"Look here, it's the lamb of God who takes upon himself the wrongdoing of the world." - John 1:29
"You see, God loved the world so much He Gave His only son, so that everyone who believes
in him would not be lost, but instead have everlasting life." - John 3:16
If we believe God's only son was sent to take our sins upon himself so we could have
everlasting life with God, then every gospels is too long!
All teachings and doings of Jesus could be excluded, they are uneccessary to reach everlasting
life.
Every gospel does not need to be longer than 12 verses forming a single chapter. But they are
longer!
Are they not longer, because Jesus needed to teach the people how to live with God so
they could bring forth the Kingdom of God in their own life?
"The speculative dogma of vicarious atonement, which has based Christian thought
for centuries can not be charged to the author of the Sermon on the Mount, or the Parable of the
Prodigal Son.
"The leaders of Christian thought have diverted the followers of Jesus and his teaching
from the practical application and study of God power. They have taught them to look upon his
teaching as the experiences of the Apostles after his time, instead of teaching them the law
which those teachings were based was an exact science which could be understood and
experienced in the lives of all.
"The Orientals have made the scientific phase of their religion to the supreme object of
their study and attainment. In this they have gone on the the other extreme. In this way both has
consigned their religion to the realm of miracules and supernatural. The one has become absorbed
in the wholly ethical, while the other has become absorbed in the scientific side only. Thus both has
shut out true spirituality.
"The monastic life of retirement, asceticism and seclusion from the world, wherether in
Buddhistic or Christian monasteries, is neither a neccessity nor is it the true method of attaining
spiritual enlightenment nor the realization of the perfect life of wisdom and power brought forth by
Jesus.
"These monastic systems have been in existence for many thousands of years, yet they
have in no wise accomplished as much for the uplift of the common people as did the teaching of
Jesus in the few short years of his time here on earth.

Christians get tears in their eyes, when they think of Jesus as the lamb. -That he died for
them. But the will get tears of joy in their eyes when they understand what Jesus teaching really
means for people. They could bring forth the Kingdom of God from within, in their own lives with the
right understanding and practice of the teaching of Jesus.
"Right here comes the suggestion that has lead to the idolatry of the past. Men sought
to grave in wood or stone, gold, silver or brass the image of that they idealizad, but any idol can only
imperfectly picture the ideal. The image, the idol, is no sooner formed than men become conscious
that the ideal surpasses the idol, and they are shown that they must gaze upon love, and idealize for
themselves that they wish to bring forth from the within, instead of graving any idol in outer form of the
ideal they would express. A later form of idolatry is to idealize the personality of the one who
expresses our ideal. We should idealize the ideal which he expresses and not the personality which
expresses it. This is true even of one so great person as Jesus. Thus Jesus chose to go away, when
He saw that the people were idealing His personality instead of the ideal He represented. They sought
to make Him their King...

In statechristianity Jesus is Idolworshipped, in some countries Mother Mary is
Idolworshipped and in some countries Saints are also Idolworshipped.
Free Christianity, like the Pentecoastal Movement also have Idolworshipping of Jesus as the
Saviour and the Lamb. But Idolworshipping of Mother Mary and Saints are abscent, however a recent
kind of "Idolworshipping" is the look upon historical Christians (John Calvin,..) and the "worship" of
modern Christian leaders (Ulf Ekman, The Pope..)
The last type of "worship" comes to being when Christians looks upon their own failures and
begin to think -"God doesn't answer my prayer- but Ulf Ekman's prayers is answered" or
"Ulf Ekman is such a caresmatic person, he must be sent by God, let him be my Shepherd."
"If you look back to your ancestors, you will, before you realize it, be worshipping them; for
with your creative ability, you will have brought forth that which you have gazed upon. You will be
living by their standards of your own. You will begin to look like your ancestors, but you will not
accomplished what they have accomplished. You will begin to drop back; for if you live by another's
ideal, you can not accomplish that which the one who conceived the ideal accomplished. You must
either go on or return. There are no half-way measures. This ancestor worship is one of the direct
causes of nations' (Church, Assamble, Organization) degenerating."

The "Worship" of Christian Leaders is an effect of Christian wrongthinking or rather - lack
of thinking.
When the Masters made a bread miracle for Spalding's research team one of the members
said this: "We came here, as we supposed, to find the remains of a people, long since dead and gone.
Instead, we find a people living a far more wonderful and active life than can be comprehended.
If this thing that we have seen could be herald abroad, you would have the whole world bowing at
your feet." The three ladies said they did not wish the world to bow at their feet, but they longed to
see all mankind bowing at God's feet. They went on to say that mankind already had too many idols.
The ideal was the thing really needed.

