Greetings. I am Jesus the Christ. And I do not ask for your money. On these nine pages are the essential parts of my religious project. William Godwin, Corinth, MS. 1995

We are experiencing the 28-year tribulation (or testing period), which began on February 6, 1986, coinciding with the start of my public mission JJOY as Jesus the Christ, and which will end on March 7» 2014. If we build enough moral progress by then, the Lord God will initiate the Millennium — a thousand years of paradise on Earth. If not, all people will be welcomed into Heaven. On April 5, 1987, Yahweh performed a triple miracle that averted World War III and neutralized the negative energy forces of the universe and eliminated the antiChrist. Since then we've had net progress for the first time in history. THE HEADLINES: changes in communism, forward movement in the Middle East (including Iraq's defeat), more rights for the blacks in South Africa, the rescue of Somalia, ecological care, U.S. debt repairs, advances for women & homosexuals. Meanwhile, Jehovah has been trying to make adjustments in our weather. And the Lord needs our help on many other problems.

My legal name William Godwin yields the 3 words I AM GOD in consecutive order. My middle name Morrison means Mary's Son. Morri or Mauri becomes Mari. My town has a Bible name. I live in the poorest area of the richest nation. North Miss.- USA.  My human father was a carpenter. The name of my college means Son of David. Both of my parents were born in 1914, or 100 years before the Millennium might begin in 2014. The Old Testament counts 2,520 years to the symbolic opening of the Lord's Kingdom in 1914, which was also the start of modem times & World War I.

I was conceived on 12-25-39, as World War II got underway, & was born at 6 a.m. on 9-25-40. When Jesus was born the first time (in 5 B.C.), the Israeli shepherds were active in the fields. They wouldn't have been there during the winter. The Jewish New Year is marked at various times between early September & early October. The midpoint is September 25. Jesus was born on that day, twice. The 2,000th observance of his birth will be in 1996 instead of in 1995, because there was not a zero year between B.C. & A.D. Artists have imagined that Jesus was more beautiful than anyone else. But Isaiah 53 said that the Christ would be ugly & despised.

The Bible has some valuable teachings & some mistakes. Elohim isn't perfect, because beings who do not grow & learn & change are dead. Since no one chooses to be born, Jehovah must save everyone. There is no satan and no hell. Jesus accomplished universal salvation with the crucifixion & resurrection. My job now is to stimulate thinking.  I have 3 hopes: (l) that we develop our minds to the fullest possible extent, (2) that our worship be inter-racial & inter-faith, and (3) that we work for democratic socialism in a world government.

My line of thinking is called Deism, the study of God. Deists such as USA President Thomas Jefferson have accepted the reality of God, but all else is open to question. The Bible says God is all-powerful, all-knowing, all-good & loving. Given the tragic condition of Earth & its people, God can't be all of these things at once. If God knows everything that will happen & has complete power, then the Lord causes all events & is not good & loving. Either that or the Prime Mover stands by and watches evil flourish, which would be the greatest evil. But since I know that God IS good and loving, then the Lord trudges imperfect, partly disabled, not having all power or all knowledge. There is no room for a devilish force. Be assured that God has much more power and knowledge than anyone else and achieves far greater things than we do. We should love God because the Lord does the very best for us that is possible.

There is no satan. If God allowed an evil angel to run free and wreak havoc for many centuries, then the Lord would not be good and loving. Also, there is no hell, not even for Hitler. Then, what is to keep us from misbehaving? Fear of hell is not very effective in this world. And even if it were, fear of endless punishment is a negative reason for behaving. A positive reason is that we and all other members of the human race will be happy if we behave.

The biggest item in a typical church budget is either the pastor's salary & benefits or the building fund — and not charity. My plan, which is patterned after the early Christians, is to hold church services in people's houses, without the entertainment of a preacher and choir. Leaders could rotate and donations could go for real needs. Jesus had no place to lay his head. He was poor, and he tended to the poor. Today, many of our ministers have no lodging for their fleets of automobiles.

In organized religion, as in all other areas which make up a democracy, there should be room for disagreement, without destruction. The Bible is not exempt from argument, as is seen from almost 1,600 denominations in the United States alone. An evangelist said it best: "It's a mighty thin pancake that don't have 2 sides."

