The Outer Darkness Of Mind And Being

The Outer Darkness Of Mind And Being

While most of the Christian world celebrates Christmas, the proverbial question must be asked: Do they know the Truth? Or, do they dwell in what the Bible calls, the "outer darkness"? Is Jesus God, as the 4th century Roman Christians believed? Or, was he a true holy man who so fulfilled the Law within himself, that he became One with God, as his earliest Ebionite Nazirene disciples believed?

When the man addressed Jesus with the title of "good master", and asked him what he must do to have eternal life, Jesus replied: “Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments” (Matt 19:17 KJV). If Jesus was God, he would have accepted the title of Good Master. He would have replied: Believe in me, and you will have eternal life. And if the Law was done away with as Christians maintain, he never would have told the man: "...but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments”. Paul correctly warns that the written Law is an allegory that contains an inner meaning not apparent to those who read the written word that he calls the "letter that killeth". And with respect to the deeper spiritual meaning, Jesus said: "The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life" (John 6:63 NIV). Before a believer can become a disciple of Jesus and TheWay, they must first fulfill the Law within themselves. And those who have remained of a natural organic mind, and have yet to bring about the transformation that fulfilling the Law initiates in their lives -- i.e., "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature" (Col 3:5 NIV). To the degree that Paul warned: “For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live” (Rom 8:13 KJV) -- remain carnal, and cannot become a disciple and enter into Life. And as prodigal sons and daughters who have not come to TheCall, they remain spiritually disenfranchised from the Inner Kingdom, and dwell under the power of the god of this world -- they cannot know the Truth, because they dwell in what the Bible portrays as the "outer darkness".

In the Gospel of Matthew the term "outer darkness" is used three times in conjunction with the fate of the Jews who did not seek to walk in TheWay. The man who had come to TheCall, and had failed to put on the required wedding garment of consecrated purity, was bound hand and foot and cast into the -- i.e., "So he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless. Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' For many are called, but few are chosen" (Matt 22:12-14 NKJ). The modern Church emphatically states that Jesus deceived the people with this parable, because it demonstrates the importance that the believers actions play in their salvation. In like manner, the servant who put his talent into the earth, instead of multiplying what he had received was also cast into the "outer darkness" (Mat 25:14-30). In listening to the Rev. Rick Warren's Christmas message which was carried over the Fox News Channel, most of his message is a refutation of Jesus' words of warning, and a celebration of how God rewards those who put their talents into the earth. And while Pastor Warren has gotten rich off of peddling his many books, because he does not understand the reality of the "outer darkness", he represents the epitome of the modern blind guides that Jesus, Peter and Paul warned the people to reject (see The Complacent Christian), or be turned out of TheWay.

It is important that we ask the question: What is the "outer darkness"? What it represents is the outer dimensions of mind and consciousness that is associated with the natural organic mind of man. With respect to this condition of mind and being, the scriptures warn that it is the reason why the people of this world will look upon the Mysteries of God as utter "foolishness"!!! All of us are equally the Prodigal Sons and Daughters of our Heavenly Father. We are presently dwelling in the "far country" -- dwelling under the power of what the parable portrays as the "citizen" of this world. Paul called it the god of this world. The first Spiritual Christians called it the Demiurge, because this Power of the Left Hand is the creator of illusion that keeps the Prodigal Sons and Daughters as slaves to the things of this world. And as the prodigal sons who dwell in the "far country... outer darkness" of mind and being, all of mankind dwells in a state of ignorance with respect to the inner reality of his soul and spiritual natures -- as well as the Inner Kingdom (Lk 17:20-21) -- because he has been cast into what the Bible calls the "outer darkness" of consciousness. And because the lost prodigal sons and daughters dwell in the "outer darkness" of mind and being -- under the control of the god of this world -- failing to remember when they dwelt in the Kingdom of the Father -- Jesus could only speak to them about the higher reality of the soul and the Mysteries of the Inner Kingdom, in parables -- i.e., "And the disciples came and said to Him, Why do You speak to them in parables? He answered and said to them, Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: 'Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, and seeing you will see and not perceive; For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, so that I should heal them'" (Matt 13:10-15 NKJ).

