Questions for Discernment
When you encounter traditional and contemporary "Anti-Christos Countermovements" that are routinely and inevitably set against the Christos Founder's Emerald Covenant Inner Christos Teachings (Freedom Teachings), you first want to "Consider the Source" and its Intrinsic Motivation, before forming a final opinion.
(See: Fallen Angelics, False New Age Movement, OWO)
A few valuable questions to ask are these:
1) "Who does this information source appear to be?"
2) "What are they telling me?"
3) "Do they really know what they are talking about?"
4) "Are they saying what they REALLY mean?"
5) "Where might their information be coming from?"
6) "What motive might they have for telling me this thing?"
7) "What are they hoping that I believe?"
8) "Why would they want me to believe this thing?"
9) "What are they trying to motivate me to do with my personal power; discover and embrace it within myself, or surrender it elsewhere in worship or obedient subservience?"
10) "If they are trying to help me, what are they trying to help me to achieve and how could believing this thing empower me?"
11) "If they are covertly trying to mislead me, how might I be harmed in believing them?"
12) "Are they inspiring me to lead through my own inner spiritual power and wisdom, or are they seducing me to believe that I am personally powerless and so must blindly follow an external power source to save me?"
13) "If I believe this thing, will it assist me in becoming more awakened, aware, loving, kind, responsible, strong, spiritually alive, intelligent, wise, compassionate, WHOLE and effective human being?"
The Art of Asking the Right Questions in all circumstances is an invaluable tool for advancing understanding, self and other awareness, and personal empowerment.
The Founders' encourage you to ask these questions in relation to their teachings (Freedom Teachings) and when presented with the teachings, ideas and opinions of others....
