Little children

The letter immediately after the second letter of Peter is 1 John. In that letter, and in only that letter in all of the other letters of the NT, (not including the gospels) is found the phrase “Little children.” The term "Little children" is found in 1 John a total of seven times. Seven shows completion. Here are other verses that show completion: Matthew 12:45; 15:34;18:21-22;22:25; Mark 8:20, and on and on. Seven is also associated with heaven. If you do what you are to do on earth, then you may win your reward in heaven. John was the only apostle who had the Christ formed within, explained elsewhere.

In the gospel of John, John 13:33, Jesus Christ uses the same phrase "little children" only one time when he tells his apostles that He will soon leave them. Of course Jesus Christ had the kingdom within established, and so he could address his apostles in such a manner as had John. At the time Jesus spoke to the 12 apostles John did not yet have the Christ completely established within himself, but when he wrote his letters, and the same gospel that carries his name, then he did.

Note: When the so called virgin birth of Jesus is investigated in the link "Creating myths from Guile" then the reader will see that each gospel will reflect the insights that are particular for each author. No more on that for now, excuse me.

Although John uses "little children" a similar term is used by Paul when he says simply "children." (Almost every Bible publisher, at Galatians 4:19, will mistranslate that verse calling "children" to be instead "little children.") Paul had not entered into the second coming of Christ as had John, which idea is explained in more detail elsewhere. Though Paul was spiritually mature, 1 Corinthians 2:6-16, still the Kingdom of God had not been established within him completely, nor was it completely established in his most recent life when called Max. However, among most humans the kingdom of Christ within him was formed to a high degree, and Paul was well on his way to having the Kingdom totally established within most likely in his next rebirth.

We will look at only one place where Paul uses "children” in the context of having the "Christ formed within" a little further below. Although Paul many times will call the typical Christian in the NT to be children, we need only look at one place, explained further below, to get a good idea on what is his meaning.

When John finally wrote his letters he had established the Christ completely within, or entered the second coming of Christ. Therefore his letters will be written so that he gives sufficient explanations on how faith once established must consist of proper works. He distinguishes between lip service, and true conduct befitting a Christian. He does not blend a world where faith is supreme, and works are of lesser value, yet works should be attended to all at the same time, and if the work is in error that faith in Jesus Christ saves us, which is the teaching of Paul.

Paul's teaching is for children who may be, and most likely are errant, who need a more relaxed standard. Whereas the teaching of John is closer to what Jesus taught, that though you have faith, you will go to Hell if your works are not aligned with what you say. The letter of John, as well as the gospel of John is in the mature section of the NT, when we look at how the teachings are broken up into meat for the mature, and milk for the babes.

We need to compare John with the letters of Paul to see what constitutes proper action that will get us into heaven, rather than what merely makes us feel good about ourselves. If we realize that John teaches like Jesus, to those who are model children, and Paul teaches like a parent who spoils their child, then we will be able to distinguish the different types of children each is talking to, where the former is for little children, and the latter for children.

A model child knows from many past successes that they are good, and adult like, so if they are called “Little children” they are not offended, seeing it rather as a form of endearment from their proud parent. On the other hand a spoiled child, one who knows they are constantly walking on the line between good, and bad, where they may deserve a good whipping, they do not like to be called what to them makes them seem inferior. They have from within a series of memories of mostly failures compared to their successes, and so they do not feel especially important, and calling them “Little Children” raises bad images within their psyche. To call them “Little children” may lead to their behaving even worse, and so the parent must be careful.

Here follows the opening verse on little children in 1 John.

1 John 2: 1 - 6 “ MY LITTLE children, I am writing this to you so that you may not sin; but if any one does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and he is the expiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. And by this we may be sure that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He who says "I know him" but disobeys his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him; but whoever keeps his word, in him truly love for God is perfected. By this we may be sure that we are in him: he who says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. “

Not Jesus, nor the apostles killed anyone, nor did any other Christian for three hundred years kill another to protect life, property, or possessions, and civil rights. All of that changed when Emperor Constantine reorganized Christianity, (Circa 325 AD) which lead to the Roman Catholic church. The Protestant reformation, beginning around 1517 AD, later continued many practices of the Catholic church. The children went astray following the precepts of Catholicism. The little children stood strong, those who were like the apostles, but they were murdered, or chased away by those who were called children, who are the type Paul addressed most of his letters to, for those types of children go easily astray. (No more bold type is used for children vs. little children. Hopefully that idea has been beat into the average reader's head. )

Christians should have waited until Mohammed, the Prophet, arrived as proven further below in the previous link, but they did not. Had they waited, then they could have done pretty much as so called Christians do today, by killing if necessary to protect life, property, and civil rights. Instead of waiting, the children became disobedient, taking mature matters into their own hands, and they did what they thought their parents were too stupid to do. (Well, doesn't it look that way, if you think about it.)