While great multitudes flock to celebrate the Saturnalia renamed Christmas (see The Christian Judas), which is the celebration of the birth of the proverbial sun-god of Rome, the reality of the words of Jesus continue into our present time -- i.e., "...For many are called, but few are chosen".
And in the same way that Jesus did not say to the man who called him "good master", believe in me, and you will have eternal life, those who flock to celebrate the Saturnalia renamed Christmas, continue to dwell in the "outer darkness" of mind and being. Thus, until, in the manner of Jesus' portrayal of the prodigal son, he is ready to arise and "turn about", he will remain under the illusion of unknowing and ignorance of his true self -- surrendering his inheritance as the Offspring of the Most High -- until which time he is ready to return Home to his Source of Being. Jesus warned those who want to be his disciples and followers, not to believe the teachers and authorities of this world, because they have all been deceived by the god of this world. Jesus taught that there is the Power of the Left Hand that Rules this world -- and the Power of the Right Hand that draws the true seeker who has put on his "Wedding Garment" into the Marriage with the Divine Bridegroom of our inner souls. Which means that to hear and come to TheCall, all we need to do is apply the Key of Knowledge in our lives, strive to live the Consecrated Life that Jesus Ordained, seek the Divine Manna of Heaven which is given only to those who are worthy to receive it, and seek the Kingdom within (see http://GateOfEden.com ). But alas, while "...many are called, but few are chosen"

The Church Of Spiritual Complacency

Greetings Olivia St. John:
Reading your article entitled Educrats ride bigot bandwagon, as presented in my Brother of Yeshua Blog article entitled Another Victim of Christian Complacency, it is the spiritual complacency of the Church that school choice is not a reality, and the right of parents to homeschool their children is not Constitutionally protected. As stated in the article, what we are presented with is the primary differences between philosophy and genuine religion. Philosophy is a belief, or system of beliefs, that one casually embraces. Religion, on the other hand, is the mindset and lifestyle necessary to live, in order to prove one's beliefs. And as a greater number of people begin to reject the institutional dogmatic Church doctrines of Pagan Rome -- embracing the spiritual essence of what Yeshua/Jesus taught as a way of life that brings about true spiritual transformation -- then even greater confrontation is on the near horizon with the Secular Progressives who are attempting to diminish the influence of religion.
Genuine religion is a mindset -- a system of foundational thinking -- and this mindset is supported by the necessary lifestyle that permits the religious tenets to transform the adherent. Therefore, the fundamental Constitutional protection on the practice of religion, is the guarantee of the freedom of thought and lifestyle -- and it is this abject denial of the primary tenets of genuine religion, that is totally suppressed in the public school environment, as well as the lifestyle that is supported in government institutionalized systems of education. When Paul commanded to "touch not the unclean" (2 Cor 6:17), the child's attendance in the modern public school has the effect of immersing them in every aspect of what the Bible defines as unclean -- an environment that is a detriment to their spiritual wellbeing. And if the Church was not so complacent, and more concerned with peddling Christ for the dollars in the collection plate, then it would have long ago opposed state defined religion that holds to the flawed doctrine that the practice of the child's religion is separate from their way of thinking and lifestyle.
The bureaucratic fumbling is so bad in most public schools, that I have myself seen where a local school district twice misplaced one of these notices for intent to school at home. In fact, the only way to insure that your rights are protected, is to get the clerk who receives the notice, to sign and date that said notice was received. And to deny a child what should be a Constitutionally protected First Amendment religious Right, because of the commonplace bureaucratic failure of the public school, is not only Constitutional apostasy, but is a religious abomination that a parent is even required to ask permission of the state, to practice their religion in the first place. Further, there are school districts that will do everything in their power to oppose homeschooling parents, and they have a self-serving interest in losing these notices. And sadly, this confrontational fiasco will continue, until the people begin to reject state defined religion, and require the state to acknowledge that one's religion begins with the thinking, mindset and lifestyle of the child.
If the Church would begin to move in a more genuine spiritual direction, there exists sufficient case-law rulings to achieve their goals of the spiritual protection of the child. "Education, of course, is not among the rights afforded explicit protection under our Federal Constitution. Nor do we find any basis for saying it is implicitly so protected... We have carefully considered each of the arguments supportive of the District Court's finding that education is a fundamental right or liberty and have found those arguments unpersuasive” (San Antonio Independent School District vs. Rodrigues 411 US 1 [1973]). In view of the fact that there is no Constitutional mandate or protection of education, while there is for religion, the legal question then becomes: Can the child be educated with the least infringement upon the practice of their religion -- i.e., their religiously based thinking, mindset and lifestyle. The answer is a resounding YES -- and this would open the door to a mandated option of school choice. And as I have previously explained to Jay Sekulow of the American Center For Law And Justice (see http://ebionite.com/aclj.htm ), while it would be difficult for the faith-based Church to change direction at this late date with resect to their doctrine that mindset and lifestyle doesn't matter, this is not at all the case from the original Ebionite Nazirene teachings of Yeshua/Jesus. And with the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls and other important writings, the stamp of validity is now seen to rest with the Ebionites, rather than the doctrines of Pagan Rome.
Atheists and Secular Progressives have prevailed over the Church in Europe, which has often been portrayed as a Godless continent where the doors of the Churches have been abandoned. To the degree that Islam is very quickly becoming the religion of Europe. Using the mass media and the public schools, they are waging a war against the Church in the United States. And if Christians continue to fail to protect their children from the onslaught of the wholesale immorality of the Left as being waged in our public schools and culture, then Christianity will become as irrelevant in the United States, as it presently is in Europe. Yet, legal organizations such as Jay Sekulow and the American Center for Law and Justice, are more afraid of supporting the original Ebionite Nazirene teachings of Yeshua/Jesus, than they are of the continued sacrifice of their children on the altar of cultural degeneracy. Meanwhile, the complacency of the Church causes sincere Christians such as Denise Mafi to be victimized for doing what every Christian should be doing in the raising of Godly children.

