Does the Bible really say a "virgin" would give birth or simply young woman?

Sandra's answer:

A "young woman" in the Hebrew Bible.
A "virgin" in the King James Bible.

But what is more important is the symbolic meaning, and a "virgin" fits perfectly, as it is a purified heart that conceives of the holy seed, giving birth to truth, which Jesus symbolizes.

What qualities/attributes did Moses have?

Sandra's answer:

Moses was the physical manifestation of the SPIRIT attribute of God. Aaron was the WORD attribute of God, which is why Aaron spoke for Moses, who was slow of speech.

"And the SPIRIT of God moved...and God SAID..."

SPIRIT and WORD
The two divine attributes of God.

What is the point in "original sin"? Quick question, the basic concept IIRC about Original sin was because of Adam and Eve's folly, to ignore YHVH's command not to eat of the fruit of the tree. Now standard christian philosophy dictates that God sent Jesus to die for our sins so that we may get to YHVH, right?

Well I can understand still having to repent for the sins of the individual - pride, sloth (ha ha ha), adultery, etc. So its' unlikely Jesus died for those sins otherwise there would be no need for repentance in the slightest, which leads me to assume he died for "the original sin". But if it was the original sin, then why do I find people still preaching about it? To that point, why ever preach about it at all? If Jesus didn't die for the original sin, then what DID he die for? More to the point, is it possible that God didn't send jesus to be sacrificed, but rather just to teach?

On that note, if Jesus and God truly are one, then it surely would have been "no biggie" that Jesus died if he was God, surely?!

Sandra's answer:

It is important to understand the symbolic meaning of Jesus.

Jesus symbolizes Truth.
Jesus (Truth) died "for" our sins, the word "for" means "because of."

Truth died because of sin; because of the iniquities of the people. (read Isaiah 53:5).

Sin is error in thought due to error in belief. The error starts in the mind, then enters the heart. Eve (symbolizing the Mind) bought into the erroneous thought, then she sold it to Adam (symbolizing the Heart).

"Original sin" is intercourse, not carnal intercourse, but spiritual intercourse, the communication of the lie (symbolized by the serpent) into the mind and heart.

Judas was chosen to represent the INIQUITY that betrays the TRUTH. (read Acts 1:19).

Everytime was validate a thought that is in error, that misses the mark (through an action that supports the belief) we betray/crucify the truth.

What is twoedged sword and why is the word of God "sharper" than any twoedged sword?

Psalms 149:6-9 (twoedged sword: purpose of LAW)
vengeance, punishments, bondage, and law judment

Proverbs 5:3-5 (result of twoedged sword from lips)
strange woman bitterness, wormwood, death, hell

Romans 2 (result of law judging others; of law vs law)
Inexcususeable & self-condemning with consequences

Hebrews 4:12 (seven things word of God: Grace is)
The word of God is... sharper than any twoedged sword.

Revelation 1:16 (describes one like Son of man)
out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword

Matthew 15:11
It's what cometh out the mouth that defiles (laws) man.

Revelation 19:15 (sharp sword: smites: law worketh wrath)
out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword... to smite... with wrath

Romans 4:15
Law worketh wrath (is destructive, not constructive)

1Thessalonians 5:9
God hath not appointed us to wrath(law)

Sandra's answer:

You've pro bably heard the expression: "It cuts both ways."
The"sword" symbolizes the "word of God," which cuts both ways.

Case in point:
"The word was made flesh."
If God's word was made flesh, so will man's word (which is perverted from God's word... read Jer. 23:36) be made flesh.

It is this (invisible type of) flesh that opposes the spirit.
That's the purpose of an invisible circumcision... to remove this sinful flesh.

" But If you be led of the Spirit you are not under the law." Gal. 5:18

The word of God (which you keep through spiritual works) will set you free. Our own word (kept through obedience to our false beliefs) will keep us in bondage, under an invisible law, through which we will continue on in the "works of the flesh." (read Gal. 5:19-21.

By Standard Christian thinking, all you have to do is accept Jesus to be saved....? What is involved in accepting Jesus? There are many people who accept Jesus and sin repeatedly or are not Christian. So are they saved also? Explain what it really means to accept Jesus. If just accepting Jesus gets you into heaven and you don't have to worry about changing and not sinning, then when you get to heaven, you will still have to worry about being raped, tortured, and more. That's why just accepting Jesus doesn't make any sense to people. It's a known fact that he exsisted. There are people that believe he is God. The prisons are loaded with people who believe this also. Is heaven going to have prisons too? I'm hoping to see some educated answers here.

