Metaphysical Bible Study

Hello Everyone,

My trip to Maine is almost over. It has been wonderful. The majesty of God can be seen everyday in the beauty of this coast.

We will begin our journey home this Saturday.

This morning I was reading the Odes of Solomon and I wanted to share with you some of my insights into Ode 19. I will begin by publishing it for you.

Ode 19

1. A cup of milk was offered to me: and I drank it in the sweetness of the delight of the Lord.
2. The Son is the cup, and He who was milked is the Father:
3. And the Holy Spirit milked Him: because His breasts were full, and it was necessary for Him that His milk should be sufficiently released;
4. And the Holy Spirit opened His bosom and mingled the milk from the two breasts of the Father; and gave the mixture to the world without their knowing:
5. And they who received in its fullness are the ones on the right hand.
6. The Spirit opened the womb of the Virgin and she received conception and brought forth; and the Virgin became a Mother with many mercies;
7. And she travailed and brought forth a Son, without incurring pain;
8. And because she was not sufficiently prepared, and she had not sought a midwife (for He brought her to bear) she brought forth as if she were a man, of her own will;
9. And she brought Him forth openly, and carried Him with great dignity,
10. And loved Him in His swaddling clothes and guarded Him kindly, and showed Him in Majesty. Hallelujah.

This is a very beautiful Ode and full of great wisdom on the Love of God.

Read it over again and let the hidden mysteries unfold in your spirit.

The Love of God

In John 3:16-17 it says,

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.  Fo God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”

For God so loved the world…

Ode 19 speaks of a cup of milk that was offered to him and that he drank in the delight of the Lord.  This milk is the life of God, Eternal Life… the Ascension.  The Son is the cup and He who was milked is the Father.

Jesus came to bring us this Life… this freedom from the human condition so that we could be born into His Kingdom which is the Kingdom of Light.  This great freedom is about more than heaven and hell.  This new Life is about living through grace in the realms of Light.  It is about supernatural life being expressed here on the earth.

Verse 3 tells us that the Holy Spirit milked the Father because His breasts were so full. Full of what… love for the world.  “God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten son.”

Most of us have had an experience of love that is akin to the above experience. It was certainly not about the whole world but it was an overwhelming feeling of love for a person, maybe your child, that was so full it had to be released.

The Light Came Into The World

The Bible tells us that the Light came into the world and the world did not know it.  This is reflected in verse 4.  The Light of our salvation or freedom from the bondage of the natural world, carnal world or limitation of the human condition.

Don’t get caught up in old religious beliefs.  This is not what you learned in Sunday School.  It is far greater than what most people understand.  This is about being birthed into Divinity.

Jesus was the only begotten of God.  But he is also the first born of many.  We are to be translated from the kingdom of darkness into the Divine Light. We are born again not as a “better human” but as a Divine Being able to do all the things that Jesus demonstrated while on earth.

How To Acquire A Body Of Light

Look now at Ode 21

Ode 21

1. My arms I lifted up to the Most High, even to the grace of the Lord: because He had cast off my bonds from me: and my Helper had lifted me up to His grace and to His salvation:
2. An I put off darkness and clothed myself with light,
3. And my soul acquired a body free from sorrow or affliction or pains.
4. And increasingly helpful to me was the thought of the Lord, and His fellowship in incorruption:
5. And I was lifted up in His light; and I served before Him,
6. And I became near to Him, praising and confessing Him;
7. My heart ran over and was found in my mouth: and it arose upon my lips; and the exultation of the Lord increased on my face, and His praise likewise. Hallelujah.

It is ALL About God and What He Has Already Done For Us

Notice that is verse 1 Solomon of the Odes makes a reference to the fact that it is the Lord that has cast off his bonds and the Helper, which is the Holy Spirit (or I AM Presence) has lifted him up to His grace and His salvation.

It is God who has done the work of setting us free.  The karma has been paid. The bondage broken. Everything we need for the abundant life has already been created.

The Bible states that salvation is through grace and not works.  You can not do enough to separate yourself from the human condition.  You can learn to improve your life in the human condition. But to step into Divinity… Bible Ascension, you must depend totally on the finished works of the Great I AM!

You Must Reach Out In Faith To Access ALL the Blessings!

In verse 2, Solomon of the Odes tells us what is our part to do.

“And I put off darkenss and clothed myself with light.”