Another Victim Of Christian Complacency

Denise Mafi had to flee her home along with her children (see Woman abandons home to escape public schools ), because modern Christianity is not a religion -- but rather, a philosophy. And the plight of this latest victim of the Church goes to the very core of the difference between a philosophy, and a religion -- but what is the difference? A philosophy is an abstract opinion or a belief -- whereas, a religion is the lifestyle and associated mindset necessary to prove one's philosophy and beliefs. And herein lies the problem as seen in the fact that few Christians even understand that it is man's innate ability to do as Paul commanded when he stated that Christians should "prove all things" (1 Thes 5:21). But because, under the Roman Emperor Constantine, and later Martin Luther, Christianity became an institutionalized philosophy -- one of blind faith in the doctrines of men -- modern Christians don't even understand the fundamental tenets of a religion vs a philosophy. And because the Church has been turned out of TheWay, and is spiritually impotent, innocent mothers such as Denise Mafi regularly fall victim, when they attempt to actually follow the tenets of the teachings of Jesus.

If Christianity was a religion, then the practice of religion would protect the congregation from infringement from secular authorities such as Judge Scott N. Johansen, who allegedly made the statement that "...homeschooling fails 100 percent of the time and he would not allow it." Fails to do what? Program the thinking and lifestyle of the child to utter spiritual failure? And while Secular Progressives would counter that there is no proof that the public schools destroy the life of the soul of the child, it is their fascist mindset -- and their desire to force their way of thinking on others -- that inhibits them from knowing the Truth. But admittedly, the cultural war against fundamental God-Given Religious Rights has been brought about by the Church, which has failed to establish the very essence of the practice of religion, as the right to think and live in accord with one's religious teachings.

