The Quest For Godhood

Will mankind ever 'evolve' to godhood? Can a human 'evolve' into a god? Does not evolution involve natural selection? If mankind 'evolve' into a god through manipulating human DNA with technology to create a cyborg/avatar/trans-human, is that natural selection or manipulation by human effort? Will humans become extinct and be replaced by this techno-super humanity? And what does God have to say about it all.

Psalm 2:1-5 (RSV)

Why do the nations conspire, and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and his anointed, saying, “Let us burst their bonds asunder,
and cast their cords from us.” He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord has them in derision. Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury,

Ecclesiastes 3:11 (ASV)

He hath made everything beautiful in its time: also he hath set eternity in their heart, yet so that man cannot find out the work that God hath done from the beginning even to the end.

Not so long ago, a self-professed 'science guy' (no, not Bill Nye), sat at his own kitchen table, looked me right in the eye, and vowed that he will, "never change." He was speaking of his belief in science and unbelief in God. Although, he later said that he believed that something exists out there but he didn't know what (this is Buddhism), no one is apt to admit that they harbour demons. This person vowed that mankind will one day become gods!!! 

I sat there in stunned silence wondering if this individual realized the ramifications of what they had just said to me. That they had sealed their own fate. And not only their fate but that of their loved ones and their descendants. I wondered if they thought that they were hurting me or God.  The truth is, their rejection of God and His children hurts them and their children for they will ultimately be the ones who lose everything - their very souls - if they have souls, (see previous post on Narcissist, psycho/sociopathy).

A couple of weeks ago the Global Future 2045 Initiative met in New York City for the second time. Their quest? To pursue immortality!!!! It was a meeting of the world's elite; billionaires, leading scientists, new age gurus, and yes, Buddhists (the religion that communes with the Ascended Masters, The Great White Brotherhood, Light Beings, Enlightened Ones, Space Brothers, Aliens, Spirit Guides or whatever name they would like to call themselves.) The Bible calls them all demons. They are the fallen angels, Lucifer's legions or minions...but I'm getting ahead of myself.

The 2045 Initiative has an agenda that it is trying to push to the UN. On their website the stated goal is as follows:

2015-2020 the creation of Avatar A. A robotic copy of a human remotely controlled via BCI (Brain-Computer Interface).
2020-2025 the creation of Avatar B. An avatar in which a human brain is transplanted at the end of one's life.
2030-2035 the creation of Avatar C. An avatar with an artificial brain in which a human personality is transferred at the end of one's life.
2040-2045 the creation of Avatar D. A hologram-like avatar.

How would you like to extend your existence in a hologram-like avatar? Will this privilege be available only to the rich, educated, and supposedly spiritual? Or will it be made available to everyone and covered by OHIP/Medi-Care? And why is mankind relying so heavily on these Ascended Masters for the scientific and technological KNOWLEDGE needed to create the immortal man? 

Let's leave that aside for a moment to look at the deeper issues behind the quest for immortality. Why is there a deep seethed need to beat or cheat death? Why is death looked at as an enemy to be conquered? Why the need to garner power and control over others? Where does this need come from - why?

What about the rest of humanity that does not choose to 'evolve' to godhood or cannot afford to buy (assuming these avatars are not going to be handed out like food stamps at the local grocery store) avatars? Will they be allowed to live or will they be eliminated, or as Madam Helena Blavatsky called it, "cleansed" from the earth in order for humanity to 'evolve' to godhood and the Age of Aquarius can be properly established so that their lord Maitreya can take his place on the throne to rule the New World Order - the One World Government spoken about by - wait for this one - Ms. Blavatsky, the Baha'i faith and now, George Bush, Henry Kissinger, and company!!!

So! Is the New World Order going to be a secular humanist system or a theocracy? Rest assured that these Immortalists have no intention of giving up their Space Brothers, I mean their Ascended Masters, or is that their lord Maitreya - or whatever. Be sure of one thing, the New World Order is not an atheistic system! You will be worshiping someone and no, it won't be yourself, even if you attained godhood. Which you never will. 

Dear reader, immortality and godhood are not one and the same. Achieving immortality does not make anyone a god period. That is why in Revelation 9:6; men, not gods, will seek death and not find it. Imagine a trans-human/cyborg finding its existence so unbearable that it desires to die and it cannot. Notice that God in the Book of Revelation does not recognize the trans-human/cyborg as a god but a mere man. Be careful what you wish for.

Revelation 9:6 (KJV)

And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

Revelation 6:15-17 (KJV)

And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

So, why the need to cheat death? Why the desire to attain godhood or immortality without the involvement of God the Father? Well isn't it funny how nothing ever changes and there is no new thing under the sun. Let's go back to the Book of Genesis and the first man and woman in that Garden, and what transpired there. 

