The Beliefs Expanded

(1)
The Nature Of The Universe
The universe is manifestations of God. God manifests as all the different forms of both matter and energy, of unlife and life, as everything.

On scriptural authority the Lord God cannot be limited or altered in any way, and is eternal. On scientific authority the content of matter and energy making up the universe cannot be limited or altered in any way, and is eternal. The scriptures and science are basically in complete agreement. They only use different names for the same thing.

God created the universe to sustain life, and then sowed the seeds of life throughout it. God’s natural laws as revealed in both the scriptures and by science, make life possible, and guide and direct it towards him.

(2)
All Religions Equally Valid
All Religions address the same one God. Allah (Moslem), Buddha (Buddhist), Jehovah (Jewish), Krishna (Hindu), Yeshua {(The Jewish word for Jesus), Christian}, all call upon the same one God. All Religions are paths to the same one goal, the same one God. No Religion can be said to be basically superior or inferior to any other. Give equal respect to everyone who toils in the service of the Lord.

(3)
Study, Practice and Know God
As all is manifestations of God, observation, study and learning are basically all about God. Religion most directly addresses God, so to know God religious study is especially recommended, but all knowledge leads to the same one goal, the same one God. In your spiritual practice treat the entire creation with respect, including yourself. Remember that everything is a manifestation of God, and act accordingly. A moral life is essential for spiritual progress. All that rises converges towards the same one goal, the same one God. As Religious Paths progress they converge, and those who tread them become increasingly similar. The Saints are all alike, because close to God. Let being like them be your goal.

(4)
Your Personal Relationship With God
Good is basically personal knowledge of and relationship with God. It is by your personal relationship with God that you are saved. Make haste to know the Lord God personally. Prayer, spiritual practice, thoughts, feelings and actions are your communications with God. God knows all and will respond as best for you. If you don’t know God now, when times of trouble come don’t expect the Lord God to know you then. Now is the time to get to know God. Do not delay.

(5)
Morality Is Key
Morality is the key that unlocks all doors leading to God. Without morality all spiritual practices are futile.

(6)
Realize, And Obtain Union With God
As spiritual realization continues the stage is reached with deep personal gratification due to direct personal relationship with God. This spiritual realization can result in Union with God. The knower and the known become one even in this life.

(7)
Seek, And Get Help From God
Anyone can seek help from God at any time. Prayer is direct communication available to all. Your Father who is in Heaven knows everything; He knows what is best for you. People may pray for relief from their sins. Should people sin and then not suffer, they will sin more. The Lord sends punishment as necessary to correct. He may send trials and tribulations to test and to strengthen. He is fair and good. "The Lord works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform." We do not always know His will. If you want help, examine your conduct, if necessary correct it, and vow to sin no more. You will be surprised at the result. It may take a while, but you will receive help. Be ready to receive it, and then do your part. God helps those who help themselves.
