Points to Remember, II
It is a good thing to have the other spiritual works available to us, but we must be careful because Satan also caused certain corruptions to be written as we wrote earlier. This thing was done to cause confusion over the events which took place in those days, and an attempt was made to pervert the doctrines of the apostles. I thank God because He has provided us with the Holy Ghost who has taught us the truth and pointed out scripturally the plain truth from errors due to limitations Satan caused by excluding certain portions of the Word.
Now there are two kinds of heavens and two kinds of earths down here to show you God's magnificent power of division, Testament of Asher 1:3-5, Deuteronomy 30:15 (Doctrine of opposite pairs, page 545). As for men of flesh and blood there are two kinds of heavens and earths: (a) the natural heavens with its constellations and this earth upon which we walk, (b) the heavenly abode of God and the foundations equivalent to earth, Revelation 21:1,11-14. For the invisible men of sin (demons): (a) men of flesh constitute a touchable heaven as the parabolic constellations through which demons are able to live in pleasure, Enoch 43, Revelation 13:11,15. Men's bodies also constitute the only earth demons can dwell on or in, Genesis 3:14, 13:16; Mark 16:18, (b) there is also the natural heaven and earth which appears "as a dream in the night" through which demons fall. Into the heavens of heavens, our Home, demons cannot go nor see. Now look at (a) for the demons and compare it with Revelation 6:14, Enoch 90:28,29, 45:4-6, Luke 20:35-36. We are the heaven and earth that "abideth forever", Ecclesiastes 1:4. Jehovah's Witnesses need this key of understanding for better doctrine, and then they will see cohesion with II Peter 3:10-13, (Jeremiah 4:22-28; in particular verse 25 with III Baruch chapter 10).
I. Kerygmata Petrou. On page 117, (4) we have an account of "Babylon", Revelation chapter 17. If you recall "Origin of Warfare: Cause and Continuation", you can understand the section on Cain in the "Kerygmata". However, you should read with your eyes in your head and see, Revelation 18:24. Now you know which shegoat is "scapegoat" for all murders and bloodshed. These are called "Harpies" in Roman mythology, Ezekiel 28:13.
A. On page 118 (5) HIII 41. This statement is not true, Exodus 24:3-4; Deuteronomy 31:9-13, page 111; 2:2.
B. HII 38 (page 119). This is contradictory to Exodus 24 and Numbers 11:16-17,24-29. This writing so far appears to be one of the false pericopes. How can Satan do good with evil, Matthew 12:33-35.
C. HIII 48. This portion does not conflict, but look at the last statement on page 119. The false portions are demons who spoke through Sadducees and Pharisees also, John 8:43-44. Much error came in understanding because men and demons could not tell a "living parable" when they saw one, nor could they understand a worded parable, Matthew 13:10-17; Mark 4:13; John 16:12-25.
D. HII 43. The authority of everything is God, Proverbs 21:30, and we are one with Him, John 17:21-23.
E. HII 16: 17. Reading this with the additions in parenthesis would lead us to a false conclusion that Peter is attempting to vaunt himself or puff himself up over Paul. But Paul should not be mentioned here, Acts 8:9-24. Note also page 546, lines 8-12 and chapter 22. Here is a classical example of erroneous additives by one of the redactors or editors, a thing which is criticized in the introduction to many of the works.
F. HXVII:16. God dealt with Peter according to his understanding. Therefore in the writings of these apostles you should now be able to tell when the writer is expressing his opinion and when the Holy Ghost is speaking through him. At that time Peter did not know that all men were God's sons and were saved although Christ had said it before, John 6:31,44, 12:32. God may appear with the face of any man in a vision because all men are created in the image of God. Without a doubt demons give false visions, but we must do this: Isaiah 8:20, 28:10; Jeremiah 14:14; I John 4:1. Here is the reason why many men who "appear" wicked have been spoken to by God, Numbers 24:3-5, Ode 8:4-22, 8:18, Psalm 94:14; Joel 2:28-29. If you cannot see that God is without respect of persons and loves His possessed child also, you will not understand the word of God because of blinding prejudice. Please remember that Peter and those with him were called for a special purpose and became the Midst or middle as we learned from an earlier letter. Do not stumble over what they did not understand in their day. This is "time released," I Timothy 3:16; Revelation 10:7.
