Confession of Faith in the True God

GOD is the Truth. The Most Holy Trinity is God and none other is God. The Most Holy Trinity is Three Persons Who are One God. These Three Persons are The Father and the Son, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. The Father is the fountainhead of the Trinity, the Son proceeds from His engendering in the Father’s bosom, the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father in the unity of the engendering of the Son from the Father. This procession of the Son and the Holy Spirit from the Father is immortal from before all time and creation and unto eternity never-ending. This Triune God alone has Aseity, that He is immortal without beginning and without end, self sustained in His existence which preceded all time and creation and, His existence, continues forever; God’s existence is infinite. This God is above all that He has created and transcendent in all that He has created. There is nothing apart from nor outside of God that He has not created. He created all that has been created ex nihilo, that is from nothing by His infinite power. Nothing that is created has aseity. Time is only an aspect of that which has been created by God. Time is therefore part of God’s creation. God is not limited by His creation, this includes that God is not limited by time. God is Omnipotent and Omniscient and Ubiquitos and with eternal complete foresight: Almighty and All seeing and knowing and equally present everywhere and knowing all things before their creation and all events before they come to pass unto eternity. There is no way to God but through the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity Who is the Lord Jesus Christ, in Whom alone there is salvation by His Most Holy Cross and Resurrection. Creation had a beginning but will continue unto the eternal ages to come. At the return of Jesus Christ from God the Father’s right hand in the third heaven and the just judgement of Christ of His creatures, creation will be cleansed by fire (the damned, both angels and men consigned to hell forever) and renewed with paradise restored, with the presence around God of all His elect angels and saints, and continue in this way forever. Salvation by Christ is by His Kenosis (the elect angels do not stand in need of salvation for they never sinned and are God’s servants forever). Holy Holy Holy Lord God of hosts who will return in glory and in flaming fire taking vengeance upon those who know not God and who obey not the Lord Jesus Christ Heb:5: 1 ¶ For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins: 2 Who can have compassion on them that are ignorant and that err: because he himself also is compassed with infirmity. 3 And therefore he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. 4 Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was. 5 So Christ also did not glorify himself, that he might be made a high priest: but he that said unto him: Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee. 6 As he saith also in another place: Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech. 7 Who in the days of his flesh, with a strong cry and tears, offering up prayers and supplications to him that was able to save him from death, was heard for his reverence. 8 And whereas indeed he was the Son of God, he learned obedience by the things which he suffered. 9 And being consummated, he became, to all that obey him, the cause of eternal salvation: 10 ¶ Called by God a high priest, according to the order of Melchisedech. 11 Of whom we have much to say and hard to be intelligibly uttered: because you are become weak to hear. 12 For whereas for the time you ought to be masters, you have need to be taught again what are the first elements of the words of God: and you are become such as have need of milk and not of strong meat. 13 For every one that is a partaker of milk is unskilful in the word of justice: for he is a little child. 14 But strong meat is for the perfect: for them who by custom have their senses exercised to the discerning of good and evil. (DRV) St. Paul explains this same thing with different wording in Philippians. Phil:2: 5 For let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man. 8 He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross. 9 For which cause, God also hath exalted him and hath given him a name which is above all names: 10 That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth: 11 And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father. (DRV) This is crucial to our understanding of Christ’s mission to save us. In the above “emptied” is kenosis in the Greek. Christ’s kenosis (He Who is