Some of that sounds like LDS or Scientology....

How do people become “future rulers of the universe”??

That is not Christian

Look in the back of The Book.

In Revelation 20, the tribulation saints reign with Christ over the earth for 1000 years. Having said that, I’ve not read this article and thus can’t comment on it’s contents.

Revelation 20:4
English Standard Version (ESV)
4 Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

GeronL, if you look at 2 Timothy 2:12, there is a very direct reference to reigning with Him. Apart from Revelations, it’s a common theme in the Pauline literature. It’s a reigning through participation which God allows due to faithfulness. It is very much a Christian concept. But, of course, God ultimately reigns over all of creation.

Actually, GeronL, that IS Christian. Not only does St. Paul speak of it, but it’s mentioned in the book of Revelation. Yes, Jesus is the ultimate Lord of the universe, but all believers will one day rule and reign with him in the Thousand Years after Christ’s return to judge the earth. Even St. Paul says, “Do you not realize that we will judge the angels?” in I Corinthians 6:3. And in others of his letters to the churches St. Paul talks about us ruling and reigning with Christ. And this is what Mr. Moore was referring to.