We have to do the work of pushing away the old way of being and attracting to ourselves the new way. We have to stop thinking the natural thoughts and start thinking like God thinks.  We have to use our faith to hang on to the promise of an abundant life even in the midst of the greatest darkness we have ever experienced.  We must KNOW that what we have asked for in faith is already ours… even if we can not see it yet.

In verse 4 Solomon of the Odes declares that, “Increasingly helpful to me was the thought of the Lord, and His fellowship in incorruption.”   This statement is in line with the Biblical teaching of being spiritually minded.

“For to be carnally minded (naturally minded, worldly minded, thinking as a human being stuck in the human condition) is death, but to be spiritually minded is life (eternal life, the life of God in you) and peace (nothing missing, nothing broken).

Spend your time thinking about heavenly things which includes the Divine Life that God has designed for you.  See the answers to your problems not the problems themselves.  Focus on the Promises of God not the difficult situations you may be experiencing. Don’t think about poverty, sickness or death; instead think about abundance, health, love, life and living in the supernatural realms.

Even though Love has made the way, you must choose to focus your attention and thoughts on the solutions God has promised. No one can control your thoughts for you. No one can decide what you will believe.  This you must do!

I encourage you to read the Odes of Solomon often. Meditate on the words of this sacred scripture. Let the truth it reveals transform your consciousness and allow the Light of Christ to shine through you.

Be blessed,

Marty Dow

Good Morning!

Several folks have asked me questions about what happens when we die and will there be a day of judgment.  They want to know if some of the teachings that they learned as a child were true.

As you already know, if you have been reading the Bible Ascension Blog, I do not believe that salvation is only about heaven and hell. I believe that salvation is about being born into a new species of Divine Supernatural Beings of Light… immortal beings who look and act as Jesus did.

Jesus said that he was the first born of many.  When we are “saved” we are born into this new kingdom and we begin the process of becoming… maturing into this new species.

As I have written earlier, the gift of the Holy Spirit was the ultimate purpose of the death and resurrection of Jesus.  By paying the penalty for our karma and cleansing us of the old negative energies we are prepared to receive the Holy Spirit.

It is the Holy Spirit that brings us into this new birth.

The new birth is the birth of the children of God.  We are no longer children of Adam living in the human condition. We have been translated from the kingdom of darkness… or separation from God, into the kingdom of the Son… the Christ.

We are saved from the human condition with all of its limitations and born into the Divine freedom that we have in Christ.

Questions on Heaven and Hell

I don’t spend much time thinking about heaven and hell in the traditional sense.  So it is hard for me to answer the questions I have received.  I don’t have a revelation on these topics.  I have opinions but my opinions are not any more important than anyone else’s opinion.

I promised you when I began this blog that I would always tell you the truth as I understood it.  I also promised that if I got a new revelation on something that I had been teaching, I would tell you about that too.

Praying For Revelation

I have been praying for insight into the day of Judgment, the Rapture and other end time prophecies so that I could add something of value to the way these events are interpreted.

I did not get any revelation on the meaning of these events that are spoken of in the Bible.  I could share with you what tradition folks believe or what many metaphysical teachers have to say about these topics.  But I did not hear any new revelation from the Spirit on these areas of interest.

My Answer

Here is what I did get.  A few days ago I picked up the Bible and it opened to the book Philippians.  I noticed that I had underlined some passages so I read them.  I chuckled to myself because I knew that this was the answer the Holy Spirit was giving to me about my questions and it was what I needed to share with you.

This is from a letter that Paul wrote to the church in Philippi.

Phillipians 3:10 – 21

“I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.

Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.

But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead. I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained.

Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you.

For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things.

But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.”

The Message

This reminded me that what was most important was the effort to attain the “prize of the high calling.”  Paul was not yet perfect. But he knew what his goal was. He challenged his readers to keep their eyes on the heavenly things and not on the earth.  He teaches us not to be like those that have their mind on the earthly… the way that leads to destruction.

He also says that if you see things differently or if you have questions about what you read (my addition to Paul’s words), God will make it clear to you.

He encourages us to live up to what we already know.  This says to me that we should not get lost in what we are confused about but instead to go after what we do understand.

For me the most important thing is to focus on the new birth… living as a Christed being.  I want to keep my eyes on the high calling and not get lost in the confusion of those things I do not understand.

Yesterday, while I was driving around town I saw a church sign.  It said, ” Jesus did not come to give us religion but to give us Life!”

