INTRODUCTION OF CRISTO RAUL TO THE HISTORY OF THE
POPES, ESPECIALLY, AND TO THE HISTORY OF THE REFORMATION, GENERALLY
FIRST PART
THEOLOGICAL
We must to say it, “Yes we are at War!”. Now let’s see how we have
arrived to this conclusion and why we can say it without exposing ourselves to
some kind of pathological delusion. Yes, we have heard, didn’t we? : “Faith is a neurosis”. But what else could we expect from the enemy,
lilies and roses? We are the Christians, we have been exposed to all kinds of
monstrous persecutions since the day of the Birth of Christ, many Christians
are being murdered in this very hour because their Faith, our Faith. And
notwithstanding this state of war we got to say it, “Yes, the worst of our
enemies came out of from among us”. We, the Christians, nourished them, we made
them strong, to live, to love, to fight against our Enemy. And we failed, they
turned their back on us, they went to the enemy and fought us. They declared
War on Christianity and handled against us the most lethal weapons : Science, Politics,
Money”.
But what is it all this about? We may love our fellow men as we love
ourselves, and yet it would be a non-Christian attitude to leave
our souls running to the side of the Devil. In the Words of our King : “To win the world at the price of your soul?,
not worth, don’t even think about it”. So, whatever we think and do we hold on
our Faith, no breach allowed, no breach to be made, our Intellect having being
created to reach the Likeness of our Divine Creator we can take a look at our
History, especially, and the History of the World, generally, from the highness
of the Thought of God.
And departing from the mentality of the generations that preceded us, we
ask ourselves : “Is there any glory to boast about in a Creation crawling its
way through a Perpetual State of Civil War World?”. I mean, God is infinitely
Clever and infinitely Powerful and all He could think of was it this play, a
History of Horror?”. No wonder Calvin’s answer : “Yes, God created some to be
demons and some to be angels”. Hey bro, guess what Calvin was, angel or demon?
All in all is nonsense. We are sons of God. We know positively that our
Father in heaven never meant this play. Hard to deny it is not so, isn’t? Can
we really just turn our back on those poor fools who declared : “God is dead?”.
They are dead. God is alive, the question is “how were they pushed to such
extreme view?”.
And so the time is come to look around us, not in Space but in Time.
Because that what really make us living Images of God is the power of our souls
to walk in Time, to shoot our eyes to the other side of the horizon and create
the Future from the Past, when the Past is the present day, this is to say,
Here and Now. No animal, no species got this power, and we see this, that the
most humans walk away from God the most likely they walk into a new realm of
evolution : from man to beast. To this
new species, from man to beast, Time means nothing, and accordingly they move
like the beast, to whom the Intellect is a tool for living, just as the four
legs and big claws are for the jungle’s wild king.
We see, we understand, we don’t like it, we got to think why all this is
happening. God is infinitely Powerful, God is infinitely Wise. Do we miss
something? May it be that God is infinitely Himself and He can create both, a
play of glory and a play of horror, and in our case we simply are His Horror
Playtime? The Universe is just the Playground where God disguised Himself,
following Calvin, now in Christ, now in Satan, and so He kills His time?
Were we not Christians if we give way to Calvin’s answer. Calvin was absolving
the Devil from Free-Will, and as he who got not Free-will he is a beast, and as
beasts cannot be taken into a Court of Justice, so the Devil; ergo, Christ was
another actor in God’s Play, there is no Freedom at all, the Protestants are
angels, the Catholics are demons. Hey Man, we are the champions of the world,
let’s kill them all!
So, we were to the this side of the abyss. Darkness is all around and
confusion is our fate. Where is the light? Where are those promises of God :
“Peace will reign, Justice will rule, sickness will be no more, hunger will be
gone, Love will fill the heart of Mankind”. Was he God playing us one more
time?
Enough, then, with this contemporizing. We stand our ground, the
Innocence of God is beyond discussion. And even when He took responsibility on
the Fall of Man he did so because He was
Innocent. He had no part whichever in the Fall of Man. Calvin was a liar and
son of a Liar. Christ was not playing on us the God Shepherd, He was our King buying
from God the Right to Conquer our World and be the Leader of the Nations in the
Day of the Final Battle between God and His Enemy for the Universal Salvation
of the Human Kind. Christ’s Blood was not Hollywood tomato. Calvin, simply,
gave way to the Speech of the Devil.
