"You who dwell in the garden, my companions are listening for your voice; let me hear it. Make haste, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag upon the mountains of spices." (Song of Songs Chapter 8 verse 13)


This page is written to answer the question ‘just what then it is that you preach...' Call it my ‘statement of faith', and the proclamation of the gospel that I preach. To distinguish myself from the gospel my ancestors preached, a gospel which I do not preach, being rather a citizen of Holy Eden, I plan to use the device of preaching what I will call the ‘gospel of Manuel the peasant' for reasons which should become obvious as I go along. (Note that as of June 2002, 68 Columbian union organizers have been assasinated by death squads in 2002...) Also, on the United Church site ... Death squads return to work in Guatemala



"Ceasar crucifies slaves, but God raises slaves from the dead."



"Burn your whole offerings and eat the flesh yourselves, for on the day that I brought your ancestors out of Egypt, I gave them no instructions or commands concerning whole offerings and sacrifice...How can you say, 'We are wise, for we have the Torah', when actually, the lying pen of the scribes had it falsified.' Jeremiah Chapters 7 and 8. Jeremiah rejects the Moses myth and Leviticus



Now I say, I am not crazy, no, not in the least. I am quite sane. Rather what you see beginning to unfold here is what the prophecies found included in the book named Joel referred to when it was written, ‘In the last days, says YAHWEH, I will pour out my Spirit on all humanity, and your sons and daughters shall become prophets, your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams. I will pour out my Spirit in those days and they shall prophecy. I will show portents in the sky above , and signs on the earth below - blood and fire and a pall of smoke (a great burnt offering in the mountains). The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before that great, resplendent day, the day of YAHWEH shall come. And everyone who calls on YAHWEH, the God of Eden, on that day shall be saved.

Therefore, people, hear me : I am speaking of Manuel the peasant of Columbia, who was singled out by God, and is now being made known to you (for although your ancestors gave him a Greek name, and spoke of him, they did not know him or comprehend or understand, and so now you are hearing of him for the first time today.) He is being revealed and made known to you through portents, the signs and the wonders which YAHWEH is even now beginning to work through him in your presence.

By the deliberate will and sovereign power of YAHWEH, Manuel the Columbian peasant was given into your power, the power of your nations, and you killed him, using the heathen death squads to have him machine gunned and his corpse bulldozed into a ditch. But YAHWEH God raised him to life again, setting him free from the pain of death, because Manuel was innocent of any wrong doing, and only preached liberation, so therefore it could not be that death should keep him in its grip.

Now Manuel has been raised from the dead. Of that I am a witness, and he has been exalted by YAHWEH. Let all humanity and the entire church then be certain that YAHWEH has made this Manuel the Columbian peasant , this same Manuel whom you had tortured and machine gunned, both Liberator and Savior. Therefore, repent and save yourselves from this wicked age in which you have lived all your lives.

Now Manuel did not send me to baptize people, but rather to proclaim the gospel and to do it without recourse to skills of rhetorical argument lest the torture and murder of Manuel the Columbian peasant be robbed of its effect. Now the message of Manuel's murder is sheer folly to the ruthless and the oppressors who head down a path of destruction, but to those who are on the path to salvation it is the very power of God. As it was said, ‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and bring to nothing the cleverness of the clever. Where then is your wise person now, your learned, the subtle debater of this present age? God has made all the wisdom in the world look completely foolish. For as YAHWEH ordained the world failed to find God in its wisdom but rather God chose by the folly of the gospel of Manuel the murdered peasant to save all those who simply have faith. Yes Jews and Christians look for signs, and the nations demand wisdom, but we proclaim Manuel the tortured and murdered Columbian peasant, and though this is considered a disgusting offense by both religious Jews and Christians, and though the nations consider it all stupid nonsense and supreme folly to even consider something which they consider atrociously stupid, to those of us who have been called Manuel is the power of God, the wisdom of God, the justice of God, the message of God, and the glory glory glory of God. God has made Manuel the tortured peasant our wisdom and our righteousness for in Manuel God to chose to have dwelling in complete fullness every glorious and wonderful thing.

