PART FIVE
We are seeing that the Fall of Mankind set on motion
a very different series of effects than those of which the Reformers
came to be the Defenders, and the Confessors the Prophets of
the Religion of Reason which they brought forth in these Articles.
God had the Power to pardon Man, and to remove from his side
the one who sought
his death. He didn’t. He could not do it; the entire System
of His Creation had been pushed to the edge. Nothing could be
the same as before. Everything has to be submitted to a complete
Renovation. God gave Life to Immortality, now He had to Immune
Life from Death. Hard as it was to Him, Father of Mankind, to
see His creature tortured to the death during the next millennia,
He could not expose the Future of the entire Creation to its
Fall in the name of the Present pain. Death had found the way
to the Earth, and Death had to do its work, for everybody to
see that no matter the efforts against it, a World founded and
built upon the Laws of the Tree of War it is doomed to its total
self-destruction. And that this Truth it is the Source of the
Law.
When the Son came down from His World to ours His
thoughts were much concerned on the Future of His own work.
How could it be other way? And how could He fail to see the
outlines of the Future to come?
About the Answer to the Question brought forth by
the Rebels, when they set their eyes in bringing the Son on
their side, that way forcing God to abrogate the Law on War,
and blessing War as the game of the gods, their Temptation failed
completely. The Cross was the way to the Victory of Life on
Death. Father and Son they have One same Spirit, One same Will,
One same Love, of same Kingdom, One same Law. God’s Wisdom is
the Source of the Future of the Creation. The King of kings
and Lord of the lords of God’s Empire had to die, for the Universal
: King, Lord, Judge and High Pontiff, to sit on the Throne of
God. Everything : Political Power, Justice, Military, Religion,
God had put everything in Jesus Christ’s hands. How would He
not see the trouble His Church had to go through the next two
millennia? Once God took the decision of setting Free the Devil
about the beginning of the second millennium the series
of events to foretell, was clear. Once freed the Devil would
take as primary work to divide the churches. Being the churches
the Members of the Body of Christ, and Christ is Jesus, the
movements of the Lord in His Kingdom would receive a terrible
blow, to follow His falling on the ground, a dead man, though
alive, watching the sacking of his house by his enemy. The Decree
against the Devil had been sealed, but the Devil would take
with him to Hell as many Nations of Mankind as possible. To
destroy Mankind in a Suicidal Global World War was the Devil’s
target. He only could conquer this goal by dividing the
churches; as a madmen is locked in a cell, so the Division of
the churches would force Christ Jesus into the straitjacket
of a madman.
The Reformation was the direct attack of the forces
of the Devil against the Body of Christ, to fit Him in the straitjacket
from which He would see His work reduced to ashes, and with
it the entire human world.
However, Christ is the New Name of Jesus; Jesus is
the Son of God, God is indestructible and invincible. What else?
Let’s go back to the poor blind men who, in the belief
that they were playing the part of a New Christ, entering in
the Old Temple to cast out of it the Old Priesthood, served
the Devil in sieging Christ Jesus in order to lock Him up in
the straitjacket of the Division of the churches. Notwithstanding
let’s remember words of wisdom, in especial those which says
that the salvation of a single soul washes out the many sins
of the man who made it possible: because if the Mercy of God
rewards so highly the salvation of one single soul, how much
higher He would raise the punishment on those who with their
works lead entire nations out and away of His Kingdom and Law!
If the lambs turn into wolves, and on them the wrath of the
Lord, those shepherds who turn their back on the Devil and left
the Devil moving at pleasure among the Flock, what they deserve?
Hard is to be sit on the throne of the Bishops of Rome, from
which so many nations were set apart in the name of Power and
Gold!
Now:
11
The Deity of the Holy Spirit
We believe and confess also that the Holy Spirit proceeds
eternally from the Father and the Son--neither made, nor created,
nor begotten, but only proceeding from the two of them. In regard
to order, he is the third person of the Trinity--of one and
the same essence, and majesty, and glory, with the Father and
the Son. He is true and eternal God, as the Holy Scriptures
teach us.
One more time, we rock the wall! They take the Spanish
Creed, word by word, and make them theirs. Why? It is understandable.
In the day of the King of Eden the Devil put the dress
of an angel coming from the Lord to announce him a glory day,
the day of the coming of man into the brotherhood of the gods
of war. In this
case the Reformers, as Confessors, put on the dress of the Spanish
Orthodoxy, which has been leading the Catholic Theology ever
since they corrected the Greek Orthodox Creed with this New
Extension of the Nicaean Creed.
