Romans 8:20...For the creature was made subject to vanity not willingly, but by reason of Him who hath subjected the same in hope. 21..Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. The creature, mankind, was made subject to vanity, not willingly. If we can see in Genesis, Adam, the man, as spirit; and Eve, the woman, as the soul of man; they were separated in the Garden of Eden. The soul of man was made independent of the spirit, which is in perfect harmony with the Spirit of God. The soul partook of the "fruit" of the KNOWLEDGE of the tree of good and evil. Where is "knowledge"? It is in our minds! This was the beginning of the "carnal mind". The sin conscious mind. Romans 8: 6...for to be carnally minded(sin conscious) is death; but to be spiritually minded(righteous minded) is life and peace. 7...Because the carnal mind(sin conscious mind) is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. "The LAW of God; Romans 8:2...For the LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS hath made me free from the "law of sin (consciousness) and death. God sent His own Son and condemned sin(consciousness) in the flesh: that the Righteousness of the LAW of God( the LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS be fulfilled in us! How AWESOME! He told us that as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God! We have the mind of Christ! When we are "KNOWING" with the mind of Christ, and being led by the Spirit of God, we are no more "sin conscious", but we are God conscious, or Righteous conscious!! No more good and evil! No more night or day! No more honorable or dishonorable vessels in God's house! Ephesians 2:14-16...For He is our peace, who, hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having ABOLISHED IN HIS FLESH THE ENMITY, EVEN THE LAWS OF COMMANDMENTS, CONTAINED IN ORDINANCES (which made us sin conscious) ; FOR TO MAKE IN HIMSELF OF TWAIN ONE NEW MAN, SO MAKING PEACE; AND THAT HE MIGHT RECONCILE BOTH UNTO GOD IN ONE BODY BY THE CROSS, HAVING SLAIN THE ENMITY THEREBY!! The spirit and soul have made one by Him! No more duality! Eve has been restored to Adam! and now both are consumed in HIM!! MAN AND GOD ARE NOW ONE!!! REMEMBER KNOWLEDGE CAN BE A DANGEROUS THING UNLESS IT IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD!!! He told us that knowledge puffs us up and gives us vain imaginations. BUT EPHESIANS 2:17... THAT THE GOD OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE FATHER OF GLORY, MAY GIVE UNTO YOU THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND REVELATION IN THE "KNOWLEDGE" OF HIM!!!!! THIS IS THE ONLY KNOWLEDGE THAT WE NEED!! JESUS KNEW THE FATHER!! BECAUSE HE WAS ONE WITH HIM! NOW WE ARE KNOWING THE FATHER, BECAUSE WE ARE KNOWING THAT WE ARE ONE WITH HIM!!!