Yes the folly of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength. Well just think of what kind of people they are whom God has called. Few of them are of noble birth, most of them are peasants like Manuel, few are wise by any human standard, few powerful or some kind of noble birth. Yet to shame the wise God has chosen what the world counts foolishness and utter folly and to shame what is strong, YAHWEH has chosen what the world counts weak and of no account. YAHWEH has chosen the things without any rank or standing in the world, mere nothings, and has used them to overthrow the established order. So then there is no point of pride here, for it is by YAHWEH's work that you are in Manuel; God has made Manuel our wisdom, and in him we have our righteousness, our holiness, and our liberation, so if anyone must boast, let them boast of Manuel! We have no need to practice cunning or twist and distort the message of God, but rather it is by telling the plain and simple truth openly that we commend ourselves to the consciences of our fellow human beings.

We may be weak, but this only proves that the power is YAHWEH's, and YAHWEH's alone. Each day we face the persecution and death that Manuel died, so that in this body also the life that Manuel lives may be revealed. For Manuel's sake we are all our life being handed over to death, so that life of Manuel may be revealed in this mortal body of ours as well, so that while death may be at work in us, life may be at work in you.

So my friends, I come to you without any pretense of eloquence or wisdom in declaring to you the simple truth about God. Indeed, I have my mind firmly made up that I am not going to know anything while I am among you except Manuel, and him tortured and murdered. I came to you in weakness and great fear. The gospel I preach does not work to convince you by swaying you with clever arguments but rather it carries with it the conviction of spiritual power, so that your faith might be based not on human wisdom but rather on the mighty power of YAHWEH. An unspiritual person rejects the spiritual truths about God - they seem like ridiculous folly to them because they must be judged spiritually. But a spiritual person can judge the worth of anything and is not subject to any judgment in their own person, for we possess the mind of Manuel. Therefore, make no mistake about it, if there is anyone out there who considers themselves according to the standards of this present world, you would be better to become a complete fool like myself, so that you might become really wise, for the wisdom of this world is folly in the sight of YAHWEH. For as it was said, God traps the wise in their own cunning and understands that all those arguments of the wise people are quite simply completely worthless and futile at the end the day.

Now you religious people, hear this. YAHWEH, the God of your ancestors, has given the highest of honors to Manuel the Columbian peasant, whom you religious people disowned, letting him fall into the hand of Emperor, yes some of you even demanding his trial and execution - you disowned the holy and righteous one. Instead you reprieved the despots and the murderers, and killed the Prince of Life. But YAHWEH raised him from the dead, and of that I am a witness. Now I know quite well that before today you have never heard of Manuel, and that you have acted in ignorance, as have so many of your preachers, but this is what God foretold through so many former prophets, that Manuel would have to suffer. Repent now, therefore, so that your sins might be wiped out. Then YAHWEH may grant you a time of recovery, and send the Liberator appointed for you, that is Manuel the Columbian Peasant. When YAHWEH raised up God's servant he was sent first to you, to bring a blessing to you people in the churches, by turning everyone of you from your wicked ways.

As it was said, ‘Why did the nations rage and the people hatch their futile plots. The kings of the earth took their stand and the rulers made common cause against YAHWEH God and against the Liberator, Manuel the machine gunned Peasant.' They did indeed make common cause against Manuel whom YAHWEH has appointed as your Liberator. And now YAHWEH mark your threats, and enable those who speak your word to do so with all boldness. Stretch out your mighty hand and cause signs and portents to be done through the name of your Holy Servant, Manuel the Liberator.

The Gospel I preach is the gospel that was announced before hand through the prophets of YAHWEH, concerning Manuel, who on the human level was, of course, just a Columbian peasant and the descendant of Columbian peasants, but on the spiritual level was declared Child of YAHWEH through an act of power when YAHWEH raised him from the dead. As the psalmist wrote, ' I will tell of the decree of YAHWEH. God said to me, 'You are my child. This day I have begotten thee. Ask and I will give you anything, from the rivers of the Euphrates to the ends of the earth. You, Manuel, will rule over the nations with a rod of iron. You will smash them in pieces like a clay pot.' Psalm 2

Through Manuel I received an apostolic commission to bring all nations to faith in his name and to obedience to the Law of YAHWEH. As you can see, even now divine retribution is seen to be at work, falling from heaven on the impiety and wickedness of people who because of their own wickedness deliberately suppress the truth about YAHWEH, for the truth about YAHWEH is quite clear to them, for YAHWEH is making it quite clear to them. Such conduct is therefore indefensible, for knowing YAHWEH they have refused to honor God as being God, and thus their thinking ends in futility, and God has handed them over to their own vile desires.

