For the past few weeks I have been in conflict over the teachings of the Christian church and the truth that I know as fact. In fact it has been the stupidity of Christians who claim to believe that the Bible is without fault and is the inspired word of God that has been the source of my conflict. Those same Christians have the audacity to claim that no one can be ordained unless they had graduated from a Theological school or seminary.
Christians and scientists alike fall into "two classes of doubters [rejectors] in regard to [who can and who cannot be ordained and even deny] psychical phenomena as fact to whom we wish to refer. First, there are those persons who refuse to make any inquiry or to receive any information on the subject, on the grounds that as the alleged phenomena cannot possibly be true, all testimony concerning them must of necessity be either a deliberate falsehood or the outcome of hallucination. Thousands of Christians take this line. Apparently unconscious of the illogical position they assume, they will assure one that they accept without a shadow of doubt all the statements of the Bible as to appearances after death and other spiritual phenomena, and in the next breath will label an ever-accumulating mass of testimony in regard to similar present-day phenomena as fraud or delusion".
Those same Christians have the audacity to refuse to accept the fact that a person ordained by a denominational church or legal religious association such as the NSAC or the SCC, that are chartered in there countries state, providence and federal capital is as legal as there own denominational minister's ordination. In 1893, The National Spiritualist Association of the United States of America was incorporated in Washington D. C. as a religion. Even though the NSA has had a couple of name changes over the years, it remained an incorporated nationally incorporated religion. Through out the world other Spiritualist associations were incorporated in there national capitals as a religion. Spiritualist churches and associations don't have any dogmas or creeds that their ministers and congregations are required to accept and practice. However, Spiritualism does have suggested seven principles (that if a member so desires) that are recommended for one to practice.
The narrow mindedness and the god complex of certain people through out the centuries have been the cause of wars and the killing of millions of innocent people.
In 328 C.E., the Catholic Church was established under the directorship of Emperor Constantent. Constantine gave the first pope of the church power that was next to his. This fact has given the church the power to determine the life and death of millions of people throughout the world. In Mexico, under the blessing of the church Cortex massacred millions of natives just because they refused to accept Catholicism. Those millions were considered to be heathens and had to be disposed of. The Protestant church did the same thing to millions of native Americans. It is a know fact that "absolute power corrupts absolutely".
History has proven that man, with his free will, can be extremely brutal and thoughtless of others. When a person wants to serve his God in a church, regardless of whether it is Spiritualist or a Christian church should be allowed to do so as long as they are not trying to introduce a different theology than the church they wish to serve. If a person meets the churches requirements, then all should be well.
I am a fully ordained Spiritualist minister with the Spiritualist Church of Canada (SCC), the SCC was originally chartered as The Spiritualists' National Union of Canada. "The Spiritualists' National Union (SNU) was incorporated by the Province of Ontario on 27 April 1929, and the Spiritualists' National Union of Canada, headquartered at Toronto, was incorporated by the Government of Canada on the same date. The SNU of Canada was originally affiliated with the SNU of Great Britain. In 1974, the SNU of Canada amalgamated with the remaining churches of the National Spiritualist Association of Canada, Inc., which had been incorporated by the Government of Canada on 5 July 1928. In 1978, the SNU of Canada changed its name to Spiritualist Church of Canada (SCC)".
Can anyone deny that an ordained minister of a legally chartered church/ denomination be denied there status under federal law as being anything but legal and without question? Can the legally ordained ministers of that association be denied their ordination by some other denominational pastor, minister, priest or pastor? NO. Under federal law, a legally incorporated denomination religion and church's ministers have the same status as any other denomination's ministers that was established centuries ago.
Even spiritual phenomena that has been investigated and proven by numerous scientists, university professors, non-Spiritualist ministers, a Supreme Court judge and millions of Spiritualists investigators leaves no doubt in the minds of those individuals that spiritual phenomena is real and that life does continue after the change called death.
So, with all the proof presented by millions of people that world over for thousands of years by non-Spiritualist and Spiritualist alike, still don't believe in spiritual phenomena, why? Why is believing so bad? I believe the source of the problem is the fear that the large denominational church has instilled in their congregations over several thousand years. The Bible is full of spiritual phenomena. The difference between Spiritualist phenomena and Biblical phenomena is the credited source of the phenomena.
The God of the Bible used prophesy, hand writing on the wall, dreams and other phenomena to instill in the heart and minds of the Israeli people of old that if they continue to do certain things, they would suffer the consequences. The consequences were due to the breaking of Spiritual Law, not from a God of wrath.
Jesus came into this world to prove to man that God is a God of love. It was never God's intent that His children should suffer for wrong thinking and acts. The Spiritual Laws govern the universe, in the seen and unseen worlds, and all the laws have pros and cons associated with them. This fact is all that the God of the Bible was trying to instill in His people.
Spiritual phenomena, ordained ministers are all governed by spiritual and physical laws. Laws that were established hundreds and even millions of years ago for the benefit of the universe and all there in. Who can deny the proof presented by history and the testimony of millions? Only the ignorant and hard headed blind people of this world.