Here is a rather simple idea, but as yet needs tuning up, still the idea is made to be obvious enough that when someday I have made it mathematically rigorous that it should be part of every class taught in middle school.

--------------------------------------------------------

In elementary mathematics, such as is done where one creates proofs by saying: This first part is valid due to the law of commutivity, the next can be done due to the law of association, here is Identity, and so on, so that eventually one proves by using the previous axioms that their conclusion, or theorem is valid, so the same should be done in religion with the letter of 1 John, and with passages in the Gospels. In fact the entire Bible should be analyzed in such a manner. If that method of investigation is not applied to the Bible, and the Qur'an, then universal brotherhood will never be possible.

I will now apply such thinking to the letter of 1 John. Realize that I need to be more exact, but until I fix this completely, until then, where I am going right now should be obvious to anyone mathematically inclined. The word Fellowship used in the NT is defined as the fellowship we are to have with Christ, and his apostles. That is the definition of Fellowship when read in the context of the NT.

( For anyone with a degree in math, especially a Masters, or PhD, they should email me the completed proof that I only show vaguely below. Come on, can't anyone help out? Fourteen years of my doing everything alone, this is ridiculous.)

Then we say that there is a law of commutativity in religion, which is sort of like the math commutative law. Here it is 1 John 5-6 "This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth."

We could say L (light) + G (God) = G + L

and NF (No Fellowship) + D (Darkness) = D + NF

We also need to state that an element in the domain of L + G can not be found in the domain of D + NF, and visa versa.

Say if b, c, and f are elements of L + G, then they are excluded from D + NF. Also any element say x, y, z that is an element of NF + D can not also be in L + G.

Then we add another principle, which might be called the associative law. This associative law is the most ignored law of all in the so called Christian world. As a result of ignoring it, then people say they are Christians, and commune with Jesus, when in fact they are liars, and commune with the Devil. We will see the next axiom seems similar to the above, but it goes into a little more detail. To some it seems "so what, Commutative, Associative, they seem pretty much the same," but there is a difference.

1 John 2:3-6 "Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, "I know Him,'' and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

We need to then establish what is God, and Light, and how one can be exchanged with the other, but how darkness has no part with either. We will find that walking in the walk of Jesus, and the apostles then gives us examples of the domain we must work within, so to be in the light, and how being outside of it leads to darkness.

Jesus did not kill, nor did the apostles, nor did any Christian for 300 years, but since Emperor Constantine came, that changed. Prophecy shows that since Mohammed came that new principles were presented from the kingdom of Christ that showed under those conditions you can kill to uphold the principles of Christ, and yet Christians went a second time against the commandments of Christ by going against the Koran, and fighting Muslims.

We also know that within the early Christian community that it was wrong to rape, steal, fornicate, be a homosexual, and so on. Those people would be excluded from fellowship. In the USA the president calls this a Christian nation, but we see within this nation that there is homosexuality, fornication, adultery, journalists who lie constantly in the news, (but tell us they are honest), judges breaking the laws, (proven by the miracles) and this is protected, and considered to be acceptable behavior. Such conduct according to Jesus, and the apostles is not part of L + G.

So we know that unless some other scripture tells us different, then those that kill, steal, fornicate, commit adultery, and so on are not elements of G + L. Those that allow rape, drugs, and violence by having loose standards, and not teaching righteousness, and also killing, such as for example in Iraq, to protect their property, life, and civil rights here in the US, all the while they say they are a Christian nation are not elements of L + G. Christians do not accept the Koran, so they exclude themselves from protecting their religion by using force. Just because Emperor Constantine did it, there was no scripture he used to validate his force, which many times lead to murder. There was prophecy that said Constantine would come, who is called the Lawless one, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12 but within the verses it is not said that God also gave him scripture to uphold his actions so as to be in accord with the Kingdom of God. God allowed this to happen, so it is part of God's mysterious plan, and the Catholic church is not to be condemned, but its power is destined soon to end. Like a child growing up, humanity must leave their immature beliefs, and deeds behind.

