Reply To: Christians, It's Not A Sin To Change Your Beliefs!

A member of the Nazirene Disciple Forum sent me the link to an article entitled Christians: It's Not A Sin To Change Your Beliefs -- which raises some interesting questions that are not addressed in the article.   The author attempts to ignore the paradoxes of Christian teachings by stating: Imagine if John Piper suddenly altered his views on Calvinism and became an Arminian, or if Mark Driscoll publicly became an egalitarian? They would be publicly rejected and humiliated, and their followers would be lost, angry, and confused.  But what if John Piper's vision of the world is as valid as that of the opposite Arminian positions?   And what if the vision of Mark Driscoll is as valid as the Egalitarian perspective?   Moreover, what if there is an important reason why the Rev. John Piper perceives the teachings of the scriptures from a totally opposite perspective than that of the Arminian perspective?   And there is an important reason why the Rev. Mark Driscoll's vision and perception of the scriptures is totally opposite to that which can be portrayed as the Egalitarian perspective?   Does it matter?  Moreover -- and perhaps most important -- is the fact that if each of these paradoxical opposites present a valid truth, then isn't it imperative for the seeker/disciple to understand not only why these different and opposite perspectives exist -- but also why whole groups of sincere believers are locked into each of these divided perspectives? (see The Enigma Of The Segmented Mind).  Moreover, does embracing one perspective over the opposite fulfill the objective of the scriptures?  

The author of the article, Stephen Mattson, seems to be suggesting that both the cause of these different perspectives, as well as what is revealed in the perspectives themselves, doesn't seem to matter -- and that Christians should just accept these differences at face value without explanation or statement of understanding.   In the typical liberal -- non-thinking -- ignorant of consequences -- disconnect from all causal factors -- devoid of all reasoning mindset -- author Stephen Mattson promotes the typical non-contemplative -- accept at face-value school of thought -- or, perhaps better portrayed in the words, the liberal anti-thought mindset.   But, when rightly understood, even what can be portrayed as the liberal anti-thought mindset has a causal factor that inhibits them from even contemplating the result and consequences of their actions.        

In the opening of the article, author Stephen Mattson appears to focus on the issue of homosexuality and marriage equality -- i.e., which seems to portray the issue of same-sex marriage.   Which, to a contemplative seeker, should provoke the question as to why the scriptures reject same-sex unions?   Was the biblical authors just a group of homophobes?  Or is there a deeper meaning and purpose in the Divine Marriage of man and woman?  Jesus taught that unless you bring about the next stage of birth, that you cannot enter into Life in the Kingdom -- which should raise the question in the contemplative mind whether there is a higher purpose to sex that same-sex unions can't fulfill?   What if -- from a holographic perspective -- the sexual interaction of man and woman and the process of birth is a pattern that must be embraced on a higher level of being in order to bring about Wholeness and achieve the next stage of birth which Jesus taught was one of the primary objectives of life in this world?   And what if, in the same way that a same-sex union can't produce a physical offspring of the union, neither can a same-sex union bring about the necessary transformation that takes place in what can be portrayed as the Morphic Field where opposites merge into ONE (see Gender Blindness And The Process Of Birth).   

In the dynamics of the male/female union with the potential of opposites to merge in the creation of the necessary foundation of body, mind and spirit -- where the divided pattern of Adam and Eve are re-merged into the pattern of Adam/Eve in "one flesh" -- the potential to fulfill the requirement set forth in the Gospel of Thomas is presented in the words: Jesus said to them, "When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female"   Is it cruel to recognize the fact that if male and female are divided (paired opposite) natures of man's higher soul reality -- and that the foundation of achieving the next stage of birth that manifests the soul in the body-vessel is holographically parallel to the process of physical conception and birth -- that in the same way that two men or two women can't produce offspring, that this same dynamics of opposites is the foundation of the next stage of birth that Jesus taught was necessary to enter into Life (see The Holographic Pattern Of Sex)?   

Can we expect liberals such as Stephen Mattson who appears to embrace all things at face value, to have contemplated the esoteric reality of sex and birth?   Or even that there is an esoteric reality of sex and birth that is extremely relevant in what the modern emerging science has portrayed as a holographic reality?   If the vision of the mystic which has been confirmed by the modern physicist is true with respect to the holographic reality of this world as a pattern which has the potential to reveal a higher reality that transcends the organic limitations of man and woman, then can we just throw out the pattern and expect the Laws of Creation to be suspended with respect to the higher purpose of sex and gender opposites?    Would we declare all fertility clinics and experts homophobic and out of touch with reality, if they failed to counsel same-sex couples on producing an offspring of the same-sex union?   If two men made an appointment with a fertility clinic and complained that their sexual relationship has produced no offspring, what would the conclusion be?  On a secondary note, author Stephen Mattson also lists a change of religious beliefs with respect to the infanticide of abortion -- wherein we can conclude that those people who will murder the unborn, also place no emphasis on producing the necessary third-force dynamic offspring of a Divine Marriage (see Index To The Divine Marriage) that initiates the next stage of birth?    