But, who is the Enemy of God? This is the main question : “Father, why
have you forsaken me?”. It was the
Question to the World from the Son of
God. He knew he was going to rise from the dead. He was the Son who said : “Let
there be Light”, He was that same Jesus hanging of the Christ who said : “Let’s
make Man to our Image”, ergo, a son of God. Jesus wasn’t just getting delirious
because a pain, common to the two fellows at His sides. To be crucified was the death penalty of the day. Nothing to
be scared for. Jesus wasn’t being treated beyond the limits of the endurance of
men to go through pain, hardship and hell. He wasn’t protesting : He was making
us a Question : “WHY am I being crucified?”.
Because God was at War! Because
God is at War!
Which lead us to the Question wherefrom there is no turning back. “Who
is the Enemy of God?”.
The Devil? That fool who thought He could beat God in a face to face
fight?
I mean, a creature of God Himself, a creature whom He created from the
Dust, as we have been, declaring War on God, His Creator?
The Foundation of the Human History is clear : “Let’s make Man to our
likeness”. Ergo, all the sons of God were created to the Image of the Son, to
be sons of God. And as we know that the Son is One with the Father, in all
glory and power, we infer from this that all the sons of God were created to
grow in Intelligence without limits and
move in Time on the Wings of the Omniscience of God, their Universal Creator.
So we too. Then? It was from Free-Will that the sons of God declared War on
God. They knew perfectly what they were doing. The only thought left to us it
this : “Where their Madness came from?”.
Listen to this : God is infinitely wise, God is infinitely powerful, and
God’s Innocent on the Fall of Man is Infinite.
Excuse me, Sir, have I read well?
Well, for all I know, yeah.
And suddenly a stupid piece of flesh and bones goes to God and spit in
His Face : War on you, I want you dead”, right?
I mean, don’t you see something is wrong in this way of reading the
Roots of our Faith? What are we missing? Because being infinitely wise and
powerful, and infinitely wanting not the Fall of Man, “How was possible that
the Fall came to happen?”.
Are we not missing something? “WHY did it happen?”, “Why have you
forsaken me?”, in the lips of Adam. He was dead, but his son, the son of Man,
took it up from his father’s grave and shoot his father’s question to the
World, the Question he made to himself and to God right after his Fall: WHY is
this happening?
The Answer we have been given got many faces. The Classic, the Catholic,
leave in the blue the final words and, accordingly, give us Dogma as the
Shield, Sword and Armor thanks to which Ignorance can’t beat Faith. The
Calvinist reformation said theses final words : The World is a fake, God is the
Faker and there is nothing to complaint about it, hail those who are born to glory and to hell
with those born to go to hell.
Lutheran Reformation did not enter in these matters and left the
Catholic answer as it was given by the Church’s Fathers of Old. No wonder the
Hate between Luther and Calvin; in Theology, Luther was a Catholic. Calvin was
defending the Devil, and damming Christ for deceiving us all. According to
Christ, this is, according to the Catholic Theology, to the Church’s Fathers of
Old, God had nothing to do with the Fall of Man, and if He did feel responsible
of it, what He did, He felt so because the Assassin was a son of God, He knew
that that “bull” had been already found beating His Creation, and He found
Himself incapable of stopping that “bull” to keep on hitting His Law.
Before this point of Ignorance, this is to say, “WHY a creature dared to
declared WAR on God? and WHY God could not stop a son of His to declare War on
His Kingdom?, the Fathers of the Church build the Catholic Dogma : God is Love,
the Son came down from Heaven because Love for Men, the Devil declared War on
the Kingdom of God because he wanted for Himself the Throne of the Son of God.
All Christians have to stand this ground and he who does not, he is not a son
of God, he is not a Christian. Ergo, Calvin was not a Christian.
But, again and again, the Dogma was not born to answer the Question WHY,
but to protect and defend Faith until the Answer was born. No wonder that
Luther, recognizing his limits, though declaring War on Catholics because the
Roman Church, he did not, under no circumstances, break with the Catholic
Theology.
Now, we have made our point. Yes, where came from the madness of Adam’s
murderer? We have him there, Adam, on his knees, watching the world’s wars, his
soul hit by the Horrors the World is been through ever since, and having given
full thought to the Question : He raises his voices from his bleeding heart and
says : “WHY?”.
