- BECAUSE EVERY ONE OF THESE DOCTRINES FOCUS ON AN
ALL ENCOMPASSING UNITY WHICH INCLUDES HEAVEN AND EARTH.
Taken from a letter to a Mormon from Cephas Ministry.
First let us define the word evolution. Webster's New Collegiate
Dictionary (1976) : a) A process of change in a certain direction:
unfolding. b) the action or an instance of forming and giving
something off, emission c) a process of continuous change from
a lower, simpler, or worse to a higher, more complex, or better
state; growth.
According to Mormon Doctrine by Bruce R. McConkie, p. 251 "Life
did not originate on this earth as the Bible teaches in Genesis.
It was translated from other and older spheres. Men are the literal
spirit children, spirit offspring, of the Eternal Father; they
were born to him as his spirit progeny, as spirit entities having
bodies made of a more pure and refined substance than that comprising
these mortal tabernacles." (Spirits do not have bodies before
they get to earth. According to Mormonism spirits come to earth
to inhabit bodies so they can become a god in their own right.)
"Furthermore, every form of life had a spirit existence
in that eternal world before it came to dwell naturally upon
the face of the earth. Animals, plants, fowls, fishes, all forms
of life existed as spirit entities in pre-existence: their number,
extent, variety, and form were known with exactitude before ever
the foundations of this earth were laid. There all destined to
live in their time and season upon this particular globe."
(Moses 3:1-9; D&C 77:1-2)
This teaching parallels the Hermetic occult teachings with
one difference.: the original spirit is an intellectual emanation
of a mind which begins its cycle of necessity by emanating through
mineral life, plant life, animal life and human life. It is called
"soul" that gathers its information necessary to function
as a human through these various stages from amoeba (one cell)
to humans. That is what Darwin's theory of evolution is based
on.
Next let's go to Morals and Dogma written by Albert Pike for
Masons.(Published 1964) page 760: "As man [the unit of Humanity]
is a microcosm.., containing all the Causates of the First Cause..
as the Material Man is the end and completion of all creation,
so in the Divine Man is the beginning thereof… As the inferior
man ascends from the lowest matter even to the First Cause, so
the Superior Adam descends from Simple and Infinite Act, even
to the lowest and most attenuated Potence. The ternary is the
bringing back of duality to unity. Which brings us to
the next question.
- Why Do Humans Have To Go Through
- An Evolutionary Process in Mormonism,
Freemasonry, etc.?
Since God in occult teachings is male and female, the father
and mother of the spirit children, but is in himself a unit,
not a duality. It manifests the First Cause, in Himself profoundly
hidden. The next concept to consider are the Sephiroth, which
emanate immediately from the First Cause, and by Its Nature have
produced and do control all the rest. These Sephiroth were put
forth from the One First and Simple, manifesting His Infinite
Goodness. They are mirrors of His Truth, and the analogues of
His Supremest Essence, the Ideas of His Wisdom, and the representation
of His will; the receptacles of His Potency, and the instruments
with which He operates… "
The reason I'm bringing the Sephiroth into this, is to show
the root of this teaching is the Kabalah. According to Hebrews
this Kabalah represents the Tree of Life, the forbidden fruit,
which cannot be accessed according to the Bible by human beings
until they are begotten like Christ Jesus. The Kabalah is not
rooted in the Old Testament but in a set of books called the
Talmud. The Talmud is a conglameration of Eastern religions such
as Buddhism, Hinduism and ancient mystery religion which dates
back to the Temple of Solomon. His Temple was destroyed even
though God resided there for a time. Solomon married 700 wives
and had 300 concubines who came from all over the world with
their beliefs and quickly turned the Temple into a place of Baal
worship, also called Sun worship. Rumaging through Mormon artifacts
you will find stones with Baal, the Sungod, carved on them and
they are still revered to this day.
According to these teachings "The First Cause effects,
preserves and governs all things. All things issue forth; the
Souls and Potencies, whereby essence, life, and movement are
given to all things. The principle of Male and Female keep the
balance according to Morals and Dogma page 762. In the Spiritual
world Evil and Good are in equilibrio, and it will be restored,
when of the Evil Good becomes, until all is Good."
Mormons do not believe in hell. They have outer darkness but
because of the Baptism for the Dead and the Endowment rituals,
all human beings have the potential of eternal life in heaven
with the Father irrespective of their beliefsor their sins. Even
Adolf Hitler is among those in their records of proxy Baptisms.
In fact Mormonism teaches that families are all bound together
through this process, which attracted me to Mormonism.
According to 33 degree Mason, Albert Pike, the supreme crown
is both sexes, Male and Female. .. The Universe was out-formed
in the form of Male and Female… The Principle, Hakemah,
is the Generator of all things; and He and Binah conjoin, and
she shines within Him. When they conjoin, she conceives, and the out-flow is Truth.
The Absolute Holy One, 'Yod' is the beginning and the end
of all things that are.
