What is your interpretation of this line from the Gospels?: "12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father."

My John MacArthur study bible notes that 'greater' means greater in extent not in power. And Here Jesus is telling His disciples what they must Be doing with the Gift of the Holy Spirit in spreading the gospel. It has relevance for Us also however because the Gospel is still to be ministered to this day, the cutoff point of such work is by no means obvious. Jesus is saying 'because I go unto my Father,' which implies that the work falls on Our shoulders in at least a significant measure. Though these verse come right after Jesus also proclaims that He is preparing a way and a place in the Mansions of Heaven. So Here Jesus is saying [in paraphrase] 'I'm going away, the Holy Spirit will come upon You, and You have work to do.' A humbling prospect that God's work becomes greater in extent by the hands of Men. While not wresting any sovereignty from God Jesus Himself. Thanks for asking Tommy, what are Your Thoughts? given that You asked the Question; best--Greg W.

A large-scale movement will require money. The opposition has near limitless capital and vast surgical prying eyes.

With the CTMU offering ability to interpret most religions in the same universal model, does that then qualify as a meta-religion with the same constitutional protections of a traditional religion? A church seems like a way to protect oneself from cooperate-government-elite interference (think taxation). Church and state are separate, but a church can own land in a state, I don’t think the entity that is ‘state’ can see into a church. I note that it does seem impossible to fully bifurcate the two in absolute reality. When I ask myself how we’ll get to a mass awakening from here, I envision a CTMU based community with religious protection occupying large swathes of land. It will have been a growing revolution which began under the radar until too strong to deny.

Yes, this would be more mathematical-logical truth based than blind faith, but the common public thinks absolute truth is the delusion of all religions anyway. therefore, to the physicalist, a CTMU theological community would only appear as random background noise. That is, religion has the upper hand over the corporatization of humanity in that it can operate furtively within the cooperate-government-elite complex. Think of a “Who is John Gault?”-like scenario – a parasitic starvation over time – a cascading erosion of bounds.

I’m not a person with enough available time (wife, baby, house, intellectually demanding job, etc.) to appeal to the masses. I don’t make videos, but I would like my identity to occupy such a space with other trustworthy learned compatriots.

We’re developing a simple digital form for new admittance into the compatriots. When We have this form ready I can pass it along to You so that You can become a member of the CTMU Compatriots - We’d be glad to have You on board. And no worries if You can’t produce the same content, life experience is a valuable asset as well. Cheers,