The wolves had to be seen as lambs. And to hide, at
the image of the “hidden god” to which likeness they were made,
their absolute lack of originality, their absolute incapability
to bring a single word of their own, they set apart the Article
from its original Source, to make it coming out of the Scripture.
Any man who feels for himself just a little respect
and value his freedom of thought and analytical powers, any
man can see that the Spanish Confession, to which this Article
refers when saying “We
believe and confess also”, was made many centuries after
the Foundations of Christianity were laid. Any man sees that
the Spanish Confession was the Christian answer to the theological
creed by the Byzantine Greeks brought forth; and any man sees
why: this Spanish Confession is the natural result of the Nicaean
Creed, from which the Byzantines began to walk away. Ergo, as
much as the Nicaean Creed is the Operation of God’s Spirit on
the Servants, in the same way the Spanish Confession was the
work of the Lord on His servants. Then, they confess to be absolute
Catholics, with a difference, they came to destroy the Catholic
Church. Let’s try to find out why.
12
The Creation
of All Things
We believe that the Father created heaven and earth
and all other creatures from nothing, when it seemed good to
him, by his Word--that is to say, by his Son. He has given all
creatures their being, form, and appearance, and their various
functions for serving their Creator. Even now he also sustains
and governs them all, according to his eternal providence, and
by his infinite power, that they may serve man, in order that
man may serve God. He has also created the angels good, that
they might be his messengers and serve his elect. Some of them
have fallen from the excellence in which God created them into
eternal perdition; and the others have persisted and remained
in their original state, by the grace of God. The devils and
evil spirits are so corrupt that they are enemies of God and
of everything good. They lie in wait for the church and every
member of it like thieves, with all their power, to destroy
and spoil everything by their deceptions. So then, by their
own wickedness they are condemned to everlasting damnation,
daily awaiting their torments. For that reason we detest the
error of the Sadducees, who deny that there are spirits and
angels, and also the error of the Manicheans, who say that the
devils originated by themselves, being evil by nature, without
having been corrupted.
Here we find, again and again, the same surreptitious
way the ignorant had to hide their ignorance. When Saint John
said that the Word was made Flesh, He was speaking of the One
who said : “Let there be light”, and so on and so forth. The
Scripture no saying who was the Person speaking, and the Wisdom
which came down on the Apostles being subjected to Silence,
Saint John laid down in the form of Dogma the Identity of the
Person who Created the Heavens, He who said “let there be stars”,
and the Earth, when He said “let there be light”.
Even so, the Confessors, in the pride of the “New
Christ” born to enter in the “Old Temple” to raze to the ground
the Catholic Church, they committed the most foolish of the
presumptive omniscience when they said that it was the Father
who created the heavens and the earth, this way denying the
New Testament and the Holy Spirit who said, in John, that the
Word was God, and this God was the Son. This on one hand.
On the
other hand they dress their foulness, let it be called so in
the name of mercy, with golden dust when saying that “God
created all the other creatures from nothing”. God said
it with all the words “Dust you are, and to the Dust you are
to come back”. The Dust is our beginning and the dust was to
be our end. Notwithstanding the Confessors follow the intelligence
of the time. Incapables to make any advancement on the Knowledge
of the Divinity and the Creation they simply master the knowledge
of the Church of their day, for good and bad, and made themselves
the New Defenders, the new Bearers, the New Superheroes, born
to Protect and Defend the True and Pure Doctrine of Christ.
Hey man, halleluiah!
On the subject of the Grace of God and the Freedom
of Will the Confessors follow their own advice, rejecting the
Theology of the Scriptures, which gives Freedom of Choice from
the very beginning to all the sons of God. The sons of God who
formed the Axis of the Snake, Satan its head, did it so because
they chose it to do so. And so the sons of God who rejected
to be on their Axis did it by Free Will.
God is Freedom. God’s Freedom is communicated in His
Image to His Creation through the Spirit of Intelligence, without
which cannot be Freedom of Choice. The sons of God who put their
crown at the feet of the Throne of God, they did it so because
that was their Choice. Once the War was declared they were free
to choose side. They didn’t do that, to side with their brothers
on War, because a especial Grace by which they were converted
in automats, animals without Power of Judgment? Not at all,
they did so because God’s Freedom.
God’s Freedom was their Freedom, and they would never,
not before, not then, not ever, side with anything, of anyone
but God’s Freedom.
Grace is given to the dammed in prison, waiting for
the sentence of death to be executed. This is God Grace in Christ.
There is no Grace to be received where there is no Death penalty
to be executed. Grace is given to open the doors of freedom,
but those who had never been in jail, they had never departed
from Freedom; ergo they need no Grace.
