On being divinity or a saint.

Some people find my moniker of Saint Thomas the Divine rather presumptuous. It definitely is not, however, for every baptized Christian that has been confirmed knows what he is before it is even mentioned. I definitely can call myself divine because I know in my heart of hearts, and indeed have always known, how very much I love everyone on the face of the earth; it was for this reason that I was eventually killed for the sins of the world right along with Jesus my savior.

Now, a gay man is not divine, for if gays loved everyone on the face of the earth, my life would not, indeed, could not have taken a drastic course! Only heterosexuals are divine, okay! Indeed, how could any willful sinner against the Law be this!

The point here is that some of you out there need to start calling yourselves what you are: Saint X the divine! Do not expect anyone, be he a Pope or anything else to call you a saint if you can't call yourself this first. This is life's law, and it is fair! A true saint is a cattle, sheep, goat, and pigeon slaughtering Jew of a Christian! Is this clear?

Now, after you are baptized into the Church of Christ or the Jehovah's Witnesses and have been confirmed with the Holy Spirit, you need to get Bah or Bat Mitzvahed, and every Christian should worship Jesus Christ from a Jewish synagogue at least once a year, preferably on one of the High Holy Days of their calendar, especially Passover.

Peace!

On Truth

Pontius Pilate asked Jesus, the Savior, at one point after He had been brought to him "What is truth?" Jesus didn't really bother to answer this question directly, however, and people still speculate about it even today. In a deeply divided Church, and a world full of people who can't find any peace, folk wonder what it is a lot. In point of fact, they that were interested in truth didn't have to ask what it was, they simply knew it. Well, I, the ruler of this world am going to tell you what truth is.


Truth is this: The point in the cross of Jesus other than salvation is that there are indeed losers down here on earth; these are niether the rich nor the poor or anything in between, they are just who they are, and you need the Bible, especially the Old Testament, to spot them!The truth is that sin is real, devils love it, saints don't, the one possesses a level of talent in all aspects that will never be measured fully by mankind and the other is a mere human being, and that Israel has always been filled with the one as opposed to the other throughout all its long and convoluted history. This reveals the ultimate relevant truth in life which is that only hatred and indifference are complicated things; love is simple and men simply don't love God or their neighbors! This is Truth!

Now, rise with me, Tom Adams - the King of kings!

Peace!

On the Special, Winners, and the Magnificent!

A lot of people are upset with me because I claim to be God, figuring me for a blasphemer. These folk fail to notice that I am a genuinely special man. There are a lot of people that have always admired me for this reason, but what most of these folk didn't note is that I wasn't bound to win a lot over the long haul. There's a key difference between being special and being a winner. I am special because I, God, have more talent in my little pinkey than most men who will ever enter this world will ever have in their whole bodies. I, however, have never had to truly struggle for good grades, I have eaten right or trained correctly as an athlete in my particular event, and I have never been much of a reader or a writer until middle age. What makes anyone a winner is that they work very, very, very hard, and the beautiful and redemptive thing about life is that everyone on earth, including me, can be one of these, if they simply want to be. Thus begins the end of all poverty on earth. It's the winners that succeed in life, not necessarily the special. The magnificent or superb are both things; this is what God has to become for there to be any lasting peace on earth. Note that just because you were more successful than me didn't mean you were truly greater; this only I am!

Now, the reason God loses most of the time is that there are men in his family, the Jews, that are crude and unsophisticated that don't want to have to compete with Him! These Jews desperately need God not to be a winner so they can have a few of things he has coming to Him, especially beautiful Black women! This is why there has always been this massive problem in the spirit world of just being able to work hard at what really would make me better off than any of them ever could be! Unfortunate-ly, the Jews have always abused the greatest and most important aspect of their own heritage - their prophets. This is who I, Tom Adams, am and my enemies are them of my own household! The jig is up for these Jews though, because I have created too many real winners myself, and life is fair! So it goes!

Now listen! Whenever a Nobel Laureate prostrates himself in front of a Bible in secret and says the words: Exalted be Jesus the Father, Jesus the Son, and Jesus the Holy Spirit for ever and ever, I become that particular Nobel Laureate. Whenever an Olympic or World track and field Champion does this, I become that particular champion. Whenever an Eagle Scout, or college valedictorian, or Rhodes Scholar, or sovereign or any manner of achiever – male or female - does this kind of thing, I wind up with the exact same honor. When the Pope does this, I will be Pope! My life works this way because I am a saint! All you have to do to wipe these people out is this.

