6./ A True Master
Jesus of Nazareth was indeed a strong and forceful personality; he was an intellectual power and a spiritual stronghold. ...And red-blooded, rugged Galilean fishermen called him Master. 141:3.5

170:5.21 Mistake not! there is in the teachings of Jesus an eternal nature which will not permit them forever to remain unfruitful in the hearts of thinking men. The kingdom as Jesus conceived it has to a large extent failed on earth; for the time being, an outward church has taken its place; but you should comprehend that this church is only the larval stage of the thwarted spiritual kingdom, which will carry it through this material age and over into a more spiritual dispensation where the Master's teachings may enjoy a fuller opportunity for development. Thus does the so-called Christian church become the cocoon in which the kingdom of Jesus' concept now slumbers. The kingdom of the divine brotherhood is still alive and will eventually and certainly come forth from this long submergence, just as surely as the butterfly eventually emerges as the beautiful unfolding of its less attractive creature of metamorphic development.
196:1.2 The time is ripe to witness the figurative resurrection of the human Jesus from his burial tomb amidst the theological traditions and the religious dogmas of nineteen centuries. Jesus of Nazareth must not be longer sacrificed to even the splendid concept of the glorified Christ. What a transcendent service if, through this revelation, the Son of Man should be recovered from the tomb of traditional theology and be presented as the living Jesus to the church that bears his name, and to all other religions! Surely the Christian fellowship of believers will not hesitate to make such adjustments of faith and of practices of living as will enable it to "follow after" the Master in the demonstration of his real life of religious devotion to the doing of his Father's will and of consecration to the unselfish service of man.

Hi Geoff,
Thank you very much for your support. I am so thankful and very happy. Paul Kemp already informed me that he received the $519.85. Once I have the money, I will immediately go to the hospital for a medical check-up, including a general body check, X-ray, scans, and other tests to make sure everything is okay after the accident. I truly appreciate your kindness, because I have no one else to go to for medical help. I pray that you continue to follow up on me by supporting and helping me until I fully recover.
Cheers
Godspeed
Onesmas
5./ The Challenge
The religious challenge of this age is to those farseeing and forward-looking men and women of spiritual insight who will dare to construct a new and appealing philosophy of living out of the...modern concepts of cosmic truth, universe beauty, and divine goodness. 2:7.10
