the Oracle

the Oracle is written to provide additional knowledge and wisdom which integrates with and supports the treatise Our Living Evolved Christ.   We hope you find our website helpful in connecting with God,  others,  and yourself throughout your own personal Life’s journey!          

As an internet based church the WWCEC establishes a new standard for theological study and thought.   This is a result of the use of our available scientific reasoning as the foundation of all truth and understanding.   As such,  the Paradigm Shift in Christian Theology separates the grain from the chaff and allows God’s truth to shine for us all.   WWCEC pastors know and understand God as defined in the treatise Our Living Evolved Christ and are prepared to assume the responsibilities of the church.   WWCEC pastors are ordained by the Love of God through Christ and are trained to lead by example.               

the WWCEC teaches not what you want to hear but instead teaches what you need to know!         Pastor Jeff

 

***The treatise Our Living Evolved Christ is a result of endless hours of reading,  study,  and reflective thought.   It is our hope that people continue to appreciate our efforts to enlighten or “awaken” the mind and spirit to the realities of living here on earth with a balanced spirit from our evolved spiritual nature,  essence,  and being.   Placed into context,  this material is written to honor and respect the evolution of Christ within our early ancestors and which is eternally born,  resurrected,  and reincarnated within all human beings.   We provide people with the nonfictional reasoned understanding of the Christian religion grounded in our one true faith and belief in God and in us and our evolved humanity.

***Religions are unfortunately institutionalized whereas our human spirit is not!   One purpose of the WWCEC is to provide the knowledge,  wisdom,  and truths of our evolved spiritual nature,  essence,  and being which are of and from God showing us all that our human spirit is indeed free!  

***Substance,  validity,  and truth are what the WWCEC provides through the Paradigm Shift in Christian Theology.   We connect,  stabilize,  and harmonize the over 40,000 Christian denominations all of which utilize a functional and interactive fictional based format.   We accomplish this through the use of our available scientific reasoning process and our gained knowledge,  wisdom,  and truths.   Every Christian denomination and indeed every religion and spiritual philosophy and practice will find peace and comfort in the universal knowledge and understanding we provide.   

***The most important things in Life come from the Love we share with family and friends.   Our extensive array of religious rituals are socially adapted spiritual art forms created and designed to showcase our human spirituality with an interactive fictional flare.   As such,  the simple Christian rituals of baptism and communion were designed to help provide people a “welcoming” feeling into our common and shared “family of God.” 

The WWCEC teaches that honoring and respecting the innate goodness and inherent worth and dignity incarnate within all people is what provides us with the opportunities to “welcome and share” the Love of God through our living evolved Christ Spirit.   Whether or not religious or spiritual rituals are practiced,  people need to understand that what’s important for all of us are the connections we form with each other creating our foundations of family and friends which are supportive,  empowering,  and enabling.

***Our ability to “know God” continues to increase exponentially ever since the advent of our scientific reasoning process.   This allows us to stay connected with reality by having a solid basis or platform of knowledge and understanding from reason.   “Listen to reason and use good judgement and common sense.   This will enlighten or ‘awaken’ the mind and spirit preparing us to find the knowledge,  wisdom,  and truths of the world around us and of the universe itself.”

***As spiritual art forms religions have historically provided us with opportunities to explore and discover our spiritual nature,  essence,  and being resulting from timeless human inspiration and creativity.   Our created images and the stories of life’s challenges and struggles to survive,  the joys and pleasures of living as well as our pain and suffering,  resurrections and reincarnations,  forgivenesses and reconciliations,  and our hopes and promises are all present within our religions and varied spiritual practices.

