The Copyrights on this Site
The material produced by James Padgett and edited by Dr. Stone and others has been placed in the public domain by the copyright holder, The Foundation Church of the New Birth Inc. This includes material channeled by Dr. Samuels and Eugene Morgan.
There are well over 1,000 contemporary messages on this site subject to copyright. The copyright is held by the author/medium of each channeled message. Some of these are clearly identifiable, but where they are not, I, Geoff Cutler know who is the owner of the copyright. So in all instances where there is a desire to copy some of this material, please approach me first.
The messages received by H.R. and published in the book “Judas of Kerioth” are copyright Geoff Cutler because I have edited these messages significantly since receiving them in what I kindly referred to as “Spanglish”. The original author H.R. has released copyright in his original emails, but I am not aware of those being published anywhere in that form. I no longer have them myself in the original. Those web sites that have this material and which is identical to what is on this site, have copied it from my site and do not have a legal right to publish it in the edited form.
On the 16th June 2023 I have been advised by Amy Bolton aka Amada Reza, daughter of Kathryn Stokes, that all of Kathryn Stoke’s messages are now public domain. I believe most of these are identified by the initials “K.S.”.
I am hosting here a small number of pages belonging to Rev. Mark Kramer. He is the copyright holder in these pages that are clearly identified.
I, Geoff Cutler, hold the copyright on this new-birth web site, and in the presentation of the material in the arrangement that has been achieved here. I also hold the copyright on the many pages of commentary on a wide variety of spiritual subjects. I have no objection to this being used as is typical in such literary references - limited in scope, properly attributed and totally unchanged or edited. My copyrights are held under Australian Law.
I have also republished a large amount of material - books - that were out of copyright and hard to obtain even in print. I have not placed copyright on these print books, Kindles, epubs and pdfs. In my opinion small circulation special interest books are not well served by lengthy copyright terms as they become unavailable very quickly.
Thank you, Geoff Cutler, Robertson, Australia.
Clarification Notice: A Modern Fabrication Attributed to Joseph Smith
We have recently been made aware of a text circulating online that claims to be a genuine message received by James Padgett from Joseph Smith, the founder of the Latter-day Saint (Mormon) movement.
The text typically begins with lines such as:
“I am Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon Church. I come to you tonight to write a short message on a subject that I am very much interested in…”<<
Because New-Birth.net is the most comprehensive archive of the James Padgett messages, a seeker has reached out to ask why this specific communication is completely missing from our website, and where it can be found in the printed volumes of “True Gospel Revealed Anew by Jesus.”
The Direct Answer: It is Not a Genuine Padgett Message
We wish to clarify to all researchers, mediums, and followers of the Divine Love path that this text is a modern fabrication or an AI-generated imitation. It does not exist anywhere within the authentic historical manuscripts received by James Padgett between 1914 and 1920.
While the historic archives do contain real messages from other 19th-century religious figures—such as Pastor Charles Taze Russell (founder of the Bible Students/Jehovah’s Witnesses) and Mary Baker Eddy (founder of Christian Science)—Joseph Smith never communicated through James Padgett.
How This Imitation Deceives Seekers
This text is a highly sophisticated imitation. Whoever created it (or the AI prompt used to generate it) deeply understood the unique theology and narrative structure of the Padgett messages. It successfully mimics the authentic writings in three distinct ways:
• The Recantation Formula: In genuine Padgett communications, high-profile historical spirits who taught restrictive religious dogmas on Earth almost always begin by identifying themselves, admitting they were in error, and expressing regret for misleading their followers. This fabricated text copies that exact emotional and structural trajectory.
• Flawless Use of Key Terminology: The text intentionally drops signature phrases unique to the Padgett material, such as “Divine Love of the Father,” “Celestial Spheres,” and spirits being in a “condition of error.” This makes it sound instantly familiar and authentic to a seasoned reader.
• The Mediumship Explanation: It attempts to explain Joseph Smith’s earthly revelations through the lens of Padgett’s teachings on the Laws of Rapport and Communication, claiming Smith was a well-meaning medium who accidentally tuned into “lower spirit world sources.”
Protecting the Integrity of the Truths
While the sentiments expressed in the counterfeit text align broadly with the general truths of the Divine Love doctrine, historical and textual integrity matters.
The transition of the soul, the reality of the Celestial Heavens, and the availability of the Father’s Divine Love do not need to be supported by forged documents or modern “fan fiction.” The authentic 1914–1920 messages stand firmly on their own structural, spiritual, and historical merits.
If you encounter this Joseph Smith text on social media, in forums, or in unauthorized publications, please be aware that it is a modern text designed to sound like James Padgett, but it holds no historical validity within the true Padgett archives. That the message is a copy of the Padgett style does not make it genuine.
A genuine message from Joseph Smith
In 2015 Joseph Smith did communicate via another medium, a very experienced Divine Love medium and so we stand by that message