If Christianity was a genuine religion, it would be an established Constitutional Right to not only choose a child's type of school -- but the right to homeschool would not be challenged by either local school authorities, or the courts. And because of their spiritual complacency, Christians ignore the warning in the very Bibles they champion, that their fate is worse than that of the unbelievers (see http://disciple-of-the-way.com/complacent.htm ). Further, from a purely biblical perspective, the requirement to "do unto others, as you would have them do unto you", begins with building and maintaining the necessary communities where others can mature and evolve in the proper spiritual environment. And this is one of the most important teachings for seekers to understand. As you can see in a recent letter to Bruce Shortt, a Southern Baptist who advocates pulling their children out of the secular schools ( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EbioniteNazireneIssues/message/21 ), the modern Christian Church as a whole has spiritually disenfranchised itself from the Knowledge of the Kingdom and TheWay, because they have not only permitted government to define religion, but they have surrendered their children to be sacrificed upon the secular altars of public education which deprives them of the Life of their Souls. In their complacency to the Living Word, they crucify Christ daily. And in the same way that believers of the simple faith can call upon the name of Jesus until they take their last breath, they will remain spiritually flat-lined at an entry-level understanding of the Gospel, until they learn the true reality of the words do unto others, as you would have them do unto you. Since it is very difficult to help those who have become imbued with the thinking and lifestyle of this world -- the primary equation should begin with the seekers concern for rearing and educating the children in order to make them the "good ground" within which the Living Word of God can grow, mature, and evolve to maturity as taught in the parable of the Sower and the Seed ( http://SowerAndSeed.com ). Does it not warn that it would be better for a millstone to be hung about a person's neck, and he be thrown into the sea and drowned, than to permit one of the "little ones" to be defiled and overcome by this world? And we can see in the Book of Acts, that the primary concern of the followers and disciples of Jesus was to set up spiritual communities where young children and their families could be reared in the necessary spiritual foundation of the New Covenant? "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you" (2 Cor 6:17 KJV). This commandment can't be accomplished while sending one's children to government schools where they are indoctrinated into the thinking, mindset and lifestyle of this world. So, in the same way that the Church has failed to provide for the souls who have been placed in their care of Christian parents, the Laws will inhibit their own growth and development beyond a certain point.

The Church has made itself the modern money changes who peddle Messiah/Christ for the profit of the clergy. Forgotten are the words: "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" (Luke 6:46 KJV). And while they call upon the Lord with their lips, the manner in which they live their lives is far removed from actually doing the Will of God -- i.e., "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'" (Matt 7:21-23 NKJ). And because of their wholesale indolence of the teachings of the Gospel, and the living of the required lifestyle in TheWay, their eyes have been blinded, and their hearts and minds have been hardened, to the spiritual meaning of the written words of the Gospel that gives Life.

