Humanity Needs Every Religion At Its Best

Humanity needs every religion at its best

I can imagine that when I say there is a New Message from God in the world, and that the man Marshall Vian Summers is its Messenger, there is a snort of derision. I do not blame the deriders and ridiculers. After all, a great many new religious movements have come and gone over the years. They have collapsed due to a lack of nobility or a lack of strength, or both. I can imagine people wondering “What does this New Message from God ‘want?’ Does it want to be one of the ‘cool kids’ of the world’s religions? Or being the ‘leader of the pack?’ Getting the lion’s share of religions resources?”

Humanity needs every religion at its best

I say that the answer to this question is “None of these.” I have hoped the New Message would be an uplifting influence, like sugar in the milk of the world’s religions. The New Message has an answer for this question in the revelation “Buddha and the New Message from God.”

“If you understand Our words, you will see that they are vitally important. But they hold more meaning than you can see at the outset. Our Voice, Our Presence, Our Words, the Messenger being in the world, the Steps to Knowledge being given, made available to everyone to practice and to study. It is so elemental. It is so perfect—perfect for these times and the times to come. Not to replace religion necessarily, but to infuse it with life, Spirit, purpose, meaning and the need for reconciliation.”

My nation needs its religion at its best

I live in the United States. There are slightly over 200 million Christians in this country. I have no desire for the New Message from God to replace Christianity, but to infuse it with life. I have said these words to individuals, but I feel an inclination to say them to whosoever will hear them.

I wish to declare and to demonstrate that as a student of the New Message from God, I will no harm to the Body of Christ. I wish for the gospel to have its salutary effects on every Christian. I desire the flow of the Holy Spirit to be unquenched. I hope for all schisms within the Body of Christ to be resolved. I want degenerating influences to be identified and counteracted.

How will I demonstrate this? I don’t know yet. I’m working on it. I hope to have similar declarations for other religions. All I know is that humanity needs every religion at its best. My nation needs its religion at its best.

Behold, A Revelation Jubilee

liberty-bell Behold, a revelation jubilee

In what is called by some the Torah, and by others the Pentateuch, instruction is given for what is called “the year of jubilee,” described in Leviticus 25. It was scheduled to occur once every 50 years.

Behold, a revelation jubilee

In the year of jubilee, debts were forgiven. In the year of jubilee, Israelite slaves were freed. In the year of jubilee, families returned to the land they lived on 50 years ago. This law emphasized that ownership was a temporary phenomenon. This law would prevent the multi-generational concentration of wealth in certain families.

Behold, a revelation jubilee. I have been told that the year of Jubilee was observed during the period of the first temple (10th century BC to 587 BC). It is still considered to be an inspired idea by many. The founders of America had a verse from Leviticus cast on what is now known as the Liberty Bell; “Proclaim liberty throughout the land, and to all the inhabitants thereof.” (Leviticus 25:10, King James Version)

Behold, a revelation jubilee. I mention this to share my answer to one of the questions that was asked at the recent 2016 Encampment of the New Message from God. After listening to the revelation “The Requirements of the Messenger,” we pondered the question “What could the emergence of a New Messenger mean for you, for others, and for the world?” The words that rang and sang inside me were “a religious jubilee.”

Behold, a revelation jubilee. What is involved in this religious jubilee? Certain debts are being forgiven. The debt of Buddhists seeking to escape the world they came to serve. The debt of Christians threatening hell and damnation when God’s plan is to save everyone. The debt of Muslims engaging in war and violence in the name of Islam.

Behold, a revelation jubilee. The year of jubilee could be thought of as a “reset,” a fresh start, a chance to recover from the errors of the past and go forward with greater wisdom. I consider the emergence of the New Message from God to be just such a jubilee.
