Sharing God's New Covenant with the World Since 1975
Jim Rigney,
What's up with you man? Where did you get all of that RESENTMENT? To you, everything is "false this and false that". You see everything as "sneaky" and "twisted", and "false", and "evil". I would not want to live inside your mind, my friend. I couldn't bear it. Did you learn all of that from Father? Did he teach you to be fearful, to hate, and to judge anything that does not come out of the current book you are reading? Do you think that you are being the faithful son by being so? Or just maybe---it's not me---but YOU that is the "Prodigal Son". Do you know what the Prodigal Son is? One son stayed home and was faithful and one son went off and lived a wild life. When he came home, the Father was overjoyed----and the other son became resentful. He claimed that "he had always stayed home being a faithful son". Remember what the Father said? So you are the "faithful' son and I am the Prodigal son.The Master was more happy with the Prodigal son because he was willing to risk his life in the search for truth and experience. You somehow think that you are being the good son by following the party line, word for word---and swallowing it whole, without examination. But, you are instead, being swallowed by the whale---because you are too afraid to examine the "truth" you have been taught. But, you are like a bell that rings a hollow sound. You are no different than the Pharasees and Scribes, who really thought that they were doing a service for God by getting rid of Jesus. In all of your posts,everything is coming from your head---which is attached to your ego. But, that's not where you can experience the overpowering love of God Jim. It is the growth of heart that will lead you to God's heart. When you find it----your whole life will change---and instead of communicationg merely through the "law" (criticism and misguided judgment)---you will learn to communicate through the spirit of love.

Jim,
Let's stop for a moment, and think this "God's resentment" thing through. We are one inhabited planet among billions. God is very old---beyond time. He knows the beginning from the end. He has been through every conceivable situation. God does not make mistakes. God could have created earth with perfect human beings, if He wanted to----just like he did with the plants, sealife, and animals. It was God that made the earth a delicate ecosystem with an atmosphere that is capable of sustaining life. It's beautiful here. God is in control. He planned for man to live on the earth in a rugged setting where he could develop good character attributes through making personal decisions for his life. Even today, when the world is sometimes a terrible place---God allows good and evil people to live out their lives. When tragedy strikes, such as the Tsunami in Japan---it killed both good and evil people.
God will always win---through love. God does not use force.He does this because even evil people can change and find the love and grace of God.
Because God knows everything, he also understands in advance, what people will likely do---so---God is responsible for it all. To say that God gets angry or resentful is ridiculous. That is putting God on a human level. It would be like you building a model car, and then getting mad because the wheels didn't turn smoothly enough. Because God is a loving Father, he does take an interest in His creation. When I sent my son to boot camp, I knew it would be tough for him, but it would give him some skills in chain of command and discipline. I am concerned for him but I trust the process---and I am proud of him. To say that God lost control of His creation due to some rebellious being is false.
Beings can influence creation----slow down progress, and create suffering. But God knows all of this from his infinite experience in the creation of the gigantic universe which stretches for billions of light years across.
Because God loves us, he gave each of us our own personal guiding spirit, which lives within us. DP calls this the Spirit Man. Some call it the Soul, and some mix it all up. God is able to be in touch with each being in His creation through his spirit fragments. You have one, and I have one.
We are on a journey through a vast creation. If you need help and guidance, sit and go within to the divine spirit within you. You can also pray directly to Jesus. He is still alive and actively working within the human heart----guiding and teaching. Once you make contact with Him----your life will change forever---and you will become a man of love and service. You will practise unconditional love and unconditional forgiveness for all people, all the time, for everything. Any self-realized master will teach this very thing----and that is how you can tell if he or she is legit.
Don't be afraid to ask the hard questions because---Fear has no place in God's heart.
In Jesus day, there were many supposed learned religionists that failed to recognize who was among them because they were slaves to dogma. Jesus said, "Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me, and yet, you refuse to come to me so that you may have life".
Was Jesus just saying stuff that was appropriate for his day? Are his statements no longer valid? You are full of caution about me not following Rev. Moon. If Jesus said that "there will come many saying---did we not prophesy in your name?" "And I will say, depart from me for I do not know you".
Whe you gave up on Jesus, and replaced him with another---claiming that he failed because the people didn't support him----if you are wrong----how will you feel when you finally have to stand before him?
The only way that we can know truth about someone is whether their actions reflect their words.
This is something we should scrutinize---especially if someone is claiming to be the replacement of Christ, The Spirit of Truth, and The Holy Spirit. Because this is such an important question for our lives---it is the respnsibility of each person to ask his questions, without fear of judgment. God is not hiding, nor is He afraid to answer our concerns. That old "Satan" argument does not hold water any more.
