Evidence from Scripture: Cancer cells can transform into healthy cells (Gen1:2 part 6) August 29

At the outset of this month, I found myself deeply contemplating a concept that resonates with the power to change the very essence of malfunctioning or diseased cells within the human body. This intriguing idea centers around our ability to transmute these cells into healthy, rejuvenating cells – a process reminiscent of biblical narratives.

In numerous instances, we encounter the transformation of adversity into blessings. A parallel can be drawn from the biblical account of the Israelites during their time in the wilderness. Facing the menace of venomous snakes, the people found themselves on the brink of death. In this dire situation, Moses beseeched the Lord for guidance. Responding to his plea, the Lord instructed Moses to craft an image of a snake on a staff and raise it aloft. Those afflicted were told that gazing upon this elevated emblem would lead to their healing. The transformation was profound: an instrument of harm metamorphosed into a conduit of restoration and life. This episode is chronicled in the Book of Numbers, specifically Numbers 21:4-9.

Similarly, the concept of transformation finds resonance in the narrative of human sin. The primal transgression of Adam and Eve, disregarding divine command, introduced the scourge of death and sin into humanity. This inherent sin nature passed down through generations, leaving all humanity ensnared. Yet, a pivotal transformation was set into motion by the sacrificial act of Jesus Christ. The sinless embodiment of divinity took upon himself the mantle of human sin during his crucifixion. Remarkably, sin's grip could not retain him, and he emerged triumphant over death, resurrected on the third day. This profound transformation from death to life is a central theme in Christianity, discussed extensively in the New Testament, including passages like Romans 5:12-21.

A modern analogy to this transformation can be gleaned from the popular movie "The Matrix." In this narrative, Neo, the protagonist, infiltrates the control center of the Matrix, assuming the identity of an agent. Through this transformation, he gains the ability to confront and ultimately dismantle the controlling forces from within. The underlying principle of transformation from negativity to positivity, as witnessed in these examples, finds further validation through biblical doctrine. The teaching that "in the mouth of two or three witnesses, every word may be established" (2 Corinthians 13:1) reinforces the significance of these instances in Scripture.

In conclusion, the contemplation that sparked at the beginning of this month resounds with profound implications. Just as the Israelites' perilous circumstance was turned into an avenue for healing, and as Christ's crucifixion transformed the curse of sin into redemption, we too possess the capacity to convert negative circumstances into positive outcomes. This principle, echoed through the two instances in the Bible and affirmed through the scriptural wisdom of multiple witnesses, serves as a testament to the potential for transformation that exists within us and within evil itself.
