The Human FallPart 2

How was it possible for Humankind to fall ?

A failure of:

God’s responsibility = design fault?

OR - Human responsibility

1. Love – source of life and joy

2. God wants a dominion of love over perfected human beings

No unprincipled relationship possible

Freedom of the original mind not ‘licence’ – true freedom:

1. Follows the Principle (law of love)

God keeps his own laws 2.Requires responsibility - fulfill

my responsibility 3.Seeks to accomplish the

purpose of creation and bring joy to God

True freedom did not cause the Fall

1. God would not violate his perfect Principle

► During the period of indirect dominion God could not intervene in what was human responsibility

God Could Not Intervene in the Fall

1. God would not violate his perfect Principle

2. Would not give recognition to evil - unprincipled action (that God alone be the creator)

3. So that human beings can be qualified to have dominion

► Co-creator ► Complete the creation of God

God Could Not Intervene in the Fall

False LifeFalse Lineage

When Adam and Eve fell, They formed a four position foundation under Satan not God and thus all humanity came to belong to Satan’s lineage.

God is Suffering

The Fall represents a complete violation of the three Blessings:

But The Three Blessings had already been given to Humankind – so they have been realised centred on Satan,not on God

The Four Fallen NaturesAs a result of the fall Eve and then Adam inherited the fallen natures from the Archangel - these have become the root cause of the fallen inclinations of all people.