Letter To The Free Muslims

Shalom Kamal Nawash and Free Muslims:
While it is truly a wonderful thing that you are attempting to transform Islam, and take the religion back from the radicals who have politicized it, you can only find success through the knowledge of the conditions that brought about the creation of Islam, and restoring its original spiritual goals. Perhaps someone with a Sufi background would better understand when I state that while I was present during the time-frames in question that necessitated both the creation of Islam (see http://TheThreeLies.com#necessity , as well as the beginnings of what is today called Christianity (see http://BrotherOfYeshua.com ), the fact that mankind has been spiritually disenfranchised from the Knowledge of God by those who supposedly represent Him, is not my fault. And this knowledge is not only the original source of Islam, but is available to any Muslim who truly makes the required Journey to Spiritual Mecca during the allotted time of their life (see http://TheThreeLies.com#mosque . One way or the other, every Muslim will be confronted by the Truth, when they eventually pass from this life -- and they will be judged by that Truth, because if they were Truly Muslim from a Spiritual perspective, this Truth would be revealed to them.
In a recent reply to a Wall Street Journal article by Irshad Manji entitled Blind Faith (see http://TheThreeLies.com#quran ), I take the position that the unthinkable has transpired -- that the Qur'an has been corrupted in order to make it serve the political needs of the ancient (political) Muslim world -- and the same reality that Muslims charge against Christians with respect to the corruption of the Bible (see http://BibleCorruption.com ), is also true of the Qur'an. And herein lies the problem -- i.e., (1) there can be no true spiritual transformation of Islam, so long as Muslims believe the verses portrayed in my letter to Irshad Manji as the Satanic Verses, remains; (2) anyone who claims that the Qur'an is corrupted (especially a Muslim), is immediately condemned as a heretic, and a Fatwa can be issued for their immediate death; (3) unless a group of Muslims are themselves prepared to seek and stand up for the Truth, then it will be impossible to bring about the transformation and restoral of Islam that you seek.
In the same way that the Dead Sea Scrolls have demonstrated that the forerunners of the Ebionite Nazirene teachings of Yeshua/Jesus and TheWay were the Essenes -- and that the Ebionites were the source of what came to be corrupted under the Christian Church of Rome -- as explained in The Journey To The Distant Mosque (see http://TheThreeLies.com#mosque ), the foundation that set the stage for Islam, was the connection to both the Ebionites ( http://Ebionite.com ), and the Nestorian monks who had been banished by the Roman Emperors as heretics because of their Gnostic foundations. And until these connections are reestablished, linking the three religions and their common spiritual path and objectives (see http://TheThreeLies.com ), then no real progress can be made at restoring Islam to its intended true potential and goals. Like the corrupted worldly forms of Judaism and Christianity before it, Islam is supposed to be a religion of the spirit -- and the only valid jihad is the struggle within. The word Muslim -- i.e., "one who surrenders (himself to God)" -- is a universal spiritual term denoting a reality that is not of this world. And it shares a similar reality to the way I define Ebionite ( http://Ebionite.com ), as one who is "poor" to the ways of this world, and fulfills the mandate to be in the world and not of it. Therefore, being a member of Islam -- or claiming to be a follower of Mohammed -- does not in any way make one a Muslim. And before one can surrender to God, one must learn TheWay of God, and reject the way of man who always corrupts and defiles the Truth when it is imparted to him by the few who make the Journey to Spiritual Mecca and the Distant Mosque (see http://TheThreeLies.com#mosque ), which is parallel to the Ebionite Nazirene Journey in TheWay to the Inner Kingdom (see http://GateOfEden.com ).
In order for both Muslims and all the prodigal sons who are lost in this, the Far Country, to know the Truth, they must be made aware that they have the innate ability to seek the Truth and the Kingdom. That the clergy of Judaism hid this fact, is the reason why Yeshua/Jesus condemned them as heretics -- and that the Christian clergy in like manner hid this fact, is why Mohammed condemned the Christians and Jews as heretics -- and the fact that the clergy of Islam has hidden this fact, is a reality that will confront every Muslim when they depart from this world. And no transformation can be brought about, until the true meaning of the word Muslim is understood -- and the fact that all True Spiritual Muslims have the power to learn from what the Disciple Peter called the True Prophet (see http://TheThreeLies.com#TrueProphet . And this can only be accomplished when Muslims understand that the journey to Mecca is purely spiritual, and is brought about by the struggle of the inner jihad -- when Christians understand that the Kingdom is within, and is brought about by picking up one's own cross and travailing in TheWay -- and when Jews understand the reality of the Final Temple as portrayed on AskMoses.com (see http://TheThreeLies.com ). And since the members of all three religions -- as well as all of mankind -- possess the innate power to bring about the completion of the journey of the prodigal son's return to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination within their own lives ( http://GateOfEden.com ), then all the members of man's religions will be held accountable to the degree that they have the opportunity to seek the Truth, rather than the doctrines and dogma of carnal men who dress in the robes of clergy -- i.e., wolves in sheep's attire. And more so of those who condemn the ignorance of others -- even killing them -- while they, themselves, dwell is a parallel ignorance.
You will find a copy of this letter both in the article entitled The Three Lies http://TheThreeLies.com#FreeMuslims ), as well as the latest entry in the Brother Of Yeshua Blog (see http://brotherofyeshua.blogspot.com/ ).

