The outcry of Dr. Rüdiger Hauth that “Mormonism
is a distinct syncretic American New Religion”
thus not stand on solid ground.
Thus
it is an allegation, without any evidence.
In
our Dictionary the Word “ Syncretism” means a mixture of
different Religious Ideologies to produce something new.
"Mormonism" is a special thing. Their roots are not in the catholic world.
See this scheme given by catholic historians:
Mormons are part of Christianity, (outside right) but not connected with the roman church:
It
would be interesting to hear Dr. Hauth explain from whence and how
the believes of the Latter Day Saints have been filtered from the now
more then 600 different Christian Ideologies.
I
feel pressed to ask: How long with today’s standing of knowledge
can such a statement exist?
How
long will the world insist that the wonderful and complex Carpet of
the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ has been assembled of the stolen
bits and pieces of the teachings of other Churches?
Origen,
Heretic or true Disciple of Jesus Christ?
In
the years 185 to 245 there lived a man by the name of Origen, who by
his labours and knowledge in regards to the teachings of Christ was
esteemed to be a Judge in the early years of Christianity.

Origen (185-254) teacher in Alexandria from 203-231
Wikipedia:
"A series of attacks on him seems to have emanated from Alexandria,
whether for his self-castration (a capital crime in Roman law) or for
alleged heterodoxy
is unknown; but at all events these fulminations were heeded only at
Rome, while Palestine, Phoenicia, Arabia, and Achaia paid no attention
to them. |
|
 |
| Origen accordingly fled from Alexandria in 231–2, and made his permanent
home in Caesarea in Palestine, where his friend Theoctistus was bishop. |
If
bishops and presbyters of the communities had a serious theological
problem, then they asked Origen for an explanation.
After Orgenes
had spoken was the dispute almost always settled.
No one knew the
teaching of the early Church better than him.
Who
even in our days finds a voice among leading Christians like Origen
(185-254)? He left a portrait of events of early Christian teachings
and a legacy for future Generations by which all associations and
society’s will be measured. Yes! And that especially includes all
ecumenical Christian Society’s.
With
the following discourses we shall discover that measured against the
background of the teachings of Origen all ecumenical Ideologies and
believes stand on shaky ground.
In
the future the name of Origen will undoubtedly find its way more and
more in the forefront! In his general audience on April the 25th
2007 Pope Benedict the XVI. recommended his listeners by stating:
 |
| Pope Benedict the XVI. |
“I invite you to consider
the teachings of the great master Origen to make them a part of your
believing hearts.”
Twenty
years prior to the friendly invitation of Pope Benedict the XVI.
Cardinal Urs von Balthasar declares:
“It is impossible to
overestimate the importance of the teachings of Origen in regards to
Christian beliefs.”
Some
sixty years ago the catholic historian Ludwig Hertling a Member of
the Society of Jesus made the following statement:
“Origen was
never the intention of departing from the teachings of the Church”
(1)
It
means:
Origen never departed from
the teachings of the Church. It was the church which departed from
the teachings of Christ.
Let
us take eight of the main principle of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and
compar them with the ideologies of the early Church, according to the
reliable records of Origen.
The premortality of all living
Persons
The absolute untouchable
right of freedom of choice.
The plurality of Gods.
Humans may become Gods.
Redemption through the
Atonement of Jesus Christ and by our own efforts.
All Things where created in
Spirit before the Foundation of the Earth.
The necessity of on going
revelation.
The labour of our departed and
the possibility of an eternal marriage.
All
in all we find that the Church of Jesus Christ and the Teachings of
Origen are in total Harmony with each other.
Granted,
members of different faith, not familiar with the concepts must find
some of these teachings suspicious. On the whole only few will have
heard of Origen – even members and the leadership of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Between
the years 550 and 850 the Roman Church has done everything in its
power to distort the writings of Origens and destroy.
No one
dared to mess with the mighty forces of the Emperor Justinian (487-565).
