Chapter 1:  The Sin of Eternal Zillion

          1.  Sin is like spiritual soot.  It is described as the shadows of darkness and the blackness of space.  These are used as metaphors to describe something that surpasses the ordinary language of Reformed theologians.  Sin surpasses the greatest of numbers.  Numbers are always continence because it is their nature.  Sin by nature is eternal.  This is the way we describe sin.  We say it is eternal because hell is eternal.  Those who merit for themselves a scheme to enter the place of heaven will spend eternity in the place of hell.  Hell is eternal in the sense that it goes on forevermore.  Yet the place of hell was not self-existent.  It did not always exist because only a holy Triune God bears the nature of aseity (eternal self-existence).  In this sense, sin is not eternal because it does not bear the nature of aseity. 

2.  There is One who bears the nature of aseity: namely, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (one in nature three in person).  Heaven is a place where every stain of sin was been covered by the Lamb’s blood.  Those who do not have their sins covered by the Lamb of God will suffer for their own sins throughout eternity (forever).  It is true that hell and heaven were created because no created thing is by nature of aseity.  Does this mean before evil there was no justice?  By no means!  A holy Triune God always carried within His Being justice, mercy and truth.  He chose to use damned people as trophies of His ultimate justice but elect people as trophies of His ultimate mercy.  This makes it clear that what the good of Scripture teaches is the manifestation of God’s holy character in His attributes of wrath and mercy grounded in everlasting truth. 

3.  A good God would create all things without being the Author of sin, confusion and evil.  What would a good God do if He allowed evil in His creation?  It is no doubt to establish ultimate justice in the superior realm of things or to establish mercy in the highest realm of things.  A holy God has decided to exercise both justice and mercy in the ultimate biblical understanding.  Does a good God judge His people in chastening without eternal condemnation?  By all means!  Yet He also judges reprobates unto outer darkness unto everlasting damnation.  Hell is forever but it did have the power to self-existent but a holy God created the place of hell for the good of His ultimate justice.  To the reprobate it is a horror but based on this fallen sinners seek to scheme their way out of the place of hell without basing it on God’s own terms.  If the scheme to escape the place of hell is without sole precedence of His own terms, it is the crux of hopelessness.  The Father of lights has made it clear “This is My well-beloved Son; listen to Him.”  The eternal Son is the only way to spiritual salvation because there is no other Name given among men whereby they must be saved.  The emphasis is upon the unified work of Jesus Christ (Incarnate Deity) to be the sole grounds of salvation for justification by faith alone (how someone is right with a holy God).

4.  Sin is like the blackness of the sea.  It is actually beyond the blackness of the sea.  The God-breathed Gospels record the lisping of God concerning fire, darkness and gnashing of teeth in the place of hell.  It is true that to suffer the fate of death by fire is surely terrible and beyond words.  Yet there is a flame in the place of hell but this is even surpassed in the biblical meaning of the perpetuity of etymological language of Scripture.  Fire is used to describe God’s presence because He is a consuming fire by nature.  Yet we must not worship fire as if it was a holy God.  It pictures a holy God Who is divinely active, purely refined and untouchable in terms of His self-existent character in the holiness of His absolute nature of Triune Aseity. 

5.  A holy God purifies the impure and cauterizes the wound for His people alone.  He also brings punishable vengeance upon the damned reprobates unto eternal destruction.  Has a holy God done something wrong to establish His unapproachable justice in absolute holiness?  By no means!  He alone has the right to the Crown of Crowns to establish His justice upon villains that He chooses to leave in the state of reprobation.  Is He wrong to establish justice?  If His justice is without blemish of malice or illegitimate prejudice, what else could be more right than the exaltation of the Triune King upon lawless rebels of a license of habitual sin?  We speak as though the blackness of the sea captures the sinfulness of sin.  Yet it actually surpasses this metaphor but captures the basic sense of any sin as extreme.