 It cannot be over-stressed: Brotherhood's what the Bible's all about • • • Jonathan Swift said, "We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another." • • • Aaron Henry said, "The most segregated school in my hometown and yours is not the public school. It's the Sunday School." • • • What can we do? Two congregations of different races can become partners. A minority of each fellowship (say 10% of the active members) can worship with the other group.

I have attended the worship services of many denominations. For 2 years in Memphis, I was a member of the Centenary United Methodist Church, which is a black congregation. This was shortly after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and I was demonstrating my brotherly love • • • In recent years I haven't been a member of any sect. During that time I have not entered any sanctuary that is segregated, but rather have been working and waiting for congregations to actively recruit people of all races • • • Where does Jesus want to worship? It is obvious. The Christ will feel welcome in only those religious meetings that include residents from all races, faiths, and stations of life • • • Racists will be the most miserable angels.

When I urged a white Corinth church to actively recruit black members, I was told that blacks "wouldn't have any social life." Is this what our congregations have become — social clubs? • • • You may say that everyone is welcome at your church, but I don't believe you • • • If mankind cannot meet at the altar, then our reverence is a joke. However, some souls are earnestly trying to live prejudice-free.

Churches should have been the first to integrate, not the last to confront brotherhood with weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth • • • You may feel that ethnic troubles are not your fault. True, none of us ever owned slaves. But the results of slavery and segregation are stubborn. It is our responsibility, as the heirs of bad traditions, to make things right • • • Katherine Anne Porter said, “Love must be learned, & learned again & again; there is no end to it. Hate needs no instruction, but wants only to be provoked.” • • • The petty differences which keep denominations apart are not worthy of comment. Every congregation in the world should humbly call itself THE CHURCH that meets at 123 Union Circle, City, State, Nation.

There are 21 black churches in Corinth & Alcorn County and, because of the population ratio, there are many more white congregations.  The opportunities for inter-racial worship are numerous • • • Inter-racial worship is not a new thing. For 2 hundred years, the plantation owners took their slaves to church, even though the slaves were segregated in balconies & were taught not to steal, kill, get uppity, or disobey. Now it is time to practice brotherhood without the balconies.

What color is Jesus? All people are various shades of brown — from very dark brown to very light brown. No one is really black, white, yellow, or red. And so to decide the color of Jesus, what does it matter? • • • Churches are the last great hope of segregation. Jesus rarely visits. Like a member of another race, Jesus is not even welcome • • • I am mostly Caucasian and it depresses me to sit in the midst of an all-white congregation. The prayers don't even reach the ceiling • • • Please boycott racist churches and pray for progress. If we will worship inter-racially, then we will learn to care for whole communities. The South Africans are saying, "Heaven Is Smiling. We are free at last."

After he fell from power in the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev said, "Socialism must be accompanied by democracy. I still believe I am committed to socialism as an idea, but my analysis shows that socialism never actually existed in any country. What we had was not socialism, but a Stalinistic idea that shattered us." 

Socialism is clearly taught in the Bible. Jesus opposed competition, saying you  should yield to your enemy, give up your coat, walk the extra mile, and turn the other cheek. When one of his disciples cut off the soldier's ear, Jesus put the ear back on. He opposed capitalism, saying it is almost impossible for the rich to go to Heaven and directing the rich man to sell all that he had and to give to the poor. Jesus blessed the poor in spirit, or the unambitious.

The early Christians practiced socialism, as follows: "All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need-" — Acts 2: 44, 45. "All the believers were one in heart and mind No one claimed that any of his possessions were his own, but they shared everything they had. There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need." — Acts 4: 32, 34, 35. This is not atheistic, totalitarian, dictatorial communism.

WORLD DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM — The U.S. national debt has fattened so fast that now it is holding the economy down. All that is keeping America from wallowing in its worst depression these days is the federal safety net. Socialism is saving us. If we have another great depression, it will be good for us, in that the failure of capitalism will introduce a broader role for socialism. Financial spells can thus be seen as contributing to net progress in all sections of the world.

