I am fascinated and heartened that protestants have been so affected by a Catholic author.

I will tell what God the Creator is! He is "NOT" The White Bearded guy you saw at the the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel! His name is Yaweh Elohim, ( spoken Jahuveh Elohim )! He is a 5 '4 tall in human form, which is .7 per cent spirit, when on Earth! I have seen him at the market in Tielt, Belgium, and at the Kortrijkstraat, two times! His son, the archangel - Archangel Michael is his only beloved "son", who, luckily never got crucified!!! For god's sakes, who would crucify His own son????!!!! Humans have cruel imaginations!!! But, it is true, that, a third of the angels that he created became the "Freemasons" and "The Illuminatis"! They have been defying Him for hundreds of years!!! These are the ones that ruled the world out of "power" - "hebzucht" and "money"!!! They did not like the "apperance" of the real God, because he's a "black haired Henebrew", and they are "blonde"!!!Be careful of this thing in your "brainn" called Jesus Christ, since it defies the real God, and the more you defy Him, the more he castigates you!