G. HXI, 25. Here Peter expounds on his personal commandment to baptize. We have written to you God's perfect will on this subject in our times. I do not stress the "baptism of man" with natural water, but the Holy Spirits only can wash the heart with the "baptism from heaven", Matthew 19:11; Luke 20:4; John 3:21; I Corinthians 1:12-17; Ephesians 4:1. I say the apostles were also prophets who had to act out the baptism of heaven by the angels. This section is pure preaching! If you exclude the first two sections of the "Kerygmata Petrou", HIII 47 and HII 38, you would have a more perfect work.
II. Pseudo Epistle of Titus. This letter is false for reasons other than those given by the redactors. To prove this, let us sample the last paragraph on page 148. The doctrine here on the marriage and the virgin state is not that which Paul taught. This is an "accusing" style similar to the repetitive style of demons. How do I know? God has opened my ears that I may hear living proof of satanic madness. Paul's doctrine on celibacy and marriage can be found in I Corinthians chapter 7. Notice in particular verses 24-28,34-36. Titus preached the same thing as Paul did, but he was not rough like a lord over God's flock, II Corinthians 1:24; Titus 1:4-5, 2:4-5. Titus appears to be more on the mild side so that Paul wrote him to take a sterner line, Titus 1:10-14. It is no crime to marry, Matthew 19:3-12, but you must be made to understand that the apostles were prophets and many men and women were chosen to act out the first phase of the marriage to come in heaven, Zechariah 12:11-14. Gabriel showed me I must give up my spouse, "my wife and my daughter", but I only acted that separation business for a short while. It certainly will occur in heaven. We can glean Something from this epistle: end of paragraph 2, p.144, Luke 20:35-36, Secrets 30:10-12. Also in paragraph 3, "defiled with women", Enoch 60:7-10, Matthew 12:43-45. Those freed of "Babylon's" invisible daughters and all demons are parabolized as virgins because they are in an unpierced state and devoid of "spiritual fornication", Ezekiel 28:13; Daniel 2:31-35; Wisdom 14:12, II Hermas Command X:5-10. I tell you once more a demon is a counterfeit, mechanical bastard, the image of Satan. Thus a free man is also a "parabolic virgins" in this sense, as a part of the church, Ephesians 5:23.
One thought which may come to your mind concerning the crucifixion is the closeness of John to the cross. To John it was said, "Behold thy mother", John 19:26-27. In John he does not tell that Christ's followers abandoned him, but no doubt because of the wrath of the crowd and the great darkness that fell, they all made haste to retreat, Luke 23:44-49. The abandonment is according to scripture, Isaiah 63:3; Mark 15:34; John 16:32. However, in the cave, we find the Father speaking through Christ to John, Luke 23:46.
III. Acts of John 97-103 (page 232). We wrote earlier that when Christ died, only the body suffered death, James 2:26. We said the spirit goes back to God, Ecclesiastes 12:7. Proof of these truths was witnessed by John when Christ came off the cross and talked with him and gave him a vision. Errors concerning death have resulted because the Book of Enoch and also this work were not available to the general public as a part of the "Bible". John's account of oneness with the Father can only be under stood when you realize that half of each man is a piece of God's Spirit and half of Wisdom's Spirit. In that way God suffers what we suffer, yet He sits on the throne. Read lines 5-8 on page 234. He is saying that He cannot be complete until we acknowledge that we are His sons and are all gathered in heaven with Him. Now you know why He cannot lose one man of flesh and blood, Isaiah 14:12-14; Ezekiel 18:4; John 17:12; II Thessalonians 2:3-4,8-9. In Acts of , the statement about man apart from the body is the same as in III Hermas Similitude VIII:1-4. Also in Acts of , page 252, we have an account reminiscent of what God taught me in a dream. Our wives are our sisters and we must turn them over to God. In the marriage of the Lamb they will be joined with the person God chose before the foundation of the earth, Zechariah 12:10-14; Matthew 19:4,6.