The only thing that is clearly in evidence here is that no one, especially that are college graduates, down here is truly humbling themselves before Jesus Christ, my king, the actual holy God of creation, but me! This is why everyone’s best friend just got nothing but dogged in it. In a very real sense, your buddies down here, us Christians, were hostages; if you want this to stop, do what you have to do!

Peace!

On the Game of Love and Why Money Doesn't Save!

This is one of the most important articles you will ever read! You know, the Holy, even Jesus have always told you to beware of the love of money. You can say this to people until you're blue in the face, but most just don't buy it. Is it really true that riches are deceitful? Yes! Why? Because there are some things in life it cannot buy!Among those things are happiness, peace, love, honor, praise and glory! Why is this? Because all the gold in the cosmos can't buy you the distinction of being an actual blood relative of Abraham; money can't buy you the distinction of being an actual Jew! This distinction belongs only to a chosen few. Money also can't buy you the designation Saint of the Living God. It can't buy you a berth at Harvard University or a Nobel or Pulitzer Prize either if you don't have the talent. Now, if it couldn't buy you these things, what was it actually good for? Answer: absolutely nothing, my friends!

Now, to my point about the game of love. Many view love as a game because there were some people in the world that actually expected this for nothing at all. This type of person is the way they are because they don't really want it; all this type ever cared about was money, not understanding that that just could never bring them real peace in and of itself. The above paragraph explains why this was. Such people are the only real failures there ever were. They are natural failures because they just don't understand and value the only thing that can ever really bring them peace, which is the true riches. If folk were truly smart, they would seek power instead of money. This comes from being a perfect servant of Jesus! Note that most of the holiest men of the Bible never lived in palaces including Jesus Himself. Yet these men held sway over the course of human history itself, controlling everything from the course of wind and flame to the destiny of stars in the heavens and even the paths of celestial objects! Power is what you really want; this kind of power! So think, and be wise!

Peace!

On Love and Admiration!

What is Love? Is it the same as admiration? Why do these two questions even matter? In answer to the last of these, the question of whether there is any real difference between love and admiration has serious consequences for our salvation.

As for the first question above, I will observe that love is simply the command of God! If we are Christians, we do not have a choice as whether to be everyone's friend down here; we simply have to be!We cannot cut anyone off; are you on drugs or something? The whole business reveals that while love does have some emotional aspects, in reality it was nothing more than a mere decision. If there are some who do not love, it's only because they haven't decided to do so yet. Hence, love must really be nothing more than respect.

That answers the first question. Now, what of admiration? Well, when it comes to admiration, we only truly do those that are most like ourselves. Obviously, then, most Christians, including clergy, are lost, for in reality it is very rare to find anyone down here that actually admired Jesus' act the way I did as a nine year old boy!

No, love and admiration are not the same thing! We always love who we admire, but we don't always admire them we must love. Know for sure, that if after reading the gospels for the first time, you admired Jesus, that He did you as well. Think about what it means to have the arrant admiration of the only God there is. How great is God and the angels, even all the holy men and women of ancient times that they should actually admire you? Know that if you were a young person that admired Jesus, you were the most multi-talented and gifted individual on earth! This fact has been borne out here in my case. If you admired God, you were God! Everyone knows or at least should know that God is their friend. When it comes to the kind of people that God actually acknowleges as his own, however, there is a rub. The reason admiration is more important than love is that only real friends do one another. Because real friends are always equals, the man that admired God was the Almighty Himself; life is just too boring without equals, this is exactly why such people do actually exist in creation! These are not merely Jesus' servants, but His friends! Think about what it means to be able to hang out every day you are alive with God Himself- to be the Lord's intimate confidante! Can just anybody hang out with the President of the United States or the Pope?! My Lord, what of Jesus Himself, the King of glory!
What an incredible honor!Now, perhaps you can finally understand why it was so important to love God like you have always been told to. Especially you, O Israel!
Next time, just do it!

Peace!

On the Love of the Poor.

