Romans 2:11-13 The doers of the law shall be justified

¹¹ For there is no respect of persons with God. ¹² For... as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; ¹³ (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. -Romans 2:11-13 Bible, King James Version 

Last Judgment Posthumous, by Emanuel Swedenborg, [1762], tr. by John Whitehead [1914], at sacred-texts.com

195.

[197] Those who are in faith alone believe in instantaneous salvation and pure mercy; and therefore they implore mercy alone and believe that they are instantly saved the moment they receive faith, even though it be in the last hour of death. They also believe that the remission of all sins consists in the wiping away of all evils. They have no comprehension of remission by means of repentance of life, but only of remission by means of faith arising from thinking such things as they call of their faith; thus they are ignorant of all the means of salvation. It was shown them that such things are a phantasy; and this phantasy was represented as being interiorly full of poisonous serpents...

196.

[198] When they think from their doctrine about faith alone, and are opposed by the statement, in The Epistle of James, that men should show their faith by works, there appears as it were a knife flying forth to slay those who perceive this to be the case. And from one side comes forth an idea of Luther, and from the other, whither the knife flies, an idea of James, although Luther and James themselves are not there. The reason is, because, Luther excluded the Epistle of James... [Martin Luther (1483-1546) was a German monk, former Catholic priest, professor of theology and seminal figure of a reform movement in 16th century Christianity, subsequently known as the Protestant Reformation. Luther taught that salvation and subsequently eternity in heaven is not earned by good deeds but is received only as a free gift of God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ as redeemer from sin and subsequently eternity in Hell.]

199.

[201] It was made known by living experience that those who have been in faith alone and have led a moral life, had made heavens for themselves, where they seemed to themselves to have been in light; but it was shown that it is a wintry light, for when angels looked thither, in place of light there appeared a thick darkness. Those who go there, and are at the same time in charity, feel a pain in the breast, the stomach and the knees.

Romans 2:11-12 Impossible to be saved in ignorance

¹¹ For there is no respect of persons with God. ¹² For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law... -Romans 2:11-12 Bible, King James Version 

The Doctrine and Covenants 

Section 131:6

Instructions by Joseph Smith the Prophet, given at Ramus, Illinois, May 16 and 17, 1843.

6 It is impossible for a man to be saved in ignorance.

As is taught by the Mormon Church, it is impossible for a man to be saved in ignorance. They try to get around this by practicing proxy marriages and baptisms for the dead but this will not be enough to gain the Ascension. This means that these spirits will have to re-embody in order to receive the Teachings of the Ascended Masters so they can attain the Ascension in that future embodiment.

Pistis Sophia translated by G. S. R. Mead

CHAPTER 102

JESUS continued again in the discourse and said unto his disciples: "When I shall have gone into the Light, then herald it unto the whole world and say unto them: Cease not to seek day and night and remit not yourselves until ye find the mysteries of the Light-kingdom, which will purify you and make you into refined light and lead you into the Light-kingdom... |258. "Say unto them: Renounce the doctrines of error, that ye may be worthy of the mysteries of the Light...

CHAPTER 103

|263. "But amēn, amēn, I say unto you: Even if a righteous man hath committed no sins at all, he cannot possibly be brought into the Light-kingdom, because the sign of the kingdom of the mysteries is not with him. In a word, it is impossible to bring souls into the Light without the mysteries of the Light-kingdom."

CHAPTER 111

When then the disciples had said this, the Saviour continued again and said unto his disciples: "If ye go into cities or kingdoms or countries, proclaim first unto them, saying: Search ever and cease not, until ye find the mysteries of the Light which will lead you into the Light-kingdom. Say unto them: Beware of the doctrines of error. For many will come in my name... and they will lead many astray. Now, therefore, unto all men who come unto you and have faith in you and hearken unto your words and do what is worthy of the mysteries of the Light, give the mysteries of the Light and hide them not from them. And unto him who is worthy of the higher mysteries, give them, and to him who is worthy of the lower mysteries, give them, and hide not anything from any one...

CHAPTER 125

Mary continued again and said unto the Saviour: "My Lord, if the faith and the mysteries shall have revealed themselves, -now, therefore, if souls come into the world in many circuits [or changes of the body] and are neglectful of receiving mysteries, hoping that, if they come into the world at any other circuit, they will receive them, will they not then be in danger |317. of not succeeding in receiving the mysteries?"

