Thank you, Jess! (@toljamedia)
That is very encouraging. I am becoming increasingly alarmed by the serious attention given to the “transhumanism” movement that is taking over our youth cultures who are abandoning faith and moral and foundational traditions that have stabilized communities. These “self-defined progressives” are instead becoming more willing to look to atheistic humanists and science unmoored from conscience to ” enhance them” into a next “evolutionary” step which sheds humanity in favor of what they think will be “progress” and “join them to the metaverses of AI”. This is the Edenic lie of the “serpent” that was sold to Eve in the Garden of Eden: “ye shall be as gods” [Genesis 3:5b]
When mankind loses the sense that their “humanity” and “identity” is a precious gift of God, they seek to discover “self-worth” in whatever concept they “feel” would make them “better than they are”.
Fellowship with God is the only viable and authentic option to finding our fulfillment for this need. Still, Satan sends them down the opposite path for them to seek validation by any other means than discovering the love and redemption found in Christ Jesus and what He accomplished on the Cross of Calvary.
God chose to bring redemption through humanity alone. This is why even the angels (other sentient beings in God’s creation) “long to look into these things.” [1 Peter 1:12]
Satan feared the virgin birth prophecy of the “seed of woman” that would crush his head so much that he had to adulterate the human race by the Genesis 6 corruption attempt resulting in Nephalim and their progeny that God used a Flood and the descendants of Israel to eradicate. The ultimate fate of those fallen “angels” involved in that nefarious “corruption attempt”, is described in Jude 1:8.
Revelations 12:17 says:
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
If like Esau, modern humans who abandon faith in God can be convinced to trade their “birthright” for a steaming cup of soup offered by yet another deceiver (who will never submit themselves to God, as Jacob later did), they will seal their doom beyond the hope of redemption. Jesus’ death is meant only for the descendants of Adam and Eve bearing human blood, redeemed by the spilling of His precious blood on our life account. Jesus did not die for animals or hybrids or angels. His incarnation and subsequent journey to the Cross was for the purpose of redeeming humanity. The world at large including every creature and plant placed under the dominion of mankind was subjected to humanity’s curse and eagerly awaits it to be lifted from those who have become the sons and daughters of God, made possible by our redemption through Christ.
For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected [it] in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Not only [that], but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. [Romans 8:19-23 NKJV]