That is so true.  Many of the ideas we spend so much time contemplating and arguing about are the issues of religion.  I suggest that we all turn our attention to the Life we have in Christ.  Focus on what you know.  Focus on the spiritual realms and not on the earthly arguments about religion.

If you have a burning question, pray and God will answer you.

Be blessed,

Marty Dow

Sorry I have not yet created the audio I promised. I have been very busy with travel and I am also creating a new site.  I can’t wait to share the new site with you but it is not quite ready for an unveiling.  However, I did want to continue our discussion on questions readers have sent to me.

Here is another question sent in by a fellow Bible Ascension Blog reader

Question

Following up with the question about salvation. So do you believe that those who don’t confess the name of Jesus as Lord and savior are not going to heaven and don’t have the in-dwelling spirit of God?

Answer

Remember, it is not so much what I believe but what you believe.  I told you in my last post that I had decided to believe the Bible instead of things that I learned from other sources. It is my choice to choose those things that I believe and the Bible is what I have chosen to believe.

So to answer this question, lets look at what Jesus said concerning salvation in the scriptures.

Just a quick reminder… salvation is much more than escaping hell and getting to heaven.  What we are describing on this Bible Ascension blog is about a new birth into a new species of beings… Divine beings birthed into the kingdom of God.

Read the scriptures with this image in mind and some of the old fears and resistance to the scriptures on salvation will be washed away.

Jesus as the Bread of Life

I personally love the gospel of John, so lets look there.

In John 6, Jesus describes himself as the Bread of Life.   Starting in verse 27 he tells his listeners not to “labor for food which perishes but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.”

Everlasting life is not chronological time… it is the very life of God that is birth into the new species of Divine Beings.

When the Jews asked him how they could do the works of God he answered, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” Vs 29

In verse 33 Jesus tells us “For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”  In verse 35 he says, “I am the bread of life.”

Verse 40, “And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who see the son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

Verse 47 -48, “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life. I am the bread of life.”

Verse 50-51, “This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”

So in these verses Jesus is making the claim that he is the bread of life, that he will give his flesh or body for the life of the world and that he came from heaven to do the Will of God which is to give those that believe in him everlasting life.

Believing On the Son Brings Everlasting Life

In chapter 3 of John Jesus makes very similar statements about who he is and why he came to earth.  This a great chapter to study more on the new birth. But for our conversation to day, lets look at John 3:16-19.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.  He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. ”

A New Species of Supernatural Beings of Light

So what does all this mean.  I believe that the Bible is clear that Jesus is the incarnation of the Christ–the only begotten son of God. Christ took on the form of a man in order to complete a mission that began before the foundation of the earth. This mission was to redeem us from the curse of the human condition and translate us into a new species as members of the kingdom of heaven/or God.

When Jesus says that the one who does not believe is condemned already, I believe that he is referring to the curse. All human beings are already operating under the curse. If you reject being redeemed from the curse of the human condition, you are still cursed.

What Is Condemnation?

In verse 19, Jesus describes the condemnation. “And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.”  The light comes into the world but it is rejected because people prefer to believe the dark thoughts produced by the world beliefs.

Even many of the Jews who studied the ancient scriptures did not recognize who Jesus was when they met him. In John 5: 38-40 Jesus tells his listeners, “But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe. You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.”

The New Believer

Jesus describes what a new believer will look like in Mark 16:15-18.  Go read this for yourself. It describes a supernatural race of beings that have the ability to heal the sick, speak in tongues, drink poison with no ill effect, and to handle deadly snakes with no negative consequences.

It is obvious to me that these folks have stepped out of the human condition of struggle and fear into a supernatural ability to overcome the effects of the curse… not just for themselves but for others too!

The Holy Grail Is The Holy Spirit

As for the question of the in dwelling Spirit of God, let me refer you to Galatians 3:13-14.

“Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree), That the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”

The in dwelling of the Spirit is the Holy Grail.  It is the thing that Jesus came to give to us. The in dwelling of the Spirit is what takes us from the human condition into this new species. The Bible refers to the Holy Spirit as a deposit or guarantee of salvation  until the transformation is complete.

The natural human being is created in the image of God.  This image is extremely powerful. Human beings have great creative power because we were created in God’s image.  The Bible does not say that human beings were born of God.

