The necessity of change
This new teaching delivers the first ever religious claim of insight into the human condition, that meets the Enlightenment criteria of testable, verifiable, direct cause and effect, evidence based truth embodied in action; the basis for the first ever viable religious conception capable of leading reason, by faith, to observable consequences which can be tested and judged. For the first time in history, however unexpected, the world must measure for itself, the reality of a new claim to revealed truth, a moral tenet not of human intellectual origin, offering access by faith, to absolute proof, an objective basis for moral principle and a fully rationally, justifiable belief!
The moral limitations of the human species.

A comment on Conversation: Why for so many is it science or religion with no room inbetween for honest existential consideration?
I think the key word here is 'honest'. Having two competing conceptions of knowledge makes the very idea of intellectual honesty dubious in itself. The epistemological game played by philosophy of trying to justify belief from opinion was never going to hold much water against a competing conception that demanded testable results. One might even see empirical science as the bullwork against a natural reason that contains within itself a dishonest bent? So the question is which is the most honest. One process, transparent, that can demonstrate results or one opaque, that cannot and demands blind faith!
Just how dishonest 'faith' might be can only be imagined, [even while not questioning the sincerity of those who hold it] but the scriptural record has a lot more to say about it that one will ever hear from a pulpit. And the question itself only arises because of the long standing theological presumption, upon which all monotheism is founded, that a definitive proof of God, one subject to the kind of scrutiny associated with science is not possible. And so the dichotomy remains unresolved . . . for the moment.
The first wholly new interpretation for two thousand years of the moral teachings of Christ is published on the web. Radically different from anything else we know of from history, this new teaching is predicated upon a precise and predefined experience and called 'the first Resurrection' in the sense that the Resurrection of Jesus was intended to demonstrate Gods' willingness to reveal Himself and intervene directly into the natural world for those obedient to His will. So like it or no, a new religious claim, testable by faith, meeting all Enlightenment criteria of evidence based causation and definitive proof now exists. Nothing short of a religious revolution maybe getting under way! More at http://www.energon.org.uk or