Now I have at least hopes of better things from you, but if it is the case that you yourself do the very same thing, will you then presume to sit in judgment upon them? Therefore, what shall we say? Are Christians any better off? Not at all. For as it was said, everyone is trapped in the grip of their sins. There is no one to do what is righteous, no, not one. No one to show kindness, no, not one. Now the words of the indictment, we know, are addressed to those who have sinned, and thus come under the law, so that every tongue should be silent before God and the entire planet may be exposed to God's judgments, as one of your own prophets said.

But now, quite independently of the law, the righteousness of God has been made known; it is active through faith in Manuel the Columbian peasant for all who have such faith - all, without distinction. For all alike have sinned and lived lives deprived and separated from the Divine Glory of God, sold into slavery to sinful ways, and all are freely justified once again through the simple act of God's free gift of grace alone, through YAHWEH's act of liberation in the person of Manuel the Columbian Peasant. For God intended Manuel to be the means of getting rid of sin through his murder by the death squads, effective through faith. In this way God meant to demonstrate justice, and also forbearance for the previous sins had been overlooked - to demonstrate the wonderful justice of YAHWEH now, in the present, showing that God is in fact just, but will also justify anyone who puts their faith in Manuel the murdered Columbian peasant. So then our argument is that people are justified by just this kind of faith quite apart from any question of keeping the law. Do you suppose that YAHWEH is the God of the Christians only? Is YAHWEH not the God of all nations, as well? Certainly, and God will justify the Christian by their faith in Manuel and also the nations through the very same faith. Does this faith mean that somehow we are using faith to destroy the law of justice and righteousness? No, for by this faith we uphold and glorify the law.



Now if someone is sinless, then wages are paid as their due, but if someone who had done wrong simply puts faith in the one who acquits the wrong doer then their faith is considered to be an act of righteousness. Happy are those whose law breaking deeds are forgiven and the ones whose sin YAHWEH does not count against them. It was while we were still helpless and trapped in an endlessly repeating cycle of sin and guilt that, at the appointed time, Manuel was machine gunned and shed his blood for the wicked. Even for a just and fair person, no person would hardly want to die, but in the death of Manuel there is proof of YAHWEH's love for humanity. For if we were reconciled to God through the murder of Manuel how much more will be saved by Manuel's life?

Thanks be to YAHWEH who continually leads those of us who believe as captives in Manuel's triumphal procession, and uses us to spread abroad the fragrance of the knowledge of YAHWEH. We indeed are the incense offered by Manuel to God. To the ruthless and the oppressor we are like a rotting stench, a deadly fume that brings death, but to those on the road to salvation we are like a vital fragrance that brings life.

Therefore I reckon that the sufferings we have had to endure are like nothing when compared to the glory, as yet unrevealed, which is in store for all of us. The creation is waiting with groans, for the revelation of the Children of YAHWEH. Creation was made subject to frustration not of its own choice but rather according to the will of God who subjected it, yet with the hope of freedom and glorious liberation from its shackles. God has ordained us to share in the likeness of Manuel, so that Manuel might be the first brother of a very large family. With this in mind, since YAHWEH is for us, who can be against us? Who will bring a charge against those YAHWEH has chosen? Who will pronounce judgment. Not Manuel, who was murdered, or rather who raise from the dead and pleads our cause. Then what can possibly separate us from the love of Manuel the Columbian peasant? Can affliction or hardship, persecution or danger. I am convinced that there is nothing in heaven or on earth that can ever separate us from the love of God in Manuel the Columbian peasant, our Liberator.

Now I am speaking the truth here - my constant wish and prayer has always been for the Christians, and my own Spirit assures me that I do not lie when I tell you that I have always had an unceasing torment and sorrow in my heart for them. Theirs were the promises, theirs the covenant, in them was hidden the Liberator. Now given the state of the church, can it be that God has failed. Is it not rather as YAHWEH says, ‘I will have mercy on whom I chose to have mercy.' Thus salvation does not depend on human effort or human will or the religious works of salvation that Christians do, but rather simply on God's mercy. Then what can we say? The nations, who made no effort, achieved righteousness, while the churches who made great efforts to come up with a system of religious duties and actions that would result in salvation and righteousness, never did attain to it. You see the Churches stumbled over the stumbling stone and sought salvation through their work of religion, believing and preaching that salvation was a matter for their will to decide and a choice that had to be made by each person, yes, even giving out deadlines and touring the globe to preach their gospel of salvation by human effort, human choice, and deliberate acts of human will power. They stumbled over the stumbling stone, as it is written, ‘Here in Eden I place a stumbling stone, and a rock of offense, but those who have faith in it will never ever be put to shame.' It remains my hearts desire that the Christians will find salvation, for as to the zeal for God among so many of them, of that I can certainly testify, but it is a zeal completely without any real knowledge, for they ignore God's way of righteousness, and instead try to set up a system of sacrifices and religion, their own way of righteousness, and therefore it turned out to be the case that they never came to know God's way of righteousness. For Manuel is the end of sacrificial laws and religious systems and doctrines and instead brings simple righteousness to all who simply have faith. For if you have that simple faith in your heart that YAHWEH raised Manuel the tortured Columbian peasant from the dead this faith leads naturally to righteousness and this leads then to salvation.

