a spiritual place; a physical temple within the heart of man. His light is
present—not a pretense of being present—wherein the Holy Spirit dwells;
not as a mystical body, but in reality a human body [bodies]. His Church
therefore is a spiritual gathering—where two or more gather, Jesus is there
in body form represented by each person. Unified by His Holy Spirit, the
mind of the Father is made known, revealed and affirmed by the son. The
Son is Heir Apparent according to the Father’s Will, endowed with a Holy
Spirit, which is a gift from the Father. This becomes obvious to those
endowed with the same spirit but at varying intensities. Regardless of how
overwhelming this may seem, the individual will must be aligned to the
Divine Will. The two must be one will, which is essential for our
compliance.
Out of a mountain God cuts a rock, and from the rock a stone is cast off; a
worthless stone in the eyes of the builders, and perhaps, by all of humanity.
However, Jesus posed the question: “Have you never read in the
Scriptures: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone; the
Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes!’ ‘Therefore I tell you
that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people
who will produce its fruit. He who falls on this stone will be broken to
pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.’”
(Matthew 21:41-44)
Simon Son of Jonah, whose name was changed to Petros [“rock”], was
chosen to establish a church [a gathering of people]; eleven others were sent
with the intention of gathering and feeding the sheep. They were the
original builders chosen and the Papal line. Peter and those in succession
were the rock or builders upon which His church was founded. So, “the
stone the builders rejected” does not apply to Jesus. Yes, it is true that the
Jewish leaders rejected Jesus, but they were not the builders chosen by
Jesus. The Papal lineage is not the sign of Jonah that Jesus referred to when
He said,
“A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign!
But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah
was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of
Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.”
(Matthew
12: 39-40)
Jonah at first refused to inform the people according to what God
asked. Once delivered from his experience with the fish, did he speak—this
is the sign of Jonah.
A mere man that God cut from the rock [delivered and rejected by the
builders or Papal line], who is anointed by the Father, and unknown to the
world at large is symbolic of the sign of Jonah. Similar to David—the little
