Benjamin Creme (born in 1922) - From a young age he was a student of the works of Blavatsky and Bailey, (and other occultists). First contacted by The Master (full name undisclosed) in 1959. The Master informed him that he would play a major role in the reappearance of Maitreya the Christ. Formed Share International Foundation in 1975. Since then he has been travelling the globe, speaking and lecturing in preparation for The Christ, and he claims to be in direct telepathic contact with both The Master and Maitreya.
... Share International Foundation is accredited as an official non-governmental organization (NGO) by the United Nations,(8) and the magazine, as stated on the inside cover of each issue, is published by SI "...in association with the Department of Public Information at the United Nations."
Now The Lucis Trust, formerly known as the Lucifer Publishing Company was formed by Alice A. Bailey a Theophsist and disciple of Madame Blavatsky (Helena Petrovna Blavatsky). Blavatsky was the founder of Theosophy and is considered the "mother" of the New Age movement and modern occultism. She taught in her Secret Doctrine that Lucifer was "higher and older than Jehovah. She further expressed in her "great work" that Satan, under different god-names, is really an allegory of "Good, and Sacrifice, a God of Wisdom." Blavatsky believed that Satan was the only god of earth, "is one with the Logos," and is the "cosmic reflection of God.". Blavatsky also equated Lucifer with Jesus Christ.
The Lucis Trust promotes IoNs as one of the "New Group of World Servers". The Lucis Trust are pushing for the establishment of a permanent "Age of Aquarius" ruled by one "christ" figure, "Lord of the Word" or Maitreya (the new age messiah) and a One World Religion
but I made lots of statements (attacks) about ancient religions, and ETs on my pagan sun god thread which many ways affect core areas of Wiccan theology (if that is the right word to use) and it left you absolutely blank minded it seems because you have not answered any of them so I have to take it to mean that my statements were perfectly valid which renders Wicca, at this stage, but a mere crumpled shell.

Well, I would say poor Job was bullied.

Satan challenges God about Job and seeks to test his allegiance to God.
Your making a argument against God when it is His hand of protection that has stayed you from Satan doing the same thing to you and worse.
If you had read the background information I presented on the setting of the cosmic conflict between God and Satan then I should not have to explain again why Satan is able to challenge God ect.
Hmmm, interesting questioning. I have not really thought about this before. My first guess would be that he knows his own abilities and character and that of His creation and is happy to put it to the test. It is kind of a strange question though because Jesus already defeated him, he survived the 3 temptations from Satan at the end of wandering around fasting in the wilderness for 40 days (typology for Israel 40 years wandering the wilderness). The three temptations were typologies of tests that men God raised up to represent Him and His people all stumbled upon (Adam, Noah, Jacob (Israel)).
Not just these three tests though but all throughout Jesus' life
How can you prove that the entire universe needs both the same measure of both love and evil depravity to operate. Does not the action of love create more love in return and the action of evil breds more evil in return? They are not dependent on each other for maintaining stability of the cosmos, if anything they appear inversely correlated.
Thats a bit of a stretch surely
I should add to this about the animals aspect as well...

You make it sound like the accuracy of the King James Bible is solely determined by some 'editors' in the 1500's. Are you not forgetting that the previous 15 centuries of history where people from all various languages had their copies of the original manuscripts as well from the first centuries, distributed initially by the Apostles. That these original 'bibles' were in agreement with each other theologically despite which language it came out in. You think that the theology of KJB does not agree with what is taught in the Syriac text or in the early Serbian church, think again!

You:
That is plain old circular logic, friend. Come on. You do understand the importance of balance, don't you? And that Light cannot exist without Darkness to define it as such?
It is not circular logic, it is rational commonsense....there is no correlation between energy in the form of wavelengths in the visible light spectrum (physics) and concepts of morality/good/evil (philosophy/religion). There is no scientific dependent relationship here where there are limits to how great or sinister something can be with auto-stabilisers if one gets out of whack.
Please explain how things are innately balanced to ensure things don't get out of whack and how the action of love isn't correlated to producing more love (explain any limits on this)...edit on 30-5-2012 by JesuitGarlic because: (no reason given)