But how can they have faith in Manuel if they have never heard? And how can they ever hope to hear without someone to spread the news. And how could anyone spread the glorious good news without being sent? As it was said, ‘How wonderful are the feet of the messengers of good news.' But then of course few could believe it, as it was also said, ‘Who could have believed what we have heard? To whom has the arm of YAHWEH been revealed?" Could it be that the church has never heard. No, on the contrary, the voice has echoed throughout the church. Rather of such as them it was written, ‘I will use a nation that is no nation to stir them to envy and a foolish nation to kindle your anger.' Isaiah was even more daring. "I was found,' he wrote, ‘by those who were not looking for me; I revealed myself to those who never asked about me,' but alas as regards the Christians, he says, ‘all day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and defiant people.' Sadly this has been the truth.

So I ask then, what is it about you Christians that you think makes you so special. What do you have that you have not received as a gift, plain and simple. And if you received everything you have as a gift, why then do you boast and take the credit to yourself, to your own excellent choices and your own intelligent decisions and your own act of will power? I shall come to you soon, and the, if it be YAHWEH's will, I shall take the measure of these self important people, not by what they say, but by what they can do, because the life of God is not a matter of words, but rather of power. Your self satisfaction unbecomes you. Have you not heard the saying, ‘a little bit of yeast raises the whole lump of dough.' Do as I have instructed you in the past then, and get rid of the old leaven of the law of sacrifices and rituals, and get rid of the leaven of depravity and murder and injustice found in the same religious books, and make pure unleavened loaves for your Passover meal. For the letter kills and destroys, but the spirit of YAHWEH through Manuel the murdered Columbian peasant, well this Holy Spirit brings life and wonderful liberation from every enslaving tyranny of every imaginable kind, and brings it abundantly. It is Manuel who empowers us as ministers of a new and better covenant, not written in books, but rather spiritual; for the written letter condemns to death, but the living spirit brings life.

I ask then, has YAHWEH completely rejected the church? Rather what the church sought the church has not attained but only the chosen few have attained it. The rest became ruthless and hard hearted, with blind eyes and deaf ears. I ask then, when those Christians stumbled was their fall final. Of course, not. Through a false step on their part salvation has now come to the nations, and this in turn will provoke them to envious fury. There is divine secret here I wish you to understand to keep you from thinking yourself wise in comparison to their foolishness. This partial hardening has only come upon so many of those Christians until they see the nations coming in, and then they shall be saved. For as it was said, ‘Out of Eden will come the deliverer and Manuel shall remove the wickedness from those churches, and this is the covenant I will make with the Christians when I take away their sins.' Judged by their response to Eden and the gospel of Manuel the machine gunned peasant, they are God's bitter enemies, but they have proved to be disobedient only so that they may receive mercy, which is actually the way people get saved, and not through their own works, choices, will power, or decisions. For it is by grace alone that people are saved, and it is not their own choice or their own doing. YAHWEH will simply have mercy on whom God chooses to have mercy. Thus it does not depend on human effort and human will but simply on the mercy and the choice of God.

As one of their own poets put it, ‘How deep are the wealth and the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable God's judgments and how inscrutable God's ways. Who knows the mind of God and who has been YAHWEH's counsellor? Who has made a gift to God so as to be somehow owed something in return? For through God alone all things exist and have their being.