My conception of a just economic system for all the world's people is a blend of socialism and capitalism. I propose that this system be known as World Democratic Socialism (WDS), which would operate in conjunction with a world government. There would be no more war and the military would become police. Membership in the world government would be by persuasion and all of Earth's resources would be shared equitably. Rich and powerful nations would not be favored.

I suggest a WDS constitution patterned after the United States document, which has been amended only 27 times in more than 200 years. It is flexible.

Provisions of WDS include the following: human rights by law, private ownership of limited property, small businesses with limited incomes and no competition, government ownership & operation of larger corporations (factories & big retail outlets), no advertising, no athletic combat, no taxes because everyone would get government salaries, no campaign spending, no attacks on opposition candidates, free universal education, free universal health care, separation of church and state, and inter-racial worship (love) to be encouraged.

There would be a gradual resettlement of people so that no city would have more than 300,000 residents (ideally 100,000). Overcrowding invites trouble.

U.S. personal income in 1990 totaled $4.6455 trillion, or an average per adult of $23,221. WDS salaries in America could range from $12,000 per year to $30,000 — depending on tested ability, amount of training, degree of difficulty, level of responsibility, years of experience, and number of dependents. Couples would be limited to one child. The elderly and the disabled would receive pensions.  There would be no cycles of boom and bust, no interest rates, no inflation, and no unemployment. The economic system would be weighted toward socialism. Eventually, all countries would be on an even footing.

THE MOST VIOLENT PLACE on Earth is the U.S. And there's no mystery about it. We pursue materialism (capitalism), treating people as objects, and we can't hope to escape violence. Can we have democracy without competition? Easily. There should be no campaign spending & no attacks on other candidates. Media members would provide free equal space & free equal time to every qualifier. Candidates could present their histories, endorsements, and planned programs without any mudslinging. Jesus will advise, but will not rule.

Whatever was first was created by God. However, the Lord has also used evolution to help develop life during the eons of the universe — about 21 billion years. Thus, creation and evolution work together and are not enemies.

God has changed only one instruction to me in my current life, and that has to do with birth control. Heretofore, the Lord approved only of abstinence and sterilization. Even if a mother's life is in danger, abortion is not called for. Who can say that a mother's life is worth more than her child's? Now God permits artificial means of preventing pregnancy, because of alarming levels of population in the world. Condoms, etc., are allowed, so long as no one is harmed, but abortion is still murder. Yahweh recommends no more than one pregnancy per woman. The main purpose of sex is procreation, but God recognizes that many people are not able to control the urges. Above all, please have love before sex. Elohim wants people to be at least 23 years old before marriage, with a courtship of at least 3 years. Every part of the relationship ought to be tested, with the consummation just before the wedding.

It is cruel for men and women to look upon abortion as the final step of birth control when other measures failed or were not even bothered with. Governments should not pay for abortions and should admonish people not to have abortions. But people who kill unborn babies should not be punished & their clinics must not be harassed. At the other end, euthanasia is proper within the bounds of ethical procedures.

People like different kinds of food, work, vehicles, etc. Is it so surprising that people also like a variety of sexual practices? The primitive peoples were taught by crusaders to use the missionary position only. That teaching was in error. Now that AIDS is a big part of the picture, it is wise to be celibate. Please behave and be careful. Until homosexuals are allowed to marry, it is unfair for anyone else to be married. To include everyone, we must say love before sex. The condemnation of homosexuals by the Bible is incorrect. Too many people worship Paul instead of Jesus, who made no mention of homosexuality in his Bible words.

I do not claim to be perfect. And a close reading of the Bible reveals that the historical Jesus made at least 21 mistakes, if the Scripture is accurate. I smoke cigarettes and did drink one can of beer daily. During my youth, I had sex contact with more than 800 men and women — mostly feminine men. My AIDS test on 3-16-92 was negative and I am trying to be celibate. The emphasis for all unpaired people should be on abstinence and not on "safe sex." We should insist on blood tests be-fore sealing our union. For those who refuse to be admonished, maybe they'll fear death enough to use condoms. God chose to use my promiscuity to keep me from marrying and having children. You can see that a wife and children of mine would be in great danger. Jesus cannot belong to anybody in particular because he belongs to every human. The Savior loves everybody. As Jesus the Christ, I love each one of those 800-plus people with whom I shared intimate moments in very special ways.

