THE "church"Volumes and volumes have been written on this subject: Therefore we will but briefly touch upon it. In turning away from the Teachings of Jesus to the pomp and pageantry of the churches, the people have closed the door to great Spiritual Revelations, and have become the blind being led by the blind. Read, and Understand, Matthew 24:5, "For Many shall come in my name.., and shall Deceive MANY". The people should re-think the words of the Elohim, as received through revelation by the Prophet Hosea, reading Hosea 4:6 "My people are destroyed for lack of Knowledge: because thou has rejected Knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest unto me". And likewise reading in Hosea 4:14, "The people that do not Understand shall fall". Know that as "Christianity" became a popular source of external "authority", the Christian zealots began physically to destroy all competing idols. Then they built their own idols and symbols to reinforce the external authority of Christianity. Of course, now they don't have idols - but icons. While Jesus sought to convert the world from Darkness to the Light, the rich leaders sought to convert the "church" for their own purposes - thereby plunging humanity into what became known as the "Dark Ages". The Christian religion began to exploit the people through illusion, for power and money, by making each person seem like the benefactor of all their efforts. Next they attacked the values of those outside their group, to make those within the church seem righteous. They loaded their followers with heavy burdens and struck the "fear" of Hell into their hearts. They preyed on the rational thinking of the men and women, portraying the "church" as Life itself. They provided a cheap, inexpensive, weekly psychological fix for the masses - while telling them that they were moral and going to Heaven because they attended "their" church. However, if you are a thinker and start asking questions and casting doubt, they will ask you if you really want to belong. They will tell you that maybe "their" church just isn't for you, or that you seem to be confused, and need spiritual attention by the church elders. Or they will intimidate you and say, "If that is the way you feel, maybe you shouldn't come back. "They make you feel like you are nuts, lost, crazy, and certainly not wanted with your "attitude problem "You're very cynical", they say. But then maybe we should be looking on the bright side of that tarnished coin; they used to murder people for speaking out against their doctrines and dogmas . . . and know now that some still do: Their reasoning - "It is better that one man should die for the people, than the whole church should perish. " Woe unto you Scribes, Pharisees, and Sudducees of today! Yes, the Roman Catholic Church is given credit as to being founded by Leo the Great, or in hindsight, maybe we should say, "Not so great"? He maintained marriage, private property, WAR, and oaths. He forbade marriage to the clergy and monastic orders. He commanded the people to abstain from flesh-meats on certain days and occasions; not because "Thou shalt not kill", but so that he and his would have more for themselves. He ordered the persecution to death of heretics; and established the Inquisition. Go read about the Inquisition if you want to get a good insight into the "god" this church worships. Certainly not a God of Love. And above all, let us remember this: that they said their "god" spoke to their religious leaders and told them to do these hideous things. Yes, the church, the "false" church which sprang up out of Christianity, was the Universal Church: the Church of Rome. (look up the definition of Universal in your dictionary). They said that those who disagreed were heretics - antichrists - and must be slain. Anyone who did not follow the decree of the church had the spirit of the devil in them and must be purged by death. Of course the uneducated, lowly, uninformed, ignorant serfs followed blindly; after all, they didn't want to be the next victim of this Beast. Know now that it was a council that established this "church", not Jesus or Peter. Jesus said, "Call no man on earth your Father. "Now, which denomination calls their priests "Father"? The early church devised their doctrines in great councils during the period between the third and sixth centuries, settling many "doctrinal" disputes that had arisen over the years. They condemned many Teachings that did not fit into their "new" church. The Bishops of Emperor Constantine (about 325 AD), wrote many of their own creeds. This document is called the "Creed of Nicea", and has guided the churches ever since. Here are a few other councils you might want to investigate: Council of Nicea - a solemn declaration was made as to Jesus' deity (325 AD). The Council of Constantinople - a solemn declaration was made to the declaration of the Council of Nicea, and the end of Irrainism (381 AD). The Council of Epheses - a solemn declaration was made as to the humanity of Jesus (431 AD). And the Council of Chalcedon - a solemn declaration was made that Jesus was fully human and divine. The church recognizes a God and Jesus, but then