Therefore currently the USA is a liar, and they follow the devil. Of course all so called Christian nations are the same. Elsewhere in this site it is shown that the US Constitution, created by Free Masons, is based upon Islamic principals. Since the OT, and NT gives prophecy on Islam, then the US Government contains the laws of all three religions, and it has the potential to give correct guidance, even if the US citizens are ignorant, which most are. Therefore the US can actually fight to secure all the blessing granted by the Constitution, and no spiritual law has been violated. An amazing document. The problem is that most all US citizens are unaware of the idea that they should not fight so quickly against Islamic nations. They should at least treat them like a Christian nation, granting them a broad ground for diplomatic negotiations, rather than pretending to have negotiated, and then invading their nation, which is the common practice today.

A little time on preaching, and other ideas follows, and then back to the how we need to find rules in the NT, which are like the rules in mathematics, so we can properly interpret the Bible.

The US Citizen is much like the typical Christian who says they are a Christian, when due to ignorance, they are not. This activity must be changed. The Devil is smart, even brilliant compared to smart humans, so that would only support the idea that the beautiful world created by science, that such laws that make for this beautiful world can be helped to be found by the Devil too. Angels of God can also help, but so can the Devil show how to create many technological wonders. The difference on if the walking in the light is found among humans is ultimately how the human applies their discoveries to their association with others. So the Devil helped to create some discoveries, he should be treated as a fool for doing so.

Since humans can reform, like the apostle Paul turned from killing Christians, to becoming one, so can the fallen angels reform too. Many of the Devils are now our helpers, who strive to correct the wrong they did to us in the past. Just like many Jews converted to Christianity, but most did not, so among the billions of fallen angels, there are those who were once called devils, who have now converted, and are redeeming themselves. Since the fallen angels are of the same order as the Holy Spirit, but only fallen from grace, then they can make a person feel that they are following the proper religion. The Mormon church is full of redeemed fallen angels, and so naturally a strong spiritual presence will be felt in the Mormon faith.

Note: The mature faith taught by me does not rely upon external angelic forces to make one feel good, instead you do it yourself, which is done by your own good deeds, and good life. So therefore if left alone, and a person is waiting to be lead by feelings, like those coming from the fallen angels, whether redeemed, or not, for the feelings are near identical, then you will never feel an external thing in my faith of maturity. You are not following the proper path by waiting for a spiritual orgasm, or some good feeling to fool you to lead you the way. You must find the truth, examine your actions, and find good feelings from within.

Every Christian church today uses some sort of angelic force to make the person feel good. After all there are billions of fallen angels, more than enough to go around. Even if the person does wrong, such as seen in the miracles, or by murdering others, like in so called Holy Wars, (Iraq is one such war) the angelic forces makes one feel good, so long as the person follows their leader, such as a Pope if Catholic, or for other churches their ministry board, and their dictates.The fallen angels oversees them all. If you feel like something is wrong, then you have a conscience, but if you allow external feelings from fallen angels to lead you on, you will always be a child. You may say: how can God be so cruel to let us be lead astray? Rather, you are being tested, and why are you so cruel? End Note.

The Mormon Church is one religion founded by the reformed devils. Those reformed fallen angels, still have things to be improved within themselves. So they do good, all the while they lead humans on, so in the process the fallen angels can benefit too. It is a mutual association where humans, and reformed angels each benefit the other. The Catholic church is becoming similar, but they began by the unreformed fallen angels, where the unreformed Devil took the original teachings of Jesus, and perverted it. The Mormon church could be considered more Christian than the Catholic, but in a moment, that can all change.

There are spiritual wars in heaven, which are then brought down to earth. It is for you to decide what side you will join, which explains the complexities on earth. After all in human tests on earth, from grade school to High School, and beyond there are always more lessons to learn, but right now for most of humanity, including Muslims, and Jews, concerning spiritual school , they are like stuck in grade school.

Simply read the NT, and compare some of the ideas held by the Mormons, and you will find they contradict one another. Of course the beliefs of the Catholic church contradict the Bible too, but those contradictions are already covered well enough in this site elsewhere. Here are a few examples of the Mormons.

Jesus said that when a person dies, they are like the angels, and no one is married, but the Mormons say people who are married in this life remain married after death, for eternity. In the gospels we are told that in heaven we are neither male or female, and have no need for sexual pleasures there like most need here in this life. Another difference with Mormons is Baptism.

