(i think some SYs may have questioned the need for seven different sites.) The email reads: " Thank you for the quick reply. The reason I am writing is because a friend of mine gave me the link to your website, and I now have a question or two that I can't find the answer to on there. I do pray you can and will answer them for me: - 1) Does your belief system allow that Jesus Christ is God Almighty as proclaimed by the prophet Isaiah in Isaiah 9:6 and by Jesus Himself in the book of Revelation chapter 1 verse 8? (J) " Dear Fundamentalist Christian, A belief system is only ever a `belief system'. Fundamentalist Christians need to realize that a belief system is only ever going to be a belief system... and not the Ultimate or " Absolute Truth " Itself. The fact that there are so many different belief systems in the different Christian denominations....should in and of themselves already tell a person that these are but external man-made 'partial' truths which often relate to a particular Christian Denomination. I am talking about such things as belief in predestination or not, belief in full immersion Water Baptism or belief in sprinking of Holy Water only instead....differing codes of living, such as imbibing or not imbibing of alcoholic beverages, and the list goes on. Then when it comes to theology, which is " the science of God " ...the doctrine and dogma `doctors' have really complicated that and they argue endlessly about theology (the science of God). And if some of it DOES make sense, it is usually so profound that no ordinary person can make head nor tail out of it, (By the way i am talking from personal experience and i HAVE STUDIED THEOLOGY. i even got 100% in my exam, but did it make sense?! NO! The other thing that Christians need to know... is that NO `BELIEF SYSTEM' can in and of itself produce " Absolute Truth " because a 'belief system' is just that... a belief system....NO MORE AND NO LESS. What i am REALLY SAYING is that no one's MERE `belief system' has the Power to Transform Lives, because the Power of God is not in a `belief system', even though the purveyors of `belief systems' may have you convinced of that fact....so PLEASE....BE WARNED! No `belief system' will give you Salvation. Salvation comes from the Holy Spirit's Power within, and not from any Man-Made Belief System. A lot of Christian people have been lured into a false sense of security in that they think that if they believe in a certain `belief system' they will obtain their Salvation " J " , for instance, believes that his particular belief system does that for him, when in actual fact it will be his putting into practice the instructions of Jesus and going into the Temple of the Holy Spirit within himself, that will lead to " J " 's salvation. That is why his very approach to me was to question my 'belief system' to see if it DID INDEED match up with his 'chosen' doctrine and dogma 'doctor's' belief system. It is of VITAL IMPORTANCE to " J " , because he believes that a 'wrong' belief system (to be read as 'any belief system that is not exactly like his')...immediately 'announces' itself to be Anti-God. This is the mindset (and believe me....it is a MIND 'SET' that will not be 'moved')characteristic of Fundamentalism. However nice as they are, and community oriented as they are....mere going to church, mere singing hymns and mere outward displays profit nothing if it does not come from the Spirit Within. The Real Thing cannot take place on the outside. It has to take place on the inside. Jesus said " Seek me and you will find me, knock and the Door will open " . This is Inward Seeking and not external Outward Seeking. For those Christians who have never 'sought within', please take Jesus's Words seriously. Follow them, and look within the Inner Temple where resides the Spirit. The explanation that Jesus is " Mighty God " but not " All Mighty God " has already been made, as Jesus said that no one had seen or heard His Father, who is " Almighty God " . In other words, " All Mighty God " never incarnates! I have already explained that it is `nonsensical' and absurd to even think that a `son' is his `father'. Instead, it is a case of them being " One In Spirit " . Jesus expresses this One-ness of Spirit in the Words: - " Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me. " (John 14:11) The same is the case with all Christians who receive the Real Baptism of the Holy Spirit, which Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, the promised Christian `Comforter' has come to give to those who ask. It is an actual experience that is felt as a Cool Breeze or Wind on the hands, as the disciples of Jesus felt on the Day of Pentecost. This is a Sure Sign that cannot be faked. No doctrine and dogma `doctors' can give you that! So...whom are you going to believe...Someone who enables you to have your Spiritual Resurrection.... or someone who JUST TALKS about spiritual resurrection. Yes, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi is the 'promised Comforter' who is giving us our 'Resurrection of Our Spirit', also known as the Second Birth of the Spirit, NOW! The Holy Spirit within rises and takes your Spirit to the Kingdom of God within yourself! And this is felt as a Cool Wind of the Holy Spirit. This is a real experience that will quieten all doubts. It is the Holy Spirit/Comforter within that awakens and arises and carries us to the Kingdom of God within! However, Fundamentalist Christians are not in a position to welcome and accept the " Christian Comforter " who has come, because She has been `edited right out' of Christian teachings and Christian understanding. The thing is... Jesus is not only in the Bosom of His Father... but He is also in the Bosom of His Mother, whom the Christians call the " Holy Spirit " . Coming back to the Trinity, the Three-In-One... have you ever heard of a Father having a Son without a Mother? No... it is absolutely absurd and nonsensical to think otherwise! Remember, " As above, so below " . The truth is that the doctrine and dogma `doctors' just edited Her out... that's all! She was well known to be Sophia, Spirit of Wisdom by the Greeks, for example. The Divine Mother of the Universe (the Holy Spirit) was worshipped before the Advent of Jesus Christ. It was the patriarchal influence that diminished the matriarchal identity when they edited " God, the Mother " to be a genderless `holy spirit'. A Holy Spirit... She Is For Sure, but Her gender was taken away. " God All Mighty " is spoken of in the masculine gender. God the Son is spoken of in the masculine