ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for primarily aiding in teaching born-again Christian religious beliefs includes a base and a hollow structure mounted in upstanding fashion on the base. The structure has a closed bottom, open top, and sidewall with spaced-apart upper and lower opaque wall sections and a middle transparent wall section. The structure defines a chamber representing a person's body. Liquid contained in the chamber represents the person's spirit and its color represents the state of the person's spirit. A pair of valves are respectively mounted to the base and structure. One valve communicates with the chamber bottom and is operable to drain liquid therefrom, representing the death of the person's spirit. The other valve communicates with the chamber middle and is operable to drain portions of the liquid therefrom, displaying the state of the person's spirit. A buoyant character representing the person's soul is movably disposed in the chamber and represents the separateness of the person's soul from the person's body and spirit and the aliveness of the person's soul. An object in the form of a buoyant plastic ball representing a state of unconfessed sin is movably disposed in the chamber. The apparatus also includes a mirror for reflecting an image of the open top of the chamber and an opaque cover for blocking at least a portion of the middle transparent wall section of the chamber.
