Donations Part 1: the chapters concerning the steps in the Gospels: INTRODUCTION into the purpose and use of this text. For 2000 years, - including previous prophecies several thousand years more – people have vouched for their manifold and direct experiences with Jesus Christ again and again. 3 In spite of their varying characters and various religious, philosophical and scientific contexts, they show some mutual perceptions, independently from each other. They also speak about the possibility for others to prepare themselves for similar experiences. New abilities for people and the world can also be seen through Jesus Christ, far exceeding mere cultural and historical bounds. Here these steps of growth are explored in a new way. In the 12th century the Abbot Joachim di Fiore prophesied an "Era of the Holy Spirit", in which such individual relationships to God, independent of institutions, would become common property. Today, several endeavours are spreading worldwide that not only search for Christ taking shape in the individual, but also see the individual as a cell more and more consciously in the "body of Christ". In this context the awaited "Second Coming" and our "apocalyptic" time cannot be understood as a simple reincarnation with its circumstances, but as a much more comprehensive scenario. Nevertheless one can suspect some similarities in the development 2000 years ago and this present time scenario - which must not lead to a catastrophe. This work tries to answer the question of the new specific possibilities of development in the various areas of life, since Jesus lived 2000 years ago. This contribution is composed as an impulse. Especially these days, • when the phenomenon Jesus Christ is claimed by many different theologies (see below) and dogmas, by linguistic, historically-critical, archaeological and palaeographical, religious- sociological and psychological, scientific, political ways of looking at it, • when, as in the time of early christianity, a manifold spiritual scene rose in society beside an old materialistic mainstream – that created both bridges and frontiers between them and christianity, • when the most confusing situations occur,e.g. several reputedly incarnated "Jesus Christs"; and when problematic and negative incidents occur in the name of Christ, it can be interesting, to investigate, what the real contribution of Christ might be: This project starts with some of our own inner experiences and other mystic sources, etc. The viewpoints used are interdisciplinary ones, from many areas of knowledge and experience - not only theological ones. From this spiritual point of view, no attempt is made to distract people from social and political consciousness with some kind of pseudo-inwardness. Of course the dogmas of the mechanistic scientific thought of the 19th century cannot be accepted as limitations of view; neither can the eastern considerations, that there is nothing, which has not already been described in the ancient Indian vedic scriptures and that Jesus is nothing but a - probably third class – teacher of them, cannot be accepted as a limitation of thought. These realizations are not derived from the books compared in the text or in a planned list of other books for more theologically interested persons; reading "Ways of Christ" does not require knowing these books or having previous theological knowledge. Nothing is meant as a dogma or as an opinion of any religious organisation in the world. Nothing is directed against any church, religious or spiritual group, or against the Apostles' Creed. People who relate themselves to another religious or ideological background, but who are positively interested in new insights of a Christian approach, neither trivial nor superficial, can find this here too. It also points out the relationship between a Christian Path and other inclinations. Just as John's Gospel portrays the specific Christian way in a language understandable for the seekers of wisdom of that time, this work makes Christianity similarly accessible from various sides. The style of this document also lets the mind of the reader be free. Research & exploration are different to missionary work. Nevertheless, also Christians who prefer a simple belief to profound considerations may learn from this text, e.g. how to communicate with the people of other beliefs without constant misunderstandings. 4 The text should speak for itself. "I still have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of the truth comes, he will guide you into all truth" (John 16:12-13). Ways of Christ draws inspiration from this spirit. Methodical tips: Christian meditation. One form is meditating on the Gospels. The next 37 chapters follow the various steps in the Gospels and the Revelation. One can read single chapters or, better still, the chapters in this sequence for more insight. Bible Study, i.e. reading and working through the texts and their meanings, is only one method. During the study of the Gospels the chapters of the main text of "ways-of-christ. net" and, last but not least, God can contribute to a deeper understanding. Anyone who is more closely interested in a holistic approach - including the neglected parts of our soul - can read and meditate on the chapter, e.g. of the Gospel of John and then study the chapter of the main text of "ways-of-christ.net". This web page is a continuous text. Its chapters can also be accessed via the table of contents. In order to study it, it will be helpful to print the text: the main text around 80 pages, dependent on the settings of the browser and the printer.

  • Automatic Writing and the Book of Mormon: an Update
    ARTICLES AND ESSAYS AUTOMATIC WRITING AND THE BOOK OF MORMON: AN UPDATE Brian C. Hales At a Church conference in 1831, Hyrum Smith invited his brother to explain how the Book of Mormon originated. Joseph declined, saying: “It was not intended to tell the world all the particulars of the coming forth of the Book of Mormon.”1 His pat answer—which he repeated on several occasions—was simply that it came “by the gift and power of God.”2 Attributing the Book of Mormon’s origin to supernatural forces has worked well for Joseph Smith’s believers, then as well as now, but not so well for critics who seem certain natural abilities were responsible. For over 180 years, several secular theories have been advanced as explanations.3 The more popular hypotheses include plagiarism (of the Solomon Spaulding manuscript),4 collaboration (with Oliver Cowdery, Sidney Rigdon, etc.),5 1.