The Question passes straight from son to Father. If the son ask himself
“Why is this happening?”, the Father ask Himself : “Why has this come to
happen?”.
God doesn’t need to think of Himself as theology thinks of God. He is
who He is. He was Him, the Father of Jesus, the King of the Jews, who created
the Big-Bang out of which the Old Cosmos was reborn and a New Cosmos created to
expand forever came to light.
Yes, God can blow away from the face of the Universe anything,
everything, at any moment. He can create so many world as He likes and destroy
them at Will. Who would rise his voice to accuse Him of being cruel and
merciless? The thing is that God has “a creative soul”. He loves Creation. To
create is His star. Creation is His Art, that what Music is to the Musician,
Painting to the painter, Writing to the writer, Creation of World and Universes
is to God. Creation is His Vocation. He loves what He does and He needs to do
what He loves. And as a True Creator he feels that love for His Creation
natural to “the creator’s soul”. He would not destroyed, He will push His Power
to the limits, always running behind Perfection, always fighting for the Wonder
of the wonders, a Wonder in which to sign His Name and be His Glory.
Oh yeah we all heard this, didn’t we?
And where is the Glory in this Masterpiece of Horror the Human Kind
lives?
“I didn’t”, says God, “I didn’t sign the Book of History of Mankind.
Someone else, while I was resting before writing the Epilogue, came around and
sign his name at the bottom of my work, stealing the Book of Man’s History from
me”.
Our Question is “Who or What”?
Adam’s Question was WHY? And his son in Abraham, the King of the Jews, rescued
his question from the grave, got the answer and died in God’s Name, for the
sake of Mankind. On the way from His resurrection to us terrible Chapters have
been added to the Book of the History of Christianity, in especial, and to the
History of the World, in general.
In the Search for the Understanding that will free us all from the Ignorance
against which the Dogma was made, it is only natural to rise our Thought to the
History of God Himself. If there is a War on God, already raging, it is because
God has an Enemy. And we are not talking of the Devil, that mad, once a son of
God, who thought he could put God on His
knees; we are talking of an Enemy of the Nature of God, this is to say, an Uncreated
Enemy.
We are talking about Death. But as many of our Christians fellows do,
probably, have little idea of the meaning of this Word : “Uncreation”, let’s take a walk to a time beyond Time.
UNCREATION
“God is uncreated”, we say. With this we mean “God cannot be created”. God is not the highest phase of Evolution. All
the poor guys around the Earth saying that they are gods, reincarnation of God,
and so forth, they are poor mad people who had been forced to swallow madness
as wisdom. We see this madness working its way from the days after the Fall,
when the kings declared themselves to be living gods on Earth; the Romans rescued
this madness in the days after Octavio Augustus; too late to be taken seriously
though. Anyway, the madness of the mind sails the ocean of ignorance in which
trouble waters our History was thrown because the Fall of Man. No one, not even
the sons of God dare to say of themselves : “we are gods”. And to those who
did, the answer of God was a laconic one: “Yeah, you are indeed, but you will
bite the dust as any other beast”.
So, we have to get rid of madness and ignorance if we want to see
reality as it is. “God exists in Infinity since Eternity”. Well, the Cosmos if
finite, they say. Or answer cannot be
more direct , if Infinity is hard to theorize, to sustain the hypothesis of an infinite
space inside a finite cosmos, as the enunciation proclaims, is the product of a
madness. Of course, to give to this madness of infinity in “finity”
a legal course the mad men of the XXth Century give
way in to Fiction, and engendered that wonder of wonders: The Science-Fiction Hypothesis
called Relativity. The nature of mental madness related to the Intellect it is a pathological medium pushing reality
out of the way, to bring the fiction in which the madman lives as the New World
Reality, the only scenario in which the madman’s fantasy can survive. The intellectual
madman got to twist the world’s reality, he got to curve Time an, created the
voyage in space through holes in imaginary fields, and so on and so forth. He
is a madman and thinks as such. Infinity is a word we understand and our Intellect
comprehend; a “finity” involving Infinity is a
madness no understandable for the Human Intellect and accordingly the madman
have to twist to the extremes his fantasy to the point of absolute delusion,
which is the state of intellect in which Science actually abides.