In the view of the Kabalists, all individuals are contained
in species, and all species in genera, and all particulars in
a Universal, which is an idea, abstracted from all consideration
of individuals; but as it were, an Ens, Entity or Being, ideal
or intellectual, but none the less real; prior to any indidual,
containing them all, and out of which they are all in succession
evolved. (page 764)
To go a step further when considering this concept, "the
whole Human race, or Humanity, then existed in the Deity, not
distinguished into individuals, but as a Unity, out of which
the Manifold was to flow. This potentiality was to the Kabalists
a real Ens… This was the Idea or Plan of the Universe..
[Spirits] had to emanate from the Infinite Deity, and be of Himself,
though not His very Self.
On page 765: To understand the Kabalistic idea of "the
Sephiroth, it must be borne in mind that they were assigned,
not only to the world of Emanations, but also to other worlds.."
In the view of the Kabalah, God and the Universe were One,
and in the One General, as the type or source, were included
and involved, and from it have been evolved and issued
forth, the manifold and all particulars… The links of that
bind all created things together, are the links of
a single Unity, and the whole Universe is One, developing
itself into the manifold… "
The Kabalah assigns sexual characteristics to the very Deity
as well. .. Page 766 : "The Infinite first limits Himself
by flowing forth in the shape of Will, of determination to act.
This Will of the Deity, or the Deity as will, is .. the first
Sephirah. In it are included all other Emanations… Now we
have the Self, flowed forth from Will, from which flows Power
to beget intellectual action.
These emanations (spirits) apparently are male or female because
when they are birthed into a human body they are one or
the other. The goal then becomes to be unified again with a mate
that makes this perfect unit. In Mormonism this unit becomes
another god. In the occult this is what is called "soul
mates". To come to this perfect place this male and female
emanation that each inhabit in a different body is instructed
by Deity to come to a place of perfection to be eternally married
to the perfect mate in the Mormon Temple to be ushered back into
the celestial heaven to receive a planet to create a place for
the spirits that they conceive. These spirits will need bodies
as well to go through this evolutionary process.
Dear Mormon, Freemason, New Agers, Pantheist, etc.. are you
beginning to see that Mormonism is an evolutionary process. Mormonism
also has its root in the Kabalah that teaches pantheism. According
to Webster's Dictionary, "Pantheism is a doctrine that equates
God with the forces and laws of the universe. 2) the worship
of all gods of different creeds, cults, or peoples indifferently:
also toleration of worship of all gods." It has to be pantheism
because the emanation [spirits] are ultimately fused back to
the origin since the whole universe is God. It was contained
in Him before it was manifested and is bound together by links
to this Single Unity. Because this concept includes all, animals,
plants, etc. worhsipping the earth is part of this as well.
Mormons wear the compass and square embroidered into their
temple garments. This symbol represents the male female unity.
To begin with these tools were used to draw circles for astrological
purposes. Page 850 "Morals and Dogma" makes the head
[of the compass] the Sun, and by that the head of the female.
The Moon, the crescent within the circle of the full moon represents
the female. The square of the compass and square also represents
the female." In plain English, the way the square is located
in the symbolism, the spread out legs represented by the square
(female) lies under the male, represented by the compass. The
symbol denotes intercourse.
"The square, .. is the appropriate symbol as well for
this Earth, Mother Earth. The Compass is .. the Heavens. Heaven
and Earth, were sung as the most ancient of the Deities, by Hesiod.
Satan is symbolized as well as a Hermaphroditic figure and
a symbol of the double nature anciently assigned to the Deity,
as Generator and Producer, as Brahm and Maya among the Aryans,
Osiris and Isis among the Egyptians. The Sun, the male, the Moon,
the female, were identified with Osiris and Isis, father and
mother of the big G, part of the Masonic symbol, but left out
of the Mormon compass and square, is Horus the offspring.
Page 851 of Morals and Dogma, "From Heavens come the
spiritual and immortal portion of man; from the Earth his material
and mortal portion. The Hebrew Genesis says that Yehouah formed
man of the dust of the earth, and breathed into his nostrils
the breath of life. 'Through the seven planetary spheres, represented
by the Mystic Ladder of the Mithriac Initiations, and it by that
which Jacob saw in his dream (not with three, but with seven
steps), the Souls, emanating from the Deity, descended, to be
united to their human bodies; and through those seven spheres
they must re-ascend, to return to their origin and home in the
bosom of the Deity."
By now it should be completely obvious to you that Jesus Christ
has no function in this system whatsoever. The Church calls itself
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the case of
Mormonism. Why I have no clue.
Here is another proof that the Mormons do not agree with the
Bible even though they sport it as one of their doctrines. Page
169 of Mormon Doctrine: Creation: "It is an utterly false
and uninspired notion to believe that the world or any other
thing was created out of nothing or that any created thing can
be destroyed in the sense of an annihilation. (D&C 93:33)
.. "This earth was not the first of the Lord's creations.
