The Origins Of Nature And Evil

In the beginning of time, God created heaven and earth.  Time proceeds from this world, not before the world.

The earth is not suspended in the middle of the universe like a balance hung in equilibrium:  the majesty of God holds it together by the law of His own will.

Evil arose from us, and was not made by the Creator God.  It is produced by the created thing; it does not have the dignity of a natural substance.  It is a fault due to our mutability and is an error due to our fall.

And God said, “Let there be a dome in the midst of the waters and let it separate the waters from the waters; .. and it was so,” Genesis 1:6.  Listen to the words of God, “Let there be,” He said.  This is the word of a commander, not of an adviser.  He gives orders to nature and does not comply with its power.  He does not regard its measurements, nor does He examine its weight.  His will is the measure of things and His word is the completion of the work.

But since His word is nature’s birth, justly therefore does He who gave nature its origin presume to give nature its law.

“Let the earth bring forth,” God said, and immediately the whole earth was filled with growing vegetation.  And to humanity it was said, “Love the Lord your God”; yet the love of God is not instilled in the hearts of all.  Deafer are human hearts than the hardest rock.

The bramble preceded in time the light of the sun; the blade of grass is older than the moon.  Therefore, do not believe that object to be a god to which the gifts of God are seen to be preferred.  Three days [of creation] have passed.  No one, meanwhile, has looked for the sun, yet the brilliance of light has been in evidence everywhere.

“Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures,” Genesis 1:20, said the Lord—a brief statement, but a significant one and one widely effective in endowing with their nature the smallest and the largest animals without distinction.  The whale as well as the frog came into existence at the same time by the same creative power.

Fish follow a divine law, whereas human beings contravene it.  Fish daily comply with the celestial mandates, but humans make void the precepts of God.

Moses saw that there was no place in the words of the Holy Spirit for the vanity of this perishable knowledge which deceives and deludes us in our attempt to explain the unexplainable.  He believed that only those things should be recorded which tend to our salvation.

The Word of God permeates every creature in the constitution of the world.

The divine wisdom penetrates and fills all things.  Far more conviction is gained from the observation of irrational creatures than from the arguments of rational beings.  Of more value is the testimony given by nature than the proof presented by teaching.

 From the writings of St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan +397AD

All Is Not Right


Our ancestors are heretics and thieves. All of Western Europe is in heresy having been cast out of the Church in 1054. Pride and thievery were bred and birthed by Satan who in turn led the entire Western Orthodox Church into heresy.  A man is known by his deeds and the works of Western heretics have always been acts of thievery and arrogance. In arrogance the leaders of the Western Church sought dominance over their brethren of the East and when they couldn’t dominate and control, they stole to satisfy their greed and carnal desires and the Crusades confirmed their allegiance to the evil one. All this, they did in the name of Jesus Christ and in doing so, they committed blasphemy, justifying their thievery and wiping their lips as dripping with arrogance as though their acts were somehow righteous. 

The arrogance and thievery of Western Christians heretics continues to this day both in Europe and in America. They send out missionary wolves cloaked in sheep’s clothing to open the way for their thievery to continue, stealing the resources of nations while enslaving  and impoverishing the peoples to whom they proclaim a false and polluted gospel. 

America is a classic example of how the practices of Western Christian heretics are manifest. Heretics breed heretics and they are known by their works which are done in the name of Jesus Christ while at the same time smelling of dark sulphur which emanates only from demons. These Western Christian heretics speak righteously while committing acts of wickedness. A grievous example of this was the treatment of the indigenous tribes that were evangelized in the name of Jesus Christ and supposedly for the glory of God. Yet, proclaiming to bring to Christ, these indigenous peoples, instead, they were sacrificed to the demons whom Western Christian heretics serve. Those not killed, were impoverished and their land was stolen by trickery, deceit and violence.  



Western Christian heretics have committed similar acts throughout South America, Africa, and the Middle East, while making it their goal to evangelize the entire world with their false gospel, a gospel not of hope but of despair, not of love but of hate, note of charity but of theft. The Western Christian heretics have always and will continue to sow confusion and chaos wherever they set foot and at the Day of Judgement, the Lord almighty will proclaim to them, “I never knew you, depart from me, you workers of iniquity.”
