In Genesis 1:3, God has created our spirit as light. In verse 27, God created souls of both man and woman in "his own image, ...; male and female created he them." So, our souls are the same as the souls of God. They were created for both male and female. God created our body from the dust, as in Genesis 2:7, and from the bone as in verses 21&22, and joined the bodies to the souls, and souls became man and woman. verse7 also says, God breathed the spirit also into the created man, and the man became a living soul. So, the spirit is the life to the soul, as the blood is life to the flesh body. So, if the Spirit is with the soul, it is a living soul. Adam sinned; lost the spirit; and so, his soul was dead. Because of Adam's sin, we all are born without spirit as dead souls. So, we must be born again in Spirit to have eternal life. If you like to study the details, please use this link: "Soul & Spirit."
Let us consider the garden of Eden, which is garden of God, as a church for our study. "Genesis 2:15 says, And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it." So, Adam was supposed to be the keeper to the garden of God. It is similar to the position of a church pastor. One day, Adam was not to be found there. It is common that pastors do not do their God given job. Satan sneaked in and taught the word of God to Eve. "Genesis 3:1 ...Satan, said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" Satan taught her and convinced her that they can become as gods, knowing good and evil, if they disobey God and eat the fruit of the tree. Satan said this to Eve in "Genesis 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." It could not have been a surprise to Adam, because God already told Adam about the tree, that it will give the knowledge of good and evil. Satan is telling the same thing even now to the churches. So, Adam and Eve eat the fruit that God told them not to eat. So, their Spirit was dead as God said. That was, the glory that was covering them left them; and so, they saw their nakedness. In another words, their Spirit body was dead and gone, which was their covering of glory was removed; so, they became naked, and God drove them out of the garden of Eden, into the world from where the dust of their body was taken. In Genesis 3:17-19 God says, "17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return." Now there was no more free quality fruits as much as they wanted to eat and enjoy, and they were driven out from the paradise, which was the garden of God, to the earth. In church language, we may say that they are cast out from the "Spirit Church" to churches in religious world. That is, all of them that have the intention not to obey God, are cast out of the Spirit Church into the world churches. Their bible studies are very subtle, it is to disobey God but to celebrate him as Lord, by tradition, ceremonies, and rituals with music, entertainment, fun, and worldly love. Their doctrine is based on, not to obey God, and to receive his unconditional love; but they do not even know that their god is Satan, he has no love to souls, he is another Jesus, according to the bible.
Adam and Eve were driven out from the garden of God to the cursed ground of thorns and thistles, because they did not obey God. What is the present sin of people against God? It is the same thing; not to obey God, thinking that they know what is good and evil; and God must not tell them. God says in "Deuteronomy 1:39 ... people... had no knowledge between good and evil, ..." They think they know, but they never had discernment between good and evil; they never had Spiritual knowledge; and their knowledge is of the flesh. "Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!" People are wise in their own eyes; but they are in darkness and not in light. It is exactly happening in the churches. They have no discernment between good and evil, and so, they call all the false preachers as good, and the doctrine of men as the word of God. The sin of Adam and Eve still continues, and Christians in the churches continues to do them. Your church may be in ritual worship, but not in obedience to God, thinking that God loves us anyway. Jesus and apostles never called for worship services and offerings, but they require obedience. We must obey what Jesus Christ tells us to do; Jesus Christ never told us to sing songs composed by our people; those songs are all flatteries and lies, but they will scratch your itching spots of emotion with attractive music, and they will give you goose bumps. Those songs are not inspired by God, but they are lying comforts, made to deceive you. The worship God requires is not ceremonial and ritual performance, but must be in truth and Spirit, obeying God in doing what he tells us to do. Worship is what you do in obeying God, but not a performance that people like, and to give money. Do you know that you cannot give money or anything else to God? How will you see him to handover something to him? Deceivers plunder you using the name of God, flatter you on your face, and ridicule you for your foolishness on your back. They become rich by making a fool out of you. And you are happy and think that you gave money to God, by making the workers of the devil rich. Only way to give anything to God, is by giving them to the poor people who obey God. It is in "Matthew 25:40. It says, ... Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." They are poor people; they will not build universities, prayer towers, and do big church projects; they stay poor.