  • Symbolic Images of the Bible Exlained in the New
    SYMBOLIC IMAGES OF THE BIBLE EXLAINED IN THE NEW REVELATION THROUGH JAKOB LORBER AND GOTTFRIED MAYERHOFER (ref: www.the-new-revelation.weebly.com , www.hisnewword.org ) The facts that the known Scriptures and especially The Old Testament are spiritually encoded, that people need divine revelation to understand them, that such revelation happened when the Lord Himself explained them to His disciples and that there will come a time when He will bring His wisdom to the people in plain language are all clearly pointed in both the Old and the New Testament. We thus invite you to investigate some Bible verses pointing to the following: GOD'S MYSTERIOUS WISDOM IS TO BE REVEALED BY HIS SPIRIT. MEN KNOW NOTHING FROM THEMSELVES. THE OLD TESTAMENT IS VEILED. THE LORD OPENED IT FOR HIS DISCIPLES. PLAIN LANGUAGE PROMISED BY THE LORD IN BOTH THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT i (please press the roman letter at the end of the previous paragraph to see the relevant Bible verses and same to come back to the beginning/ titles list) * The previous references being noted, we will add here a collection of explanations of the spiritually encoded prophetic language of the Bible as they can be found in the New Revelation. However, please consider that this is far from being exhaustive and also that the meanings of God’s eternal and infinite words are not to be seen as restricted to just these short explanations that are given as basic instruction for Lord’s people. It is definitely, of great importance to study the Scripture in the light of these disclosures and observe how much, as a result of that, the understanding of the messages of the old prophets and Revelation increases as also the consistency between them and the teachings of Jesus; this is indeed a most compelling demonstration that God (and the God of the entire Bible) is the same yesterday, today and forever (Heb 13:8) and that the spirit of prophecy is nothing else but a testimony of the Jesus (Rev 19:10).

  • True Prophets False Prophets
    About TRUEE PROPHETS and FALSE PROPHETS (Ed.. 1) Excerpts from THE NEW REVELATION of JESUS CHRIST www..new-revelation..ro THE NEW REVELATION From 1840 to 1864, and from 1870 to 1877, JESUS CHRIST dictated to the Austrian musician Jakob Lorber and to German Gottfried Mayerhofer the greatest and largest spiritual message ever offered to humanity. The revelations were received by the two scribes of the Lord through Inner Word, meaning Lorber and later, Mayerhofer heard them very clearly in the region of their heart and wrote them faithfully down, without adding any personal contribution. They were perfectly awake, they didn´t experience any states of altered consciousness, nor were they some mediums for automatic writing whose hands were guided by a spirit-entity. 1 The writings of Lorber and Mayerhofer, comprising tens of volumes are known as THE NEW REVELATION, the extraordinary spiritual teaching that JESUS CHRIST brought to mankind, almost 2000 years after his earthly life. This collection of excerpts (which, of course, doesn’t cover the whole range of the revelations concerning the subject of true and false prophets) can be in-depth studied in order to discover not only the perfect harmony with the two divine commandments of love for God and neighbor, but also with many other prophecies and revelations stated in the Bible. “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” (Matthew 24:13- 14) „And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.” (Luke 4:4) “Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

This Heavenly Father embodied Himself in Jesus Christ about 2,000 years ago and did not manifest Himself as Savior and Teacher until age 30, for three years. The spirit friends of the Divine Revelation recognize in this eternal declaration a new and great Word of God and aim to achieve a joyful mutual exchange. SELF-EXAMINATION - SELF-EXAMINATION In this Edition: Bulletin in a new guise. Investigated for you. Luther Bible or Vulgate. Coronavaccine. Contents of the Great John Gospel in a nutshell. Splinter or beam in the eye. Bulletin in a new guise. Yes, as you can see: "The bulletin is restyled". Thanks to a Dutch Lorber reader. Adriaan from the Netherlands. Adriaan V. from B. wrote us the following: "Thank you for your bulletin! Always nice to hear from Lorber friends! To make a more print- friendly bulletin, I ask you to reduce the margins and use less color. The white between the chapters can also be reduced. Page numbers would be nice too. If you want, I can make an outline for a template for you. Complete with illustrations. " Yes, in the meantime we made some calls and have corresponded back and forth. And this will be the result. And that is quite something. Fantastic layout !! I am very happy with this. And… Adriaan did this for us free of charge, completely in the service and in the spirit of Jakob Lorber.

Unfortunately, the Christian churches and sects generally reject divine revelations to humanity for the reason that God has already told us with the Bible everything necessary for our salvation. The goal and the purpose of the divine revelations are the following: 1. To confirm the true teachings of the Holy Scriptures and to re- emphasize and recall the core message; 2.