Baptism by water in the gospels is only symbolism, and is not required to be saved. Mormons baptize not only the living of the Mormon faith, but also vicariously baptize those who have died, and never heard the gospel of Jesus Christ, or heard the book of Mormon. They say this is their chance, for the dead, to hear the good news and be saved, but they say the dead can reject it. The Mormons say the choice is theirs, at least they were given it. Jesus never baptized anyone with water.

When John baptized Jesus it was symbolism, that is all, which shows our earlier state before the fall by the Devil. (Not explained in detail here. Paul is big on water baptism, but then he is preaching to children.) In the letter of 1 Peter 3:21, it says that water does not save us, but a renewed conscience, or a good conscience, or by a mind that is righteous, which comes about by the resurrection of Jesus Christ within, that is what saves us. Baptism is for children, whose mind is not yet mature, who need simple ideas to make them feel saved. It merely fools them into being submissive to church authority so that hopefully they may by righteous deeds some day receive the real baptism of the Christ within.

John the Baptist said: Matthew 3:7-8 "But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, " Brood of vipers! Who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance" ." So what good is baptism if your fruit is what is important? The answer: nothing really unless you are immature, then it can temporarily fool you so one might think they are saved. Many people once fooled, are fooled until they die. In Church it is used to coerce others, or fool others about being saved, but other than a mental trick, and a temporary feeling of spirituality, it is of no value. Since most people do not think, then the trick is very effective, as witnessed by billions of people, over thousands of years who think water baptism is absolutely necessary in order to be saved. If you are mature, baptism by water is a waste of time.

Jesus never used water to baptize anyone, only His disciples used water. So then, since the disciples are less than Jesus, baptism by water is for children, it is of no value to becoming a mature person in Christ. Water can be energized by a person, if the person who makes a blessing is spiritual, so that temporarily a good feeling may be conferred upon the receiver, but if they are a viper, then a few days later, or sooner they are a viper again. It is your conscience that is made virtuous that is important, not baptism by water.

There are other Mormon teachings that go against the NT, all of which really are not important, because if overall the teachings lead one to be good, and righteous they may enter heaven by being fooled, for it is by your fruits you know them. The fruits of the Mormon faith are basically righteous.

Anyway, since currently so called Christians do not apply the axioms, or laws of religion to their thinking, then they say that since they confess Jesus with their lips, then they are among the fellowship of Christ. They use this conclusion, without using the previous laws to prove if it applies to themselves.

1 John 3:23-24 "And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment. Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us."

Most all Christians say we believe in his name, and for them that ends the proof, they are now in the Fellowship of Christ. However, we have proven that they are lying. Here is another one where they ignore the laws of religion.

1 John 4:15-16 "Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him."

However, to say the obvious, that is it should be obvious by now, since these people do not practice what Jesus says, then they walk in the darkness, and they are liars about confessing that Jesus is the Son of God. Many of these children are mislead, for they have not applied the laws of religion to their faith. Most so called Christians firmly believe with all of their heart, mind, and soul in Jesus Christ, but the laws of religion say they are deluded.

Unfortunately the deluded are not interested in math, or science, save to get all the benefits from it they can, from the others who are interested in it, who created the beautiful world around us. So, the same happens again where these so called Christians want all the best in religion, without ever applying themselves to it either. As a result they are either hypocrites, or totally deluded.

A vaccine to save billions, like to cure small pox, does not come by ignoring the laws of nature. If one believes by intense faith they can overcome small pox, or not be harmed by polio without being administered the vaccine first is doomed to die, or be scarred for life by small pox, or doomed to be crippled for life by polio. When a person dies who has intense faith in Jesus, all the while the do not apply the laws of religion to their belief, they are going to hell. They will be in what seems like hell with Polio in this life if they ignore the blessings of science, and they will be the heirs of hell in the spiritual worlds after they die until the angels of God decree their suffering is over if they ignore the laws of religion.

Please learn now, and do not go to Hell, for the laws in this material world are still in operation when you die, and because you did not apply the spiritual vaccine of righteousness to your life, then when such a person enters the spiritual world they will be in their own hell.

Those who do not practice applying the spiritual axioms explained above to their life are practicing lawlessness. The gospel of Matthew, where Matthew was a tax collector for the Roman Government, is the one gospel that was designed more than any other gospel for my return, so that I may bring the so called Christian back into the fold of Jesus. My father was a career Army officer, and I was born in a Naval Hospital. Your taxes supported both him and me. I won't go into all the details, but if they are shown, it will been seen that my life is interwoven with the US Government, where taxes are what have supported me most of my life, rather than me paying taxes. Matthew 16:17 - 19 is the only one that says the church is built upon me. Matthew is the only one that says this: Matthew 7:19 - 24 " "Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them. 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!' Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:"

The above is sufficient to prove that most every so called Christian is not really a Christian. Still I see the good in what they do, even though many times they are in the domain of darkness, and are not heirs to Christ. Anything toward the good is better than nothing at all, still we should realize that it will never allow them entry into the kingdom of God until they practice more rigorously the laws of religion.