Simply put, the serpent conspired to deceive the woman in order to bring about her demise and that of the man and thus put him, the serpent, in control of planet earth (the Bible rightly calls Satan the prince of this world - there are spiritual laws that govern the universe). Satan is a usurper. So how did he do it? Well, the old carrot on a stick - "And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods,..." Ye shall be as gods!!! And to this day her children continue to run after that old carrot on a stick - to their own destruction. Oh how people never learn.

Here's a little bit of Christianity 101. Satan was a beautiful angel, created perfect by God, without sin. Musical instruments and precious stones adorned this cherub. He was the anointed cherub. He was in Eden, the garden, and he became corrupt because his beauty got to his head so to speak. He became arrogant and his knowledge became corrupt. He purposed in his heart that he will usurp God. He wanted to be as God! The Lord did the only fitting thing there is to do. 

He kicked out Lucifer and the Bible tells us that Lucifer fell to the earth filled with wrath, here to wreak havoc on humanity. Scripture also tells us that this cherub led a third of the angels in heaven in a rebellion against God and His angels. He was cast to the earth along with his minions.

However, he is still outnumbered 2:1 against God's army. His plan is to use humanity, a trans-muted humanity if he can, to build up his army to wage the final battle at Armageddon. His goal? To stop the descent of Christ at His second coming! 

So do we see Lucifer walking around today on planet earth? Of course not! The scripture tells us a lot about this fallen angel and his minions. Including where they currently reside. They inhabit the dense atmosphere above our heads! And it is these beings that the religionists contact when they reach out to touch ETs' finger. They go by whatever name will draw a person in. Whether it is the Great White Brotherhood, ET, Ascended Master, or whatever. They have the ability to transfigure themselves, to appear to a person as an angel, a beautiful person, or a translucent being. They are impostors. They are dangerous. They are deadly. And their desire is for human souls. To destroy and kill and steal souls, that is their only goal.

They use humans. If a human offers their body as a medium for them to come into them, they accept. Madam Helena Blavatsky was such a medium or channeler. Her spirit guide called itself the Tibetan Master, Djwhal Khul. She wrote the words her spirit guides dictated to her and it became the New Age religion. The religion of the UN! She founded the Theosophical Society and Lucifer Publishing, now called, Lucis Trust which is headquarted inside the UN building in New York. A member of the Theosophical Society is present at EVERY important meeting held by the UN.

Russ Dizdar, who has heard the demons scream at him, 'we are the legions that will rule the world,' has been a pastor, police chaplain, and teacher for over 20 years. He attended the 2045 Initiative in New York and placed a Bible in the hands of 32 year old, Russian billionaire, Dmitry Itskov who thinks he can achieve immortality by the year 2045 - he and everybody else! Mr. Itskov will be without excuse the day he stands before his Judge to give account for his life. Mr. Itskov will have eternal life, but will it be in heaven or in hell? If he repents and finds salvation in Christ he is saved. If not, he is lost forever.

As Russ reports here, there are many questions that still need to be answered, such as, whether trans-humans will marry, need sex, procreate, etc. What happens when a cyborg commits murder, will he get life in prison? :)  Russ tried to get answers but no body had any. Russ has some answers of his own and they are answers for life and eternity. They are found in the pages of the Bible and they are the living words of a God who loves his creation. He speaks out of the silence to everyone who has ears to hear and eyes to see. To behold His goodness and His glory. And He bids all to come to Him as they are and He has promised that He will never turn anyone away who seeks Him out and calls to Him out of a true heart.

God has set eternity in the hearts of men (Ecc. 3:11, ASB). God did that!!! Not man! And the God who has set eternity in the hearts of men also provided the physics and the Way to indestructible, irreversible, immortality. If you would like to know how to receive the gift of eternal life, with God in Christ, turn to Christ today while He can still be found. Possess your own soul, do not lose it or sell it to the devil or anyone else for a counterfeit spirituality or immortality. Come to Christ today. He will not refuse you. Nor will He ever lie to you.
Our 'science guy' finally said to me that I received my knowledge from a man. I told him his knowledge also came from a man. In the final analysis dear reader, who would you rather listen to and believe? A man born of a virgin, who never lied, performed miracles, raised the dead, healed the sick, made unique claims about His diety, sacrificed His very life on a crude Roman cross for humanity's salvation, Himself raised from the dead after three days in a tomb, ascended into heaven and said He is going to return again in like manner after sending His Spirit, the Holy Spirit, to indwell His believers, who to this day changes lives; or a Racist elite who wrote a book titled, 'On the Origin of the Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life, ' and went by the name Charles Darwin?

Or are the demons, the elemental spirits that inhabit the dense athmosphere above our heads your source of knowledge? The White Brotherhood, the Ascended Masters, Spirit Guides, ETs with their Akashic records? Who and what is your source of knowledge? Be careful who and what you listen to.