We have these Three Factors : Eternity, Infinity and God. Take one by
one and try to apprehend fully their Nature. Obviously as we are born yesterday,
have never leave Earth, and have never seen God, we can recur to the madman
twisting infinity into “finity”, Eternity into a
snake biting his tail, and burying God as man’s madness. Whether the Astronomical
Revolution by the Radio-Astronomy Technology has put down that Perfect Castle on
the air of the XXth Century’s Schizoid Madman, it
does not matter. A madman does not care about the Sanity of the Sane Man; he is
the sane. That’s why is a madman.
However, Time is related to Movement, and Space to Matter. When we say that
“Eternity, Infinity and God are Uncreated”, we are saying that Matter is Uncreated
and Energy, the source of Universal Motion, is uncreated also. Which lead us to
Saint Thomas and Newton. People that we esteem a lot but whom we will bid
farewell and follow our journey from Earth to Heaven.
And where Life and Death come from? ‘Cause it is God Himself who said “I
only have been formed, there is no God
but me!”. Words which confront us with a marvelous question. “I have been
formed”, and yet God is Uncreated, God is not the last highest phase of an
evolution process. When He says I have been formed he is not speaking on His
Nature, but a process of Formation related to His Intellect, this is to say, to
His relation with Eternity and Infinity, Space and Matter, this is to say :
With the Structure of the Universal Reality. A Reality in which Life and Death
were Uncreated entities.
Let’s put it this way, God was the metaphysical Cause of the Universal
Motion. But the Universal Motion itself rested upon the Forces of the Uncreation
System. God was the Eternal Wanderer in Time and Space. The Universes came and
went but He always remained. Life and Death were parts of the Uncreated System.
The Worlds came and went in a perfect Cosmic System where Life and Death were
the two faces of the same Cosmos. There
was not confrontation between Life and Death. God had no part in the succession
of the universes and the birth and death of the worlds. He was the Child of
Infinity and Eternity, so to speak.
But one day God had a dream. Wonderful as that dream was, Immortality
for all, it meant the Need of the extirpation of the Uncreation of Death. I
mean, Immortality for all it meant a brain chirurgical operation, so to speak,
by the own patient. Uncreation could not all by itself do this extirpation of
Death from its own System. God could have said : “Well, don’t bother, it’s all
right”. He didn’t. He wanted Immortality for All and He meant it. A process of
Formation of the Intelligence of God had to be started, at the end of which God
would be the Physical Cause of the Creation, after which a Final Battle would
be begun between Death and God Himself , the Goal of Which will be the
Extirpation of Death from the Body of Infinity and Eternity by God Himself.
This Final Battle is the War was proclaimed on The Holy Ghost in the
Eden Garden. That Day was the Day God saw with His own eyes His true Enemy,
this is to say, the Day Infinity and Eternity laid at His feet for the sake of the
extirpation of Death from its Body. Once done, the Creation System would be
forever born.
That was the Answer Adam could not find to his WHY? This was the Answer
the son of Man and King of the Jews was writing in the Book of History when He
said : “Why have forsaken me?”.
DEATH AND CHRISTIANITY
We would revisited the History of God in the Divine History of Jesus to
follow the Formation of God in the Science of Creation, the Creation of God’s
World, the New Cosmos and the Destruction of the Old, the Uncreation of the
Father and the Son, and the Wars of the Empire of God, the mind in coming at
the Feet of the son of Man hanging on His Cross, with the desire to follow Him
to the grave and share His resurrection,
His Rising to the Throne of the Universal Kingdom, on which Basis the New
Cosmos, the System of Creation has been founded upon the Rock of the Victory of
the God of Infinity and Eternity over Death. What is on stake since the Victory
of the Father and the Son in the Holy Spirit is the Salvation of the Human Kind.
And to reach the field of Victory we have to see with our own eyes the Enemy
once God saw with His, DEATH, because DEATH is our Enemy.
It is Death, an Uncreated Force, which has been spreading Terror upon
the Human Nations ever since the Fall, whose obscure goal was to make Mankind abominable
to His Creator. After all, we are adopted sons, What’s God’s problem?
The Problem with God is That He is LOVE: and He loves His sons, adopted
though, as true sons; and He would not give up.