the Immortal Son of God and has always existed from before He created anything, His emptying out of Himself for us and to us) consists of “taking the form of a servant” at His incarnation of the Blessed Virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit, “being made in the likeness of men” extremely important — His incarnation in the flesh, “in habit found as a man” this part explains phrases like “learned obedience”. Jesus never had to learn anything for Himself since He is God and Omniscient – All Knowing. But He willed to be born and grow up and be taught by Joseph and Mary. Think about it, it was the Blessed Virgin who taught Him the Psalms that He was the Mediator for David to receive by inspiration of the Holy Spirit and record for us. In simple terms He taught David the Psalms and willed that Mary would teach Him on earth the same psalms, though, of course He knew them already. So all references to His learning and growing and being perfected are only those things that He willed to go through for two basic reasons for our sakes. Number two first: to show us what our attitude and efforts should be on His behalf as His ambassadors to the rest of mankind. He “learned” but is actually teaching us. Number one in importance: “being made in the likeness of men” extremely important — His incarnation in the flesh. St. Athanasius Contra Mundum (against the world [opposing heresy]) addresses this when he explains that had Christ the Immortal Son of the Father in the Unity and Power of the Holy Spirit simply have erased Adam’s sin then the natural debt we all inherited to die from that sin would have meant that all men would die forever and be lost since God doesn’t lie and He pronounced that the separation of man from God due to sin would by the natural property of human nature make anything else impossible. In other words if God simply erased the sin He would have erased men as well thereby. Worst yet, St. Athanasius tells us, the devil would thereby have won that round. But what God did, the Son, Who because of His Divine substance/essence – nature cannot die, is to take upon himself the real human nature of all men subsumed from Mary — and therefore of Adam (see the genealogies in St. Matthew’s, Chapter 1, and St. Luke’s, Chapter 3, Gospels; in St. Luke’s Gospel all the way back to Adam). Since of Adam, then, of all men. Since He had and has that nature in total union with His divine nature, when he suffered and died (it is in this sense that St. Paul says “learned obedience”) in our place as the ransom from death then we become sons and daughters by adoption unto real eternal life at the future Return of Christ and the General Resurrection of the flesh, each of us, our bodies reunited with our same soul and same spirit. Therefore death, which insured that God’s law would be obeyed, was originally God’s way to insure that man would not become a diabolic creature totally in bondage to the devil, incapable of being in union with the Holy God, Himself. Christ took death, merited by all men, upon Himself preserving what God had said to Adam and Eve “upon that day (of disobedience) you will die”. Therefore, Christ’s death, then becomes the ransom to bring us out of thralldom to the devil and into union with God in Christ. Christ’s Resurrection then becomes the guarantor of our resurrection — which will absolutely happen. This is a brief description of Christ’s kenosis. Christ’s kenosis is the weightiest subject in the whole Bible. Christ’s obedience loosed the debt of Adam’s disobedience as Mary’s obedience undid the knot of Eve’s disobedience (that last is from St. Irenaeus). A note of warning: those who retie the knot of Eve’s disobedience and who bind themselves again in the debt of Adam’s disobedience by becoming part of pagan religions, who profess atheism or agnosticism, who follow after the Antichrist or who walk not in God’s commandments though they pretend to be Christ’s, will certainly be resurrected, but to eternal undying destruction in the lake of fire with the devil and all the fallen angels and all of the demons. Only the saints will inherit paradise with the elect angels in this universe recreated by God at the second coming of Jesus Christ at the end of this age of grace. GOD’S OMNISCIENCE AND HIS FORGIVENESS OF SIN. GOD ALONE FORGIVES SIN. THAT IS, CHRIST ALONE FORGIVES SIN SINCE HE IS GOD IN THE FLESH AND THE ONLY MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN, FOR NO ONE CAN COME TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, AND HE IS THE HIGH PRIEST OF GOD APPOINTED BY THE FATHER TO BE THE ONLY ONE WE CAN APPROACH FOR FORGIVENESS OF SINS. IN THE PASSAGE FROM HEBREWS QUOTED BELOW SAINT PAUL AFFIRMS THAT GOD IS PRESENT EVERYWHERE AND SEES EVERYTHING – TOTALLY KNOWS ALL THINGS; THAT GOD IS OMNIPRESENT AND OMNISCIENT. GOD IS EQUALLY PRESENT EVERYWHERE, THIS IS THE TRUTH THAT GOD IS UBIQUITOUS. IN THE FOLLOWING, THE WORD OF GOD IS JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF. 12 FOR THE WORD OF GOD IS LIVING AND EFFECTUAL, AND MORE PIERCING THAN ANY TWO EDGED SWORD, AND REACHING UNTO WHERE THE SOUL AND THE SPIRIT UNITE, AND OF THE JOINING WITH WHAT IS ENCLOSED WITHIN, AND IS A DISCERNER OF THE THOUGHTS AND INTENTS OF THE HEART. 