Stephen Mattson and the uber-liberal left would have us believe that the Laws of Nature as manifest in a holographic reality of mankind is irrelevant -- and that by virtue of the Tinkerbell Effect, that wishful thinking can suspend man's higher reality.   Which provokes the question which is of paramount importance to the contemplative inquiring mind: Can man's higher reality be understood ONLY by those who recognize the conflicting opposites of the Forbidden Fruit of the Tree of Duality -- and in the equation of the dynamic merger of opposites that must be nourished by the Fruit of the Tree of Life, can the understanding of man's higher spiritual reality and being ONLY be realized by the seeker of Truth and Life in the Kingdom?    What is clear is that the biblical authors continually warned the entry-level faith-based Christians that the higher reality of the soul was impossible and inconceivable for man in his "natural" organic condition of mind to comprehend (see Mystery Of The Gospel) -- warning the very congregation of believers that Paul himself indoctrinated into the Gospel, that if he was to speak to them plainly about the  True Spiritual Meaning Of The Gospel, that they would reject his witness as utter "foolishness"!

When author Stephen Mattson states that its OK for Christians to change their religious beliefs -- and embrace the anti-thinking liberal mindset -- what is clear is that Stephen Mattson does not at all understand the very purpose and nature of religion itself!!!   If we pose the question: What is a Spiritual Religion?   We would quickly find that one of the problems that modern man has in comprehending the validity of religion is seen in the fact that he cannot differentiate and understand the marked differences between philosophy as a theory that is ascribed to, quasi-religious-philosophy which is a faith-based belief system, and genuine religion which is a mindset and lifestyle necessary to prove one's philosophy.    And from this perspective, the vast differences between faith-based religious-philosophy and genuine religion which was embraced by the core visionaries of the Age of Reason, opens the Pandora's Box of the foundation of man's thinking.   The whole concept of religion as a means to prove the Truth -- in contradistinction to blind-faith and speculative belief -- has virtually no place in modern man's understanding.   In many instances, those who are looked upon as esteemed clergy and religious experts and scholars, are merely parroting the dogmatic opium of Roman Emperors who oversaw the corruption of the Bible (see BibleCorruption.com), and ruled over the doctrines of the Church (see Religion Of Roman Emperors).  Therefore, what we erroneously define as religion today, is in reality little more than speculative religious philosophy that is counterfeit from a genuine religious perspective -- and this fact is simply inconceivable to the modern believer who is of the position that he is required to exercise blind acceptance as a test of his faith.   And perhaps even more important is the fact that many of the core visionaries of the Age of Enlightenment -- men and women of evolved Intellect and Reason -- some of whom were the very Deists and Masons who formed the foundational bedrock of the American Constitution -- understood the counterfeit nature of the Church -- because they had personal access to the Pure Source of Truth that should have been the purpose and objective of Christianity to act as guides in TheWay.

To understand the essence of a Spiritual Religion vs quasi-religious-philosophy, you must first understand why Jesus condemned and rejected the Jewish teachers and those portrayed as"...experts in religious law" as being spiritually counterfeit.   The allegation of Jesus' words is seen in the fact that there exists what he called a Key of Knowledge -- and when this Key of Knowledge is properly applied, then the person possesses the ability to enter the Inner Kingdom -- the portal of which is within the seekers own mind and being.   And this fact is presented in the words that Jesus said to the Jewish authorities: "...For you hide the key to knowledge from the people. You don't enter the Kingdom yourselves, and you prevent others from entering."    Thus, the objective of a Spiritual Religion is to reveal and properly apply the Key of Knowledge in such a way, that the person gains access to the Kingdom -- which Kingdom Jesus said was equally within each of us (see Luke 17:20-21 @ http://GateOfEden.com ).   And the fact that the carnal Jews who, in their very limited and carnal understanding of the scriptures, was teaching the people to look for the Kingdom of God to come outwardly upon the earth -- in the same way that Christians today look for the Second Coming -- it is seen that the leaders of both the Jews and the Christians had in fact hidden and thrown away the Key of Knowledge.   Failing to fulfill the requirement of entering the Inner Kingdom themselves -- which by definition made them blind guides who "...prevent others from entering."  And because the Church followed in the footsteps of the Pharisees, and itself threw away the Key of Knowledge under Roman rule, these same words apply to modern Christians as much as the Jews who Jesus rejected and condemned. 

The process of birth in the Kingdom which Jesus portrayed as entering into Life, is dependent upon the merger of the pattern of opposites as allegorically portrayed in the symbolism of Adam and Eve -- the eating of the Fruit of the Tree of Life -- the return to Spiritual Eden (see  http://GateOfEden.com ) through the application of what Jesus portrayed as the  Key of Knowledge to open the "narrow strait gate" within the seeker/disciples own mind and being.   And, in the words of Jesus: "But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and join to his wife; And they two shall be one flesh: so then they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no one separate" (Mark 10:6-9).   But it is not until we begin to understand that man and woman are dynamic halves of a single unit that has the potential to bring forth life -- both on a physical, mental and spiritual level of being -- that we can begin to understand the dynamic application of the scriptures within our own mind and being within the merger and union of opposites and the process of birth in the Kingdom that is the fulfillment of the Gospel Objectives.