Wikipedia : "Arianism is the theological teaching attributed to Arius ca. AD 250–336, a Christian presbyter in Alexandria, Egypt, concerning the relationship of God the Father to the Son of God Jesus Christ. Arius asserted that the Son of God was a subordinate entity to God the Father. Deemed a heretic by the Ecumenical First Council of Nicaea of 325."
Justinian
was the main enemy of the teachings of the early Church like Emperor Constantine. Justinian hated Origen like Constantine.
Only the Ostrogoths opposed the emperor of Byzantium (Constantinopel).
Initially pagan, the Goths were gradually converted to Arian Christianity in the course of the 4th century as a result of the missonary activity by the Gothic bishop Wulfila, who devised an alphabet to translate the Bible.
After 375, the Ostrogoths had conquered large parts of Italy. They were tolerant and
promoting peace, but they were not Athanasians as Justinian.
Therefore, Emperor Justinian sent in the year 554 his armies to
Italy.
The Ostrogoths were destroyed.
 |
| Maximum extent of territories ruled by Theoderic the Great in 523 |
Thus the Arian church lost
her power and her voice.
But the testified: "we have possessed the original Temple rites!" See here:
 |
| Edition Salbaroli, Ravenna I
personally discovered 32 literal parallels to Mormon Temple rites, which I will not
respond |
"Emperor Justinian had robbed them. He is a thief,
His wife Theodora holds in her right hand a temple - recommend, but she stole their "privilege", even if the Bishop hands over the certificate.
 |
| Edition Salbaroli, Ravenna |
The Arians in Germany were forcibly incorporated into the
Roman Church.
1984
I travelled to Berlin to spend a day of studying at the City Library.
Looking for something under the Title of early Church History. Thus I
find myself strolling through the endless narrow passages between the
Bookshelf’s.
My
Eyes fall on a heading that reads: Dictionary for Theology and
Religious Science.
(“Handwörterbuch
für Theologie und Religionswissenschaft” 3. völlig neue
bearbeitete Auflage Band 4, Kop-O, Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Tübingen,
1960, S. 1692-1702.)
As
I took it from the Shelf the name of Origen came to mind. I knew a
little about him but none of the knowledge that was just about to be
forever be imprinted on my being. In Origen “Book on Prayer” I
could not discover anything to fascinate me, some off it, so I
thought even sounded somewhat exaggerated. And thus in my previous
endeavour to read more about him I had given up in disappointment.
This time however I read with fixed determination. No one could ever
imagine my unspeakable joy there on Page 1696, Black on White words
written so long ago, by Origen:
“All logica in their
premortal State where body less Spirits and as such Gods.
Which as sattelite clung to
the Logos (Jesus Christ).
The role model of the Logos
which himself as stated in Gen 1: 26 is a God.
His Father another (higher)
God had created as many Spirits of ( human children) He in his
necessary limited Providence knew to govern.
We are the Logica!”
It
hit me like a bolt of Lightning.
Here
as a man of 55 I remembered as the Missionaries talking to my Father
of a pre-existence. I was only a child then.
Here
before my very own eyes in this Origen Text by F. H. Kettler with 4
additional aspects:
We
are Sons and Daughters of God the Father.
Connected
by the Holy Spirit Children which clung to the Logos.
Thus
becoming one in submission to the will of the Father.
It
was because of the slacking of spiritual vigour and aversion of
beholding Gods Glory that led to the fall of man.
Especially
the wording of our slackening of spiritual vigorand tiredness of
viewing Gods Glory touched the most inner part of my soul. I was only
11 years old playing in the warm sands on Zinnowitz Beach, listening
to the young Missionaries as the conversed with my Father uttering
the same words.
Bild
In
our premortal Home we had arrived at a point where our future
progression came to a hold. Tired of beholding our Fathers Glory—for
we still knew no opposition. Even as Children will appreciate the
comforts of Home ones they have departed from it. So we yearned to
gain our own experiences. Here where congruent statements,
immediately falling into place. God is concerned about our personal
progress. The development of our character. Our growth towards the
good not just our bigotry or piousness. But there was more, much
more!