Are Jesus And Satan Brothers?

Are Jesus and Lucifer Brothers? Has the Republican presidential debates turned religiously ugly? (see Is Satan Jesus' Brother) Are the Mormons a cult, as most Christians contend? Or has the biblical reality come upon Christians in the warning: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee..."? (Hosea 4:6 KJV).

Perhaps the proverbial question has once again come full circle and confronted the Christian world: Can a people of (blind) faith who reject knowledge, also possess the knowledge that is necessary to begin to understand what both Jesus and Paul called the Mysteries of the Kingdom? And what this means is that you can't have it both ways -- i.e., you can't be imbued with the ignorance of a mushroom that grows in the dark, and at the same time possess the wisdom of the Light.

While I have never, ever, been associated with the Mormons, and would not in any way promote the LDS Church -- and while Joseph Smith had many human flaws -- he was not a man who promoted the cult of blind faith in the doctrines of Pagan Rome (see The Christian Judas). In fact, he very clearly took the position that man has the innate ability to know and be all things -- that is, if he intimately embraces the teachings and pattern of Jesus' life -- in contradistinction to promoting Jesus as a pagan sacrifice for living in perpetual sin as Martin Luther did (see Who Is A Believer? The Folly Of Martin Luther). And while Satan is not Jesus' Brother -- because there is a difference between the Logos and the man Jesus as presented in the original Ebionite Nazirene positions taught by Jesus (see http://Ebionite.com ) -- because Christians have rejected knowledge -- and therefore, reject Messiah/Christ who is the Source of all True Knowledge -- what Joseph Smith and the Mormons are making reference to, is the doctrine of the Two Hands of God that Rules over all human affairs that Jesus himself taught to those who have the ears to hear.

To begin to understand, you must yourself be cognizant of the biblical warning that the organic mind of man is incapable of understanding the higher reality of the soul and the Mysteries of the Kingdom (see Why Can't The Truth Of The Gospel Be Stated Literally?), and Paul's warning that when baptized and committed Christians are told the Mysteries of the Kingdom, they will condemn these higher truths of the spirit as "foolishness" (see Rejection Of Mysteries). In fact, it is because of the same lack of knowledge that had seduced the Jews of a Pharisaic mindset, that Jesus said they were the offspring of the Devil -- and the Spiritual Christians said that the Jews worshiped a Demiurge (see The Devil - The God Of The Jews) -- i.e., the god of illusion. And because the Christian Church has adopted the doctrines of Pagan Rome and the apostasy of Martin Luther, the biblical prediction has come true that the servants of Satan not only have dominion over the Church, but that it is these demons that are speaking in the ears of most Evangelical Christians who claim to hear the Holy Spirit (see Satan Speaks To The Christian Elect).

The Church of Constantine suppressed many of the earliest writings and scriptures as they converted the religion of Jesus into a (Pagan) state ordained Cult which came to be called Christianity. And in the writings of the Apostle Peter's disciple Clement, the teaching on the two Hands of God is presented (see The Left Hand Of God). With respect to the proverbial Simon Magus, Peter states: "He is a power of the left hand of God, and has authority to do harm to those who know not God, so that he has been able to involve you in diseases; but by these very diseases, which have been permitted to come upon you by the good providence of God, you, seeking and finding him who is able to cure, have been compelled to submit to the will of God on the occasion of the cure of the body, and to think of believing, in order that in this way you may have your souls as well as your bodies in a healthy state."