 6.  What if the depths of the sea refer to God’s boundless and bottomless mercy through His eternal Son alone?  Yet if we looked at the depths of the sea in a physical sense it would seem huge of its extreme depths.  It refers to its extreme largeness.  Yet the sea could not hold the depths of depths of the immeasurable mercy of Jesus Christ.  The unified work of Jesus surpasses the allegory of the depths of the sea.  Do you suppose this captures sin?  Perhaps it is beyond us in the depths of the sea.  There is a way we speak in theology that sin is eternal yet Jesus Christ in His unified divine righteousness is beyond the eternity of sin. 

7.  If Jesus is not beyond the eternity of sin as we speak as Reformed theologians, would you dare say sin was by nature aseity?  By no means!  Sin was never eternally self-existent yet it was always known in the exalted, holy, righteous, immutable and eternal mind of the Triune God.  This did not happen beyond God’s control but He planned it all without Himself being a sinner.  Why?  He sought to establish the mercy of His eternal Son or to establish the justice of His eternal Son.  It simply means the Father was pleased to allow sin in His perfect creation to establish justice or establish mercy. 

8.  Judgment is through the eternal Son in the Spirit of God passing over them, hiding the gospel and blinding them, or mercy is through the eternal Son in the gift of the Spirit and Word in quickened regeneration.  Yet not even the sea in a sense could be the precise meaning of the depth of sin.  Does it mean Scripture is wrong that Christ does not surpass it?  By no means!  In the allegory of the bottomless mercy of Jesus, we speak this way as theologians because the sea is so huge, but that even fails to convey the eternal nature of sin and the bottomless mercy of Jesus.  The eternal nature of sin is even destroyed by Incarnate Aseity in His immeasurable life and immeasurable death of His imputation that in a sense is beyond heaven and yet is contained in the eternal place of heaven.

          9.  What does all of this mean?  Have you seen that you are the foremost of sinners?  If an eternal zillion numbers does not really capture sin, when will you come to your senses?  How do we know this unhyperbole hyperbole of eternal zillion sins is accurate?  If you have repented through Christ crucified to the Father of this, why are you still a sinner if it captures the meaning of the sinfulness of sin?  It speaks of the darkness of total depravity as the true nature of fallen sinners.  Imagine if you could see your inmost being.  Imagine if it read like a spiritual computer.  Suppose there were the most profound darkness upon your soul.  It was not something that showed you are basically good (Scientology), participation with Christ won by the Virgin Mary and the saints (Romanism) and self-appointed and created gods (Mormonism).  No one is basically good because of the divine Scriptures that reveals Christ alone (justification by faith alone) because He alone is greater than all.  Jesus Christ is not a man among men, but the eternal God-man above all men.

10.  Suppose you saw the deepest shadows of sin upon your soul.  What if you tried to scrub yourself and seek to penetrate the stain to be cured?  Is there any scheme besides solus Christus?  A holy God has made it clear that fallen man by nature is no good but also completely bankrupt.  The Father has revealed in divine revelation in tota Scriptura that His eternal Son (Jesus Christ) is the only way.  Fallen man is so completely corrupt that he cannot will himself to a holy God. 

11.  The practical does not make the positional (it cannot make it true without the Spirit and the Word), but the positional will establish the practical (the Spirit and the Word brings the gift of the Father’s oath through His Son).  If the positional establishes the practical, what if we reflect the positional in the practical in a shattered image?  Do you understand what this means?  This means you could counter the bad to make the wrong right (redeeming the time), but it will never scale out the balances (Islam) but demonstrates an establishment of human responsibility for civil good in light of meticulous foredetermination by the Triune God (a non-meritorious demonstration in contrary theology to Romanism but the Reformed teaching is that a demonstration is a gift of His Hand that never could add to Christ (but can only come from a holy God) because Jesus Christ is the highest, unequaled and indescribable gift of heaven by the design of the Holy Father through His Holy Son by His Holy Spirit (the Holy & Blessed Trinity).

