COPTIC TIMES NO. 2

SALVATION

At this time there is a controversy between the people of Goud and those who have erred from the truth. Now it is through this error that sufferings and misery have increased on the earth; the keeping of Goud's moral law being the only salvation.

Now the misleading of man into the course of destruction has been a clever conspiracy, taking a part of the truth, and mixing it with a lie, to divide and weaken the people. So as to leave them defenseless against those systems oppression which rule not by the will of Goud; yet by their own cunning and craftiness; forces of arms, and secret agreements.

Today there are many diverse beliefs about every aspect of the human and the divine nature. There are many religions, political parties, economic systems, and commercial enterprises - all proclaiming to be justified and right.

But to believe and say you are right is not good enough. Many have believed something to be true which proved to be false. You must know the truth to have a real security. The Bible says that in the last days many false prophets will rise up, deceiving many and being deceived.

Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist will come, even now are there many tichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. I John 2:18.

Belouved, believe not every spirit, yet try the spirits whether they are of Goud: because

many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of Goud: that Every spirit confesseth that Jesus Christus is come in the flesh, is of Goud: and every spirit that not that confesseth Jesus Christus is come in the Flesh, is not of Goud. And this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it would come; and even now already is it in the world.

I John 4:1-3.

There is only one Goud and one spirit. And there is one Son of Goud who is man. We are children of Goud when we obey Goud as Christ obeyed Goud. Therefore all these religions, political parties, and multi-conglomorate porations who claim to follow Goud's way cannot agree for they are not of Goud who is only one. There is no division in Goud or amongst his people. It is obvious that these men have twisted Goud's story, as told in the Bible, to suit their convenience. Many are deceived, while others are conscious deceivers. They believe in a Goud which neither they nor their fathers have known.

Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars-hill, and said. Ye men of Athens (America), I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.

Acts 17:22-23

When you take a check to see what these people really know about Goud you find that every one has a different view. Goud to them is some thing far away out of this world. Some say he's a spirit or ghost with no body, in this world. Most say they'll see Goud when they're dead. This is that same unknown God which they worship even now this day.

Goud is a man. We cannot hear a voice unless a man speaks. So when a man hears Goud's voice, who does he hear? Does a tree or a stone talk? Can words come down out of the sky? To hear Goud's voice you must hear Goud's living holy prophet. Further, it is clear that man is Goud in every age. Man wrote the Bible, man made the ink and paper from Goud's creation. Man is the sole agency of Goud.

It is a commonly told story that Christ was born of a woman without the help of male seed. Now this is spread amongst the people to confuse them to the nature of Goud. For God in the form of Christ was a natural man with a natural father. Joseph, the Father of Jesus, of the seed of David, carried the living seed of Goud's promise. Now Christ was of that seed and so was Joseph. Is it possible for Mary to have this seed in her by any other means that by a man of the seed of David? To believe this child-madonna myth is to disregard Goud's natural order. It is this same kind of thinking which will lead a man to taking up a deadly snake and letting it bite him, thinking that Goud will alter all the laws that govern his natural earth in this one leave him instance, and unharmed. Goud didn't make his creation confusing. Man has confused himself.

And afterward they desired a King: and Goud gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty. And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king: to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which will fulfill all my will. Of this man's seed hath Goud, according to his promise, raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

Acts 13:21-23.

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of Goud, (which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scrip- tures,) concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh:

Romans 1:1-3.

Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead, according to my gospel:

2 Timothy 2:8

The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

St. Matthew 1:1.

And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill thy horn with oil, and go. I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: For I have provided me a king among his sons.

I Samuel 16:1

Modern religions tell us that Iwe will know Goud when we are dead. It is true that men do not know Goud, for sin has blinded their eyes. When they look upon their brother man they see him in their own eyes which are blinded to the perfect man who is without sin. Death is the wages of sin,and all have sinned. So Goud now comes to us in the flesh to tell mankind of their sins, ready to forgive those who repent and stop these sins, and to restore man to his first state of immortality. Those who do not repent will soon reap the reward of their ungodly deed which they perform daily in their own bodies which were not created to bear the weight of one sin. Goud is a man.

I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him saying, For a good work we stone thee not; yet for blasphemy, and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself Goud. Jesus answered them. Is it not written in your law I said, Ye are Goud's?

St. John 10:30-34.

The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of Goud.

St. John 19:7.

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, the flesh, Goud sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh. Romans 8:3.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of Gouid, they are the sons of Goud.

Romans 8:14.

Yet the number of the children of Israel will be as the sands of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it will come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them Ye are not my people, there it will be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living Goud.

Hosea 1:10.

And because ye are sons, Goud hath sent forth the spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

Galations 4:6.

Behold what manner of Louv the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we would be called the sons of Goud! therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Belouved, now are we the sons of Goud, and it doth not yet appear what we will be: yet we know that, when he will appear, we will be like him; for we will see him as he is.

I John 3:12.

Yes, we were all meant to be members of Christ's body. We were not created for sin. We can be free. Know ye not that ye are Gouds. Salvation is not in the grave. Salvation is a very real state in a very real world.