Christ The Only Begotten

Christ is a part of the God Head. Christ was the only begotten Son of God because all other species were created not begotten.  Christ was birthed out of the Spirit of God. Adam was created with many of the attributes of God. Adam was not born neither were the angels.

This new species of Divine beings are birthed through faith into the family of God, as children of God… not born through natural means but through faith in the finished work of the Christ, incarnated as Jesus.

It is the gift of the Holy Spirit that enables this new birth to occur and empowers the believer with supernatural force.

The Holy Spirit has always been visible on the earth, teaching, guiding the children of men.  However, the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit comes through the work that Jesus completed in His ministry on earth.  Without this work we would never be able to transformed into this new species.

Humanity Is The Root Stock

The amazing thing to me is that the human condition is the root stock out of which this new species is being created. It is a blending of the human species with the Divine. The Divine seed is the Holy Spirit being birth into the root stock of the created, fallen human being.

The work of Jesus was to cleanse us of our karmic debt making it possible to be transformed by something as holy as the Holy Spirit.  Without that cleansing power of the blood of Jesus, a human being would have been killed — destroyed by the power and purity of God’s Spirit.

The power of the purity of the Spirit is demonstrated many times in the old testament.  Specifically, you can see this in the rituals of protection taken by the high priest of the Temple.   More on this at another time.

After the resurrection, the Bible describes Jesus as being the first born of many.  Born into what… this new species. Jesus was the first born into this new species.

Christ had to incarnate into the root stock of humanity and pay the karmic debt as a human being. Then through the power of the Holy Spirit, Jesus, the man, was born into this new species making it possible for others to follow through the power of faith.

Faith in what?  Faith in the work that Jesus had accomplished on earth… through the cross, the resurrection, and the ascension.

The Real Question Here

If the questioner is at all like I was in my journey to understand the meaning of the Bible message, the real question is “What about those who are not Christians?  Are they separated from God?  Are they without the spirit of God?”

This is a great question and I will answer it in the next post.

In His Glory,

Marty Dow

My most recent post on salvation has generated many questions. I can not answer them all at once but I will answer them all in time.

Hot Topics

For those of us that have been “religiously wounded” by our early church experiences, the questions on the meaning and method of salvation and the reality of heaven and hell generates a lot of emotional responses. These concepts often draw a line demarcation  between the traditional christian and the metaphysical and/or alternative seeker. It sets up a litmus test of sorts that determines if you are “with us or against us.”

These questions are so foundational to our belief systems that many people feel that their view is completely correct and every other perspective is completely wrong.  Unfortunately, the strength of these responses can often cause us to step out of love and into separation, conflict and judgment.

In addition, especially for the religiously wounded seeker, pondering these questions can cause a great deal of confusion and fear. I know because that is how I often felt when trying to sort out the truth from all the things I once believed.

I Don’t Have All The Answers

I know that is an unusual statement to hear from a spiritual/Bible teacher but it is true. I still have a lot of unanswered questions about things I see in the Bible.

Fortunately, I am not feeling quite as confused as I used to feel when I was directed by God to return to the church and learn more about the Bible.  Those were very difficult times for me. I had so many conflicting ideas swirling around in my head that I sometimes felt my mind was going to explode!

I have said in the past that if you are looking for someone who claims to have all the answers you have come to the wrong teacher. I do not have all the answers in a neat little package to share with you.  Besides it is not really about what I believe to be true. It is more about what you believe and the process you go through to discover the truth for yourself.

Very smart people disagree on the meaning of Bible “Truths”.  Even people who attend the same church often have conflicting beliefs with fellow church members and the pastor.  No one has the whole truth. We are not there yet… but I believe that we live in a time when the Holy Spirit is revealing greater and greater truths to those who are ready to receive them.

The Truth As I Understand It

On this blog, I am sharing the revelations I have received about Jesus, the new birth and the hidden mysteries of the Bible which I call Bible Ascension. It is the truth as I have come to understand it.

I hold these truths with an open hand awaiting the Lord to reveal even greater revelations to me. I have learned that if I hold on to previous ideas and beliefs too tightly, I will either miss a new and deeper understanding or God will have to blow the old one out of my hand in order for me to receive the new.  I can honestly report to you that the second alternative is no fun at all!

Take what I share with you on this site and use it to evaluate what you think you know and believe.

Study the Bible with an open mind looking for new and deeper revelations of what God’s plan is for you and for the ages to come.

