The Balance

I have studied now for eleven years with various
organizations and people. My last study was with
the Jehovah's Witnesses. Though they came remarkably
close to the quality of the discourse we've been having
at the DoD they fall short in many glaring respects and
so continue to lack credibility in charging that (when
I wield my office) I am the evil one.

1. Christianity is about the mystery of death. Death and sin
entered the world through Adam and are removed through Jesus.
The process is called "the way" and it is symbolized by baptism,
which is an allegory for death and tears, and is followed by
making the right choices with a commitment to being present
when it is time to make choices.

2. On the issue of resurrection, Jesus is unequivocal. In Matthew
22 Jesus informs the Sadducees that the resurrected are as unto the
angels of God in Heaven.

3. The resurrected Christ, then, is demonstrated.. given what we have
just said... here...
..
30] For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
and
1] The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

Christianity is ABOUT conquering death and hell, which
unify, in thought, with the old Hebrew laws of natural
consequence. There is a way to live on after physical
death, Jesus tells us, and then shows us how.
In so doing the diligent student is restored to a state
of balance, or Eden, after which his community is as
impacted. This is the essence of Christianity, not a dream
of a future world to come... which we can hope for. But there
is also hope in the present, for there are those of us able
to perform the wonders required of a species with a divine
connection. But truth, gentlemen, and lady witness, is the only
way to freedom. From death as well.