A person may correctly say that the Christian is forgiven, however, they are forgiven for the sins they committed while in ignorance. They can be forgiven by other humans who they have harmed, once they are no longer ignornant. However, polio does not care if after you are crippled, that you learned your lesson when it was too late. So how the laws of God operate after death, are another thing we must eventually learn. We need to be prepared to counter our misdeeds in this life, even if our fellow human forgives us, for after death the laws of God continue on. We need to learn what are those deeper laws, and most of them I can not help you on, I can only help on the simple ones.

Anyone reading this web site, and learning what is taught here, which is true guidance for their soul to God, and then they go against it, no human should forgive them, and they are condemned. The children of darkness will say such things as the following to make it seem I am in error: Matthew 18:21-22 "Then Peter came to Him and said, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?'' Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven." The children of darkness use that hoping you are uneducated, or simple minded so they may deceive you.

The proper understanding of that verse means to apply knowledge to your faith, so that you make it complete, so you may apply love. Forgiveness does not mean you allow one to sin endlessly, instead you correct them, and if they will not yield to correction, then you have learned that this person is not your brother, or sister or mother in Christ. Forgive until you learn they are evil, and are up to no good. From the axioms above we know how to look at the person who claims to be a brother. If they do not walk in the light, then they are not your brother, but they are a liar.

Here in the gospel of Luke we see a similar command by Jesus on forgiveness: Luke 17:3-5 "Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, `I repent,' you shall forgive him.'' And the apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith.'' So the Lord said, "If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, `Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you."

We may better understand that saying by Jesus if we look at what is said in 2 Peter 1:5-7 " But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love."

Faith is the beginning. Then to that we add virtue. Once we have a certain degree of virtue, we must have faith that we will continue on in virtue, and from that we add knowledge, then we have acquired more things to have faith in, and then we must be virtuous in that area of new knowledge, and the cycle continues on. Then we add self control so we start on that item with faith, and then add virtue in our self control, and learn more knowledge in our self control, and so on continuing up, all of this being done so that we reinforce that which we gained earlier, so our faith become more certain, and is growing. We can then see that if we were able to learn a great body of knowledge, self control, and so on, that eventually we could build a machine, or learn the laws of nature that would allow us to uproot a tree, or even a mountain, and cast it into the sea. Simply believing that you can stop a train by will power alone, or do any other miracle by resorting to nothing but simple faith is to be deluded. Jesus did not openly tell us he was not crucified, one has to figure it out on their own. So it is in understanding what Jesus means by growing in faith. So it is when Jesus says that which seems other wise absurd, to forgive your brother seven times seventy.

Paul says it well in the babes section, and then we supplement that which is for children with what Peter, in the meat area, says needs to be filled in between so that the end may be achieved. 1 Corinthians 13:11 - 13 "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. "

We go from faith to love, and we become mature when we practice the difficult method explained above taken from the letter of 2 Peter.

All who read this site, and learn correct guidance, they should not attend any church that does not adhere to the principles taught by me. Jesus gave me that authority, as His church is built upon me, Matthew 16:18-19, so to go against this is to be condemned by Jesus Christ. If you refuse these teachings you are no better than Judas the traitor who Jesus said Mark 14:21 “It was better that he had never been born.”

If we do not investigate more closely the teachings of Jesus, then we would have to conclude that Jesus has become a hypocrite, or he always was one, and he is a revenging man, who would seem to be the last person any true Holy man, or woman should follow. Jesus had said before Judas turned him over to be crucified, that we should forgive, and then later after Jesus was supposedly crucified, Jesus says It would be better if Judas had never been born.

Clearly Judas was sorry, for he brought back the silver the priests gave him to betray Jesus, and then Judas went out and hung himself. How much more repenting does a person need to be to have Jesus forgive them? Judas appears to be near a saint when he finally sees his error. Clearly Jesus must have another idea in mind, when he said that "It was better he had never been born."