Sandra's answer:

That's the problem with standard Christian thinking... It's in error!
Believe does not mean to think it in your mind, but to actualize it in your heart through spiritual works.

Jesus called them hypocrites. They say, but do not. "You come unto me with your mouth, but your heart be far from me."

It is not Jesus the man that saves, but the completion of the works that Jesus performed while he was on earth.
He did these works physically to show us what we must do spiritually to bring the soul salvation, to heal the soul.

Jesus finished HIS works, we must do the same!
"If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works..."

Jesus is telling them to believe (obey) the works!
Ask them what the works are and they will say, "there are no works." Yet salvation comes by doing the works.

"Just accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior, and you are saved." OMG!

"Jesus is God." Another frickin' lie.

No wonder no work is getting done, they don't even understand the Godhead!

What are your opinions of Mary Magdalene?
Do you think the book of Mary is a reliable gospel reference?
Do think it is plausable that she was Jesus' companion (wife)and why? Is she the Holy Grail?

Sandra's answer:

Mary Magdalene is representative of anyone that goes through the spiritual process of purification, the 7 devils cast out of Mary repesenting this purification process. Mary Magdalene became a virgin in the spiritual sense of the word. With her heart purified, she would have conceived of the holy seed (at least in the spiritual sense) within that spiritual womb or vessel that is being referred to as "The Holy Grail."

Is Jesus the phyisical manifestation of Almighty God?

Sandra's answer:

Jesus is the physical manifestion of one of the two divine attributes of God.

"And the SPIRIT of God moved... and God SAID... " Genesis 1:2,3

SPIRIT & WORD

Jesus is the manifestation of the WORD.

"Now the parable is this: the SEED is the WORD of God." Luke 8:11.

The SEED of God produced a SON. The Son is not the Father. The seed or son proceeds out of the Father.

Seems like everyone is waiting for Jesus, but what if God never sends Jesus back till Humans themselves see the value and worth of Peace. Will humans rise above organized religion and find spirituality? What will it take? How can people start believing more in themselves?

Sandra's answer:

It is actually Jesus that brings peace. Jesus symbolizes Truth. When truth is resurrected in the heart, as Jesus was resurrected in the earth, there will be peace in the heart. As we move further and further into the spiritual "era of Jacob" more and more will make the transition from religion to spirituality.

It will take a "time of trouble" to bring on this shift in consciousness... to bring on the spiritual birth.

People can start believing in themselves by understanding that are made in the image of God, that they have a spiritual power that is to be used for the purpose of internal transformation. This transformation will give them the ability to believe in themselves as they now understand that this divine spiritual power within them is of the Creator.

Why has God given us free will?

Sandra's answer:

God gave us free will because he wanted us to be different from those creations that only knew good, to wit, the tree of knowledge of good and evil, which we have all eaten from.

In the garden Adam and Eve (symbolizing the Mind and Heart) were given the word of God.

The serpent (symbolizing a word or truth that opposed God's) was introduced to Eve (the Mind). She ran with it, presented it to Adam (the Heart accepting it as truth).

The word serpent means learn by experience. God wanted us to want to choose the right thing, even setting up a spiritual law (cause and effect) in which choosing the wrong would result in a negative and/ or destructive consequence.

He wanted man to want to do good, not do good cause they were made that way, having no choice in the matter.

God wants us to be happy. He tells us how we acquire that state of being through His word. But ultimately we have to do the work that makes it a reality! That work is identifying the word of error we have chosen and replacing it with the word of truth.

How can a word create all the things that were made?

Sandra's answer:

"Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God." Luke 8:11.

"And the SPIRIT of God moved...And God SAID..."

The Spirit is the energy by which God spoke the word, which is to sow the seed, the works of creation/evolution bringing whatever word God spoke into existence.

All things are made by a seed. Even a seed of thought will make something (bringing it into our reality) through works.

the word=works. (read John 10:35-38).

If you think the Da Vinci code is true why are there so many mistakes,wrong understandings and it sometimes?

Sandra's answer:

Whether or not Mary Magdalene conceived of the holy seed and bare a daughter named Sarah should not be our focus!

We have entered what I refer to as the "third and final era of Jacob," a code associated with each era.

The Bible Code ~ The DaVinci Code ~ The Symbolic Code

Why Mary Magdalene?
Why a daughter named Sarah?

This story (fact or fiction) contains important symbolic meaning.

Is there any specific reason why 666 is the number of the beast?

Sandra's answer:

666 is not the number.

"Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." Revelation 13:18.

The true number, revealed through revelation in 1960, is a number that will lead one to a particular historical event containing symbolic meaning, bringing us an understanding of how we have received the mark of the beast.