We are fortunate to have the opportunities to learn valued truths concerning our evolved human nature from the creative consciousness of our ancestors and we appreciate our ability to apply these truths within the context and framework of our available scientific reasoning.   As such,  expressing our spirituality with our music and the arts helps us to transcend the dimensions of both space and time by providing us with our pulse,  rhythm,  and harmony of life.   This connects us with ourselves,  each other,  and God thereby unifying our sacred with the secular.            Don’t only practice your art,  but force your way into its secrets,  for it and knowledge can raise men to the divine.”   …….Ludwig van Beethoven

***In our daily lives,  all Life including everyone we come into contact and interact with is a result of the evolutionary process of Life.   With our wisdom and reasoning ability we learn how to respect,  cooperate,  and “get along” with each other in our shared world.   By realizing our living evolved Christ Spirit within,  recognizing the same Christ Spirit in others,  and then assuming the responsibilities that follow we learn how to balance our instinctive and competitive animal-like nature with Christ creating the balanced and right spirit we need within our lives.   This provides us with our hope for using reason and good judgement in developing cooperative behavior and in maintaining civil social relationships that build the good will that benefits all concerned.

***Approximately 250 BCE the emperor Ashoka of the Maurya Dynasty in India sent Buddhist missionaries throughout Asia extending west to include regions where Christianity originated from.   It is certain that the historical Jesus of Nazareth and his friends came into contact with and studied eastern religious philosophies as young and well educated Galilean Jews.   Many parallels exist between the New Testament canonical gospels and the teachings and wisdom found in the older established spiritual practices of Hinduism,  Buddhism,  and Taoism.   These would include:     Karma —  meaning action,  work,  or deed while also referring to the spiritual principle of cause and effect as it relates to both mutually beneficial and altruistic behavioral patterns.       Samsara —  meaning the repeating cycle of birth,  life,  and death.   In other words our rebirth or “reincarnation.”       Yin and Yang —  meaning a balance of opposite or contrary forces and how they interact with each other representing the duality and order of being in our natural environment.       The result of studying the eastern religious philosophies and then applying their meanings within the context of the Hellenistic Judaism practiced during that period of time would have provided students with knowledge (gnosis),  reason (logos),  and wisdom (sophia) leading to the enlightenment or “awakening” of the mind and spirit consistent with the nurturing of salvation.

Since the evolution of our species as modern Homo sapiens,  there has always been another perfectly justifiable,  simple,  and appropriate option for understanding our human spirituality and the realities of our existence.   That being simply listening to our females and our mothers who intuitively “know” the unconditional Love of God and who continually pass forward to others and to our children timeless and saving knowledge,  wisdom,  and truths of living here on our beautiful and perfect home planet Earth!

***the ego created god vs. the God created ego —     One of the potential risks of developing and then relying solely on fictional based spiritual art forms (religions) and the creation of any anthropomorphic images of god(s) is that they may potentially result in misuse or abuse of those “created images of god(s).”   This unfortunate scenario usually is the result of people trying to use what we term an “ego created god” from what they “think” God is!   The polar opposite of the ego created god is the “God created ego” where the understanding and ability to actually “know God” comes from our available nonfictional scientific reasoning and the resulting gain of our knowledge,  wisdom,  and truths.   With a God created ego the ability exists to develop and manifest the saving spiritual balance from grace with our living evolved Christ through living and functioning with the seven steps of our eternal light of life.   This is a dedicated offensive position of Life which helps defend us against negative forces of evil.

***Games and athletic competition show us that our natural competitiveness is an important component of our evolved spiritual nature,  essence,  and being.   Determination,  focus,  and work ethics with our “drive” to compete and excel along with the necessary honor and respect for our competition are what create the winning feeling of success that satisfies.   It is very important to appreciate and to support our instinctive and competitive animal-like nature because it is the spiritual nature which we evolved first as Homo sapiens.   What is critical in understanding our evolved human spirit is the value of a spiritual balance (our yin and yang) we must have between our competitive animal-like nature and our living evolved Christ.   With a balanced spirit,  our body,  mind,  and spirit is unified and capable of being healthy and strong!

***The Paradigm Shift in Christian Theology gives warrant and merit to our Christian religion that is honest and consistent with the ideology of secular spirituality.   This provides us a truthful understanding of our evolved spiritual nature and being that is also consistent with God through time.