A most important teaching on the coming of the Kingdom which was removed from the Gospels by the Church Of Roman Emperors, is preserved in the Second Epistle of Clement where Jesus teaches on the coming of the Kingdom in the words: “Let us expect, therefore, hour by hour, the kingdom of God in love and righteousness, since we know not the day of the appearing of God. For the Lord Himself, being asked by one when His kingdom would come, replied, 'When two shall be one, that which is without as that which is within, and the male with the female, neither male nor female’”.    How can  "...the male with the female [be] neither male nor female’”?    The answer: When the two truly become "one flesh" within a the dynamics of a Spiritual Divine Marriage  (see Index To The Divine Marriage) -- which holographically has the potential to merge the husband/wife into a spiritual embryo in the pattern of the physical embryo that becomes a fetus.   Can such a husband and wife achieve the next stage of birth that is made reference to in the Gospel?   Only when they live the necessary Consecrated Life in TheWay -- making their body and mind into the Final Temple -- properly applying the Key of Knowledge to open the "narrow strait gate" by entering within the Holy of Holies within their own mind and being.    

In Reply To: Sexual Violence And The Church - The Folly Of Sojourners Mag.

Jim Wallis and Sojourners have begun a campaign to bring about an end to what they portray as the Sexual Violence And The Church -- which violence they attribute to Masculine Christianity.   But what is the cause of violence -- sexual and otherwise?   If violence is a spiritual and mental disease that plagues mankind, can man's condition of violence be cured, without first understanding the cause of the disease?

While wisdom and spiritual knowledge can save the soul, when man's religious leaders are blind and totally deficient in knowledge and understanding, such misguided well-meaning men will lead you into the abyss of even greater suffering and despair.   And when rightly understood, this same plight of mankind can be expressed in the wisdom that those who fail to learn the lessons of man's past, are doomed to repeat them -- over, and over, and over again.   Why?   Because in the original teachings of Jesus, an understanding of the Natural Laws was laid down with respect to the cycles of life -- Natural Laws that controlled all events and occurrences in life -- and it was recognized that the same souls are returned back to life to confront their own past Conditions Of Birth.   From the perspective of pop-culture, this can be portrayed in the words: What goes around, comes around -- or, from life to life one's own chickens come home to roost -- which can be expressed in the biblical reality: "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows” (Gal 6:7 NIV).

The disciples asked Jesus about the man who was born blind -- and whether his blindness was caused by his own previous sin prior to being born into his present life, or the sin of his parents (see Biblically Based Mindset).   In their ignorance of the Natural Laws, Sojourners takes the position that a man's actions in the matter of sin, should not come back upon him.   When Jesus healed the man he warned:  "Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee" (John 5:14 KJV).  Which causes us to ask: What force of the Laws would bring a worse condition upon us, if we sin again after being healed?   If it is true that we create the conditions of our life by virtue of our own actions -- and the conditions of our life is intended to be a corrective force of healing which invokes a change in behavior -- then shouldn't we learn about the relationship of sin as the causal factor in the conditions of the life that we are presently living? 

Jim Wallis and the people at Sojourners do not understand this fact of life.  In their profound ignorance of the Natural Laws, they assert that it is not right for a man or woman to reap what they have themselves sown -- i.e., to inherit the fruit of their own ways.   And if we inquire as to why Jim Wallis and the people at Sojourners are ignorant of the Laws of God?   It is because the Church itself is founded upon what can best be portrayed as The Religion Of Roman Emperors.   Which is based upon a man-made dogmatic foundation that is totally adverse and in conflict with the original Biblically Based Mindset.   What this means is that the modern Church has totally nullified the original Gospel teachings by promulgating man-made doctrines which promote violence and spiritual disenfranchisement.    And what we observe in the world is the effects of the spiritual disease which has totally undermined the original teachings of Jesus and TheWay. 

In the article entitled The Ten Words, the wishful thinking of Sojourners is very much within the scope of what is called The Tinkerbell Effect.    Which is defined as something that "...you think or believe that something is true or will happen, strictly on the basis that you wish it were true or will happen."  While Sojourners, and those who wish for world-peace and tranquility to come upon mankind, without a knowledge of the causal factors and the Natural Laws which control all events and encounters of man in this world, the wishful thinking of Sojourners is little more than just another example of blind faith in The Tinkerbell Effect.    And perhaps the key to bringing about change, is in the words of Mahatma Gandhi who correctly stated that change can only be brought about when those who desire change become "...the change they want to see in the world"!   Which means that if Jim Wallis and Sojourners truly want to see change in the world with respect to violence against not only women -- but against all people -- then Sojourners must begin by leading the believers along the path of returning to Gospel First Principles.   