13 AND THERE IS NO CREATURE HIDDEN FROM HIS SIGHT; BUT ALL THINGS ARE NAKED AND OPEN TO HIS EYES, TO WHOM WE HAVE TO ANSWER. 14 HAVING THEREFORE A GREAT HIGH PRIEST WHO HAS PASSED INTO THE HEAVENS, JESUS THE SON OF GOD, LET US HOLD FAST OUR CONFESSION. 15 FOR WE HAVE NOT A HIGH PRIEST, WHO CAN NOT HAVE COMPASSION ON OUR INFIRMITIES, BUT ONE TRIED IN ALL THINGS LIKE AS WE ARE, EXCEPT WITHOUT SIN. 16 LET US THEREFORE GO WITH CONFIDENCE TO THE THRONE OF GRACE, THAT WE MAY OBTAIN MERCY, AND FIND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED. ST. PAUL’S EPISTLE TO THE HEBREWS CHAPTER 4 GOD IS UBIQUITUOS (TOTALLY PRESENT AND ALL SEEING AND ALL KNOWING EQUALLY EVERYWHERE THROUGHOUT HIS CREATION), AND HE HAS GIVEN MEN FREE WILL. THEREFORE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT CONCERNING WHERE THE MARK OF SIN IS IN A MAN. MEMORY IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE EXPERIENCE OF (RETAINED BY) THE SELF, I.E. SENTIENCE OF SELF EXPERIENCE – SENTIENCE = CONSCIOUSNESS. MY MEMORY = MY SENTIENCE OF MY EXPERIENCE; SENTIENCE OF SENTIENCE = MEMORY, SELF IS CREATED, ONE’S SOUL, A PERSON’S MEMORY IS OF HIS EXPERIENCE OF HIS OWN SELF NOT ANOTHER’S – MAN OR DEMON OR DEVIL – GOD’S HOLY ANGELS, WITH GOD’S PERMISSION, SEE MORE. GOD HAS THE TOTAL EXPERIENCE OF EVERY CREATURE OF HIS KNOWN BY HIS (NOUS) MIND, BUT NOT ALL ARE ENCOMPASSED BY HIS (UNCREATED) WISDOM – THAT WHICH IS OUTSIDE OF HIS WISDOM, WHICH IS THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO IS GIVEN TO AND THROUGH JESUS CHRIST GOD’S IMMORTAL SON, IS SIN, I.E. DARKNESS –NO PART IN LIFE ETERNAL WHO IS HIS IMMORTAL SON JESUS CHRIST. THESE SINS ABIDE IN THE MEMORY OF THE SELF WHICH IS A MAN’S SOUL, UNLESS A MAN CONFESS HIS SINS TO CHRIST AND BE FORGIVEN AND THERFORE CLEANSED BY HIM ALONE WHO IS UBIQUITOUS AND THEREFORE PRESENT WITH ALL MEN IN THIS LIFE. (THOSE WHO DO NOT ARE THERFORE HEADED FOR HELL. THIS IS WHERE, AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ABYSS, BENEATH THE UNIVERSE, THE ABODE OF THE DAMNED IS; THE OUTER DARKNESS CONSUMED ETERNALLY BY THE UNQUENCHABLE FIRE OF GOD’S WRATH; WHICH JESUS CHRIST ALSO REFERRED TO AS GEHENNA [GE-HINNOM IN HEBREW]. THIS IS HELL; THE ONE PLACE OF DAMNATION, WHICH BY GOD’S COMMAND EXISTS AND WILL CONTINUE TO EXIST ETERNALLY, BUT WHERE GOD’S PRESENCE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO IS HIS UNCREATED WISDOM, IS NOT. IT EXISTS BY THE POWER OF GOD WITH AN ENERGY GIVEN BY HIM TO KEEP IT IN PLACE BUT TOTALLY WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THEREFORE ALSO TOTALLY WITHOUT ANY SANCTIFYING GRACE. THIS IS FOREVER, WITH NO REDEMPTION THERE AT ALL EVER. THIS IS THE ABODE OF THE DAMNED: THE DEVIL AND ALL THE REST OF THE FALLEN ANGELS, ALL THE DEMONS AND ALL MEN WHO ARE NOT SAVED BY COMING TO CHRIST, IN REPENTANCE OF THEIR SINS, AND RECEIVING THE FORGIVENESS OF CHRIST. YOUNG CHILDREN ARE NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE, FOR THEY CANNOT FORM THE REQUISITE INTENT TO BE HELD GUILTY OF ANY SIN.) FOUR BASIC ELEMENTS CREATED BY GOD ARE FIRE, SPIRIT, WATER, EARTH (DO NOT CONFUSE THIS WITH THE SCIENTIST’S THEORIES) PAGAN HAS 6 AND IS DISORDERED (WE DO NOT NEED TO INVOLVE OURSELVES IN THEIR CONFUSION) FOUR REALMS OF GOD, WHICH HE MADE FROM THE ELEMENTS HE CREATED, ARE: 1) INANIMATE REALM 2) SIMPLE LIFE REALM 3) SENTIENT REALM 4) ETERNAL LIFE REALM PAGAN – 1) CONFUSION ABOUT ANYTHING 2) TOTALLY SEARED CONSCIENCE 3) WILL DO ANYTHING EVIL 4) UTTER DESTRUCTION COMES UPON THEM 1) THE NATURE OF GOOD IS LIFE – GOD THE HOLY TRINITY, THE FATHER AND THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE AUTHOR THEREOF: 1) THE INANIMATE REALM, GOD CREATED THE UNIVERSE OF THE FOUR BASIC ELEMENTS OF FIRE, SPIRIT, WATER ,EARTH AND THEN MADE FROM THIS INANIMATE REALM LIVING CREATURES AND MAN WHO HE MADE SENTIENT AND DESTINED FOR ETERNAL LIFE BEFORE THE FALL OF ADAM; AGAIN DESTINED FOR ETERNAL LIFE AT OUR REDEMPTION IN CHRIST. THIS IS CREATION IN ONE DAY ENCOMPASSING THE SIX DAYS WHICH ALSO SHOW FORTH THE AGES OF THE CHURCH FROM THE TIME OF ADAM TO CHRIST AND THE SEVENTH DAY, CHRIST’S FUTURE RETURN, AND THE EIGHTH DAY, THE ENDLESS AGES OF AGES OF CHRIST WITH THE SAVED AND HIS ELECT ANGELS IN THIS UNIVERSE RECREATED THEN AT THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST. THIS IS OPPOSED BY #2) THE NATURE OF EVIL, BELIAL (NOTHINGNESS), THE DEVIL, WHICH IS DEATH – THE DEVIL (DIABOLOS) IS THE AUTHOR OF SIN AND DEATH. 