On the subject of the eternal damnation of the Devil,
what? They came to teach to Christ what to believe and what
to reject?
But the most funny part in this Article is the condemnation,
One Thousand and Five Hundred years after, of the Sadducees
and the Manicheans. And anyway, when speaking of the old saying
of the Manicheans “who
say that the devils originated by themselves, being evil by
nature, without having been corrupted”, why rob us the pleasure
to hear them say some word on the source of that corruption
by which some sons of God preferred Hell to Heaven? I guess
it was more easy to say that some receive the Grace and some
are left to die. He who’s got the power got the Freedom, right?
Let’s hear then speak about Freedom.
13
The Doctrine of God’s Providence
We believe that this good God, after he created all
things, did not abandon them to chance or fortune but leads
and governs them according to his holy will, in such a way that
nothing happens in this world without his orderly arrangement.
Yet God is not the author of, nor can he be charged with, the
sin that occurs. For his power and goodness are so great and
incomprehensible that he arranges and does his work very well
and justly even when the devils and wicked men act unjustly.
We do not wish to inquire with undue curiosity into what he
does that surpasses human understanding and is beyond our ability
to comprehend. But in all humility and reverence we adore the
just judgments of God, which are hidden from us, being content
to be Christ’s disciples, so as to learn only what he shows
us in his Word, without going beyond those limits. This doctrine
gives us unspeakable comfort since it teaches us that nothing
can happen to us by chance but only by the arrangement of our
gracious heavenly Father. He watches over us with fatherly care,
keeping all creatures under his control, so that not one of
the hairs on our heads (for they are all numbered) nor even
a little bird can fall to the ground without the will of our
Father. In this thought we rest, knowing that he holds in check
the devils and all our enemies, who cannot hurt us without his
permission and will.
For that reason we reject the damnable error of the
Epicureans, who say that God involves himself in nothing and
leaves everything to chance.
This is to say, they don’t care about the War between
Christ and the Devil, Hell and Heaven, going on; they don’t
care about the Devil’s work; they don’t care about the destiny
of men. Everyone is in the hand of God; it is not man’s duty
to leak nobody’s wound. They have been saved, they are saved,
and to hell whomever got to go to hell. They can’t understand
nothing of what’s going on, they only know that Christ came
to announce God’s Grace to those who
believe in God, and that the Catholic Church who had
been announcing that God’s Grace, in the Name of Jesus Christ,
to all men, She had already grown old and corrupt, and She had
to go to hell too. They knew more, they had to help Her to go
to Hell. The War of Religion, set the world on fire, in order
to Announce God’s Grace to the World, which had been hidden
from the nations ever since the Bishop of Rome became Pope,
Religious War was, absolutely, the Duty of the New Christian
Man. And if pushed too much, even World War was a Holy Work.
Hey man,
Halleluiah! because “the
devils and all our enemies cannot hurt us without his permission
and will”. Yeah, God had the Permission and Will of God
to kill Adam. Surely they were the new Christians, at the service
of that Devil who brought forth in his own defense this argument
before the Curt of the sons of God : “He is Omniscience, he
knows everything, if
He did not want me to kill him, why He didn’t stop me?”
But as the Confessors say a short way above : “We
do not wish to inquire with undue curiosity into what he does
that surpasses human understanding and is beyond our ability
to comprehend”. However, created at the Image of God, God
being Intelligence, as the Creations of Heavens and Earth and
everything show us, our Soul tends to Intelligence at the Image
of God’s, which means that we tend to understand and comprehend
everything. How then, rejecting the Image of God in Man, which
is the Fruit of the Grace, can a man call himself a Christian?
The Confessors wanted the Grace, but not the Fruit of it. And
for this reason they confess : “But
in all humility and reverence we adore the just judgments of
God, which are hidden from us, being content to be Christ’s
disciples, so as to learn only what he shows us in his Word,
without going beyond those limits”. Notwithstanding the
teaching of Christ leads again and again to go beyond those
limits into which by the Fall was Mankind locked up. “Ask and
you will be given “. “If you need, wisdom, ask for it and you
will receive it”. And so on and so forth. Of course, we understand,
the Belgian Confessors and their reformer mates in body and
soul given to get rich, there could be no better advice than
to stay into those limits, and once by Grace having being Free,
do accordingly their desires, because after all nothing happen
without the permission and will of God.
