Battle lines are being drawn on the web for a confrontation so contentious, any clash of civilizations will have to wait its turn. On one side, a single manuscript by an unknown author titled: The Final Freedoms, against all the gravitas two thousands years of religious tradition can bring to bear.

This, the first wholly new interpretation for 2000 years of the moral teachings of Jesus the Christ focuses specifically and comprehensively on marriage and human sexuality, challenging all natural law theory and theology. At stake are several thousand years of religious tradition and history.

What at first appears an utterly preposterous challenge to the religious status quo rewards those who persevere in closer examination, for it carries within its pages an idea both subtle and sublime, what the combined intellectual histories of religion and science have either ignored or dismissed as impossible. An error of presumption which could now leave tradition staring into the abyss and humble the heights of scientific speculation. For if this material is confirmed, and there appears to be both the means and a concerted effort to authenticate it, the greatest unresolved questions of human existence may finally have been untangled.

Published only on the web and distributed freely as a pdf download, made up of twenty nine chapters and three hundred and seventy pages, this new teaching has nothing whatsoever to do with any existing religious conception known to history. It is unique in every respect.

Using a synthesis of hundreds of scriptural elements from the Old and New Testaments, the Apocrypha , The Dead Sea Scrolls,The Nag Hammadi Library, and some of the worlds greatest poetry, it describes and teaches a single moral LAW, a single moral principle and offers its own proof; one in which the reality of God responds to an act of perfect faith with a direct, individual intervention into the natural world; making a correction to human nature by a change in natural law, altering biology, consciousness, human ethical perception, and providing new, primary insight and understanding of the human condition.

Also called the Gospel of the Resurrection, this new interpretation reveals the moral foundation of all human thought and conduct and finds expression within a new covenant of human spiritual union, the marriage [Hieros gamos] between one man and one woman. It resolves the most intractable questions and issues of human sexuality and offers possibilities for peace, health, healing and cultural development political process has yet to dream of.

This new teaching is pure ethics. It requires no institutional framework, no churches, no priest craft, no scholastic theological rational, costs nothing and ‘worship’ requires only conviction, faith and the necessary measure of self discipline to accomplish a new moral imperative.

As the first ever religious teaching able to demonstrate its own efficacy, the first ever religious claim to knowledge that meets both the ideal and criteria of the most rigourous, testable scientific method, this teaching enters the public domain as a reality entirely new to human history.

The beginnings of an intellectual and moral revolution are unfolding on the web. And anyone trying to imagine where solutions to the worlds most difficult conundrums will come from, may comprehend from this material, the catalyst that might very well define the very future of humanity and the earth itself!

The cunundrum is that if God is everything, He is us and we are Him. If not, He must be a more supreme being then us, or other than us.

The idea of 'God is everything' sounds like pantheism, which fails to represent the chasm between the Creator and the creation. Yet this chasm does not mean that there cannot be a link between the Creator and the creation, which is I think your worry. You are trying to balance the 'wholly otherness' of God with the fact that He became incarnate.
I hate to sound like a broken record, but I think that the essence/energy distinction might help in this regard. In Orthodoxy, we believe that the internal plan of each nature (entelechy) stems from God's eternal energies. In other words, the created essences and eternal energies of God are different, getting rid of pantheism, but the created essences can actualize their natures by participating in the divine energies, thereby establishing the link between the Creation and the Creator.
Let me be more down-to-earth. Both of us have a human nature. That human nature has an end (a telos). But how do you actualize that end? By participating in the divine energies which contain the telos of human nature! So when you fast, pray, give alms to others, read the Bible, and try to live a Christian life, you actualize your human nature by participating in the divine energies. This brings me to the second part of your post:
quote:
You make it sound if energies are independent of essence. How can this be? Goodness and wisdom are energies. What is the source? Who or what created these energies? Can new energies be created that we know nothing about? Taken away?You most likely will say that God is these energies, but did God create them? If not, from where did they arise?

You ask great questions Lightship! Let me try to answer them to the best of my ability. Energies are not independent of essence. In fact, the divine energies stem from the divine essence. They are metaphysically distinct, but they are not disconnected. This is why Palamas said that 'God is wholly present in each of His energies'. Furthermore, since the energies stem from the essence, the energies cannot be created. On the contrary, if you read St. Maximus or St. Gregory Palamas, you will see that they repeat several times that the divine energies are uncreated. But God is not exhausted by these energies because His essence remains beyond us, so the essence/energy distinction maintains both God's trascendence and His immanence which is, I think, the problem you are wrestling with.

Klatu, the problem is, is that if people do not read this website, or even know about this web site,is this a threat. Certainly, like Hitler it can grow, but the probability is so low as to be fearless. The greater fear is that people are losing touch with eachother due to the web, and what will they rplace their need for companionship or a god with? I'd say "what" will they replace this need with, but I should focus on "who" will step in to take this place?

I'm Catholic and believe in God. Even if i have a different religion, I would still believe until proven otherwise.

a)The Jungian Theory of Syncronicity, is a clear demonstration that everything in this Universe is predeterminated.The Heisenberg's Indetermination Principle comes from the human ignorance (we cannot see the reality in its totality)...so only an ignorant,can believe in Free Will.

b)Matter is a complex form of energy; Energy is a complex form of Information; Information...is God's Thought. The Universe is God...so we are parts of God.

c) Every kind of "human desire",is followed by a Chain of "Electron wave functions collapses" (in agreement with Schrödinger's Theory) which will not follow ours expectations! ...So the paradox is: if we want to get hold of something,we shouldn’t have to search for it. (Men stay still,and the mountains move...).
A curiosity: The connection between the electron wave-function and the human intent has to do with the fact that experiments have proved that the intentions of the operator of a radio transmission facility, directly and instrumentably alter the "footprint", the radiation pattern of the antenna. It has also been shown that the intent of the human being causes a divergence in the quantum field (which is the information field). Any divergence in the information field results in alterations of "probability", which directly influences the outcome of any system which contains any element of chance, directly influencing the resulting observable events. (See the work of Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research at http://www.princeton.edu/~pear/).

Notes:
"In agreement with Henri Bergson's thought (see the last pages of "Entre le temps et l'éternité" of Ilya Prigogine ,Librairie Arthème Fayard,Paris), we can accept the idea of a "Space-time absolute value", where all the "Space-time relativ values" are incorporated (in agreement with Einstein’s theory of relativity); the conclusion is that there is only one Real Matrix of the Universe...so every other possible /potential parallel "event/dimension/future" it's only a human illusion. All the other parallel Universes (or Multi-Universes,as Phd. Everett said) can only exist in our minds...perhaps whilst dreaming. Unfortunately several physicists are conditioned by Heisenberg's Principle of Indetermination...which, as you will know, is enough explain the existence of Free Will. Well, the Principle of Indetermination is hardly bound by the limits of observations made by the human brain. (We cannot see the reality in its totality...Bohm taught). If we accept the idea that our Universe really is God,well,in a infinite Caos of Energy too, there must to be a logical (but not for human brain),exact,specific,and perfectly organized ...Plan. How many significant (important) coincidences can happen to a person in his life,living in a unorganizated and stupid Universe?...I think no-one. Every synchronism in our life, is like an open-eyes-dream (Jung taught)...and we can thank the fine intelligence of our Universe...if they happen."