they turn around and tell you that Jesus is God. Then why do they pray to both? Why do they not know God's name? Wouldn't God's name be Jesus? Why is God called the God of the Most High? Satan is called the "god" of this world. Is there more than one God? Two Gods? Three Gods? Certainly if they say they are praying to the Trinity would not the Trinity be ONE containing three? Why do they treat the Trinity as Three contained in one? We in the Western World, as the church tries to proselyte itself the world over, are led to believe that from Genesis to Revelation - this is the word of God: the only word of God - there are no other words. Sure there are other inspired works of God; but only the Italian Bible is "church" acceptable - because It has been Canonized by the Roman Catholic Church, meaning that a council of men have determined what the word of God is. Did you know that all the Popes were Italian until the latest Communist Polish Pope? Is the Vatican nervous about their wealth and powerful position because of the "false" prophecies of an End-Time War? Is there a new market opening up? Why so many visits to the communist countries, including Russia? Oh yes, of course, they are converting the atheists. We know of Russia's underground religions; but know now that Russia was the most highly religious country up until the 1920's. In addition, these churches teach that the Italian Bible is the inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of God. Which Bible is this infallible VERSION? In which language? Written by which religion? Remember the earliest manuscripts, which make up the New Testament, come from no earlier than 300 AD; with only some fragments existing from around 150 AD. Did you know that much of the Italian Bible was pieced together by Constantine and his Council? Did you know that the missing manuscripts lay hidden in the "secret" vaults of the Vatican; and that one day these Truths shall be brought forth, but not by the Vatican's church? Look to the Book of Revelation for insight into this Truth. Churches make the claim that "For 1900 years we have been around, so we must be right." If so, then for 3,000 years or more before them - the other churches were right. So who is right, and who is wrong? Both are wrong. That is why Jesus came, and later sent John the true "revelations" of the future of these churches. Why do these churches think that they are right? Or should we be asking, "Why do the people think that their church is the right one?" It was only 95 AD when John was taken up into the Light, and Jesus told John that the "churches" had fallen away from His Teachings. Know now that Jesus showed John the future of these seven churches which became the Beast, and a second Beast rose up from this First Beast. Come on people - arise from the Dead. Read the Bible from which they preach to you. Look for these things yourself. The Bible is not too deep and ambigious for you to understand. Look and - "Prove all things; WHY DO PEOPLE GO TO CHURCH?Instead of using their own physical consciousness, most people depend upon others to make their decisions for them; consequently, prepackaged religions really appeal to their laziness. Yes, people submit themselves, through illusionary tendencies, to allow religious leaders to guide their actions and thoughts by way of "fearing" God. Do people really attend the church of their choice? Do they investigate these religions as to their History, Doctrines, Rituals, etc.? Are we not led to a church by our parents, friends, relatives, superiors, our role models, neighbours, heroes, enemies, our hatred of others, our schools, communities, nations, our lack of self control, etc. . . . do not these things lead us to a church? Are not the blind leading the blind with both falling back into the ditch of Darkness? Why do people go to that church made with hands? Is it the beautiful big building? Is it the money it took to build it? Are there lots of people that go there? Are there important people from our community or neighbourhood there? Do we go there because the people dress better than at the other churches? Who do you try to sit near? Do beautiful, rich or famous people go there? Is the church close to where you live? Is it the choir, piano, pipe organ or musical program that draws you there? Do you go for the feeling? Does that feeling stay with you all week? Do you go to make yourself feel important, or just part of something? Do you go to that church because it's your church? Is there an impressive looking pastor or preacher; or is it his personality and speaking ability? Does he make you feel good shaking your hand as you leave? Is he your preacher? Do you go for the tax deductions? Do you go to show off your new car, your new hair-do, your new outfit? Do you go for fear of what others might say, or think, if you didn't go? Do you go because you have never missed a day in 30, 40, 50 or more years? Do you go for the altar calls? Is it the evangelistic emphasis or the missionary outreach? Is it on the radio or television? Did someone tell you that it doesn't matter where you go - just so long as you attend some church? Are you there because of family