COMBINATION OF THE SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY AND THE RARE FRUIT TREES AND VEGETABLES - Annona muricata With the Scripture of the Day first.
[2] SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY [700B]
He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him. 6 For he clave to the LORD, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses. 2 Kings 18:5 – 6, [authorized King James Bible; AV]
Although King Hezekiah was the son of one of the most wicked kings of Judah, and had had one of the worst childhoods imaginable, even witnessing the burning a son as a sacrifice to a pagan god, he over came these bad influences and became one of the best kings of Judah. He, per 2 Chronicles 29:1 – 11, [AV] “Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah. 2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done. 3 He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the LORD, and repaired them. 4 And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the east street, 5 And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place. 6 For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs. 7 Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel. 8 Wherefore the wrath of the LORD was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes. 9 For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this. 10 Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with the LORD God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us. 11 My sons, be not now negligent: for the LORD hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister unto him, and burn incense.” And at 2 Chronicles 29:28 – 24, [AV] “Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the LORD, and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof. 19 Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they are before the altar of the LORD. 20 Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD. 21 And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of the LORD. 22 So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: likewise, when they had killed the rams, they sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar. 23 And they brought forth the he goats for the sin offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them: 24 And the priests killed them, and they made reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel: for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.” Then he, 2 Chronicles 31:1, [AV] “Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.” Re-introduced clean worship in all of Judah.” This right action of his clearly proves a person’s past does not have to determine his future.

[3] HERE IS A COMMENTARY ON BOUNTIFUL TREES AND VEGETABLES GOD (YHWH) HAS PROVIDED FOR MANKIND, SPECIFICALLY THE SOURSOP OR GRAVIOLA IS THE FRUIT OF ANNONA MURICATA, A BROADLEAF, flowering, evergreen tree native to Mexico, Cuba, Central America, the Caribbean, extreme southern Florida and the Florida Keys, and northern South America: Colombia, Brazil, Peru, and Venezuela. Soursop is also produced in sub-Saharan African countries that lie within the tropics. It’s fruit and juice of the fruit are strong medicine against some cancers.
In Genesis 1:11-13, "And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit-trees bearing fruit after their kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth: and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after their kind: and God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, a third day. (American Standard Version, ASV)[for more details, go to www.jw.org].
Adaptation
The soursop is adapted to areas of high humidity and relatively warm winters; temperatures below 5 °C (41 °F) will cause damage to leaves and small branches, and temperatures below 3 °C (37 °F) can be fatal. The fruit becomes dry and is no longer good for concentrate.
Cultivation and uses
The plant is grown as a commercial crop for its 20–30 cm (7.9–12 in) long, prickly, green fruit, which can have a mass of up to 15 lb (6.8 kg)[2], making it probably the second biggest annona after the junglesop.
Away from its native area, some limited production occurs as far north as southern Florida within USDA Zone 10; however, these are mostly garden plantings for local consumption. It is also grown in parts of Southeast Asia and abundant on the Island of Mauritius. The soursop will reportedly fruit as a container specimen, even in temperate climates, if protected from cool temperatures.
The flesh of the fruit consists of an edible, white pulp, some fiber, and a core of indigestible, black seeds. The species is the only member of its genus suitable for processing and preservation. The sweet pulp is used to make juice, as well as candies, sorbets, and ice cream flavorings.
In Mexico , Colombia and Harar (Ethiopia ), it is a common fruit, often used for dessert as the only ingredient, or as an agua fresca beverage; in Colombia, it is a fruit for juices, mixed with milk. Ice cream and fruit bars made of soursop are also very popular. The seeds are normally left in the preparation, and removed while consuming.
In Indonesia, dodol sirsak, a sweetmeat, is made by boiling soursop pulp in water and adding sugar until the mixture hardens. Soursop is also a common ingredient for making fresh fruit juices that are sold by street food vendors. In the Philippines, it is called guyabano, obviously derived from the Spanish guanabana, and is eaten ripe, or used to make juices, smoothies, or ice cream. Sometimes, they use the leaf in tenderizing meat. In Vietnam, this fruit is called mãng c?u Xiêm in the south, or mãng c?u in the north, and is used to make smoothies, or eaten as is. In Cambodia, this fruit is called tearb barung, literally "western custard-apple fruit." In Malaysia, it is known in Malay as durian belanda and in East Malaysia, specifically among the Dusun people of Sabah, it is locally known as lampun. Popularly, it is eaten raw when it ripens. Usually the fruits are taken from the tree when they mature and left to ripen in a dark corner, whereby they will be eaten when they are fully ripe. It has a white flower with a very pleasing scent, especially in the morning. While for people in Brunei Darussalam this fruit is popularly known as "Durian Salat", widely available and easily planted. [source - retrieved from on 12/05/2012]
Use Against Cancer
Graviola Tree and Paw Paw Treatments For Cancer
How It Works
These products come from trees in the tropical areas of South and North America. They kill cancer cells as a minimum, but may have other affects on cancer. Paw Paw is known to work by blocking ATP production and thus reduce the voltage of the cancer cell to the point it falls apart (apoptosis or programmed cell death). Because Paw Paw and graviola are cousins, I assume that is also the way graviola works. They are also known to build the immunity system.