The gospel of Eden and Manuel the tortured Columbian peasant is folly, or so everyone has told me all my life. And no doubt the gospel you have had preached to you all your life in your churches is so vastly superior, that you truly long to remain in slavery to Christian rules and church doctrines and systems, and no doubt you would be loathe to set foot in Eden, a true Christian after all. Do you consider Eden to be foolishness. Now I would like you to bear with me as I indulge myself in some foolishness. For I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Manuel. For if some one comes and preaches another Manuel than the one I have preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you churches will submit to it readily enough. I think that I am not in the least inferior to these other super apostles of yours. Even if I am unskilled in speaking, I am not lacking in knowledge; in every way YAHWEH has made this plain to you in all things. Did I commit a sin in abasing myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached God's gospel without cost to you, without ever seeking donations? And what I do I will continue to do, in order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same spiritual level as I do. For such are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Manuel. But was this not typical of that snake who deceived the couple in the Garden, always promising to make one wise like God? I repeat, let no one think me foolish; but even if you do, accept me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little. For you gladly bear with fools, being wise yourselves! For you bear it if a man makes slaves of you, or preys upon you, or takes advantage of you, or puts on airs, or strikes you in the face. To my shame, I must say, we were too weak for that! But whatever any one dares to boast of—I am speaking as a fool—I also dare to boast of that.Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to fall, and I am not indignant?

O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Manuel the Columbian peasant was publicly portrayed as machine gunned and bulldozed into the ditch? Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Sacred Spirit of YAHWEH through the dead works of Christian religion, or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun with the Sacredness of the Spirit, are you now ending with the flesh? Did you experience so many things in vain? —if it really is in vain. Does YAHWEH who fills you to overflowing with the Sacredness of the Spirit of Truth and works signs and miracles among you do so by the dead works of Christian religion, or by hearing about Manuel the murdered peasant with simple faith?As it was once said Thus Abraham "believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness." So you see that it is people of such simple faith who are the children of Abraham. For all who rely on works of the Christian religion are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed be every one who does not choose by their own act of will and make a decision to follow Christ and to obey all the books of Christian law and do them." Now it is evident that no one is justified before YAHWEH by the Christian religion; for "the righteous will live by simple faith"; but the Christian religion does not rest on faith, for "He who does the work of choosing Jesus and does the works of the Christian law shall live by them." But Manuel the tortured Columbian Peasant has rescued us from the Curse of the Christian religion, for was it not said 'cursed was everyone who was tortured and murdered by death squads?' So then Manuel rescued us from the curse of the Christian religion and the dead works of Christian salvation by becoming a curse for us.


You see if the inheritance is by the works of Christian salvation then it is no longer by promise, and no longer rests on the mercy and choice of God, but rather on human effort, decisions, will power, and, as the Curse of the Christian religion proclaims, 'cursed be those who do not do the works of Salvation according to the Christian law.' If a religious work could be given by which righteousness could come then truly salvation would be by the works of Christian law. But we aleady know that God has enslaved everything to sin, for the express purpose of liberating everything through simple faith in Manuel, the tortured Columbian peasant. Now before this simple faith came, we were enslaved, held prisoner by the Christian doctrine. But now that faith has come we are no longer kept under locked guard, For we are all now children of God through our simple faith in Manuel and his blood. And as many as have trusted all these have themselves put on the very nature of Manuel. And if you have put on Manuel then you are heirs, according to the promises of YAHWEH.


Now as long as you were children, you were no better than slaves, kept under the lock and key of Christian law and slaves to the elemental spirits of the universe. But when the time had come God sent forth Manuel the Columbian Peasant to redeem those who were enslaved by religious law so they might instead receive the adoption as children. So then you are no longer slaves but children and if children then heirs of the promises of YAHWEH. Formerly you did not know God, but instead were in bondage and slavery to the Christian god, which is by definition not a god. And now that you have been set free of bondage by YAHWEH, would you consider turning back to these weak and beggarly elemental spirits of religious law? You observe the letter of the law, feasts and days and sabbaths. I am afraid that perhaps I have labored over you in vain.


Have I become your enemy by telling you the truth? These other super apostles make much of you, but for no good purpose; they want to shut you out of Eden and enslave you, so that you may make some big deal out of them. For a good purpose it is always good to be made much of, and not only when I am present with you. My little children, with whom I am again in labor pains until Manuel be formed in you! I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you. Tell me, you who desire to be saved under Christian law, do you not hear the Christian law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave and one by a free woman. But the son of the slave was born by works of religion and according to the flesh, the son of the free woman through promise. Now this is an allegory: these women are two covenants. One is from your ancestors, bearing children for slavery; she is the Christian religion. she corresponds to the present Church, for she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother. For it is written, "Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear a child; break forth and shout, you who are not in labor; for the children of the desolate one are many more than the children of her that is married."


Now we, brethren, who have trusted Manuel, like Isaac, are children of promise. But as at that time he who was born by religious performance of works of salvation according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, and so it is now today as well. But what does their own scripture say? "Cast out the slave and her son; for the son of the slave shall not inherit with the son of the free woman." So, brethren, we are not children of the slave but of the free woman. For freedom Manuel has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of religious slavery.