The new campaign of Jim Wallis and Sojourners (faith in action for social justice), is to bring an end to Sexual Violence And The Church.   And while I totally agree with Sojourners position that all violence against all our brothers and sisters worldwide should cease, without understanding the cause of human violence -- the naive good intentions of Sojourners will bring about the same results as the Just Say No campaign in the War On Drugs.   Without understanding the causal factors, not only can no progress be made, but often one's efforts make the original problem even worse.    And if Jim Wallis and his people at Sojourners had even an ounce of insight into the causal factors of the systemic violence as being driven by the Natural Laws of Creation -- and if Sojourners possessed a degree of spiritual knowledge with respect to the Original Gospel teachings of Jesus and TheWay -- only then could Sojourners vision of man overcoming the forces of violence that immerses our culture and much of this world in abject moral depravity and indifference, could man even begin to overcome the malady of perpetual suffering and despair.    

When rightly understood, the only possible way to end man's legacy of violence from the Sojourners perspective, would require the suspension and nullification of God's Laws that were put into effect at the Alpha of Creation.    When rightly portrayed, Jim Wallis and the people at Sojourners want God to repent from the system of development that He brought forth and ordained.   And while this may sound rather bazaar to the people at Sojourners, what they fail to understand is the fact that there is an important reason for what man portrays as evil in the world -- i.e., to put it in another way: Evil has a higher purpose.    But to even begin to understand the causal factors of evil and violence, the intelligent Christian would first have to abandon the dogmatic limitations of The Religion Of Roman Emperors, and begin to restore the essence of Truth within the foundations of the Church.   When rightly understood, what man sees as evil is the effect of a spiritual disease -- a disease that has been perpetuated through the ignorance of the Natural Laws which control all events in this world.   And this state of abject spiritual ignorance that promotes what man calls evil, begins with man's ignorance with respect to man's own Conditions Of Birth!    Not until this world is understood as a Living Bio-Feedback Organism where each individual person is confronted with the actions of their own past -- i.e.,  "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows” (Gal 6:7 NIV) -- as expressed in the words of the early Church Father Origen where he stated that “Every soul... comes into this world strengthened by the victories or weakened by the defeats of its previous life” (Origen, De Principiis) -- can mankind even begin to prevail over the evil and violence that has immersed him in times of great suffering throughout his long history upon the earth, without first understanding the purpose of evil?   

Each man and woman is in fact the lost prodigal son and daughter of Creator-God.   And when mankind ventured into this world that is portrayed as the Far Country, there were a series of Natural Laws which were put into effect that would not only bring about man's return to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination (see GateOfEden.com), but these Laws were intended to drive fallen man to the required state of Wholeness and Perfection (see The Laws That Perfect Mankind) that would enable his Spiritual Restoration and Return to his Source of Being.   But these important teachings became suppressed and even outlawed, by The Religion Of Roman Emperors.   Which means that the wishful (Tinkerbell) thinking of Sojourners can't become a reality in the life and existence of mankind, until the Church first returns to the Original teachings and spiritual objectives of the Gospel.   Quoting from The Fourth Fatal Mistake of the Church's rejection of the Key Of Knowledge: 

When did the corruption of the scriptures begin?   There is strong evidence which confirms the charge that the Gospels were corrupted as soon as they were given into the hands of many of the Gentile Churches.   Something which no sincere believer today should take lightly is the charge against Christians by Celsus, the second century Epicurean philosopher, who alleged that: "Certain Christians, like men who are overcome by the fumes of wine and care not in the least what they say, alter the original text of the Gospels so that they admit of various and almost indefinite readings. And this, I suppose, they have done out of worldly policy, so that when we press an argument home, they might have the more scope for their pitiful evasions".   Celsus concludes that because of the wholesale rewriting and corruption of the text of the scriptures, that this fraud has made all of Christianity a bogus lie: "It is clear to me that the writings of the Christians are a lie, and that your fables are not well-enough constructed to conceal this monstrous fiction: I have even heard that some of your interpreters, as if they had just come out of a tavern, are onto the inconsistencies and, pen in hand, alter the originals writings, three, four and several more times over in order to be able to deny the contradictions in the face of criticism." (R.J.Hoffmann's Celsus: On The True Doctrine, Oxford University Press, 1987).   

 

What teachings were removed from the Gospels?   From a spiritual perspective, the most important.    Moreover, when that segment of the Church which portrayed itself as Orthodox entered into a covenant with the Emperor Constantine, they used the most corrupted versions of the New Testament as a starting point, and then further corrupted the text in order to make it support the tenets of Pagan Rome.    But herein lies the problem: If the Gospels were corrupted -- with many of the most important spiritual teachings edited or removed in order to make them support the tenets of Pagan Rome -- then how can the modern Christian even begin to know the Truth?   The answer is found in the words:  “Then many of the Jewish leaders who heard him say these things began believing him to be the Messiah. Jesus said to them, 'You are truly my disciples if you live as I tell you to, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free’” (John 8:30-32 TLB).    And if we augment this statement with the text of the that translation known as The Message, we can begin to understand the solution to the dilemma -- i.e., "If you stick with this, living out what I tell you, you are my disciples for sure.  Then you will experience for yourselves the truth, and the truth will free you."   The key message is in the words that the seeker must "live out what [Jesus taught] ...then you will experience for yourselves the truth".   And in this respect, the Law is that you can never possess any greater Truth than you are willing to live and manifest in your daily life.   So while it is true that the Gospel was corrupted in order to make it support the dogma of the Emperor Constantine and Pagan Rome, it is also true that with the restoral of the suppressed teachings and a desire on the part of Christians to "live out what [Jesus taught]" , there is the promise of the Gospel that "...you will experience for yourselves the truth". 

