If Jesus were to return
to-day, He would be very much surprised and upset to find so many of the
denominations. In fact, these
denominations are like the blind men describing an elephant. For example, John, the Baptist was not a
light but a witness to the Light, i.e. an Angel but not a Saint, so in the
Baptist Churches that belong to John, the Baptist, an ideal priest of Moses or
best described as Prophet Elijah, what sense does it make to sing the songs of
Jesus? Therefore, let us first
appreciate the reasons for the coming of Jesus before we can speak about the
Church that He came to establish.
Jesus is known to everybody
as the Light of this Dark Age but what created the Darkness so that this Light,
the Christ of God, had to appear!!!
Before Jesus, we used to
have Rabbi who were the priests of Moses and the synagogues where the
"written Torah" of Moses was read could also be called the temples of
Moses. An ideal priest of Moses has been
defined by Jesus in Matt.13.52 as the owner of a House (Synagogue), who bringth
out Treasures old (written Torah) and the New (Oral Torah). The "written Torah" being passed
from generation to generation is also called the "old cloth" and the
corruptions in it are the "holes".
These corruptions could be rectified or darned by the spirit of
"His Word", Oral Torah only i.e. Jesus came to fulfil the law but not
to demolish it - Matt.5.17. At the same
time, you cannot patch the old cloth with the New Cloth of Jesus i.e. you
cannot mix the "written Torah", the "letters" of Moses with
the New Testament of "Spirit".
When the priests of Moses
became materialistic and corrupt, God took the spirit to understand 'His Word'
or the 'Oral Torah' away from them and they were left with the
"letters" of the written Torah to ply with for their living. The "letters", old wine, created
so much Darkness that they even hated Jesus when He was healing the sick people
on Sabbath, a holy day to be best celebrated through performing holy works or
deeds! So, without "spirit"
or common sense, the people were led by their blind guides of the letters and
Jesus, the anointed High Priest (Christ) of God appeared to introduce to us the
living God of Spirit through the Living Gospel, which is received only by those
who are predestined by God e.g. the born-blind man of John 9, whose eyes Jesus
opened with spittal. Jesus preached
Gospel like a Sower and only those who were twice-born and, therefore, had ears
to hear 'His Word', understood and followed Him of their own accords.
Now, Jesus hired twelve
labourers called the twelve close-circle disciples. They were twelve because they had to teach the rectified moral
laws of Moses in honour of John, the Baptist, an ideal Levi priest of Moses. Moses' moral laws are concerned with seven
types of works that are represented by the seven candles of Menorah. The remaining five are related to the five
temptations of heart that are lust for sex or morality, anger, greed, worldly
temptations and haughtiness, which were also the five husbands of the Samaritan
woman at the well (John 4) that she had overpowered i.e. they were living with
her but dominating or husbanding her no more.
The character or nature of
these five is also stated in Luk.12.52: "For from henceforth there shall
be five in one house (body) divided, three against two, and two against
three". The first
"three" are related to the once-born simpletons of "flesh",
which are:- (1). "Ego" of 'seed', of 'physical skill or prowess' such
as wrestling, football, etc., which makes a person big-headed, (2).
"Anger", through which the simpletons resent when they cannot
understand the matters of spirit and (3).
“Haughtiness” of the knowledge of the 'letters' as the Pharisees had of
the written Torah and the university theologians of to-day have of the New
Testament letters as well. The second
"two" are related to the twice-born clever people, who are dominated
by "evil mind" or "evil spirit" such as of the type of Judas
Iscariot and they are:- (4). 'Greed' and (5). 'Worldly temptations' -
Matt.4.8-10. In the house (body), which
is dominated by the "wisdom" of Christ Jesus, the Gospel, all the
above five are not only under control but they are also at "Peace"
making the person a "Royal King".
Thus, the close-circle
disciples of Jesus were to "teach" the rectified moral laws of Moses
in honour of John, the Baptist and to "Preach" the Gospel in honour
of Jesus. Further, the twelve had
nothing to do with the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve secular thrones -
Matt.19.28. As the Moses' priests could
not be women but men only, so the twelve were all men and it were the disciples
who were baptising people in water on behalf of John but not of Jesus as He was
not a "teacher" but a "Preacher".
The twelve labourers hired
by Jesus were paid their wages, the "Holy Spirit", on Pentecost -
Matt.20.8: "So when even was come, the Lord (God) of the vineyard (world)
saith unto His Steward (Jesus), call the labourers and give them their
"Hire", beginning from the last unto the first". The labourers of Jesus had forsaken worldly
treasures for the sake of their Wage, the "Holy Spirit" - Matt.19.27:
"Then answered Peter and said unto Him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and
followed Thee; what shall we have therefore".