Graviola Tree and Paw Paw Tree
This is one of those treatments for cancer that is fairly new, meaning it has only recently found its way onto the internet. Nevertheless, there have been a lot of scientific studies on these two products. At the current time most of the articles for Graviola and cancer come from a single source - the Health Sciences Institute (see the links below), though there are a growing number of independent articles.
I recommend graviola on the basis of several scientific articles, several testimonials, and several comments by practitioners (mostly from Brazil), however, Paw Paw is actually stronger than graviola at treating cancer. Paw Paw is the more potent of the two because of its more sophisticated and larger molecular structures. Graviola is sometimes called "Brazilian Paw Paw," which can cause some confusion.
Paw Paw is clearly more powerful than graviola when treating cancer, if the quality of the processing is comparable. However, I would take freshly cut graviola over bottled Paw Paw (but American's can't get freshly cut graviola). Graviola only has single ring compounds, while the Paw Paw's acetogenins have several double ring compounds (e.g. bullatacin) which makes Paw Paw much more powerful.
Paw Paw works (and I assume graviola as well) by slowing down or stopping the production of ATP. This in turn lowers the voltage of the cell. For normal cells, there is plenty of ATP, thus lowering the level of ATP has no effect on the cell. However, with cancer cells, due to the way they create energy (by fermentation), ATP is far more critical.
When the ATP level, and the energy of the cell level, drops to a critical level the cell falls apart. The residual pieces of the dead cancer cell are called "lysing" and I assume are similiar to other apoptosis (programmed cell death) killed cells. If that is the case, then part of the lysing is literally "eaten" by other cells (called: phagocytosed).
However, because the cancer cells in a cancer patient are frequently clusted together, a large amount of lysing can be created within a cancer patient such that high levels of clustered lysing cannot be eaten by surrounding cells. Such a situation is especially dangerous for lung cancer patients and brain cancer patients where a clustered amount of lysing can be very dangerous.
Here is some technical information on graviola:
* "The Annonaceous acetogenins discovered in graviola thus far include: annocatalin, annohexocin, annomonicin, annomontacin, annomuricatin A & B, annomuricin A thru E, annomutacin, annonacin, annonacinone, annopentocin A thru C, cis-annonacin, cis-corossolone, cohibin A thru D, corepoxylone, coronin, corossolin, corossolone, donhexocin, epomuricenin A & B, gigantetrocin, gigantetrocin A & B, gigantetrocinone, gigantetronenin, goniothalamicin, iso-annonacin, javoricin, montanacin, montecristin, muracin A thru G, muricapentocin, muricatalicin, muricatalin, muri-catenol, muricatetrocin A & B muricatin D, muricatocin A thru C muricin H, muricin I, muricoreacin, murihexocin 3, murihexocin A thru C, murihexol, murisolin, robustocin, rolliniastatin 1 & 2, saba-delin, solamin, uvariamicin I & IV, xylomaticin.
Graviola, like its cousin Paw Paw, is known to greatly enhace the effectiveness of another alternative cancer treatment - Protocel. However, generally it is recommended that Protocel not be taken with graviola or Paw Paw. There are exceptions, see my Protocel article for more information:
Protocel Article
Because of the similarity of Paw Paw and graviola to Protocel, there is no doubt in my mind that in order to maximize the effectiveness of these products, they should be taken in exactly the same way as Protocel. In other words, every 6 hours, EXACTLY - 24 hours a day.
I would strongly recommend studying the Protocel article linked to above for information that will help you take these products.
Paw Paw has been shown to kill multiple-drug resistant (MDR) cells, which result from someone taking chemotherapy. This is critical to understand because when a person on orthodox treatments comes out of remission into regression, a high percentage of their cancer cells are MDR cells. This would REQUIRE the use of Paw Paw to treat these patients.
Paw Paw is not toxic according to studies with beagles (dogs). It appears to be impossible to 'overdose', 32 capsules 4x/day were non toxic because it caused vomiting.