------------------------------

Here soon follows only one of the many times that the phrase “children” appears. The apostle Paul under the influence of the Holy Spirit writes this time. This letter of Galatians, where “children” is found also speaks about matters where the First Council in Jerusalem was held. Since that time no other true council, where the Holy Spirit was behind it, in Christianity has ever been convened until our time today. (And the apostles are still waiting for the children to be obedient, so that they may implement the laws of that new council. ) That does not mean that in other organizations, like Free Masonry, including the RF, or in places like the Self Realization Fellowship, that the Holy Spirit had not convened other councils.

We will see below a warning in these verses that speaks of an allegory. Most children have no idea what an allegory is, and much less know how to interpret it correctly. However billions of Christians interpret this allegory as if they are correct. Like disobedient children they stand proud, and defiant that they know what all things mean, and that their parents are stupid. The allegory will be explained afterwards.

Galatians 4:19-25 “My children, with whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you! I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you. Tell me, you who desire to be under law, do you not hear the law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave and one by a free woman. But the son of the slave was born according to the flesh, the son of the free woman through promise. Now this is an allegory: these women are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery; she is Hagar. Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children."

Many Christians will say those verses reflect upon the followers of Islam, who are like Judaism in that they are bound by laws, and do not have faith in Jesus Christ. However, those Christians, which are the great majority, have interpreted the allegory literally, which proves they are a babe in Christ.

If one will only read all of their Bible, Genesis 17:20, they will immediately notice that Ishmael, the son of the slave woman, also had a promise given to him. Paul tells us that all who accept Jesus Christ, Galatians 4:6 - 7, that they are also heirs of the promise given to Isaac, so they are of Christ. In Mark 14:36 Jesus cries out "Abba,"(Abba is Aramaic for Father) and asks that God remove the crucifixion from him, which happens when Simon of Cyrene, the future prophet Mohammed, is crucified. Abba is also found in Galatians 4:6-7, and Romans 8:15-17, where both times "heirs to the promise" is found. Therefore, this is one more proof among many others to be shown in this site that the Koran is a salvation for our soul.

Muslims believe in Jesus Christ as a great prophet of God, for the Koran speaks of him several times, so they have been blessed twice: Once for being descendants of Ishmael, for those who are of the 12 tribes promised to Ishmael, and a second time for accepting the teachings in the Koran, where they are told to accept Jesus Christ. The Koran even says to walk in the light as John says "little children" should walk in the light if they are truly the followers of Jesus. The Koran does not say give lip service, but to be doers of the word. In other words Muslims are more Christian than are Christian themselves. We see from what little has been explained so far, that the allegory of two covenants can not be taken literally as it has been taken by about 2 billion Christians today. Some Christians then further say that Muslims are condemned, for they do not have faith in Jesus Christ.

Concerning faith, even atheists have faith in reality. They believe that another day will come, the sun will rise again, and what they have planned today, will continue to bear fruit tomorrow, and there after. Faith is found in everyone, though most are unaware they live by faith. Paul has written his works as if only Christians, and Abraham, and a few others have faith in God. Where as in reality, faith abounds in all mankind, and most have faith in God, and God's creation. Paul has taken the obvious, and made it as if it is a difficult concept to put into practice, when in fact even a child unknowingly does it all the time. Such silliness is the trademark of the typical Christian, children, who think they have conquered an obstacle, like climbing a mountain, that only the hardy can climb.

In order to understand the above allegory of two women with different covenants it will be instructive to understand another allegory concerned with Babylon that is associated with the time the archangel Michael appeared, when I was called Zerubbabel, who was held captive in Babylon (Explained further below in the previous link) back at the time the book of Daniel was written, 6^th century BC, which has prophecy within that book which corresponds to today. The archangel Michael appeared to me in 1998 AD.

The background found here is taken from the book “The Rosicrucian Christianity lectures,” pages 237 - 242, written by the reborn apostle Paul, who was then called Max. Lazarus, the friend of Jesus, who Jesus raised from the so called dead, is the person who is the leader behind the order of Rosicrucians. Obviously Jesus is intimately connected with the order of Rosicrucians. This small area I quote should lead the reader to realize they need to read every other work written by the reborn apostle Paul. His explanation below ends with the same idea Paul speaks about in the opening verses before the allegory of the two women with two covenants, where he says “ My children, with whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you!”

