and “codes of life”.
Christianity
and “codes of behavior”. Most people, when they think of Christianity, or most
any other religion, they may immediately think of some kind of “code of
behavior”. Why is this? Well, because religion tries to regulate what we might
call “morality”. All religions have basic moral principles that most might
agree with but then, it seems, they may introduce some activity that doesn’t
seem rational but instead amounts to something arbitrary.
Is there really an absolute “good” and “evil”? This seems to
be the unagreeable debate. As Ancient Antiochene Christians we understand God
to be absolute in many ways. We believe that God absolutely exists. If God
truly exists God must have certain ways about Himself. We call God “Him” to
denote the strength of God. In our physical human experience strength is
understood regarding the movement or manipulation of physical things so this
makes sense for us. As AACG Christians we also accept the motherly qualities of
God through “Sophia”, the Holy Spirit.
So, do our “Divine Parents” (God) have morals? We say
absolutely “YES”. Because we are Christians, we believe that God has revealed
much of His will for us humans through the Holy Scriptures. When we study our
Christian Bibles, we find that God leaves nothing out regarding the activities
of “fallen” human nature. The Bible describes the problems with man and even
man’s understandings about God. The Bible also gives solutions for our
behavioral and relationship issues.
We admit, as Christians, that good moral behavior
establishes good emotional and intellectual satisfactions. True morality makes
one feel good for him or herself, and others. There are some things in human
tradition, specifically religious things, that have changed because they have
been found “not to be needed” to assume proper moral issues. Most of the false
religious practices have amounted to properly understanding the superstitious
aspects of spirituality.
We could say that true “evil” is that which produces the
opposite of human pleasure. Whether a person is religious or not, they admit to
ideas of evil. As AACG Christians we understand that humanity has developed
differing conceptions of what is good and evil but at the same time we believe
that Divine Intelligence has revealed somewhat of an “absolute” regarding
certain aspects of moral behavior. These are revealed to us through God’s “only
begotten Son”, Jesus the Christ.
As true Christians, we understand that the human person known
as Jesus Christ is the exact “icon” of God in human flesh – demonstrating proper
life “understandings” [perception] and “living” for humans. So, Jesus Christ to
us is not a “religious founder” or “cult leader”. No. He is God Himself in the
full flesh for us. This makes sense, we being human need proper human
understandings from our Creator to live correctly.
As AACG Christians we learn to properly adjust our
perspective of everything. We begin to see God in everything when we begin to
understand God’s universal laws (Cosmic Law) - in everything and in everyone
that we experience God is operative.
As AACG Christians we recognize the fact of all the diverse interpretations
of morality within Christianity itself. Our planet has many denominations and
so called “non-denominational” sects of Christianity all touting their own
ideas about what is moral and what is not. People argue over what day you
should collectively worship on. Some churches give dietary laws. There are
different understandings of heaven and hell, spirit soul, etc. and multiple
interpretations of just who Jesus was.
As Ancient Antiochene Christians we truly believe that it is
very important to study the history of true Christianity and find out just what
the early church (first 451 years of the church) actually practiced, taught,
and believed in. We were first called Christians in ancient Antioch (Acts
11:26) so that is where we should always start. It is our prayer that if you have
read this you will give us an “ear” and learn about what we teach. We accept
the early beliefs of the Christian church and bring them up into modern application
and comprehension. This is important.
In a world experiencing extreme advancements in science,
UFO’s (UAP’s), robots, AI technology, etc. the Christian church needs to be
helpful in its responses. We truly believe that God’s word is eternally
applicable to every human. We recognize cultural relativity when it comes to
certain aspects of human relationship – not everything is absolutely “wrong”.
Having stated that, at the same time we do in fact believe in a static moral
reality and spirituality which is found in true Christianity.
In closing, we believe that God has given humanity a strong
foundation for true spiritual development, the “one true faith” which was “once
delivered”. It is time for Christians to begin serious dialogue with each other
to allow continued growth in the understandings of our God and our universe.
