Greetings brother SuperiorEd,
Since this thread seems to be a direct rebuttal to the thread I posted a day before, I feel I must comment on it. Having read it in it’s entirety, I
will give you an A for effort; since it appears you have read the whole of the other thread, but I must give you a D for comprehension, since you
apparently did not understand it.
Because, if you had understood it, you would know that the secret societies were not trying to build a temple of stone or works by their hands, but
were striving to build the Living Temple of the living God by their hearts. The temple they sought to build is not made of brick, mortar and works,
but instead each and every member of humanity is one of it’s stones and when they and their hearts have become trued by justice, righteousness,
compassion and fellowship, then together they can unite and build the living temple, creating a new and better world for all; thereby truly fulfilling
the commandment and prophesy of “They kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
And brother, that does not stand in contradiction to Christ’s message and commandments; that is a fulfillment of them. After all what was Christ’s
message and commandments? It is nothing more or less than for humanity to love one another as brothers and sisters and to unite together as one family
and work for the good of all. After all did he not say:
37 Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the
first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all
the Law and the Prophets.” (Matthew 22:37-40)
and also:
34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my
disciples, if you love one another.” (John 13:34-35)
As you can see brother there is no contradiction in the messages. The message of the other thread and all my threads, have been that humanity must
unite together as one family and work together to solve our problems and Jesus’ message was the same.
Furthermore, your quotes from Barnabas, far from contradicting the other thread reinforce it. After all the Temple of God described in Barnabas is the
same living spiritual temple I spoke of in the other thread. And who rebuilds the temple in Barnabas? Did God not use those who tore it down? Just as
God used those who tore it down to rebuild the outward/physical temple, God will use humanity who tore down the spiritual temple to rebuild it as as
well. And on that day that the spiritual; living temple of the living God is completed, then shall the will and kingdom manifest on earth.
There really is no contradiction only a lack of comprehension.
Peace be with you,
Ehieh Elohim, Anoo Elohim
