1 Corinthians 14:34-35 Shame!women speak in church

34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. 35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. -1 Corinthians 14:34-35 Bible, King James Version 

This sounds to me like old customs which were brought into the church. In the Old Testament we read about female prophets. Should they not be able to talk in church? Just as there were male and female prophets there are both male and female Masters. For example, Beloved Mary the mother of Jesus is an Ascended Master.

20...Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron... -Exodus 15:20 Bible, King James Version

1 Corinthians 13:9-12 Men put away childish things

 
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
-1 Corinthians 13:9-12 Bible, King James Version (KJV)
 
Different churches and Religions represent varying degrees of Truth like Kindergartens, Primary and Intermediate schools for children, High schools for teenagers and Universities for adults where men and women can receive Masters Degrees. When we learn what the Ascended Masters are teaching we can put away the limited childish teachings of the orthodox priests so we can learn to become spiritual men or Ascended Masters also.

1 Corinthians 13:4-5 Charity thinketh no evil

4 Charity... 5 ...thinketh no evil -1 Corinthians 13:4-5 Bible, King James Version 

As a man thinks so is he spiritually either good or evil. We rise or fall spiritually in the inner Worlds according to the quality of our thoughts and feelings. The devil we must all overcome is our own human mind and emotions. If there is a battle between the mind and the emotions, the emotions usually win therefore the easiest way I believe to take control of the mind and the emotions is to open up the Heart chakra. This effectively closes the lower Solar-plexus chakra of emotion and replaces it with the Divine Love of the Heart chakra. Out of these higher Divine Feelings naturally flow pure thoughts just as evil thoughts naturally flow out of negative emotions such as anger.

1 Corinthians 13:2-3 Christians must have Charity

                      Form ist Leere by h.koppdelaney

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. -1 Corinthians 13:2-3 Bible, King James Version 

The essence of Heaven is Charity or Divine Love therefore unless we have an open Heart chakra filled with the Divine Love or Christ we are not worthy to enter into Heaven regardless of what great works we may have performed while living on the earth. The inner worlds are like a giant spiritual mirror which reflects the Light radiating from us. If we do not have this Heavenly Love radiating from us we will not be able to see Heaven but instead a world which reflects our own inner Light and Love. Those who have very little Love and Light within may find themselves in a hell.





1 Corinthians 9:17 A Dispensation of the Gospel


            The Ascended Masters Jesus and Saint Germain

 17  ...a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me. -1 Corinthians 9:17 Bible, King James Version

Two thousand years ago the Master Jesus brought forth a new dispensation of the Gospel to mankind. This contained more of the Truth than what had previously been taught by the prophets of the Old Testament. This was not however the Fullness of the Gospel therefore a new dispensation of the Gospel was brought forth in the 1930s by Saint Germain through the Saint Germain Foundation.

In this day and age Jesus teaches us that; the Goal of your Victory is the Ascension. …Because the Western world has not known it, does not alter the Truth in the slightest. Today, the Truth is before mankind. You have all known the long worn out statement: “Know the Truth and the Truth shall make you Free.” What is the Truth? It is the True Understanding of Life! …It is only the Whole Truth which will one day give you the Victory. The Whole Truth is within your own Life, your “Mighty I AM Presence.” 

According to Theosophy the Higher Physical Plane is known as the Etheric Plane where our Etheric body resides. This is the first Inner Spirit World. At the death of our Physical body the Etheric body usually also begins to die however this can take some time so the Theosophical Society recommends cremation as a way to speed up this process. The Etheric Plane is not an Ascended Masters Octave of Light but it is still referred to as an Octave of light. The Ascended Masters have brought forth a special Dispensation for I AM Students who are not able to complete the Ascension before the time of their passing: "There will be certain ones among the I AM Students for whom at the time of passing, not otherwise being able to complete the Ascension in this embodiment, the Purified Essence of the Physical body will be drawn up into the Etheric body. In this way they will be permitted to make the Ascension. That Assistance or Gift of Love is the most Magnificent Thing ever offered to mankind by Life. This Assistance will make it possible for thousands and thousands in the world to be set Free from the earth forever, who would otherwise require another embodiment. In all the experiences of the Ages never has such a thing been permitted by Life."

  

The Beloved Master Jesus teaches what He meant by Grace: "Now because of the Great Master Saint Germain's Use and Release of the Violet Consuming Flame, which was the "Grace" that I taught, mankind have been given the Way and Means of consuming their mistakes. If an individual has created discord thru mistakes of the past and in the Full Acceptance and Authority of the "Mighty I AM Presence," will call on the Law of Forgiveness, use the Violet Consuming Flame to dissolve and consume all that has been less than Perfection, then Life once again opens the Pathway into the Realm of Perfection!"

1 Corinthians 14:2 Is there a language of heaven?

For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. -1 Corinthians 14:2King James Version (KJV)

I realize for many Christians, speaking in tongues means to speak in another person's language however might it also mean speaking in the language of heaven?