2) SIMPLE LIFE REALM, WHICH IS GOD CREATING MAN (THE FIRST FORMED MAN – ADAM) FROM THE MOIST EARTH AND BREATHED INTO HIM AND HE BECAME A LIVING SOUL. THIS IS OPPOSED BY #3) THE DEVIL’S TEMPTATION TO ABANDON THE SOURCE OF LIFE WHO IS GOD. 3) THE SENTIENT REALM, WHICH IS ADAM THE LIVING SOUL QUICKENED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD. THIS IS OPPOSED BY THE #4) DEVIL’S PROMPTING TO SIN (CAUSING DEATH) WHICH IS EVIL WHICH IS TRYING, WITH OTHERS TRYING TO DO THE SAME OR TEMPTING OTHERS TO DO THE SAME, TO BE YOUR OWN GOD. 4) THE ETERNAL LIFE REALM, WHICH ARE THOSE CREATURES WHO POSSESS AN ETERNAL SELF AND ARE FAITHFUL TO GOD. THESE ARE THE HOLY ANGELS AND MEN WHO ARE CHRIST’S (THE SAINTS). THIS IS OPPOSED BY #4) THE LIE WHICH IS THAT THE EVIL THAT COMES FROM THE DEVIL ACTUALLY COMES FROM GOD. THIS #2) NATURE OF THE DEVIL (EVIL NOTHINGNESS DEATH) IS TO ENVY GOD PROMPTING THE DEVIL’S SIN (TRYING TO REPLACE GOD) #3) THE DEVIL’S LIE (THAT GOD DID NOT TELL THE TRUTH WHEN GOD SAID TO ADAM THAT FOR ADAM TO ABANDON GOD WOULD CAUSE ADAM’S DEATH) #4) TO CAUSE ADAM TO SIN #3) AND MEN TO CONTINUE TO TELL THE LIE #4) THEREFORE CUTTING THEM OFF FROM THE LIFE THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS THE ONLY REDEEMER AND THEREFORE SAVIOUR OF THE WHOLE WORLD OF THOSE WHO ARE SAVED (THE SAVED INCLUDES ADAM WHO REPENTED). THE NATURE OF THE DEVIL IS EVIL (ENVY), DEATH-SIN, LIAR; THEREFORE THE DEVIL, THE ANTICHRIST, THE FALSE PROPHET ARE THE ULTIMATE EVIL. CRY OUT, DO NOT CEASE, LIKE A TRUMPET RAISE THY VOICE, AND REVEAL TO MY PEOPLE THEIR WICKED DEEDS AND TO THE HOUSE OF JACOB THEIR SINS. ISAIAS 58, 1 Say this prayer of repentance, daily: Against you, you alone, Jesus Christ, have we sinned and done evil in your sight, forgive us our sins, purge us with hyssop and we shall be cleansed, wash us and we shall be made whiter than snow, make the bones you have numbered to rejoice. Lord Jesus Christ, Son and Word of the living God in the unity and power of your Holy Spirit, through the intercessions of your all-pure mother and of all your saints and elect angels, have mercy and deliver us. The following is a theological explanation of how God is ubiquitously present (totally present everywhere at all times); since God created everything (except himself, always having existed, which quality is called aseity), the willful misuse of anything or anybody including oneself, is sin against God himself, who is present in all of his creation. God’s creation is composed of elements (the basic biblical elements are: fire, spirit, water, earth, called in Greek, ‘stoichea’). There are also four basic realms which are all part of God’s created cosmos: the realm of those who are created with a beginning and an eternal life, i.e. angels and men, the realm of creatures with a sentient soul but no eternal life, i.e. animals, the realm of those things created with life but not a thinking or an aware mind, i.e. plants, the realm of things created and therefore having an existence sustained by God but with no self, no consciousness, nor life, i.e. the realm of the inanimate. In all of this all misuse of any of this is sin, the misuse of the elements is sorcery and magic, the misuse of the creatures of God is idolatry and when the two misuses are combined it is the sin of witchcraft – all of these sins are instigated by Satan whom Jesus told us in St. John’s Gospel is a murderer and liar from the beginning (Gospel of St. John chapter 8 verse 44). In this verse, in which Jesus condemns those who held a superficial profession of faith in God, is the absolute definition of sin from the sin of Satan and the other fallen angels and then the fall of Adam and Eve and every other sin there ever has been or will be: “the Father from whom you are is the devil, and the desires of the Father of you it is your will to do. That one was a murderer from the beginning and has not stood in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks the lie he speaks from his very nature, because he is a liar and the Father of lies.” in this extremely important verse is the definition of what Jesus also informs us of in his rebuke to the devil in St. Matthew’s Gospel chapter 4 verse 10: then Jesus said to him, “begone, Satan! for it is written, the Lord your