Physical Food and Spiritual Food

- What is physical food and what is spiritual food -

God is spirit, and He created the world of the flesh (physical world) after creating the world of spirits (spiritual world). “How did you [come to] know this?” “I know it because I heard it from the One who created them. What I am saying is, there is a physical world that is visible, and a spiritual world that is invisible. People and demons can kill the flesh that is visible, but they can't kill the spirit and soul inside a person. The reason is because as created beings, they are the same, and because spirit and soul are not flesh. However, God can destroy all [three] spirit, soul, and flesh (Ref. Mt 10:28).

There was no law in the beginnings of God's creation. Because there was no sin and no sinners at this time, law was not needed. Law was made because sin exists. Animals and plants, though they are creations like [people], live well even without laws. They are content with eating and living day-to-day, moment-to-moment. People have greed, so they continue to collect things despite [already] having those things. Also, there is “what’s yours” and “what’s mine.” There is no “being greater” or “being lower” between animals and plants, nor is there “what’s yours” or “what’s mine.” Even regarding land, there is no “your land” or “my land.”

I saw a video in which there was a person and [his] dogs at the North Pole. All the dogs were leashed. The owner of the dogs went to a faraway place and was not able to return due to heavy snow. He thought that the dogs would, of course, starve to death. Then, he returned after a long time had passed. But, surprisingly, the dogs were still alive. How did they stay alive? With their teeth, they cut off each other’s rope that bound them, and for the dog who couldn’t break the leash, they brought it food and fed it. In a place where all directions (north, south, east, west) had nothing but snow, they were able to live because there was freedom. They brought food to the weaker dogs as if they were their own flesh, and so, they were able to stay alive together. The owner who saw this was deeply impressed. In this way, dogs, which are animals, were desperately determined to eat and live.

Like other creations, people of the flesh work hard for physical food. However, people have spirits and souls, as well as perception. Thus, in order for [their] spirits and souls to live, they must eat spiritual food, that is, God’s word of life. This is what makes [people] different from animals and plants despite being creations like them.

No [longer] an elementary school student, but rather passing elementary and middle school, graduating university, and flying up to the spiritual world, now is the time we need to fly and walk above the waters. Thus, people must eat two kinds of food—spiritual and physical—to be able to go to the kingdom of heaven in the spiritual world.

All people, whoever it may be, have [these] three things: spirit, soul, and flesh. Flesh may die but spirits and souls live on. What is needed to be known, must be known.

Jesus promised marriage in the 4 gospels and Revelation. This marriage is not a marriage between flesh, but it is the marriage between spirit and flesh. This is the marriage in which my spirit becomes one with the spirits of heaven. When [we] become one with the spirits of heaven, [our] knowledge and actions will be better. This is what is fulfilled due to the seed of the spirit and the spiritual food.