Paw Paw gravitates towards cells that use a lot of energy and then cuts off their energy supply. Since cancer cells use 10-17 times as much energy as a normal cell, Paw Paw acts on cancer cells. It is the same mechanism that made it so useful as a parasite cleanse and to kill hair lice.
It is also the reason that pregnant women should not take Paw Paw. Paw Paw could see some of the fast growing cells in the fetus as high energy cells. In addition, some of the cells in a fetus are very similar to cancer cells (i.e. the "trophoblastic" cells), so pregnant women should ALWAYS be careful what they take for cancer.
If no cancer, parasite, or other high energy users are available, Paw Paw may gravitate towards fast growing cells lining the digestive and intestinal system walls. This is why the main manufacturer, Nature's Sunshine, strongly cautions against long term use for non-cancer patients. Some people with cancer have reported digestion distress such as nausea. For this reason it is recommended to take Paw Paw with food.
Warnings For Both Products
In the past, it was thought that the effectiveness of Paw Paw, like Protocel, was damaged by taking antioxidants with Paw Paw. However, new research has shown that this is not the case. I quote from an email I received:
* "The head of NSP research, Dr. Bill Keller, provided Paw Paw with supporting products to a research oncologist and his laboratory to test with actual cultures. Several of Nature's Sunshine strong antioxidants were also provided. The research personnel concluded overwhelmingly that there was no negative prevention of Paw Paw action as a result of the antioxidants."
email to CancerTutor
Important Note: The above email is not the end of the story. Nature's Sunshine researchers are still looking into this issue because there are some antioxidants that DO increase ATP energy, which would conflict with the use of Paw Paw, graviola and Protocel. I will put the results of their research on this web site as soon as I get more information!!
Also, I do not know which antioxidants may conflict with graviola. If you buy graviola, check with the vendor for recommendations.
No one with Parkinsons Disease should take Paw Paw or graviola unless alkaloid-free preparations are used. There is also a possibility of allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Supercharging This Treatment
Paw Paw is generally considered stronger than graviola. This does not mean that graviola should not be used. Cat's Claw and Ellagic Acid seem to be items that people like to combine with Graviola. However, if you take Cat's Claw make sure you take a product like Samento, which is a TOA-free Cat's Claw.
An alternative cancer treatment should be a complete treatment protocol. Do NOT forget to study the complete treatment protocol for Stage I, II and III cancer patients and the complete treatment protocol for Stage IV cancer patients:

[2] SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY [VOL. 701B]
And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. Luke 1:26 – 28, [authorized King James Bible; AV]
And she was much troubled by what the Angel said as shown by Luke 1:29 – 38, [AV] “And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. 30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. 34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. 36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. 37 For with God nothing shall be impossible. 38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.” Yes, her faith in Almighty God’s (YHWH’s) was extra ordinary, but faith is not inborn. It is the product of an individual’s effort and Almighty God (YHWH) blessing as shown by Galacians 5:22, (AV) “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,” And, Mary had an excellent understanding of spiritual things.

[3] DO NOT BE AN APOSTATE:
INTRODUCTION:
Let's first learn what an apostate is from the dictionary:
The American Heritage(r) Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition.
Apostate = One who has abandoned one's religious faith, a political party, one's principles, or a cause.
Now to be an apostate, you must abandon something without making a formal legal renunciation of the cause.
There are two types of apostates as follows:
[1] Those who formally belonged to some cause or religious faith and left it without a formal legal renunciation for just cause.
[2] Those who belong to a religion who left another religion without the new religion having made a formal legal renunciation for just cause. Within Christianity this would be all the groups such as Catholics, Gnostics, etc. who left the gospel of Jesus (Yeshua) and his apostles and set up opposition beliefs as foretold by Romans 16:17, "But I beseech you, brethren, to consider those who create divisions and occasions of falling, contrary to the doctrine which *ye* have learnt, and turn away from them." (American Standard Version; ASV). Or as one Bible dictionary put it, <<<"It is evident that there is a distinction between a 'falling' due to weakness and the 'falling away' that constitutes apostasy. The latter implies a definite and willful withdrawal from the path of righteousness. (1Jo 3:4-8; 5:16, 17) Whatever its apparent basis, whether intellectual, moral, or spiritual, it constitutes a rebellion against God and a rejection of his Word of truth.-2Th 2:3, 4;" [source - Insight on the Scripture, Vol. 1].>>>.
Or as another Bible dictionary put it, "Though the word 'apostasy' does not occur in the A.V., the Greek word occurs from which the English word is derived. In #Ac 21:21 Paul was told that he was accused of teaching the Jews who were among the Gentiles to apostatise from Moses. Paul taught freedom from the law by the death of the Christ and this would appear to a strict Jew as apostasy. The same word is used in #2Th 2:3, where it is taught that the day of the Lord could not come until there came 'the apostasy,' or the falling away from Christianity in connection with the manifestation of the man of sin. See ANTICHRIST.