God shall you worship and him only shall you serve.” angels are created noetic spirits (spirits, each with a self identity and an individual mind) and their nature at the moment of their creation is good; they are endowed with a free will. Satan and the rest of the fallen angels chose to deny God and all worship and service of God, i.e. to apostasize from God, and be their own gods (they are the false gods behind all of the pagan religions, Buddhism, Hinduism, false Islam which uses idolatry and magic (as opposed to true Islam which does not) etc., and idols and are the instigating spirits of sorcery and magic and all sin). This decision on their part immediately and irrevocably separated them from the Holy Spirit of God and therefore, at that moment their natures became evil forevermore. Men are a different case; their souls are where their self exists. Men possess free will to make the decision whether or not to worship and serve the true God; however, unlike the angels, men’s existence is in the flesh. Therefore a man’s decision is made in the flesh. God fixed the nature of man’s flesh to remain incorrupt and not know death ever, as long as man did not transgress God’s commandment not to stray from the worship and service of God who is the only Creator of all and source of life (which commandment is given universally to all angels and men). The nature of man’s flesh, as created by God, parted from perfect obedience of man and therefore indwelling of God by his spirit with incorruption, has a limited life span by God’s command. Therefore, unlike the angels who cannot die as men die in the flesh, man has a time here on earth in his flesh to make his decision whether or not to worship and serve the living God and inherit life eternal, i.e. incorruption. Adam was created in the flesh and sinned in the flesh and therefore men inherit, not sin, but death in the flesh because of Adam’s sin. Men’s decision is irrevocably fixed at the moment of their death. Beginning with Adam (the first formed man and there are none of any sort before him) all men’s souls are formed to their bodies; their souls are where their self exists eternally. Man at his creation (Adam) and each man thereafter at his soul’s creation by God at the moment of conception in the man’s body is a person. Each person is a threefold existence of spirit from God, soul created by God and body made of the elements created by God. Unrepentant sinners who go to hell upon their death and the lake of fire at the final judgement are devoid of any spirit of God forevermore. Their same souls and bodies alone (no spirit) are resurrected reunited by Christ forevermore at the resurrection of all men in the future and then condemned at that time to the lake of fire (at the bottom of the abyss beneath the universe). The saints (all of the saved from the first adam on) will be resurrected with their same spirits souls and bodies reunited (all diseases of the former life healed) and inherit life eternal with Christ incorrupt as he is uncorrupt, in this universe (God’s creation) recreated at that time unto the endless ages of ages to come. The reason for our resurrection is that Christ, by virtue of his being God, in taking the flesh of the blessed virgin Mary (who was descended from Adam 70 generations before, as well as all men – recounted in the Gospel of St. Luke chapter 3 verses 23-38) therefore took the flesh of all men, Adam and all men ever descended from Adam, and thereby took the punishment of death (upon his cross) that had been decreed by him upon men for Adam’s sin, upon himself. Note: in the passage from St. John’s Gospel that “…the desires of the Father of you (the devil) it is your will to do. That one was a murderer from the beginning and has not stood in the truth…”. Men (who are old enough to form the requisite intention and never before that does any man sin) sin by their willing to do it. It is true, of course, that the devil tempted Adam and Eve with his own self temptation, i.e. to be their own gods, in order to draw them to the worship of himself. Adam and Eve could have said no. They chose to sin as do all men who sin. The devil was by virtue of his angelic nature (noetic), therefore having an immediate knowledge of right and wrong upon his creation, to be held immediately and irrevocably bound by his apostasy from the moment of his sin (see book of the holy prophet of God, Ezechiel, chapter 28 verses 12b through 19.) The following describes God’s holy presence throughout his creation. Therefore, as said above, any and all apostasy from he who created all of creation and any and all misuse of his creation (that is: in transgressing his commandments in any of these cases) by any of his creatures is sin. All angels, and all men who have reached the age of reason, are responsible to God for their thoughts, intentions, words, deeds and in both commission and omission in all of this and will answer to him who is the just judge. We men absolutely need our redeemer Saviour Jesus Christ. The elect angels worship and serve him but do not stand in need of salvation since they have never sinned. The devil and the rest of the fallen angels are damned forever.

