I am here, Jesus.
I was glad to be able to write you showing that the
Christian churches as they are constituted at present are preaching a
religion no different in its vital foundation from the religion of Judaism
from which they parted, in that they are teaching the moral and ethical
principles of human conduct as the way to God; and indeed, as I have shown,
these churches by so doing are perpetuating the Mosaic code that leads
to obedience of God's Laws and purification of the human soul, with a
place in the Spiritual Heavens prepared for the human soul cleansed of
sin.
These churches believe that, as the Messiah of God,
or God Himself incarnate as the Son, I brought salvation to mankind, that
is to say, to those church members who adhere to this belief, through
my supposed sacrifice on the cross, wherein my divine shed blood is held
to be a ransom for the sins of those who believe in this supposed sacrifice.
To some, this means that they may continue to sin, for their sins are
forgiven, as they falsely believe, and that church absolution for sinning
is sufficient to keep them in a state of grace. This is entirely untrue
and vicious.
Others, with a better understanding of what sin involves,
declare that Christ's sacrifice of love, as they believe, makes man duty
bound to answer this love with love of his own, which must manifest itself
by the rejection of sin. And others are appealed to by their church in
their human love for him whom they consider their savior in that they
are taught, preposterously enough, that each individual sin renews the
sacrifice I am supposed to have made on the cross for the sinner, and
that I am subjected to the agonies of crucifixion repeatedly as each sin
is committed. There is no understanding here that the spirit body of man,
divested of the material body by death, is no longer subject to the bodily
afflictions of the material world. In these cases, we have an appeal to
man's human love to strengthen his will against the desire to sin. And
this is Judaism, I must point out, whether the churches understand it
or not. For just as the Jew is exhorted not to sin for the love of Jehovah
and the Torah, so is the Christian exhorted not to sin for love of his
savior. And the effect, if successful, is the same: strengthening of the
human will against sinning and the subsequent step forward in soul purification.
In short, the doctrine of what the Christian calls the
indwelling Spirit, or baptism with the Holy Ghost, is meaningless, because
the Spirit or Ghost in his soul has no purifying action upon it; and the
so-called fulfillment of the law by grace, as taught to Christians by
the churches, is false and nonexistent.
For while the churches would like to say that, because
of Christ's so-called sacrifice and man's faith in his name, man does
not sin, they cannot in truthfulness so declare, for it is abundantly
evident in all mankind that this is not the case.
Yet soul perfection through Love was my message as the
Messiah, and that was what my immediate followers and their disciples
taught, as is found in the New Testament and, if the false doctrines of
my sacrifice and blood-shedding were eliminated as the interpolations
they are, and if my message were understood and interpreted correctly,
then what they preached is the truth, for the early church, free of the
later Greek and pagan notions of mass and trinity that were added, was
filled with individuals who had obtained to a certain, and some to a great,
extent, that real Grace - the Father's Love - which, the Essence of God,
is that which eliminates sin from the soul as it effects its transformation
into a divine soul, and thus actually brought about a soul condition in
them whereby the laws of Moses were no longer needed and the Torah fulfilled
by the Divine Presence of the Father Himself in the souls of those to
whom it came when sought for in earnest prayer.
So you can see that the churches of today are not preaching
my message of the Father's Love, which leads to transformation of the
soul into a divine soul and its concomitant purity, but are preaching
instead the false doctrines of salvation through my supposed sacrifice
on the cross and the resultant remission of sin through the shedding of
my blood, with the consequences that the real Grace - the Father's Love
- which I taught comes to man only through prayer to God, is not sought
for and has not had the opportunity, except in relatively few cases, to
cleanse and transform men's souls. And it is for this reason that Christians
have not experienced the Father's Love in their souls, nor have remission
of sins, as they think, for they still sin and are tempted to sin without
ceasing.
And thus many Christians, while they continue to be
churchgoers and adhere to the rites and ceremonies of their respective
churches, realize that the great Saving Grace they have been promised
and told is theirs with mere belief in my name has not been experienced
as a reality in their lives, and they are disappointed and feel frustrated,
as indeed they are, that the New Birth is not really theirs.
And the answer given by the churches is pure speculation
and a pious hope that belief in Jesus' name will give them, when they
die, a place in Heaven, and that until then they must have faith in the
teachings of the churches. What a poor and apologetic answer this is,
and how contradictory to their own New Testament which preaches with authority
the evidences on this earth of the transformation which God's Grace -
His Love - makes in the human soul; in Peter, in Saul of Tarsus (Paul),
in Mary Magdalene, in Levi the publican (Matthew), in John and James and
my other disciples, in Nicodemus ben Gurien, in Barnabas, Cornelius, Apollo,
Aquila and Priscilla, Silas, Timothy and many others I may name, many
of whom died as martyrs because of their certain knowledge of their immortality
of soul through the possession of the Father's Love I came to make available
to mankind as the Messiah of God.
Christians must learn that what they call the indwelling
of the Holy Spirit in the soul of the believer in my name is a myth. And
the proof of the falsity of that doctrine is the brutal but incontrovertible
fact that Christians, as other faiths of mankind, continue to be tempted
and sin.
And Christians, like other people, will continue to
sin in this world and suffer the effects of their sins for a long time
in the world to come, until they stop believing in my name for their salvation
and pray to the Father for His Love, so that, in answer to such prayer,
His Love - His real Grace - is conveyed into their souls by the Holy Spirit
and effects that transformation of soul from human into divine souls,
in the true fulfillment of the Law.