Notice that Simon Magus has "authority" from the Left Hand of God, to bring about, initiate and invoke, harm among the people -- i.e., the lost prodigal sons who dwell under the shackles and control of the Citizen of the Far Country, which Paul called the god of this world. More importantly is the fact that ultimately, the evil of Simon Magus and the apostates who followed him, as well as those who Satan has control over in and out of the Church, are ordained by God to bring about good through the growth that results from self-induced tribulation. In the writings of the later Clement, the 2nd century Bishop of Alexandria, a most important explanation is set forth -- the ignorance of which, has immersed the Christian world in a folly of it's own making: “But among the lies, the false prophets also told some true things. And in reality they prophesied ‘in an ecstasy,’ as the servants of the apostate”. Using the early Christian writing known as the Shepherd of Hermas, Clement then explains: “And the Shepherd, the angel of repentance, says to Hermas, of the false prophet: ‘For he speaks some truths. For the devil fills him with his own spirit, if perchance he may be able to cast down any one from what is right.’ All things, therefore, are dispensed from heaven for good, ‘that by the Church may be made known the manifold wisdom of God, according to the eternal foreknowledge, which He purposed in Christ.’ Nothing withstands God: nothing opposes Him: seeing He is Lord and omnipotent. Further, the counsels and activities of those who have rebelled, being partial, proceed from a bad disposition, as bodily diseases from a bad constitution, but are guided by universal Providence to a salutary issue, even though the cause be productive of disease. It is accordingly the greatest achievement of divine Providence, not to allow the evil, which has sprung from voluntary apostasy, to remain useless, and for no good, and not to become in all respects injurious. For it is the work of the divine wisdom, and excellence, and power, not alone to do good (for this is, so to speak, the nature of God, as it is of fire to warm and of light to illumine), but especially to ensure that what happens through the evils hatched by any, may come to a good and useful issue, and to use to advantage those things which appear to be evils, as also the testimony which accrues from temptation”.

Within these words are contained a profound truth that all believers today must realize. The Power of God is so all-encompassing, that even the apostate teachers and prophets still serve the Lord. Is it not forewarned and written that: “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness’” (Matt 7:22-23 NAS). Therefore, it is established that even among those who prophesy, cast out demons, and perform many great miracles in the name of the Lord, they are neither saved, nor are they affirmed by Jesus. This means that from your perspective as a believer, for you to be faithful to the scriptures, you must question everything -- and that includes every word that myself or anyone else writes for you to read. A true disciple of the Light is one who proves the truth; not one who believes something because it sounds good to his carnal mind.

Why would you listen to a man who tells you that you must believe, when the Lord himself told you not to blindly believe even what he taught; as can be seen where it is written: “If any of you really determines to do God’s will, then you will certainly know whether my teaching is from God or is merely my own” (John 7:17 TLB). That a true seeker has the power to prove the truth, means that the sin of blind belief which the Church promotes, is a rejection of Messiah/Christ. And that every man and woman possesses the innate power to discern ultimate Truths -- and should therefore reject blind belief as a cancer of the spirit -- is equally true of any concept about life and creation that is presented to you. Everything can be proven by those who “really determines to do God’s will”. And what of the false teachings of Christ that have been grafted into the church? What both Clement and the scriptures predict is that the Lord will use the apostles of error to bring about good. Listen to their prophesy! Heed their warning! Believe their words as if the Great day of the Lord will be tomorrow! The prophets of doom are correct, and Armageddon is imminent! But it is not coming in the manner that they predict (see Lk 17:20-21). If you pray to the Lord with a pure heart and a clear mind, he will teach you the things you should know about the coming of the Great Spiritual Armageddon that the scriptures speak of -- and what is confirmed is that the lost prodigal sons and daughter will see the Kingdom come within them (see http://GateOfEden.com ). This is just one of the many examples of how the Lord uses the apostles of error to preserve sacred truths for those found worthy to know their true meaning. It was the same with the Jews at the time of Jesus -- i.e., where they had built a temple of abomination, everything set forth was an allegorical portrayal of the Final Temple that even the Jews now admit that Jesus inaugurated (see http://TheThreeLies.com ).

