Is Jesus the Lord of the Occult? He said "Follow me and I will show you the way.

" He then proceeded to walk on wa ter, calm storms, curse fig trees, whip the merchants who were buying and sellin g in the church yard, raise the dead, heal the sick, turn water into wine and ma ny other miracles. He also exposed the religious authorities for what they were, and called them white washed sepulchres (tombs). He said to give of your money to the poor, not to the white washed sepulchres. H ow many of you give your money to the Minister, (or Priest or Reverend) thereby making him hugely wealthy at your expense? Jesus himself refused to own anything . How many Ministers, (or Priests or Reverends) actually feed, house or care abo ut the welfare of the members of their congregations? Are they living like Jesus did and doing what Jesus did? Is there main purpose in life, and the bulk of th eir activities what Jesus said they should be? Sadly, the answer is no! They hav e abandoned the poor, needy, downtrodden, prisoners, outcasts etc. and are conce ntrating selfishly on themselves and their own personal salvation, or special eli teness for belonging to what each believes is the only true Christian way. If you have ever gone to the minister in your hour of serious need, no matter ho w much money you ve given to him in the past, you ll know what he says to escape par ting with a single cent of his "hard earned" cash. His attitude is "Give to me, and look to God for your returns." He also basically says, in careful, cleverly placed wording: "If you check up on me, you ll be checking up on God, so be carefu l!" You are likely to be instantly excommunicated if you stick your nose where i t doesn t belong. The firm belief is that anyone who complains, questions or criti cises is disloyal, evil or possessed. In trying to explain all the blatant contradictions in the bible, it occurred to me that the Anti Christ has been and gone. It was Paul. He changed the entire mes sage that Jesus was teaching and wrote his own version of the truth which was acce pted as the bible. If you want the real truth, then only follow what Jesus actua lly said and only do what he actually did, as he instructed us to do. Everything Paul teaches is very anti Christ because it subtly contradicts or twists everyt hing Jesus specifically said. You might find you ve been worshipping Paul s propaganda and Paul s followers while im agining yourself to be obeying God and following Jesus. The truth has been twist ed to deceive you, to keep you berating and condemning yourself, and to keep you giving the wealthy church all your money, respect and devotion. Who said Paul w as the chosen messenger of Jesus? Only Paul did. If you want proof, then just ta ke a look through history and see all the evil and damage Christians have done in the name of Jesus while actually not following Jesus at all but Paul. If they ha d done what Jesus actually told them to do, or even what Jesus himself did, they would never have done all those wicked, cruel things. Paul was brilliantly clever. He faced a big decision: keep on killing people, or get those people to change their minds and stop doing what they are doing that is, stop doing what Jesus taught them to do practice magic and create miracles. So he told them all the things that good, holy people want to hear. His teaching s contained all the good values of the Old Testament that he and the people alre ady believed in, but included enough changes in it for the people to see it as n ew and revolutionary. This took their eye and attention off the real good news. His teachings were onl y new in that they subtly shifted the emphasis on a few important points and inc luded the rejection of the people that Jesus disapproved of, like the Pharisees. It also cleverly outlawed the actual teachings of Jesus. Remember, there were t hirteen gospels written, but only four were kept, and the rest were destroyed. I wonder why?