Some Christians, particularly in Protestant denominations who have left Saint Peter, don't seem to remember how important it is to love the poor. While a person would probably have to be crazy not to want to be rich, one must beware of the love of money, for it is not the true riches! This is because most folk down here on earth are only human and, as such, not truly wise; hence, the vast majority of people only wind up ruined pursuing vast sums of money, usually by turning to some sort of crime.
A good name is the one important thing in life, to be esteemed is more valuable than silver or gold! But, if you just can't live without cash, know that all it ever took or ever will take to make mountains of it is hard work! If life could ever really fail any of us, God would be a joke; hence, if you simply don't love sleep, and work as hard as you possibly can always, you will be exactly the very success you always wanted to be one day! I am God; I know whereof I speak! Trust me!

But, now, back to the real point of this article. A very profound truth that I recently came to realize is that, if you were a man that loved even men and women that had little to nothing to their names, you were God! Men and women like this are immortal; herein, we find the key to the salvation so many soi-disant saints in the Churches of Christ talk about but don't really possess. Life is about the love of the poor, for the fact of the matter is that if you had it in for the least of people down here, you failed to notice the greatest man on earth even when he was right in your face!

Peace!

On Innocence

Did you ever notice how the world handles innocence? Typically, at least in the United States, people try to preserve it in the young only for a little while; then, at some point, folk generally try to get youth to discard it. I say unto you truthfully as an angel sent from on high that if the world were wise it would not do this. The world works the way it does because Israel, rather than being steeped in the traditions of the past, is steeped in sin, and hence the Christian Church. Because no one either in or out of Israel - and this includes all Christian denominations of the Church - is living by the truth, everyone reaches a point where they must leave innocence, and, hence, love and one another behind. But this is exactly the law of sin and death that many of the holy spoke of in the Bible. Note then, God's plan for the redemption of sinful man - even of the Jews. If anyone really understood the point in salvation, if anyone really was a god down here, they would know that innocence is something you want to preserve from the cradle to the grave, and that life really is to no small extent about the art of remaining a baby until you the day you die! Not a child in terms of being infantile or anything like that but a baby in terms of the youthful wonder, exuberance, and excitement you bring to the way you look at God's creation, and a baby in terms of your obedience to the one parent that really matters - God Himself! Behold, now, sinful Israel! Where are the altars of fire, the sheep, the cattle, the pigeons, the rams, and the goats of ancient times. We the elect angels of the living, loving God of the universe are not fooled by any of this business down here, for we know that Jew is as Jew does, and so, too, Christian! The fact of the matter is neither one of these exists down here, for there was never anyone truly interested in anything the living God wanted. Love does not break new or old testament law!

Know for sure that sex is totally safe, natural and healthy only if it is innocent sex; this kind of sex is only that between men and women who are married. Homosexuality and sex with animals are perversions punishable by death in the Church along with certain other sexual crimes. An old man who wishes to marry a young girl of 12 - for girls are considered women at 12 in Israel - is not a pervert. This is what young women are for; what fool does not know this. Is she a beast of the field for God's sake? But he has to speak to her parents about her, and if they do not approve, there is no chance they will ever see one another. This is all. These people down here put sweet for bitter and bitter for sweet as Isaiah said. Perversion is as stated above, not as defined by the constitution of the United States.

The situation with the singer R Kelly was a total joke; there actually wasn't anything much wrong with what he did other than failing to ask the girl's parents for her hand in marriage before hand. What he and she did was fornicate which is an indiscretion in Israel but no where near perversion. What the law stated he should have done in that case is pay the girl's parents $50,000.00, for this is the bride price for virgins and then take her as his wife - if her father approves, and, in his case, he can never divorce her - even if she sleeps with other men. The women of Israel, who are Black and not white, know these rules and they are tricky customers. This is exactly why it's not good to sleep with virgins out of wedlock.

A Christian cannot and should not divorce his wife except for marital unfaithfulness, since, if she hasn't slept with another man, she obviously does love you still. People are so superficial and shallow these days they don't think anymore. Folk just don't think!

As long as you don't commit any sins, you preserve innocence and you will live forever down here! Such is the way of the gods; never, never, never sin, especially the Jews, and don't take advice from people who do, for it leads only to shame and disgrace in the best case and outright death in the worst!

Peace!

One Surefire Way of Making it to Heaven With Christ!

With all the different voices out there saying this and that about religion, even in the Churches of Christ, it must be very confusing to most people what salvation ultimately entails. As the actual Holy One of Israel, I can tell you what it entails and it is simply this: If you ever do come across any faithful friend in life, know for sure that such people are not cheap! Assuming you ever do find one, you had better cling to that bad boy for all you are worth, for, I say unto you truthfully, such a person is the only ticket you will ever have into the afterlife with J-sus, my son, and we are rare even among kinfolk sometimes!