Heaven and Hell, by Emanuel Swedenborg, [1758], tr. by John C. Ager [1900] at sacred-texts.com

234.
THE SPEECH OF ANGELS. Angels talk with each other just as men do in the world, and on various subjects, as on domestic matters, and on matters of the civil state, and of moral, and spiritual life. And there is no difference except that their talk is more intelligent than that of men, because it is from more interior thought. I have been permitted to associate with them frequently, and to talk with them as friend with friend, and sometimes as stranger with stranger; and as I was then in a state like theirs I knew no otherwise than that I was talking with men on the earth.
235.
Angelic speech, like human speech, is distinguished into words; it is also audibly uttered and heard; for angels, like men, have mouth, tongue, and ears, and an atmosphere in which the sound of their speech is articulated, although it is a spiritual atmosphere adapted to angels, who are spiritual. In their atmosphere angels breathe and utter words by means of their breath, as men do in their atmosphere. [235-1 In the heavens there is respiration, but it is of an interior kind (n. 3884, 3885) from experience (n. 3884, 3885, 3891, 3893). There are differing respirations there, varying in accordance with their states (n. 1119, 3886, 3887, 3889, 3892, 3893). The evil are wholly unable to breathe in heaven, and they are suffocated if they go there (n. 3894).]
236.
In the entire heaven all have the same language, and they all understand one another, to whatever society, near or remote, they belong. Language there is not learned but is instinctive with everyone, for it flows from their very affection and thought, the tones of their speech corresponding to their affections, and the vocal articulations which are words corresponding to the ideas of thought that spring from the affections; and because of this correspondence the speech itself is spiritual, for it is affection sounding and thought speaking...
245.
The speech of evil and infernal [hellish] spirits is likewise natural to them because it is from affections; but it is from evil affections and consequent filthy ideas, to which angels are utterly averse. Thus the modes of speaking in hell are opposite to those of heaven; and in consequence evil spirits cannot endure angelic speech, and angels cannot endure infernal speech. To the angels infernal speech is like a bad odor striking the nostrils. The speech of hypocrites, who are such as are able to feign themselves angels of light, resembles in respect to words the speech of angels, but in respect to affections and consequent ideas of thought it is the direct opposite. Consequently, when the inner nature of their speech is perceived as wise angels perceive it, it is heard as the gnashing of teeth, and strikes with horror.


1 Corinthians 8:5-6 Christ by whom are all things

  
   Mighty I AM Presence

For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. -1 Corinthians 8:5-6 Bible, King James Version 

 

For us all as individuals there is one God, the Father, or Mighty I AM Presence of whom are all things and one Christ, or Higher Mental Body, by whom are all things in the lower Planes including our physical bodies. Jesus became one with His Higher Mental Body making Him a Christ however it would not I believe be true to say that He as an individual was responsible for the creation of all things.

 

The Elohim of Purity teaches us: "The God-Head, the Infinite "Mighty I AM Presence" everywhere, is the Authority of Eternal Perfection." ('The Voice of the I AM' 1946 June p6)  

 

The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ

Transcribed From the Book of God’s Remembrances, Known as the Akashic Records

by Levi H. Dowling (1844-1911)

CHAPTER 68.


1The news soon spread abroad that Jesus, king of Israel, had come to Bethany, and all the people of the town came forth to greet the king.

2And Jesus, standing in the midst of them, exclaimed, Behold, indeed, the king has come, but Jesus is not king.

3The kingdom truly is at hand; but men can see it not with carnal eyes; they cannot see the king upon the throne.

4This is the kingdom of the soul; its throne is not an earthly throne; its king is not a man...

11Men call me Christ, and God has recognized the name; but Christ is not a man. The Christ is univer­sal love, and Love is king.

12This Jesus is but man who has been fitted by temptations over­come, by trials multiform, to be the temple through which Christ can manifest to men.

13Then hear, you men of Israel, hear! Look not upon the flesh; it is not king. Look to the Christ within, who shall be formed in every one of you, as he is formed in me.
14When you have purified your hearts by faith, the king will enter in, and you will see his face.
15And then the people asked, What must we do that we may make our bodies fit abiding places for the king?
16And Jesus said, Whatever tends to purity in thought, and word, and deed will cleanse the temple of the flesh.
 

CHAPTER 79.

 John explains to the multitude the mis­sion of Jesus.

7I have performed the work that I was sent to do; the work of Jesus just begins.
8Then turning to the multi­tudes he said, Christ is the king of righteousness; Christ is the love of God; yea, he is God; one of the holy persons of the Triune God.
9Christ lives in every heart of purity.
10Now, Jesus who is preaching at the Jordan ford, has been sub­jected to the hardest tests of human life, and he has conquered all the ap­petites and passions of the carnal man.
11And by the highest court of heaven, has been declared a man of such superior purity and holiness that he can demonstrate the pres­ence of the Christ on earth.
12Lo, love divine, which is the Christ, abides in him, and he is pat­tern for the race.
13And every man can see in him what every man will be when he has conquered all the passions of the selfish self.
14In water I have washed the bodies of the people who have turned from sin, symbolic of the cleansing of the soul;
15But Jesus bathes forever in the living waters of the Holy Breath.
16And Jesus comes to bring the savior of the world to men; Love is the savior of the world.
17And all who put their trust in Christ, and follow Jesus as a pat­tern and a guide, have everlasting life.
18But they who do not trust the Christ, and will not purify their hearts so that the Christ can dwell within, can never enter life.

CHAPTER 128.

16...Jesus told the twelve about the inner light that cannot fail;
17About the kingdom of the Christ within the soul...

CHAPTER 129.

6Where is your profit if you gain the world and lose your soul? What would you take in payment for your soul?
7If you would find the spirit life, the life of man in God, then you must walk a narrow way and enter through a narrow gate.
8The way is Christ, the gate is Christ, and you must come up by the way of Christ. No man comes unto God but by the Christ.

 

1 Corinthians 8:5 There are many gods

 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) -1 Corinthians 8:5 Bible, King James Version 

There is a spiritual Hierarchy of gods, lords or Masters associated with every Plane of existence. Jesus has his place in this Hierarchy just as every other Angel, Archangel, Ascended Master or Cosmic Being has.

1 Corinthians 6:3 We shall judge angels!

 


Know ye not that we shall judge angels?... -1 Corinthians 6:3 Bible, King James Version 

 

This suggests there is a spiritual hierarchy in which mankind can become Archangels, Gods and Masters.
