Have you been searching for the real thing in spirituality and salvation? We hear a lot of talk about it by ministers who are no more saved than the average Joe, sadly. Well, I have begun this FB page to promote the real thing because I have found it myself. I am not talking from theory or rote learning. No! And I want you all to be on that path to real salvation, peace of mind, and being able to fight socialists/ communism and still remain happy! Please give it a like too...if you do like it! Thank you, fabian
Hey:-)
Why is your account banned/suspended?
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
Fabian, here is another thread that goes into the divinity of Jesus Christ:

“I say fast track to salvation...which means really...being a good and right person without any rewards expected. Just wanting to be Godly for His sake. Period. If we try to attract salvation for any selfish reason, it will block Him.”
In response to your comment above:
Salvation by faith or works?
http://www.watchman.org/reltop/paulvs.htm
The works/salvation delusion
https://www.thebereancall.org/node/8569
“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” —Hebrews 4:12
Sitting and doing a silent prayer is not works...you have it all wrong. And there is a big stipulation in order to receive salvation that Jesus himself said.
“I say fast track to salvation...which means really...being a good and right person without any rewards expected...”
Being a God and right person is not good enough. That’s why we need Jesus Christ to save us. This is what Christians believe.
I know why Roy Masters and the Foundation of Human Understanding discourages Bible study. The followers would realize FHU is not a Christian religion. That’s one way cults keep their followers.
“there is a big stipulation in order to receive salvation that Jesus himself said.”
What is it?
“And “be still and know that I am God” is from God..”
The psalm is, but the meditation/self hypnosis exercise is not. It only named after a verse. the manifestation is not Christian.
A “tingly warm feeling” in your right hand is not a sign of salvation, it’s verification to the hypnotist you accept his suggestions.
Roy Masters’ meditation is a trance:

How do I recognize a cult?
http://www.cbn.com/spirituallife/cbnteachingsheets/faq_cult.aspx
“The apostle Paul, writing to the Corinthians, said the psuchikos man, the soulish man, will not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him (see I Corinthians 2:14). Mind control, the Edgar Cayce teachings, and the new age movement all appeal to the soulish man, because they do not require repentance. They do not require being born again. A concept in most of these cults is that if a person gains sufficient knowledge, he can dominate and control the events of the world because he is part of god. He can manipulate god, because he is god. He is part of the universal consciousness, and as he opens himself up to progressive revelations, he in turn is lifted to higher and higher levels of understanding. As he advances, they teach, he gains authority over himself, his body, and those around him.”
More from the previous link:
Practically every cult has certain characteristics that can tell the careful observer that something is wrong.
For instance, what does a group think about Jesus? Jesus Christ is God, Lord of all, the only source of salvation. Invariably, a cult will put something else on an equal footing with Christ. It will have a ritual that is equal to Christ, or it will have a doctrine equal to Christ, or it will have a leader who is equal to Christ. In other words, even if it acknowledges Christ as Savior, it will say that you need something else before you can get into heaven. Cults teach that salvation comes through Christ, plus their little unique way. Some cults do not acknowledge Christ at all. They may make Him coequal with their religious teachers or with certain great men of history. The quickest way to recognize a cult is by its treatment of Jesus.
“A true leader who serves Jesus Christ has one goal, and that is to exalt and manifest Jesus. When someone says he has unique insight into God or is the special one that God has anointed to reach the world, you are dealing with cultic behavior.”
That makes you a follower of a cult, because Jesus repeatedly prayed and was humble towards his Father, God. You guys made our savior a god....cult. Shame on you.