Now, understand that having even one real friend down here will always cost you things; you have to be willing to sacrifice real and valuable resources if you want to have something so incredibly valuable as a friend; having a friend or even many of them, however, requires the willing sacrifice of even everything you have except your reputation. Anybody that requires you to do the latter isn't a real one of those. Note that the people that really rule this world will never require this of you; these are the folk to know!

Peace!

On the General Developement of Christian Theology over the Centuries and the Solution to the Problem of Christian Disunity.

If you are like most people, you probably don't know too much about the history of the developement of Christian thought. I postulate that only clergy know much about this subject. This article is meant to give only a cursory sketch of the general developement of Christian thought over the last two thousand years. There are only a very few names mentioned here and there have been many that have affected the developement of the Church over the centuries. If you want a thorough history of the development of Christian theology, I strongly recommend "The Story of Christian Theology: Twenty Centuries of Tradition & Reform," by Roger E. Olson; it is a very readable and enjoyable treatise on the subject. I will begin by defining exactly what theology is, then launch immediately into the history of the general developement of Christian theological thinking from the first century through to the present one. I will then give my take on the whole vast panorama of the business along with what I genuinely feel will be the solution to the problem of Christian disunity worldwide. These are not merely suggestions as I have been sent by the holy God to reunify the Christian world and return the nation of Israel to its holy ways; they are actually commands,for I am the true head of the Churches of Christ, being from heaven. Let's begin with a description of what theology is.

Theology, according to the New Standard Encycolpedia is the "study and interpretation of religious experience and the nature of God." It is commonly associated with the three major monotheistic religions - Christianity, Judaism and Islam. The aforementioned faiths tend to base their beliefs on a type of theology called "revealed" theology. A revealed theology has the characteristic that its beliefs are based on messages believed recieved by certain enlightened individuals called prophets who were chosen to be in contact with the Creator of the Universe, for whatever reason. This is in stark contrast to a "natural" theology which is based upon reasoning and observation of the world around us. The story of the developement of Christian theological thinking did not actually begin until about the begining of the second century A.D., and its basic purpose is to somehow understand and properly explain salvation - God's redemptive activity in forgiving and transforming sinful humans. The one thing you need to understand about Christian theology is that all questions debated by it and beliefs developed by it over the years was always for a reason - never for no reason. Irenaeus, a second century bishop of the Church, was the first to attempt a theology of Christianity; this he did in response to serious threats to the early Church by cultists, a movement called Gnosticism, and a very serious critic called Celsus.

Theology did not develop in the Christian Church until the second century because up until that time, the early apostles of Jesus were still alive and could be depended on to answer all questions of doctrine and belief. With the death of John in about A.D. 90, this changed. Christian theology arose during the second century for three basic reasons: out of conflict between the then fledgling Church and a cult lead by a man called Montanus; because of the threat to the true gospel of Jesus posed by Gnostics; and, as mentioned earlier, because of an extremely well educated and sophisticated Roman critic called Celsus who, of course, would have a great deal of influence over the Roman Emporer. The early Bishops' of the Church response to these threats were to formalize the teachings and beliefs of the Christian movement by writing letters, booklets and by collecting the apostles' writings and circulating these things among their various congregations; thus began the evolution of Christian thought that we today call theology.

By the third century there came a formalization of the hierarchy of the Church, the formulation of creeds and the establishment of a formal canon of Christian Scripture. The basic apostle's creed was established at the Council of Nicaea in 325, but was not finalized until 381 at constantinople. The doctrine that Jesus was truly God and truly human - consubtantial with both - was established at the Council of Chalcedon in 451.

By 1054, the Eastern and Western churches seperated from one another because they had, basically, begun to think too differently about many things than one another. The split between the two, however, was over the filioque clause which was added to the Nicaeo-Constantinopolitan Creed out of nowhere by the Western Pope. The Latins, whose thinking was more legalistic and monergistic, stood in stark contrast to that of the Eastern Europeans who were less formal and more synergistic in their beliefs. The theology of the West was based mainly upon Augustine, while that of the East was based upon Origen, an early North African who was probably Black.