Thus, the disciples of Jesus
who first founded the Church of God headed by Jesus sold all their belongings
to share a perfect communal life but the limitations of human "flesh"
led them to some grumbling over such matters as to the distribution of food. This problem was resolved by the Apostles in
Acts 6.1-4:".....Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men (and
not a single "woman" because these seven were in the name of John,
the Baptist) of honest report, full of the Holy ghost and wisdom, whom we may
appoint over this business. But we will
give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the
Word". So, among themselves the
seven deacons elected a Bishop or a supervisor and the deacons were encouraged
to teach the moral laws of Moses to people but they were not permitted to
preach 'His Word' as the Preachers could not be the resident members of the
congregation but the roving Saints who went from Church to Church ironing out
the spiritual problems of the congregations and Their praises rested not with
people but with God Who Ordained Them into His Service. The Preacher possessed the “Double-edged”
Sword of “His Word”; one edge clearing their own misconceptions and the other
edge clearing those of the Congregations.
The other reason, that is
based upon the general principle; what applies to "flesh", the
opposite applies to "spirit", is that the moral teachers (Matt.13.52)
are hereditary and resident of male sex only, the Preachers of Gospel are to be
non-hereditary and non-resident persons of either sex i.e. a woman cannot teach
the moral laws but she can Preach 'His Word', the Gospel. Further, the teachers of moral laws have to
be authoritarian in the manner of John, the Baptist, who publicly denounced the
marriage of Philip's wife with Herod - Matt.14.3; whereas the Preachers of
Jesus or the Saints of God have to be humble and loving servants - the two
qualities are not easy to mix and the exception was Peter, who possessed the
Keys to the kingdom of heaven as well.
Above all, if a preacher of
Gospel becomes a resident member of the congregation, he may seek the praises
of people rather than those of God as it is prevalent to-day in the churches,
where the hired dog-collared clerics of Mammon happily bless the soldiers of
Mammon who died fighting for their kings and countries and further pronounced
as to have glorified God, our merciful and loving Father. Thus, what will Jesus think of St.Paul's
cathedral in London that is full of the heroes of Mammon? - Matt.7.21.
So, the corruptions and
malpractices of bishops in the early churches were the main reasons for banning
the Preachers from such churches and the Preachers resorted to the opening of
monasteries in order to carry on with their work of Preaching the Gospel to the
seekers of 'His Word'. Without the
Preachers or the Spirit of God, the bishops started to concentrate upon the
studies of the "letters" of the New Testament and their presbyteries
produced "men of letters", who were worse off than those of the
Moses. And the present universities are
the legacy of those presbyteries and their theologians are "super
donkeys".
The Preachers of Jesus
called the bishops "waterless canals" for their immorality and for
their dreams of secular kingdom of Jesus that those blind bishops led their
congregations into pit i.e. persecution.
Further, the corrupt bishops formulated 'creeds' to put their blind
members of congregation into the straitjackets of slavery that was worse than
that of the corrupt priests of Moses from which Jesus liberated us. The present churches are the legacy of the
old corrupt churches and the recent example of enforcing rules and regulations
formulated by the Free Presbyterian Church on Lord Mackay was an act of
enslaving in which the word "Free" carried no "Freedom"
with it. How would such a church react
if Jesus happened to attend a synagogue!!!
Now, the letters of Moses
caused little Darkness, but the letters of the New Testament have caused a much
greater Darkness. Thus, God stands for
love and service whereas the bishops of Mammon not only blessed the war ships
but they also encouraged the soldiers of Mammon to kill and rule over
others. The booties of wars, and not
the hard-earned wealth, helped the corrupt bishops to build their beautiful
churches that attracted full houses of their blind Christians. The same booties also helped the people to
build up their industries and the resultant fruit of Mammon, the armaments, are
being exported to the poor of the world who kill each other i.e. arms are sold
by the right hand and alms are given by the left. But in Jesus, those who take to the sword will die of the
sword. Thus, the sophisticated weapons
that the West, America and Russia are producing they are doing so for their own
destruction on Third Judgement Day expected in the year 2007.
Therefore, establish
universal Churches of God in honour of Saints and let the outspoken Preachers
of God help you to wash the filth of sins and blasphemies. The Preachers of God being predestined, they
do not stand in the need of any ordination by men and it is only the deacons
who require the ordination of men to whom they are to serve and to be
responsible for their performances.
The present Dark Age is a
Golden Age for the people of "spirit" and those who establish their
covenant with Jesus in "spirit" shall not be born again i.e. in Adam
(once-born) we die but in Jesus (twice-born) we are made alive. Also, after the advent of Gospel, you cannot
blame anyone for misleading you as you yourself shall have to give your own
account to God - Rom.14.12.
For the sake of your gnosis,
Christ Nanak has also defined this Dark Age as a time of "Holy
Spirit" in which you walk on the footsteps of anointed Christs by making
Gospel as your Teacher and common sense, “holy spirit” as the student.
