We cannot become followers of Christ while still
clinging to the doctrines of men and ignoring the commandments to prick up
our cross.
Our Elder Brother, following the Pattern of Jesus
Becoming the “good-ground,” consecration of the mind
and body. Stages of growth that transport the disciple beyond the
limitations of this world – the process, bringing about the Stages of Birth.
Faith, super-effort, and transformation
The Parable of the Sower and the Seed. Symbolism of
the way-side, stony-ground, and the thorns – a proper foundation for the
Word that is necessary. (Raven/Satan and Disciple – appearance of being a
heavenly creature).
The commandment of Perfection (Matthew 5:48) – excuses
made by the modern Christian and society on a whole. Those that dwell in the
“outer darkness” can never know themselves or God and can never perceive
whole truth, only fragments
To become “born again” – stages of Birth. The Plight
of Man, the Prodigal Son
Reincarnation and Christianity (Revelations 3:12-13,
the implications within the Gospel of John and the account of the blind
man). The pre-existent soul of man and pre-ordination. Christianity in the
first century
Carnal/Soul and Spiritual natures – transformation and
the paradox of man. Trials and pains of Birth, entering the Kingdom
Seeds within the fruit – faith, beliefs, works and
Knowledge (gnosis). False prophets, “by their fruits you will recognize
them.” Ritual observance and outward change?
Overcoming the animal nature and division – the Royal
Law of God, seeking that which is genuine