Though the general apostasy there spoken of cannot come till after the saints are taken to heaven, yet there may be, as there has been, individual falling away. See, for instance, #Heb 3:12 10:26,28, and the epistle of Jude #Jude 1-25. There are solemn warnings also that shew that such apostasy will be more and more general as the close of the present dispensation approaches. #1Ti 4:1-3. Now a falling away necessarily implies a position which can be fallen from, a profession has been made which has been deliberately given up. This is, as scripture says, like the dog returning to his vomit, and the sow to her wallowing in the mire. It is not a Christian falling into some sin, from which grace can recover him; but a definite relinquishing of Christianity. Scripture holds out no hope in a case of deliberate apostasy, though nothing is too hard for the Lord." [source - Concise Bible Dictionary]>>>.
The general apostasy was the one where many fell away in mass and formed false religions that deviated from the true religion taught by Jesus (Yeshua) and his apostles in the 1 st. Century which can be divided into the early falling away and the later falling away into manmade creeds such as Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Protestantism, Islam, modern Judaism, etc. All formed by men, in many cases strong men, obedient to the ruler of this system - better known as creeds; whereas, genuine (true) religion is founded on the inspired word of Almighty God, the Bible without the adulteration by any man made creeds and/or creedal doctrines and traditions.
Now let's look at when and when not formal legal renunciation is necessary so one can not legally be looked at as an apostate.
WHEN FORMAL LEGAL RENUNCIATION IS REQUIRED:
First, Let it be understood that no formal legal renunciation is required from any group of which you have never been a member which I shall illustrate with my own situation.
I was brought up in a family of mixed religious affiliations. My mother was a nominal Christian, my father belonged to no church or religion, and I had an uncle that belonged to a false religion that did not claim to be Christian. Some of the priest from the church my mother occasionally went to tried to get me to join their false religion and get baptized by their false baptism, but I strongly resisted their wrong efforts and did not become a member of their religion. On the other hand, my uncle, an imam, tried to get me to join his false religion and to wear its religious garb, but I strongly resisted his wrong efforts and did not become a member of his false religion - either.
In my situation no formal legal renunciation was possible as I had never been a member of either false religion; however, if you have once been a member of a false religion, formal legal renunciation is required or otherwise you could be branded an apostate even by a false religion.
Second, For those who have been members of a false religion of any flavor, formal legal renunciation is required.
According to the The American Heritage(r) Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition:
Renounce = VERB: Inflected forms: re·nounced, re·nounc·ing, re·nounc·es
TRANSITIVE VERB: 1. To give up (a title, for example), especially by formal announcement. See synonyms at relinquish.
Third, How you go about formal legal renunciation of a false religion will depend on the country you are in. In many countries this will require legal representation - barrister or lawyer as the case may be, but in many countries the process of formal legal renouncing membership in a false religion is quite simple. For example, in most of North and South America, England, Republic of Ireland, Spain, Germany, Sweden, etc. it consist of simply filing out a simple paper saying you renounce membership in such and such religion and getting it certified by the appropriate official for recognizing signatures and/or three witnesses and sending a copy to the leader(s) of the group of which you were formally a member, either deliver it in person with three or more witnesses along to witness the formal handover or by some form of registered mail where one receives a receipt back proving delivery, and a copy to the bureau of public records for the political district or jurisdiction you live in for recording along with the required small recording fee.
In other countries, you will need legal representation and may even need to appear before a court to show due cause such as wrong and/or false doctrine of the group you were formally with. I believe Bangladesh is one such country.
Fourth, You should NOT put off formal legal renunciation of a false religion as if you do so, you might be branded an apostate.
Fifth, Remember some consider any sin apostasy, but the law in North and South America, England, Republic of Ireland, Spain, Germany, Sweden, etc. does not. Let's look at what one group said on this, <<<"[It is also apostacy] to consider that a sin is permissible - whether a major or minor one; when such a sin has been proved to be a sin by absolute proofs. Similarly, considering it [sinning] a light thing [al-istihanah] is also apostacy when one considers it a small thing, an inconsequent matter and commits it without any bother as if he/she is doing a permissible thing."[source - ]>>>. So action can still be taken against someone calling you an apostate for this reason under the tort laws for libel as can be done if one calls you that when you have never been a member of a false religious group and/or have made a formal legal renunciation - in some places it will be necessary to advertise for three times in a publication of wide circulation before you can take action under the tort laws.

