CREDO

IT IS MY BELIEF……………..

………that the historical figure Jesus the Christ came NOT to just save us from SIN by paying the FINAL penalty for SIN on he Cross of Calvary…. (which thank God He did)….. BUT that He also attempted to teach mankind that God is NOT "external" to His Creation but dwells and works THROUGH His Creation, something that ALL religions fail to do including Christianity? (After all...Jesus said "we are the Temple of the Holy Spirit which is GOD" People have told me New Age does teach an INTERNAL God but I fail to see it because they ignore the reality of SIN.

I taught Biology 33 years and having this Science background I tend to be a REALIST because I also believe Jesus was a REALIST. If He wasn't..... why would He tell His Disciples that He had to go and prepare a place for them and say "in MY Father's House there are many rooms? (dimensions?…Quantum Physics) If He wasn't...... why, after Jesus was asked if He would restore the KINGDOM at this time and He responded that it was not for them to know the time or dates and that they must be His witnesses to Jerusalem, Sumaria, Judea and "to the ends of the Earth" THEN "be taken up into a CLOUD and hidden from their sight" (condensation?) and have 2 Angelic Beings show up and ask the Disciples..."Men of Galilee. why do you stand here looking up into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.” (Acts 1:6-11)

I don't know about you ....but that kind of writing sure seems REAL to me!

CREDO

(1) I believe Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ben Joseph) revealed in the “flesh” Who God is. (Eternal, INTERNAL Presence…. Emmanuel……”God with us”)

(2) I believe Jesus "Once for All DIED for All" (AND REALLY rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven and WILL RETURN the same way He left as in Acts 1 above......If He didn't really rise from the dead PHYSICALLY (albeit "Transfigured"… which according to Quantum Mechanics and String Theory means “a frequency shift in nature…mortal becomes immortal.”.)....what's up with this "Doubting Thomas" sticking his fingers into the Wounds of Crucification? )

(3) I believe Jesus "freed us from ALL religions" and exposes the "supernatural" for what it is.....an illusion that prevents us from seeing the TRUTH Jesus taught right along with the insidious illusion of REINCARNATION." (The Amazing Kreskin was right..."The Supernatural is the Undiscovered Natural")

(4) I believe Jesus reveals that we are Brothers and Sisters of a Cosmic Family as He revealed when He said "He has many flocks." The Bible reveals in Genesis that due to the Law of Free Will....1/3 of the Kingdom rebelled against God and chose to be "gods" in stead of worshiping the TRUE GOD that 2/3rds remained Faithful to.

(5) I believe the source of ALL evil is this 1/3rd rebellion and that they are the "gods" of this

present sinful world order as revealed in by St. Paul in his letter to the Church at Ephesus.

(Ephesians 6:12 “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but

against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of

this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the

heavenly realms.”

(6) I believe Jesus will REALLY return PHYSICALLY (and Transfigured as in Acts 1.) as King

of Kings and Lord of Lords (and soon I suspect since the "Fig Tree Prophecy" was fulfilled

on May 14, 1948) and will Reign (with His Saints) from His ancestor King David's Throne

in Jerusalem, Israel. (not Mecca, Medina, Rome, Salt Lake City , Independence, Mo or

Clearwater, Fla.) THIS is fulfillment of His PRAYER......."Thy Will Be Done on Earth as it

is In Heaven."

ALL Religions and especially New Age teach that man achieves this "Earthly Kingdom of Peace" by Spiritual Enlightenment and peaceful co-operation between different religions and cultures. (The exception is the religion of Islam that demands violent elimination or conversion of ALL infidels that will bring peace......this is pure EVIL.) This "enlightenment" belief system is un-Biblical and frankly blasphemes Jesus Himself in John 14:6...."I AM the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE....NO ONE (noboby, zilch, nada) comes to the Father EXCEPT THROUGH ME!" That sure is real enough for me!!!

Thanks for at least reading my ramblings!

Take care and God Bless...David Brown……a “Doubting Thomas”….. Oswego, NY
