“The Trojan Horse pope has triumphed and Catholicism is
dead! From this day forward forever redefined as a non-centralized,
liberal, individualized, virtually non-aligned collection of
non-religious sects . . .”
“What Is – What Was –
What is Man-made – What is From Father and His Son Jesus Christ”
cji 9/10/17
If one were to
literally believe the Scriptures it ‘Catholicism’ was dead on arrival – a man-made
religion based on Greek Philosophy mixed with some doctrine (less than 5%) –
controlled by Emperors and great armies. Both Augustine and Origen were
scholars from the schools of Greek Rhetoric – without either authority or keys –
teaching the logismoi of men/women without comprehension of the Scriptures.
Paul foretold all of the events following the apostasy of the Church as
organized by Jesus Christ – and after the death of Ignatius (about 150AD)
(note: not to be confused with the gnostic Ignatius about 100 years later) –
there was no more authority on the European/Asian/African Continents. In the
Western world (American Continents) the last Apostle passed away about 461AD.
(Note: These do not include John (the beloved) or the Three Nephite Prophets;
all of whom are still here). The knowledge which leads to light is here – we’ve
just to seek it out as pointed out in James 1:5.
Understanding what is needful – i.e. what all of the
Prophets of Old have foretold from both the Old Testament and the New Testament
– there can always only be one (1) true Church on this Earth at a time. For
only can have the authority and keys to receive the Revelation needed for all.
Any other church so organized with authority or keys would already be dead. One
cannot take a living branch from a dead tree. The Church as the Savior
organized it in the meridian of time – was foretold to Apostatize and therefore
no longer to have the authority or keys on this earth – therefore to be dead. Since
all other organized religions claim ties to this original Church (with the
exception of other previous man-made religions) then they are found to be
branches from a dead tree. Therefore reformation cannot restore the authority
and keys – only the Father and the Son can do this – which was prophesied by
again almost every Prophet which we’ve writings preserved from and those we
only know about by their reference by these Prophets. Each of the dispensations
where the Gospel of Jesus Christ has been on this earth has come and gone with
the soul exception of the current one on Earth at this time. The current
dispensation was Restored by the Father and the Son in the early 1800’s on the
American Continent. Organized in 1830 with only six members in upstate NY – it has
grown till today with over 15.8 million members worldwide. The Church is called
by the name of Jesus Christ as was his Church in the meridian of time – with the
added; The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for its name.
Greek Philosophy was much easier to understand and accept –
which was based on rhetoric which is usually mixed with myth, facts, falsehood
and whatever would appeal to the masses (i.e. those small percentage of
literate and free people of either Greece or the immediate world). Religion was
never intended for those in slavery or lower classes – and in most cases with
no time off without the ability to organize or find time to worship. Even today
Greek Philosophy is more accepted than the eternal truths of the Holy
Scriptures. Men/women profess a belief but only verbally as most do not obey
even the simplest of the Commandments. Or if they do it is with
over-zealousness so that others will notice them in their extremes. Many of the
known churches today randomly change doctrines to meet the worldly appeasements
to keep people coming into their doors. Remember all churches founded of by
men/women have to be funded with a paid clergy – thus if one is paid they’ve to
teach that which those who’re paying want to hear. This of course leads to a
conflict of interest for the clergy cannot vary from the scripted texts
published in volumes of books over the time of the lifespan of their particular
creeds. They’ve been educated at schools of divinity and gained their license
from the governments of men/women. Even when they know what they’re teaching
isn’t common sense doctrine or in variation from the Scriptures they cannot deviate.
To deviate would be to lose their positions and source of making a living.
Augustine and Origen are known for the founders of modern
day Christianity; Augustine in the Roman or Western sphere and Origen in the
Eastern sphere or Constantinople. Respectfully both good and honorable men who
trying their best to reconcile what they could not understand in the literal
Scriptures ad-libbed with rhetoric and the Greek Philosophy. Even to the point
of having slaughtered those who clung to the original teachings of the
Prophets.
Augustine (https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1GGRV_enUS751US751&q=augustine&oq=Augus&gs_l=psy-ab.1.0.0i46i67k1j46i67k1l2j0i131k1j0l2.2341.3995.0.7465.5.5.0.0.0.0.118.546.1j4.5.0..3..0...1.1.64.psy-ab..0.5.544...0i67k1j0i20i46k1j46i20k1j0i20k1.L_og7y263iY) was raised by his mother a singularly good
woman and with strong Christian beliefs from the original Church. However, he
rejected these beliefs for the greater part of his life seeking for something
more understandable. His life was scattered with membership in various sects
and blending of belief systems. However, he was a rhetorician – studying it for
many years (some say 15+) and then teaching it for about the same amount of
time. He was constantly seeking for something he could believe. His influences
were many and his confidence took in much more than just his local
responsibilities. Yet in the end when he accepted Christianity is was with the
reserves that the Scriptures had dual meanings and he took the path of least
resistance to giving new interpretations as doctrines. (Note: much is written
herein and elsewhere about him – so much so to document it all would take much
more space and time than which most of us have. Suffice it to say – all of what
I put forth is documented and even the least of scholars or researchers can
easily find.) After coming upon his powerful position in order to convert those
of the old schools of Christianity he allowed them to be put to death as they
would not give up their old traditions. One thing of note even in his
latter-years he was still hoping for at least one revelation from God.
Origen