***We as human beings are genuinely happier and more satisfied with our lives when we are thankful for who we are and what we have and also for our opportunities to help one another unconditionally.  

***The stories from our historical spiritual and religious material were created and passed forward through oral traditions for a very long time before they were written down in text or scriptural form.   The stories we enjoy formed valued ideals that can still be applied in today’s world with an accurate focus on civil and social behavior that encourages people to be helpful and kind towards one another in a manner that is supportive,  empowering,  and enabling.

The Parables found in the New Testament are short fictitious stories that teach a moral or spiritual lesson.   The Parables are a result of a combination or “blend” of the eastern religious and spiritual philosophies and Hellenistic Judaism that provide readers with knowledge (gnosis),  reason (logos),  and wisdom (sophia) leading to the enlightenment or “awakening” of the mind and spirit consistent with the nurturing of salvation.   When Parables are read it is important to apply their meanings within our own lives.   Several common Parables include:

1.)     the Parable of the Mustard Seed which goes along with the Parable of the Leaven —     the meaning of both Parables is that in order to “know God” and live a full and healthy life with a balanced spirit we need a very simple beginning that comes only from the common core foundation of a thankful and humble heart!

2.)     the Parable of the Faithful Servant —    the meaning of which is for us to always “be prepared” in life with a spirit that is balanced with our living evolved Christ.   Only then will we be able to recognize the same Christ Spirit in others and be able to assume the responsibilities that follow for anything can happen at anytime to change or alter what we hold as precious and dear.   This teaches us the ethical values of obligation,  responsibility,  and accountability!

3.)     the Parables of the Lost Sheep (Good Shepherd),  the Lost Coin,  and the Prodigal Son —     these three well scripted stories represent a trilogy all about the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation through unconditional loving kindness and compassionate understanding that results in our redemption and salvation!

4.)     the Parable of the Strong Man —     the meaning of which is that our evolved goodness of God (or Christ) is always necessary in order to balance our raw,  instinctive,  animal-like nature characterized by competitive acts of self-preservation which had developed first in our evolutionary process.   When our spirit is in balance it is healthy and serene which prevents our individual self or ego from becoming self-centered and vain.   Reasoning,  Wisdom,  and Knowledge provide us with the goodness and truth necessary for us to survive over our instinctive animal-like nature.

5.)     the Parable of the Good Samaritan —     the meaning of which is to always treat others as you would like to have them treat you with unconditional loving kindness,  compassionate understanding,  dignity,  and respect (the Golden Rule).   Actions from Kindness always provide us with the hope for eternal life we all need!

6.)     the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus —     the meaning of which is that when people focus only on wealth and material things (worldly possessions),  the possessions end up owning us instead of us owning them.   Then it becomes way to easy to simply ignore our neighbors and therefore not treat them as our brothers and sisters in need,  and our brothers and sisters in need just happen to be our brothers and sisters in Christ and our eternal Life!

7.)     the Parable of the Sower is our last Parable listed but should be the first one to understand —     the meaning of which is that in order to “know God” and have everlasting life we must realize our living evolved Christ within,  recognize the same Christ Spirit in others,  and then assume the responsibilities that follow!   This is accomplished when we live and function with the seven steps of our eternal light of life.  

***Discipleship made easy!     Our ability to carry the inspired message from the Paradigm Shift in Christian Theology of the saving spiritual balance from grace with our living evolved Christ Spirit is called discipleship and it is easy for us to accomplish!   Since worship is defined and understood as the act of creating and shaping our thoughts,  words,  and actions out of respect and reverence we can worship as disciples of Christ anywhere and anytime we realize and manifest the goodness of God (or Christ) through our thoughts,  words,  and actions.   To do this we simply need to live and function with the seven steps of our eternal light of life which allows us to realize our living evolved Christ within,  to recognize the same Christ Spirit in others,  and then to assume the reponsibilities that follow.   This is when we are “Christian” and people do not neccessarily need to belong to any church to be Christian!   When we actually “assume the responsibilities that follow” is when we are true disciples of Christ and…….   it is when we treat all people in our shared world with unconditional loving kindness,  compassionate understanding,  dignity,  and respect…….   it is when we make sacrifices in order to serve others…….   it is when we offer forgiveness and reconciliation especially to those who may not be kind towards us…….   it is when we have and share thoughts or prayers of concern and hope for the well being of others…….   it is when we take actions to protect the civil and social rights of those who are abused or mistreated…….   it is when we learn to appreciate and then take better care of our home planet earth and all of its evolved life…….   it is when we both laugh and cry with those we love.