As said in other links, the works of the RF are written much like the NT, where there are two teachings. One for the mature, and another for the child. After all, Paul who wrote many of the letters in the NT, was reborn as Max, and so he once again wrote two levels in the works of the RF. The word "Lucifer" found below in the article by Max, is one word that has on the surface level a meaning for a child, but it also contains another level that assists the mature to find the truth. For now, without giving a proof, the deeper truth on Lucifer is that it symbolically represents the Catholic Church, and all other churches that accept the ideas of the Second Ecumenical Council. Since every church, including the Mormons accept something from that council, then they are following the Devil, but when they become mature, they follow the Christ. As said earlier, some of those once considered Devils are redeeming themselves, and so all of the childish Christians today are not as bad as one thinks is the trait of the ancient Devil, still let us leave childishness behind, and go on to perfection; while learning perfection, we must also learn who have reformed, and who pretend to have reformed.

What is explained below will be better understood after reading this entire web site, and all of the works of the RF, and then coming back to read this place again. No doubt some will be able to figure out what is said below the first time, but most will not.

The Rosicrucian Christianity Lectures (Pages 237 - 242.)

This idea is carried out right through the Bible. In Isaiah 14 he is called Lucifer (day-star), king of Babel-On (gate of the sun), a city located upon seven hills, and having dominion over the World. There mankind ceased to act in unison and became separated into warring nations. It is the seed-ground of all the ills imaginable, and is called a "harlot" in Revelation, where her fall is described.

In supreme antithesis we hear of another "Light of the World," a "bright morning-star," a true light (Christ), who shall rise after the fall of Babylon and reign forever in a city of peace: Jer-u-salem, that is called the "bride." It comes down from heaven, and has twelve gates, but they are never closed, although the precious tree of life is within. There is no outside illumination. The light is within and there is no night.

Truly a wonderful city, and the greatest imaginable antithesis to the other. What does it mean? for literal interpretation is out of the question in both cases. Allowing that a city of Babylon has existed, it was not literally as described, and the future "New Jerusalem" is contrary to all laws of nature as we know them. These two cities must therefore be symbols.

In order to unravel the meaning, let us consider that these cities are located upon seven hills or mountains, a position offering special advantages for observation. Moses went "into the mountain" and "saw" and "heard," so did those on "the mount" of Transfiguration. Daniel likens Babylon to the head of the image Nebuchadnezzar saw in a dream, and on the human head there are seven places of observation: two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, and a mouth. Upon these sits the brain, where the "Light-giver," reason, rules the little world, the microcosm, as the Great Light-giver, God, rules the macrocosm.

[238]

Reason is the product of selfishness. It is generated by the mind given by the "Powers of Darkness," in a brain built by selfishly keeping half the sex-force, and prompted by the selfish Lucifers, hence it is "the seed of the serpent," and although transmuted to Wisdom through pain and sorrow, it must give way to something higher--to Intuition, which means: teaching from within. That is a spiritual faculty, equally present in all Spirits, whether functioning for the time being as man or woman, but it expresses itself most prominently in those incarnated in a female organism, for there the counterpart of the Life Spirit--the vital body--is male, positive; and intuition, the faculty of the Life Spirit, may therefore properly be called "the woman's seed," whence all altruistic tendencies spring, and whereby all nations are being slowly but surely drawn together in a Universal Brotherhood of Love, regardless of Race, sex, or color.

This brain of ours is not a homogeneous whole, however; it is divided into two halves, and it is a fact well known to physiologists that we use principally but one of these cerebral hemispheres--the left. The right half of our brain is only partially active. The heart also is on the left side of our body, but is beginning to move towards "the right" place. The "right" brain will also become more and more active, and in consequence of these two physiological changes man's whole character will appear different. The left side is under the sway of the Lucifers and is given over to selfishness, but the Ego will gain more and more control as the right side of the brain is invested with power to act upon the body as right judgment.

[239]

That there is a change going on in the heart which makes it an anomaly, a puzzle, is not news to physiologists. We have two sets of muscles, one set is under the control of the will, as, for instance, the muscles of arm and hand. They are striped both lengthwise and crosswise. The involuntary muscles, which take care of functions not under control of the will, which cannot be moved by desire, are striped lengthwise only. The heart is the only exception. It is not under the control of desire, and yet it is beginning to show cross-stripes like a voluntary muscle.

In time those cross-stripes will develop fully and the heart will be under our control. When that time comes we will be able to direct the blood where we will to send it. Then we may refuse to send it to the left brain, and Babylon, the city of Lucifer, will fall.

When the blood is sent into the right brain we shall be building the New Jerusalem, and we are now preparing for that time by building the cross-stripes on the heart by altruistic ideals or, in the case of the pupil, by sending the sex current through the right-hand path of the heart.