denominational loyality? What are your reasons? Know now that there are probably as many foolish reasons for going to church as there are religions in the world today. What do you really know about those other churches which you don't agree with, like or hate? What do you really know about those other churches and their religions? Is it only gossip from another member of your church? Is it media gossip, or propaganda? What do you really know? Is what you know, only what your pastor or church leader tells you? What do you really know? Are others not saying the same things about you, your church, and your religion? Or do you deceive yourself on these thoughts as well? . . . "I am right and they are wrong.' yes, Jesus loves me - my church tells me so". Do you go because the money you give does good? What good did it do last week? Do you always know where that money goes? Flow does your pastor earn his living? And how much of his hard earned dollars does he give? Or does his time count? What about your time? What does Jesus say? Do you realize that "churchanity" is Big Business? That the churches have financial plans and "specific" standards to increase the financial value of the church? Do you realize that churches are set up in a pyramidal structure? Of all the monies you give, what percentage do you think does how much good? (of course after paying the bills for that Big Beautiful Church and feeding the church infrastructure). Where does all that money your church collects go? Do you know that most leaves the country for Italy, England, India, etc.? Are you given a financial statement as in all other public enterprises? Why not? Are you not a member with the right to see this information? Why don't you ask to see it? Do you really believe that every man, woman and child in North America, or wherever you live, has or had the same chance as you in life? How many poor people attend your church? Is it expected of them to tithe, or bring money for the collection plate to fill the church coffers? Are they made to feel that way? How many at your church are poorly dressed? Would you let them in if they came dressed that way? Would you sit beside them? Would you talk to them? Sure you would! Would not your preacher question them at the door as to what they wanted, or why they were there? How many in your church are wearing jewelry? How blind have you become? Do you go to that church because you hope to become high up in the church? Do you go seeking popularity? Do you go there in hopes of being as great as some other religious leader or saint? Do you go in hope of becoming a preacher; so you will have a good living without having to work? So that you can live off of the other people's hard carned money? What if we stopped listening and believing others? What if we started listening to that still small voice within, and started searching for the Truth ourself? What if. . . Know now that only through your own Desire and Effort, can you learn the Truth that will set you Free. Yes, the Truth that will allow you to regain control of yourself. Know now that there is no effortless way to obtain the Truth. Every "religion" would have us believe that they are the "way" - and that all the other religions are not quite right on their approach, teachings, beliefs, etc. How many arrive at their church and then start commenting on (judging) their fellow brothers and sisters on their looks, actions, words, etc.? Pick up any book on WAR, and see just how these "good" Christians really treat their Brothers and Sisters; not to mention the innocent children. Oh yes, I know, there was no other quick solution. How many in your church, work in the social system to disrupt families, put persons in jail or to death, cover up malpractice in the hospitals, deprive you of your hard earned money by overcharging you for their services, etc.? Why do you insist on being a member of such a group of "do-gooders"? Why do you follow? Why don't you lead yourself? Why don't you open your eyes and look around? Why don't you see for yourself? Why? Why? Why?... Or should the question be - When? "When" is probably like the rest of your life: "not today, for I have too much else to do; and not tomorrow because I have to go here or there; and not next week because so and so is coming, but I will do it later Sure you will! Within the pages of this Little Book you will find the means to Free yourself from the controls and influences of religion. You will find that which you set out to find, when you joined that religion of "your choice" - but while seeking the answers to your questions, you became Lost. You will be able to identify reality through your own conscious Effort, to find the Truth for yourself, and to live in the Peace which these religions and their churches cannot give. The Secret and proof of what we say is to be found by continuously practicing the Spiritualization of Your Physical Consciousness. Of course, as in Jesus' time, "Few there be that Find the Truth", for the Truth only comes unto the Lost Sheep who are "actively" seek- ing it on their own. The blind remain blind, and are led back into the Darkness. Know now that - "The Harvest Truly
