Well Farmer, I do have to say that I read this Maria Letter #309 last night which I found under COG pubs here. I was saddened and amazed at the amount of effort which has gone into the 195 Para. masterpice, no, exhaustive dissertation on the End-time so carefully non-descript. Well at least they're not pretending to be Prophets; that's left to Khruschev, David Livingston and Abrahim...No actually Abrahim wasn't there...
Let's see there are twenty some vols., 3000 some 'Letters', over 500 drafted by Maria...
What alot of stuff! Energy! Time! Money!
As I read #309-Maria I was impressed at how little you can say in 195 Paragraphs; which unfortunately leads directly to THE PROBLEM:
Repititious Indoctrination, key element to maintain control when what you're saying just doesn't have that feeding edge of the Stuff of The Spirit. Well, whatever, maybe I'm just wired different and am surely in no place to judge. I will be held accountable for my thoughts, opinions, and articles.
For God Sake People! Get Simple...Get Real!
Precedents!!!! The firstfruits of an extreme doctrine...Revolutionary idea of the great extended personal Family of the king & prophet!
HOLD IT....Hold that happy thought! Think, please, what can this picture show us...teach us if you dare.
No...I am not an enemy, rather a loyal supporter to the End! And that one you will have to seek God to figure out! I believe to be Christian is to grow into a progressive emulation of Jesus with all the gifts, talents, and quirks that make us individual masterpieces of His Great Chess Game!...Accountable we are all.
How are the gifts among you, strong? Good!
Gifts of healing, love, patience, leadership, helps. Understanding..."Wherefore, by their fruits ye shall know them."
Stand tall before the Jesus of the Dead Sea scrolls.