Endless
Passages from the Bible, the Book of Mormon as well as other sacred
writings from my beloved Church came tumbling into my mind. I read
and I wrote for here right before me in a Book of the ecumenical
Christendom so totally unexpected lay the complete basis of
Mormonism.
There,
almost unbelievable written black on white “Pure Mormonism” from
the pre-existence of all Humans which belong to the Family of Adam to
the unimpeachability and worth of every Human Soul. Spontaneously I
cried out:
“My God, Oh! my God! then
Joseph Smith truly was your Prophet!”
For
one thing all at ones became chrystal clear. The boy Joseph had no
means of gaining all he related to the world via Books or any other
means. 1830 no one knew what Arianism or Origenism contained. He
Joseph however insisted that all he was commanded to do was to
restore the teachings of Jesus Christ.
I
had read the writings of the Apostle Thomas, the wonderful story of
the Syrian song of the Pearls.
There
we read of our pre-existence and of the purpose of our sojourn on
earth. How our Heavenly Father sends us to Earth with the task to
seek the Pearl. ( The Gospel) which hidden in the Ocean is guarded by
a ferocious Monster. Much courage is needed to overcome our lack of
Faith. Especially as all former recollections of our previous
existence has been removed.
He
ordained that we should walk by Faith. There just simply was no other
way of challenging our intellect.
I
thought of the many articles in the Nag-Hammadi Scriptures written in
the second Century. The Time of Origen, the harmony between these
writings:
“Hence is the one that
gains knowledge through revelation one from above. For when he is
called he will answer. He will turn to the one who has called him.
Because he has Gnosis ( Knowledge) to accomplish the will of him who
has called him. He who has acquired such insight, knows from whence
he has come. And knows where he will return. He recognises even as
one that was drunken after setting his affairs in order and thus
returning onto himself. Thus
true Gnosis is the recognition that Humans are God related Beings.”
(2)
I
had to think of the verses in the book of Proverbs 8: 22 to 30
“The Lord possessed me in
the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
I was set up from
everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
When there were no depths, I
was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
Before the mountains were
settled, before the hills was I brought forth.
While as yet he had not made
the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the
world.
When he prepared the heavens,
I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
When he established the
clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
When he gave to the sea his
degree,that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he
appointed the foundations of the earth.
Then I was by him as one
brought up with him; and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always
before him.”
One
of the Saints favourite Hymns: I am a Child of God.
“I am a child of God, and
he has sent me here, has given me an earthly home, with parents kind
and dear. Lead me, guide me, walk beside me, help me find the way;
teach me all that I must do to live with him someday.
I am a child of God, and so
my needs are great, help me to understand his words before it grows
too late. : Chorus
I am a child of God, rich
blessings are in store. If I but learn to do his will, I’ll live
with him once more: Chorus”
It
was not long after these verses appeared in our new Hymn book that
our chorister Mrs. Hildegard Albrecht, a member of the Church of
Jesus Christ of latter Day Saints, also being responsible for playing
the Organ and conducting the Children’s Choir in the evangelical
Church in New Buckow near Rostock. With the permission of the local
Parish minister she taught and presented the Hymn to the
Congregation. Later on she told of the magical effect these words had
on the hearts of believing souls. Simple truth had moved them to
tears.
Sadly,
many dare to call good things good only if their neighbours are of
the same opinion. Many of the members of our church relate the same
experiences as Mrs. Hildegard Albrecht. Often our Choir would be
asked to sing at the Graveside of close Family members the beautiful
Hymn of “Oh my Father”, in which the second verse holds a special
message.
“For a wise and glorious
purpose Thou hast placed me here on earth and withheld the
recollection of my former friends and birth, yet oft times a secret
something whispered your a stranger here, and I felt that I had
wandered from a more exalted sphere.”
Years
later whilst working as a representative of the CDU (Christian
Democratic Union) armed with knowledge and conviction I set of for a
meeting with Professor Dr. Zobel, a well known Theologian at the
University of Greifswald. Our arranged meeting was to be held at the
famous Castle Schwerin Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. I asked him of what
his thoughts on the basic teachings of the pre-existence as taught by
Origen are?
