Article: “ Spiritual Science” (Article # 1)
By Dr. John Williams
 

Science is a body of knowledge of proven principles developed through a systematic study and research with acceptable and ample evidence.

A scientific body of knowledge has developed over a period of time, and has been universally accepted as “Sciences” and “Arts” such as:
SCIENCES
• Physics
• Chemistry
• Physiology
• Botany
• Zoology etc

ARTS
• Economics
• Politics
• History
• Philosophy etc
A complete list of all well developed sciences and arts are too numerous to mention.

One interesting but sad, thing to note is, that most of these Sciences and Arts developed parallel to each other, without being interconnected or synthesized into a total science. This missing link is nothing but the spiritual vacuum that separates them, but it can actually unify or tie them up together to understand and see, the total picture of the universe as a whole, as one entity.

The neglected Book of Books, called the Bible.

The purpose of this article is to point out that the Spiritual Laws contained in the Bible will adequately explain the reasons why calamities hit this earth frequently, and there are frequently some disorders or catastrophes, for which no rational explanation is given scientifically.

Just to note the series of events that are taking place centering around the globe, which are listed below can be seen as a parallel to what has been happening through the Biblical times during a span of 4000 years. In the Bible it is clearly pointed out that the cause of disasters and destructions that came upon the people of this world was because of their gross violation of the Spiritual Laws of God which have been clearly communicated to the people of those times. As the Bible says, the wages of sin is death, and sin is a violation of God’s law. All these facts put together clearly demonstrates the fact that it is God, the supreme spiritual being the creator of the whole universe, which is centered around the planet earth is the point of focus for God himself, because he created man as a spiritual being in his own image and after his likeness. Nothing seems to be more important to the supreme spiritual being than to love and to have fellowship with human beings on the planet earth, and to keep them in comfort and safety, and provide everything that they will need to enjoy life and to exercise dominion over the whole world. Initially God created man to live forever and ever without death, but as we read in the Bible death came as a penalty of sin, which is nothing but the violation of God’s Spiritual Laws. The recent research finding of stem cells would prove that these cells have the ability to recreate the human tissues and the organs, so that the human body will not deteriorate and die.

It is also interesting to note even from the first chapter of the Bible, the supreme spiritual being, created and ruled the whole universe, by a set of spiritual laws. The whole universe was created by the word of God, which denotes, that word was spiritual and it has power to create. This law has been amply explained in the Bible even in the context of “The Faith” by stating that the confession or the vocalization of faith is essential to get the results. There is also a verse, which says “the word of God will not return void without accomplishing the purpose for which it is sent forth”.

As we notice in the Bible, every time the human beings violated a law of God, which was expressly given to them, there were dire consequences as cautioned by God in advance as a clear warning not to indulge in such prohibited acts, referred to as sins. The Bible says, “the wages of sin is death”, but the gift of God is eternal life. In this short article it is impossible to condense all the spiritual laws that govern the nature or the universe. But we should note the spiritual laws, which are clearly stated in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation in different contexts, in different ages covering all kinds of situations people will be facing on this earth during their life. Actually, ignorance of law is no excuse because God communicated effectively through a wide range of channels all the spiritual laws, which would affect their lives significantly either for better or worse.

In conclusion, the purpose of this preliminary article on the subject of Spiritual Science, which is nothing but a body of spiritual laws, which control the whole universe by the supreme spiritual being who is referred to as God in the Bible. Generally Bible is considered to be a religious book, but actually it is the Book of Books and the Science of Sciences, because this body of spiritual science is embodied with all the other scientific laws. Few specific spiritual laws are listed below in order to introduce the spiritual science in a way that anyone can easily understand, even if they do not believe:
• God is a spirit & is the most powerful spiritual being.
• Man is a spiritual being and has been created by God himself.
• Man has a spirit, body and soul (the soul in turn consists of the mind, will and emotion).
• When a person dies the spirit and the soul leaves the body, because it will exist eternally.
• God the most supreme spiritual being is just, fair and equitable in every sense of the word, and if God and the spiritual laws which govern the universe is not perfect and just, the word “justice and perfect” will have no meaning at all.
• Faith is another spiritual law of great significance, because it is said that all things are possible to him that believes.
• Sin is an important spiritual act because committing a sin will be a direct violation of God’s spiritual law and there is a penalty for it.
• Righteousness, Goodness, Holiness etc. are the characteristics of the supreme spiritual being that governs the whole universe.
• The man and the earth has been corrupted from the beginnings of times by sin which is nothing but unrighteousness, evil and sin.
• Sin is a transgression of God’s law, but sin is not a term that is in the vocabulary or usage of man in any discipline.
• People tend to explain sin away by using other words such as a mistake, a wrongful act, an inappropriate act etc., in a sophisticated way.
• In order to really understand the spiritual laws that govern the universe, the fundamental issue is to recognize sin or unrighteousness, which is a direct and gross violation of God’s law of holiness, justice and righteousness, and therefore, it should be given serious attention because of the clear statement made in the book of spiritual science, the Bible, which states that sin will separate man from God and the wages of sin is death.