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:9 – 11 [authorized King James Bible; AV]
It is imperative if anyone is practicing these Almighty God (YHWH) disapproved things that they immediately start working to turn their life around. All need to put on a new personality and way of life per Colossians 3:10 – 11, [AV] “And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.” We need to due according to Colossians 3:12 – 15, [AV] “Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.”

[3] WHO IS A SAVIOR
INTRODUCTION:
Let's face it, the word savior has several different meanings and/or aspects. One can be he who saves someone directly, and another can be one who orders another to save someone; and this can proceed through several layers. But let's first look at what the Bible says and then proceed to the dictionary definition and saving through several layers.
WHY NEED FOR A SAVIOR:
At John 1:12-14, " But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God; 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." (Revised Standard Version; RSV). Here God (YHWH) demonstrated His love by sending His promised Son, Jesus (Yeshua), to be the Savior and Messiah, and then allowing Him to be crucified on a torture stake. God (YHWH) let his Son serve as a ransom for our sins, a perfect human life for the perfect human life lost by Adam. Let's consider this in detail.
In having Jesus give his life, God (YHWH) was dealing with a situation that arose when Adam sinned. What a tragedy that sin was! The very first man and his wife, Eve, were perfect. The beautiful garden of Eden was their home. God gave them the meaningful work of caring for their garden home. They were to have under their loving oversight the other living creatures on earth. And as humans multiplied and filled the earth with millions of their kind, they were to expand the paradise to earth's limits as recorded at Genesis 1:28, "And God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth." (RSV). Thus God (YHWH) set before them a delightful and exciting work, and they had the loving companionship of each other. They lacked nothing.
It is hard to imagine why Adam or Eve would want to disobey and thus sin. But the first human pair rebelled against the very one who created them-Almighty God (YHWH). Using a serpent, the spirit creature Satan the Devil deceived Eve into disobeying Almighty God (YHWH), and her perfect human husband Adam followed her per Genesis 3:1-6, "Now the serpent was more subtle than any other wild creature that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God say, 'You shall not eat of any tree of the garden'?" 2 And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 but God said, 'You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'" 4 But the serpent said to the woman, "You will not die. 5 For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband, and he ate." (RSV).
There was no question about what the Creator would do about Adam and Eve as he had already spelled out the consequence of disobedience, when he said at Genesis 2:16-17, "And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "You may freely eat of every tree of the garden; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die." (RSV).
ORIGINAL SIN CREATED NEED FOR GOD (YHWH) TO PROVIDE A SAVIOR:
The original sin created a problem of a critical nature for all of mankind. Adam began life as a perfect human. Therefore, his children could have enjoyed perfect everlasting life. However, Adam sinned before he fathered any children, and was put under sentence by God (YHWH) as affirmed at Genesis 3:17-19, "And to Adam he said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground because of you; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life; 18 thorns and thistles it shall bring forth to you; and you shall eat the plants of the field. 19 In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; you are dust, and to dust you shall return." (RSV). Thus at this time when Adam sinned, he began to die as God (YHWH) had said, and all of mankind was thus under the sentence of death due to the sin inherited from Adam.
Thus, the Apostle Paul said at Romans 5:8-12, "But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. 9 Since, therefore, we are now justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. 10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. 11 Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received our reconciliation. 12 Therefore as sin came into the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all men sinned-." (RSV). Therefore, because of the original sin, we are all dying today and thus need a savior
GOD (YHWH) NEEDED TO PROVIDE A SAVIOR:
Since God (YHWH) is love per 1 John 4:8, "He who does not love does not know God; for God is love" (RSV), he had to counter the evil worked by Satan the Devil by providing a savior for all of mankind. And the fact that he would provide one was foretold at Genesis 3:14-15, "The LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above all cattle, and above all wild animals; upon your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. 15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel." (RSV). Here God (YHWH) alluded to his plan or purpose to provide a savior for all of obedient mankind in the form of his beloved only begotten Son, Jesus (Yeshua), i.e., a perfect human life in place of the perfect human life lost by Adam.
This was required because of the law of like for like given at Romans 6:20-23, " When you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 But then what return did you get from the things of which you are now ashamed? The end of those things is death. 22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the return you get is sanctification and its end, eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (RSV). To do this of course a perfect human life must be provided to be the equivalent of the one lost by Adam.
This was required by law as shown at Exodus 21:23, If any harm follows, then you shall give life for life, " (RSV) which required like for like. According to this principle, only the death of another perfect man could provide the ransom for the wages of sin, and God (YHWH) transformed the life force of his only begotten Son into the womb of a virgin human girl to enable him to be born as a human so he could provide the necessary ransom required by the law. This was made clear at 1 Timothy 2:1-6, " First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, godly and respectful in every way. 3 This is good, and it is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony to which was borne at the proper time." (RSV).