Professor
Zobel was most friendly, shook his head “No!” he replied! looking
at me through honest brown eyes:
“we do not
believe it.”
But
I intervened! Origen was a conciliator, he was a very important
Person, It was by him and through him that all forthcoming
differences among the congregations where settled.
Again
all Prof Zobel, could do was, to shake his Head. I recalled several
passages from Jewish literature (3) all pointing to our premortal
heritage. Insisting on the Idea that we had a premortal existence.
Again and again I confronted a total lack of understanding. His “
No” spoke volumes.
The
teachings of our pre-existence was banished in the middle of the
sixth Century because of political reasons, by Emperor Justinian. Not
necessarely because of the speculations connected with reincarnation.
The
doctrine of reincarination never stood on solid ground. In the year
543 Emperor Justinian removed this ideology because he thought it to
be dangerous for his own power.
Origen
taught that the circumstances into which we are born whilst here on
earth are directly connected to our development and attitude in our
premortal state. The Idea of reincarnation is therefore invalid.
Bruce
R. Mc Conkie member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints explains his objections
to reincarnation as follows:
“It is appointed unto man
once to be born, “once to die” ( Heb. 9: 27), once to be
resurrected, and thereafter to die no more.” ( Alma 11:45; 12: 18;
D&C 63:49.)
Reincarnation
has never been a part of Christ’s teachings. There were quasi
various levels of experiments. However in this world there are no
multiple birth.
There
are reports of absolutely positive insights that seam to portray
connections to reincarnation. If however we consider that the realm
of our souls coincided next to the (material) or earthly spheres it
becomes evident that we, long before being endowed with a mortal body
were able to see events on earth. Astonishing too is the fact that
modern Christians in regards to our pre-existence have been traced
back as far as to our first Father Adam.
Albert
Champdors in his work of the “Egyptian Book of the Dead” also
explained as did Christians of latter generations that the elements
of today’s Temple rites were practised among the Egyptians.
Should
you be interested in further research look for the Egyptian Book of
the Dead in you Library or see this pictures:
It
becomes very evident that the ancient bearers of cultures believed in
pre-existence, resurrection, washings for purification and a final
judgement.
#
The weighing of the heart in a relief in the temple of Hathor at Deir el-Medina. The deceased must be justified before the 42 dead judges.
Most
beautifully pictured with the weighing of the heart and
justification.
To
keep the Commandments, shun divorce, worshipping God, honouring
Father and Mother and to love your neighbour. Did you know that the
Greek Philosopher Plato lived for 13 years among Egyptian Priests?
It
was there he gained his insights to their teachings of the pre
existence which in latter years he carried to his homeland.
In
addition you may have a look at the Papyrus Prisse, which goes back
about 3500 years BC.
There
we read:
“Be not exuberant because
of riches. For it has been given to you from God. Love your neighbour
as thy self, let him be your equal. It is a godly trade if a son
hears the advice of his father, for he will have long live.” see
Exodus 20: 12.
None
of the above seams strange if we but realise that the Gospel is far
older then we can even comprehend. The core of the teachings of
eternal redemption, part of it the premortal existence of our spirits
has been mentioned again and again because of its beauty.
500 years following our Saviours
death, at the time of the East Synod of the Church. In
543 Emperor Justinian declared the doctrine of the premortal
existence of man heretical.
He eliminated it.
Historic
writings show that in spite of severe persecutions there always
remained groups of people that remained steadfast to their believes.
Among
them a group by the name of Cathars. (4)
Many
witnesses have declared: That besides Origen many other early
Theologians, Philosophers and Church leaders such as Justin the
Martyr 100-165, Tatian ( from the second Century) Clemens of
Alexandria (150 – 214 ) Gregory of Nyssa 334- 395), Synesios of
Cyrene (370 – 413) Bishop of Emesa Nemesius ( 400-450) believed
that the souls of humans where before the material world was created.