By the eleventh century, scholasticism had taken hold in the Western half of the Church. Scholasticism was a movement that had its origins in the cathedral and monastic schools of the time. The basic quality of Scholastic theology is that it tried to show methodically and philosophically how Christian theology was inherently rational and consistent within the cultural context of Europe. After the advent of this movement, things slowed down in the development of Christian thought for a long time and life went stagnant. By the beginning of the sixteenth century, however, a big shakeup occured.

In 1517, Martin Luther, an Augustinian Monk and professor of theology at the University of Wittenberg in Germany, posted his 95 theses on the door of the cathedral church there, thus initiating the series of events that would come to be known as the Protestant Reformation. The 95 theses were critiques of the then current practices of the Roman Catholic Church, among them: simony, indulgences, nepotism, and a host of other things. There is no question there were serious problems in the Roman Church as there still are today, but Luther did not expect to divide Christiandom so decisively. Early on there developed four principal forms of Protestantism - Lutheran, Reformed, Anabaptist and Anglican - but all have as there basis three principal beliefs that are in contrast to that of the Roman Church. These three beliefs are: sola gratia et fides, sola scriptura, and the priesthood of all believers.

Protestants have found themselves in disagreement over relatively minor aspects of faith, but principally it is the idea of Jesus' presence in the Lord's Supper that is the main source of disunity here. Shortly after the fan de siecle, in 1901, the publication of two notable books - "What is Christianity," and "Reconstruction in Theology," - heralded in the age of Liberal Protestant Theology. By 1950 there was a slight reconciliation between the various branches of Protestantism, but not much of one. With this, we come to things as we have them today.

Now, this is the thing you have to understand about theology, whether you are a Christian, a Jew, or a Muslim: You have to be God Himself to get it right. If you are not, it is best to keep silent about such business! Where, then, does this leave us? What on earth are we to do about the business of the massive separations that exist between the Churches of Christ down here? What are we to do? Simply this: Obey, Obey, Obey! Just know that it is not wise to allow sin and that this is mostly about what's in the Old Testament of the Bible and not just what's in the Gospels. Indeed, holiness, whatever it is and its requirements and salvation, whatever it is and its requirements are the same yesterday, today and tommorrow, and whatever the Gospel message is, it is not "cease being a good Jew!", rather it must be "be a better, even perfect, one!" We the kings of Israel know this for sure, and it's why Jesus spoke in parables. Christianity is the light in Jewish faith for one reason and one reason only: It takes away sin. If you do sin, you are not a Christian, but, as has been noted here, to be a Christian is to be the best of the Jews of ancient times! Follow Saint Peter!

Saint Thomas the Divine on the real point in Christian Faith.

What is love anyway? Do you believe in it and what is its value?

Many people search for love, but never find it because they don't know what it is or don't believe it exists anywhere. This is the reason Christ and His Church exists, so that people may find it.

The thing about love that most do not understand, however, and especially in the Christian Church is that it is a sublimely Jewish thing. Love is Jewish, which is why we that are real Christians are Jews, but perfect Jews like Elijah the Tishbite was. Ever read the gospels? I am holier than Moses, for Moses failed slightly. Jesus' denigration was not of the Law which Moses sent; that was perfect; His complaint rather was against the teachers of it, for they were not. It was Moses that wasn't perfect, not the Law. I, however, am Christian; I never fail! You can get love from one of us, for love is the point of Israel and the Jewish people. Many Christians do not understand what Jesus actually came to do on earth or the point in His gospel, for He spoke in parables. His point was simply this: Be a better Jew please and love the Law, don't just practice it. Love the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow. Just look at the nation He was born in the midst of. The Church is basically too European.

As to the question of why love is important, the answer is that they that do love cannot die - nothing can kill a lover. If the world knew this, there would be peace everywhere. Everything can kill haters which is why life always eventually does and in one way or another. So do not fear them.

Love, it turns out, is a spirit, but beyond this it is simply a decision. Make the decision and you will see all things! Just remember that God does not change, therefore holiness and its requirements, whatever they are, and love for God, whatever it is, is the same yesterday, today and tommorrow, so lets all be better Jews - let's all be Christians.

Christians are angels or gods, for Jesus is the King of angels. What you need to understand about the real ones like me though is that we do not play in Israel; we love that Law and we will enforce it as any real Christian would, for holiness is the Law as well as the gospel. You can either run with me and live or fight me and die!