The purpose of this article, which may be questioned and be subject to a lot of criticism by the intellectuals in all the fields of sciences and arts, because those who do not believe in God and follow his laws are already held captives and their eyes are blinded by Satan the supreme evil force who is operating against the plans of God particularly pertaining to the human beings whom he has created even before the angels in his own order to love him and to be loved by him and have a close fellowship and communion with him. Jealousy is the route of this constant war between God, the angelic forces and human beings created in the image of God, and all the fallen angels representing one third of the angelic beings which are rebelled against God when they wanted to ascend even above God out of pride, for which they were cast out of heaven.

As long as we recognize the existence of God’s good and positive spiritual laws and Satan’s evil and negative spiritual laws, we can understand the calamities and the destructions that take place in this world, in which the human beings become the victims.

It is only a serious study of the collection of all the spiritual laws whether it is good or bad which together constitute the spiritual science, without any negative opinion, belief, bias or prejudice, will unfold the secrets of the spiritual laws that constitute what is termed in this article as “The Spiritual Science”, which has the answers and the explanations for everything that is happening in the realm of the universe, the world and the human history!

In the Bible which neglected and subjected to ridicule by the so called educated people who are called the fools in the Bible by saying that a person who says there is no God is a fool.

In the Bible, we can see clearly that from the beginning to the end, that every time people violated God’s laws, God’s wrath was poured upon them in the form of a natural catastrophe or phenomenon such as:
• Death for eating the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden
• Birth pain for disobeying God
• Hard work throughout life for killing (his brother)
• Destruction by flood for living in sin
• Death in the wilderness for turning away from true God, worshipping idols
• Mass destruction by fire and brimstone for living in gross sin and particularly committing the sin of homosexuality
• Being held captives and put to hard labor for disobeying God
• Being subject to several plagues in Egypt for rebelling against God and denying him
• Going through wilderness for 40 years and not reaching the promised land for sin of idolatry and adultery
• The land being split open and being swallowed alive
• Dropping dead for lying to the man of God
• Being hanged in gallows for plotting to kill all the Jews
• All the heathens being destroyed for blinding the eyes of Samson and for torturing him
• Losing battles and being slaughtered in 1000s when the heathens fought God’s children
• Being destroyed by fire, flood, famine when the people rebelled against God and destroyed him
• Being prophesied in the book of Revelation that there will be three kinds of judgments in the end-times which period will be clearly marked by the re-gathering of the Jews scattered all over the world, (When the nation of Israel will be formed, as it did in 1948)

Seven Seal Judgment prophesied in the book of Revelation, which will be poured upon the earth at the end-times

• Hail and fire mingled with blood
• Part of the trees and all green grass being burnt up
• Great mountain burning with fire and being cast into the sea
• The third part of the sea becoming blood
• The third part of the creatures in the sea dying
• The third part of the ships being destroyed
• A great star falling from heaven
• The third part of the water being wormwood and many men dying
• The third part of the sun being smitten
• The third part of the moon and stars being darkened
• The bottomless pit being opened and smoke coming out of it
• Sun and the air becoming dark
• Locusts and Scorpions coming out of the pits
• The third part of the men being slain by the horsemen etc.

As we skim through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, we see a pattern of God’s wrath being poured upon the people on this earth in a natural catastrophic way, which is very similar to the kinds of things we witness now in the form of disasters by water, fire, air, earth tremors etc.