Take to heart also the words of Clement when he writes: “It is accordingly the greatest achievement of divine Providence, not to allow the evil, which has sprung from voluntary apostasy, to remain useless, and for no good, and not to become in all respects injurious”. How, then, does the Lord induce the apostles of error to ultimately serve God and the Kingdom? He moves them by the force of their own ego and greed. There has been one unquestionable truth that has manifested itself throughout every generation of Christian history. It is an indisputable fact that this false prophesy has been very lucrative to promote. The prophets of doom have often lived lavish lifestyles off the collection plate that has been received in the name of God and the end times. As perhaps one classic example: Pope Gregory I, who as pope is supposed to be infallible, persuaded the rich people in his day that the end of the world was at hand, and if they wanted to go to heaven, they had better pass on their property to the church before the coming of the great day. The result was that the Papacy became the richest land owner in Europe. This same prediction -- that the end of the world has arrived and is imminent -- has been repeated an uncountable number of times in almost every generation since the beginning of our common era.

The Two Powers of God -- i.e., the Left Hand of Correction, and the Right Hand that draws the Disciple of TheWay into the Inner Kingdom ( http://GateOfEden.com ) -- is set forth and explained by the Apostle Peter. Quoting the above Divine Manna web site where Peter explains about the two Hands of God: "For thus from the beginning was a law laid by God, the Creator of all things, on each of the two princes, him of the right hand and him of the left, that neither should have power over any one whom they might wish to benefit or to hurt, unless first he had sat down at the same table with them. As, then, when you partook of meat offered to idols, you became servants to the prince of evil, in like manner, if you cease from these things, and flee for refuge to God through the good Prince of His right hand, honoring Him without sacrifices, by doing whatsoever He wills, know of a truth that not only will your bodies be healed, but your souls also will become healthy. For He only, destroying with His left hand, can quicken with His right; He only can both smite and raise the fallen." When the Christian Church entered into a covenant relationship with Pagan Rome, they very much "...sat down at the same table... [and] became servants to the prince of evil" And, because the Church has yet to repent of this evil, they remain shackled by the god of this world to the abyss of ignorance and blind belief.

Again Peter explains: "But that this is so, has been said even by the law in the person of God: ‘I will kill, and, I will make alive; I will strike, and I will heal. For, in truth, He kills and makes alive. He kills through the left hand, that is, through the evil one, who has been so composed as to rejoice in afflicting the impious. And he saves and benefits through the right band, that is, through the good one, who has been made to rejoice in the good deeds and salvation of the righteous."

And in prayer Peter states: "Deliver me, O Lord of all, from Thy fearful judgment. Do not give the enemy power to swallow me up, and to become heir of my soul, as of that of him who is hanging on the left; for I see how the devil joyfully takes his soul, and his body disappears." But Christians today are as the men of Nineveh of whom it is said: "And should I not pity Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot discern between their right hand and their left?" (Jonah 4:11 NKJ). For as it was said to Job: "Then I will also confess to you that your own right hand can save you" (Job 40:14 NKJ). And in the Psalms: "You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore... Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; you will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand will save me" (Ps 16:11;138:7 NKJ). Which is the reason why Jesus said that those on the right will enter into life, while those on the left will inherit the tribulation of their deeds and ways: "Then He will also say to those on the left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels" (Matt 25:41 NKJ).

While I am not in any measure promoting the LDS Church, when Christians condemn the doctrine of the two brothers, they are in fact condemning their own ignorance -- i.e., "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee...". But then again, how can a religion that promotes blind faith and condemns the Mysteries of God and the Kingdom -- and rejects the Divine Manna that the Lord provides for the Faithful Disciples of TheWay -- even begin to know right from wrong? How many voters who call themselves Christian, will vote for a Hillary Clinton, who supports the spiritual disenfranchisement of young children in public schools, the murder of the unborn as a matter of choice, or the pornification of our culture through the suspension of all moral and spiritual standards? And if someone such as Mitt Romney wins the Conservative nomination, how many Evangelical Christians will support Hillary Clinton by staying away from the election? Thus, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