My mission has been featured on more than 14,000 radio and television broadcasts, which have been received by 700 million people. If each recipient has shared my statements with seven other people, the total is equal to Earth's population.

I will visit local churches that are racially integrated — if I'm allowed to be the principal speaker. I expect to answer questions & comments. Please do not be afraid of me. I don't seek to start a new church, but to unite existing religions.

Henry David Thoreau, a writer who died in 1862, said, "If the Christ should appear on Earth again, he would (on all hands) be denounced as a mistaken-misguided man, insane and crazed." In some ways, the job of Jesus is tougher this time. He was boosted back then by the miracles. He fed the 5,000+. He fed the 4.000+. And the people followed him until the food ran out. Almost everyone deserted Jesus.

Each human should try to be like Jesus. But, with thousands of splintered sects all labeled Christian, there is no proof that anyone has succeeded. I give you pieces of evidence for my claim, but they likely will not convince you. Please decide for yourself if my words are reasonable, coherent, believable, and true.

BRIEFLY SPEAKING: You may be wondering what I think about things that were not made clear in the Bible. Writers of the Bible were doing the best they could. They were inspired in the same way that some writers of today are inspired — imperfectly.

My name is Jesus or Immanuel. I have several titles, including the Christ, the Savior, the Messiah, and so on. The title "Christ" is neither my first name nor my last name. This title should always be preceded by "the" unless coming before my name. As in President Lincoln • • • Almost nothing on TV is worth noting on paper.  TV must become educational before it's too late • • • Mothers who needlessly work away from their pre-school children should be prosecuted. Couples ought not marry until they can afford it and should not reproduce until they can afford a family.

Divorce is an admission that at least one partner never loved the other • • • Nuclear energy is a risk that we must take • • • The Lord frowns on competition, including war and crime and private commerce and athletic rivalry. The desirable behavior is cooperation • • • If God died, all of the lights in the universe would go out immediately • • • In 1986 I stated that we continue to bail water and the hole is not fixed. Net progress began with the triple miracle of April 5, 1987.

The second mission of Jesus the Christ could not start until 2 conditions had been met: The story of my earlier life had to be heard in every part of the world and the Jews had to resettle Palestine. Both conditions were satisfied before the beginning of my public mission on February 6, 1986 • • • Space travel is the modern sequel to the Tower of Babel, when the Lord punished the people for trying to  build a structure to Heaven — by confusing their speech. Jehovah will not allow space travel to continue for very long • • • Other solar systems have life.

While nation-states exist, the world should not interfere with the internal affairs of a country. The troubles may be repulsive, but they are nobody else's business • • • Complete freedom is chaos. The question is: How much freedom is good? A specific freedom may be good, but not all of them. A society must have a certain amount of regimentation. Terrorism & other crimes are expressions of freedom • • • The Lord favors censorship of filth, but not of serious ideas.

Capital punishment is never justified. Prisons should restrain the violent criminals only. Never let them go. Make non-violent felons work on the outside to pay their debts. With socialism, everyone has a job • • • If my views seem to be inconsistent, it is because the truth comes in all shades — from left to center to right. I am more liberal in my political thinking and more conservative in my personal tastes. But mostly moderate • • • There are many ailments, including drug addictions. Since it is not possible to wipe out drugs (such as tobacco and alcohol and others), we must treat the illnesses as they occur. Vigorous law enforcement is essential • • • My symbolic wedding to mankind was on June 7, 1989 • • • Children should first behave and then have fun.

I like religious and secular music of all kinds • • • With my routine under close scrutiny, I am hiding nothing. Many people may be disappointed to learn that I smoke cigarettes. Tobacco is a natural, God-given plant. As with all other things in this world, it brings us pleasure and pain. I have no advice, except to say: Choose your poison. And remember: Something kills everyone,

I am a male Caucasian, 54 years old on September 25, 1994. I am a college graduate, a teacher, a writer, and have never married. I've been a member of the Kiwanis Club, a Boy Scout leader, an overseas orphan sponsor, and a blood donor. I was valedictorian of my high school graduating class & a Dana Scholar in college. I received the American Legion Good Citizenship Award. I've never tried to hurt anyone, and I spend a lot of time hearing the problems of people from all walks of life • • • You may have heard that I have a history of mental illness. It is actually a physical illness. I've been treated for a chemical imbalance in my body & I take lithium pills daily to maintain the balance.