We remember that the Cherubim awakened the Life Spirit, the seat of divine love, whose shadow is the vital body, the medium of propagation, and when man was exiled from the Etheric Region, the garden of Eden, with its four streams of Ether, for the misuse of the sex force, the Cherubim were placed before it with a flaming sword. The right use of the sex force builds an organ which will give man the key to the inner Worlds and help him to create by thought. Then sorrow and pain will cease and he will have entered the path to the city of peace--Jer-u-salem.

[240]

Lemuria perished by fire and terrible volcanic cataclysms. In its stead rose Atlantis. In time that was buried beneath the waves and gave way to Aryan, the Earth as we see it at present in the Aryan Epoch, but that is soon past. The salamanders are beginning to stir the fires in the forge to make "a new heaven and a new Earth," which the Western School of Occultism calls the "New Galilee."

In the first two Epochs man evolved a body and vitalized it; in the Lemurian Epoch he developed desire; the Atlantean Epoch produced cunning; and the fruitage of the Aryan Epoch is reason.

In the New Galilee humanity will have a much finer and more ethereal body than now, the Earth will be transparent also, and as a result those bodies will be more easily responsive to the spiritual impacts of intuition. Such a body will not get tired either, hence there is no night, and the twelve cranial nerves, which are the gates to the seat of consciousness, then as now are consequently never closed. Besides, New Galilee will be formed of luminous ether and transmit sunlight. That land will be a land of peace (Jer-u-salem), for Universal Brotherhood will bind all beings of all the Earth together in Love. There can be no death, for the tree of life, the faculty for generating vital force, is made possible by means of the ethereal organ in the head already mentioned, which will be evolved in those who are even now being taken out as forbears for the humanity of that coming Epoch.

[241]

That Race is spoken of as "Christ's Race"; but, be it understood that that is not because of an exterior Christ, but because they will evolve the Christ-principle within, they will act as dictated by the spirit through Intuition, and all they do will be done in Love. Only by such individual upliftment can the salvation of the Race be accomplished, for as Angelus Silesius put it,

Though Christ a thousand times in Bethlehem be born,

And not within thyself, thy soul will be forlorn,

The cross on Golgotha thou lookest to in vain

Unless within thyself it be set up again." End quote.

We may be assured that in the letter of Galatians where the covenant of two women is told, that it is not to be taken literally, anymore than Babylon should be taken literally. The reborn apostle Paul also brings up an idea found only in the letter of 2 Peter 19 - 21. Quoted below. Here is where that quote is found above: In supreme antithesis we hear of another "Light of the World," a "bright morning-star," a true light (Christ), who shall rise after the fall of Babylon and reign forever in a city of peace: Jer-u-salem, that is called the "bride."

Here it is found only in 2 Peter 19 - 21 “And we have the prophetic word made more sure. You will do well to pay attention to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, because no prophecy ever came by the impulse of man, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.”

The allegory Paul speaks about in Galatians corresponds to the same reasoning as found above concerning Babylon. The one woman who is in bondage are those who have not the Christ formed within, and those who are free are those who have the Christ within. Currently Christians use the allegory in the literal sense, and say that either Islam, or Judiasm is the teaching that is in error. In reality, the Koran is the very book that helps lead the Christian on to their salvation. Paul ends the letter of Galatians 5:1 - 6:18, talking in a manner that shows the covenant is to be taken symbolically, that is once one is educated, and knows what to look for. In fact Paul even gives a hint that Jesus was not crucified: Galatians 5:11 “ But if I, brethren, still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? In that case the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.”

He calls the cross a stumbling block, which means that people stumble over the word of God not because it requires faith, which every child today thinks, but because it requires knowledge. Christians like disobedient children refuse to move beyond faith, and grasp knowledge. They think they know it all. Peter said 2 Peter 1:5 “For this very reason make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.”

These verses, 1 Peter 2:1 - 17, not quoted, which were seen before in the Home page, concerning “longing for the word of God without guile,” also speaks as does Paul, that we are to leave a life of malice, trickery, and insincerity behind us, and not enter into such traits again. Bad children are insincere, they think that by trickery they can pull the wool over the eyes of their parents, and they treat their parents with malice. They wish to gain more earthly pleasures in so doing. An obedient child will accept the Koran, and put the childishness of a literally crucified Christ away, so that it is now treated like the story of Santa Claus, which knowldegeable children eventually outgrow. Be little children until the Christ is formed in you.
