"The Most Important" (short essay)


“The Most Important” cji 9/15/14

The biggest problem in religion is that all of the various religions after the death of the last Apostle (and John not being seen but by a few) is the absolute loss of the literalness of the Scriptures and the additions of Greek and other philosophies by the early fathers of the 2-4th Centuries. Yet modern professors of religion continue to teach the creeds and logismoi of men/women and not of the Savior or the Prophets/Apostles. The writings are all out there for anyone to read and understand – but kept from 99% of the public in favor of what is now accepted as the truth via constant repetitions. But everyone is allowed to believe what they choose to believe – the thousands who followed the dictators past and present do – we’ve a cult of over 63M who follow BO – the MSM presents only what they are permitted – casting stones on any and all for violations – while laying a red carpet for those in our administration who violate Federal Laws with full immunity. The schools of religion are much the same – having rewritten the history of the Scriptures and most of all the teachings of the Prophets and our Savior. The acceptance of any and all who follow them is their own choice – but mostly because they’ve not done their own homework. I’ve a large library of the best books ever written – with through research going back to about 3000BC – the written works of all the Fathers of the various churches – Augustine, Origen, Tertullian, Justin Martyr, Peter, Paul, Alexander d. 385AD, and many, many more. Clement, Solon of Athens, to add a couple more to the lists – not counting the plethora of writer since their time up to the current date.

Let’s use Origen (the Father of Eastern Christianity), “…nay, that not the slightest indication of divinity was to be had among them (the Jews). For they no longer have Prophets or wonder, of which some traces may still be found among the Christians.” For Origen the possession of Prophets and wonders is what proves a divine Church. But without either Prophets or wonders – he still went on to redefine what was to be the cement until this day of the majority of Christendom using instead Greek Philosophy and Rhetoric from Plato and others to be the foundation of his church. He did away with Jesus ever having had a body – or having a resurrected body which again is in the creeds of men/women even today. Yet anyone reading the Scriptures could never come to this conclusion – but because this is what is taught they accept the teachings of men/women rather than the Prophets or the Scriptures.

All churches should claim to be the only true church or otherwise there would be no need or argument for them to be in business – yet they fail to accept continued revelation – Prophets – visions – wonders which are needful while they love the dead prophets and cannot tolerate a living one. Which and where do each of us find ourselves? Again the writings are all to be found by a little bit of research – reading – pondering – praying (and there is answer to prayers depending on one’s faith, worthiness and a need to know) to learn for ourselves the full Gospel of Jesus Christ – and have truth rather than the logismoi of men/women. Should one decide to be comfortable where they are – then they’ll get the rewards of their comfort rather than the full blessings of Gospel of Jesus Christ. One who seeks comfort – not making waves – not asking questions – not accepting answers which do not agree with the Savior or the Prophets has their own reward here on earth and will never achieve the Celestial Kingdom with their families in all their generations.

Does your church claim to be the only true church? If not – why not? For with God our Heavenly Father – there is no confusion – contention – misunderstandings – mysteries – and he and his Only Begotten teach the same message – as do all of their ordained and called Prophets – then and now. How important is this (and why do I go back to it over and over)? It is the most important aspect of our mortality – that we know who we are – why we are here – and where we might be going! If this is not important – and the worldly is found more pressing and important then why are there the Scriptures? Why were there once Prophets and Prophets living today (by the Lord’s calling and not by men/women’s definition) and most of all what was the purpose of the Atonement – if not for our potential immortality?

What each believes is up to them – and I weep when having so much to share and so few who want to hear, know or understand. Be it remembered when I was but a child of the age of 11 years old – I gained permission to read the Bible (in those days you had to have permission within the Catholic Church) – and having read it cover to cover – went to the Priest who granted me permission with one thought. “If the Bible is true and I believe it is – then you’re in real trouble.” For five (5) years we met and discussed my questions and his – until he told me if I ever found it to tell him (when I was 15 getting ready to run away once more).

Please my friends open your eyes to what is there to know – don’t take my word for it – or those who profess to be your ministers, priests, rabbis, clerics and others who profess to be of the cloth – find out on your own. The libraries are full of books just gathering dust – the Internet is full of these same books if one searches for them – but it has to be a dedicated search. If you find contention – confusion – then put those aside because they are not of God but of the adversary. If someone ridicules you – or becomes angry – put them aside. This if the purpose of this life to know Heavenly Father and the Savior and their Prophets (living and dead) so as to return to them in the flesh and bone promised by the Savior if worthy – having entered into the everlasting covenants with them.

One could start by reading the Acts of the Apostles (even the first two chapters) where they testify of Jesus Christ being the literal son of the Father. If this is true (and I testify it is) all of the creeds of men/women are in error! Find out for yourself – then decide if the world is more important to be at peace with or with your Heavenly Father and his Only Begotten – Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

I testify that the Church has been restored in its fullness in these the latter-days and is led by Prophets and Apostles as in the Primitive Church – that Ben Joseph spoken by the Jewish teachings who had to come before the Saviors return (Ben David) has lived and was the Prophet of this last dispensation. If this is strange to you – research it – it is all there. That many of the Prophecies of the Old Testament, New Testament and other Prophets known have been are being fulfilled even as I write this to you. I testify of these things and all truth in the name of Jesus Christ – amen c/ork

“The Most Important”

Eternal life with the Father
promised and covenanted
with bodies of flesh and bone
as did the Savior receive
after the Atonement shown
it is all there to be read
literal and without error
needing no interpretations
the most important reason
mortality is to pass the test
learning knowing intimately
the Father and his Son
otherwise our mortality a sham
harkening to the worldly
rather to the Father and Son!