"It is in this way the Christ was born. Mary, the Great Mother, perceived the ideal; the ideal was
held in mind, then conceived in the soil of her soul, held for a time there, then brought forth or born as
the perfect Christ Child, the First Born, the Only Begotten, the Son of God. He was nourished and
protected; given the very best of the mother; watched over and cherished until He grew from childhood
into manhood. It is thus the Christ comes to all of us; first as an ideal planted in the soil of our soul - the
central part where God is - held in mind as the perfect ideal, then brought forth or born as the
perfect Child, the Christ Consciousness.
- Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East
volume 1, page 23-24
"God is holding the ideal perfect world in mind in every detail and it is bound to come forth as a heaven
or perfect home where all His children, all His creatures, and all His creations may dwell in peace
and harmony. This is the perfect world that God saw in the beginning and the one He is thinking into
existence right now, and the time of its manifestation lies in our acceptance of it. When we can come
to the one place and know that we are all one, one man, and know that we are all members of God’s
body as much as one member of our body is a part of the whole body, then we are in, and of, God’s
kingdom, heaven here on earth, now.
"To make this manifest, realize that there is nothing material in heaven. All is spiritual. Realize
that heaven is a perfect state of consciousness, a perfect world here on earth now, and all we need to
do is to accept it. It is here all about us, waiting for us to open the inner eye. Through that eye our
bodies shall be made light, the light which is neither of the sun nor moon but of the Father; and the
Father is right here in the very innermost part of our being. We must sufficiently realize that there is
nothing material, that all is spiritual. Then we must think of that wonderful God-given spiritual world
which is right here now if we can realize it.

"All the different isms, cults, and creeds, all the different angles of all beliefs, are all good for they
will eventually lead their followers to the realization that underneath all there is a deep factor of actuality
that has been missed, a deep something that has not been contacted or they have failed to contact that
which rightly belongs to them, which they can and should rightfufly possess. We see it is this very thing
that will eventually drive man to possess all. The very fact that man knows there is something to possess,
which can be possessed and which he has not, will goad him on until he has it. It is in this way every
step in advance is made in all things.
The idea is first pressed out from God’s into man’s consciousness and he sees there is something ahead
if he will but go on. Here man usually blunders and fails to recognize the source from which the idea came;
but thinks that it came wholly from within himself. He gets away from God and, instead of letting God
express through him the perfection God sees for him, he goes on and expresses in his own way and
brings forth imperfectly the thing which should be perfectly wrought or manifest.
"If he should but realize that every idea is a direct, perfect expression from God and, as soon as this idea
comes to him, he would immediately make it his ideal to be expressed from God, then take his mortal
hands off and let God express through him the perfect way, this ideal would come forth perfect.
Here we must realize that God is above the mortal and the mortal cannot help in any way. In this way
man would learn in a short time to express perfection. The one great thing man must learn is to get
forever through and out of the psychic or mind forces and express directly from God, for all psychic
forces are created wholly by man and they are likely to mislead."

"Every child born is good and perfect. There are no bad children. It does not
matter whether they are conceived in the perfect or immaculate or through the sense or material way.
The one conceived in the perfect way will soon recognize his Sonship with the Father, that he is the
Christ or Son of God; then he will develop and unfold quickly and he will see only perfection. The
one conceived through the sense way may also immediately recognize his Sonship, perceive that the
Christ is in him, and may realize his perfection by idealizing the Christ. He gazes upon that ideal, loves
and cherishes it until he manifests or brings forth that which he gazes upon, the Christ. He is re-born
and is perfect. He has brought forth perfection from within himself, that perfection which was always
there. The one held to the ideal and was perfect; the other perceived the ideal and unfolded that ideal,
and regained perfection. Thus no child is bad; all are good and from God."

"God’s love is like a pure spring that gushes from a mountain. At its source it is pure but as it flows on its
course it becomes clouded and polluted until it enters the ocean so impure it does not even resemble
that which emerged from the source. As it enters the ocean it begins to drop the mud and slime to the
bottom and again rises to the surface as a part of the glad, free ocean, from which it again can be taken
up to refresh the spring.
"You can see and talk with God at any time, just as you can with father, mother, brother, or friend.
Indeed, He is far closer than any mortal can be. God is far dearer and truer than any friend. God is never
wrought up, nor angry, nor cast down. God never destroys, nor hurts, nor hinders one of His children
or creatures or creations. If God did these things, He would not be God. The god that judges, destroys, or
withholds any good thing from his children or creatures or creations is but a god that is conjured up by
man’s ignorant thinking; and you need not fear that god unless you wish to do so. For the true God
stretches forth His hand and says, 'All that I have is yours.' When one of your poets said that God is closer
than breathing and nearer than hands or feet, he was inspired by God. All are inspired by God when
that inspiration is for the good or the right and all can be inspired by God at all times if they only will.
"When I said, ‘I am the Christ, the only begotten of God’, I did not declare this for myself
alone, for had I done this I could not have become the Christ. I say definitely that, in order to bring forth the Christ,
I, as well as all others, must declare it; then must live the life, and the Christ must appear. You may declare
the Christ all you will and, if you do not live the life, the Christ will never appear. Just think, dear friends,
if all would decleare the Christ then live the life for one years or five years, what an awakening there
would be. The possibibilities cannot be imagined. That was the vision that I saw.