12.  That is, spiritually awakening comes by the Spirit of God and the Word of God alone that brings the present from heaven that is the Rose of Bethlehem to His beloved people Who is Jesus Christ.  What will you do with your eternal zillion sins (total depravity)?  If you have begun to see self-despair and self-depression concerning participation in justification by Christ alone, flee to the Lord and Redeemer Jesus Christ Who provides the divine meritorious righteousness and goodness that is reckoned through His Cross by the Hound of Heaven.  Beseech the Lord of heaven and earth, to overcome your will of villainy to apprehend His gospel of good news (without the sin of violation concerning cosmic rape).  The Father runs to those Whom the Spirit brings to Him with the gift of the Lilley of the Valley (Christ Jesus our God and Savior).

Chapter 2:  The Sin of Eternal Gazillion

          1.  There is a blemish within your fallen constitution that is an unremarkable stain.  The cure for this stain of stains is not of this world.  God the Son came down from heaven and became sinless man by the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit upon the Virgin Mary in a virginal conception whereby the awesome eternal Son became man.  Heaven invaded this dark world to be the Light of the World.  Here the Light of the World still shines in the blackest of the darkest days of fallen men.  There was no sin in Jesus Christ Who is the Father’s eternal Son: namely, He was completely free from total depravity, radical corruption and original sin.  If Jesus Christ was born of a human father, there would be the unmistakable stain of original sin. 

2.  Rather He was born free of original sin by the power of the Holy Ghost because His Virgin Mother was a sinner saved by grace.  She carried Jesus Christ in her womb for nine months.  It was not a Virgin Birth but a Virginal Conception.  Yet it is true that the Birth of Jesus Christ remains a matchless birth because He is God Incarnate.  It is not something to do with the Virgin Mary.  Rather it has something to do with Jesus Christ!  There was no other who became man without giving up His deity but His glory where He did not cont it robbery with God to be God but Jesus Christ was Jehovah in human flesh.

          3.  Jesus Christ did not have a gazillion sins to repent of because He was sinless God and sinless man (One Person (Jesus Christ) with two natures: divine and human).  Jesus Christ did not have a total depravity to laboriously repent of everyday since conception.  Rather He never had a sinful nature.  Some think Jesus Christ literally became sin at His Cross.  Some think at His Cross Jesus Christ was a sinner.  This is the farthest from divine truth.  The Bible says He became sin that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.  It simply refers to the imputation of sin to Jesus Christ at His Cross.  Imputation is accounted, reckoned or accredited to someone’s account. 

4.  With Jesus Christ it refers to applied sin to His Cross.  Sin was applied to Jesus Christ and He bore the weight of sin.  Yet He did not become a sinner at His Cross.  If He became a literal sinner (not hyperbole), how is He now the sinless God-man enthroned in heaven as King?  Jesus Christ bore the load and mess of the sinfulness of sin.  The load must be incalculable.  Therefore the mess of sin applied to Jesus Christ was eternal.  He bore the sin of God’s elect people alone upon Himself that was the intent of His Cross.  He did not intend to bear the sin of Cain, Balaam, Judas Iscariot and Alexander the Coppersmith.   Rather He intended to bear the sin of Abel, Moses, St. Peter and St. Paul.

5.  We have no divine righteousness in and of ourselves.  By nature, we have possession of the darkest of blackest of natures.  We possess by nature original sin that is beyond the darkness of space and the coldness of space.   The darkness of the sea is beyond the sinfulness of sin.  Sin is beyond the coldness of the chill of a terrible winter.  The sin of the heat of the place of hell is beyond summer.  It is beyond the humidity of the hottest days of earth.  Rather the heat of hell is a way to say a surpassing agony.  It is a way to say the greatness of the terror of a breathless humidity: namely, a summer time of great humidity but hell is a place of unsurpassing and excruciating torment. 

6.  Hell was placed upon Jesus Christ at the Cross.  Many misunderstand what the purpose of the nine-hours of the Cross of Jesus Christ.  Many say He descended into hell after His death.  It is a wrong reading of the Creeds.  Rather He suffered hell upon the Cross but touching His omnipresence in His divine nature of aseity, He was always present in hell as much as heaven because He is God Incarnate.  The nine-hours was like putting together all the sins of every level by the Father’s design of the elect people of God alone upon Jesus Christ at His Cross from Abel to the last man in time and space. 