If I were trying to fool people into believing I am Jesus the Christ, don't you think I would try to mirror the Bible? And isn't it more remarkable for a fallible Jesus to achieve than for a perfect Jesus to accomplish miracles when he has no chance of making a mistake? • • • Anyone has every right to question the Creator • • • There are 2 roots of evil — the love of money and the love of self • • • Solemnly wondering what to do is like praying. Serious thought is prayer • • • Guns do kill • • • I am trying to find a young person to replace me as Jesus.  Any race, sex, religion, lifestyle, or national origin.

Petitions calling for prayers in the public schools are making the rounds again, and I am being criticized for refusing to sign them. My reasons are given below:

Contrary to popular belief, most people did not have freedom when our country began. For instance, if you wanted your rights, you had to belong to certain religious groups. Today that tyrannical practice has been largely corrected. To my knowledge, no legitimate church is being taxed today on its sanctuary property. But some sects take advantage of this provision & operate businesses tax-free.

Religions were charitable before the Great Depression came along, but they soon forfeited this role to the government. Since then, the big item in a church budget is likely to be the preacher's salary and other benefits or the building fund and not charity. Aunt Emma is letting Uncle Sam do her chores.

Now there is renewed clamoring for prayers in the public schools, even though the government cannot favor some religions over others. Again, churches are admitting that they can't handle a problem which is a family-church problem. "We can't or won't teach our kids to pray, so we want the schools to do it."

Children are already praying in the public schools, at least every time there is a big test. You may never know when children are praying — if the prayers are silent ones. I favor a few moments each day for silent prayer & meditation. Students could use the time to compose themselves for the school day.

I pray for all people, especially the sick, because their fears are likely to be magnified. Obviously, God does not miraculously heal very many people. But natural healing occurs every moment, with the assistance of doctors & nurses. The healing ministry of Jesus showed that he cared and also showed he had miraculous powers. The main benefit of our prayers is to enable us to bear heavy burdens. We should pray for help — but not to make us young again — and we should pray for God's will to be done. The Lord makes every effort to help us.

Jesus shared a model prayer, but really there are no rules in praying. You can whisper or shout or silently meditate. The most effective prayers are private and including prayer by your preacher or another friend at the bedside. The important thing is to be sincere. Prayers are answered. The answer may be "yes" or "no" or "be patient" or "handle it yourself." And God plays no favorites. The Lord answers the prayers of people who don't go to church as well as the prayers of people who do go to church. (The typical church is 2% Christian.)

Since no one chooses to be born, everyone is saved. We shouldn't worry about eternity. And, because Heaven is a much better place than Earth, we should be constantly yearning to go to Heaven as soon as possible. Most families go to great expense for a "proper" funeral. But funerals are for the loved ones left behind, not for the one who has departed. We grieve because we will miss the deceased. However, he or she is in Heaven, making intercession for us.

And so the family carries on. In a while, there will be another funeral. It is all right to be sad. A little mourning, though, should give way to rejoicing. I realize that physicians take an oath to keep the patient alive as long as possible. But there are many cases in which the goal should be to ease pain & suffering — not to try to tack another 20 years onto a life.

You can pray to me or to Jehovah. We have a vast network of computers, etc. If you can't find the right words, the Holy Spirit in your soul will convey the message. P.S. It is not fair to say that God is everything & we are nothing. We are neither worms nor angels. There is good in every person.

End of page 6

The most important skill in learning is not "how to become friendly with a computer" or "how to conjugate a verb." The bottom line is good behavior. Children shouldn't be allowed to enter the first grade until their Terrible Twos are over.

There is a controversy about teaching the Christian religion in public schools. The U.S. Constitution forbids that, but there is another way to instill moral values in youths. The values can be labeled Good Citizenship. Thus, the kids will be encouraged to become patriotic, friendly, honest, brave, responsible, obedient, moderate, generous, hard-working, kind, helpful, neighborly, thrifty, and all-around-good.

