Te Rongopai a Ihu Karaiti

 Why seek ye the living among the dead? He aha koutou, ka rapu ai i te tangata ora i roto i te hunga mate? Luke 24:5 .

 May the Lord bless your good journey this year.

The entire mission of Te Rongopai o Ihu Karaiti is based on the first commandment (also known as the Shema) and second commandment (also known as the Royal Law) as instructed by Jesus.

Jesus sets a simple pattern of prayer regarding how we should approach Heavenly Father and what we should ask of him.

 I have finished the work you sent me to do. I commend my spirit into your hands.

Then saith he to Thomas, reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. John 20:27-28.

  And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer.

In the ten commandments, we read "thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain Exodus 20:7 .

Kia whakapaia koe, e te Ariki, e te Atua. Nāu nei ngā kai katoa i whakahua mai i te whenua, hei kai mā te tinana. Nāu anō hoki te taro o te ora i whakahua mai i te rangi, hei kai mā te wairua. Haramai te rangatiratanga. Hei au koe noho ai, āke, āke. Āmine.

The plan of salvation is a tri-existential state of being, which was set in place to advance the children of God across the cosmic eternities of time and space towards a divine destiny. The plan was initiated before the foundation of this world was laid, wherein each person is in a different state of progression, without beginning of days nor end of years.

In Exodus 3:14 , God reveals himself to Moses as 'I AM WHO I AM'. In the New Testament John 8:58 , when Jesus was asked if he was greater than Abraham, He answered, "even as Abraham was I AM".

Kia aroha noa ki tōu hoa, anō ko koe. Love thy neighbour as thyself!  

If most churches teach conflicting doctrine, then which one should you follow? All of them can't be right!

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27 KJV