If you are any kind of leader in this world, learn to defend the Law, not Israel or the Jews, for a man or woman must be sanctified to be justified; this holds true for the Christian as well of course. This is the difference between sanctimony and faith. For this reason, if you have any money it's best to give that to me. Fear God, not kings! God is Jesus; learn to love Him only. Would a god or goddess defend Jewish law? The elect cannot be fooled, so watch yourselves. You must defend the Law better than the Jews if you want to enter life. The imperative of love is and was to save people's souls, not just their lives, and to do this you must dress those souls in the Law, not just the gospels or you will fail at this. Honor thy father and thy mother, love the alien, the fatherless, and the widow, and keep all the rest of the Law. This, after all, is the ever lasting gospel of Jesus Christ!

Saint Thomas the Divine on the Difference between Sensitivity and Insensitivity.

What is sensitivity? And why is it important?

The answer to the second Question above is found in the answer to the first. Sensitivity, contrary to what many believe it is today, and especially in the United States, is the vehemently passionate defense of holiness. The opposite of this is insensitivity - the weak-kneed, namby-pamby response to sin we see in today's world, and especially in Israel. A genuinely sensitive man or woman would have to kill half the people alive today for the mess they engage in - homosexuality, Sabbath breaking, beasteality, cursing parents, etc., etc. Sensitivity is important because it leads to peace on earth; nothing short of it will ever bring it about!

What's needed in the world today are genuinely smart people, for sensitivity is directly proportional to I.Q. and vice-versa. It is men and women that are sensitive; spoiled rotten, snot-nosed, little boys and girls are not. Also, you will find that it is only the mighty, the enormously tough that actually are it, for sensitivity and might are not seperable, the truth be known. It is weaklings that are insensitive.

Be holy, O Israel, for I thy God am holy. Do you understand? Stand up for what's right, and not for what's wrong; defend holiness with every weapon at your disposal. This is sensitivity! Do this and I will not abhor you.

Saint Thomas the Divine on How to find God and the Truth.

It puzzles me why anybody would be an atheist, although I am a Christian who has had nothing but a hard way to go all my life. After years and years of spiritual and emotional pain and abuse, even my own death, I can honestly say that I love God and His son, Jesus, more than ever myself. I just don't know why folk don't believe in God; to me it's positively absurd that anyone would not believe in Him. In case you don't know, God is as real as you or I.

As a solution to the general problem of unbelief, I will submit to you that the search for the truth begins absolutely, positively with the telling of it. If you made a religion out of simply never telling even the smallest lie, not even to save your life, not even when you do get into any other kind of trouble, you will find God. Never, never, never lie to anyone about anything. Only after you get this way, will anyone's so called holy books be revealed for what they are.

Why does the above work? Because people who never lie are holy men and women or prophets, and these are the only people our Father in heaven confides in. All a prophet is is a man that tells the truth. Not that I haven't lied myself, but very seldom on my own behalf and never really intentionally. Over the course of my lifetime, I have had close to two hundred friends and acquaitances, perhaps three or four of whom I have ever fibbed to, and at this inadvertently, and I am from one of the most dreadfully sinful places on earth.

The thing that made me particularly special to Jesus is the fact that I would never lie to my wife, for she is the most divinely beautiful and holy creature on earth and I am no fool. The reason I do not lie is that, to me, it's not what a real man or woman is all about. This is the one thing the name Tom Adams will always stand for: the truth, the straight scoop, the real deal and never anything else. I have been off the mark several times, but generally, no. In fact, there isn't one I have ever told that was intentional.

Purify yourselves, then read the holy books, especially the Bible and you will see the truth for a change. Non obstante all the rules and regulations found in some of them, remember that any soi-disant holy book that doesn't at least leave you an honest person is a fake. All religion was all about was this; it's the sum total of all spirituality.

Another thing I must point out is that I feel some people are atheists because they don't get the answers to prayer they want when they want them. Consider, however, that wouldn't you have to be God Himself to have things that way given that there are thousands, even millions of people asking for exactly the same thing, sometimes the world itself? Why should any man forsake belief in the living God just because he couldn't get exactly what he or she wanted in the time they specified instead of the time God specifies like some spoiled rotten kid. The fact of the matter is God always answers prayer, and most within a milisecond; it's simply that the answer to half the things folk ask for is "no." Why? The reasons can be myriad but among them is the fact that, in this world, there are some people that are more important than you. Don't want what you can't have. Stay in your place in other words. Just know that whatever response you recieve to your prayer, God positively adores you and has given you the answer that is in your own best interest as well as the world's; this is real faith! This last point is very personal and it should be to you too. Do you have the faith to accept God's answer and move on to the next prayer and to the next and on to what you must do next in life. Never loose faith in the living God again! But what, you may ask matters in life if all my prayers don't? Answer: The Law. The law is what matters!