IV. Acts of Peter, 4,8, last paragraph, page 290. Here Peter speaking in the Spirit of anger, put the curse and blame for sin on the head of Satan and his children as all true priests made by God must do, Leviticus 16:20-22; Hebrews 5:1-10, Enoch 68:4,5, John 17:12, Enoch 10:8,9. In a parabolic way Peter was "standing on Mount Ebal", Deuteronomy 11:29; Malachi 3:17-18; John 16:7,11. I thought this section was beautiful. Section 9 is reminiscent of Numbers 22:28-32.
V. Acts of Andrew on page 411, last paragraph in 6. Andrew is telling men they are sons of God. We are superior to demons who afflict and imprison us physically and mentally. When you understand about birth, then you will come to know Christ. Speaking of supremacy, observe the disdain God has for a demon: every man, animal, insect, and even germs have the power to eat and drink. Demons are esteemed less than a virus which is a parable about them. Viruses must have living organisms to dwell in for reproduction. Being powerless to eat, you can see how valueless a demon is to God. All creatures have a covering, be it shell, fur, skin, or clothing, except devils!
VI. Acts of Thomas page 461 # 34. This is an enactment about what we have written on death (also page 454, 22 and 23 but here also is John 14:1-4 acted). Death expels demons from the body freeing the spirit which is then in custody of Michael's brethren, the angels. We have something in section 34 which resembles the parable of Lazarus and the rich man, Luke 16:19-31. So you can see the works of the apostles, and this letter series you received are witnesses of the truths expressed. All that is needful now is for all men to get on the truthful foundation and away from doctrines of error, Isaiah 29:24; Ephesians 2:19-22. This is the first time I have read or laid eyes on these works. I rejoice now because I am living proof to you and all devils that if they should hide the truth, God is able to raise it up in triumph. Section 38, page 464, is also expressed in the fulfillment of 6, page 44.5, lines 5-7. In Section 39, page 464, Thomas is called the twin of Christ because he had to act the role of the Holy Ghost, Pravuil, Enoch 78:1,2, Genesis 38:29-30; Ruth 4:12. For that reason Thomas had to be sold as was Joseph who played the same role. Now you see a second witness to the truth that we wrote months ago, that Jesus Christ and Pravuil, the Holy Ghost are twins. The role of the ass is expressed in Genesis 49:10-12; John 19:35. The ass suffered death lest Satan should tempt the people to worship it, II Kings 18:4. Section 43, page 466 is a restatement of what we wrote concerning "wet dreams" which ignorant people today consider enjoyable and normal, Ezekiel 38:14-19; Zechariah 14:1-3. This woman was permitted to see such a vision for the glory and truth of God.
Sections 54-57 beginning at the bottom of page 472 is an account which faintly resembles Enoch 18:12-16 and chapter . It simulates the likeness of torments men receive in this life only! III Hermas Similitude VI:17-22, Ecclesiastes 12:7. Spirits of men in death are taken by the angels for instruction, and they go to the second heaven, Enoch 22. These portions are added, however. Notice Thomas' words, "The apparent death is not death", (meaning eternal death) "but deliverance and release from the body", section 160, page 521, lines 18,19, Ecclesiastes 4:23, 12:7; James 2:26. If we look at the texts in Enoch and III Hermas only, the punishments that men experience in this life are tragic. Demons wreck our bodies in car accidents, fires, explosions, industrial accidents, shootings, knifings, wars, etc. We can add to that broken bones and bodies which may require surgical correction. We must add tortures to war prisoners and captives. Cancers, tumors, heart disease, etc. are also a result of their chicanery. Demons have power also to produce heat and help bacterial infections which would normally be warded off by our bodies. This is not fantastic: we just need to think a little, Job 2:7 (boils are caused by bacteria and medically called a furuncle), Luke 9:31-42, 13:11,16-17 (this is epileptic seizures). This was told long ago, Enoch 15:12.