	Keeping The Faith Mt:25: 1 ¶ Then shall the kingdom of heaven be like to ten virgins, who taking their lamps went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride. 2 And five of them were foolish and five wise. 3 But the five foolish, having taken their lamps, did not take oil with them. 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with the lamps. 5 And the bridegroom tarrying, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made: Behold the bridegroom cometh. Go ye forth to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise: Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out. 9 The wise answered, saying: Lest perhaps there be not enough for us and for you, go ye rather to them that sell and buy for yourselves. 10 Now whilst they went to buy the bridegroom came: and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage. And the door was shut. 11 But at last came also the other virgins, saying: Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answering said: Amen I say to you, I know you not. 13 Watch ye therefore, because you know not the day nor the hour. 14 ¶ For even as a man going into a far country called his servants and delivered to them his goods; 15 And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to every one according to his proper ability: and immediately he took his journey. 16 And he that had received the five talents went his way and traded with the same and gained other five. 17 And in like manner he that had received the two gained other two. 18 But he that had received the one, going his way, digged into the earth and hid his lord’s money. 19 But after a long time the lord of those servants came and reckoned with them. 20 And he that had received the five talents coming, brought other five talents, saying: Lord, thou didst deliver to me five talents. Behold I have gained other five over and above. 21 His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant, because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 22 And he also that had received the two talents came and said: Lord, thou deliveredst two talents to me. Behold I have gained other two. 23 His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant: because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 24 But he that had received the one talent, came and said: Lord, I know that thou art a hard man; thou reapest where thou hast not sown and gatherest where thou hast not strewed. 25 And being afraid, I went and hid thy talent in the earth. Behold here thou hast that which is thine. 26 And his lord answering, said to him: Wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sow not and gather where I have not strewed. 27 Thou oughtest therefore to have committed my money to the bankers: and at my coming I should have received my own with usury. 28 Take ye away therefore the talent from him and give it him that hath ten talents. 29 For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: but from him that hath not, that also which he seemeth to have shall be taken away. 30 And the unprofitable servant, cast ye out into the exterior darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 31 ¶ And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty. 32 And all nations shall be gathered together before him: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left. 34 Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink: I was a stranger, and you took me in: 36 Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me. 37 Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry and fed thee: thirsty and gave thee drink? 38 Or when did we see thee a stranger and took thee in? Or naked and covered thee? 39 Or when did we see thee sick or in prison and came to thee? 40 And the king answering shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me. 41 Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, which was prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty and you gave me not to drink. 43 I was a stranger and you took me not in: naked and you covered me not: sick and in prison and you did not visit me. 44 Then they also shall answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister to thee? 45 Then he shall answer them, saying: Amen: I say to you, as long as you did it not to one of these least, neither did you do it to me. 46 And these shall go into everlasting punishment: but the just, into life everlasting.