The Saviour answered and said unto his disciples: "Herald unto the whole world and say unto men: Strive thereafter that ye may receive the mysteries of the Light in this time... and enter into the Light-kingdom. Join not one day to another, or one circuit to another, hoping that ye may succeed in receiving the mysteries if ye come into the world in another circuit...

|318... "At that time then the faith will reveal itself still more and the mysteries in those days. And many souls will come by means of the circuits of the changes of the body... coming back into the world...

CHAPTER 133

The Saviour answered and said unto Mary: "Amēn, I say unto you: All which is appointed unto every one... whether all good or all sins... cometh unto them. For this cause, therefore, have I brought |351. the keys of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven; otherwise no flesh in the world would be saved. For without mysteries no one will enter into the Light-kingdom, be he a righteous or a sinner... |352... "For this cause, therefore, I have not hidden it, but I have cried it aloud clearly. And I have not separated the sinners, but I have cried it aloud and said it unto all men, unto sinners and righteous, saying: 'Seek that ye may find, knock that it may be opened unto you; for every one who seeketh in truth, will find, and who knocketh, to him it will be opened.' For I have said unto all men: They are to seek the mysteries of the Light-kingdom which shall purify them and make them refined and lead them into the Light. For this cause, therefore, hath John the Baptizer prophesied concerning me, saying: 'I indeed have baptized you with water unto repentance for forgiveness of your sins. He who cometh after me, is stronger than me. Whose fan is in his hand, and he will purify his floor. The chaff indeed he will consume with unquenchable fire, but the wheat he will gather into his barn.' The power in John hath prophesied concerning me, knowing that I would bring the mysteries into the world and purify the sins of the sinners who shall have faith in me and hearken unto me, and make them into refined light and lead them into the Light."


Mighty Victory teaches us: "...the masses of mankind, until they are taught this Law, do not have permanent Victory! ...Like a pendulum they swing and swing and swing, and never stabilize anywhere; because they cannot, until they know That Glorious Word "I AM"; understand where the "Mighty I AM Presence" is; what It is and what It can do for them. Only then can they see, know and accept the Reality of the Mighty Ascended Masters; the Great Cosmic Beings... Until they know the "Beloved Mighty I AM Presence" and Its Cosmic Law, they are not stabilized within Permanent Happiness nor Perfection." ('The Voice of the I AM' 1951 June p28-29)

Romans 2:11 No respect of persons with God

¹¹ For there is no respect of persons with God. -Romans 2:11 Bible, King James Version

We are all judged by God according to our spirituality not according to our status in life. 

Romans 2:5-6 The Righteous Judgment of God

⁵...the righteous judgment of God; ⁶ Who will render to every man according to his deeds: -Romans 2:5-6 Bible, King James Version 

Most Christians believe they will face Judgement when they pass over to the Spirit World. What they may not realize is that we are all right now facing the Karma of our past deeds in this life as well as our past lives. When we pass over to the Spirit World it is more about instant karma depending on our state of consciousness at that moment in time which will be reflected in the world around us like a spiritual mirror rather than what we may have done in the past on the earth.

Beloved Jesus teaches us: "Because it is the close of a Cycle, each Life Stream is tried... and ...tested to know how strong the Light is, and how much substance and energy is still qualified with the human accumulation. Now when that testing time comes, beloved ones, no one can help you, not even We! When the hour strikes for you to stand before the Great Lord the Maha Chohan, before the Mighty Cosmos or before the Mighty Divine Director, and have Their Great Magnificent Observation of Life poured upon your Life Stream, you cannot hide anything... You must at a certain point on the Path, come under This Observation." ('The Voice of the I AM' 1946 May p10)

"The outer self of every Life Stream must face the judgement of the Higher Mental Body and the Ascended Host; and that determines where the embodiments will be in the future, or whether the Ascension is possible now!" -The Beloved Messenger ('The Voice of the I AM' 1946 February p18)

 

Heaven and its Wonders and Hell
From Things Heard and Seen

by Emanuel Swedenborg

Chapter 52

The Second State of Man After Death.

