Editorial: Why Transhumanism is the complete anti-God agenda.
God has already provided us with the means of our perfection.
Transhumanism is the complete anti-God agenda.
Transhumanists preach a new gospel, a gospel of man-without-god: this gospel preaches that humans will perfect themselves by means of genetic editing and technological enhancements, and that they will even attain eternal life by being able to upload their brains.
But this is really only the latest version of the old lie, told by the snake in the garden of Eden who tempted Eve, “You will not surely die,” the serpent told her. “For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, knowing good and evil.” Genesis 3:5
The serpent promised Eve two things: wisdom (God knows that… your eyes will be opened… knowing good and evil) and that Adam and Eve would effectively be god-like. (Elohim אֱלֹהִים - the word translated gods in this passage (KJV) or God in modern bibles, can mean God, or gods. You see, Elohim is plural, and definitely means God in some contexts and gods in others in the Bible; it is ambiguous in Genesis 3:5.)
Noah Harari, indeed, the darling and prophet of the WEF (World Economic Forum) is one of the chief proponents of the transhumanist gospel, and truly is an evangelist of this false gospel, trying to win people to a godless lie. His latest book is called, “Homo Deus.” Man-God. This is no accident: this hubristic idea, that human beings can become gods, is what transhumanism promises.
Transhumanism is a false gospel. You see, even if was possible for men to do such enhancements perfectly, the only perfection genetic editing and enhancement can possibly provide is the perfection of human imperfection. Perhaps this is the meaning of the number 666 in the Bible (Revelation chapter 13). 7 in Hebrew and in the Bible is the number of God’s perfection, in Hebrew Shabat means 7 and also Sabbath, the seventh day, the day of rest, which is the perfect rest of God, which is what Jesus offers us through the forgiveness of sins attained on the cross. This is the only Sabbath rest available to us as humans.
This is why 666 is the perfection of imperfection. It is the perfection of the human flesh without God.
You see, Jesus has already provided the means for human perfection by dying, rising again, and pouring out His Spirit on all flesh - and this is the true gospel, the good news of the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven.
By having our sins forgiven and thereby becoming righteous in God’s sight, through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, we can become perfect in God’s sight, perfectly justified.
This is good news - a great message - evangelion εὐαγγέλιον, the joyful pronouncement of God’s kingdom - evangelion really means a joyful proclamation, and was used of messages from the Emperor himself proclaimed throughout an Empire by heralds - evangelion in greek carries these connotations. How wonderful it is that this Kingdom of Heaven is generously provided for us free of charge by Jesus, who died on the cross for us, who gave his life, not to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him! Yet to gain it we must lay our lives down for Jesus - be willing to give everything to gain the pearl of great price.
God, not man, is the judge of all things.
Beware false gospels that promise only death and damnation.
Turn to Jesus Christ while you can, friends!
May the Lord have mercy on us all.
