CHURCH OF THE GOD WITHIN
A NEW RELIGION PART 8

 

 

HOW DO WE PERCEIVE THE HOLY TRINITY?

 

The First Person of the Holy Trinity is Mother God. The Second Person of the Holy Trinity is the Child of God or the Creature of God who is a total alignment with God. The Third person is the Holy Spirit or the Divine Energy which is transmitted from God to Her Creature. (The Creature of God is any creation of God which includes all natural creation such as mountains, trees and water. It does not include the fallen creatures of God such as demons and mortals in Hell, or those persons who cut themselves off from God and are willingly destined for Hell.

 

HOW DO WE FIND SALVATION?

 

We believe that any person who accepts God into their heart in whatever way that they understand God will be born again in Spirit. That person must also follow the directives of God to the best of their understanding.

How does Jesus Christ fit into this? He is a perfect Role Model, Exemplar, Master, Leader, Savior; and everything that he teaches is the most perfect truth there is. Following Him and His Holy Mother is a sure road to Salvation and perfection. We believe in taking up our Cross and following after them, and dying on that Cross with them. But not everyone knows Jesus and Mary. For people who do not follow the Christian religion, there is also Salvation. The great religions such as Yoga, Buddhism, Judaism, and many others all teach the exact same path that Jesus taught. And so when Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no one comes to the Father but through Me", He was referring to His Path, His Doctrine, and His Teachings. There are great souls and Saints in all religions.

 

 

WHAT IS AN AVATAR?

 

According to Yoga, when a person goes through all the life-times necessary for Perfection, He or She ascends to Eternal Beatitude. At that point God may ask the question, "Are you willing to return to Earth in order to help Humanity even though you have earned the right to be in Heaven forever?" (It is understandable that it is a great sacrifice to come back to this world of suffering when a person can remain with God.) If a person chooses to come back to Earth at that point, She or He is called an AVATAR. Avatars can be very famous, or less famous. Buddha, Jesus and Mary, Lord Krishna, and of late date RamaKrishna, are all examples.

 

DO YOU BELIEVE IN REINCARNATION?

 

Yes, but I cannot explain it. We also believe in Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory. If a person dies and goes to Purgatory, they stay there until they are cleansed, and then they ascend into Heaven. If a person goes to Hell they either stay there forever, or an extremely long time (hundreds or thousands of years). The reason that I mentioned Hell might not be forever, in the Apocryphal Gospel of Peter Jesus says to Peter that "Hell is not forever." The Catholic Church has always insisted that Hell is forever. Our Church allows differences of opinion on many things, and people should think for themselves. If people go to one of these three places, where are the souls who live over and over again in mortal bodies or even as Buddhists believe... in animals. The only conclusion we can come to is perhaps, some people reincarnate over and over; whereas others go to the other side and stay there.
