Simply Put

By Rev. Cletus Hansford

The author of this book makes easy reading of complex mysteries in the Bible. For instance: Adam and Eve were not the first two people on Earth. It tells why the Bible is written the way it is. It will reveal why, how, when, and where Noahs flood occurred. The Trinity is explained in its simplicity as never before. It uncovers the myth behind the Rapture conspiracy. It unveils the War in heaven, the katabole, and why one must be born from above. These and other truths are explained in this simple book.

God has blessed this author to understand the truth in the Scriptures. It is imperative in these last days that all truths be revealed. Only by knowing these truths can one stand up to the demons and antichrists of this world. If one loves God or seeks to know God, this book can open your eyes to Gods will for each of us. That is for each of us to return to that perfect place in heaven, where it all began with Him.

CHAPTER 1

Introduction

Why The Bible Is

Written The Way It Is!

T his book, the Bible, is to tell each and everyone of us; about Jesus coming into the World.

Yes, it is that simple. God writes to us in this book, about the most important thing. That He would send his son, Jesus, in the flesh; into this world.

When one reads the Bible, the first book of the Bible is Genesis. It only references to how God created everything in the first chapter. The reason He only writes one chapter of how He created the heaven and earth, and all that is in it. Is, because, that is not most important; for all of us.

Jesus coming into this world, is the most important for us.

Millions of people every year, make a New Year resolution; to read the Bible in its entirety. Most often than naught, they get bored when they come to all the begats written in Genesis. And lose interest because they seem to think it doesn’t matter.

But, this is why it is the most important to remember. For it shows a continuance of umbilical-cord to umbilical cord to the birth of Jesus. That is why God wrote the Bible in the way it is.

It shows the unbroken blood-line from God to Adam to the birth of Jesus.

One could think of it as a Family tree. It tells a story about all those involved in the blood-line of Jesus. The stories we read in the Bible, unveils the obstacles this family endured; to preserve the unbroken blood-line; to Jesus coming in the flesh.

As in all good books, we have a hero, Jesus, and his adversary; Satan. These stories written in the Bible shows the conflict between good and evil. How Satan, the serpent, the dragon, the devil, the evil one; tries to stop Jesus from coming into the world; in the flesh.

This is why the Bible is written the way it is. Simply put!

Thus the title of this book I am writing. Simply Put.

As one reads this book of mine, think first of a magician. I, for one love a magic show. I sit there and think; how did they do that? I watched a show on television one night of a magician that revealed how his tricks were done. Once I saw how he did the tricks, it seemed; so simple.

Not that I am a magician, or anyone special. But, I have been blessed by God; to see the simplicity of the scriptures.

I write this book in such a way that it is easy to understand. The way it is written is to take the seemingly complex mysteries out of the equation. And to reveal the simple truths of God’s written word, the Bible.

Once one reads these simple truths, the Bible will be easy for anyone to understand.

That is why one must first realize: Why the Bible is written the way it is.

CHAPTER 2

Two Trees of Fruit

A s one reads Genesis, there are two main trees in the Garden of Eden:

The 1st is the Tree of Life which is Jesus: Which is life.

The 2nd is the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil which is Satan: = is sin & death.

Gen 2:9

Matt 12:33

Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

Life’s choices are this simple. Eat of the tree of life, Jesus, and do good and thus will be of the good fruit, and have life everlasting with Jesus. Or, eat of the corruption and sin of life that Satan offers and experience death. Everyone eats from one of these two fruit trees.

Will one choose life with Jesus? Or, certain death through sin with Satan.

God commands Adam & Eve to partake of the Garden; But: Do not eat of the Tree of Knowledge of Good & Evil.

Genesis 3:1 Satan approaches Eve in the garden and asks her, ye shall not eat of every tree in the garden? And Eve said unto Satan, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, God hath said, ye shall not eat of it, neither touch it, lest ye die

Gen. 3:4-5

And Satan said unto Eve, ye shall not surely die. For God knows the day ye eat thereof, your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

Gen 3:6-7

And when Eve saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit, and did eat and gave also unto her husband (Adam) and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were both naked; and they sewed fig leaves together to cover their nakedness.

At this time sin entered into the world, and they, as all of us; are destined to die.

I John 2:16

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of this world.

So Jesus had to come in the flesh to overcome these sins of the world; to die on the cross (sinless) to pay the debt of sin into the world. And by His resurrection