With the corrupting of the biblical texts and the hunting down of the Spiritual Christians as heretics because they refused to adhere to the dogma of Pagan Rome, the 4^th century Church of Constantine put to death the Spirit of the Church (see The Corruption Of The Church).   Yet, it's Spiritual Castration which totally alienated all generations of future Christian believers from comprehending even what was left of a corrupted and spiritually sanitized New Testament (see Bible Corruption), was implemented in the 6^th century.   As an example of how the Christian world was literally forced to adhere to the dogma of the emperors, when the doctrine of the pre-existent soul was outlawed by the Emperor Justinian, the Britannica confirms that the emperor then forced his will upon the Church when he "...banished the pope to Egypt , and afterwards to an island, until he accepted the Council, which he ultimately did" (see http://Ebionite.com/reincarnation.htm ).    After relenting to the will of the emperor, and finely accepting the decree of the emperor after seven months of imprisonment, it is reported that the pope met with an untimely death before he could even return to the Vatican.

 Peace can only be achieved when the Church is restored to its position as the Light of the World -- and this can only be accomplished by a restoral of the Original Teachings and Core Gospel First Principles!

Who Wrote The Bible And Why It Matters

In the recent Huffington Post Blog article entitled Who Wrote The Bible And Why It Matters, by prof. Bart D. Ehrman, what we have should more appropriately be portrayed as Prof. Ehrman's Confession of Ignorance.   While I have attempted on a number of occasions to communicate with Bart Ehrman -- to portray him as a  Distinguished Professor of Religious Studies, would be like portraying those people who make burgers at McDonald's, as fine cuisine chefs -- which is why I often portray the body of biblical scholars as pseudo-authorities.      Quoting from The Prodigal Son And The Theist/Deist Perception Of Creation:    

Deists such as Thomas Paine often portrayed the literal text of the scriptures as being untrue and not historically accurate.   And when we pose the question: What does the Bible state?   The Apostle Paul portrayed the scriptures as the "letter that killeth" (2 Cor 3:6) and "Jewish fables" (Tit 1:14) -- stating that the written text of the scriptures was purely allegorical.   In the article  An Inconvenient Truth the fact is presented that the purpose of the scriptures was to preserve and conceal the esoteric knowledge within the garb of allegory to protect it from the unenlightened carnal believers and their pseudo-religious leaders (see An Inconvenient Truth).   The enlightened few have always pointed out the countless inconsistencies which were purposely inserted into the literal text of the scriptures which the critics portray as being so numerous and unbelievable to a rational minded person, that is was pointed out by the Church Father Origen when he portrayed the literal text as virtually worthless -- i.e., “Scripture contains an unhistorical element in-woven with the history, in order that the worthlessness of the latter may drive us to seek the spiritual meaning” (Origen quoted under Origen Adamntius; The Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics).   Further explaining in De Principiis that: “Where the word found that things done according to the history could be adapted to these mystical senses, he made use of them concealing from the multitude the deeper meaning; but where in the narrative of the development of super-sensual things, there did not follow the performance of those certain events which were already indicated by the mystical meaning, the scripture interwove in the history the account of some event that did not take place, sometimes what could not have happened; sometimes what could but did not.”   And that the carnal mind of both the blind believer, as well as the skeptic critic, both attempt to ignore these important inconsistencies (see Inconsistencies Purposely Written Into Body Of Scriptural Text), and attempt to read the scriptures as an historical account, inhibits them from perceiving and understanding the great truths that lie concealed beneath the allegorical texts.   And in the proper application of the scriptures as the Key of Knowledge, the Church Father Origen writes: “But all the narrative portion, relating either to the marriages, or to the begetting of the children, or to battles of different kinds, or to any other histories whatever, what else can they be supposed to be, save the forms and figures of hidden and sacred things? As men, however, make little effort to exercise their intellect, or imagine that they possess knowledge before they really learn, the consequence is that they never begin to have knowledge". 

What does this mean?   What it means is that "...all the narrative portion [of the scriptures], relating either to the marriages, or to the begetting of the children, or to battles of different kinds, or to any other histories whatever", do not at all pertain to historical accounts of man's more distant past -- but rather, to the Forces and Laws that are presently working within man's own mind and being.   Why?   How could Origen who was called the prince of Christian learning second only to the Apostles themselves, state that the historical interpretation of the scriptures is "worthless"?  And that what is presented in the written text as marriages, the begetting of children, and the many various wars and battles are not at all historical -- but rather, an allegorical portrayal of the Forces and Laws working within one's own mind and being?   The answer is this: A truly spiritual people have no need of an historical account in their search for Truth -- but rather, their primary concern is to tap into the Inner Source of Knowledge which the disciples portrayed as the True Prophet.    And because man's pseudo-authorities of this world remain virtually ignorant of the profound reality portrayed in Origen's statement that "...As men, however, make little effort to exercise their intellect, or imagine that they possess knowledge before they really learn, the consequence is that they never begin to have knowledge" -- indicating and confirming the reality that the Source of Knowledge already dwells within man -- in his failing to understand the Cosmology of his own mind and being, the vast majority of pseudo-intellectuals merely alienate themselves from the True Source of Knowledge within themselves that remains a perpetual enigma.              

