Group welcome message
It is the hope of this group that we may be of assistance to the hosts of heaven in bringing the 5th Epochal revelations of God to all mankind.
Even as their desire that we do so is amply and articulately expressed within the papers of these new revelations. To succeed in this mission we must walk in the clear light of living truth. Religion does need new leaders, spiritual men and women who will dare to depend solely on Jesus and his incomparable teachings.
It is important however that we do not overlook the value of our spiritual heritage, the river of truth running down through the centuries, even to the barren times of a materialistic and secular age. In all our worthy efforts to rid ourselves of the superstitious creeds of past ages, we should make sure that we hold fast the eternal truth. We must be patient! We have been informed that when the present superstition revolt is over, the truths of Jesus’ gospel will persist gloriously to illuminate a new and better way.
To "follow Jesus" means to personally share his religious faith and to enter into the spirit of the Master's life of unselfish service for man. One of the most important things in human living is to find out what Jesus believed, to discover his ideals, and to strive for the achievement of his exalted life purpose. Of all human knowledge, that which is of greatest value is to know the religious life of Jesus and how he lived it. The 5th epochal revelation papers are a suburb method of understanding the religious life of Jesus.
We have been instructed that 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 the 5th epochal 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!
Let us together make this prophecy a living reality.
Some day a reformation in the Christian church may strike deep enough to get back to the unadulterated religious teachings of Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. You may preach a religion about Jesus, but, perforce, you must live the religion of Jesus.
The ultimate goal of society’s most advanced achievement can never hope to transcend Jesus’ brotherhood of men based on the recognition of the fatherhood of God. The ideal of all social attainment can be realized only in the coming of this divine kingdom.
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 enlarged and exquisitely integrated modern concepts of cosmic truth, universe beauty, and divine goodness. Such a new and righteous vision of morality will attract all that is good in the mind of man and challenge that which is best in the human soul. Truth, beauty, and goodness are divine realities, and as man ascends the scale of spiritual living, these supreme qualities of the Eternal become increasingly co-ordinated and unified in God, who is love.
Religion does need new leaders, spiritual men and women who will dare to depend solely on Jesus and his incomparable teachings. If Christianity persists in neglecting its spiritual mission while it continues to busy itself with social and material problems, the spiritual renaissance must await the coming of these new teachers of Jesus' religion who will be exclusively devoted to the spiritual regeneration of men. And then will these spirit-born souls quickly supply the leadership and inspiration requisite for the social, moral, economic, and political reorganization of the world.