Please remember that it's better to be poor than a liar, and that it's better to die an honest man or woman than to live on in this world a dishonest one, for the grave cannot hold the honest. These were my basic standards by the time I was six years old.

Behold, and they shall call Him wonderful councilor, mighty god, everlasting father, and prince or peace!

Saint Thomas the Divine on Slavery and Human Rights.

It positively baffles me that anyone could think that slavery was wrong or immoral; it is, after all, an institution straight out of the Bible. Slavery is not wrong or immoral. What is wrong, immoral and detrimental to certain people's salvation is racism. Note the difference. Fight the one, not the other if you want to establish peace on earth.

Understand that the Kingdom of God is the Kingdom of the Bible - the Kingdom of Israel and of the Jews. Now, the Kingdom of Israel consists of six basic elements: priests, prophets, the king, slaves, the poor, and everybody else. It was the gentry that owned most of the slaves in ancient times, but even a poor man could have a servant in that system. Note here that there were slaves and the poor and that it was the slave that wasn't a freeman. It was actually the slave that was better off than many of his neighbors, especially if he or she was the property of a good master.

The reasons slavery had to come to an end in the United States are several. For one thing, the slavery of the Bible was fundamentally different from that promulgated by the U.S., Great Britain and the other nations of Europe; in Israel, it was a voluntary system for certain Hebrews who could only be indentured for a period of seven years at a time after which they had to be liberally supplied with goods upon release from servitude; also, while Jews could buy slaves, they couldn't actually make them themselves. Those usually are people who can't pay some debt somewhere so are sold to compensate for the loss. The European system was evil because it did both at the same time and for profit, and so, had to come to an end. Also, it was the custom among most Jewish masters to let the most excellent of them go free after they had served very well. In America this happened very little, especially in places like Louisianna and other locals in the deep south where the conditions were often quite cruel. Another thing about the Bible's brand of slavery is that slaves had certain rights including not having their teeth or eyes knocked out without being set free and not being killed as well as the right not to be turned over to their masters if they ran away. For all these reasons, the American brand of slavery was ended by the angels of God. Also, the only reason anybodyt could ever become a slave was because the had a debt they couldn't repay. This is the only justification for anybody's enslavement ever. Bondage on the basis of race or ethnicity alone is craziness!

If you are a Christian or a Jew, you cannot be made a slave; for you it's a strictly voluntary deal and at this for no more than seven years at a time after which you have to be adequately compensated, unless you decide you want to be a permanent one in which case your master has to push an awl through your ear at the doorpost of his house; also, you cannot be ruled over ruthlessly by anyone if you are a Christian or Hebrew slave. Both of you may buy slaves from the surrounding nations but you may not make them yourselves.

Beware of racism, for it tries to hide all the facts and blinds men to the truth about certain people, especially Black Christian kings, who are the true owners of all the wealth down here. The interest on the debt owed on a whole planet can be a mother, you know, and if you can't pay it, you'll be the slave.

Saint Thomas the Divine on How to Find True Love.

A lot of people in America these days, especially Christians, are dismayed by the tremendous rate of divorce. How does one find true love, anyway; how do you test for it?

If you want to find someone that loves for real, simply look for the perfect - people that revere Jesus; this is all. The damndest thing about the world though is that you literally have to begin your search for the real thing at the crazy house because you're completely screwed up if you're not totally insane by the age of forty given the way things are in it; you have to go to a mad house to find even one man or woman that was simply going to read the Bible and do everything it says, and if you weren't a total flop by twenty, you didn't matter - to God or anyone else! This is because of sin, especially original sin.


Why is any of the above true? It's because men and women that are most like God are sensitive people; God, after all, is sensitive if He's anything at all, and these are the ones that love! Sensitive is perfect and that will always fail under the right conditions. Nobody fails with love, anybody does without it - even God. This is for the sake of the world which is filled with mere human beings who are not going to succeed in life without it. We the gods need a way to make love - the most profoundly important thing in life - matter. Yes, boys and girls, love matters! The only caveat here is to beware of losers. You see, it's not that someone fails a little or even a whole lot in life, and at this in every way imaginable, but that they are a loser. Avoid those and you'll find the only thing in life that can ever make you successful - love!Remember here that love and sex are not the same thing; sex is pleasure, love, on the other hand, is friendship, and the only reason people never find true love or if they do at all they can't seem to keep it around for very long is that they just are not about this. Once you know what love really is, though, you've got at least a fighting chance of finding the real thing.

