Above all else, our thinking about God needs to be de-mystified,
because any Revelation from God is vitiated by making it
mystical and confusing, impossible to understand! - Site Author

- Jesus is the original human being and the originator of
the spiritual and physical universe. He is the "Son" of God not
because the "Father" preceded him in time sequence, but by virtue of
being willing to lay down his life and be born as a literal son of Mary and
the heavenly Father.
- The "Father" is the spiritually unified corpus of the unfallen
human beings or children citizens in the universe, which have been given
the actual, effective sovereignty and control of it. Jesus is the most
admired and respected member of that family, but because of the
unmitigated, unalloyed unity of purpose, values and plan of the family, he has no
desire NOR NEED to exercise any dominion over it. There is never any
contest of wills. His influence is unsurpassed but never imposed. He
clearly let us know that he defers to the will of the Father; who has
the "power and the glory, forever." Jesus gets one equal vote and
chooses NOT to USE it.
- The "Holy Spirit" is the "I am a God"
mindset, the supreme spirit,
the adequate, all-sufficient attitude of the unified family of human beings including
that of the Originator. There is no deistic trinity of persons. That concept is rooted
in the trimurti, the three aligned planets of
Mars, Venus and Saturn that loomed overhead in the ancient sky; and it is buttressed
by and defended with a misunderstanding of the phrase that Jesus used, "In the name of the Father
the Son, and the Holy Spirit." "In the name of" means consonant with,
aligned with, in the spirit of, with the authority of. The role of the "God spirit" or attitude of seeking the truth will
lead us into all the truth.
- The deplorable human condition is awful beyond our willingness or capacity to fully
embrace; hence we are generally in some degree of denial. We are immersed in
an environment of paucity, uncertainty, competition, frustration,, risk, danger,
and constant diminishment. We slog through trials and tribulations, careen from one
vicissitude to another, constantly at risk, vulnerable to physical
damage and disease, and emotional distress if not outright suffering.
All the while we are ineluctably marching toward the grave, aging and
dying, losing our vim, vigor, vitality and virility, often losing our
sensory capacities like vision and hearing as well along the way.
- The Ecclesia is not a church but rather a group of Believers that come
into unity and take responsibility and receive empowerment. The great resolution
of the human condition will take place when an effective ecclesia develops.
It is this ecclesia
and/or its members in the Kingship that will be in charge, make the
decisions, and do the resurrecting and sharing the Gospel with all.
- The Truth that is sensible, that is rational, logical, and reasonable is
the truth that will set us free. That freedom must incorporate both the freedom from evil but also the
liberty to be what we are and to express our wills and be the master of our own
lives. Just like our own children do when they achieve adulthood. That level of freedom
and liberty can only be delivered via
supremacy through equality.
- If there is a God worthy of the term, that God must be
good to a degree and in a way that we can relate to in order to get
motivated and inspired in order to make THE difference.
Why wouldn't we conceive of God being all-the-way good? And who gets
to define goodness for me, for us? I do, we do. If you can describe a better package of goodness than
what is proposed on this site, let me know what I have misconceived or left out.
- If God is all the way good, then that agency must offer the totality of our
intrinsic needs and legitimate desires to us in our lifetime. We should NOT
ineluctably have to die to get the fulfillment of these.
- There is probably just one issue left to settle in the
wider Universe, and that is whether the human race has enough spiritual
virtue to care enough–to come out of denial and apathy–to choose to believe
God IS this good, has available this level of what is being offered to us,
and to listen to his directives and his instructions. So far, evidently
we haven't demonstrated this.
- The instructions and directions must be simple,
reasonable, and pleasant, not arduous, daunting, risky or complicated.
As in, "My yoke is pleasant, my burden is light."
- The Kingship of the Heavens was
Jesus' term for peership with himself and empowerment equal to his own.
This term was NOT a reference to a state of mind, nor a tangible realm,
nor was it the presence of Jesus, nor was it a reference to a benevolent political system with God
at the head, nor was it just a reference to a benign environment filled with
love and harmony. None of the above! The inauguration of the Kingship
is ALWAYS imminent, depending upon our response.
It is the unity that Jesus requested that will deliver
the Kingship of the Heavens to us, because it will engender greater
fellowship, commitment, confidence, understanding, personal growth,
etc., and will enable God to support us fully. Seeking the truth is seeking to come into unity of
paradigm, purpose, and values with the family of God and each other.
- Jesus and his life on earth IS the paradigm, showing that God is, was, and
always will be totally and only human, that his character makes him to
be primarily, first and foremost, the servant for others, NOT the sovereign
potentate or dominator. The life, deeds, and message of Jesus are the
supreme source for us as to what is true about the God family.
- What God will NOT do is meddle directly in our minds,
nor in our lives or human affairs in a controlling way, and then only
when legitimately given permission.
- There has never been nor there ever wil such a thing as nothing. It is
only a conceptual contrast with something.
- Jesus did NOT talk about us obeying God!
Rather we are to be mature sons where the role of the Father entity is
ultimately to serve us as individuals. The obedience mentality comes right
out of the false legalistic paradigm, where God is the
author of fiat laws and rules instead of principles and values. Legalism is NOT COMPATIBLE with the
Gospel truth!
- Praying and fasting should never be burdensome or required, and are
never meritorious when it is so. Praying for anything other than to be led
into the truth and the Kingship of the Heavens is misguided.
- Foreknowledge and prophecy are limited
- (1)There is ample evidence for the credibility of Jesus being
resurrected.
- Jesus defined sin as missing the mark in terms of our
CONCEPT and understanding of both the nature (human) and character of
God the Son and God the Father.
Evil is the result of Original sin, and the whole universe is
adversely affected.
- The path to the truth involves the inward journey AND unfailing belief
in the truth.
- The unfallen family WANTS to be understood and CAN be understood
better than we can understand each other. That understanding ramifies thusly: "And this is eternal life (salvation,
being made safe and secure), that they understand you and
he whom you have sent."
- Visions and dream do not come from God, but from the unconscious mind.
- We are the children of God, especially when we seek
the truth about him and ourselves, and children are NOT inherently or
indefinitely inferior to their parents.
- The original sin has been personified.
- The "Word of God" cannot be scriptures.
- The beginning of the resurrection will be the end of the current age,
and begin the Age of Judgment/Salvation. All who choose to accept the truth
in the full light of ALL the historical information, and choose to live
unified within this realization will thereby be saved, healed, incorporated
into the family and have eternal life and all that goes with it.
- Through no fault of his own, Jesus failed at that time to inaugurate
the healing of the human race, and thus said to his followers who WILL
accomplish this, "When the Son of Man passes, will he find true belief on
the earth? Obviously not!" and "Greater things than these will you do."