If Bart D. Ehrman were an expert, then he would understand the reasons why the written text of the scriptures are in many instances a complete fabrication -- to the degree that the man known as second only to the Apostles, portrayed the written text as "worthless" -- and the author's of the epistles portrayed the written text as the "letter that killeth" (2 Cor 3:6) and "Jewish fables" (Tit 1:14).   And the fact that the pseudo-experts are even more clueless than those who they portray as "the most rabid fundamentalists" as to the true meaning and purpose of the scriptures, is indicative of the reality that modern man is shackled in the abyss of self-ignorance (see SoulSelf.org) which the author of the Gospel of Thomas portrays as a condition of death brought about by the abject poverty of mind -- i.e., "...But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty".    Bart D. Ehrman is a professor in an esteemed university -- and yet, he remains clueless as to the nature and reality of the body of knowledge which lies concealed within the allegorical text of scriptures which he is alleged to be an expert!!!   Yet, he is just as ignorant as to the true meaning of these scriptures, as those who he portrays as "...rabid fundamentalists."  If Bart Ehrman had merely answered his email, I could have opened up a whole new world of understanding that would have totally amazed him.    Especially in view of the fact that modern Christianity is little more than The Religion Of Roman Emperors which was forcibly imposed upon the Church (see Religion Of Roman Emperors).   And that without understanding how to apply the Key Of Knowledge to the scriptures, it will remain impossible to perceive and understand not only the true meaning of the scriptures, but the meaning of Life Itself!!!  

Does it matter?  Does it matter if we know the true meaning of the scriptures?   The fact that what lies concealed beneath the text of the written word is the most important body of knowledge in the life of mankind -- and that this body of knowledge remains unknown in our esteemed colleges and universities -- and without this essential knowledge, no other wisdom and knowledge possesses any real value or significance -- means that modern-man is merely squandering away his greatest opportunities of life on worthless dung of no real meaning!

China Copies Church & Roman Emperor - Bans Reincarnation

China Copies Church & Roman Emperor - Bans Reincarnation

In the recent article entitled: China Bans Buddhist Monks In Tibet From Reincarnation, author Chris V. Thangham writes: "Dictatorship and totalitarianism at its worst, China has banned Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnating without government permission...".   Yet, what Chris fails to mention is the fact that the Communist Chinese are merely copying a play-book right out of the history of the Christian Church.    After all, history has proven that the banning of reincarnation has worked for the Church -- so why not also the Chinese?  

In the case of China, the government reserves the right to choose the next Dali Lama.   In the case of Christianity, the Roman Emperors who ruled over the dogma of the Church demanded that they have the right to dictate to God the fate of all souls when they pass from this life (see The Religion Of Roman Emperors).    That the Emperor Justinian changed the course of the Church in the 6th century has in effect alienated the body of faith-based believers from attaining the spiritual maturity envisioned in the original Gospel teachings, But just as important is the fact that in banning the teachings on the pre-existent soul, Justinian was merely followed in the footsteps of the emperor they call St. Constantine The Great -- who not only ordered the very words spoken by God to mankind be edited and changed (see TheTenWords.com), but required God to revise his relationship with the historical man Jesus in order to accommodate the political agenda of Pagan Rome.   In the foregoing article it is proven that the pre-Nicene teachings portrayed Jesus as a man who became One with the Indwelling Logos (see Logos) -- but Constantine corrupted the Gospels, and forced the Church to recast the historical man Jesus as God Incarnate.

If the folly of China can be portrayed as "Dictatorship and totalitarianism at its worst...", then is the historical example of the Christian Church an example of totalitarian secularized religion at its worst?   And while we can laugh off the ridiculousness of the Chinese, why would the vast majority of modern Christians continue to follow the dictates of Roman Emperors in defiance of the Truth?

As the soul who lived as the Brother of Yeshua/Jesus, I have been sent back into this world throughout every time-period since the beginning of our Common Era, in order to shepherd and guide sincere Christians who were seekers of Truth and TheWay -- even while these same Christians were condemned and hunted down as heretics by the Church of Rome.   Prior to incarnating into this present life, I was told that for the first time I would be able to write openly on a world-wide basis, in order to restore the Original Gospel Teachings for those who sought Truth over man-made emperor-ordained dogma.   And true to the Lord's word and assignment, I have thus far been able to accomplish all that I was sent into this world to bring about.      

The many critics of the Church have absolutely no idea as to the nature and objectives of the original Gospel teachings that were suppressed by Roman secular authority.   The critics imagine that they are opposing the dogma of the Church, when in fact, nothing could be further from the truth.   What the critics are in fact opposing, is the dogma of Pagan Rome that was forced upon the Church through the power of the secular sword of the Roman Emperors.   Despots who ruled over the religion of Jesus with an iron fist that hunted down the body of Spiritual Christians who refused to accept the religion of the emperor.  