I have a feeling that the experience Paul had on the road to Damascus was an att empt on his life by the followers of Jesus practising magic. That terrified him and forced him to back off, re-think and take stock. So he thought of a way to b ecome the good leader instead. He could win any battle of physical might because he had mighty power and leadership, plus he had the skills, cunning, training, armour and the numbers, but he was helpless over the kind of magic and miracles that Jesus taught. There is nowhere on earth that one can hide from that kind of phenomenon. Many powerful political leaders change sides when they see they can t win. It has happened so many times in history, and happens in religions as well as in govern ments. After his death, Saint Francis of Assisi was canonised by the Catholic Ch urch to include him in the faith so that his teachings were no longer the offici al opposition. The Church at that time was into power, opulence and greed (what has changed?). Francis was hotly against that and acquired a huge following of p eople who agreed with him. While he was alive, they lived a humble, wealth-less, happy existence as monks and preached against the wealth of the Catholic Church . The Clever church authorities included and twisted his teachings to make the Cat holic parishioners want even less of their hard earned money and give even more to the church. Many became nuns and brothers and devoted their entire lives to h ard labour for no reward in the service of the church. It was very expensive to have your children educated in convents, and to go to Catholic hospitals, yet al l the fortunes of money, extracted from the faithful public, were not kept or us ed by the people who laboured for it. It went to God . If you want real inner peace, absolute happiness, holy serenity, and freedom fro m fear and guilt, (the real feeling of being totally safe and forgiven), then le arn to use your psychic powers and supernatural abilities. Learn to walk on wate r, heal the sick, raise the dead, calm storms, turn water into wine and curse fi g trees if they are not bearing any fruit. Learn to use your powers to nurture, heal and create and enjoy the ecstasy that that brings. Combat your fear by standing up to the church authorities and challen ging them. Ask them to explain where your money is going. Ask them why their fol lowers are not experiencing the abundant life that Jesus said we d get if we followe d him. Let them explain to you why Paul keeps contradicting Jesus. In their expl anations you might see that they too have become white washed sepulchres. I thin k most of them begin with good intentions, but are very quickly seduced by wealt h, authority and power. As long as you have any fear or guilt, you will not be able to develop your psyc hic powers or supernatural abilities. You need an innocent natural faith in God like a child has faith in his parents, believing you will receive them. This see ms to be the reason why the churches fill their followers with fear and guilt at every sermon. It keeps people begging for forgiveness instead. It keeps them ve ry humble and very helpless and unable to stand up for themselves. It prevents t hem from using their common sense. It keeps them under control. Humility is only necessary once we start raising the dead and walking on water. The call for hum ility keeps us from going over board on pride and self-importance. By the way, j ust another point, how humble are ministers, reverends and priests? The only instruction Jesus gave us regarding our powers was not to harm others w ith them. We have to use our powers for good only, and never for harm or selfish gain at the expense of others. The Lords prayer tells us to ask forgiveness for our trespasses that is if we tread on someone else s turf by mistake with our mag ic, and to forgive others who trespass against us that is others who s magic has t read of our turf by mistake or folly. The church could never understand the word

"trespass", so they told us it means sins . It does not mean sins, it means trespa ss. When you start using your God given powers you will fully understand the Lor ds prayer exactly as it is written without the meaning having to be twisted to f it in with Paul s teaching. When Jesus talks about sins, He plainly says sins, not trespass. Right now on planet earth there are people who are levitating, dissipating cloud s, walking on hot coals, lighting candles and bending spoons with their minds, h ealing the sick with their hands, to mention just a few things. Some particularl y practised and disciplined people are walking through solid surfaces (David Cop perfield and others), which proves that humans can do these things. The church l ied to us by telling us that these abilities come from Satan. How could we be so stupid to believe them? They definitely do not, unless Jesus was lying to us an d actually He was the son of Satan! Magical powers are just another of our natur al human talents and can be developed by many hours of meditation, peace, practi ce and devotion to whatever we call God, no matter our religion. It has always been the church, and only the church that has stopped people from developing, learning and investigating. Yet the authorities in the churches have always investigated, learned and developed and consequently acquired their powe rs. Then they used their powers and abilities to subdue, confuse and enslave the people. They have always told their people to protect themselves from learning and knowledge and remain ignorant, helpless and humble to avoid the possibility of Satan confusing and corrupting people. I m not suggesting they did this conscio usly