	Words Of Wisdom Jms:1: 1 ¶ James, the servant of God and of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. 2 ¶ My brethren, count it all joy, when you shall fall into divers temptations: 3 Knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience 4 And patience hath a perfect work: that you may be perfect and entire, failing in nothing. 5 But if any of you want wisdom, let him ask of God who giveth to all men abundantly and upbraideth not. And it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, which is moved and carried about by the wind. 7 Therefore let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is inconstant in all his ways. 9 But let the brother of low condition glory in his exaltation: 10 And the rich, in his being low: because as the flower of the grass shall he pass away. 11 For the sun rose with a burning heat and parched the grass: and the flower thereof fell off, and the beauty of the shape thereof perished. So also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. 12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for, when he hath been proved, he shall receive the crown of life which God hath promised to them that love him. 13 ¶ Let no man, when he is tempted, say that he is tempted by God. For God is not a tempter of evils: and he tempteth no man. 14 But every man is tempted by his own concupiscence, being drawn away and allured. 15 Then, when concupiscence hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. But sin, when it is completed, begetteth death. 16 Do not err, therefore, my dearest brethren. 17 Every best gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change nor shadow of alteration. 18 For of his own will hath he begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be some beginning of his creature. 19 ¶ You know, my dearest brethren. And let every man be swift to hear, but slow to speak and slow to anger. 20 For the anger of man worketh not the justice of God. 21 Wherefore, casting away all uncleanness and abundance of naughtiness, with meekness receive the ingrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be ye doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if a man be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he shall be compared to a man beholding his own countenance in a glass. 24 For he beheld himself and went his way and presently forgot what manner of man he was. 25 But he that hath looked into the perfect law of liberty and hath continued therein, not becoming a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work: this man shall be blessed in his deed. 26 And if any man think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue but deceiving his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. 27 Religion clean and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation and to keep one’s self unspotted from this world. (DRV) Jms:3: 1 ¶ Be ye not many masters, my brethren, knowing that you receive the greater judgment. 2 For in many things we all offend. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man. He is able also with a bridle to lead about the whole body. 3 For if we put bits into the mouths of horses, that they may obey us: and we turn about their whole body. 4 Behold also ships, whereas they are great and are driven by strong winds, yet are they turned about with a small helm, whithersoever the force of the governor willeth. 5 Even so the tongue is indeed a little member and boasteth great things. Behold how small a fire kindleth a great wood. 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is placed among our members, which defileth the whole body and inflameth the wheel of our nativity, being set on fire by hell. 7 For every nature of beasts and of birds and of serpents and of the rest is tamed and hath been tamed, by the nature of man. 8 But the tongue no man can tame, an unquiet evil, full of deadly poison. 9 By it we bless God and the Father: and by it we curse men who are made after the likeness of God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 11 Doth a fountain send forth, out of the same hole, sweet and bitter water? 12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear grapes? Or the vine, figs? So neither can the salt water yield sweet. 