Now I say to you that if you receive salvation by 'making a decision for Christ' and of 'your own free will choosing Jesus', then I warn you that Manuel will be of no advantage to you. I say it again and again to every person who receives salvation by doing the work of 'choosing Jesus' of 'their free will' and 'making a decision for Christ' that this person is bound to keep the whole Christian religious law. You are severed from Manuel, you who would be justified by the Christian law and the works of salvation, you have fallen away from simple grace. For through the Sacrred Spirit of Eden, by simple trusting faith, we wait for the hope of righteousness. For in Manuel Liberator neither choice or no choice, decision or no decision, confession or no confession is of any use whatsoever, but only simple trusting faith working through love. For all that matters is the choice of YAHWEH who will have mercy on whom God chooses to have mercy, and the works of the flesh, human efforts and human will power and human choices or decisions are of no account whatsoever, but only the simple faith working through love through Manuel.

So then there is no point of pride here, for it is by YAHWEH's work that you are in Manuel through YAHWEH's act of liberation in the person of Manuel the Columbian Peasant, who became the sin of the nations when the nations murdered him, and who became the faith and righteousness of all who rose from the dead with Manuel when God intervened in an act of Divine Justice and raised Manuel from the dead. All of this is the work of God, and the works of the flesh, all religious works, or the choices or decisions of human beings count for nothing. The birds of the air build their nests and the spider designs and spins its web, but in neither case do we consider these things to be their works, but rather in every case the works assigned to the created order are the works of YAHWEH God, and so it is with humanity as well. So then it is by the power of God that you have been raised to life with Manuel, and it is not your choice, had nothing to do with your will power or decision, but rather true salvation is the working of God, so that in the end no one has any cause to boast.

For it is by grace that you are saved. It is not your own doing. We are all just YAHWEH's workmanship, created in Manuel the machine gunned peasant for good works, that we should walk in them.

So to summarize then if you believe in your heart that God raised Manuel the machine gunned peasant from the dead, then you will be saved, and it really is that simple. And what if some did not believe? This, too, is the work of YAHWEH, for even your faith is the work of God so that you have no boasting point. No one doubts that the suns rises and the sun sets. This, too, was the work of God, so that no one need establish law regarding the belief in sun rise and sun set, rather the knowledge has been placed in their hearts, and so too, why ask then 'Who can be saved.' What is not possible for preachers is clearly and self evidently more than possible for YAHWEH. What can anyone do that takes anything away from YAHWEH? And those who do not is it the case that they do not to the harm of God? Is it not to their own harm? Do those who walk through fire get burnt? Have you all knowledge? Have you come into your glory? Well, then perhaps you might share it with the rest of us. If not then pass no more judgments and turn from salvation by the Christian law, and wait until Manuel comes. For as one of your own prophets said, 'Here is a saying you may trust, one that merits full acceptance. This is why we labor and struggle, because we have set our hopes on the living God, for God is the savior of everyone, but especially of those who believe."

You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion is not from YAHWEH who calls you.Remember, A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough. Similarly a little boasting in the works of Christian salvation is enough to corrupt an entire church. I have confidence in the Liberator that you will take no other view than mine; and whoever it is who is always troubling you will bear their judgment, whoever they may be. But if I, people, preach salvation by the human works of choice and personal decision, why am I still being persecuted by the church all the time? In that case the stumbling block of Manuels torture and murder has been removed. I wish those who unsettle you would torture themselves! For you were called to glorious liberty and freedom, people; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity to sin against one another, but rather through love be servants of one another. For the whole law of the Sacred Spirit of Eden, is fulfilled in one saying, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

See to it, then, that no one makes a prey of you by philosophy of Christian religion and empty deceit, according to human religious tradition, the many endless deceitful arguments based on the written letter, which enslaves and kills, and not on the spirit, crafty arguments made according to the elemental spirits of the universe, and not according to Manuel, whose gospel you have heard me preach.. For in him is all the fullness of God and you have come to life in him, through a simple act of faith, and through wisdom in him, through that same simple faith, and to knowledge and power and glory in him, through nothing more than simple faith in the great power of YAHWEH who works in you through Manuel our Liberator.


"Here comes the Lord God, coming with power, coming to rule with powerful arm. God's reward is there and YAHWEH's recompense comes before. YAHWEH will gently rock the little lambs and lead the mother ewes to water..." Isaiah 40:10