and calculatingly (although they may have), but they did this non the less and still do. Lets not confuse using magic for evil purposes and personal gain, with developin g supernatural powers, psychic ability and creating miracles for the good of all mankind. Ask and you will receive. Knock and the door will be opened to you. If you follow the church propaganda and not Jesus, then you won t ask for these powe rs, and so you won t get them. However, like any other talent, some people are bor n with these powers, and those who happen to be Christian have faithfully tried to crush them for fear of sinning. Jesus says that if you bury your talents you are a worthless servant. So if you are trying to be faithful servant of Jesus an d you are not using your talents, then you are a worthless servant. Only Paul wo uld be very pleased with you and proud of you. This subject definitely warrants further investigation. I feel it is high time w e all took an intelligent adult look at some of the things we have blindly belie ved because the responsibility is on us, not God, to build a better world to liv e in. If our beliefs cause us to feel terrible guilt and fear, and if they cause us to hate or reject a huge section of the population (e.g. other religions and non religious) then our beliefs can only lead to misery and animosity at best, and war at worst. Surely if you pray with all your heart for years and years and get no answers or help from God, then there must obviously be something fundamentally wrong with the teachings you subscribe to. Ask God for magical powers and you ll start to rec eive them immediately. Don t just take my word for it, try it and see. Start using your powers to help others and you will feel fantastic. You will definitely hav e life more abundantly. You will never be short of money or food. You will have ESP and intuitive knowing so you ll make the right choices, go to the right places , find the right jobs and do the right things. You ll find answers to your problem s and be able to do a lot of good. I cannot believe that God would contradict himself. Either there is no God, or t he teachings have been corrupted to suit a select few. The Church tells us to bl ame ourselves when we see that the promises God made are not evident in our live s. How about we re-evaluate the account of what God said? Paul was not the only pe

rson to wipe out huge sections of what should have been the bible. King James di d a huge edit, and so did Constantine. Maybe plenty of others did too. Paul didn t only wipe out most of what we needed to have, he re-wrote almost the whole thin g. Paul was a righteous war man and a conqueror, fighting to stamp out evil in jus t the same way as our previous government. That s why everyone following Paul thro ugh the ages has been that way too. The Christians always squash any information of this kind, which in its self is suspicious, but non-Christians collect, study and cherish it. Surely it should b e the other way around? There is none so blind as those who will not see. Tell a Christian that he ll go to hell if he looks, and he ll quickly pull the wool over h is own eyes in fear and guilt without checking to see if what you are telling hi m is true or not and that was Paul s cleverest trick. I hope this sparks a lot of response because I believe more and more as I look a round that something is very wrong with the Christian faith and all divisions or denominations of it. There is no point in blaming, but every point in noticing the hypocrisy of the faith that teaches and preaches love but practices more hat red, condemnation and self-importance than any atheist, agnostic or any other re ligion. I may be wrong since these are just my humble observations and opinions. There m ay be some great wisdom that has escaped me. If anyone can show me the error of my ways and prove it in real life, (not by quoting the holy book ), then please do so. I will watch this paper to see what you have to say. I am always grateful fo r criticism because that is how I learn. This reminds me of a story I got off the net from my news group: Five Monkeys were put in a large cage with a flight of steps, on the top of whic h was a banana. Soon a Monkey saw the banana and began up the steps to get it. A ll the Monkeys were sprayed with water. This stopped that Monkey and upset all t he other Monkeys as well. Every time any Monkey attempted to climb the stairs to get the banana, all the Monkeys were sprayed with water. Before long, if one of them tried to climb the stairs, all the others would attack him and stop him. A t this point, water spraying was no longer necessary. Then one of the Monkeys was replaced with a new Monkey who had no experience of stairs, the banana or water spraying. Very soon the new Monkey saw the banana an d headed for it. The other four Monkeys attacked him and stopped him. After a fe w more tries, he gave up. Then a second one of the original Monkeys was replaced with a new one. When he noticed the banana, he too jumped onto the steps to get it, and was attacked by the others. The first new Monkey joined in the attack o n the second new Monkey enthusiastically. Then a third Monkey was replaced, and, when he attempted the stairs for the bana na, all the others attacked him until the third Monkey no longer made any such a ttempt. The same thing happened when the fourth Monkey and then the fifth Monkey were in turn replaced. Now there were five new Monkeys preventing each other fr om climbing the stairs, completely accepting that none of them may climb the sta irs or have the banana. Even though not one of them had any idea why. Terri Ann Laws 10 Pluto Rd Plumstead 7800
