ARTICLE XIV.

Of Works of Supererogation.

 

Voluntary works, besides, over and above God’s commandments, which they call Works of Supererogation, cannot be taught without arrogancy and impiety : for by them men do declare, that they do not only render unto God as much as they are bound to do, but that they do more for His sake than of bounden duty is required: whereas Christ saith plainly, “When ye have done all that are com­manded to you, say, We are unprofitable servants”.

 

It is evident from the definition of “superogation”(: supererogatio, payment beyond what is due or asked, from super, beyond, erogare, to pay out, expend, ex, out, rogare, to ask is the performance of more than is asked for, the action of doing more than duty requires. Supererogatory, in ethics indicates an act that is good but not morally required to be done. It refers to an act that is more than necessary, when another course of action, involving less, would still be an acceptable action. It differs from a duty, which is an act that would be wrong not to do, and from acts that are morally neutral. Supererogation may be considered as performing above and beyond a normative course of duty to further benefits and functionality) that the Corruption of the Medieval Roman Church involved in the Indulgences, and the Manipulation of the subject by the Reformation when defining Priest celibacy as an invention of the Devil, dispute in the center of the matter which ended taking away from it its Jesuchristian meaning; it is evident, I say, that both parties, the first for promoting corruption, and the latter to self-indulge in the act of Division of the Churches by the Devil promoted, produced and directed; it is evident, I say again, that in the heat of the discussion both partiers lost their mind and took the subject very far away from its original content.

From the original meaning of works of supererogation, (God knows who invented this name), by which the Deeds &Works of Christ has a value in itself before God, and counting on this value, Christ went far beyond Abraham, who expected to gain from God, by the sacrifice of his son Isaac, the Confirmation of His Oldest Promise, that a son of Eve would come to claim the Throne of his father, Adam; counting on this value of the deeds of men before God’s eyes, Christ did not actually sacrifice a beast, as required by the Law, or someone else, as Abraham did, but He presented His own Flesh and Blood to conquer from God a New Promise, that He would never leave Christian Mankind alone, and at the end of the times He Himself, as the head of the sons of God, would lead the Nations to His Kingdom.

How could the Deeds of Christ, whether in Abraham, Moses, David, or Isaiah, or Jesus, had no value in the eyes of God?

If the Deeds of Christ had no value in the eyes of God, and a savior value indeed, as to create a Treasure to buy with it the souls of men, how could be there a Final Judgment, or just a judgment?

But by His Deeds Christ justified the nations of the Past, and by opening to Mankind a Future He offered us all a Chance to present our case before the Tribunal of God. He was Him, Christ, in Noah, in Abraham, Moses and David, who presented our case before the Tribunal of the sons of God, and in Jesus, Christ took our Defense according to the most powerful speech, the Speech of the Blood. But if the Christian Faith consists only and exclusively in the Creed of the Apostles, this is to say : Jesus is the Son of the Living God, why had they to die? Why did not they relax, sing songs and enjoy their lives in the vision of the eternal life in Paradise?

The Deeds of Christ in the sons of God, in the servants of the Lord, in the people of the King, have no savior value?

The dispute between the churches, Roman and Anglican came about by a woman. The Fall of Man too. However, Christ was the Incarnation of a Deed of Supererogation. Why had the son of Man to give up his life for a bunch of fools? If the Deeds of Christ have no value before God, this is to say, a supererogation value, why the Apostles had to die?

The dispute, once lowered down to the level of pennies and vaginas, became an absurdity.

The Roman Church was the first, buying and selling Souls for a coin, to level the Deeds of Christ with the act of a fool. It was the mission of the Reformation, according to the answer of the nation to that foolish free market, to give an end to that Corruption. Instead the Mission became a negotiation between vaginas and pennies to get free from the corset of the Medieval Ecclesiastical Structure.

If Faith alone, this is to say, (I repeat myself like a retarded intellectual), Jesus is the Son of God, saves, and no need is of anything else, but to be good, cook good, make love good, work good, pay good, and die good, Christianity is not born from this Faith alone, but by the Act of Supererogation of a Series of Generations, led by the Apostles, with whose Blood they bought for the Nations a Future.

If the Reformation was based on the Doctrine of the Kingdom of heavens, by Jesus given to the Apostles, and according to the Reformation’s doctrine the Deeds of Supererogation (Deeds springing out of the Law of Freedom) has no value before the Eyes of God, and from this the advising of not boasting on the deeds of the flesh, then, according to this doctrine, Faith Alone, the Apostles were a bunch of fools, and of the worst kind, sado-masochist fools. And because, to them, to the Reformers, we must give them a very very large and loud hands clapping. They deserve it. They were right, the Deed of the Flesh means nothing to God. What else?

O yeah, I forgot to ask : Which of the Deeds of Christ was a deed of the flesh?

If you mean to have or not to have children is the Question, well...

A deed of the flesh, means nothing you can buy something with from God, you are right.

If you mean that the Deeds of the Spirit means nothing to God, you are wrong.

The Cross was not a deed of Flesh, but of the Spirit. Neither the Resurrection was a Deed of the Flesh.

To eat more or less, to dress in black or in yellow, to drive a big car or a motorbike, what? You expect to bargain with God on that premise? You are going to stand up before the Tribunal of God in the name of your fathers and all you have to say is : “Look what a wonderful car, I have, Lord? To a man like this you gotta give him anything”.

But all this is nonsense. Just the nonsense the Reformation brought about, and upon this nonsense they called themselves divines.?

We do not live under the Law of slavery, but under the Law of Freedom. We do what we do because we love to do what we do. But if anybody feels forced to do the Deeds of Christ, it’s all right. Just get out of the way, don’t close the way to others.