Remember not to call yourself or anyone else a Christian unless you or they are absolutely, positively divine. We Christians are perfect people; if you are not, don't call yourself one of us; it's an insult to every truly great man or woman that ever did or ever will walk the earth and Jesus, our king!

Also remember, dear ones, that it is not what you get but what you give that will mark you as anything special at all in this world, for, in the end, the love you take in life will only be equal to the love you make in it. This is especially important if you want to be a star of any kind.

The bottom line, though, is to simply ask even a total stranger whether they love you. Such a question is basic in this Kingdom. Just remember that love is not sex. No one is under any obligation to have that with anyone but an actual spouse so if you want to, get married if you are a virgin and never before because the devil is out here too.

Don't forget these things!

Saint Thomas the Divine on Winners and Losers.

Everybody would probably like to know what it takes to be a winner in life; folk have no time for nonsense, after all. What exactly is a winner anyway? There are as many points of view on this as there are people on earth it seems what with all the different religions and standards.

Well, to answer this question, all you have to do is look at what the opposite of a winner is. Believe me, as an angel of the living God, I am fully qualified to teach you about the differences between the two.

A loser is anybody that does not expect life to be perfect; winners - the opposite of losers - know that it is; this is all. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, know for sure that the life we live is perfect because God created life; how then could it not be perfect. Life, to the contrary of what many believe, is absolutely this; it's the people in it that aren't most of the time which is why you have to be careful about who you listen to. Understand that every winner merely wants you to be perfect, they don't expect you to be! While winners don't expect you to be perfect, we do, however, expect that you will try to be. A loser, on the other hand, expects you to be absolutely perfect even when your life is a living hell - even without the one thing you truly need to sail through life which is love. Know for sure that God is no loser. This is why he sent His only son to die for us.

A lot of people don't like how I try to get everyone down here to be perfect and why I try to be myself. Some folk don't like perfect, you know what I mean? Well, the reason I try to get everybody to be perfect is because I love people. I want to see everyone on the face of the earth to shine like the stars in the sky - like Mariah Carey or Keyshia Cole or P. Diddy or Frank Sinatra or any of a number of other superstars - like my blessed Lord and Savior, Jesus of Nazareth. Only perfect after all is Christian, only perfect is Jewish, only perfect goes to heaven, only perfect is god or goddess, only perfect lives for ever and ever, only perfect is infallible, only perfect loves God or you or me, only perfect is a real man or woman, only perfect can, does or ever will rule here on earth!

Anyway, know that life is perfect because it springs from the soul of Jesus; in fact it is the one thing you can depend on. Now you have the key to achieve total success in life which is the achievement of your dreams, and not just what you need! You can depend on life, for it is a mighty, holy, enduring thing; it's folk you can't always depend on. The secret thing is that life is Jesus; this is how we who understand know exactly who God was, is and ever shall be; therefore, hear O Israel, the Lord, the Lord thy God is one; love Him with all thy heart, all the mind, all thy soul and all thy strength, and thy neighbor as thyself!

One thing you need to understand here is that, non obstante religion, the basic thing that makes losers losers is that they never read, especially the Bible. If you want to be a winner, you must read for as many hours throughout your day, seven days a week, as you can. On the Sabbath, however, you may only do leisure reading, for it is the one kind of reading you can do any day. Read everything - books, magazines, whole dictionaries, whole encyclopedias, your mail, liner notes- everything you can get your blessed hands on and then read the local paper. Do this every day, and I guarantee you will be very, very successful in life!

Please remember, dear ones, that despite the gross contradictions, massive anomalies, and real or apparent hypocrisy present in the Churches of Christ (Roman, Eastern, Protestant, et. al.) and in the world, God is real; therefore, have faith in God, be obedient to God, give generously and unceasingly, pray for what you want and go for what you know! Winners have faith in God, so remember to have this. L'chiam. Anyway, life's winner is simply the Christian on the planet because He's the owner of it and I mean every last bit of it.