***Throughout our evolved Human History the atrocities that members of our species have committed upon each other are a direct result of people thinking,  speaking,  and acting without a balanced spirit!   Without balancing our raw,  instinctive,  animal-like nature with our living evolved Christ Spirit we stand the risk of losing what precious gifts we have in honoring and respecting each other as true brothers and sisters.   A balanced spirit (our yin & yang) provides us with the opportunities to act cooperatively and collectively for the benefit of all concerned giving us the purpose,  reason,  and hope to live together in peace and harmony.   We hope that mistreatment and abuse,  humiliation,  social injustices,  acts of hatred,  and human rights violations will come to an end and are instead replaced with respect,  thankfulness,  kindness,  and a reasoned understanding towards one another in a cooperative manner that is supportive of all people.

***Inconsistencies and untruths found in the New Testament from many of its authors (especially Paul the apostle) are a direct result of their failure to recognize and understand humanities gain of our knowledge and reasoning ability as part of our naturally occurring evolutionary process as modern Homo sapiens.   Instead,  many authors embraced our gain of knowledge as original sin or a fall from grace as outlined in Genesis which is the Great Deception!   The failure to understand Christ as naturally occurring,  organic,  and clear was further compounded by their inability to recognize our living Christ Spirit as eternally resurrecting and reincarnating within all of humanity ever since the evolution of Christ from grace within the people of Africa before the migration of Homo sapiens out of Africa.

The WWCEC eliminates the inconsistencies,  untruths,  and ignorance from the authors of the New Testament and of the Great Deception itself through the knowledge,  understanding,  wisdom,  and truths of the Paradigm Shift in Christian Theology providing us with reason to hold each other close with a thankful heart.

***We human beings can deal with Life by simply “being human.”   This means striving to live each day with the saving spiritual balance from grace of our living evolved Christ Spirit.   Always our work in progress,  we will realize Christ within by living and functioning with the seven steps of our eternal light of life.   This is our collective good karma and God’s true light of life incarnate within each and every human being.

An appropriate definition for sin is:     “a vitiated state of human nature in which the self is estranged from God.”   This can happen when we think,  speak,  and act without a balanced spirit!   Forgiveness reconciles our ego or self with our innate goodness of God resulting in our rebirth,  redemption,  and salvation.   Maintaining a balanced spirit with our living evolved Christ prevents our individual self or ego from becoming self-centered and vain.   This is our challenge as “human beings” and creates within each of us the responsibility,  obligation,  and authority to respect and honor the goodness of God (Christ) within each and every person.

***The purpose or role of pastors,  clergy,  or anyone working with or for any non-profit church or spiritual organization should be to provide people with the knowledge and wisdom of how to find spiritual balance within their own lives,  to teach or instruct mindfulness meditation,  and to provide support and console when adversity,  pain,  sorrow,  and death are present.

For everyone who routinely reads the treatise Our Living Evolved Christ please understand that the knowledge and wisdom presented is for you!   Our mission and ministry is to provide everyone with the ability to help create and maintain a balanced spirit with Christ.   We hope that you can make this happen in your own lives and are therefore able to enjoy some measure of peace and happiness each and every day!

***To “know” our infallible & inerrant word of God as spiritually revealed and manifest within us then simply:

— be thankful & humble,  compassionate & understanding,  helpful,  forgiving,  and kind in all thoughts,  words,  and actions.

— behave honestly,  courageously,  and peacefully with honor and respect for all beings.