known as being fully honest and truthful held to and taught many of the truths
of the Scriptures and was therefore never ‘Sainted’ being called a heretic. Yet
what he did do was both influential in Greek Orthodoxy (even today). However,
after his death much of what he did was rejected and the secular world took
over his beginnings. He was known as Adamantius
("man of steel") (again he said what he knew and acknowledged
what he did not – and also stated what he believed but was not able to
document). Much of what is left of his legacy has him closely tied to Plato and
Clement of Alexandria Therefore we find the Greek Philosophy in his teachings
and thus the doctrines of Greek Orthodoxy.

The Guide to the Scriptures
In chapters 1 and 2, Paul
expressed regret at the news he had received of apostasy among
the Galatians and clarified his position among the Apostles. Chapters 3 and 4
discuss the doctrines of faith and works. Chapters 5 and 6 contain a sermon on
the practical results of the doctrine of faith.
One needs to reconcile
themselves with what is true and what is not. Even the least amount of gray is
not from the Father or his only begotten Son Jesus Christ. There is no
confusion, contention, mystery, guile in the teachings of the true Prophets
and/or the Father or the Son. It is common sense and truthful! We need to heed
the warnings and prophecies handed down then and now (as we’ve a living Prophet
on this Earth in this day – Thomas S. Monson) for the Kingdom of God has been
Restored – for he could not return to his Kingdom were it not restored. In the
Lord’s Prayer what is prayed for: “Our Father in
heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth
as it is in heaven.” Everyone is praying for this to happen
when it already has!

Old Testament
14¶Now therefore fear the Lord ,
and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your
fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the
Lord .
15And if it seem evil unto you to
serve the Lord , choose you this day whom ye will serve ; whether the gods
which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods
of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house , we will
serve the Lord .
This applies to us in this day – choosing either the god’s of
men/women in their creeds which make little sense to the Scriptures and without
full obedience to the Commandments; or to Our Heavenly Father and his Son Jesus
Christ and their chosen Prophets and Apostles in these latter-days? We each
have the agency to do whatever we want – to believe whatever we want – but it
is wise to know what the price is for our beliefs. There’s a story told that
after the end of WW2 – in a public square there was a young man standing on a
box preaching agnosticism when he was approached by an elderly lady. She asked,
“What have I to lose if I follow my beliefs in Jesus Christ if you’re correct?”
Without waiting for a reply she answered, “Nothing!” Then she continued what
have you to lose if I’m right and you’re wrong?” Quiet ensued and the young man
answered, “Everything!” We too are held to the answer of this question – if the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Restored Church with all of
the authority and keys – which I believe – what have I to lose if the rest of
the world is correct and I’m wrong, nothing!
However, if I’m right (which I testify to as being true) what have those
of the world to lose?
Paul
taught in the Baptism for the Dead – the Savior taught of the Sealing power
given to the Apostles (what is Sealed in earth – is Sealed in Heaven – what is
not Sealed in earth is not Sealed in Heaven). Malachi taught “Behold I will
send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of
the Lord: and he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the
heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a
curse.”
Peter
taught that husband and wife are to heirs together forever – how can this be if
they are not Sealed for Time and all Eternity by one having authority and the
keys to do so?
One
has to read the Scriptures – pray calling upon Heavenly Father to know if they’re
true – with a contrite heart, humbled and repentant – to know the truth of all
things – precept upon precept – thus to know the difference between the
teachings/wisdom of men/women and Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. There is no
other way – the Holy Ghost will validate the truth of all things!
We’ve
to understand fully any church formed by men/women regardless of where or when
or how old or how many belong was (or is) dead on arrival. One cannot take a
living branch from a dead tree. All the writings in the world cannot change
this simple fact. And further one cannot create anything out of nothing –
matter requires matter – ask a five year old – he/she will tell you it cannot
be done expect as the king’s new clothes which never existed.
Answer
the questions in the title - “What Is – What Was – What is Man-made – What is
From Father and His Son Jesus Christ” then you’ll be on your way to understand
the principles of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Which in his name I close this
writing – even Jesus the Christ amen – c/ork

the Atonement so that ‘death’ could be removed from those who inhabited this
earth – each and every one – none excluded – with the exception of those who
through disobedience to the Commandments have found to excluded themselves from
eternal life in the Celestial Kingdom (spoken of by Paul – and throughout the

“Altruistic Logic is where one understands whatever reason one
does something for – when questioned will always be for an Altruistic logic or

altruistic.” cji 12/2/15
“Just like faith once we understand a truth – it moves from
faith to knowledge/light – the same as wisdom when we learn something we store