Does the Deeds of Christ has no value before God?

So, the Cross was nothing. Jesus was a slave? He did not act under the Law of Freedom?

But He said : I had the Power of giving and taking back. He was in His Hand to give or to take back. He was Born Free, He was a Free Man. Of course if you want to resurrect, you got to die. But He didn’t have to die to go back where He came from. To die or not to die was an Act of Freedom. It is from this Freedom that the Deed of Supererogation came to life.

To center the question in an example more close to us. We have all seen Mother Teresa de Calcutta. She did what she did to be adored or to gain souls for Paradise?

But if the Reformation’s doctrine is true and Faith alone is required, Mother Teresa de Calcutta was the greatest XXTH Century’s fool. Was she?

Her Deed were deeds of the flesh or of the Spirit?

So, when we speak of Works of Supererogation, what are we talking about?

Of course, from the point of view of an Anglican priest : marriage of celibacy, right?

The question is beyond pennies and vaginas, the questions turns around the salvation of souls. Christ lives to save souls. Christ lives in every son and servant of God in a different way, but the direction, the source, the stream, the nature of every one and all is Christ’s Spirit.

All that what we do is a work of supererogation. The entire Christ’s Life was a Work of Supererogation.

This being the Nature of the Source, how could the Stream born in it and from it filling the lands not to be a Work of Supererogation?

The Argument of the sons of and Servants of God, born in Earth, in the Defense of the Human Nations is not a Deed of Supererogation?

Sold to slavery in Mankind’s Infancy, surrendered to the Power of the Death because the Treason of a son of God born not in this Earth, who, but we, the sons of God, will stand before God to ask for Universal Absolution for the Fullness of the Human Nations from the Omnipotent and Sempiternal Judge of the Worlds?

And how will we get access to the tribunal, to plead our Cause, if our Deeds are those of pennies and vaginas?

You are married, good; he is not married, who are you to make of yourself the measure of the Spirit of Christ?

He is devoted in body and soul to the souls of men, wonderful. You are a husband and a father, devoted to the salvation of the souls too, great, where is your problem? Are you jealous? The Blessing of God is on both, marriage and celibacy. Had no marriage existed there will be no Future; but a Priest devoted hundred per cent to Christ will reach more souls than another whose family deprived Christ of a great deal of time. Is theirs a Work of Supererogation of a lesser value than yours? How can the Wife  administer a House so Universal without the Servants of Her Husband?

This is the big question to resolve : Who are you Master?

Turning to History, and to give a first blow to the criticizing of the policy of Gregory VII, I say that the structure of the times did not allow the man to do different.  The Devil and his puppet, the Holy German Roman Emperor, were working together to turn the Wife of the Lord into a Whore, type of Byzantine Church.

Anyway, Her House was still small. The problem is that as the House of the Church became larger and larger the Roman Church, corrupted by the Devil’s Seed, remember the Words of Christ,  She lost the vision of the whole and instead of giving up the special powers by Gregory VII taken to fight back the Devil, the Roman Church wanted to keep it to become the Lord of the Servants of Her Lord. This malignant situation led the whole question to the Division of the churches.

Now, that the Catholic Church is the Wife of the Lord, no doubt. That Her Lord is the Lord of the Servants of God, and not She, no doubt neither. The Servants are under the Lord who call them and work in His House.

Again, the House belong to the Lord and the Lord has a Wife. She lives in the House of Her Lord and the Servants who work in the Field live in their own houses. The Servants are not constrained to Celibacy. The Wife of the Lord, She is. She is the Body of Christ, the Trunk of the Tree of the churches, the Tree of Spiritual Life.

The Saint Spirit in Paul said it very clearly : “get married, don’t burn”. He who consecrates himself to Christ he does so during the time of his power; once he can’t keep longer, he stays in the Church, at the service of God. Every man who works for God is a Supererogation Soul, under the Law of Freedom; he will not live in the House of the Lord, but will live in his own house, serving in the Field as a brother of Christ.

Those who are called under the Law of Marriage, they do well keep on living under the Law of God in the Holy Sacrament of the Catholic Marriage. As we read in the Scriptures, the Lord has many “virgins”, but only One is His Beloved Wife.

From all this we see that the statement of this Article : “Voluntary works, besides, over and above God’s commandments, which they call Works of Supererogation, cannot be taught without arrogancy and impiety”, it is a denial of the Law of Freedom under which Christ lived, and a denial of the Law of Freedom He bought for us with His Blood, this is to say : with the most wonderful Work of Supererogation ever done in the name of the Salvation of Mankind.

I will not repeat myself over and over again. It is evident from the Freedom proclaimed by Jesus upon His Work, that this Article is a Denial of Jesus’s Freedom and of the Christian Man’s Freedom, denial who came about for a simple dispute of vaginas and pennies.

Where in the Commandments is written that the Apostles had to die? Or when men born in slavery did not fight for their freedom? When Paul said that he was a slave for his brother’s sake, he could speak so because he was free, the Work of Supererogation of his was that slavery he was boasting of before the first generation of Christians.

Now what? Saved by the Faith, to hell with the world? This is the advice of the Anglican Church?

The greatest Work of Supererogation of the Servants of God  is to keep the Law of Christ against the storms and the earthquakes of the centuries.  It will be good for the Anglican Church to look at herself in the mirror and see if the Scriptures, Foundation of her Creed according to her divines, speak of females Priestess, and Gay Marriage, and Gay priesthood.

He who does not live buy the Law of his Lord, he is not servant of the Lord by him betrayed. For so it is written:

He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life, Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and I they will be my children. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and the liars,  they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death”.