Let’s go now to the Confession of the Creation and
Fall of Man. Here the Devil could not restraint its argument
to displace Christ’s Wisdom, and opened his mouth to say :
14
The Creation
and Fall of Man
We believe that God created man from the dust of the
earth and made and formed him in his image and likeness--good,
just, and holy; able by his own will to conform in all things
to the will of God. But when he was in honor he did not understand
it and did not recognize his excellence. But he subjected himself willingly to sin and consequently to
death and the curse, lending his ear to the word of the devil.
For he transgressed the commandment of life, which he had received,
and by his sin he separated himself from God, who was his true
life, having corrupted his entire nature. So he made himself
guilty and subject to physical and spiritual death, having become
wicked, perverse, and corrupt in all his ways. He lost all his
excellent gifts which he had received from God, and he retained
none of them except for small traces which are enough to make
him inexcusable. Moreover, all the light in us is turned to
darkness, as the Scripture teaches us: “The light shone in the
darkness, and the darkness did not receive it”. Here John calls
men “darkness”. Therefore we reject everything taught to the
contrary concerning man’s free will, since man is nothing but
the slave of sin and cannot do a thing unless it is “given him
from heaven”. For who can boast of being able to do anything
good by himself, since Christ says, “No one can come to me unless
my Father who sent me draws him?” Who can glory in his own will
when he understands that “the mind of the flesh is enmity against
God?” Who can speak of his own knowledge in view of the fact
that “the natural man does not understand the things of the
Spirit of God?” In short, who can produce a single thought,
since he knows that we are “not able to think a thing” about
ourselves, by ourselves, but that “our ability is from God?
And therefore, what the apostle says ought rightly to stand
fixed and firm: “God works within us both to will and to do
according to his good pleasure”. For there is no understanding
nor will conforming to God’s understanding and will apart from
Christ’s involvement, as he teaches us when he says, “Without
me you can do nothing”.
Of course the Devil had to hide its argument in the
core of a mountain of words of Jesus Christ, its enemy; which
other but God’s Lamb’s skin could do better work in hiding the
skin of the wolf? The keystone of the building of this article
resides in this paragraph : “But
he subjected himself willingly
to sin and consequently to death and the curse, lending his
ear to the word of the devil”. This willingly
is the masterpiece of the Devil. And it is because if the
Man willingly gave himself to sin, and willingly
left himself be corrupted by the Devil, the entire fabric of
the Redemption is a fake.
The Redemption is based in One Keystone : Ignorance
of the Science of God and Evil, Ignorance of War. It is in this
Ignorance that the entire Old Temple was based. All the sacrifices
for the sins of Israel were based in Ignorance.
Man knew
nothing about Treason, about Corruption, about Passion for War,
Power, about the Wars of the Sons of God, this is to say about
the History of the Things of Heaven. The Creed of Adam was the
Creed of John. God is in His Word; the Word of God is Law, The
Word is God. And this Creed he assumed to be the Creed of the
entire House of the sons of God. As the Creator, the creature
has his word as good as law. Man’s word was man’s soul. Man
was in his word. The Word was Man. And so with the sons of God.
This Creed was Man’s Glory. And his Achilles’ heel too. To kill
someone who had in the Word the essence of his Being, his killer
had only to put on the dress of an angel coming down from God.
“Eat and you will be like us, a god”
This Ignorance on the Science of Good and Evil, whose
Fruit, War, he has never tasted, as the records of the Past,
Before Crist Five Thousand Years, says, showing us no Arsenal
of War in no city, this Ignorance was the Argument by God taken
as Door to Redemption and Road to His Grace.
But the Confessors, and the Reformers are backing
up this Article and Creed, are saying that the King of Eden
went on the side of the Devil in fullness of Knowledge and fully
conscientious of what he was doing. The Confessor and the Reformers
are accusing God and Christ of being Impostors and Deceivers;
the Confessors and the Reformers are making of the Scripture
the Book of a Monster, called God, who delights today in stabbing,
and tomorrow in heeling. How, being so versed in the Scriptures,
which they quoted with the acuteness of those birds repeating
words without understanding of their meaning, could they run
over the keystone of the Old temple : The Sacrifice, figure
of the Sacrifice of Christ?
If Mankind transgressed the Law on War of God in the
fullness of the knowledge on the consequences, Redemption could
had been never promised. According to the Law, “Eat and you
die”, had Man and the Devil walked into the Path of War hand
by hand, Man and the Devil would had been sent to Hell both,
no mercy no exception, no Grace for none. There was Grace, and
with Grace, Freedom, because there was Ignorance on the Nature
of the Works of the Devil.
Now, once the Devil has carved its argument into the
Creed of the Belgic Confession, it is the time to put on the
skin of the Lamb and steal from the Church they have sworn to
set on fire, words of wisdom.
