The title given to this chapter is “God Giveth a New Religion.” 1. God said: Hear the words of your God, O ye preachers, priests and rab’bahs; seek not to gainsay my words. ¶ 1 At the outset of this chapter, it is evident that it is those who are considered spiritual leaders of the congregations and religious institutes. The term “gainsay” is used in the sense of “oppose.” The leaders are warned not to oppose these words or to…
“Take your chosen of the congregation of your church, and make manifest whereof ye preach.” (Book of Judgement 18:3) The 18th chapter of the Book of Judgement is certainly an indictment against nominal Christianity and its leaders who can not seem to swindle enough money from their followers. Many preachers TALK about charity but do not DO charity. Their religious attire is often very expensive. That money could have helped purchase several meals for the poor and homeless. I am…
“I am not come to captivate the ignorant and unlearned. Nor am I come to call sinners to repentance. Nor to convert the debauchee, nor to convert the profane man, nor to convert the harlot. Sufficient have been other revelations unto all these. Nor have I come to say: Behold, this is my book! And there shall be none other! But, behold, I come to found Jehovih’s kingdom on earth. I come to the wise and learned. And not to…
4. To corporeans I give corporeal eyes and corporeal ears, that they might attain to wisdom on the earth; but to a few I give su’is, that they may see and hear things spiritually. 5. To the spirits of mortals who die in infancy, I give spiritual eyes and spiritual ears; but without cultivation they hear not corporeal things, nor see corporeal things. But to such spirits as have fulfilled an earth life, I created them to see and hear…
Chapter 1 Between chapter 1:2 and 1:8, there is an unknown period of time from when the angels appeared as mortals and when “the Lord commanded the angels to give up their forms, and to be no more seen as mortals.” Some have claimed that the angels existed in mortal form for six generations. This is erroneous. The reference to “six generations” is found in verse 8, but is referring to how long the angels (after they shed their mortal…
Question: Why does your Bible and publications use the name “Jehovih” instead of “Jehovah” or “Yahweh”? I have never seen this before. What basis do you have for using this strange spelling? Reply: The form of the Creator’s Name as published in the Oahspe is rendered as “Jehovih” (je-ho-vee) This can also be found in the Old Testament of Judaism in the form of “Yehovih.” In fact, some of our previous publications did use the latter spelling, but for the…
Brothers and sisters, We should pray for our enemies as we have always been taught. We can be tolerant of the mistreatment we receive from others and remain patient, waiting on the Eternal Father to intervene. Sometimes, however, it is important that we use our divinely given right to stand up for ourselves instead of being walked over time and again. Patience is a virtue, but so is valiancy.
If you are having doubts about your faith, pray about it. Do not sit idly doing anything about it. Sometimes faith takes courage because of various forms of opposition. In some cases, this opposition is in the form of lower-level spirits who do not have your best interests at heart. Pray for protection from such dark spirits. Evaluate what you are doing in your life day to day to see what could possibly be drawing such spirits to you. This…
There are various levels of hell, each with its own name and number of angels. (14:3-6) Certain beings came upon earth “fastening upon mortals”, and at times bringing death to “large cities and nations.” This death is disease, likely airborne. The Oahspe Bible says these beings “impregnated the air with poison … and these were called plagues.” (14:7) Reference to three resurrections (14:8) Angels that “engraft themselves on mortals, becoming as a twin spirit to the one corporeal body” are…
Humans’ “grade of understanding”, desires and aspirations are recorded (13:3). The purpose of this is to determine whether or not earth should receive an increase of light (knowledge) “for the ultimate (eventual and sure) perfection of her soul harvests.” The spirits of the dead are “measured” or examined in a similar manner as that of living humanity. (13:4)
