The "God Kind?"

If you find yourself STILL searching for that "something missing" in your life, then you are in the right place to begin your journey to THE TRUTH! If you make it through this short introduction, you may have what it takes to really receive the truth. However, if you expect to be convinced in a minute or two, you will likely lose interest and go on to the distractions you are comfortable with in your day to day life! Have you proven what you believe? If you haven't taken the time to prove, from the Bible, the beliefs you have regarding God and Christianity, then how do you really KNOW that what you think is true, IS true? Most people go through life accepting as true whatever they are told. Most people don't care whether what they believe is true or not. Most people are content to blindly plod through life and aren't the least bit motivated to consider their belief system. If YOU are reading THIS, and you haven't taken the time or responsibility to make sure that what you have been told about God, religion, the Bible and Christianity is really true, then you have nothing upon which to base your belief other than what someone else has fed you. Has someone else told you what to believe? That isn't good enough. If you didn't bother to take the time and responsibility to consider what you believe about your God and to personally know what He wants from you, then your "religion" is in vain. Christ Himself stated, Mt. 15:9 - "In vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines, the commandments of MEN!" If you haven't proven what you've been told using the bible, then ALL you really have are "the commandments of men." Are you content with that? Do you trust in that? Do you regard your God and your religion so little? Are you willing to place your life in someone else's hands like that? This is ONLY for those who seriously want to find the truth and who are willing to seek it. If you are just "playing church," and accept your "commandments" as fed to you by others, then don't bother because you won't find or see the TRUTH that is here. The God Kind!!! Consider carefully just these first few scriptures regarding the Plan of God: Genesis 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. Genesis 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creeps upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good. Simply stated here in the book that claims to be the very mind of God, animal life on this planet was created "after it's KIND." However, next we read of a profound event: Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man In Our Image, After our Likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. This, for those who have the eyes to see and the ears to hear, is the very first hint of what the "Family" we know of as God (Hebrew, Elohim, is plural, meaning more than one involved) has in mind for MANkind. You see, this creation of the "kind" called man (male and female) was different than the creation of animal "kind." The genetic work done was patterned, not after the animal kind, but after the very image and likeness of God. However, lest you jump to conclusions prior to getting the whole story and time elements, manKIND, as he is NOW, is NOT fully created after The God KIND . . . YET. Let me explain. Here is the basic plan as outlined in the Bible, the very book that millions of people claim as their source of their beliefs. Prove it in your own Bible now, while there is time to do it: At mankind's creation, God placed within him a "spirit" which set him apart from all other flesh on the earth. This "spirit" (not to be confused with the false teaching regarding the "immortal soul") is what allows him to have dominion over all the other animals. It is what gives mankind the abilities such as conscience, intellect, awareness, creativity, etc. These attributes are shadows of the very mind of God, but in a severely limited form. This spirit is what makes man what he is and allows him to express all the attributes he does. Notice some references to this "spiritual essence:" Job 32:8 But [there is] a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty gives them understanding. Zechariah 12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, says the LORD, which stretches forth the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him. 1 Corinthians 2:11 For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? (The spirit in man gives mankind the ability to know physical, carnal things of and by itself). Even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God. (This spirit is differentiated from God's Holy Spirit, and is NOT the soul which so many believe we have... People ARE Souls). -Daniel 4:24-37 describes someone who had this "spirit in man" removed for a time during which he was, mentally, simply another animal. The purpose for this spirit is to allow mankind free will and conscience through which to learn and grow and become more like the Father and the Christ themselves (the "US" of Genesis 1:26 and other places). Through this free will and free choice ability, we (mankind) are choosing, and shaping our own nature as WE see fit. THAT is the whole problem and the CAUSE of this world's problems. THAT is what God is working with to shape those who respond to His calling and truth. This, for now, is a very few individuals because humanity, EVERYONE, has been allowed (by God) to be deceived by another spirit that secretly influences the spirit that gives us consciousness, and who's whole purpose is to STOP this process by which God is creating more kind like He and Christ... The God Kind. The purpose for a God being to have come to this earth in the flesh, as a man, was to establish a wide range of events that are unfolding on this earth today, and that are part of a much bigger picture that most people have no idea about. This process involves every human who has ever lived, lives now or ever will live. It is described in remarkable detail for those who have been given to know this plan, NOW. Most of Christianity is blind to this truth, and struggles with itself in dealing with scriptures. The facade of Christianity is riddled with errors regarding who the Christ is, who and what the "Elohim" is and the purpose for our creation. The common "holidays" ( a perversion of the word "Holy Days,") Christmas, Easter, Lent, are something man has perverted by substituting them for the true Holy Days that picture the whole plan of God. The substitutes distract people from the true plan of God, and keeps them in the dark as to their true potential.) Lastly, most people will not be able to receive this truth, or even study it out to try to prove or disprove it, simply because they don't care! DOES THAT INCLUDE YOU??? If you want to begin this study, I applaud your courage, and your intentions, but realize that this isn't a simple, slap-it-together project. This will invoke the powers of the universe and won't make you many friends. In fact, you will have to decide whether truth is more important than ANYTHING you have or want. Will you have to give any of those things up? Not necessarily, but probably if it is something that the Father and Christ see is a barrier to your spiritual shaping. Are you willing to take the first step? The Truth
