Faith – The First Doctrine of the AntiChrist
The Churches established by the True Heirs of Christ were of course characterized by all sorts of Supernatural Wonders and Miracles. The True Apostles and Disciples were One in the True Vine of Christ, and the Fruit of that Vine were quite evident. No, not everyone could perform Miracles. Growing into the Vine of Christ is as much a biological as Supernatural Process and so it takes time. But those who persisted in the True Church eventually bore the Fruit.
And then there were the Congregations of the Antichrist – of the Church of Paul. Certainly the Church of Satan can have no Grace, and in the Congregations of Paul there were no Miracles. Paul created some substitutes. The Practice of “Talking in Tongues” was a decoy for the Miraculous. Instead of multiplying loaves or walking on water, Paul convinced his people that the Grace of God consisted in incoherent mumbling.
But Jesus was known for a Ministry of Miraculous Healings. Paul was delivering none of this, and he eventually would need to explain why not. His explanation was the Doctrine of Faith.
“Faith” would be used to shift the blame for the failure to produce the Miraculous. The Doctrine of Faith is not so much a Positive Doctrine, in that it is intended to explain why there ARE Miracles, but it is practically used as a Negative Doctrine, to explain why there ARE NOT Miracles. Paul did not need to explain why there were so many miracles, but why there were so few. And the Explanation was not that Paul and his Minions were spiritually sterile. Using the Doctrine of Sufficient Faith, the Congregations themselves could be blamed, in that, “We would have plenty of miracles except that you people don’t have enough Faith”.
In studying the True Saints of the Marian Catholic Church, we do not see that the recipients of their Miracles were particularly full of a significantly higher level of Faith then those of the disappointed Congregations of the Pauline Pretenders. Even the Saints themselves were not so remarkable for their absolute certainties. They were simply affiliated with the Correct Church.
Real Miracles do not require Faith.
