Guilt Vs. Grace

          I am going to begin by saying that ALL are born saved.  The ONLY way to lose one's salvation is to take a human life, including that of one's own.   There are many churches that emphasize guilt before Grace.  And of course, many churches wouldn’t exist if they didn’t emphasize guilt.  The idea is that one has to have guilt before one can experience Grace.  Actually, while some might say that what I have to is from Satan, it isn’t.  In fact, I would say that in theological terms, there really is no such thing as guilt.  The only feelings for which one really needs to have any guilt about having are the feelings of fear, anger, and hatred.  These are feelings that really need to produce guilt in the lives of anyone.  Why?  These feelings are totally unnecessary.   They are from Satan and will lead one to do one of two things:  Being unforgiving and perhaps becoming inclined to murder because of these feelings.

            Now, I left out the feeling of depression, because I believe that depression is nothing more than self-imposed guilt for whatever it is that one feels guilty about and I believe that guilt in its ugliest form will cause one to not be able to live with his or her shame.  Therefore, depression is dangerous not from what it will do to others, but from what it will do to oneself.  Heaping guilt on one who is battling depression only adds further to more depression and depression then can lead to suicide. 

            So, what I am suggesting is that ALL are saved who have not taken a human life, but at any point anyone can take the life of another or the life of oneself.  And these are the two sins God will NOT forgive.  Therefore, I am suggesting that guilt isn’t necessary for one to have God’s salvation.  Guilt is only necessary when one seeks to do harm to others and that in fact, when one seeks to do harm to oneself, the guilt is so heavily self-imposed that what it takes is for another to understand why the guilt is there in the first place.  Many people WANT to go to church and belong to a fellowship of some kind, but many don’t want to go to church just to feel guilt for the same sins week after week.  This is my biggest complaint about the ministry of churches mostly because I have asked myself as to how much guilt I am supposed to have before I experience the Grace of God.  And at what point then do we experience the Grace of God if guilt is what leads us to that Grace in the first place?  So, I would suggest that guilt isn’t important unless one seeks to do harm to others and when one seeks to do harm to oneself, the guilt is so great on oneself that it takes another to understand why the guilt is there.

            Then there are those who are the murderers in this world who have to live with a lot of guilt or perhaps none at all, and there is nothing I am able to do to bring these people salvation.  They ARE guilty in the eyes of God and WILL be condemned either at the time the Messiah comes or when they pass away from this earth.  And there is nothing I can do nor is there anything anyone can do to bring salvation to those who are the murderers of this world. 

            So, I ask myself that in light of my experience with the Angels as to what it is God would ask of me.  I am not going to be able to rid the world of guilt, but at the same time the imposition of guilt on anyone isn’t necessary either unless one has already taken a human life.  Does this make me a Libertine?  I think in the thinking of some it does, but the fact that the only way for anyone to lose his or her salvation is to take a human life or commit suicide. So, I see my purpose in life to spread the Message that Jesus is the Prince of ALL Peace, but that too, there has to be a sense of inner Peace as well.  And the only way to do that is to simply be able to say to anyone that he or she is saved as long as he or she has NOT taken a human life.  Some have suggested that what I proclaim the Angels have told me pretty much does away with the Church.  No, I would say that it pretty much does away with Guilt and EMPHASIZES the Grace of God.  This is what I would say to the world.  Then I would say that there is NO Grace of ANY kind for anyone who has taken a human life.  I would say that the Grace of God extends to those who wish to do harm to themselves because of their self-imposed guilt and that they are free to live without worrying about the Grace of God unless he or she has taken a human life.  There is nothing I can do for the guilty, but I can do everything to at least prevent guilt where guilt isn’t necessary.  No one needs guilt in order to be saved and this is part of the Message of the Angels.  Peace.