— try to strengthen the fainthearted and those weak in spirit.

— always look into every child’s eyes with Love and then Smile!

— hold onto what is good and return to no one evil for evil.

— take and hold the hand of someone you love as well as the hands of those who need comfort and support.

— teach people to know pure joy and happiness from maintaining a balanced spirit by realizing our living evolved Christ within.

— study and learn to appreciate current knowledge about our shared world and what we can do to help improve the lives of others and to also better care for our home planet earth.

— place your mind within your heart and then go out into the world in peace!

***Christmas & Easter       Both Christmas and Easter celebrations help us to connect with each other and to the hope,  peace,  and promise of everlasting life because of the evolutionary process of Life from grace and the love of God through Christ.

The dates used for both Christmas and Easter are based upon pagan lunisolar calendars and the associated rituals and celebrations honoring and showing appreciation for the “sun” of God.   (the word “pagan” used in this context refers to people who were simple country dwellers and rural farmers directly connected to the land who observed and understood the value of the sun and the seasons for the growing and harvesting of their crops)

Christmas is always observed on December 25th which is just about three days after the winter solstice (dec. 21-23) in the Northern Hemisphere.   (the word “solstice” is from latin meaning “to stand still” because at the winter solstice the sun actually “stands still” in declination)     On December 25th (Christmas Day) the sun actually begins to rise and is “born again” for the people living in the Northern Hemisphere.   The resulting pagan Christmas celebrations that were held during the holiday season were observed as preparations for the “advent” of the “birth” of the new light of the “sun” of God.

The theological significance of Christmas for Christians is simply to symbolize the evolution or “birth” of our living Christ Spirit incarnate within all human beings which immediately provided our species with the saving spiritual balance from grace that we live with today!   That is why we celebrate the Christmas holidays with the “advent for the good news” of Christ within us! 

The date for Easter Sunday varies in accordance with our lunisolar calendar.   Easter Sunday is always celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox (about March 20th).   The historical significance for determining the date for Easter just after the spring equinox is simply to represent the “rise of the sun” where daylight hours become more prominent than darkness in the Northern Hemisphere.   This signifies a return or “resurrection” of the eternal light of life or “sun of God” in anticipation for a new growing season to come.

Easter for our WWCEC as understood and taught through the Paradigm Shift in Christian Theology is a time to celebrate the perpetual resurrection and reincarnation after death of our living evolved Christ Spirit innate and incarnate within every human being.

***We love to hear people say that a balanced spirit is our “key” for a healthy soul and we believe that it is!!   The WWCEC understands how important having a balanced spirit is for our health and we get excited when people from around the world also express and share this same thought.   We are grateful for the opportunity to be able to help people learn how to apply this knowledge for themselves.   It is also heartwarming for us to observe our youth respond to the WWCEC in a positive and uplifting manner consistent with God through time.   We find that young people high school age and older readily accept and embrace the Paradigm Shift in Christian Theology as truth and are eager to apply what they learn from the treatise Our Living Evolved Christ in their own personal lives.   This helps prepare them for living in today’s world with hearts and minds that can integrate the wisdom and truths from our historical spiritual and religious material with the current knowledge,  information,  and understanding from our available scientific reasoning process.

***The word “namaste” is used in Hindu custom as a respectful form of greeting.   It may be used for both salutation and valediction.   Namaste literally means “I bow to the divine in you!”   At the end of every yoga class,  instructors and the entire class speak namaste together.   WWCEC pastors routinely say namaste to the administrators of communion at every Christian church we attend whenever it is served as our way of recognizing and honoring the Divine Principle or goodness of God or “Christ” in others.

Christ is peaceful and shows unconditional loving kindness!

Christ is compassionate and understanding!

Christ creates for us the opportunities to make sacrifices in order to serve others! 

Christ is forgiving and reconciling!

Christ is thankful and humble!

Christ is timeless and makes life honorable,  dignified,  free,  and worth living for!

Christ is always within you and me!