The problem is that it will not work for China, because forced dogma has not worked for Christianity -- simply because man can't dictate truth to God.   Right under the nose of the Church, the original disciples, as well as myself, have been incarnating throughout every period of man's history over the past two thousand years, working to enlighten and guide sincere seekers of Truth into the Inner Kingdom -- teaching the sincere seekers the proper use of the Key of Knowledge that can be used to open the inner "narrow strait gate" that provides entrance to the Kingdom and the Presence of the Son of God.    True to the biblical predictions, only those believers who continued to adhere to the dogma of Roman Emperors, were left behind to follow their body of blind leaders who led them into lives of ignorance and despair.     Sincere seekers of Truth and TheWay, were always guided behind the scenes into the Promise of the Kingdom.   

In the subheading The Third Fatal Mistake, I quote a passage out of the Gospel of John that portrays man's religious plight in a nutshell -- i.e., "If you stick with this, living out what I tell you, you are my disciples for sure. Then you will experience for yourselves the truth, and the truth will free you" (John 8:31-32 TheMessage).    Those who sincerely followed in TheWay, experienced the Truth for themselves by gaining entrance into the Inner Kingdom where all Truths and Spiritual Mysteries were revealed to them.

The problem is, of course, that you can't have it both ways -- i.e., you can't cling to the dogmatic opium of Roman Emperors, while simultaneously "living out what" Jesus taught to his disciples.    And since neither Communist China or the Roman Emperors who ruled over the Church have the power to impose their man-made dogma on God, it is only the body of blind-faith believers who have suffered the consequences of following secularized religious teachings that disenfranchise the people from The Truth and The Kingdom of God.  And thus, as with elections, choices have consequences.  

The Church Of Roman Emperors vs Jesus - Christmas?

Are you a believer and follower of Jesus?  Or the Church and Religion of Roman Emperors?  As demonstrated in The First Fatal Mistake, the historical facts have proven beyond any doubt that the modern Church has absoutely nothing in common with the original teachings of Jesus.   And what is practiced today is very much The Religion Of Roman Emperors.    While there are sincere Christians who strive daily to serve the Lord.   They have been severely hindered by the dogmatic opium of Roman Emperors that has undermined the Gospel Message with the suppression of important teachings, and the corruption of the scriptures (see BibleCorruption.com ).   But this was foreseen by the Apostle Paul when he wrote that there would come a day in the near future where the Church which portrays itself as Christian will worship the AntiChrist in place of God (see The Church Of The AntiChrist).   As stated by John Wesley, Paul was portraying "...that fatal period when the Emperor Constantine called himself a Christian; From this time onward - the Christians had no more of the Spirit of Christ than the heathens...." (Wesley's Works, vol 7, Sermon 89, pp. 26-27).

While many sincere Christians strive daily to live in accord to the teachings of Jesus, they are being undermined by Marxist neo-coms who have donned clergy robes in an attempt to inflict the final death-blow to the Church.   By converting the Gospel into a pagan sacrificial system of redemption where Jesus was converted into a dogmatic exemption and license to continue to live in sin, The Religion Of Roman Emperors has totally rejected the wisdom of the Apostle Paul who warned that in a genuine spiritual religion, sin is the fruit of abomination and apostasy.   Quoting the Blog article: Was Jesus God? What Jesus revealed to mankind was the means to prove the Truth by virtue of your own first-hand spiritual experiences of learning directly from God.   But this was changed and corrupted by a clergy who called themselves Orthodox, who used Jesus as a pagan ritual mojo to peddle a license to live in sin.  In the subheading entitled The Flawed Doctrine Of Perpetual Redemption in the article at http://TheLie.org, and the following subheading entitled Christian Apostasy, the ignored statement of Paul is explored where he writes: "For it is impossible to restore again to repentance those who ...then commit apostasy, since they crucify the Son of God on their own account and hold him up to contempt.. For if we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries." (Heb 6:4-6;10:26-27 RSV). What this means is that the religion of Jesus in its original form was one of spiritual transformation -- and those who willfully sin, crucify the Son of God afresh, and "...there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries." These, and other such spiritual concepts, were totally unacceptable to the heathen Church of Rome, and the scriptures were corrupted in order to make them support the doctrines of the emperor. That the Church has abandoned the original teachings of Jesus, and have ignored the facts when it is demonstrated that the Church of Rome corrupted the very words of God spoken to man (see http://TheTenWords.com ), means that until the Church itself repents of this great sin against the Holy Spirit, they will remain under a cloud of ignorance in an exile state in a Spiritual Diaspora.   (see also Ann Coulter - The Fine Print)

What this means is that if you call upon the name of the Lord, and you then knowingly sin, you not only "...commit apostasy" and yourself "...crucify the Son of God on their own account and hold him up to contempt" -- but, as an apostate to the New Covenant, "...there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins". If we ask the question: Did Paul really mean that the sacrifice on the cross is canceled for those who knowingly sin after calling upon the name of the Lord? This is confirmed in the words of Paul when he wrote: "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? …knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin… Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?” (Rom 6:1-16 NKJ).