gender. God, the Mother was rewritten as `a Holy Spirit' and Her gender was removed, so that we did not know She was the Divine Mother! There are many references in the Bible which actually refer to " God, the Mother " but you would not know it, because She comes under various other names for God. Here is some information regarding the Divine Feminine in the Judeo-Christian tradition. That does not mean you have to become `steeped in it'. It is just that you should at least have a general understanding of it... that's all. I know that the doctrine and dogma `doctors' will not like you to read about traditional Judeo-Christian theology, because they have broken from tradition, and made up their own theology. The things is, the traditional Judeo-Christian theology actually 'agrees' with the 'belief systems' of all other spiritual traditions, because it came from 'ancient roots'. This knowledge is therefore a very 'basic fundamental' that has been lost to the average 'Christian Fundamental', and that is why they are confused and think that a Son could also be His Own Father. As the Western ecclesiastical circles, who are the doctrine and dogma `doctors' enjoy academic fame, they have not made it generally known what they actually know themselves.... and this is that the " Holy Spirit " ...is actually " God, the Mother " and the Holy Spirit is actually the " Power of God All Mighty " and they are like the Sun and the Sun's Light, so close in connection to each other. They are One! In fact, " God, the Father " , " God, the Mother " , and " God, the Son " are One In Spirit! Violet Please read the informative topic below on the subject of the Divine Feminine: The Divine Feminine Usually when one envisions a personification of " God " within the Western paradigm of religious culture, one envisions a masculine figure. Therefore many assume there is no " Divine Feminine " aspect within the Western Tradition, but this is not the case. Although it is not bandied about within Western ecclesiastical circles...the Divine Feminine is definitely within the Western Judeo-Christian tradition and is alternatively paired with the Divine Masculine aspect or seen as the cause and birther of the Divine Masculine in manifestation. Now within the Western tradition there is only the " One, " and that One i neither masculine/feminine nor any other " physical " appellation/description we could imagine. It is beyond the beyond, it is the Ain, the Ain Soph, the Ain Soph Aur (The Limitless Light of No Thing), and ot of that effluence of " All " the " One " extrudes...or emanates...itself into physical form (the many become one and the one become many). This is the beginning of the kabbalistic " tzim tzum " theory, and the " Tree of Life " in one way is a hierarchical map of the One's energies as they are stepped down into physical matter. As these energies are stepped down, it is often easier to describe them with masculine/feminine appellations and descriptions. There are ten positions on the " Tree of Life " ; the first three are named the Supernal Triangle and incorporate the extrusion of the " One " Kether (sometimes referred to as crown or will). From Kether, instantaneously in some schools of thought and sequentially in others, two more positions (sephirah) are extruded…Binah and Chokmah. Chokmah is often shown as male, the bearded gray-headed man of most Western art depicting " God, " and he is referred to as wisdom. The position is masculine/active in nature. The other sephir that is created in this initial outbreath of the " One " is Binah, " Understanding " . Binah is the Divine Feminine, the " sea " from where all is birthed into form and to which all will return…she is the collective potential of all that will and can be. In the of Western Judeo-Christian philosophy she is often called the Shekinah, " the presence of God, " and it is she that nurtures, guides and births the children of Israel (which means consciousness). In the book of Genesis in the Bible we have it clearly stated not that God, Jehovah or YHWH created the heavens and the earth, but that the Elohim did. Now Elohim is a feminine noun that means " Creator Goddesses. " This would be in alignment with the tzim tzum theory of emanation that form flows forth from Binah, the Divine Feminine...which when within the plane of manifestation, as we noted before, is called the Shekinah (presence of God). When Miriam (the name derives from the word for sea), who is the Priestess to the Shekinah, dies in the desert while the children of Israel (consciousness) are wandering, they no longer have water, for the Shekinah has left (so the Bible says). Moses is told (by YHWH which means " creation " ) to " ask " a rock (meaning faith) to bring forth water (meaning the flow of Spirit). Moses is too stuck in his masculine polarity, and instead of asking uses force and strikes the rock with his rod to bring forth water. Because of this not honoring of the Divine Feminine he is not allowed to go into the promised land. Think about it *grin* This Trinity can be seen again within the Christian tradition, and yet has been re-named as Father, Son, Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost would equate to the Divine Feminine, and even earlier in our Western Tradition the " dove " was a symbol of the Divine Feminine and the harbinger of the covenant with Noah. Thus Jesus is empowered by the Divine Feminine, the Holy Spirit. So at base level the entire Judeo-Christian theology is based on the Divine Feminine (though you won't get many to currently admit it in orthodox circles). In fact Jehovah, YHWH, the being that most people think is " God " in Western tradition, isn't mentioned till much later in Genesis, and it actually means " creation " . YHShWH or Joshua, the name of Jesus, has a " Shin " in the center, which is considered a " Mother letter " in Hebrew...the letter of the Divine Feminine that can manifest in matter through the principle of purifying fire. Like the dove descending into Jesus. Jesus serves the Shekinah, as he states in the New Testament: he is come not to change the law but to fulfill it; remember Moses didn't fulfill it, he struck the rock. Jesus also says he will baptize by fire. Interesting, eh? So if you wish to find the Divine Feminine within the Western Tradition, fulfill the Law and be Baptized by fire, it might be worth your while to do a little study on your own. Within the Western Tradition the Divine Feminine is alive and well. She may be hidden, but she will shine her face upon all those who seek " the Presence of God.