If you do not know the living Christ today may you come to know and hear the voice of the One True God. His name is Jehovah. He is the God who loves. The God who cares. The God who holds all the answers to life's questions. Turn to Him today and live forever! He offers eternal life for nothing in return. He bids you to come and buy without money. To drink of the waters of life freely. In His presence is peace unspeakable and joy everlasting. He is a pleasure to know, love and serve.

Isaiah 55:1-3 (KJV)

(God speaking), Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you.

References: Ecclesiastes 1


(Ecclesiastes 1) Looking for meaningful, happy
lives, people today turn to seminars, retreats, and self-help books.
When one system fails they go on to the next, believing that their
persistence will lead them to the right formula. Solomon in the Book of
Ecclesiastes did the same thing.

The New World Order (NWO): The New World Order (NWO): What Is It? I f you are a savvy news person, you may be familiar with this term, if on the other hand you are like most of the general...

The Narcissist, Psycho/Sociopath

Preface:

One of the things that have interest me for some time now has been human nature. What motivates people to do and say the things they do and say. From the Biblical perspective it is black and white. A person is either under the power of Satan or under the power of the Holy Spirit. Put another way, they're either guided by the spirit of this world, i.e. the spirit of darkness (Satan is the prince of this world) or the spirit of light.

One simply needs to observe people's behaviour and speech to know which of those two 'spirits' they are operating under. After all what is in the heart is what will come out of our mouths and our actions. That is what Jesus meant when He said "you shall know them by their fruits."

Understanding human nature is integral to the work those of us do; not only in ministry, but also in secular work - especially if we are in positions of authority where we have others working under us.

I cannot remember the first time I began researching the subject of psychopathy/sociopathy or why I started but it may have been connected with an inmate (from my prison ministry) that I was trying to comprehend. It opened my eyes into what the field of psychiatry terms an "incurable" disease. Personally, since the Bible does not call evil a disease, I see psychopathy/sociopathy as demonic. That is, the individuals affected by this condition are under the power of Satan and are therefore demonics.

Now, Humanists say that we're all a bit psychopathic - after all we're fallen creatures prone to sin. However, the narcissist, psycho/sociopath is more so than the normal average "human". The normal average person with a conscience will have that (their conscience) as a check and balance in place. The psycho/sociopath does not have a conscience to operate as a check and balance within them. Therefore they are more apt to do acts that the other's conscience won't allow them to.

So how does that relate or translate to the Christian life and walk - or does it even correlate? In other words can a narcissistic psycho/sociopath be a Christian? Can they be saved? Do they even have a soul?

Two things determine whether one is a Christian or not and both must be evident in the Christian's life and conduct: (i) One's theology determines whether one is a Christian or not. That does not mean that one has to be educated in a seminary. It simply means that their theory of who God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit are in relation to them must align with what Scripture says. (ii) They must be walking in obedience to that theology. Put another way. What makes a Muslim a Muslim?

The Apostle Paul speaks about the conscience of the unbeliever bearing witness for or against them, perhaps excusing them, etc. These words of Paul have a lot of implications behind them. For, I believe, that if such a person (with a conscience) would hear the Gospel (properly presented - to meet them in their specific condition), they will be apt to be convicted of sin and turn to Christ, as opposed to the person without a conscience (the psycho/sociopath) who cannot be convicted.

Conviction is the heart condition required for the gift of repentance to be received in order that one may be saved. I don't know if you're following me here - but I'm driving to a specific point regarding the psycho/sociopath and whether they can be saved or not, (remember in the field of psychiatry they cannot be cured). Can a being without a "soul" or "conscience" be saved? Is not the Holy Spirit in the business of saving "souls" i.e. convicting sinners, and conviction is done to the 'conscience.'

So what is the Christian to do? First of all, Christians need to be discerning. Sadly, today's Christians are not even being discipled on how to live the Christian life victoriously, much less on how to deal with evil when confronted by it. I am sure if you've read thus far by now, you are either spooked or in denial. As you will see from some of the quotes below, our modern secular world is a breeding ground for this type of 'human' and normal human beings are ill equipped to deal with these 'humans' because they do not even know about the diabolical nature of this evil and how to recognize it - except in some extreme cases.

Secondly, these people can be your own loved ones. They could be your brother, sister, mother, father, child, or spouse. They could be your coworker, boss, neighbour, teacher, doctor, or the nice little lady at your supermarket check out counter. Anyone.

Psychos are charismatic people. They act normal most of the time (they do need the occasional break to wallow in the mire). They can present themselves as the most sweet, caring, people you ever met. Here is the ugly, scary part. I have NEVER met a psycho who does not believe in a God!