13 ¶ Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge, among you? Let him shew, by a good contestation, his work in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter zeal, and there be contention in your hearts: glory not and be not liars against the truth. 15 For this is not wisdom, descending from above: but earthly, sensual, devilish. 16 For where envying and contention is: there is inconstancy and every evil work. 17 But the wisdom that is from above, first indeed is chaste, then peaceable, modest, easy to be persuaded, consenting to the good, full of mercy and good fruits, without judging, without dissimulation. 18 And the fruit of justice is sown in peace, to them that make peace. (DRV) 2Pt:3: 1 ¶ Behold this second epistle I write to you, my dearly beloved, in which, I stir up by way of admonition your sincere mind: 2 That you may be mindful of those words which I told you before from the holy prophet and of your apostles, of the precepts of the Lord and Saviour. 3 ¶ Knowing this first: That in the last days there shall come deceitful scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 Saying: Where is his promise or his coming? For since the time that the fathers slept, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5 For this they are wilfully ignorant of: That the heavens were before, and the earth out of water and through water, consisting by the word of God: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished. 7 But the heavens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of the ungodly men. 8 ¶ But of this one thing be not ignorant, my beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 ¶ The Lord delayeth not his promise, as some imagine, but dealeth patiently for your sake, not willing that any should perish, but that all should return to penance, 10 But the day of the Lord shall come as a thief, in which the heavens shall pass away with great violence and the elements shall be melted with heat and the earth and the works which are in it shall be burnt up. 11 ¶ Seeing then that all these things are to be dissolved, what manner of people ought you to be in holy conversation and godliness? 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of the Lord, by which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with the burning heat? 13 But we look for new heavens and a new earth according to his promises, in which justice dwelleth. 14 Wherefore, dearly beloved, waiting for these things, be diligent that you may be found before him unspotted and blameless in peace. 15 And account the longsuffering of our Lord, salvation: as also our most dear brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, hath written to you: 16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction. 17 You therefore, brethren, knowing these things before, take heed, lest being led aside by the error of the unwise, you fall from your own steadfastness. 18 But grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and unto the day of eternity, Amen. (DRV) 1Cor:2: 1 ¶ And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not in loftiness of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of Christ. 2 For I judged not myself to know anything among you, but Jesus Christ: and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching was not in the persuasive words of human wisdom. but in shewing of the Spirit and power: 5 That your faith might not stand on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God. 6 ¶ Howbeit we speak wisdom among the perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, neither of the princes of this world that come to nought. 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, a wisdom which is hidden, which God ordained before the world, unto our glory: 8 Which none of the princes of this world knew. For if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard: neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But to us God hath revealed them by his Spirit. For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man that is in him? So the things also that are of God, no man knoweth, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now, we have received not the spirit of this world, but the Spirit that is of God: that we may know the things that are given us from God. 13 Which things also we speak: not in the learned words of human wisdom, but in the doctrine of the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the sensual man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God. For it is foolishness to him: and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined. 15 But the spiritual man judgeth all things: and he himself is judged of no man. 16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. (DRV)