VII. Apocalypse of Peter. Notice in chapter 3, p. 669. that all men were seen in the palms of God's hands, Psalm 45:6; John 17:24; Revelation 1:16,20. All men are a part of the Church as sons of Mother Jerusalem, II . In chapter 4, Christ tells us pointblank that all men of flesh and blood partake of the first resurrection, lines 1 -9. We remind you also that Christ said, "Those who are with me have not understood me," Volume I, p. 175, lines 13,14. Chapters 6-12 must be rejected as spurious additions inconsistent with truth, Luke 4:18-21, 9:54-56; I John 5:7-9. Chapter page 679 is a restatement of Enoch 63. The last line of chapter , "suddenly the world shall be carried off", refers to the world of Mesh and blood men, I Thessalonians 4:16-17, Enoch 10:21,22.
VIII. The Apocalypse of Paul is a lie. On p. 760,3, "mankind alone sins" is an obvious lie because the demons excluded themselves. Enoch 10:9, "New American Bible", Genesis 4:5-7; Romans 5:18-21, 6:13-15, 7:18-23. Also, angels of God do not dwell in men like demons do, Barnabas XIII:22. Page J63, # 11 is an error because the spirits of men who die are taken to the second heaven, Enoch 22. Demons were thrown off by this word, Luke 23:42-43. # 12, page 764 lies because men are not troubled when they meet God, Luke 15:15,20-24. In chapter 14 the meeting with demons as the soul goes to heaven is impossible because demons do not see this, Ezekiel 18:4; Luke 17:20-22; James 2:26. Chapters 15-18 is a lie especially the condemnation scene, John 5:22, 8:15, 16:7,11; I John 5:7,9. Chapter 19 speaking of men's faces being written in heaven is corrupt. It suggests we will not change, II Isaiah 61:3; Romans 8:18; I Corinthians 15:35,41-44; II Corinthians 3:18; II Baruch 51:5,6,10-13. I refuse to go further; you can do it.
IX. The Apocalypse of Thomas is also a fabrication, but if you have your "keys" and remember the numerous proofs and scriptures we have written, you can undo this also, Isaiah 7:15,22; Hebrews 5:13-14. I can assure you Satan hates having his lies broken, Colossians 2:15.
RENAISSANCE
Steal away oh naked black image
Fly while the dawn still haunts the day
Blast me not with bleak dispair
But fade while courage bars the way
Let me walk once like a man
And cast away my hollow shell
Lord, give me strength, let it sustain me
Let me stand and I'll not fail
Fear is the mist that smacks one blind
Which hanging, shadows the way
Sucking life's marrow from the man
Then--a crust of life to portray
I have known the shallows of fear,
And with it loss of peace of mind
I have known the quake of cowardice
The strife of death and life combined
Give me strength to pierce the mist
For Jesus is the true man's marrow
Break the shackles that entomb me
Loose me from the coward's sorrow
So steal away oh black vile demon
Fly while dawn hails in the' day
I'll emerge from the dust a son
And a son of God I'll always stay
GOD AND TIME
Time moves on an untraceable trail
Unseen, not felt, not heard
It is the Spirit which moves always forward
The Holy Ghost which says not a word
God is the motivating force of the universe
He turns the Wheel of Life
It moves in cycles unknown to man
He is the breeder of friendship, not strife
God rules the limitless unending days
And age is the Heart of Time
God is Master of consequence and fate
He is the hell of fortune's chime
Why should one of so little consequence as I
Seek to hurry my master so prime
When I am just His little son
Because God takes His own time!
Glorify God!