509. When evil spirits are in this second state, as they rush into evils of every kind they are subjected to frequent and grievous punishments. In the world of spirits there are many kinds of punishment; and there is no regard for person, whether one had been in the world a king or a servant. Every evil carries its punishment with it, the two making one; therefore whoever is in evil is also in the punishment of evil. And yet no one in the other world suffers punishment on account of the evils that he had done in this world, but only on account of the evils that he then does; although it amounts to the same and is the same thing whether it be said that men suffer punishment on account of their evils in the world or that they suffer punishment on account of the evils they do in the other life, since every one after death returns into his own life and thus into like evils; and the man continues the same as he had been in the life of the body. Men are punished for the reason that the fear of punishment is the sole means of subduing evils in this state. Exhortation is no longer of any avail, neither is instruction or fear of the law and of the loss of reputation, since every one then acts from his nature; and that nature can be restrained and broken only by punishments. But good spirits, although they had done evils in the world, are never punished, because their evils do not return. Moreover, I have learned that the evils they did were of a different kind or nature, not being done purposely in opposition to the truth, or from any other badness of heart than that which they received by inheritance from their parents... 

Romans 1:26-27 Gay and lesbian behaviour

²⁶ For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: ²⁷ And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. -Romans 1:26-27 Bible, King James Version 

The Ascended Master Saint Germain teaches: "Excess sex gratification... wastes your energy. If you insist on doing it then you cannot have the energy that brings your Freedom... The Law of Life is that the sex is to be used only for pro-creation of your kind."
 

The Ascended Master Ray-O-Light teaches us: "Your Great Ascended Master Jesus said to you, the last enemy to be overcome was so-called death. Well what do you think is the last activity which that enemy uses to hold its domination and what is the motive back of that? Misuse of the sex activity. That is how death has held its dominion upon the face of the earth."

Beloved Sanat Kumara, known in Theosophy as the Lord of the World or the King of the spiritual Hierarchy, teaches us: "Sex... was never intended for anything but the propagating of the human form... The sinister force has tried to use every possible excuse to make individuals believe, they could use it for pleasure, and still go on to Perfection."

The Ascended Master known as the Great Divine Director teaches on the subject: "You have been told repeatedly, that unless you cease your sex desire, you cannot gain Freedom and Ascension!"

One of the Seven Mighty Elohim, Beloved Mighty Hercules, warns us: "Dear people, as you value your future existence, stand guard over any slightest sex desire in the world. Annihilate it instantly because I tell you frankly, that sinister thing has become so diabolical that you must absolutely stand on guard in every way."

Within our bodies are seven main chakras with the Crown Chakra at the top of the head being the highest chakra and the base chakra at the bottom of the spine being the lowest chakra. Basically THE HIGHER CHAKRAS, FROM THE HEART UP TO THE CROWN, DRAW US UP INTO HEAVEN WHILE THE LOWER CHAKRAS FROM THE SOLAR-PLEXUS DOWN DRAW US DOWN TO THE EARTH. Everyone's lives are an outflow of Energy or Life Force from God via our Crown Chakra. Most of mankind have their life force flowing out through their lower chakras especially the Solar-plexus Emotional centre and their Sexual centre therefore they are repeatedly pulled back to earth on the Wheel of Birth and Death. If we would like to live in the Heavenly State of Consciousness permanently and not just temporarily at the end of each embodiment then we must learn to live our lives with only the Higher Chakras open thus becoming an expression of Unconditional Divine Love flowing thru the Higher Chakras. The chakras act as Secret Doorways to the Higher and lower Planes. The lower chakras are doorways to the lower Planes of human consciousness while the Higher Chakras are Doorways to the Higher Planes of Divine Consciousness. For example, the Solar-plexus chakra is the doorway to the Emotional or Astral Plane where hell is located. These chakras are not necessarily in logical order but are more like planets and suns revolving around a central sun (the Heart Chakra) and a great central sun (the Crown Chakra.) I believe the Throat Chakra is the Secret Doorway to the first True Heaven known as the Higher Mental Plane, the Heart Chakra is the Secret Doorway to the second Higher Heaven or Soul Plane and the Crown Chakra is the Secret Doorway to the the Highest third Celestial Heaven which leads to an infinite number of even higher Heavens in the Octaves of Light.

Romans 1:25 Is the Name of God hidden in the Word, Amen?

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. -Romans 1:25 Bible, King James Version

I believe the Sacred Name of God is hidden in the Word "AMen." The Name of God is "I AM" or "AM." I also believe It is hidden in the Eastern Creative Word "AUM." This is several Mantras in one which can be used as the individual Sounds A-U-M or combine the first and second letters with the Sound "M" giving us the Name of God "AM" or in other words "I AM.

