In His life and ministry upon the earth, Jesus is quoted as saying, “They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance”. Jesus speaks these words in the hearing of those who are supposed to be spiritual physicians (what the term preacher suggests) to their people. Spiritual physicians who are supposed to operate in the hearts of men (human spirit>psychological state, human will, decision making processes) using the spiritual instruments that are mighty through God to the dismantling of strongholds (spiritual surgery> cf. 2 Corinthians 10:4-6). Spiritual physicians who are supposed to have the concerns of the Lord and the needs of their people as their absolute concern and highest priority (what the term faith is supposed to mean). Spiritual physicians who are supposed to operate by the anointing of the Holy Spirit and not the carnality of their own humanism nor the influence of tempting satanism. In reality, however, King Jesus is speaking these words in the hearing of those we could classify as “Physicians of Death”. Spiritual leaders of carnal humanism (what the term carnality means) coupled with demonic influence that teach humanistic principles (what the phrase “commandments of men” suggests) and satanic influences (what the terms “dark sayings” and “doctrines of devils” suggests) for the word of God. Spiritual leaders that deliver the edicts of death and the statues of darkness for the appearing of “light” and “life” before unregenerate men (what the term “antichrist” suggests). Subsequently, these physicians of death create unregenerate false worshippers; who worship not in “Spirit” and in “Truth”, but in carnality (religious spirit) and demonic influence (religious tradition). Thus bringing to pass the word of the Lord when it states: “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves”. Digressing for a moment, spiritual strongholds are thoughts within the unregenerate psychological state that are dominated by satanic forces and are re-introduced in a repetitive sequence creating a type of spiritual prison. Spiritual strongholds are highly lethal within the human psychological state because their repetitive nature can become permanent leading to what the bible calls a “reprobate mind”; a mind that cannot exit this permanent prism of destruction. In this reality, the human soul is lost to a fixed place of permanent torment or what the bible refers to as the place of perdition (cf. Hebrews 10:39). Constant rejection of the word of God is what allows satanic forces to create strongholds in the psychological state of mankind. If these satanic forces enter the religious realm where there is no “standard of the Spirit”, unregenerate men can take positions of authority appearing as ministers of light when in reality they are agents of darkness operating in the spirit of antichrist. Returning to the main line of thought, the amalgamation of unregenerate leaders and unregenerate false worshippers produces in the world what we could term as a “carnal church” or what the New Testament refers to as the “apostate church”. The detriment of this carnal church with its physicians of death and false worshippers is that apart from the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, it becomes impossible to detect this nefarious organism. This is why the Apostle John counsels the true church, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world”. The true worshippers of the Lord Jesus Christ (what it means to be a believer) seek the leading of the Holy Spirit in all facets of life as not to be overthrown by whom the scriptures refer to as “seducing spirits”. Forces of darkness that work in the hearts of unregenerate persons that act in the church setting as deceptive agents given to the dispensing of false doctrines, false worship, and false lifestyles. Concerning the physicians of death, their operations are not in the interests of the healing and restoration of their adherents, rather, their chief focus is upon the enrichment of their carnal desires. These physicians of death accomplish their ominous carnal pursuits in a myriad of ways; most notable is controlling the psychological states of their adherents through strict, carefully crafted, and deceptive measures that appear in the form of religious traditions that are designed to be both fanatical (suppressive) and highly manipulative (perverting). Now more than ever in the present afflictions of the human existential condition, must the true worshippers of the Lord manifest the manifold wisdom of God the Father. Manifold wisdom not rooted in the deathly amalgamation of humanism and satanism which are leading the blinded souls (false worshippers) to the threshold of eternal damnation; but rooted in a demonstration of the Lord’s power and His mighty Holy Spirit which lead willing participants into the eternal security of salvation in Christ and away from the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone.

From a theological perspective, the garden of Eden in holy sacred writ (the Bible) presents to us the fall of mankind from the ontological (what it means to have being) state of innocence. This “Fall of Mankind” is a symbol (a messenger that points and participates) of the deathly amalgamation of humanism and satanism entering not only the ontological awareness of mankind’s (species) spirit, but also, it compromises the realm of creation leading to a deathly existential state in which mankind must now live. Subsequently, every human being now would be born into this deathly amalgamation of humanism and satanism in the essential (what the term fallen human nature suggests) and also the existential (what the term fallen creation suggests) states virtually ensuring that at some junction in their journey they would be immersed in the crucible of pain and suffering. This is what in theological disciplines is referred to as “The Adamic Nature”; the state of being and the state of creation that virtually ensures intersecting with deathly matters. This is what the Apostle Paul expounded when he writes: “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” and also, “Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.”. This revelation unequivocally answers the question “Why do bad things happen to good people?”. Bad things happen to good people because those people (satirically speaking) were born into a world where the deathly amalgamation of humanism and satanism have fostered a spirit of rebellion against the Lord’s commandments both in human nature and the nature of creation leading to the cauldron of immense pain, suffering, and yes, sometimes even death itself. Astounding to note, is the fact that, there are no measures that can be taken internally within the human spirit or externally within the human condition that can immunize mankind from this deathly cocktail of pain, suffering, and termination. Mankind has no hope of delivering himself, creation cannot reverse the pronounced judgment upon itself, and satanic forces will not deliver mankind due to the impotency experienced in their own eternal judgment. In other words, mankind is doomed if the source of deliverance derives from one of these three sources which are hopelessly judged and condemned through sinful propensities. This profound revelation leads us to seek a source of deliverance that can answer the myriad of dilemmas both in time and eternity simultaneously. The greatest dilemma to be solved by this source of deliverance is; that it must cause mankind both to survive in time and in eternity simultaneously while satisfying the word of judgment pronounced in the garden that created present circumstances. The spirit of death (essentially) and the reality of death (existentially) set in on mankind and satanic forces as they transgressed the word of the Lord bringing the power of death to bear upon both eternity and time. Death then, becomes the absolute survivor’s dilemma for both mankind and creation. Placing the weight of culpability anywhere else than upon the shoulders of an unbridled humanism and an unfettered satanism is a futile and untenable endeavor. In order to conquer this absolute survivor’s dilemma of reigning death, the source of deliverance must have absolute power over time and eternity as well as the spirit of death. Simultaneously, the source of deliverance must possess absolute power as it concerns both mankind and deity. Furthermore, the source of deliverance must possess the absolute power of life (what the term aseity means) in both time and eternity. Finally, the source of deliverance must possess an incomprehensible love that cannot be appealed to by the deathly amalgamation of humanism and satanism thus requiring complete sacrificial outpouring of that incomprehensible love in order to conquer and terminate the absolute survivor’s dilemma of reigning death. The only source of deliverance that can qualify every measure required to conquer and terminate reigning death is the “Eternal Godhead” of God the Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and His Holy Spirit. The “Eternal Godhead” in scripture is the symbol that is used to denote the economic build up of deliverance accomplished throughout the history of mankind; from its nascent inception to its culminating consummation of the ages. It is this Divine Source of Deliverance that becomes the catalyst (for all who will accept them) to mankind becoming “Spirit Survivors”. Survivors born not of the will of mankind (humanism), but born again of the will of God the Father through His Holy Spirit (fire baptism). “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” and again, “For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.-For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.” (Another Oil Point from Theology Nation)
