    CHURCH OF THE CHOSEN
    1. Good is perpetual life, while evil is eternal death and if God had not created the realm of sin, any harm we did to life would cause our immediate and eternal death. And so long as we have physical life, the realm of sin, repentance and mercy is our salvation.
    2. There is no such thing as hell and God does not enslave us to do good by a fear of death. Quite the reverse, for by doing only the good that enhances and preserves life, can we be safe from death and life be kept safe from extinction. For global warming is a real and apparent danger.
    3. As everyone in heaven has always desired to do good, as 95% of humans have always desired to do evil, we must conclude that God alone shall decide who may be saved. For if sinners have the freedom to choose to be good, then they must also have the freedom to choose to be evil and heaven would forever by a mixture of good and evil.
    4. When God has proven to the satisfaction of all the heavenly realms, that never again shall another Satan use an intelligence dictatorship to destroy peace and harmony in heaven, then will come an earth made new for the chosen.
    5. As sin was designed to happen, God never held our sins against us and Christ crucified was not to wash away our sins, but to wash away the guilt and vengeance ingrained in our minds. For our guilt produces vengeance, which then causes more harm, guilt and vengeance, and a state of war then pursues. And this is why Christ had no choice but to be suffocated to death on the cross.
    6. Every member shall labor in harmony with the moral fabric of society. For God created everyone with a different level of intelligence, so that compassion, pity and charity could flow down to a lower class, so that a grateful submission could flow back up and that a humility of mind, character and personality may be achieved by all.
    7. No church member shall own more wealth then needed for a comfortable life. For since the beginning of civilization, the more intelligent upper-half of planet earth has hoarded all the land, wealth, political power and healthcare.
    8. No member shall enrich themselves upon the misery of those who have less education, less wealth or less whiteness of skin. For planet earth is a bigot’s paradise and an intelligence dictatorship.
    9. No member shall work for law enforcement, the military or use any kind of force to overcome evil.
    10. "You have read that it was commanded by Moses, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.'
    I now say to you: Do not use force to overcome evil. Instead, whenever you are struck on the right cheek you must turn to them also the other. And one prosecuting you in court, in order the cloak of yours to take, give him also your coat.” Matthew 5:38
    11. "Do not take the life of any human or unborn baby,
    or in anyway contribute to their death." 6th Commandment
    12. No one shall hold any position of authority in the church
    if they have more then a high school education.

    im sorry but calvinism is not a correct interpretation of the bible

      Entire purpose of planet earth is to establish that God is right in not allowing us to jump from good to evil and back again. Get a life.
      BIBLE FAITH --- IMPOSSIBLE
      Impossible to give up all wealth, and “receive many times as much in this age.”
      Impossible to turn the other cheek, and bear the sword to kill for government.
      Impossible for Christ and John the Baptist to die without faith. That is absolute.
      Impossible for John the Baptist to be the greatest, and also the least.
      Impossible to have a wife, and not have a wife.

      sorry sir but nothing you said has anything to do with calvinism not being anything less than twisted scripture .

      If God wants everyone saved, then why were 95% of humans not saved?
      People want the freedom to jump from evil to good.
      Which means that they also want the freedom to jump from good to evil.
      Surely, such people do not belong in the earth made new.

      first God wants everyone saved , but we have a choice to make on the matter and God does not make anyone believe, and to say that people want freedom to jump from one to the other has no merit on if one is saved or not. even saved people make wrong choices and do bad things , it what they do after that makes them in the right or stay in the wrong .

      A born again mind never desires to do evil. We get tricked into doing harm and temporarily overpowered by temptation, but there is an absolute difference between those who desire good and those who desire evil.
      Now the people who desire good, they have no desire to have the freedom to also do evil. But quite the reverse is it for those who desire to do evil. For to a sinner, they all think that they should have the freedom at their pleasure to choose to do good, so long as it the best way to maximize pleasure.
      Your idea of moral reality must agree with physical facts. For the physical bodies of Satan and a full third of the angels were turned into spirits and cast down to dearth, 95% of all humans have always loved doing physical evil and now global warming has come upon us. And yet, all that you mainline Christians can think about is how best to save the maximum number of sinners, when what you really should be focusing on is, how best to save those who are good from all those who do evil.
      For good is perpetual life, evil is eternal death and to protect us from death, that is why God created the Realm of Evil, Repentance and Mercy.
      For the moment we do harm, the Holy Spirit vacates our body and our spirit is dead. And so, read my two comments below and see what you think.
