Why I am a Church of One

I read an article just yesterday about a family suing a priest for what he said at their son’s funeral.  This family had a son who was a straight-A student and was a terrific athlete.  The priest presiding over the funeral talked openly about the Church;s stance on suicide, because you see, that is what this young man did.  He took his own life.  Yes, we can focus on achievements of great people, but when ANY person chooses to end his or her life, those achievements go right out the window.  How can I say this?  I would be dead if it weren’t for what I claim my Angels told me.  A person can be the most vie person in the world, but if he or she can live with himself or herself, it doesn’t matter as long as they can live with themselves.  Regardless of what ANY person does, sometimes he or she can’t live with themselves.  And this is where God draws the line.

And this is exactly why I am a Church of ONE person.  I refuse to do funerals, even to the point where I just about refuse to attend any, unless I feel it is family or I have some obligation to be there.  It’s because of my view of God’s Judgment.  I look at the end product of a person’s life.  But during that person’s life, he or she, at least in MY mind, cannot be guilty of ever having intentionally taken a Human Life, including that of one’s own life.  I have no words for family’s who suffer the loss of a victim of suicide.  None.  There is nothing I can say to them.  I can’t give them the comfort they seek.  And it’s why I won’t officiate over funerals.  I just won’t  And it’s mostly why I will NOT attend funerals.  And I would say this is especially true if I don’t know the person very well.  And THAT is MY policy.

So, I am a Church of ONE person.  This is all I can be  I don’t expect most anyone to accept MY plan of salvation.  It’s too simple and requires nothing on the part of the saved to EARN his or her salvation.  We are saved according to what we do NOT do.  We don’t intentionally take Human Life, including that of our own lives.  Period.  Otherwise, I personally don’t care what a person does with his or her life  I just only in regard to whether a person has intentionally taken a Human Life including that of one’s own life  About the ONLY religion that I can think of that would accept such a statement would be Buddhism, which celebrates EVERY single living organism.  In MY thinking, NOTHING is more sacred than EVERY single Human Life.  Period.  And I claim not to have been taught this by ANY institution, person (living or dead), or any kind of entity other than Angels.  If I didn’t accept this as Truth, I wouldn’t be here today.  This is the ONLY proof I have.  I am alive and therefore, as long as I am alive, this statement is TRUE!  Peace.  I am Brother Ralphie writing for my Angels from The Angels of Life Institute.  Brother Ralphie works from his study for the promotion of Peaceful living and inner Peace with God.