Finally, Christian, as you know, the moment you were saved you embarked upon a spiritual warfare that ends only when you breathe your last. Well, who are you fighting? And what are your weapons of warfare? We know that Satan operates through people who are under his control. Our enemy is unseen, but the manifestations of his evil works are not unseen. If our weapons of warfare are POWERFUL for the pulling down of strongholds - and they are. Why are those strongholds not coming down? Indeed they just seem to be going up in greater numbers daily.


A couple of links on the subject are listed below:

http://www.cassiopaea.com/cassiopaea/psychopath.htm

http://saferelationshipsmagazine.com/women-who-love-psychopaths-book-center

And some quotes found at the first link are listed below:

"In other words, psychopathy is being recognized as a more or less a different type of human."

"One very interesting aspect of the psychopath is his "hidden life" that is sometimes not too well hidden. It seems that the psychopath has a regular need to take a "vacation into filth and degradation" the same way normal people may take a vacation to a resort where they enjoy beautiful surroundings and culture. To get a full feeling for this strange "need" of the psychopath - a need that seems to be evidence that "acting human" is very stressful to the psychopath - read more of The Mask of Sanity, chapters 25 and 26. "

"Being very efficient machines, like a computer, they are able to execute very complex routines designed to elicit from others support for what they want. In this way, many psychopaths are able to reach very high positions in life. It is only over time that their associates become aware of the fact that their climb up the ladder of success is predicated on violating the rights of others."Even when they are indifferent to the rights of their associates, they are often able to inspire feelings of trust and confidence."

The psychopath recognizes no flaw in his psyche, no need for change. "

"Our world seems to have been invaded by individuals whose approach to life and love is so drastically different from what has been the established norm for a very long time that we are ill- prepared to deal with their tactics of what Robert Canup calls "plausible lie." As he demonstrates, this philosophy of the "plausible lie" has overtaken the legal and administrative domains of our world, turning them into machines in which human beings with real emotions are destroyed. "

"The truth - when twisted by good liars, can always make an innocent person look bad - especially if the innocent person is honest and admits his mistakes. "

"It has often been noted that psychopaths have a distinct advantage over human beings with conscience and feelings because the psychopath does not have conscience and feelings. What seems to be so is that conscience and feelings are related to the abstract concepts of "future" and "others."'

"In short, the psychopath - and the narcissist to a lesser extent - is a predator."

"But in many instances, such as love relationships or faked friendships, it is not so easy to see what the psychopath is after. Without wandering too far afield into spiritual speculations - a problem Cleckley also faced - we can only say that it seems to be that the psychopath ENJOYS making others suffer. Just as normal humans enjoy seeing other people happy, or doing things that make other people smile, the psychopath enjoys the exact opposite. "

"It should be emphasized that psychopaths are interesting as all get out - even exciting! They exude a captivating energy that keeps their listeners on the edge of their seats."

"At the same time, psychopaths are good impostors."

"Psychopaths make their way by conning people into doing things for them; "

"Manipulation is the key to the psychopath's conquests. Initially, the psychopath will feign false emotions to create empathy, and many of them study the tricks that can be employed by the empathy technique. Psychopaths are often able to incite pity from people because they seem like "lost souls" as Guggenbuhl-Craig writes. So the pity factor is one reason why victims often fall for these "poor" people."

"Even more amazing is the fact that when psychopaths do get exposed by someone who is not afraid to admit that they have been conned, the psychopath is a master at painting their victims as the "real culprits."

The article talks about "John Wayne Gacy" and his run for political office and how his supporters rallied around him even as he was being convicted of murder. It gets better. Our modern westernized societies are not only breeding grounds for this type of "human" it is also a vista for them to thrive in. They tend to be the doctors, lawyers, politicians, etc., of the new world order. Scary.

Conclusion:

I first shared this blog as an e-mail with a psycho (I've expanded on it for this article), just to see what their response would be. It was interesting. Without getting into the details, they finished their response by saying, "Let's keep free of psychopathics by holding on to the Savior's hand." Yup!

My response to that, in part, was: 'That is impossible for the true Christian because from the moment one gets saved one embarks upon a Spiritual Warfare that does not end until death... Not to mention, protect myself from psychos when they cross my path as they will most definitely do as I walk in this wilderness that is the world. So while I may not be able to be free of psychos this side of eternity, I hang on to my Lord's hand for dear life. He is my life. My Saviour and my Protector. The One who fights for me - and always wins. He is the Victor...

As Christians, we will encounter people under the influence of the evil one. Whether those people are psychos (demonics) or normal (non-demonics). Whether they are our own loved ones or not. We cannot avoid them, as long as we live and interact in this world. We are certainly not seeking them out. However, we will encounter them in our lives and we need to be equipped to recognize and deal with them - and win. He secured the victory for us at Calvary, there is no reason to live in defeat.'

Here is one of the clearest discussion of this condition that I have read from the perspective of evil and the spiritual dimension by Doug McManaman, Narcissism and the Dynamics of Evil.
