Maybe he is an ascended master who has returned to guide the lesser souls.

Well, for starters, I've never once said I have channeled Jesus. I don't do channelings insofar as getting long messages. Someone else on this board made that claim. Second, "my teachings" are what I have learned from others and my own teacher. I share them when an OP poses a question and I give my thoughts on the subject, just like others do. Third, I'm as sane as anyone else on this board. Sometimes though, I think I'm not as God sometimes gives me obstacles that I have a hard time overcomeing.

What I do is I'm just a normal person on this board like anyone else sharing my thoughts with things I have been taught. I've never once said anyone had to believe any of it and I've never once said anyone will go to hell or not see God if they don't read what I know to be true through my own experiences.

If you want to comprehend what I have learned, I can give you everything I learn from. It's not a secret nor is it meant to be kept from anyone. When we don't open our minds to every possibility that is out there, whether it's in our own mainstream or someone elses, we can get left in the dark on a lot of things, including God and Heaven.

Well your post sounded very reasonable and I'm thinking I may have misunderstood some of your earlier posts so I apologize if I sounded a little harsh in my questions to you. Thanks for your response.

Do you consider yourself a Unititarian? I salute your humbleness and down-to-earth ways. May you be chosen by God to have the half-lifted veil fully unveiled

Can someone explain to me why church owns "love"?

Someone made long list things that are church-owned:

"spirituality"
"moral standards"
"worldview"
"meaning of life"
"purpose of life"
...

It's like a fake medicine label.

They are similar. When I asked my mentor what I should say if someone asked, I was told Divine Love Christian. Our beliefs lie in the lessons that Jesus taught while He lived on earth. Those teachings are based on Divine Love.
We are told to pray for Divine Love so that we may open our souls to higher truths and become Divine ourselves. I have experieinced this and know it to be true. All messages we get are from highly developed spirits. Only those qualified and under close watch by the Celestials, can channel dark spirits in order to learn of hell. We don't mess with magic, fortune telling or conjuring things or beings. We only promote Love, free will, God and the brotherhood of man. The teachings are life lessons for here and in the spirit world.

Church's don't own anything other than their church building.

Though a non-christian myself, i somehow doubt your form of christianity will be accepted by the mainstream. Is there a role for Satan in your perception of christianity? My question is what about those who don't accept let's say traditional christianity or have not heard of the religion? What will happen to them?

If you have not been shown love, you will have difficulty learning to love. Love is something that is learned over time. True love requires total unselfishness. Love is difficult to feel or understand ifor someone who is selfish.
