Father (John 14:24).
Natural
1 Cor. 15:44
Born in Sin
1 Peter 1:23
Death
Romans 6:23; 8:3;
Spiritual
1 Cor. 15:44
Born of God
John 1:13; 3:3; 1 John 3:9; 5:4
Life
James 1:15 John 1:4; 5:24; 6:33,35; 8:12; 10:28; 11:25; 17:3; 20:31; Romans 6:23; 1 John 1:2; 2:25; Jude 21; Rev. 2:7; 21:7
In your natural body you are separated from God and under the power of sin (Satan).
In this condition you are not able to understand the Bible as it is spiritually discerned. To the natural person the Bible is no more than just another story book.
1 Cor. 2:14
Repent
Unless a person repents and turns from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God, people will remain spiritually blind and separated from God (Acts 26:18; Mark 6:12; Luke 13:3; 15:7) and without the Baptism of Repentance (Mark 1:4) the Bible will remain a mystery.
Mark 4:11; 1 Cor. 4:1; 13:2; Ephesians 1:9; 3:3; 6:19; 1 Timothy 3:16; Romans 16:25
In your spiritual body you will be able to judge (discern) all things. We encourage you to read the articles 'Judging ~ Born Again' and 'Born of God' listed on this website.
1 Cor. 2:15; Phil. 3:21; 1 John 3:2
In Summary:
Any form of religion is not able to transform you. Through the religions of this world Satan and the spirit of this world has conditioned and transformed your natural mind (Romans 7:25; Romans 12:2) and made you believe that he is a god. In truth you serve after an image of a false God and a false Christ (Matthew 24:24; Gal. 4:8).
Religion is like putting new wine into old bottles and like putting a piece of new cloth unto an old garment (Matthew 9:16,17). Religion dresses you with the wrong garment (Matthew 22:12; 25:32-46). Only God is able to transform a person from the natural body to the spiritual body. Any claims by members of the religious community that they are 'Born Again' is falsehood and a lie (Proverbs 19:9; Ps. 144:8,11).
2 Cor. 11:13-15
The purpose of this website is to show the people of this world how and by whom they have been deceived and we encourage you to read all the pages and articles, in the hope that you will come unto the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4).
