News: Pre-zion Standards For Holiness And Godliness

I wasn't able to access the entire text, only the preamble and the Index, however, I see some major issues with the index's conclusions. These are clearly compilations from someone who is extremely well studied, but has not come to a knowledge of the truth through personal revelation. If they have, it is not contained in what I read. (I think the author would agree with me on this.) I think they would love to gaze into heaven for 5 minutes rather than read everything written on the subject. For example, God owning all land. How then can any land "be given as an inheritance" such as was given to Abraham and others when they received their promise? Or those who will "inherit the earth". It is possible that the writer is looking at a pre-celestial society but not a celestial one. Or as appears in the preamble, they are looking at all the scriptures written which talk about different phases of stages of progression and mixing them into 1 stage ad saying here it is. The scriptures will refer to multiple stages or levels, Milestones in progression. This author has taken all the milestones and lumped them into one confused mass. IMO Their are others that I understand where he he getting his ideas, but IMO are lacking some fundamental personal revelation. Very good quotes, but no personal revelation. Spoken with the authority of a scribe and not the authority of God. Another part is "We Believe in Living and Keeping All of the Laws". The laws are a school master that bring us to Christ and to the promise as taught in Gal. 3. Once we are brought back to the promise, the laws become fulfilled in us, just as they were in Christ and are no longer needed. Just as Abraham, Isaac and Jacob did not have the laws given by Moses to the children of Israel, (In God's wrath), which is written on stone, so too those who are celestial do not have laws written on stone, but instead they have the law written in their hearts. Not in being governed by laws enforced by others, but by being governed by our own hearts having no desire to do evil and so needing no law to prevent us from doing evil. The government in the celestial kingdom is each person governing themselves. As Gods, each person judging ourselves. I would like to see a list of the laws this person expects we will live and keep. If they can be written, they are not laws of the celestial kingdom. [See Similar Topics]