We accept Abraham as the father of faith; and God blessed him. "Genesis 22:16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: 17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; 18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. Genesis 26:4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; 5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws." God accepted Abraham because of his obedience. How did Abraham obey God? It is in the old testament. At that time God was accepting blood sacrifices for worship; yet he never required human blood sacrifice. But he told Abraham to sacrifice his own son Isaac to give him as sacrifice. Abraham even obeyed. When he was about to kill his own son, God stopped him and blessed him. But now a days, when we say obedience, we refer to simple things. And yet, we argue that God does not require us to obey but only to love him. But Jesus Christ says, in "John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments." But preachers have convinced Christians that Jesus was just joking, but he does not mean that we obey. We can just love him without obeying him; as we love our children and dogs; we kiss them; give things to them; so also, give a little more money in the church offering plate, sing a song, and pray a prayer; and God will accept them as your love. Is it how to love God? No! but it is how the church requires us to love God by giving plenty of money to churches and preachers. Christians also consider this as loving God.
Let us see another incident. Samuel was the prophet and Saul was the king to Israel. Samuel came to Saul and gives him the message of God. "1 Samuel 15:3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass." The instruction was to destroy everything, people, and all animals. King Saul went to war with Amalek. "8 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword. 9 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly." King Saul went to war, destroyed them, but did not kill the king and the best animal, and he kept them. In that he did not obey God. It was partial obedience. Prophet Samuel asked him why. "15 And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed." King Saul said that people kept them to sacrifice them to the Lord. To our common sense, it is reasonable; but to God it was disobedience. "22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,. 23.. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king." King Saul did not obey God, he did not even repent, but justified saying that the people has done it; but he was rejected from being king, and God was very particular and meticulous in observing obedience. Now Christians play game with God in obedience. But God is very serious about our obedience to him.
Let us see the new testament. "John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. ... 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." Those who love God will obey his commandments. God will abide in them. But God has rejected those, who love the worship services, enjoy the entertainment and big offerings, because they love the world and its glamour, but not God. "Romans 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? 17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you." The word of God is cut and right. But the devil and his servants are bluffers. I have heard that preachers say after reading this verse that, "this is work salvation, it is of the devil, and we don't want it, and so, reject it and get it out." These stupid, evil sons of Satan the devil, and cursed servants of darkness, are rejecting the word of God, which is the advice for salvation, calling it as no good because it requires us to obey? What have Satan and his servants dare to become? Are they above God? God is for righteousness, and salvation is by obeying God. All disobedience to God is sin and they are unrighteousness. To whom so ever you obey, his servant you are. If you commit sin, which is disobeying God, you are a servant to Satan. Every church that finds any reason and justifies disobeying God, is of Satan. And they all are worshipping Satan, calling him God, and he is another Jesus. They will all die an eternal death and be doomed in the lake of fire forever.
"Romans 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?" What is the gospel of peace? 1 Peter 5:14 says, "Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen." If you are in Christ Jesus, you will have peace. If you are outside of Jesus Christ; that is, if you do not obey him, you will have no peace, but you will be in "weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth." The Lord Jesus Christ will punish you for not obeying him. "2 Thessalonians 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day." Many Christians laugh at these scriptures and on them who bring these scriptures to them. On that day, they will not laugh. "John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil." The light is the Lord Jesus Christ, and darkness is the deception of Satan and his servants. Those who love evil, neither will obey the Lord Jesus Christ, nor will come to him, since he is light. "20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." Those who do good will come to him. "1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." Those who love God are those who obey him. God has prepared marvelous, splendid things for them; they cannot be even explained in human language; it is all pure glory and are in heaven. This pure glory comes with the presence of God. The obedient will be in the glory. Do you obey God? Or do you go behind the worship performances, big offerings, excellent enticing speeches and such? Quit sins and obey God.

Matthew 28:20, & Mark 16:15. Jesus Christ preached his commandments to obey, as his
Gospel; it is the true Gospel to inherit Eternal life. Genesis 3:1-4 & 2 Corinth 11:2-4. But Preachers, who are Serpents of Satan, preach the life of man Jesus just to believe, but not to live as a chaste virgin, as the gospel; it is another gospel, which cannot and will not give Eternal life.The true gospel will convert evil people to do good and thereby they will inherit the kingdom in heaven.
John 3:19-21 say that people are two kinds, evil and true. Evil doers will not come to the Light, who is God; but people of truth come to God for their deeds to be made manifest. We have good and evil people by our standard of our society or culture. These evil people may be converted to be doers of truth by the power of God, and they may inherit the kingdom of God in heaven.