Therefore, Jesus saves because he died for all obedient mankind. And what a valuable provision his death is! When we see it as a part of God's (YHWH's) solution to the complex problem of Adam's sin, our faith in Almighty God (YHWH) is strengthened greatly. This loving provision of God (YHWH) is made clear at John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." (RSV).
NOW LET'S EXPLORE WHAT A SAVIOR IS:
The dictionary definition as provided by Word Web On Line is:
Noun: savior seyvyur
Usage: N. Amer (=saviour)
1. A person who rescues you from harm or danger
- saviour [Brit, Cdn], rescuer, deliverer
2. A teacher and prophet born in Bethlehem and active in Nazareth; his life and sermons form the basis for Christianity (circa 4 BC - AD 29)
- Jesus, Jesus of Nazareth, the Nazarene, Jesus Christ, Christ, Saviour [Brit, Cdn], Good Shepherd, Redeemer, Deliverer
-
Type of: benefactor, Hebrew, helper, Israelite, Jew, Logos, prophet, Son, Word
ago. Seek His free gift of forgiveness and unending love.
(v.) One who saves, preserves, or delivers from destruction or danger.
Definition of Savior [source - Word Web On Line ]
CONCLUSION:
So as we can see, a Savior is someone who saves, preserves, and/or deliverers from destruction and/or danger.
Now both God (YHWH) and his Son, Jesus (Yeshua) Christ can both rightly be called Saviors, but in a different sense and/or aspect. How so? Well God (YHWH) could be called a savior in that he took steps to provide a perfect human life as a ransom for the original one lost by Adam by providing his beloved only begotten Son, Jesus (Yeshua) as a ransom. This compares to a ship captain ordering the crew to throw life preservers to individuals in the water, the captain, like God (YHWH) has provided the means of saving. So in this sense, just as in the case of God (YHWH) providing his only begotten Son as a saving sacrifice, could be called a savior.
However, in a different aspect, the Son, Jesus (Yeshua) Christ is called the Savior as he, in obedience to his Father (YHWH) gave up his human life as a ransom for all of mankind. So he was in the direct sense the Savior of all of mankind just as the sailor who through the life preserver was the direct savior of the receiver of the life preserver. However, in both cases, those giving the directions to subordinates could also be called saviors in a different sense in that without their directions no one would have been saved in either case.

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13, [authorized King James Bible; AV]
Yes, sometimes Almighty God (YHWH) maneuvers situations to remove trials, but at other times, He gives endurance to endure such trials as testified to at Colossians 1:11, [AV] “Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;”

Introduction:
Islam's claim as made by one of their members,
"Islam's laws are just because the Creator is Perfect and so His Justice is also Perfect.
[source - ]"
The Reality,
"These are the words of a young girl who called from Iran last night and talked on the air with NITV Satellite TV station located in Los Angeles.
"They killed my friend by inserting a baton into the body until it had reached the liver. God is my witness, these are not some tales, these are the realities of our lives in Iran about what they are doing to us! They won't even let us breathe here. The way they mistreatment us, has caused us to even hate ourselves. Although I was an "A" student, I intentionally failed my exam in retribution-law class of mine in the university because I couldn't agree with it. They whipped us if we didn't do the Islamic praying. They wanted me to respect their flag and I didn't want to because it was Arabic. I told them I'll respect the flag if they would put the word "Khoda" (god's name in Persian) on the flag instead of the "Allah" (the Arabic version of god's name). Thus, they lashed me over 70 times. You won't believe what this regime does to us. I was studying to be a judge but they ruined my life just because I held a flag with a "lion and sun" (Iranian ancient and historical flag) in my hand. After all that torturing and flogging, when they finally released me from prison, I burned the Koran. Although I love to have a child, I am not going to have one because I don't want my baby to be dictated their religion."
Some say, Iranians outside Iran are bunch of cowards and heartless who have their tails between their legs when it comes to defend and echo the voices of their compatriots inside Iran. Others say Iranians outside Iran have become heartless mechanical robots since they been neutered (aghim shodeh) by the regime?s supporters and cohorts outside Iran.
