Ambassadors of the Father - Apostles of Christ serving today's generation

Ambassadors of the Father - Apostles of Christ serving today's generation

In every generation of man his human teachers of truth appear on the earth and bring new and higher teachings about the gift of the Father (eternal life) and (the ministry of salvation) the gift of the Creator Son known on this world as Jesus Christ to every individual who receives these divine gifts. This group is to promote the works of these human teachers of truth who are now active in the world and ministering to today's generation. As well as to promote the new 5th epochal revelations recently received from Divine Sons of God on earth and disseminate these new teachings to all nations and to all peoples. Our Father (GOD) did indeed speak through Moses, Elijah, Isaiah, Amos, and Hosea, but he did not cease to minister words of truth to the world when these prophets of old made an end of their utterances. Our Heavenly Father is no respecter of races or generations in that the word of truth is vouchsafed one age and withheld from another. Commit not the folly of calling that divine which is wholly human, and fail not to discern the words of truth which come not through the traditional oracles of supposed inspiration.