An infinite number of worlds have come rolling into existence
at his command. Each is an earth;; many are inhabited with his
spirit children; each abides the particular law given to it;
and each will play its part in the redemption, salvation, and
exaltation of that infinite host of the children of an Almighty
God. The Lord has said that his work and glory is to bring
to pass immortality and eternal life for his children on all
the inhabited worlds he has created. (Moses 1:27-40; 7:29-36;
D&C 88:17-26)
Looking at 'Hell' on page 349 of the Mormon Doctrine, "these
wicked spirits are in the spirit world only and are awaiting
the eventual day of their resurrection… Hell will have
an end.. but hell must deliver up its captive spirits, and
the grave must deliver up its captive bodies, and the bodies
and the spirits of men will be restored one to the other."
(2 Ne. 9:10-12) .. After their resurrection, the great majority
of those who suffered in hell will pass into the telestial kingdom."
In Mormonism the telestial kingdom is much like the life we have
on earth. This teaching is the exact opposite of the Gospel.
The Lake of Fire is a final act after the final resurrection.
Now lets see what the Bible has to say:
SPIRIT CHILDREN:
1 Corinthians 15:45-50 "And so it is written, The
first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made
a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which
is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which
is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the
second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are
they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they
also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the
earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this
I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom
of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption."
BIBLE'S ORIGIN:
2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of
God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction,
for instruction in righteousness:
HOW IMPORTANT IS THE KJV BIBLE:
John 1:1-4 In the beginning was the Word, and the
Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was
in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without
him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and
the life was the light of men.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among
us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten
of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
CREATION OF MAN
Genesis 1:26-27 And God said, Let us make man in our image,
after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish
of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle,
and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth
upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image
of God created he him; male and female created he them.
John 3:5-6 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water (1. NATURAL BIRTH) and
of the Spirit (2. SPIRITUAL BIRTH), he cannot enter
into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is
flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Notice here 'born of the Spirit' Spirit starts with a
capital letter because God is a triune God. God the Father, God
the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
God told us to worship Him in spirit because Jehovah God is a
Spirit. He does not have a physical body as Mormon's believe.
Philippians 3:3 For we are the circumcision, which
worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have
no confidence in the flesh.
MORMONS DO NOT EVER TALK ABOUT THE CIRCUMCISION
WHAT IS IT? DID YOU KNOW WITHOUT THE CIRCUMCISION YOU HAVE NO
SALVATION?
Speaking of the circumcision that all Israel was to undergo,
physical circumcision, to remind them that they belonged to God.
Since they rebelled it became worthless.
Romans 2:25-29 "For circumcision verily profiteth,
if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy
circumcision is made uncircumcision. Therefore if the uncircumcision
keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision
be counted for circumcision? And shall not uncircumcision which
is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter
and circumcision dost transgress the law? For
he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that
circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew,
which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart,
in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of
men, but of God."
TRUTH: WHERE DOES IT COME FROM?
Mark 12:32-33 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master,
thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there
is none other but he: And to love him with all the
heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul,
and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself,
is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
John 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light,
that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in
God.
HOW CAN WE DO TRUTH IF WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS?
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the
way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto
the Father, but by me.
John 14:16-18 And I will pray the Father, and he shall
give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for
ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom
the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth
him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall
be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come
to you.
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit
of truth, is come, he will guide you into
all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever
he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things
to come.
Jesus prayed to Heavenly Father in John 17:11-26 "And
now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and
I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those
whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. While
I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and
none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture
might be fulfilled. And now come I to thee; and these things
I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in
themselves.
I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because
they are not of the world, even as I am not
of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take
them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from
the evil. They are not of the world, even
as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy
word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have
I also sent them into the world.
And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might
be sanctified through the truth. Neither
pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe
on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou,
Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in
us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the
glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be
one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they
may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that
thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with
me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast
given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have
known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. And
I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that
the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in
them."
DID JESUS COME FOR ALL?
John 8:44-47 "Ye are of your father the devil, and
the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the
beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth
in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he
is a liar, and the father of it. And because I
tell you the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you convinceth
me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
He that is of God heareth God's words:
ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God."
Romans 1:17-26 "For therein is the righteousness
of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. For the wrath
of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness
of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which
may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed
it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation
of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things
that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they
are without excuse:
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God,
neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations,
and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to
be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible
God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds,
and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also
gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts,
to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed
the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature
more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this
cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women
did change the natural use into that which is against nature:"
WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET FORGIVENESS?
Matthew 4:17 "From that time Jesus began to preach,
and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
JESUS REPRESENTS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall
all likewise perish.
Acts 3:17-19 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance
ye did it, as did also your rulers. But those things, which
God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that
Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. Repent
ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted
out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence
of the Lord;
RIGHTEOUSNESS IS IMPUTED, NOT EARNED
Romans 4:16-25 Therefore it is of faith,
that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure
to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to
that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father
of us all, (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many
nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth
the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they
were. Who against hope believed in hope,
that he might become the father of many nations, according to
that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. And being not weak
in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was
about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's
womb:
He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but
was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded
that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. And
therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed
to him; But for us also, to whom it shall be
imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from
the dead; Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised
again for our justification.
Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies
of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be
not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed
by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that
good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Praying for your salvation,
humbly in Christ Jesus