But I don't believe that. I believe most my compatriots are unaware of what really is going on in that country and more and more are becoming aware and active. I know every time more of my compatriots hear the outcries of Iran's sons and daughters within Iran such as this, it further awakens them and their conscience. I know soon my compatriots will rise in an unprecedented unity to liberate their motherland, free 70 million Iranian hostages and crush the tyrants and the anti-Iranian Islamic Regime.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: James 1:19, [authorized King James Bible; AV]
The mother of Jesus (Yeshua) was a great listener, and she was slow to speak. And she was surprised at his response when he was a twelve year old boy, and when she found him in the temple. He said, Luke 2:46 – 52, [AV] “And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. 47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. 48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. 49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business? 50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. 51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. 52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.”

Introduction:
Islam's claim as made by one of their members,
"Islam's laws are just because the Creator is Perfect and so His Justice is also Perfect.
[source - ]"
The Reality,
For women to use force to defend themselves against rape is considered a serious crime for which they can be sentenced to death at the local court lever, and even if they appeal to the supreme court in their Islamic country they might have the death sentence lifted but will have to pay an outrageous fine that will bankrupt their family. This is not true justice, but injustice.
Here is an actual example for proof,
"www.rferl.org ^ | Saturday, 07 January 2006
Iran's "Etemad" newspaper reports today that an 18-year-old woman has been sentenced to death by hanging for killing a man she said was trying to rape her. The newspaper reported that the woman, identified only as Nazanin, testified during her trial that she and her niece were out with their boyfriends when they were accosted by two men who chased away the boyfriends then tried to rape the two young women. Nazanin admitted stabbing one of the men to prevent her and her niece from being assaulted. Nazanin was only 17 years old at the time, but under Iranian law...
[update] Iran clears teenage woman sentenced to deathAFP
January 15, 2007
TEHRAN -- An Iranian court has cleared of murder charges a 19-year-old woman who was originally sentenced to death for killing a man that she said tried to rape her, the press reported Monday.
Mahabad Fatehi, known as Nazanin, was cleared by a not valid. provincial court of premeditated murder but still ordered to pay blood money of 260 million Iranian riyals ($30,600) to the victim's family, the Etemad newspaper reported.
Fatehi, whose case achieved international notoriety when it was taken up by a Canadian beauty queen of Iranian origin, said that she stabbed the man in an act of self-defense after he tried to rape her and her niece in March 2005.
In January last year, Fatehi was put on trial and sentenced to death by a criminal court, a verdict that was then quashed by in an unprecedented move, the report said."
Note, even the court did not call it premeditated murder - is was a forceful defense by the girl to avoid being raped.
If she had been raped, she might have been murdered by her family for reasons of "honor." To see the facts,

But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend. Isaiah 41:8, [authorized King James Bible; AV]
Reality, the greatest need of mankind is for love. Abraham was a man who cultivated a loving friendship with Almighty God (YHWH) as shown by James 2:23 - 24, [AV] “And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.” In fact, the Bible at Romans 4:11 - 13, [AV] “And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also: 12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised. 13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.” [A side note: Abraham was of the ninth generation descended from Shem, one of the sons of Noah, and a man of great faith.]

[3] Here is a Commentary on Bountiful Trees and Vegetables God (YHWH) has provided for mankind, specifically THE GREEN SAPOTE, Pouteria Virde, sapote" is believed to have been derived from the Aztec "tzapotl", a general term applied to all soft, sweet fruits. It has long been utilized as a common name for Pouteria sapota (Jacq.) H.E. Moore & Stearn (syns. P. mammosa (L.) Cronquist, Lucuma mammosa Gaertn., Achradelpha mammosa Cook, Vitellaria mammosa Radlk., Calocarpum mammosum Pierre, C. sapota Merrill, Sideroxylon sapota Jacq.). Alternate vernacular names include sapota, zapote, zapote colorado, zapote mamey, lava-zapote, zapotillo, mamey sapote, mamee sapote, mamee zapote, mamey colorado, mamey rojo, mammee or mammee apple or red sapote. In El Salvador, it is known as zapote grande, in Colombia as zapote de carne; in Cuba, it is mamey, which tends to confuse it with Mammea americana L., a quite different fruit widely known by that name. The usual name in Panama is mamey de la tierra; in Haiti, sapotier jaune d'oeuf, or grand sapotillier; in Guadeloupe, sapote à creme; in Martinique, grosse sapote; in Jamaica, it is marmalade fruit or marmalade plum; in Nicaragua, it may be called guaicume; in Mexico, chachaas or chachalhaas or tezonzapote; in Malaya and the Philippines, chico-mamei, or chico-mamey.