Exodus 3: Moses and the Burning Bush 

Moses and burning bu | Bible Art

  

When Jesus was challenged concerning His Divine Nature He responded by saying: "Before Abraham was, I AM." 

In the Old Testament God reveals His Name to Moses: "Now Moses… came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush… and the bush was not consumed. God called unto him out of the midst of the bush. …And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. …And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel… this is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations." (Bible, Exodus 3:1-2,4,13-15)

Regarding this Old Testament scripture, the Ascended Master Jesus teaches us: "Never lose sight of that “Mighty I AM Presence” and never allow anything we ever contact in the outer world or any activity to make us forget the use of that Name- “Mighty I AM Presence.” You see mankind forgot the use of that Name, and that was the reason the darkness and discord came in because when centuries ago the Voice of God spoke to Moses and said: “Say ‘I AM’ hath sent thee, for that is My Name- a Memorial to all generations,” it meant these Words were a Reminder of God to all Life. So if we do not keep that Reminder in the intellect by speaking the Words, then you will find the feeling of closeness and the awareness of the Full Powers of that “I AM Presence,” will recede more, and more, because mankind forget to use that Name." (The Voice of the I AM 1946 February p30) 

This is probably the Greatest Secret Key hidden in the Bible. 

There is great Divine Power in the Holy Name of God, “I AM.” The Mighty Ascended Master, the Great Divine Director, who is Authority over all Life Streams on this earth until they have Ascended, teaches: "The Great Creative Word “I AM” [is] the Most Powerful Word in the Universe." (The Voice of the I AM 1944 September p11) 

As Jesus demonstrated, through the use of I AM Decrees, the Holy Name of God “I AM” can be placed at the beginning of a constructive affirmation to accomplish our goals in life and in the afterlife. For example, perhaps the most powerful I AM Decree Jesus used was, "I AM the Resurrection and the Life." (Bible, John 11:25) When we return to our Father in Heaven and stand before Him it is said we will exclaim: I am That, I AM.  In other words, as we stand before our Higher Self, or Mighty I AM Presence, we will realize that this Individualization of God is in fact our own Higher Self the Mighty I AM Presence of God. Jesus of course knew this, which is evident when He said to the Jews: "Before Abraham was, I AM" (Bible, John 8:58) meaning in fact that before Abraham was born Jesus and all of us existed as an I AM Presence. The reason this Grand Master Key was not taught openly by Jesus was that the people weren’t ready for it or especially another Grand Master Key which must be taught with it. 

           The Ascended Master Saint Germain

This Sacred Fire Key was not permitted to be revealed until the 1930s by one of Beloved Jesus’ fellow Ascended Masters Saint Germain. This Secret Key involves using the Violet Consuming Flame, by visualizing or decreeing it, to cleanse ourselves of all our past mistakes or negative karma which we have accumulated over many lifetimes on this earth. Because Saint Germain represents Freedom to this earth for the next ten thousand years Beloved Jesus declares: "I say to the orthodox world… those who cannot accept Saint Germain and the Ascended Masters, will not have My Radiation. …In former ages, it was not possible to bring forth the clearness of this understanding which Saint Germain has brought forth today! The Law of the Cosmic Light did not permit it! I brought forth to the world more of the “I AM,” than any individual up to the time, when Saint Germain brought this Instruction forth." (The Voice of the I AM 1943 December p7-8) 

Saint Paul talks about a man he knew who was caught up to the third heaven and paradise where he heard unspeakable words which it is not lawful for man to utter: 2. I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. 3. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) 4. How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. (Bible, 2 Corinthians 12:2-4) Just as this man was not permitted to reveal certain mysteries from heaven, so too was the Master Jesus not permitted, by Cosmic Law, to reveal certain mysteries. It is only after nearly two thousand years that the Cosmic Law has permitted the Ascended Master Saint Germain to reveal more of these mysteries. In this day and age the Ascended Master Jesus also teaches us: "Remember! and I say this to the whole world: All of you who have loved Me, remember Saint Germain has brought forth the continuation of that which I started two thousand years ago." (The Voice of the I AM 1941 December p8) Even the Saints of the churches, many of which have made the Ascension, had the understanding of the I AM privately or secretly and they had to know the Ascended Beings in order to reach the Ascension and become a Sainted Being. That is an Inner Law which none can break.

 

Romans 1:25 Who changed Truth of God into a lie?