Pray for the spirit of wisdom and revelation knowledge to reveal these hidden mysteries to you.

Trust that God wants you to know the truth and that the Holy Spirit is guiding you right now.

Know that God loves you and wants to bless you with every good and perfect thing.

Believe that the truth is available to you and that it is the Spirit within that reveals it to you.

Measure what you once believed, what you hear from me and/or other teachers, and what you read in the Bible by the still small voice of God speaking in your heart.

A Suggested Technique

Before I go I want to give you one technique that helped me when I felt so confused as I worked through some of the old beliefs I learned at as child.

During those times I would make a list of what I KNEW to be true. Then I would stand on those beliefs until I gained more clarity and my confusion past. The list became to me a place of mental safety and peace in the eye of the storm.

Here are a few of the foundational beliefs found on my lists:

God is love.

God’s mercies endure forever and ever.

God does not want me to be afraid.

It is God’s will for all to be saved.

Give this technique a try when you are working through conflicting beliefs and feel confused.

An Upcoming Audio Clip

I am planning to create an audio clip around the questions sent to me on heaven, hell, salvation, and the Spirit.  Hopefully, I will have it up by next week.

I enjoy your questions and comments. Keep them coming.

Be blessed,

Marty Dow

Here is question from a reader on Salvation in and through Jesus along with my answer.

Question

I’m new to your site and a little confused. My main question is, do you believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins and it is only through His salvation that we are saved?

Answer

Thanks for your question.

Yes, I believe in Jesus and I also believe that we are saved through him.  However, I believe that salvation is much greater than what I learned as a child. It is so much more than escaping hell or getting a ticket to heaven… although these are great things.  Salvation is a birth into a new species.  We are no longer human beings struggling through the human condition.

In Christ we are born again… born of His flesh and bone.  We are now Divine beings filled with His life, which is eternal life (deathless life not chronological time), and His Spirit.  Natural human beings are born of the first Adam with all of Adam’s limitations.  The born again Christian (disciple of Jesus) is born of the second Adam.  The first Adam was a man.

The second Adam is God/Christ incarnated in flesh to pay the penalty of sin (separation from God and all the acts that come out of that state)(or for the metaphysical student… the karmic debt), destroy Lucifer (the fallen angel that caused the earth to be in chaos as recorded in Genesis 2) and his work (the curse which resulted from his rebellion, fall and the cosmic war he began), and to birth a new species of heavenly beings who live on the earth.  Remember, the Bible teaches that Christ is returning to earth to rule and He is bringing heaven (the new Jerusalem) with Him.

We are to express heaven on earth now in preparation for His return and the beginning of the Ages to Come.  We are to grow into this new state of being until we are filled with His Glory… “The whole earth groans for the birth of the Sons of God!”

There are two things you should know about my site:

1. It is written for folks who come from a metaphysical or alternative spiritual path, not the traditional Christian.  I am using language and imagery that are quite familiar to these folks but may be confusing to a traditional Christian.  This could be compared to Paul in Athens talking to the Greeks about the Unknown God to whom they had created a statue.  So this language may be the cause of some of your confusion.  All people are welcome to visit my site but not all will feel connected to my language or even my message.
2. Secondly, my message is different than what you will hear in many churches.  My emphasis is not on heaven and hell but on living in the fullness of Spirit in our physical forms right here and right now.  Many churches do not emphasis living and striving for the “perfect man” while on earth. Many feel that most of our transformation will happen in heaven or when Jesus returns.  I believe that we were meant to live supernatural lives now, in a physical form. I believe that if the life of Christ dwells in me than that deathless life will transform me now so that when the Lord returns I will look just like Him.  My potential for growing up into him is activated by my faith in the promise of letting the spirit flow completely through me.    By faith, I died (to the human condition born of the first Adam) with Christ so that Christ (the supernatural Second Adam) can live in me NOW!  He can express completely and fully through me NOW! We are in preparation for the Ages To Come! And things are about to change very soon.

So you may or may not feel comfortable with the language or the message.  You are welcome to study with us but I understand if this is not for you. I trust that the Spirit will guide each of us to wherever we can grow.  Follow your heart, trust in the Lord and you will find your perfect place.

I hope that even if we disagree on the emphasis of the Gospel, we can agree to disagree in love.  Love is the only commandment that Jesus left for us to follow.  Love perfects us in Him!

In His Glory,

Marty Dow