7.  This is where Jesus Christ endured the punishment of the Father’s justice upon Himself.  The Cross of Lamb of God won divine, supernatural and exclusive satisfaction upon Himself concerning the Father’s ultimate justice in behalf of His elect alone.   The sin that Jesus Christ endured upon His Cross was an eternal mess of unspeakable great sin.  Those who possess the Spirit of God by the Father’s design in the gift of the Son are forgiven because of the sinner’s imputation of sin to the Son and the Son’s imputation of righteousness to the sinner.  The sinfulness of sin cannot be cured by anything among us.  Rather it must be cured by Jesus Christ who is above us but came among us.  The Cross cures God’s elect people through His Son at the Cross of forgiveness and cleansing. 

8.  The curse of the Father’s judgment lies upon all who do not possess the Son by the Spirit.  The sin of every elect sinner does not carry the curse because of the Son’s Cross.  The spirit of age hates the Cross of Jesus Christ (the Lamb of God).  The Cross did not bear the sin of the never-converted reprobates.  Rather Jesus Christ bears the sins of all of the elect people of God alone.  Why?  The Triune Sovereign decides the eternal destinies of all of the peoples from every tribe, tongue and nation.  This is the case because He holds the right to His plans in bestowing the unlocking of the keys of death, but the bestowing, purchasing and granting everlasting life.

9.  All of this mess of sin was applied to Jesus Christ alone.  No other soul could endure the divine satisfaction of the ultimate justice of the Father’s wrath.  No sinner in the place of hell will be able to endure the punishments of hell.  It is a kind of overflowing of ultimate justice in the highest agony, terror and torment.  This is the place of hell.  A person overflows with the Father’s flaming retribution, the Son’s fiery indignation and the Spirit’s agonizing woe.  It is a consciousness of the pain of pain in the eternal waiting of the next assault by a holy God against terrorists, villains and criminals.  It is a place of unconsuming consumption while being a living destruction and a destruction that lives through an eternal death of agonizing terror unto eternal torment.

10.  Jesus Christ died to the Father but He lives now to the Father.  The Lamb of God died to the Father because He was the ransom for our souls.  Jesus Christ lives beyond death not by a potion that enabled Him to survive three days in the grave but by enduring death touching His sacred humanity by His own willingness in His divine prerogative to lay down His life and take it up again in His glorious, supernatural and awesome resurrected body of glory where He is bodily ascended to glory and enthroned as the King of Ages (Jesus Christ).  His matchless death destroyed death but His matchless resurrection destroyed death.  It means the death of Jesus Christ put the sin of death to death but His bodily resurrection of life put life to everlasting life. 

11.  Imagine the willingness of such a Savior.  He endured the redemptive suffering of the Father’s terror in behalf of His elect people alone.  Imagine the mess of sin applied to the Savior.  He who is holiness itself became sin so we might become the righteousness of God in Him.  He endured the punishment of the Father with the approbation of His obedience by the Spirit.  He did not approve of the sin but not even sin is greater than Incarnate Aseity.  He was pleased to take upon sin not for the love of sin but the love of obedience to His Father.  The Father designed it this way not because of the glory of sin but the glory of His satisfied wrath turned into mercy for His people through His Son (Jesus Christ).

12.  Sometimes obedience costs us our lives because it is the right thing.  If you find yourself where obedience costs you everything, have you stood the test?  The test is question of allegiance, loyalty and subservience to the Father (the Great King).  Where does your allegiance lay?  Does it lay on a loyalty to compromise of sin, tolerance of evil or an unfounded peace based on a peace that is not a peace?  Jesus Christ took all the sin from His people: namely, positionally we are sinless before a holy God but practically we are sinners before a holy God.  This is the mystery of salvation (without contradiction): namely, all saints are sinners but not all sinners are saints.