                            The Holy Bible | Bible Art

²⁵ Who changed the truth of God into a lie... -Romans 1:25 Bible, King James Version

According to the Ascended Masters the Bible contains about 30% of the Truth. Depending on the particular Religion they belong to some Christians have more of the Truth than others.

The Beloved Mighty Cyclopia teaches regarding the Truth: "You see many people in some of the Religious channels of the World, have a Fragment of the Truth; but they do not understand the Cosmic Law enough, to show mankind the Application necessary, to set That Truth into Service for themselves and for the World. So, We have to come again, and again, and again." ('The Voice of the I AM' August 1948 p12)

Beloved Mighty Helios teaches us: "I trust I may elucidate one of those Magnificent Statements of the Mighty Master Jesus... When He said: "Know the Truth and the Truth shall set you Free," that Statement contains tremendous Wisdom, and few know what It means. Every little fragment of Truth which individuals have contemplated, they have imagined He meant by that Statement; but until they know This Truth concerning the Master Authority of the Fire Element thruout all Creation- they do not have the Way and Means of dissolving that which keeps them bound... The Sacred Fire from the Higher Mental Body! There is no Freedom to Life other than thru That Sacred Fire!... The Only Way provided by Life for the consuming of human mistakes and the frightful torture they have created in this World, is by the Use of the Cosmic Fire... UNTIL MANKIND KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THE SACRED FIRE THEY CAN NEVER BE FREE. Individuals in your churches and philosophers all thru the centuries, have referred occasionally to the Sacred Fire, but the masses of the people know not what is meant. Your Beloved Saint Germain brought you the detailed Explanation and Use of the Violet Consuming Flame which is One Ray, or One Flame, that I direct from My Thousand Petal Lotus, which appears to you as the Physical Sun! That is the only Way and Means which the Cosmic Law of the whole Universe, provides to This System of Worlds, to change outer manifestations that are less than Perfection into Perfection, and then ever expand that Perfection." ('The Voice of the I AM' 1949 January p9-11)

Pistis Sophia translated by G. S. R. Mead

CHAPTER 97

"...And Mary answered again and said unto the Saviour: "My Lord, bear with me, if I question thee, and be not wroth with me. Now, therefore, my Lord, unless we live and know the gnosis [esoteric knowledge of spiritual truth held by the ancient Gnostics to be essential to salvation] of the whole word of the Ineffable, [Indescribable] shall we not be able to inherit the Light-kingdom?"

And the Saviour answered |233. and said unto Mary: "Surely; for every one who shall receive a mystery of the Light-kingdom, will go and inherit up to the region up to which he hath received mysteries... unless he knoweth the one and only word of the Ineffable... But all the men who shall receive mysteries in the Light, -every one will go and inherit up to the region up to which he hath received mysteries. On this account I have said unto you aforetime: 'He who hath faith in a prophet, will receive a prophet's reward, and he who hath faith in a righteous [man] will receive a righteous [man's] reward,' -that is: Every one will go to the region up to which he hath received mysteries. He who receiveth a lesser mystery, will inherit the lesser mystery, and he who receiveth a higher mystery, will inherit the higher regions. And every one will abide in his region in the light of my kingdom, and every one will have power over the orders which are below him, but he will not have the power to go to the orders which are above him; but he will abide in the region of the Inheritance of the Light |234. of my kingdom, being in a great light immeasurable for the gods and all the invisibles, and he will be in great joy and great jubilation."

In Jesus' day the Jewish people and their leaders in their spiritual ignorance rejected the Teachings of the Master Jesus. In this day and age the Religious leaders and their followers make the same mistake in this embodiment when they out of their spiritual ignorance reject the Teachings of the Ascended Masters including the Master Jesus and Saint Germain. Jesus points out to all mankind on this earth: "I say to all people of America and the Earth: You who have said you love Me so greatly, must remember that you cannot have Me without Saint Germain and all the other Ascended Masters. They are One in Their Great Eternal Perfection. They have gained Their Victory, as you are now endeavouring to do... Remember! and I say this to the whole world: All of you who have loved Me, remember Saint Germain has brought forth the continuation of that which I started two thousand years ago." ('The Voice of the I AM' 1941 December p6,8) One of the Seven Mighty Elohim in God's Cosmic Hierarchy serving our system of worlds, Mighty Hercules teaches us: "Your Beloved Ascended Master, Jesus,... His so-called representatives- were He to come forth- would be the first ones to deny Him." ('The Voice of the I AM' 1941 May p21)
