Foreordination (Before 1805)Organized Religion and Its Leaders vs. The True Message
What was the message that the biblical “prophets” (or, more accurately, “true
messengers”) and Christ were chosen to give to the world? According to the published
accounts available, their message challenged, rather than supported, the religious
organizations and doctrines of their respective times. Their words condemned all religious
practices and those leaders who claimed the authority to tell the people what they should do
to please God.^10
Contrary to religions that divide people and prejudice susceptible minds against
anyone who doesn’t accept their faith, a true messenger’s message promises to unify and
enlighten the people. The message teaches us to value each other equally and gives us the
guidelines of how to live with one another in peace and harmony.^11
So that the people might be more amenable and open to their message, ancient
biblical prophets were commanded to utilize familiar and accepted orthodox belief systems
as a segue to communicating real truth.^12 Working within these faith-based ideologies, they
attempted to turn the people inward, away from the outward sway of charismatic and
deceiving men.^13 These prophets knew that the only source of information the people were
receiving was from their religious leaders—a source which prostrated their minds and
hearts outside of their own innate ability to think and use common sense. (In a religious
context this ability is also known as the “power of the Holy Ghost” or the “influence of the
Holy Spirit” or “Spirit of God”). Conversely, true messengers instructed the people to reject
popular religious leaders and turn to God for understanding—a message that collided with
the beliefs, religious practices, and customs, which, in many cases, overwhelmingly
controlled the people.
To counter their message of real truth, the religious leaders (“false prophets”)
convinced the people that there was a God who watched over them and saw all of their
actions and who gave certain men of “proper authority” information for the people’s
benefit. However, these false prophets taught that this information would only come
through them (the chosen leaders), whom the people conveniently supported with honor
and material sustenance. The true prophets, however, knew that if they could direct the
people towards God (inward) and away from their churches, faiths, ministers, prophets,
and leaders, then the people would begin to acquire knowledge the proper way—from
within, by using their own common sense.^14 This is the irony of the calling of true
messengers: They instruct people to listen to them (the true messenger) so that they can
teach the people to not listen to or to trust in anyone outside of themselves.^15
Reaching the Hearts of the Religious-minded
The message of a true messenger is one of universal human equality. He
encourages all humans to listen to their own subconscious feelings—the inner voice,
which is simply one’s common sense that brings peace and happiness. For this reason, no
true messenger, who was allowed to disclose his true identity, has (or would ever) set up a
church, or established a religion among the people, unless mandated to do so. They would
be mandated to do so in order to teach the people what happens when religious
beliefs—which are all based on esoteric mysteries associated with mortality—are
established among free-willed humans. It will be further revealed throughout this
