"In times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act".
-- George Orwell
When someone launches a personal (ad hominem) attack instead of addressing the content of what is being discussed, it provides everyone with irrefutable proof that individual is sick, i.e. incapable of rational, logical thought. Nothing someone like that says can be trusted (
James 1:8).
For those new to the forum who may be reading this thread, "God Calling" and its companion daily devotional book "God at Eventide" were first published in 1935 by "Two Listeners", which were two British women who chose to remain anonymous rather than try to take credit for the message God sent to them.
The daily, inspirational messages contained in these two volumes is in perfect harmony with the Scripture, as can be readily seen. Both volumes frequently refer to the daily destruction/crucifixion of the "self" (ego -- the source of all arrogance and ignorance), which is likewise found throughout Scripture, in both the Bible and the Koran (Quran).
Reference:
Matt. 10:38,
Mark 8:34,
Luke 9:23,
Luke 14:26-27,
Gal. 2:20,
Sura 6:162,
Sura 92:18-21.
The daily crucifixion of the "self" (which is controlled by Lucifer/Satan/Iblis, the evil one/devil/liar) is also referenced in Eastern religious texts, e.g. the Bhagavad Gita (e.g. 2:60, 3:10, 4:25, 8:28, 9:27, 12:9-13, 15:10, 16:1, 17:23 and 18:66, to cite a few examples). The Bhagavad Gita correctly instructs everyone to abandon all varieties of organized religions, which are the
REAL cults (
cultural beliefs/traditions of men),
that make the COMMANDMENTS of God (found only in the first five books of the Bible)
of no effect.
From the Bhagavad Gita:
18:66
ABANDON ALL VARIETIES OF RELIGION (
Enoch 104:8,
Jer. 23:1-6,
Ezek. 34:1-10,
23,
Matt. 6:5-8,
Matt. 7:21-27,
Acts 7:48,
Acts 17:24,
Rev. 2:20-23,
Rev. 18:4,
Sura 7:55,
Sura 9:107-111) and just surrender unto Me (
Matt. 23:8-10,
Luke 9:23,
John 10:7-11,
1 Tim. 2:5,
Heb. 6:20,
Sura 3:45-55,
Sura 43:61). I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction (
John 1:29,
Rev. 1:5). Do not fear (
1 John 4:18).
18:67 This confidential knowledge may not be explained to those who are not austere, or devoted, or engaged in devotional service (
Luke 10:21), nor to one who is envious of Me (
Matt. 7:6).
It is organized religions that are incompatible with each other (and meant to divide and conquer),
NOT the Scripture (The Word of God), which is always consistent with itself, when properly translated and understood (
Enoch 104:9-11,
John 10:35,
Sura 39:23).
Matthew 15:3, 7-9
15:3 But he answered and said unto them,
Why do ye also transgress the COMMANDment of God by your Tradition?
15:7 [
Ye] hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
15:8
This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is FAR from me.
15:9
But in vain they do worship Me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men (man-made laws/legislation).
It is only through the destruction of the "self" and of the organized religious superstitions that feed it and make it believe it knows better than our Creator, that it is possible to free ourselves of all cults/man-made traditions, so that we may see and truly grasp our Creator's Message, which is found everywhere. In a flower, in the trusting smile of a child, in the helping hand of a friend, in our true history (recorded in Scripture), in our daily lives, and in the devotionals "God Calling" and "God at Eventide", which has been read and appreciated by millions of awakened souls.

Christ came to teach us and show us by example how to destroy the "self" (ego)
DAILY, and was freeing people from organized religion when He was here before, in the body of Jesus, just as He is doing now, while here in the body of JAH. It is one of the many marks by which we may know Christ during
His Second Coming. What could be of more importance to any genuine truth-seeker during these
end-times, regardless of how it may be mocked by a world
filled with liars and unbelievers?
The Truth is Out There. And in here too.
Peace be upon you.
