Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord' and not do what I tell you? Every one who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like, he is like a man building a house, who dug deep, and laid
foundation upon rock and when flood arose, stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it has been well built. But he who hears and does not do them is ike a man who built a house on ground without a foundation against which stream broke, and immediately it fell, and ruin of that house was great.
Jesus Christ was clearly not happy that he was being idolized while little attention was paid to his message. He was just a genius who had used his extra-ordinary talent to gain profound spiritual knowledge. His primary concern was to impart this knowledge to others. His desire was for people to listen, learn and practice what he was teaching them.
After his death, however, his followers who did not fully understand him or his work declared him deity. To lend credence to this claim, they presented us with story of his conception by Holy Ghost and tales of his resurrection and ascension.
Let us now subject these things to logical reasoning. Spirit does not have physical substance. A thing that does not have physical substance cannot be divided, reproduced, split or apportioned into two or more separate and different units. Spirit, therefore, cannot exist in form of separate and individual entities. This means that you cannot have one spirit called, say, Michael, separate and different from another spirit called, say, Gabriel, separate and different from another one called, say, Satan, etc. Existence in this form is a physical phenomenon that does not occur in spiritual realm. It logically follows that there can be only one spirit in existence. That spirit is God. Clearly, no Holy Ghost exists and Mary mother of Jesus was not made pregnant by any such spirit.
Let me add at this point that human being does not have a spirit or soul. Our mind, which creates illusion of a spirit in our body, is actually a mechanism of brain by which we perceive and experience spiritual as well as physical phenomena.
Logical reasoning has shown that there can be only one spirit in existence and also that heaven does not exist. Going by these conclusions, tales of resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ do not make sense. If there can be only one spirit in existence, what then did Jesus Christ become after he resurrected? If heaven does not exist, where then did he ascend to? The claims of a resurrection and an ascension are inconsistent with logically established spiritual realities.
The Bible account of conception of Jesus Christ by Holy Ghost and reports of his resurrection and ascension are definitely falsehood.
The occurrence of untruths, conjectures and fallacies in current spiritual teachings is not peculiar to Christian faith. I have found a high incidence of this flaw in other spiritual works and teachings that I have come in contact with. I am, however, hopeful that my spiritual works will help clarify matters and also enable mankind to gain full spiritual enlightenment.
My spiritual knowledge was obtained by study and experimentation with spiritual facts and principles, by observation of spiritual phenomena, and by logical reasoning. It qualifies for classification as science. The knowledge I bring I therefore present as a branch of learning I have called Spiritual Science. The aim and scope of Spiritual Science are to provide such spiritual knowledge of existence as will enable mankind gain complete happiness and success in life.
God has endowed me with extra-ordinary mental abilities. It is by His grace that I have gained full spiritual knowledge of existence. I recognize my moral obligation to share this knowledge with others and help others gain full spiritual enlightenment. I have a duty to work for spiritual enlightentment of mankind. It is my fervent hope that you will maintain an open mind and try to comprehend spiritual knowledge which I bring to you. Being fully enlightened spiritually will enable you to live your life right way. When you live right way you will undoubtedly find complete joy and success in life. May grace of Almighty God be with you always.