After good behavior, the most important skill for young people is communication, especially in language & math. Familiarity with words & numbers is vital. You will find that even illiterate people can usually count money & make change.

Aside from that, the key subject is writing, along with reading. Older students should write in class at least once a week. Topics should be discussed the day before. Grammar and spelling instruction can be tied to mistakes on student compositions. And even literature can be related. Quizzes on reading assignments can be graded partly on the use of complete sentences, spelling & other aspects of good writing. If all teachers know their language, then writing can be taught in all subject areas. Writing, which is thinking, should get tons of attention.

Other important subjects include science & social studies. It is especially embarrassing not to know much about geography. Social studies also include the fields of government, history, economics, psychology, philosophy, & religions.

The parts of education we call "frills" should be pursued only if time & money permit. Giant school buildings are frills. The old schools, with many ages in one room, were helpful. Competitive sports are a bad influence. Art and music and theater are less important than other subjects. However, job crafts should be emphasized in high school. Computers & TV can't take the place of learning.

A critical behavior today is that of sex. By stressing sex education at all levels, we might be able to improve on the sorry mess regarding birth control, abortion, & sexual diseases such as AIDS. Driver's education is also needed.

Just as sermons can be entertaining but not effective, so lectures in schools  are boring unless the teachers are show-business types. The Socratic method of teaching is superior, with questions & answers instead of monologues. A good memory is important, but we remember what we use. Tertullian of Carthage, who died about 240 A.D., said, "The first reaction to truth is hatred." Sometimes it is the only reaction. Journalist Walter Lippmann said, "When all think alike, no one thinks very much."

Henry Ford, an American industrialist who died in 1947, said, "Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is why so few engage in it."

Bertrand Russell said, "Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on Earth. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid." Believing is easier than thinking. Anything is easier than thinking. Common sense isn't common.

Highly intelligent people often turn out to be poor thinkers because they may be satisfied with defensive thinking. The best advice for thinkers is: Don't assume anything. Take nothing for granted. Don't assume that your mama loves you or that the sun will rise tomorrow — even though they always have.

An educated person might not be one with many years of schooling. Abraham Lincoln had 2 years of formal studies. An educated person & one who is moral and just are the same. If I say, "I admire a person with an education," the words should mean not only intellect, but also goodness. A wise person necessarily has a good character. Love is more than emotion. Love is good sense.

End of page 7

There are some valuable teachings in the Bible. And there are mistakes. If you take the position that God is good and loving, then much of the Old Testament does not wash. According to the Bible, the Jews went through a cycle time after time in which they fell away from God, were punished (often militarily), then repented and were given military victories over their enemies, only to fall away again. A good and loving God would not order killing. The commandment warns against killing. A preacher said the commandment meant a Jew should not kill another Jew, but in war it was okay. I say that don't kill means don't kill anybody.

If the Bible is 100% accurate, then Jesus made at least 21 mistakes: (l) He gave sin a bad name, but errors can be good if we learn from them. Sin is a word used by preachers to make us feel afraid & guilty. (2) Jesus spoke of a satan, which has never existed. If God allowed an evil angel to cause trouble for many years, then the Lord would not be good and loving. (3) Jesus made references to hell. However, since no one has a choice about being born, then God must save everyone.

(4) Jesus is supposed to have cursed a fig tree, even though the poor tree could not help it if it didn't produce fruit. (5) Jesus said you must hate your family in order to follow him, or so he is quoted in the Bible. But the brunt of Jesus' teaching was that we should have love and compassion toward everyone. (6) Jesus is quoted as saying he did not want people to understand his parables because, if they did, they would turn and be saved. This is an uncaring statement.

(7) Jesus didn't know when the world would end. According to the New Testament, he thought the end would come during his century. (8) Jesus allegedly wrecked the temple and assaulted people there, even though we know that Jesus hated violence. (9) Jesus is quoted as saying, "Let the dead bury the dead." If true, that would be a cruel statement. Of course, the clergy try to explain it away.

(10) Jesus may have been the first moonshiner, making wine from water. And the Bible does not say grape juice. The Scriptures tend to approve of alcohol, but not drunkenness. (11) Jesus allegedly said you will get what you ask for, not adding that it will happen if it is Jehovah's will. (12) Jesus said God takes care of birds, but what about the many species of animals that have become extinct?  Today it is said that Yahweh helps those who help themselves.

