God is Spirit and God is Life. The animal kingdom is the product of the law of lust of the flesh and the flesh is death, because it is unreal. And this law runs through all of the animal kingdom of material creation and of God's spiritual universe.

Romans, 7: 5: "For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, (the word motions here in the original means passions-which, of course, means the passions of the flesh), which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death." To give this passage its full meaning the Apostle intended to convey in the original Greek, it would have to read: "For when we were in the flesh, the sexual passions of sin, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death." Sixth chapter, 12th verse of Genesis: "And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh corrupted his way upon the earth." Fifth chapter Galations, seventeenth verse: "For the flesh lusted against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh." Sixth chapter of Galations, eighth verse: "For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting."

The Word which was with God in the beginning and which was God-which John refers to in the opening of his Gospel and which was the Creative power, and which spoke the spiritual universe into existence, was Spirit. The material creation is anti-spiritual, and the animal kingdom of this creation is produced and propagated by the law of lust-the essence of that which is anti-spiritual. All physical creation is produced and propagated by the law of lust, and is anti-spiritual and must die. This law governs from the lowest to the highest, the members of the animal kingdom of the meterial creation. When Sex Lust shall cease to enter the Mind of Spirit in consciousness and thought, Matter, the Material Senses and Death will be no more.

That is what the Scripture means when it says: "All creation travaileth and mourneth together and waiteth for the day of deliverance." That is, the physical creation which is produced and propagated by the law of sex and of the flesh and the law of lust is at enmity with the spiritual universe, and the spirits which are

Scholastic and man-made theology has declar marriage and the natural birth to be holy, and spiritua Scholastic theology has declared marriage to be a spiri ual institution, and has made it one of the sacraments the church, and the natural conception and the natur birth it has declared to be spiritual and holy. This error, and not the truth. Man-made theology has thu declared the physical and material relations of the sexe to be holy and spiritual. And upon this rock, every shi of scholastic theology through the ages, has been wrecke and sunk in the bottomless pit of the ocean of error Scholastic and man-made theology, in contending tha marriage is holy and the natural birth is spiritual, ha contended for too much. It has confounded the mora of the mortal creation, with the spiritual. If marriage be holy and the natural birth spiritual, then the mortal man would be spiritual and in harmony with his Maker and would need no redemption or salvation. The makers of scholastic theology, in contending that marriage is holy and the natural birth spiritual, have argued their theology out of court, and have given the world of infidelity, a judgment by confession. For the infidel replies: "If marriage be holy and the natural conception and the natural birth be spiritual, why does man need redemption or salvation?" And if the contention of the theological world be true, the infidel's and agnostic's and materialist's reply is unanswerable.

But marriage is not holy and the natural birth is not spiritual, and upon the truth of this statement, depends the Immaculate and Supernatural Conception of Jesus Christ.

But the theological world quotes-does not the Bible say: "And the Lord God said: It is not good