The sapote belongs to the family Sapotaceae, the same family as the sapodilla (Manilkara zapota van Royen) which has also been called sapote, zapote, or zapote chico to distinguish it from the larger fruit. [source - retrieved from on 1/09/2013]
Here is what one person attempting to grow a Green Sapote has to say, “Me and everyone else that's tried to grow a green sapote 
. Don't panic it will grow new leaves this year but chances are it wont grow any height. My friend from Perth is the only guy I know that cured it, after several years of no upward growth he dumped huge amounts of fertiliser on the green sapote and it grew 10 foot taller in a season and then died 
So maybe dump half the amount of fertiliser he did on it and you will be ok .
That reminds me I have to go anf finish putting chicken manure on my garden, I got 12 40kg bags of the stuff a few days ago and only have 3 bags left but I will get more than half of my trees fed this year, which will be my best effort ever and I might even buy another 10 bags to finish the job. I'm starting to impress myself everytime I go for a walk among my trees now, its really starting to look like a garden, has tracks between the trees and everything ” by Jason on December 13, 2005 at 4:51 pm PST.
In Genesis 1:11-13, "And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit-trees bearing fruit after their kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth: and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after their kind: and God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, a third day. (American Standard Version, ASV)[for more details, go to www.jw.org].
Unfortunately there is very little information on the Green Sapote in English, but here is some information in Spanish.
Zapote verde (Viene de Frutales)
Pouteria viridis Cronq
(syns. Calocarpum viride Pitt;. viridis Achradelpha O.F. Cook).
El zapote verde, se le llama Injerto, Injerto verde o raxtul en Guatemala; zapote injerto en Costa Rica; White faisan o red faisan en Belice. El árbol es erecto, llega a 40 o incluso 80 pies (12 a 24 m)de altura , sus ramas jóvenes son densamente peludas. Posee una gran cantidad de látex blanco y pegajoso. Las hojas están agrupadas en las puntas de las ramas florecidas e irregularmente alternadas a lo largo de las ramitas suplentes no fructificadas. Son oblongo-lanceoladas, puntiagudas, de 4 a 10 pulgadas (10-25 cm) de largo, 2 a 2 3/4 pulgadas (7.5 cm) de ancho, pilosas en el nervio medio superior y blanquecinas por debajo.
Las flores, nacen en grupos de 2 a 5 en las axilas de las hojas y se congregan a lo largo de las ramas sin hojas, son tubulares, de 5 lóbulos, rosadas o marfil y con pelos sedosos.
El fruto varía desde casi redondo a ovalado, agudo en el ápice y, a veces en la base, puede ser de 3 1/2 a 5 pulgadas (9 a 12.5 cm) de largo y de 2 1/2 a 3 pulgadas (6.25 a 7.5 cm) de grueso,
con la piel fina, de color verde oliva o verde-amarillo salpicado de rojo-marrón y se aferra con fuerza a la pulpa. La pulpa es de color rojizo, de textura fina, pastosa, bastante jugosa y dulce, de mejor sabor que el zapote. Puede tener 1 o 2 semillas de color marrón oscuro, brillantes, elípticas o aovadas de 2 pulgadas (5 cm) de largo, con un gran hilio mate gris en una superficie. El fruto se recoge aun duro y se almacena hasta que esté blando. La pulpa por lo general se come cruda sacándola con una cuchara de la piel, pero en Guatemala se hace de ella una conserva.
El árbol es nativo y común en la naturaleza en Guatemala y Honduras; más raro en Costa Rica y hacia el sur hasta Panamá, en alturas entre 3,000 y 7,000 pies (900-2,100 metros). Los frutos comunmente se comercializan.
En 1916, 50 semillas de la fruta de un mercado en Guatemala fueron traídas por el Departamento de Agricultura de EE.UU. Siembras experimentales se realizaron en California y Florida. Más semillas fueron enviados por el Dr. Wilson Popenoe del jardín experimental de Lancetilla en Tela, Honduras, en 1929. Siguieron otras introducciones. No quedaban sobrevivientes en California o Florida para el 1940. Árboles de 8 a 10 pies (2,4 a 3 m) de alto en el Agricultural Research and Education Center, Homestead, Florida, murieron por una inundación en 1948. Un investigador privado, William Whitman, obtuvo esquejes de Honduras en 1954 y los injertó en patrones de zapote. Otros injertos fueron hechos por un productor comercial de frutas y los primeros frutos se produjeron en 1961. Posteriormente, árboles injertados fueron puestos a la venta por el Vivero Brooks-Tower y diferentes plantas de semilla han sido distribuidos a productores privados.
El árbol parece florecer con poco cuidado en el suelos hammock ricos, pero necesita fertilización regular en la piedra caliza.
El escarabajo cubano se alimenta de las hojas. Las plántulas comienzan a producir frutos cuando tienen de 8 a 10 años de edad. La cosecha madura en otoño e invierno. [source - retrieved from on 1/09/2013]
