“The Word, the first offspring of God, through which all things are made and by which the many dimensions of time and space are held together, was in deed the only bridge between death and life for this planet’s creatures, once death had taken hold of them.

“God loved those creatures with such powerful compassion that He allowed His Word to become as one of them, yet without their defects of corruption.

“Not all creatures are brought into existence after the fashion that you and I were,” continued Gabriel.

“The co-inhabitants, of the planet we are discussing, have the gift of reproduction. God created these creatures as two discrete types, male and female. Through their union, others of their species are brought into existence.

“Those whose union produces this new offspring pass many physical properties on to their offspring. When the first of these creatures were deceived by Satan, their actions, which were contrary to God’s clear instructions, allowed an element to enter into their bodies that would cause decay from their created state and eventually death.