In the recent articles Why Are There School Shootings? -- and the subsequent allegorical interpretation in the School Shootings Update -- I explore the results and ramifications of our modern cultural mindset and lifestyle where the question is posed: Who is teaching the children a lifestyle of ungodliness? Because the Christian world has basically abandoned the very First Principles of the Gospel teachings, parents not only hand their children over to Caesar to instruct in the way of death -- but permits them to be programmed into ungodliness on the television and mass media, and openly engage in a lifestyle of spiritual abandonment. Thus, Paul also stated: "Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?" (2 Cor 6:14 NKJ) -- to the degree that Paul commanded to be separate and do not even touch their unclean ways and lifestyle: "Therefore Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty" (2 Cor 6:17-18 NKJ). And this to the degree that Paul commanded not to even dine with unbelievers who live an ungodly lifestyle in harmony with the ways of this world as seen in the words: "But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner-- not even to eat with such a person" (1 Cor 5:11 NKJ). What this means is that you can't be faithful to the Gospel of Jesus that was preached by Paul, and still send your children to government schools, or permit them to have open access to the television and music of the pop culture.

While today is a day of joyous song and praise of the Lord -- and thus, as it is written: "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men" (Mark 7:6-7).   That an every-growing number of pseudo-Christians continue to undermine the very spiritual foundation of the Church by promoting the "...doctrines [and] precepts of" The Religion Of Roman Emperors -- supplemented today by counterfeit clergy who preach Marxism -- i.e., “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits” (Matt 7:15-16 KJV).      

The Rev. Jim Wallis who is Barack Obama's spiritual adviser (see Jim Wallis), has recently declared victory over Conservative Christianity -- and in his publications he takes credit for converting college and university students to his Secular Progressive teachings of the left-wing Gospel.   Supported by George Soros who has been portrayed as the messiah of the atheists, the objective of the liberal and secular progressive churches is to further corrupt Christianity so that it has absolutely nothing in common with the original Gospel teachings.

It has been stated with respect to what is portrayed as The Epistles Of Christ to the Christian Church, that “...it is impossible, if the canons of the Church be followed, for these epistles ever to be read in the public services” (Archbishop Trench, Church of England quoted in Seiss' The Apocalypse)  Why?   Because the vast majority of Christians have drank the kool-aid of the dogmatic opium of Roman Emperors -- and it can be said that the vast majority have been subdued under the influence of Stockholm Syndrome.   Confirming the validity of the Apostle Peter's long ignored warning that:  "If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. Of them the proverbs are true: A dog returns to its vomit, and, A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud" (2 Pet 2:20-22 NIV).   Where the modern Church promotes the doctrine that they are saved by Grace regardless of the manner in which they live their lives, Peter not only states that this doctrine is in grave error, but correctly states that: "It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them."

Why?  "For it is impossible to restore again to repentance those who ...then commit apostasy, since they crucify the Son of God on their own account and hold him up to contempt.. For if we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries." (Heb 6:4-6;10:26-27 RSV).  And this is why Jesus warned that the fate of the complacent and apostate believer, is in fact worse than the unbelieving sinner as seen in the warning:  “That servant who knows his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows. But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked” (Luke 12:47-48 NIV).  

Once having become intoxicated by the dogmatic opium of Roman Emperors, the vast majority of Christians to their own spiritual demise can no longer understand this important Gospel teaching and concept.   Why does seemingly Bad Things Happen To Good People?   Why is there evil in the world?   Why is there such inequality with respect to The Conditions Of One's Birth - Life - And Death?

The Church Father Origen who was known as "the prince of Christian learning" in the third century, second only to the Apostles, writes that "...to every one according to his merits; nor will the happiness or unhappiness of each one's birth, or whatever be the condition that falls to his lot, be deemed accidental" (see Predestination).  Why?   Why is the conditions of one's birth not be deemed an accident?   Because there are no accidents as the Atheist and Secular Humanist mindset promotes.    Origen then goes on and writes with respect to each person's station in life "...that the cause of each one's actions is a pre-existing one; and then every one, according to his deserts, is made by God either a vessel unto honor or dishonor. Therefore every individual vessel [person] has furnished to its Creator out of itself the causes and occasions of its being formed by Him to be either a vessel unto honor or one unto dishonor."   And, as stated in the foregoing, each person's birth into this life is determined by that person's own past actions -- i.e., "...either a vessel unto honor or one unto dishonor".   Or, as stated by the Apostle Paul: "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows” (Gal 6:7 NIV).

What does this mean?   It confirms the statements in the recent articles Why Are There School Shootings? -- and the subsequent allegorical interpretation in the School Shootings Update -- that the school shootings were not an accident, and there was a pre-existent cause that was preordained as Conditions Of Birth.   And that for our political and religious leaders to be promoting gun control, instead of addressing the causal factors which has immersed our culture in the diabolical suspension of all morality and spiritual standards, is the abomination of our own ignorance as the kool-aid drinkers of  The Religion Of Roman Emperors.