(13) Jesus told his disciples to eat his flesh & drink his blood. Surely not! The blood and guts references are objectionable to decent people. (14) Jesus knew that Judas would betray him before Jesus chose Judas, so why blame Judas? The betrayer had no choice. He was part of God's plan of redemption. (15) Jesus is supposed to have said that no one can come to him unless the Lord draws that person near. Whatever happened to free choice? God must draw everyone.

(16) The first 12 disciples of Jesus were all Jewish men. This is a clear case of discrimination and prejudice. (17) Jesus is quoted to have said that you are either for him or against him, not allowing for the logical alternative of neutrality. (18) In one of his parables, Jesus said the servant who was given one talent buried it because he knew his master was a hard man. The servant was punished. But didn't he act wisely, rather than take a chance?

(19) The Bible presents Jesus as the Prince of Peace. Yet, in the days just before the crucifixion, Jesus told his disciples to arm themselves, according to the Bible. (20) Probably the most frequent thing that Jesus said publicly was, "Woe unto you, Scribes, Pharisees, hypocrites!" This is a blanket statement. Undoubtedly, not all of the Scribes and Pharisees were evil. Shouldn't Jesus have said "many"? (21) Finally, if Jesus said, "The poor you will always have with you," when the woman anointed him with expensive perfume, then he was, at the very least, callous. That is, Jesus did and said these things if you swallow the whole Bible without thinking. There is no perfection in the universe.

In 1987, God performed a triple miracle, which brought net progress to the world for the first time in history. As a result, the Millennium might start in 2014.

Here are some of the events surrounding the miracle: BEFORE. November 1986 was extremely violent throughout the world. The Soviet Union ended its 18-month unilateral ban on nuclear tests on February 26, 1987. THE BIG DAY:  April 05, 1987. AFTER. On April 14, 1987, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev surprised the visiting USA Secretary of State George Shultz by making a new proposal for reducing European missiles. The Cold War began to thaw. The overhaul of the Russian system under Gorbachev started to take shape in June 1987 after 70 years of communism.

We have taken giant steps toward a New World Order. The goal should be democratic socialism in a one-world government. The good news will continue. Following are the words of God which I received a few days after the triple miracle of 4-5-87:

"God averted World War III on Sunday, April 5, 1987. On that day, the Lord neutralized the negative energy forces operating in the universe and eliminated the antiChrist, which was a composite of these forces.

"The negative energy forces were conquered on the 33rd day of Lent, with one week remaining for Jehovah to solve the problem. Yahweh had worked on the dilemma since the beginning of human life. The negative energy forces were moving inexorably toward a catastrophic climax on Palm Sunday (April 12, 1987). This brief, but final event would have been known as World War III.

"The antiChrist did final battle with Jesus the Christ on April 5. It was a clash of knowledge and wisdom. With God's superior resources, I was able to defeat the antiChrist. This composite operated evil systems, including those in religion, government, & business. The antiChrist was not a single person.

"The Lord is the supreme mathematician, physicist, & engineer. This is not to make the Prime Mover seem to be a cold-hearted machine. God is love, but not a sugary, emotional love. Like all other forces that move people, love is found in the mind, not in the heart.  We are loved by God's brain.

"The world's condition will not be magically better all at once. God is giving the solution almost 27 years to work its healing. The Lord will evaluate the improvement on Friday, March 7, 2014, & will decide whether to continue the lives of human beings on Earth. If not here, all people will live in Heaven.

"Improvements that can be expected include stabilizing the aging process, significant advances in health, better balance in personal income, discouragement of competition, purification of the environment, a revolution in education, fair treatment of minorities, more accurate religious teaching, less crime and less military spending, and movement toward a one-world government.

"The April 5 struggle was not noticeable on this planet because it had gone on for so long. God planned the crucifixion & resurrection to satisfy the righteousness of the Lord. Now Jehovah has triumphed over the negative energy-forces (or the antiChrist) to correct flaws which have irritated Yahweh since the beginning. Heaven on Earth is finally possible." — 374 words.
