Straight Answers part 1

Chapter 1
It has come not only to my knowledge but my very eyesight, hearing and any other senses that I might possess, that the world has been overcome by sin.
Sin is the transgression of the law. The law is those things which God has deemed right or wrong. If God says that something is right and you don’t do it, you have committed sin. If God said something is wrong and you do it, you have committed sin.
If you had your own perfect place, there would not be anything in that place that you did not like. Before you can ever have your own perfect place, you would have to understand that you were made by God to be in His perfect place.
Satan was the most beautiful angel God ever made. Because of his vanity, he mounted a rebellion against God. Since God made him and all things, he failed and was cast out of Heaven. When God cast Satan and those that had joined him in his rebellion out of heaven, He also cast everything that was not perfect to Him out too. Now everything in Heaven is perfect.
God gave Satan over to sin. He cast Satan to the earth. Since man was given to sin so was the earth. It was the perfect kingdom for Satan to rule. So God gave the earth to Satan.
The earth from its conception was made temporary. It exists until God is finished with it then it will be destroyed. It was designed by God to show mankind, (God’s greatest creation), sin and death. It was the perfect kingdom for Satan.
Satan has always hated man because man was made to be higher than angels in the kingdom of God. That is why Satan rebelled in the first place. The penalty for rebelling against God, considering God is life, would be death. Satan is temporary and so is the earth. The only thing here now that is not temporary is you.

Chapter 2

I was told by the Holy Spirit that the Lord God did not sell anything and that Satan does not give anything away. The Spirit said that there were only two places to get anything in this world. One is to receive it from God who made all things and the other is to get it from the prince of this world, Satan.
Man was made so he brought nothing into this world. Therefore he gets everything from somewhere else. If you are obedient to God then it is His great pleasure to GIVE you the things you need and desire. If you are obedient to Satan then it is his pleasure to SELL you the things that you lust after.
If you live unto God in the name of Jesus Christ, filled with the Holy Ghost, then you must be thankful to God for everything that is given to you in life. If something comes up that you are not grateful for, you must stop, take a look at it, pray about it and find out whether it should be repented of and put away from you or you learn that it is some gift from God and you learn to be grateful for it. If we, who are called, are ungrateful to God in the presence of mankind, we put forth a very bad testimony that defiles many. If we are thankful then God takes care of us one day at a time. We receive wonderful things from God that are everlasting and He takes care of our needs that are temporal.
God does not give as the world gives. Money is NOT of God. He never gives money. God may allow you to labor with your hands so that you will have somewhat to give to those in need in the flesh. But He would never wish for you to have anything to do with money for the purpose that you will have anything. There is no need for you to take care of yourself in any fashion. You are to take care of others only. God will take care of you.
If God has not given you a thing that you have asked for, there is a very good reason why. If you turn to the other source because God has not given it to you and instead you buy it from Satan, the pleasure you receive from it, if any, will pale in comparison to the burden it will cause you to bear in the flesh.
God and Satan are the opposite of one another. God is everything and made everything. Satan is nothing and he made nothing. Everything God does for you are because He loves you. Everything Satan does to you is because he hates you. God has a plan for you that is for your ultimate happiness. Satan has a plan for you that is for you ultimate downfall. God gives gifts that are good and everlasting. Satan sells things that are ultimately bad for you and are all temporary.

Chapter 3

Everything in the flesh deteriorates or dies. Every animal, bug, plant, even mountains and rocks eventually die. You are born in the flesh. So from your beginning you have been dying. Since the day you were born, the sand has been running out of your hourglass.
In our ignorance, we think that life is the time between when we are born and when we die. This does not make sense since to us, concerning God. At the time when we know the least, we have the most life. By the time that we have experienced enough of life to gain wisdom, we have that much less life and are closer to death.
You must understand that you are created to last forever. You were put in this temporary world and in this temporary body to gain wisdom. You are a soul and a spirit. Your soul and spirit are everlasting. You have this temporary body to learn about things that are bad to everlasting life, without having any everlasting effect on your soul or spirit. If a child wants to learn how to paint and you have an old shed that you are going to tear down anyway, you might let that child start by painting that shed. If he does poorly or messes up it doesn’t matter. The shed was temporary anyway. He learns better how to paint and any mistakes he might make learning it gets torn down with the shed.

Chapter 4

If you have not read the bible then I suggest that you get started. A real good place to start is in Matthew chapters 5-7. Jesus tells us all the basics of getting started pleasing God. It is important to know what pleases and displeases God. To know what god considers sin is very important to you.
If God tells you to do a thing and you don’t that is sin. If He tells you not to do something and you do, that is sin. It is not a sin because it will harm or bother God. It is a sin because it harms and bothers you.
God has had time without beginning to figure out what is good and bad. He is quite sure of His decisions and He won’t change His mind. Make no mistake you will not be happy until you agree with all of them. It is not enough that God tells you so you give in and do it. All the commandments of god are for your everlasting happiness. If you say to yourself “I don’t agree with god but I will do it anyway” you will eventually give into temptation and sin. The sign says “do or do not” signed God but before you are through learning the sign will say “do or do not” signed you.
We have no idea of the magnificence of what we are to God. He will not let you rest until you agree with everything He says always and forever. Time is nothing to god but it is very important to you. However much time, pain, sadness or whatever it takes that is what you will do.
There are easy and hard ways to learn everything. If you tell your child to duck, the easy way is for him or her to duck. They can find out why by watching others bang their heads or they can disobey you and when they have bumped their head enough times they will start ducking anyway. If you tell them not to play in traffic you don’t wait until they are smashed by a car to learn why you said it. If you catch tem doing it after you have told them, you should inflict minor damage to them so they don’t have to endure major damage to learn the reason why you commanded it.
If you don’t partake of the gift of the instruction of God, you will partake of the reason for it anyway.