Their
Forbearer, because of the brutal killings their Christian brethren
under the command of Roman rule, escaped to live in the high cliffs
of the mountains in North Italy.
See:
Blog Gerd Skibbe “An important messages”
In
the spirit of stern opposition we hear the text that lead to the
punishment of Origen Teachings via the East Synod by Emperor
Justinian the first:
“If any one says or implies
that the souls of man lived in the pre-existence or dares to
contemplate that there were intelligences or holy beings, they are to
be exiled.”
Where
all that high mindedness lead the Nations of the earth is plain to
see. Even in this our age of enlightenment.
Only
with the teaching of our pre-existence may we understand the words
(or prayer which the Apostle Paul so joyously shared with his
brethren.
“Blessed be the God and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all
spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.
According as he has chosen us
in him before
the foundation of the world,
that we should be holy and without blame before him in love.”
(Eph1: 3+4)
Every
other explanation leads to a totally inhuman result. Like for
instance the one by Bishop Augustine of Hippo (354-430) who with all
his speculations in regards to predestination has lead millions of
believers into endless misery, the damages caused by such Ideology
need to be contemplated. Augustine taught:
“Only a small number of
humans are chosen to have eternal bliss, the
remainder are condemned
because of the fall of man.”
This
also was never part of the teachings of the early Church.
Prof.
Hans Küng (high ranking cath. Theologian) mentions the following:
““All this oppositions
stand contrary to the teachings of Origin (and
Christ) for he
promises Salvation to all
of his children. The effect of such outlandish Ideas caused much
fear. Such demonic thoughts plagued the minds of man even beyond the
times of Luther s and Calvin’s reformations .For they too
accepted the Idea that only a few will be favoured by God.” (5)
We
should take the time to contemplate what is being said here.
Christians of the middle ages that is after Augustine had to except
the thought that they as individuals had no say in the matter at all.
They were chosen to be redeemed or chosen to go to hell.
Above
that a hell from which they would never escape.
But
Augustine s teachings of predestination are no longer proclaimed by
Theologians of our day.
However
they still have their effect in today’s evangelical and catholic
views of justification 1999:
The
document is known as: “The Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of
Justification”
In
the book of Mormon: Alma chapter 13 we read : That many in their
premortal state were selected and foreordained because of their
attitude and conduct in their first estate.
It
is the foresight of God.
Which
with Origenes and in our Church are the roll players?
Origen
says: “ “Things do
not happen because God can see them in advance.”
It
is remarkable how often in the context of Origenes writings the
phrase Intelligences
is mentioned. This
phrase also appeared much in the writings of the early Church and in
our standard works, especially the Pearl of great price and in the
Doctrine and Covenants of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints.
Such
knowledge was the centre of Christian thoughts and believes.

"Das
Passah ist das Aramäische pacach (paw-sakh) und bedeutet soviel wie
'hinüber gehen'. Obwohl dieses 'Hinübergehen' in bei den Juden und bei
den Christen von größter Bedeutung ist, ist die eigentliche Bedeutung
den Jüdischen Gelehrten und Christlichen Theologen kaum mehr bekannt.
Dieses liegt zum einen daran, dass es deren immer nur wenige waren,
welche die verborgenen Symbole deuten konnten oder wollten, jene,
welche sich kundig gemacht haben über den Sinn des Ganzen, aber zum
anderen an der Dogmatik der Gelehrten, die äußeren Traditionen als
bedeutender zu erhalten, als die originäre Bedeutung selbst und dem
Unterdrücken aller Kritik.
Im Ursprung war das 'Hinübergehen'
die Bedeutung des Hinübergehens des Menschen aus seinem Fleisch(lichen
Körper) hinüber in die körperlose 'Welt', der Heimat der Seele. Dieses
Hinübergehen ist im Buche Exodus (Shemoth) der Juden, als der 'Auszug
der Seele aus dem fleischlichen Körper' in dieser Welt in das
Hinübergehen in die fleischlose Welt der Seele als Parabel
niedergeschrieben, aber das Thema kehrt auch in vielen anderen
Geschichten der Tora als Parabel auf.
Symbolik ist eine
Sprache, welche auch durch die Begriffe in den gesprochen Sprachen
ausgedrückt wird. So ist das 'über den Jordan gehen' dieselbe Symbolik
wie das Passah. Das Yardana, Jordon, ist im Aramäischen 'der Strom oder
Fluss des Lebens'.
Abseits des Streites der Theologen kann man
allein in der Aramäischen Sprache Mosaiksteine finden, für ein Bild,
das es erlaubt auch das Bewusstsein der Menschen besser nachvollziehen
zu können.
So bedeutet im Aramäischen 'Bit Nitupta' das 'Haus der Präexistenz',
was unschwer erkennen lässt, dass die Menschen eine Präexistenz
argumentierten, wovon die späteren Christen in Nicea nichts wissen
wollten und einen Fluch aussprachen gegen jene, welche das weiter
argumentierten.
...
Der Symbolik bedarf es deshalb im Verstehen
des Spirituellen oder Geistigen, weil es dort nichts zu begreifen gibt,
das man mit den physischen Sinnen begreifen kann, wie ein Schwert oder
ein Brot oder durch datierbare historische Dokumente. Das Historische
ist Analyse, aber bringt keine geistige Erkenntnis. Deshalb mussten
alle Schreiber, die über das Unbeschreibliche Geistige schrieben, sich
der Symbolik bedienen. Alle. Nur jene, die das Historische beschrieben,
konnten das mit den Begriffen beschreiben, die in der lokalen
(Mutter-)Sprache allen bekannt waren.
So haben denn auch die
jüdischen Menschen, die das Epos 'Exodus' ('Shemoth') schrieben, die
Parabel als Symbol verwendet, um das Hinübergehen in die fleischlose
Welt der Seele (Mensch) aus seinem Fleisch(lichen Körper) hinüber in
die körperlose 'Welt', in die Heimat der Seele, zu vermitteln.
Hierbei
verwendeten sie für das 'Herabsteigen der Seele' aus der Heimat der
Seele in einen fleischlichen (engen) Körper das Symbol 'Mitzrayim', das
im Hebräischen 'Enge Orte' oder 'eingeengte Orte', 'Knast',
Knechtschaft' oder 'Gefängnis' bedeutet. Das 'herab'
ist ein Vektor-Begriff, der sich aus dem 'oben' des (sichtbaren) Himmels
ableitet, an dem sich die sieben Lichter (sichtbare Planeten) bewegen,
in welchen die Astrologen (Magier) bestimmte spezifische Qualitäten
sahen die sie verehrten und in dem sie die Heimat der Seele vermuteten
und sich selbst gebunden fühlten an die Erde und ihre Kraft
(Schwerkraft) und den fleischlichen Körper.
Mit diesem
Eingesperrtsein der Seele in einen fleischlichen Körper als Basis, ist
notwendig ein Kampf verbunden, der, um den Körper zu erhalten mit dem
Anderen streitet um das Brot, das Gut oder das Land, denn der Andere
muss denselben Streit üben um zu leben. Dieser Streit wird solange
erhalten, wie es das fleischliche Leben gibt und die Geschichte ist voll
von Kriegen, Machtkämpfen und Unterdrückung.
Die Seele hat
immer Heimweh und wenn es den Streit leid ist und die Unlösbarkeit des
Konfliktes mit den anderen erkennt, weil das ein offenes System ist,
dann kommt das Tun und Streiten zur Ruhe und es beginnt ein anderer
'Streit' den die Hebräer 'Yisrael' nennen. Yisrael ist der 'Begriff'
'Der, der mit Gott ringt'. Es ist die aus dem fleischlichen
Körperbewusstsein erwachte Seele, welche nun darum ringt sich aus der
Gefangenschaft des Körpers und der Sklaverei der weltlichen Macht zu
befreien. Dieses ist symbolisiert in dem Exodus in epischer Breite und
enthält viele weitere Symbole einzig um dieses 'Hinübergehen' zu
beschreiben.
Erkennen tun es immer nur wenige. "
